Hi, how are you all? This is my new fic (only going to be short) and its called 'I'm sorry'. This is only about 3 chapters long.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO

Chapter 1 – Last minute confession

A 18 year old Hermione Granger walked around the great hall, it was to be the last time that she was to be in that hall since she and every other 7th year student would be leaving in a matter of hours to go home.

It was graduation night and Dumbledore had put on a little dance for all the students of the school to get together and bid farewell to all the 7th years. Hermione looked around the hall, she saw Harry dancing with Ginny, they looked very close to one another, judging by the look on Ron's face as he glared at his little sister Harry and Ginny were an item. Ron was dancing with Lavender Brown, who he had been seeing for the last 3 weeks.

Hermione saw that everyone was having a good time and she was glad since she helped make the dance what it was. Since she was head girl it was part of her job, but also part of the head boys job, only he didn't take his duty as seriously as she took it.

Hermione saw the head boy, Draco Malfoy trying to keep Pansy Parkinson off his lap while they were sat at the long table that was pushed to one side.

Dumbledore was dancing merrily with McGonagall and even Snape looked to be enjoying him self, but since he became the DADA teacher for this year he always looked like that. He was still the potions teacher but just had a junior apprentice to help him with the workload, some 19 year old from India, whom naturally all the girls love. Adi was his name.

She smiled remembering the time he told Lavender and Pavati that he had been happily married since the age of 15 and had 2 children. Lavender and Pavati nearly died of shock, Hermione nearly died of laughter. All the boys seemed relieved to know that he was married since it gave them all their girls back.

"Care for a dance?" came a smooth voice, Hermione looked behind her and saw Seamus stood there holding out his hand for her to take. Hermione smiled and nodded. They made their way on to the dance floor and a new song came on

"Look at me,

There has to be

Something more than what they see

Wholesome and pure,

Oh so scared and unsure"

Hermione listened to the song, which was sung by Olivia Newton-John and was from one of her favorite muggle films, Grease. Hermione saw Harry nod to Seamus as he danced with her, she had a little feeling that Seamus liked her since their third year, he had been really nice to her since then, but everyone knew that Ron liked her so Seamus never bothered to at upon his feelings for her.

It was only when Ron and Lavender got together that Seamus decided to ask Hermione out and dancing at the dance was the fist step for him.

"How are you enjoying the dance Hermione?" he asked her

"Fine thank you Seamus, and you?"

"Its really good, you did a brilliant job" he pulled her closer to him. As they danced more and numerous songs came on Hermione felt like she was having the best time of her life. She looked around and saw Harry and Ginny leaving and also saw Ron looking at them from the corner of the hall. Lavender was getting them something to drink and he was turning redder and redder as he watched his little sister and best friend leaving both not able to keep their hands of each other.

Hermione did feel sorry for him. But was amused all the same.

"Do you want a drink Hermione?" Seamus asked her she nodded and walked over to the side with him.

"Drakie, please you know you want me" she heard Pansy giggle, she had managed to get onto Draco's lap and he was trying to prize her off while acting as if she wasn't there.

"Don't call me that" he snapped at her. Hermione had to laugh at the girl, she was so desperate. Draco pushed her off his lap and jumped to hid feet before she had chance to re-position herself on him again. Draco walked passed her and left the hall huffing and puffing to him.

"Err…Seamus, I'm a little tired, I'm going to go to bed. Ill see you later on the train maybe"

"But I wanted to ask you something"

"Seamus, I really am tired"

"That's ok, just don't go home without letting me say bye to you" Seamus kissed her cheek and she nodded before running out of the hall to the head dorms. Which she shared with Draco as he was the head boy.

"Malfoy you in here?" she called as she put her purse down on the study table.

"What do you want?" he snapped at her

"I wanted to tell you something," she said as she watched his come out of his bedroom levitating his luggage behind him.

"Well got on with it then"

"I just wanted to say, that over they years we have been at each others throats I will miss you is all"

"Mudblood will miss me?"

"Yeah, I guess what I am trying to say is that I like you"

"Don't make me laugh," he said cracking a short smile

"I more than like you, Draco I think I love you"

"Stupid little bitch" he smirked "And you think I love you too"

"No, I just wanted to tell you that I forgive you and all. You don't know me too well do you?"

"Liked I would want to"

"If you did you would know that I am the type of person who speaks her mind, I don't believe in letting secrets be buried in the past. I just had to tell you that I love you and don't worry I didn't expect you to say it back or even believe me, I just had to tell you since this may well be the last time I shall see you…forever"

"Hmmm"

"I love you Draco and just wanted you to know" she walked up to her room but Draco wasn't finished

"Your stupid you know that mudblood. You say you love me and expect me to ok with it. Hermione Mudblood Granger tells me she loves me and I'm expected to be fine with the idea? I wouldn't love you if you were the last person in this world, your filth to me, nothing more than a waste of space."

"We all have opinions"

"And I haven't done telling you mine of you. You have been walking through these halls for the past 7 years thinking your all high and mighty, if Dumbledore ever went you would think you would be in there for his job. You have the precious boy-who-only-lives-to-piss-me-off as your best friend and you think that gives you the right to come and go and do as you please. I think not. Listen when I tell you this Granger, Voldermort and my father may be gone, you may have beaten me at ever test and probably at NEWT's too, but you are not higher than me, you are filled will common dirty blood and that is all" Hermione looked up from the floor, her eyes were filled with tears and the longer she was in the same room as him the more she wanted to cry. And she did when Draco turned away from her and spat in front of her the tears rolled down her cheeks and wouldn't stop.

She expected him to take it badly, but this was over the top, she never thought he would be so cruel. But it was Draco Malfoy after all.

Hermione ran from where they were all the way to her room where she slammed the door shut. Draco couldn't believe, he was still in shock having her tell him she loved him was a shock. Something he certainly wouldn't be repeating to anyone, anyone at all.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hermione sat on the train 2 hours later, it was 11pm and the long journey was just beginning for them, it would be about 9am when they arrived back at King's cross station and she couldn't wait until they were back home.

She loved Hogwarts but today had been the worst and best days of her life, she was glad to have confessed all to Draco, but not expected his reaction and it saddened her.

"Hey Hermione, can we talk?" Seamus asked popping his head round the door of the compartment where she sat alone

"Sure"

"Have you been crying?" he asked as he sat next to her. Hermione cleared her throat

"No"

"Ok, I just came to ask if well…you maybe wanted to meet after we gat back home. Ireland isn't too much of a journey way from Oxford not if I can get my apparating license and come to see you"

"That's sweet Seamus, but I don't think so"

"Why? Did I do something wrong?"

"No, your lovely and all, but I'm not ready for a relationship at this moment."

"I understand. I just wanted to give it ago, never know you could have said yes, know what I mean?"

"I truly understand what you mean"

"I'll be seeing you around then. Bye"

"Bye" Seamus left and Hermione turned her gaze out of the window. She knew exactly what Seamus was talking about; she was an expert in the subject.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
