Title: If Only

Summary: I hate his hair, his smirk, his Slytherinosity and just the fact that he's Draco Malfoy. Or, at least, I think I do...

Rating: PG-13, to be safe. Swearing. Slight romance. Nothing big. If you disagree with this rating, tell me, and if you change my mind, the rating will change with it.

Disclaimer: I am not, do not own, and should not be associated with J.K. Rowling or any of her characters. I am a FANfiction writer, and I plan to stay that way. Any words from a song will be credited for.

Beta-ed by: Me! I'm currently out of contact with my beta reader, so if anyone is interested in beta-ing for me, just email or review to let me know!

A/N: I have never written anything but Lily and James fanfiction, so I don't know how this will turn out. But please, bear with me.

I started writing this chapter immediately after I finished chapter 7. And then I was so busy and I was feeling sort of depressed, so there was a lull in my writing. But I've finished (finally), and here you go! ;)

Prologue: The Beast

I'm deadly, mean, and mighty unclean.

I'm a wanted man.

Public enemy number one.

Understand?

(TNT by AC/DC)

I swear, if it weren't against the law, I'd kill him. And none of that Avada Kedavra business. I'd make him die a slow, painful death, and I'd enjoy every second of it. If only I had the conviction, or at least the lack of fear of getting in trouble.

I'm not the only one that hates him. There's Harry, and Ron, and the rest of Gryffindor. And all the Hufflepuffs and the Ravenclaws. Not to mention some of his own kind, even if they are wretched Slytherins. And let's not forget all of the professors, excluding Snape and maybe Dumbledore. I'd say he was loathed by at least seven eighths of the school, even if half of those people are too afraid of him to admit it.

What I'm trying to get at is that Draco Malfoy is an evil, immoral, good-for-nothing asshole who can't keep his pants on. Him and his little Slytherin friends and that slut Pansy Parkinson definitely bring a downside to life at Hogwarts.

The trouble is, even the girls who hate him think he's the most gorgeous thing that ever walked the Earth!

"Oh, Hermione, just look at those eyes! They just seem to penetrate your soul...and that grey! It's like steel! I've never seen such a shade, and I don't think I ever will!"

Please. A guy is not good-looking just because his eyes are an unnatural shade.

"Just look at that hair! It's such a gorgeous blonde, and the way it falls right in his eyes...God, I can't get enough!"

Yeah, right. His hair is too light. I bet he dyes it.

"He's so tall! But not too tall, if you know what I mean. Because then he'd be a giant and that's just not cool. No, he's just the perfect height!"

How can someone be the perfect height?? There are many heights in the world, and not one of them is perfect for everyone.

"He's got the most amazing build! But he's not over muscle-y. Toned, and not too pale, and he's just...perfect. I want him in my Christmas stocking this year!"

Yeah, okay. How can he be perfect if he's got the worst attitude in the world? I don't care how hot a guy is...if he doesn't respect people for who they are, then he can go to hell for all I care.

That's the problem with girls my age...they don't think about the way a guy treats them, or how much they actually like him for who he is...they just see them. And I know that no matter how much any girl at Hogwarts hated Draco Malfoy, they'd still say yes to a date with him in a second.

Any girl but me.
