Just the Girl by Click Five
She's cold and she's cruel
But she knows what she's doin'
She pushed me in the pool
At our last school reunion
Draco Malfoy saw her around her Gryffindor friends. In other words, Potter, Weasley, the Weasley girl, the Weasley twins, Longbottom, Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas, and many other people. He didn't know why, but ever since their graduation, he has been thinking about her a lot lately…
…and what irks him most is that he doesn't like to think… especially if it means thinking about her.
He caught her eye and he his heart halted in surprise. She was smiling… but why? Then with a sinking feeling in his stomach, she started laughing along with her friends. They were making fun of him. A small frown was set on his face.
She
laughs at my dreams
But I dream about her laughter
Strange as
it seems
She's the one I'm after
It frustrated him so much, because he just didn't know why. Every girl he passes by seems to be in love with him already… but Hermione Granger… she has never looked at him that way like other girls had. The other girls would look at him with hope in their eyes and some would start to giggle around their friends. Sometimes, Blaise Zabini would tease him on how some poor Hufflepuff girl was scribbling Mrs. Malfoy all over her notes. Hell, why couldn't she be that way? I mean… it would be so much easier to get her and call her his.
Maybe… that's why he wanted her so much… he couldn't have her.
Cause
she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help
myself
I don't want anyone else
I mean… Draco could have everything that he wanted. Fame, money, a huge mansion (mind you, he already has all those stuff)… But just because you have everything doesn't mean that you have everything. He sighed.
She's
a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for
more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for
Maybe… he just wasn't worthy enough for her attention. He looked at her again and saw her smiling at her friends. He gulped. Why couldn't she look at him in that way?
…Oh yeah, maybe because he spent his whole school years making fun of her funny (now somewhat adorable) looks, her heritage, her smartness (he still wasn't used to having everything but her and the top grades; being second in their year), her close relationship between her friends, and many other things.
She
can't keep a secret
For more than an hour
She runs on 100 proof
attitude power
Oh, but the number one thing that he hates about her, is her attitude. She acts as if she's the teacher's pet… which she is, but that's not the point. Every time I see her, her chin is up, her shoulders set back, she smiles, and she walks confidently every where she goes. The way she acts, she acts as if she doesn't care about her heritage! I mean… I'm pureblood… but you don't see me walk around like that.
…That's it. She's high and mighty and proud, while I'm just a sad, lonely, stupid… ferret. And that's what I'll always be for the rest of my life… well, in her opinion anyway.
And
the more she ignores me
The more I adore her
What can I do?
I'd
do anything for her
But I can't stand it anymore. The more she resists me, the harder I have to work. I can change… but it wouldn't be easy.
What exactly does she see in Krum and Weasley?
Maybe they appreciate her more… unlike you who just thinks of her as a prize or something… Draco's conscience said.
No! I don't think of her that way… do I? He thought.
Cause
she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help
myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too
much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl
I'm lookin' for
He looked at her again, and to his surprise, he saw her looking back at him. She wasn't smiling or laughing at him… for some odd reason. He glared at her, but she didn't do anything; confusion filled his head. Why was she acting that way? She broke the connection and looked down. To his amusement and pleasure, he saw her cheeks flush pink. I saw her turn and talk to Weasley, excusing herself and saying that she'd be right back, stood up.
The
way she sees it's me
On her caller ID
She won't pick up the
phone
She'd rather be alone
But I can't give up just yet
As a cue, I excused myself, to sound proper, even if it meant talking to the bush ridiculously shaped into a lion. He felt like rolling his eyes at a time like this. Seriously, the Potters are so original.
Hermione went through the door to the kitchen. Hesitating, he took a few steps back. He didn't want anyone else to think that he was following her. He looked back. They were having a contest on who could drink the most butter beer. And from the looks of it, Longbottom was winning because he had twice as many cups as some Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff; he couldn't remember.
Back to his quest, he went into the kitchen worried, because maybe he wasted too much time watching Longbottom choke. Thankfully he didn't, since Hermione went out the front door. He followed her and went outside.
When he closed the door, he turned around and saw her staring at me, slightly surprised.
"Malfoy."
"Granger."
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Well… I got my invitation for our reunion…"
"That's not what I meant," she snapped, cutting him off.
"To take a breath of fresh air," he answered lamely.
"Outside, Malfoy? We were just outside in the backyard," she answered, trying to take his guard down.
"Watching me weren't you, Granger?" he smirked at the fact that she couldn't meet his eyes and that her cheeks, which were turning adorably pink.
Then there was a long awkward silence after that. He looked over her figure, and his stomach flipped. For someone who was in hiding a lot certainly did have her secrets. She was wearing a plain brown tank top, and some sort of Muggle jeans called denim. Her hair was still bushy, but not as much. His fingers itched to run his hand through her hair. Her eyes became brighter over the years, making them seem even more irresistible and stand out.
When she finally looked at him, he automatically looked at the ground this time. He was trying, with all of his might, not to blush.
"Draco…" he looked up so fast, that he might've cracked his neck. It was the first time that she said his name, and it sounded very foreign to him. At first, he had the sudden temptation to look around to see who Draco was, but then he came back to reality that she was talking to him.
Cause
every word she's ever said
Is still ringin' in my head
Still
ringin' in my head
Tears formed in her eyes. He gulped. What'd he do?
A tear slowly went down her face.
"I hate you."
He felt as if he couldn't breathe, he couldn't think, he couldn't do anything, except look at her. It wasn't the first time that she has said that she hated him, but this time… when she said it… it…
Hurt.
Bad.
She's cold and she's cruel
He felt as if he wanted to cry himself. But when he looked into her eyes, he could sense the determination. But the determination to do what exactly? Break me? She already has…
But she knows what she's doin'
Knows
just what to say
So my whole day is ruined
"I hate you because you have tortured me for seven years. Seven years, Draco. I hate you because you are pureblood. I hate you because you act as if you own the place. I hate you because you threatened me before. I hate you because…" she paused.
"Because…" she sighed. He waited patiently, staring at her.
"Because you… you have this sort of… because you… me…"
"You're blabbing, Gra… Hermione." She looked up at him. He stepped up to her, so that they were only a foot away from each other. Another silent tear went down her face. He lifted his hand and brushed away the tear with his thumb. She closed her eyes and sighed. Her lower lip was trembling and swollen.
Coming back to her senses, she stepped back, trying to keep distance between them.
"See! That's why I hate you! Because… because… you take full advantage on me! I can't think every time you look at me. I couldn't think when you touched me! I hate you because I feel… I feel…" she waved her hands crazily, trying to find out what to say.
"You feel…?" He stepped towards her. She looked surprised that he was acting so calmly in a situation like this. There was only little space between them left.
"This." She lifted her face up to his and kissed him.
She kissed him.
Hermione Granger kissed Draco Malfoy.
He felt like jumping up and down in joy, rejoicing. He felt like he could sing and dance and never be tired. But he couldn't do that since he was kissing the one girl he wanted to kiss for so long. So instead, he smiled in the kiss.
The kiss was slow and sweet, mixed with the saltiness of Hermione's tears, which were still silently flowing down. He lifted his hand and brushed away her tears, while his other hand wrapped itself securely around her waist, pulling them closer. Her hands were on his shoulders. He soon found out that she was smiling too, which gave him a better reason to jump for joy.
Cause
she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help
myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too
much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
She pulled back. She wasn't crying anymore, but her eyes and nose were red and puffy. She still looked pretty even in her current state. Hermione smiled sadly and let go of him, and she kissed him on the lips one more time, before turning and running away from him.
He just stood there dumbfounded. She just kissed him and she just left? Like that? Oh how unfair it was for him. He may never see her again.
Oh,
I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin'
for
Just the girl I'm lookin' for
He smirked. So the chase was on. I'm not over with you yet, Hermione.
He apparated to the Manor and almost ran to his room in excitement. He took out a piece of parchment, a quill, and ink. He put the tip of the quill to his chin, thinking. He smirked and started to write.
Dear Granger,
Don't worry, I hate you too.
I'm lookin' for
I'm lookin'
for
I'm lookin' for
Just the girl I'm lookin' for
