Summary: You just Know some things, like that you are a competent enough cook to micro-wave a lemon meringue pie & you always will be. Things don't always stay the same, like in the case of exploding pies.

Rating: As of now this is as mild as you will ever see me write so a U or fiction rated: K. This may go up in later chapters but you will get fair warning.

Disclaimer: Alas, 'tis just not mine! J.K.R Bloomsbury Books and the like retain all rights and no money is being made from this fiction.

Author: Mimi De La Dreama

Authors notes: This story is my redemption. I wrote a totally appalling ficlet & this is my way of redeeming myself. I don't know how long it will be or take me to write nor do I know if it will be a romance as of yet. So far I have two chapters written and up-loaded and one in the works . I will post the next chapter and from there I will go on your impute. I hope you enjoy this chapter and would love to hear what you think so please review!

Like exploding pie.

I hate that.

There are some things in life you just know. Its not that you know them like you know you're two times table & have known them for ages, therefor you just know them. No, to know something is very different.

The quality of knowledge that I am talking about is where you know it because it is a part of you, one of the factors that defines you as a being. For me this 'innate' knowledge takes the form of how I react, for example:

'When presented with a happy & hopeful proposition I spend a good few days making sure its not a 'trap', then enter into it with my guard up and eyes open.'

Some of the things Draco Malfoy knew where similar to this. Things such as;

I will make a better name for Pureblood families.' & ' It's in my nature to fight for happiness'.

But as with everyone's, Draco's 'innate' knowledge had a seemingly trivial side & somewhere along the lines managed to form a thorough opinion on a certain Raven-haired teen. Why even a small part of Draco's subconscious would spend any time thinking about Harry Potter is beside the point. It had been doing just that & would continue to do so if it so wished, thank you very much. So after much deliberation this section of subconscious had started to ad these particles of 'innate' knowledge to the database.

These particles come together in a manner so almost akin to a belief system. A simple way of putting it would be:

' I dislike the way Harry behaves towards me. I also dislike the way I behave towards him. I dislike that way Harry behaves towards my 'friends' and them towards him. I dislike the way Harry behaves towards the different Houses, muggles & Mudbloods & those who fight to protect them and those who fight to persecute them.

I dislike the way other people expect Harry and me to hate each other. I hate that we live up to these expectations I dislike the way Harry doesn't show his true beliefs/ feelings & no one else sees this.

I hate that I know him better that I know any one & yet I don't even know him. I hate that I won't go against all this & extend the hand of friendship, something I know would be beneficial.

I hate that I hate him. I hate that I always will. I hate that he knows all of this & won't change either.

I hate us, I hate him & always will.

Most of all, I hate that.
