Draco's P.O.V.

I was just sitting there staring at the letter I had recived almost a week ago, as every one around me was packing for the holidays.

Every one in my house was leaving, every one but me. As I sit here I read it again…

Dear Draco,

Your Mother and I have been invited to spend the holidays with the minister of magic. However this means you are to spend the holidays at school.

Hope all is well,
Luscius Malfoy

Well at least he wrote this time. When I was a first year I just showed up at home to no one but a house elf, I would rather be here than do that again.

I could have asked some one if I could spend the holidays with them, but then I would have to tell them that my parents would rather spend time with the minister then their only son.

"Hey Draco so why is it that you are staying here for the holidays?" Crabbe asked trying to fit the rest of his "Emergence snack Stash" in to his trunk.

"How many times do I have to tell you" I snapped at him "I don't want to be with my parents they always make such a fuss when I come home I just don't want to deal with it"

He just shrugged and went back to his packing. In all honesty my parents never made any kind of fuse over me when I was home.

If it was up to them I would be here year round. It doesn't matter this is what I have to live with and it is not going to change any time soon.

The next morning…

By the time I woke up every one had already left… I'm not complaining.

Well I might as well go down to breakfast to see who decided to stay here.

So I put on o pair of jeans and a green t-shirt.

When I arrived in the great hall there was only one table, and I was the first to arrive. I sat on the end closest to the door hoping some one, any one would come soon! So I just sat there siping some orange juice (I wasn't realy hungry just bored really) about 5 minutes later a boy and two girls I did not recognize walked, straight past me and sat on the other side of the table.

I just sat there sipping my juice. I tried to listen to the conversation the others where having but I soon lost interest.

So I did what I always did when I was bored of this world I thought about her. The way she bitts her bottom lip when she reads a book, or how she can write 3 times faster than any one I know, and her hand writing is still so beautiful and elegant.

I feel bad that I am always so mean to her and call he a mudblood. It is just how I was raised and what people expect of me. I really don't care about who her parents are, I just know I like her a lot. She is going out with that wheasly guy any way. just the thought of her with him it just makes me so mad, I don't even have any right to be angry but I am.

Then my thought where distracted by some one entering the great hall when I looked up I was shocked to see her my 'personal ray of sun shine' coming towards the table.

With out even thinking I looked up at her an said "Hey Granger come here."

She just looked at me shocked for a second then came and sat on the opposite side of the table facing me.

Ok Draco it's now or never just be nice you can do this…deep breath.

"I know we aren't friends or any thing but all the other Slytherins went home for the holidays... and I know all your friends are gone to. So would you mind if we...I don't know pretend we are friends or some thing until they get back"

I asked silently praying she say yes.

She just stared at me blankly for a second then answered "Yes…" awkward silence "so what do you like to do for fun?" she asked

"I like to write" I don't know why I just told her that, I have never told any one that before but it is what I like to do.

She seemed interested in this.

"What do you write about?"

I decided I would try to stick to honesty here

"Mostly my family, and what it was like growing up" she stared at me for a second the grabed an apple and took a bitte out of it.

then she looked back at me with those big beautiful eyes.

"It sounds interesting. I cant imagine what it was like growing up in the wizard world"

I was shocked it doesn't seem so interesting to me it is just what it is.

I was at a loss for words so Is imply said "Really"

She seemed to have to stop her self from laughing.

"Ya, would you tell me about it, about what it was like for you growing up?"

Right then I knew what I needed to to do and I could not help but smile abut it.

So I simply said "follow me".

She had this look of confushion on her face but non the less she got up went around the table and followed me out of the great hall.

A/N: Ok so what did you think? Please R&R
