Living a Made Up life

Chapter One

How is it that people can hide their feelings away from everyone else? He has hidden his true feelings for seven years; I always thought he hated me. I am Hermione Granger, he is Draco Malfoy, it started off in the morning.

FLASHBACK

The usual fight between Harry, Ron, Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle. It happened right after breakfast, Malfoy ran right into me knocking me clean off my feet.

"Watch it Mudblood!" he said scathingly

"You ran into her Malfoy!" yelled Harry

"Well, I had other things to pay attention to and quite frankly watching out for a Mudblood doesn't seem to make my list."

At this point I had risen from the floor, trying to make the words he'd said bounce off me but it didn't work, I felt the tears swell in my eyes and blinked back while watching Harry struggle to keep Ron back.

"Hmmm....I seem to have touched a nerve." he drawled.

I don't know why I said this but I did.

"Don't worry Ron, we all know what's going to happen, I hope you're not missing your father too much because we all know you'll be joining him in Azkaban anytime soon!"

I saw I'd gone too far when I looked into his eyes, they were full of rage. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me forward, I heard Harry and Ron struggling behind me against Crabbe and Goyle. I focused on Malfoy, scared by what he might do.

"Don't you ever say that again." he muttered, "and if you do, you will be very sorry!"

"And what would you ever be able to do to me?" I answered, but I felt I was pushing my luck. His hand clenched harder around my wrist, I looked fearfully into his eyes.

"By the look on your face......anything," he murmured. With that he let go of my wrist, I went to go back to Harry and Ron who were still struggling, but Malfoy took hold of my waist and pulled me back so that we almost nose to nose.

"What's the rush Granger hm? He asked. I tried to pull away but he was too strong, I started plummeting my free fists into his chest and before I knew it he had my arms pinned to my sides.

"Let me go, please?" I asked in what didn't mean to like a whimper.

"Mmmm no," he muttered softly, "I think we have a few issues to...let us say....sort out."

I just started to fear what exactly he wanted to sort out when he spoke again.

"First of all..... I hate my father and I will never ever be like him, second.... I've been through more than what you think I have, having to live up to a bastard father's expectations and never being able to live up to them no matter how hard you strain to make him proud!" He just stared into my eyes the whole time he spoke and I felt myself not being able to look away, "But guess what Granger, it will all be finished tonight, not that you'll be sorry really will you hm?" I wondered what he was talking about before he continued," Because to you I'm just some filthy little ferret who doesn't have a care in the world, well it over now." With that he pushed me away, turned on his heel and stormed into the dungeons. Harry and Ron came racing up to me as soon as the thugs let them through.

"What did he do to you?!" Ron demanded

"Nothing...," I said rather faintly still staring at the point where he disappeared, his words played over and over in my head, "It will all finish tonight, not that you'll be sorry."

"But what does that mean?" I asked myself out loud by mistake.

"Err...what does what mean?" Harry asked obviously confused.

"Something Malfoy said to me."

"What did he say?" questioned Ron

"It will all finish tonight, not that you'll be sorry, he said that after saying he strained to make his father proud but never succeeded." I recited

"Oh, oh" muttered Harry

"What?!" Ron and I said in unison

"Picture this, your father in jail never to get out, in there for killing your mother and sister and for pressuring you to join league with Voldemort, it'd make anyone want to-"

"Commit suicide! Oh my god we have to stop this!" I interrupted in a panic

"But we don't know when, where or how he's going to do it!" said Harry

We'll just have to keep an eye on him the whole day." Ron said reasonably

I nodded thinking that it was a pretty good plan............until dinner.

"HERMIONE!" I turned and saw Harry and Ron sprinting towards me, "We lost him." they panted
