Draco POV

I couldn't believe it, when Hermione first told me that she liked me more then a friend, I was so happy, but also so confused. How could she, the Gryffindor princess and one of the three Golden Trio, so how could she even think of me as anything other then a friend. I was surprised when she started becoming friends with me, and even more surprised when she comforted me and wanted to know more about me. When he seen the way she reacted, he was sick in the stomach, not with her but with himself. He couldn't believe that the girl of his dreams was confessing that she actually felt something towards him, and he was to chicken to say anything back. He tried talking to her after that, but she kept avoiding him at all costs, even when they were in the common rooms together, she would be locked in her room until he went to bed, and gone before he even woke up the next day. He promised himself that he would make her understand that he wanted to be with her, but she was making it harder and harder, and having Pansy around her all the time wasn't help either. Pansy knew Draco better then anyone, so she knew what he was thinking and it was her plan to stop him from hurting her anymore. In potions, he wanted to get there first so he could sit next to her, but Nott caught up with him in the hall way and delayed him.

"What do you want Nott?" Draco asked quickly, trying to move a long the conversation so he can get to class as soon as possible.

"I was wondering if you did the essay for charms, I forgot and was wondering if I could look over yous?" Theo replied, smirking at him.

"What are you talking about? There was no essay for charms you idiot, now please, let me get to class before you infect me with your stupidity." Draco growled at him before stalking off towards the dungeons.

Much to his displeasure, Hermione and Pansy were already at the front of the class, and because of Nott's interruption in his day, most of the seats were already taken up. He quickly took up the spot and set his eyes on Hermione willing her to turn around and look at him. Right before the bell rang, Nott ran in a took the last spot next to Draco. The lesson started right away and Hermione didn't turn around one time. After the instructions were told, they all started getting the ingredients and got to work with their partners. Pansy looked over towards Draco and Nott, and gave a little smile before turning back around to help cut the herbs for the potion. Nott was talking to Draco but he tuned him out until he heard him say something about being interested in Hermione. Draco couldn't help himself but to pry a little and find out what a squid like he could be doing interested in someone as beautiful and intelligent as Hermione.

"How long have been interested in Granger?" Draco practically growled at him.

Nott smirked at him and Malfoy could barley hide the look of disgust that would give away his true emotions towards him.

"Since 3rd year actually, but told myself that could never happen, now I have hope that it actually could." Nott replied.

Draco didn't want to hear anything more, but something in him had to know anything he could about what was happening right behind his back,

"why would you think that you have a chance with her now?"Draco asked.

"There's been some gossip around the great hall that she has the hots for me, and today I'm asking her out." Nott said proudly.

Thankfully Draco didn't have to stick around any long to hear his friend gush over the girl who he was possibly in love with, not that he would ever say that out loud. He ran out of the classroom as quick as he could and made his way to Transfiguration so he could bury himself in the work Mcgonagall was sure to give them.

Later that night Draco was sitting by himself at the Slytherin table in the Great Hall getting ready to eat his dinner when he out of the corner of his eye saw that Nott and Hermione walked in together holding hands and laughing. He was even more furious and embarrassed with himself that he was not man enough to tell her his feelings. He overheard Pansy talking to her boyfriend and his best friend Blaise, saying how she was looking all over for Hermione, and couldn t find her anywhere all afternoon. Draco was sick to his stomach, and left the hall without another word to anyone.

Draco went to the kitchens to get a bottle of fire whiskey and went off to the room of requierment before drinking himself into a stupor. Before he knew it, it was well after midnight and he decided that it was time to make his way back up to the common room. Hopefully Hermione would be asleep by the time he made his way up there, but with his luck she would still be up. He didn't think that he could face her while being drunk off his ass, so he made his way back down to the kitchens to get some food before going back up. While on the stairs, he ran into Daphne Greengrass, they started walking together and before he knew it they were back in the common room making out. Draco wasn't thinking straight and all he could think about was how mad he was at Hermione for being with Nott when he was the one in love with her.

The next morning after Daphne left, Draco was outside eating a bowl of cereal when Hermione walked into the head dorm room looking disheveled. Draco's first thought was that she was out with Nott all night, and he couldn't stop himself from saying something to her.

"Where were you coming from this morning, with Nott all night I assume?" He spat at her.

"No, actually" she spat back, "I was here all morning, listening to you and your whore"!

Draco was to stunned to speak, he watched her run out of the room and wanted to go after her but couldn't bring himself to do it. A minute later Pansy walked in and started to chew him out about what happened.

"Draco Lucius Malfoy, how dare you make Hermione feel like complete shit. All she wants to do is be with you and you could careless couldn't you?" She spat at him, "If you didn't want to be with her it's one thing, but you don't have to rub it in her face all of the damn time!"

"Pansy you don't know what you're talking about, of course I want to be with her! But shes with Nott and there is nothing I can do to change her mind. She already thinks I'm an asshole, and maybe she should just keep thinking that, that way no one can get hurt." Draco said.

"Except, that she is already hurt Draco, maybe you've forgotten that she has feelings considering that way that you've been treating her lately. Stop being an arsehole and tell her how you feel!" Pansy shot back before leaving without letting him say another word.

Draco tried to get closes to Hermione, but after that night she never came near him. The only time they had class together was potions and Nott was always with her in the class. Pansy took to sitting next to him and but didn't talk to him at all. Ever since the night that they were together, Daphne was always trying to be around Draco and usually succeed. Hogsmeade was coming up, and Daphne kept hinting that she wanted Draco to ask her to go with him, but he was putting it off as long as he could. Through the gossip in the halls, he found out that Hermione and Nott would be going on a double date with Pansy and Blaise. Draco, being furious that Hermione was obviously falling in love with Nott, asked Daphne to go with him, and planned to show her off whenever they were around Hermione.

Draco woke up later then he wanted to on Saturday, and quickly got dressed so that he could make it down to the great hall in time to catch the carriages to get down to Hogsmeade. He looked around but couldn't see anyone, and figured Daphne already went down there when she got sick of waiting for him. He got in a carriage with some other Slytherin's and started going over his plan in his head to make Hermione jealous.

After walking around for almost an hour without seeing them, Daphne and Draco decided to go into the three broomsticks, she was hungry and he wanted a butter beer. To his surprise, the group that he was searching for was sitting in the corner booth. He took Daphne's hand and walked over to the closest table to them, and began talking into her ear and making her giggle uncontrollably. Pansy gave him an evil eye, but Hermione just smiled sweetly at him, which confused him to no end. He couldn't understand her and he didn't know how to even begin, but he decided that instead of making her jealous, he was going to become her friend again, even if it kills him.
