A/N: Hey. I'm sorry it's taken me a while to post these chapters, but I've been in camp for the past 2 weeks, and I haven't really felt like writing much. ._. But I hopefully will be writing more soon, but I really can't promise anything. This is one of my least favorite stories I've written, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to make it how I wanted to make it… So I hope someone likes this story. If at least one person likes the story, my job is done, right? Now I've run out of pre-written material. :/ So it might be a few more weeks before I get another chapter out, but I might surprise myself. Also, my song lyrics are a bit out of order in this chapter, mainly because I had had it so the lyrics I had at top were actually the divider for the bottom of the story, which is why it's out of order.

~~So if you want to love me~~
~~then darling don't refrain~~
~~Or I'll just end up walking~~
~~In the cold November rain~~

She lied.

I didn't see her the next day. Or the day after that. By the third day she didn't show up in the Room, I was pissed, again. How dare she? She snogs me, makes me start falling for her, and then ignores me, again. Stupid little Mudblood…

Getting up off the couch, I look over at the clock on wall. The time reads 9:30, almost an hour after we usually met. I scowled as I left the room, and started walking down the staircases, thinking of all the ways I would hurt Granger next time we were alone for making me feel for her little Mudblood self. I also felt disgusted in myself, knowing I willingly touched a filthy Mudblood.

All the thoughts I had pushed away for the past two to three weeks were now at the front of my mind, making me angrier and angrier. I didn't even know who I was mad at, actually. I couldn't tell if I was mad at her for making me feel for her, or at myself, for actually letting myself fall for her.

All these thoughts filled my mind, and I almost didn't realize I was at the bottom of the staircases, when I saw a mass of brown hair fly past me, running outside into the night. I was stunned for a second, before I followed her, knowing instantly who it was. This would be a good way to get my revenge on her.

I shivered lightly as the cold air attacked my face when I stood in the entrance. I looked outside, and noticed it was raining. Bloody perfect. One thing I hated about Scotland, the weather never could make up it's mind if it wanted to be snowing, or raining.

I saw a figure in the rain ran down to the lake, and collapse by the tree. Eyeing the rain, I decide what the hell, and walked out into the rain. I was shivering in a minute, as I walked silently to the tree. As I got closer, I saw her sitting there, her head on her knees, and her body shaking from what I guessed was sobs. I sneered as I stood over her.

"Crying over the Weasel, Granger?" I shouted over the roar of rain. In the time it took me to walk out here, it went from a light rain fall, to pouring buckets. Perfect.

She looked up, shocked that someone else was out here. I saw her lips move, but I couldn't hear what she said.

"What was that Granger?" I asked, as I knelt down to hear her better.

"I said f*ck off Malfoy." She hissed at me. "It's none of your concern." I raised my eyebrows at her, trying hard not to take my wand out and hex her there and then. F*cking little b*tch.

"So it is about the Weasel." I said, close enough to her so she could hear me clearly. "What, did you see him shagging Brown? Did you realize no man would ever want you?" I sneered, ignoring the fact that there was a man who wanted her badly. Ignoring the fact that that man was me.

"Leave me alone Malfoy." I heard her say in a dangerous voice. I should have stopped right there, but my anger at her drowned out my trait of self-preservation.

"So that's it huh? Found out that you're so unattractive, not even Weasley would want you. The only way a man could ever bare to snog you is with his eyes closed, believe me!"

Suddenly my face was in great pain, and there was an angry witch standing over me as I lay on the ground, clutching my nose. Should have seen this one coming.

"Don't you dare Malfoy, you little ferret. You, you are the one who snogged me in the first place! It was you who wanted to see if it was just a "fluke," and it was you who suggested meeting in the Room of Requirement! So don't you dare say that no one would want me, when you obviously do!" she screamed at me.

I scowl at her, trying to think of how to respond, but finding nothing. I decide to change the subject.

"You haven't gone to the Room in the past three days. What, is the little Mudblood too good for me now?" I spit out, getting to my feet.

"Why do you even care Malfoy? I thought no man would ever want to be with me? So why would you care if I stopped our little rendezvous?"

"No one just stops meeting with me Granger. Not without my say-so." I say menacingly, taking a step towards her. She takes a step back. I smirk, ignoring the pain in my nose. I've had worse pains before.

"Well I did Malfoy. It was stupid, and would lead nowhere. We both know it. I honestly don't know why I kept coming back; I'm not the type of person who usually does that. I'm an all or nothing type person Malfoy." During her little speech, I kept walking towards her, and she kept taking a step back. Now, she was flat against the tree, and I trapped her there, my hands on either side of her head. Despite the rain, which was still pouring around us, I could clearly see her, her hair wet, and clinging to her face. I pushed myself up close to her, so we were nose to nose. I wanted her to see the fury in my eyes. I was furious that she had just been leading me on. That was my job, not hers.

"I'll tell you why you kept coming back b*tch. It was because you knew no one else wanted you. You knew this was the only way you'd ever be touched, the only way you'd ever be able to be close to a man." I whispered, loud enough so she could hear me. "You should consider yourself honored that I would even touch you, let alone snog you."

"Why do you even care that I ended it Malfoy? You know we wouldn't work, and would have had to end it eventually anyway. Sooner is better, right? So why do you care?" She says in a whisper, completely ignoring what I had just said.

"Maybe I didn't want it to end." I whisper, instantly regretting it. I might as well just have said I loved her then and there! Not that I do, I mean…

"Well it had to end sometime Malfoy. And you know as well as I do that it's better it ends now before things… get complicated." She whispers.

I look into her eyes, and I see them shinning. I sigh, and feel my anger wash out of me as I stare into her big brown eyes.

"I know Granger. I know." I say in defeat. I suddenly remember the last time I said those words, how it was right before our first kiss. I close my eyes, and hang my head slightly. It was hard to believe that was only two weeks ago. I feel her raise her hand, and gently caresses my cheek, just like she did that day. I open my eyes, and look into hers, seeing sadness, and an unknown emotion in them. I lean forward, and catch her lips with mine in a soft, gentle kiss.

I pull back, and lean my forehead against hers.

"W-we could try it though... Try this, us. I-if that's what you want." I whisper. I'm not entirely sure why we were whispering, but I think it was because it felt like if we raised our voices any louder, this would all go away. And I know I didn't want that.

"But as I said, it wouldn't work. We're on opposite sides of this war that's coming Draco. Even if we tried for anything more, we'd be forced apart somehow. I-it's best to just end it now." She whispers, her eyes still shinning. I felt my heart spasm when she said my name. I liked it.

"Who cares what's best? We'll never know unless we try, right? As long as we know we might not work, and we might be forced apart, it should be fine, right?" I whispered as I raised a hand to brush the hair that was plastered to her face behind her ear. I saw her close her eyes.

"What if when we're forced apart, we've grown too close for that to be possible?"

I think about that for a few minutes, before sighing.

"Can we just try?"

If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowing that you were mine
All mine

I watch her open her eyes.

"Why do you want this so much? I thought you hated me."

"I thought I did too… but now I'm not so sure... I don't know. Everything is f*cking complicated." I whisper, and run a hand through my hair. I'm starting to shiver, from being in the rain for so long.

"I know everything is complicated Draco, do you think I would feel anything other than hatred towards you if it wasn't?" I look at her for a few moments, before sighing.

"I guess not." After a few more seconds, I raise my hand, gently cup her cheek, and kiss her again. I hear her sigh into the kiss, as I deepen it. After a few minutes of snogging, I pull back.

"So? What do you think? Should we try?" I ask, apprehensive on her answer.

She hesitates for a few seconds, seconds in which I feel like my heart has stopped, before she nods slowly.

"Okay. We'll try." I grin, and give her a chaste kiss on the lips, before pulling back, and holding out my hand to her.

"We should probably go in now though… It's too cold for us to be outside now."

She looks at my hand with apprehension, but nods, so we started walking back to the castle, hand in hand since it was late enough that almost no one would be up to see us anyway. The only sound that can be heard as we walked through the castle is the sound of our footsteps.

We made it to the staircase, where we had to part.

"I'll see you tomorrow?" I ask hopefully.

She smiles. "See you tomorrow." She repeats, as she starts climbing the stairs. I grin, as I start walking down to the dungeons. It's official. I've fallen for the witch.
