I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER.

I pushed open the door glancing around to find it empty, even Slughorn was gone. I sighed with relief as I saw my wand lying innocently on the desk, I stumbled over to it, reaching out to grasp it, I felt complete again. Until a hot breath tingled across my neck, I gasped as I whirled round bumping into the hard chest of Malfoy.

'Lost something? Love,' he smiled innocently dangerously close,

'Don't touch me!' I screeched.

He ignored me, and began twirling one of my curls with his finger.

'You should have just been my partner in class today' he smiled distantly

I pushed at his chest in frustration, I finally got free after a few minutes of him grabbing at my wrists, glaring at him I lifted the black rose I found in my bag, and murmured

'Incendio'

The rose burst into flames, and withered before disappearing. I could practically hear the growl rumbling from Draco before he grabbed my wrist dragging me to the astronomy tower ignoring my protests; I fell a few times as he dragged me up the steps. When we finally reached the top, I hit the top step and fell easily as he let go of me.

I pushed up from the cold stone floor with my palms.

He was looking down at me with a bitter glare, a blizzard in his grey eyes.

'Get up.' He commanded

I could tell he was angry as his fists clenched and his posture was rigid. Deciding not to poke the bear I finally stood from my wounded position.

'Who the hell do you think you are?' I snarled. Holding my wand in my right hand incase he tried anything.

I was shocked and possibly even more scared when he burst into loud unadulterated laughter. I lifted my chin and tried to look unfazed,

'Who do I think I am?' he pointed to himself, before letting out a few more chuckles.

I gazed at him not knowing how to react to his mood swings.

He stepped closer smiling harmoniously, holding his hands behind his back. I stepped back blinking away the cold wind irritating my eyes.

He leaned in just a huge blast of wind whirled around us causing my wild curls to be blown around me, and his robes to billow picturesquely. He whispered quietly into my ear a cold breath.

'I'm your worst nightmare.'


I lay in my bed that night, tossing and turning, no position found comfort. I stared up at the ceiling and thought about Hermione, her face was always so innocent and pure; I smiled at the memory of her face when we were on the astronomy tower, she gawked at me and ran down the steps being the one to leave that time.

I snickered as I reminisced the second time I found her special, like a diamond in the garbage of humanity.

-forth year-

I stared at the row of books lining the shelf before spotting 'dark arts and their counter curses' I had been looking for it for weeks after Goyle hexed me a spell I had never heard before, I decided I better study up.

I pulled the book back towards me just as a hand on the other side of the stack held the other end.

I pulled with more force, and watched as the hand clenched around the book.

'Let go!' I heard from the other side a melodic female voice

'Not likely.' I finally pulled once more with might and the hand let go in defeat, until Hermione came running around the other side.

'I had it first.' She realised it was me and her eyes widened in recognition before narrowing.

'Oh stop being a child, granger.' I snapped and walked past her.

'Besides I thought you read all the books here already' I smirked as I heard her sigh.

'I thought you couldn't read Draco?' she said in mock confusion, before seizing the large crisp book out of my limp grasp. She stalked out of the library in victory.

I almost smiled, who knew granger was so slytherin at heart?

With obsessive thoughts of Hermione I drifted off to sleep,


(Hermione POV)

I sat at breakfast, purposely avoiding the piercing gaze of none other than Malfoy.

I sliced my toast with a bit more force than needed and made a scratching noise across the plate.

'Uh, are you okay 'Mione' I looked up to see a very scared Harry and equally afraid Ron.

'What?' I said biting into my toast viciously.

'Oh nothing I just thought you were going to kill someone or something' He said sarcastically, motioning to my furious face.

'I'm just tired' I muttered, deciding to try and calm myself I reached down to read some of my battered old 'Hogwarts a history' I opened the book to find a dewy black rose resting between the pages. I shook with irritation my face turning red, and my hand slamming down on the table.

A sickening laugh echoed through the great hall.

Please review if you want chapter 10!
