Chapter 2
Whole New Light
Disclaimer: Although I wish that I owned Harry or Ron or Draco, I do not own anything.
Draco couldn't help but stare over at the Gryffindor table as Hermione chatted with her friends. He wondered why he had never seen her this way before? It was like he was seeing her in a totally different light.
'What is it that I find so amazing about her?' Draco pondered to himself as he observed her. His silver eyes scanned every part of her body until he felt a soft tap on his shoulder.
"What are you staring at, Draco darling?" Pansy asked with a large smile.
Draco shuddered at the thought of being her darling.
"Nothing that would concern you." He spat as he returned to watching Hermione.
"Come on, Draco, you can tell me anything." Pansy said.
"Did you not hear me the first time? I said no!" Draco growled.
"Fine Draco, be that way." Pansy wined, crossing her arms and turning her back to him.
'Annoying Twit.' Draco thought to himself.
Draco's attention returned to the Gryffindor table where he began to list off the many things about Hermione that he found some what attractive.
'What happened to her hair? Why haven't I noticed that before? Well, she has very large eyes. Would you really consider that a good thing...or an odd thing? Definitely not odd. One bad thing is that she hates my guts. I guess we are even on that one since she really hasn't been one of my closest friends. I guess I could try to be a little nicer to her. Maybe not too nice, though. I really wouldn't want to ruin my reputation by being seen with a Mudblood.'
Draco ran his hand through his hair and returned to his pile of essays that were spread across the table.
'I'll think of some way to get close to her.' Draco thought, taking one last look at Hermione.
(A/N: There is supposed to be a line here but for some reason, it won't let me put a line. Sorry about that, you may continue)
"See Harry, I was right. Mione doesn't fancy him (A/N: Ron was talking about a boy in the Gryffindor house). She fancy's my brothers, Fred and George." Ron said to Harry.
"No I do not, Ronald Weasley! I-I just said that they were interesting." Hermione replied, her face beginning to blush.
"Yeah, say whatever you want, Mione. We've read your diary." Ron accidentally blurted out.
Hermione's eyes grew wide with fury.
"By accident, I swear! W-We would never invade your privacy like that!" Ron pleaded, his hands guarding his face.
Harry laughed. "Say whatever you want, Ron. She's still going to get you."
Ron slowly lowered his hands, making sure if Hermione was ready to attack, and returned to his plate of pancakes.
Hermione sighed and pushed the plate of pancakes to the middle of the table.
'Read my diary, eh? Oh, you'll get it, Ronald Weasley. I'll get you when you least expect it." Hermione thought, a grin spread across her face.
A sudden shock of fear spread through Hermione as she remembered what she had written in her diary the night before.
'No, no they didn't read it. I'm sure they didn't get that far...or maybe they did?'
Hermione began to panic.
'Who knows what they would do if they learned of my secret? I know what they would do, they would befriend me. No, no one is ever to know of it. I've got to get rid of that page.'
With that, Hermione got up from the table and hurried out of the Great Hall to the Gryffindor common room.
A/N: Hello there! Yep, I finally got some time to write. Sorry that this chapter wasn't that long, I tried my best. I've had a lot on my mind lately. Once again, cookies for everyone that reviews! Thanks to everyone that reviewed on the last chapter! I LOVED them! Also, I am looking for someone to be my beta. If you are interested, please email me (my email address is on my lookup). Thanks a ton and don't forget to review!
P.S. Just in case you're wondering about the page that Hermione didn't want anyone to see, you'll find out in the next chapter.
Love,
Jess
