Draco's POV

I'm nothing in her life. Not a friend or an acquaintance at all. I want to be someone memorable, making her remember me and think of me every moment. We're in different houses, it's not a big deal if she is not in the rival house - Gryffindor. So, what I can do is to make her hate me.

Both love and hate take energy. Both can change your thought patterns, not just about one person, but about everyone. Both can make you do things that you might not do otherwise. Making her hate me is the only way to make her care about me.

It's not easy to treat the girl you love badly. I'm completely a bad arse. Fortunately, she is a strong-minded girl, never cry because of my taunt, or I will kill myself.

Today, I do what I do as usual.

'Pansy, I just can't understand why some of us can accept those Mudbloods. They are the filthiest thing on Earth,' I drawl loudly at the corridor, making sure the girl I love can hear it clearly. 'I won't touch one in my life. They have germs you know -'

Her response really makes me surprised and guilty.

She doesn't shout back but breaks into tears and runs into the girl's bathroom.

My heart breaks into pieces at the same time.

Draco Malfoy, you are incorrigible!

I hate myself so, so, so much.

I follow her without hesitation and make sure there is no one can see me enter the girls' bathroom. I don't want to be seen as a pervert.

I close the door behind me slowly, trying my best not to produce any noise. Walking inside the bathroom, I see her sitting at the corner, burying her face in the knees and arms and shivering.

'Hey.' I say tentatively.

She looks up with her tears streaming down her redden cheeks. When she finally finds out who is standing in front of her, she glares at me with her watery big eyes.

I can't help seeing her being like this, so I walk closer to her and kneel down next to her, placing my palm on her back tentatively, ,but my mind is cut by her words.

'You said you wouldn't touch a Mudblood in your life and what you think you are doing now? Touching mud with your hands?' she says coldly, but still doesn't stop sobbing.

'No... Don't take that so serious, it's a joke.' I stammer, patting her back to comfort her which doesn't make anything better.

'A joke? You find this funny, do you?' she sniffs.

'No... (Y/L/N), listen...'

'I think you would call me a Mudblood.'

'No...'

'Shove off, Malfoy! Can't you just leave me alone for a while?' she shoves my hand away and says shakily. 'You have made my life like a mess already. I hate you so much, Draco Malfoy.'

The last sentence makes the time as if stop. She hates me. I've known it a long, long time ago, and it's all I have expected, but when the words have been said by her, it's hard to bear.

'Okay, I'll leave you alone but not before telling you my feelings,' I stand up and murmurs.

'(Y/L/N), I don't mean to mess your life up. I just want to be someone memorable in your life. I really want to be your friend and even more than just a friend. But the reality is ruthless, we are born to be enemies, you in Gryffindor while me in Slytherin, you from Muggle family but me from Pureblood family. I've known we don't have any chance, what I can do is to make you hate me. You will care about me if you hate me. I don't expect you to love me back, but I just want to be someone special in your life, someone who can't be forgotten. It's not a easy job, it hurts so much.' I say sadly and look at her genuinely, who is crying more furiously.

'You are an idiot,' She squeezes a smile and says softly, wiping her tears away with the back of her hand.

I'm confused now, staring her with my grey eyes to wait for her to continue.

'I don't hate you, Draco. I actually love you,' She takes my hand and give it a squeeze. 'Draco, you don't have to do this. You're already one of the most important things in my life. Houses and blood-status are bullshit. They can't separate a couple who love each other.'

I feel my stomach churns when she calls my name. But I have no time to feel excited about it because there is other thing need to be felt excited. She said she loved me.

Before I can say anything, I'm pulled by my tie and kissed by her desirable lips. They taste like strawberries. With my hands bracing myself against the wall, I kiss her back gently. Wrapping around my neck with her arms, she pulls me closer and closer and kisses me with more passion.

Not knowing how long we have kissed, we pull away to gasp for our dearest life. We look into each other's eyes and maybe feeling awkward, we smile at each other with reddened face. She breaks the silence first.

'You're really bad, Malfoy.' She punches me in the chest lightly and playfully.
