IS IT LOVE? - a Draco Malfoy FanFiction

Granger!?

DRACO POV)

i wandered along the train followed by a few others, who i barely knew the names of, looking for a spare compartment. i was going to burst if i didn't find and empty one soon! i slid open the door of a booth and looked inside.

"this ones full" i called to the people behind me, they all groaned in annoyance. i looked at the people inside. an obvious weasely, "who've we got here?Ginger, scruffy... Weasely!" a girl with black hair, "clothes like a weasely... but not quite" i was confused now. the girl with the black hair started shouting but i was distracted.

a girl, she had long wavy brown hair that was braided down her side to her hip and brown eyes; she was tall and skinny. she glanced up at me and i saw the emotion in her eyes. i blocked out everything and studied her face as she looked up at me through her long eyelashes "and you..." we stared at each other until the Weasely coughed. she blushed and turned her head. i smirked. i make her blush, score for Draco. "ill see you around..." suddenly i realized that i didn't know her name!

"nieve. yeah... I'm nieve!" she explained. i could tell that she was trying to avoid eye contact. i smiled, and walked out of the booth. faintly, i heard Ron shouting at her. why? why would he shout at someone so beautiful? wait... did i just think that!?

NIEVE POV)

She was sat right opposite me. I was turned away but I could feel her eyes watching me.

"SO!" I almost shouted "how've you been Hermione? How have mum and dad been treating their little angel?" I asked sarcastically.

"Nieve look..." she sighed. Here we go! I big explanation about how it was all my fault! I didn't NEED to run away! "I'm sorry" well this is unexpected!

"What did you just say?" I asked, "did you just say SORRY!? So what are you sorry for Hermione? Sorry that YOU get amazing grades? Sorry that YOU are loved by all the teachers? Sorry that I did bad in school? Sorry that I GAVE UP!? Sorry that YOU are perfect and I'm..." I paused and felt a hot year roll down my cheek, "I'm a disappointment to the whole family!? Are you SORRY that no one loves me?" I whispered the last part but she still herd me.

She leaned closer to me, "is that is how you feel, then YES! I am sorry that I made you feel that way but mum and dad ALWAYS loved you! Even when you left us..." I was full of crying now and the whole carriage was staring at us.

"Why did you leave Nieve?" Hermione's question sliced through the silence and hit me.

"Because I never got any attention. I would often skip meals accidentally just because no one called me to the table. Because mum and dad were always so concentrated on their little angel when she won Spelling Bee, they forgot my birthday. I was sick, they NEVER cared! I'm sure they didn't even notice that I was gone until they wanted to show off how well you'd done and one of your MANY skills!" I explained to her. She said nothing so I continued. "That reminds me, when did they find out?"

"I..." she stuttered, "you didn't show up to an award ceremony..."

Everyone fell silently confused.

"So... who is this Nieve?" Ron asked.

"This Ronald, is my twin sister!" A chorus of "ooooooh!"s came from my friends. I chuckled.

"Hermione, who's this?" I suddenly remembered about the quiet boy sat next to her.

"Oh this is harry, harry potter!" She exclaimed.

"Cool... nice to meet you harry!" I held my hand out to him. He shook it lightly and looked at Olivia. I glanced at her and saw her staring at him. I wonder if this is how me and Draco looked...? Well that's awkward!

I daydreamed, the whole ride up to the castle.

When we arrived, all the first years were pushed to the side towards a female teacher who wore long black robes like us. Everyone left their trunks and pets in the corridor then wandered into the famous great hall!

Everyone gasped at the sight. The great hall was truly magnificent! I zoned out and stared around the hall in awe. People were being sorted...

"Lavender brown!... lavender?" The teacher, Miss McGonagall called out and a chubby girl with bushy brown hair stepped forward. The hat was placed on her head and is quickly shouted:

"GRYFFINDOR!" The table to the far right cheered.

This process was repeated.

"Hermione granger is a... GRYFFINDOR" the hat said. Hermione looked happy.

It was my turn so I walked confidently up to the stool. I sat and turned to face the crowd in front on me. I caught Draco's eye in the crowd, 'gryffindor?' He mouthed to me while laughing. I shook my head and to my surprise the hat spoke.

"Not Gryffindor eh? But you're ever so brave! Hufflepuff? No... I sense that you lose everything and aren't loyal enough!" I let out a small laugh, as did the rest of the hall. You're smart like a Ravenclaw But not logical enough. You're quite the little Riddle, you are." The hat rambled.

"What's that supposed to mean!? How am I like a riddle?" I frowned.

"Not LIKE a riddle." The hat replied. "You ARE a riddle, but not one that should be solved."

"Urgh, whatever! Just sort me, will you!"

"Fine! I think... Gggggryy...Hhhhuff...Rrrrravvveenn... SLYTHERIN!"

A wave of relief spread over me, I thought he was going to say Ravenclaw! Smirking, I got up and walked to my new house table. Watching Draco scowl as I did it!

Harry, Olivia and Ron were all Gryffindor. They frowned at me but I ignored them. But Draco was Slytherin. I got small butterflies when he walked up to out table and sat next to me.
