Chapter 1 

Draco's P.O.V. 

Hello! My name is Malfoy. Draco Malfoy. Family of PUREBLOODS not Mudbloods, Halfs, or anything else! PURE, perfectly PURE! Excuse me for a moment, I'm in a fight with Potter & his friends. I look at Crabbe & Goyle & snicker. 

"Smart one", Goyle says to me. 

"I wouldn't of thought of calling Granger a Mudblood. Smart", Crabbe says smirking. 

I smirk back, but stop. I see Granger's eyes tear up. Okay... For some reason I feel... I'm not sure... But I think it's guilt? She bumps into me as she runs away. 

"Look what you've done!", Potter says glaring at me. 

He & Weasley go after her. 

"Crabbe, Goyle... I-- I'll meet you at lunch", I say briskly. 

I go follow Potter & Weasley without them knowing. I don't know what's gotten into me but it just didn't feel right this time... 

Blimey... She's in the girls' bathroom.. 

Potter & Weasley notice me & Potter glares, "What do you want Malfoy?" 

"Nothing", I walk away & wait for them to leave. After about 20 minutes they finally give up. 

"We tried EVERYTHING! Doesn't she know she'll feel better if we comfort her!?" Weasley grumbles. 

"Girls.." Potter mutters. 

I wait until the footsteps are muffled, & then I slowly walk in. I hear quiet sobbing as I walk in. I have to make sure no one sees me in the girls' bathroom. I 'round the corner & spot her. 

I accidently step in a puddle(Eww!) & she jerks her head up, sees me, & sobs louder.  

"W-what do y-you w-want, Malfoy!?", she sobs. 

"I-I wanted to...", I can't bring myself to say it, but after a few seconds, I whisper, "Apologize.." 

She wipes her tears from her eyes & looks at me questioningly, "Is this a joke?" 

"Not everything I do is meant to be thought of like rubbish", I say quietly. 

"Well when you talk to my friends & I, it always seems rude & full of rubbish", she whispers. 

I start to think back & talk slowly, "I.. I didn't realize that, Granger" 

"Well it's been happening ever since!", Now she had stopped sobbing & said, " You & your family always boasting about how much better PUREBLOODS are, & how..", she gulped,"MUDBLOODS are.. They have.. Have no talent.." 

I suddenly realize that she's right. All these years, I have always thought my father was the perfect man; rich, proud, & always right. But after what Gran-- No. She deserves more respect. But after what HERMIONE said.. I'm wrong, my father has been rude, stuck-up, & mean all these years & his personality is just-just.. Rubbish 

"Look, Grang-- Hermione--" I see her smile a little after I switch names, "I'm sorry, okay? I didn't realize what my family was actually doing.. I'm sorry.. Will you ever accept my apology?.." 

She looks up at me with those big chocolate brown eyes, "Well... Okay.. I accept Mal-- Draco" 

She gives me a small smile, & I get up. I offer my hand, & she takes it. I help her up & we walk out of the bathroom. She stops abruptly, & I know why. We're still holding hands. 

"Oh.. Um.. I'm uhh.. Sorry", I stutter. 

"Yeah, uh.. Me too", she mutters. 

We both blush like crazy & I feel my cheeks burning up too. After an awkward silence, she asks something that makes me feel like their were pixies in my stomach. 

"Umm-- Mal-- Er, Draco.. Are we.. Um.. Friends now?", she mumbles. 

I stare dumbfounded at the floor, "Well... Let's just... Not say anything about today, okay?" 

"Okay, deal" she smiles at the floor. 

We both part, & I walk back the to Slytherin Common Room smiling like an idiot.
