Chapter 1

As I looked at my ceiling I finally came to the conclusion that it would not change or do anything even though I wanted it to. I had been in this house for three days. And even though I had gotten a good sleep last night, I wouldn't tonight. For the past four hours I was just thinking of things that a normal person would think of such as: ' why is this crazed madman after me?' I mean, yeah I know the answer to that question but still.

So after a horrible three hours I decided to take a walk through the school. As I passed peoples Houses (I knew some who lived in each one,) I wondered, ' why does Susan despise me?' and 'why does the whole world hate me?' then I remembered. It's because of my father. My father has murdered countless amounts of muggles. And then after he does it he claims he was under the controlling curse. That's bull crap and he knows it. Everyone is afraid of my father. He is a lunatic. And on top of that everyone thinks I'm going to be just like him, too. Well I got news for them. That's never going to happen. To my surprise my walk was done, no one had caught me and I was back in bed. I was calmed now and went straight to sleep.

Today is my first day in my last year at Hogwarts. And I can't believe myself… I can't stand it, but I'm in love with a girl who hates me.

The day started fine. I was in a good mood. I even worked up the courage to smile, yes smile at the girl I love. Then I looked over at who was next to her. Potter and Weasley as always. Oh well, it's not as if I care. They both have girlfriends anyway… Suddenly I had the urge to go and sit with them. I held back my urge though. If I went and sat next to them they'd make me a laughing stock. Geez. Why'd I have to go and make enemies with them? Oh, I know why, I never thought I'd fall for a muggle born. I shook my head and thought 'why me?'

*

I thought I was going crazy when I saw him smile at me. And on top of that, it wasn't a smirk or an evil smile either. All I saw was warmth, warmth that he'd NEVER directed tward me before. I mentioned this to Harry and Ron and all they did was ask me if I was okay. No, I'm not okay. I mean, geez I've only liked this guy since last year! And maybe there's a chance he likes me. What am I talking about? The guy gives me enough insults to last me a lifetime and then he suddenly acts like someone gave him a love potion or something. I scratch my head and don't pay attention all day because of him. Then when I finally get to the class I have with him, Snape pairs me up with him! It's all I can do not to look at him too much. Then when we're done he compliments me! Maybe I am going crazy.

Earlier this evening I wrote him the following:

Draco,

Would you care to explain what on Earth is going on? I'm totally in the dark. Please meet me outside the Great Hall tonight after dinner.

Hermione

I figured I'd give it to him in potions. I mean he's been acting really weird ever since the beginning of the term.

(When ever * appears people are changing narration. J)

*

Tonight all I could think of was what I'm going to do when my father gets wind of this. He will k…i…l…l… more people. Maybe even me… oh man. Why'd I have to fall for her? Why, why, WHY? !



*

Today I woke up late. Hmmm I wonder why? You know perfectly well why. I hurried into the great Hall and wondered why no one was there. Then it dawned on me: " It's Saturday!"

Then I thought, 'oh no. How am I going to give this to Draco?' I turned not feeling hungry and left.

*

On Saturday I overslept. I went to go to the Great Hall and still wasn't quite awake, wandering around, almost blind. When I got to the door I ran into someone. I fell to the ground, wondering whom I had run into. I lay still for a moment, then sat up. I looked around to see who fell down, too. I saw Hermione going toward her common room. Her hair was messy. I must of run into her. Oops. I got up to go after her and apologize, but something else caught my eye. There was a folded up piece of parchment on the floor.

*

As I was leaving, cursing at my ignorance, I ran into Draco. Literally. He fell down, leaving me time to escape. As I walked up the marble staircase, I realized that I could have given him my note. Searching my robes I searched for it. Oh no! It wasn't there! I must have dropped it when I fell down. I went back to see if it was there, and it wasn't. I cursed myself again and went back up to the tower.

*

I picked up the folded up parchment and unfolded it. I saw that it was addressed to me. I read the note more than ten times before deciding that I would do as she asked. I didn't have any work to do so I decided to go to the library. That's where she was every time I saw her, apart from classes. When I got there, I saw she wasn't there. I decided to have an early lunch.

*

I decided to eat an early lunch, seeing as I had no breakfast. And guess whom I saw there? Yep there was Draco sitting all by him-self. Just like me. I guess he wanted to compliment me more. When he saw me sit down, he got up and started walking towards me.

*

Right before I started eating I looked up. I saw Hermione sit down. She was all by herself too. Maybe she would talk now instead of tonight. I thought maybe I should give her that note back, too.

"Hey, umm you dropped this earlier." I said as I walked up.

She looked up at me and said, " Where'd you find this?"

I smiled at her." You dropped it when we ran into each other this morning."

"Did you read it?" she asked.

"Of course I did. It was addressed to me," I said.

"Your right. It is addressed to you," she sighed.

"What do you mean by this?" I asked

"You. What's wrong with you?" She said

Before I could answer, Potter and Weasley came in.

"Write me a note." She whispered. Potter looked at me and asked Hermione, "This guy bothern' you?"

"No. We were just discussing the grade we got on our projects in Snape's class."
