Disclaimer: Unfortunately I don't own Harry Potter or anything associated with him… the wonderful and magnificent JK Rowling
A/N: this is my second attempt at a fanfic, hope y'all like it!
'This year will be the year; I'm finally going to tell him how I feel. It has to happen sooner or later' The girl thought to herself as the train pulled into Hogsmead Station
The students filed off the train and you could hear the booming voice yelling "First years over here! All first years come this way!" Hagrid was calling for the first years to come so they could cross the lake with him. The older students got into the carriages that would take them to the castle where they would learn all they needed to become productive members of the wizarding community.
This girl had been eying him since first year. She just loved the way he looked so clean cut… yet rugged at the same time. The way his platinum hair sometimes fell into his eyes when he was writing, the sexy way his cold grey eyes looked every time he grinned that sensual smirk. She absolutely loved everything about him!
'I can't possibly just go up to him and tell him how I feel… he would just laugh at me, I have an idea, I shall write secret admirer letters to him leaving hints as to who I am. I'm just absolutely brilliant!' Our mystery girl decided, one way or another she will let him know how she felt!
It was time for the first years to be sorted; Draco was sitting in his usual spot at the Slytherin table with his usual cronies. Pansy Parkinson was sitting right next to him whispering in his ear.
'It really is hard to pay attention with her doing this. Why doesn't she just wait till this boring stuff is over then talk to me like a normal person? Oh, that's right, it's because she isn't a normal person.' Draco thought to himself, a little annoyed at the fact that Pansy had been flirting like this since first year, but she hasn't done anything further; but excited about the news of getting the position of Head Boy.
Hermione was sitting over at the Gryffindor table with Ron Harry and Ginny.
She had made Head Girl. She and Ron were still dating, but Hermione couldn't get herself to love him that way; no matter how hard she had tried she still loved him like a brother. 'Why can't I bring myself to love him the way I know he loves me? He is my best friend and a wonderful boyfriend; but every time I kiss him I feel like I'm doing something wrong.'
After the sorting had finished Headmistress McGonagall made the welcome back speech. "Welcome to another year at Hogwarts, those of you that are new here, I hope you find it quite comfortable and feel welcome here. Those of you that have returned, Thank you for returning after what happened at the end of last term. We all mourn the loss of our last Headmaster Dumbledore. But enough sadness, this marks the beginning of a new year and we should look forward to it with optimism and excitement. Have a good feast and go to your dorms. Oh, another thing, since last year was so hard, I have decided to give you guys 2 weeks off to get used to the fact of Hogwarts without Dumbledore."
With that the students cheered and wooted as the food appeared on the tables in front of them.
"So Hermy, you made Head Girl, Congratulations, sorta…" said an un-enthusiastic Ron
"And what am I supposed to make of that Ronald? Why can't you give me full congratulations? Just because I have to share a dorm with Malfoy doesn't mean that you can't give me full congratulations! You don't think I can deal with him myself? Have you forgotten 3rd year?" Hermione fumed, turning almost the same shade of red as Ron's hair.
"Sorry 'Mione I just thought" but she cut him off, "Why cant you just grow up and get over it, we all know Malfoy is a git, we all know we cant stand him, why don't we just think about other stuff for once? Why can't you just look at the bright side of things? Don't you think that during these times we need a little optimism? You of all people should know this!" and with that she stormed out of the great hall and headed towards her sanctuary, the library.
'Wait a minute; I didn't say anything to her. I thought I was the only one that could make Hermione so miserable. I should go talk to her so I can eliminate any sort of competition I have.' Draco thought as he himself got up and followed her.
With everyone at the feast the library was completely deserted as Hermione got there. She headed to her favorite spot in the back and grabbed a few books on her way.
"What got your panties in a twist?" Came a voice from the other side of the book she was reading.
'Great, just bloody great! I really don't want to deal with him right now. What could he possibly want?' She thought as she lowered her book to reveal the face of a smug-looking Draco.
"What do you care about my panties?" she said in an agitated voice.
"I didn't mean it like that you sick prude mudblood! I just meant that I thought I was the only one to make you so upset."
"It's none of your business ferret!"
