Unwritten Law

There is an unwritten law.

I know I shouldn't feel this way about her, but I can't help it. It's not aloud for a Slytherin to have feelings for a Gryffindor. This is the unwritten law. But, how much I wanted to hold her in my arms, kiss those wonderfully perfect lips and tell her how much I love her.

It hurts knowing how close I am to her, but so very far away.

We live in two different worlds; her in her perfect Gryffindor house, her loving family and her caring friends. I on the other hand am in Slytherin where we are not considered perfect, I don't have a loving family and if I have friends, it's because of the connections they have.

I watch her everyday hoping for some sign that she would accept me.

I promised myself once that if I ever fell in love, I would tell that person right way. But I know I can't do that know, not with this war waging on and nobody trusting outsiders.

She never even glances at me; it is as if I don't even exist to her.

Someday, maybe when this war is over I can tell her how I feel and she'll love me back, but until then I will just watch her, and hope that there is still a chance for me.

There is an unwritten law.

This law controls the life of many.

Yet, everyone accepts it.

No Slytherin may love a Gryffindor.

No Gryffindor may love a Slytherin.

This law will never change.

Some may try to change it.

But it will always be there.

In the back of everyone's mind.

Always.

One day I will tell my dear Ginny Weasley that I, Draco Malfoy love her more than life.

There is an unwritten law.
