Dare to Love (a Dramione story)

2.

Only a few seconds ago Draco had whatched Blaise walking on the end of the street. He fell his lips curl up slightly, he hadn't seen his friend for almost a year now. The same was true for Pansy. The reason for this was that they didn't want to overdo their seventh year at Hogwards. The ministry was willing to have them working there with the knoweledge they already posessed.
Draco on the other hand, wanted to finish his school first. The war had changed something inside him. He didn't want to be so cold and mean all the time. The thing is that he had no idea what to do instead.
Not knowing what to do confused him. It made him feel insecure.
Last year, he had went to Hogwards, alone. He wondered if there would be any other student of his year who had also decided to return.

He sat in his old place at the Slytherin table. But it was not the same without any of his usual company.
He looked around, he saw a few Hufflepuffs from his year, who he only recognized because he had seen their faces once or twice. There were a little more Ravenclaws that had returned. Unfortunately, Luna Lovegood had decided to work for the Quibbler as a collumnist. Draco loved her stories, they were diffrent.
He looked across the room, almost all the Gryffindors had returned which, according to Draco, made sense. They were Gryffindors for a reason.
What did surprise him was that Potter and Weasley hadn't returned. Granger, on the other hand, had. He watched her while she laughed with the Weasley girl. A weird feeling filled his stomach. Hermione looked beautiful.

Wait, what!?!
