I'd just like to say one thing before you begin reading. If you're expecting this to be some long story that's about 20 chapters or something longer than that, it's not unfortunately. But then again, it's not a one shot. So please read and tell me what you think about it. Thanks!

Draco Malfoy was sitting in the library all by himself reading a book on curses. He thought that maybe they would be useful one day for something or the other. As he was reading, agirl's laugh made him look up from where he was.
He stared angrily over to a corner of the library where Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood, and Neville Longbottom were sitting. It angered himto see people having fun like that. Ever since his father had been put in Azkaban, Crabbe and Goyle were always trying to give him sympathy but he knew that it was fake. They only did it because they thought that it was required of them to do so.
There was a shout of "Harry" and a big smack. Draco looked back up to see Harry grinning madly at Ginny who was scowling at him with a book in her hand. On his arm was a big red welt mark. Draco could not do anything except think in his mind that Potter should be punished even more than that. The other four with the exception of Luna were howling with laughter and in the process, wereattracting the attention of everyone in the library. Then he looked at Hermione who was whispering something to Ginny while looking at Ron whose ears were turning bright red. He did not think that it was fair that a mudblood like Hermione Granger had more friends than him andwas able to feelmore happiness than he'd ever felt in his entire life.
Draco smirked as Madam Ponce, the librarian, came up to them and ordered them to leave the library for causing such a ruckus. After the six of them left, Draco saw that it was getting late and that he should also be going. As he exited the library, he walked by the six of them. He noticed that Ron was glaring at him and that Neville was shaking with fear while Harry wasn't even paying attention to him. He also noticed that as he walked by, Hermione was looking at him oddly.
"Don't you think that's odd?" asked Hermione.
"What?" asked Ron.
"Malfoy walked by us without even saying anything. I find that odd."
"Who cares?" asked Harry. "He didn't say anything to us so why bother with him?" Draco winced as he heard this comment escape from his rival's mouth. Is that all he was to Potter, another random person to be ignored? Draco stormed off to his common room, put away the books that he had and went outside to get some air.
Unknown to Draco, Hermione saw him turn back to look at them before he was out of sight. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She knew that there was probably something wrong. Malfoy was not the person who when hearing a comment like that, would shrug it off. So when Harry, Ron, Ginny, Neville, and Luna were getting ready to goback to the Gryffindor common room and in Luna's case, theRavenclaw common room, Hermione told them that she'd be up in a minute. After the five of them were gone, she looked to see where Draco had gone.
Please review! Thanks:)
