Malfoy's POV:

"Blaise, please, I do not fancy Granger and we will NOT be together. For the last time." I seethed. Blaise and Pansy had been pestering me about helping Granger and waiting on her in the hospital, insisting that I had feelings for her and that I was just being stupid and in denial.

"Oh please, Draco. We all saw the way you looked at her in the morning when we were boarding the train." Pansy countered, glaring at me. "Oh! The pangs of young love" Blaise said, imitating Dumbledore, causing Pansy to burst into fits of laughter.

"NO I DO NOT FANCY GRANGER AND WE WILL NOT BE TOGETHER!" I yelled, catching there attention. "Oh well if you want to waste your time, I'm gonna go to my boyfriend, who, thankfully, was NOT in denial when it came to our love." Said Pansy, stressing "not".

"Fine, go rattle off to Potter that I'm being a git." I replied. Pansy and Potter had started to go out together when the war ended.The train started to move. 

"Well, I'm gonna go to Astoria.", said Blaise, leaving me all alone. If only I had someone to go to.Maybe I could go to Granger but she hates me. She's hated me since our first year. My mind flashed back to our first encounter on the train.

* FLASHBACK TO FIRST TRAIN RIDE*

"Excuse me, let me go through" a rather stubborn brown haired girl said, glaring at me. 

"Okay, okay." I replied, letting her pass. "Thanks" she said, flashing me a pretty smile. I felt my heart melt a little. 

"Wait!" I said, catching her wrist, and making her turn."What's your name?" I asked.

"Hermione Granger" she said, and I smiled. She looked pretty, she must be pureblood. She is carrying a lot of books, so she is really smart. I would love to be friends with her, I thought, letting go of her wrist.

"Bye, Granger" I said, smiling at her. "Call me Hermione" she said, disappearing into the crowd of students.

*FLASHBACK TO SORTING *

"Malfoy, Draco" my name was called.

"Slytherin!" the hat bellowed, and I walked to the house table amid cheers. 

After a few more names, "Granger, Hermione". I inhaled a sharp breath. I was waiting, not even daring to breathe.

"Gryffindor" the hat bellowed,  and I sighed. But there was still hope, who says a Slytherin and a Gryffindor can't be friends?

After she sat down, she looked at me and smiled. I smiled back, relieved. She turned to talk to one of the Weasleys, and then she looked at me again, but this time, her face was full of hate.

* FLASHBACK TO END OF 2ND YEAR HERMIONE IS AWOKEN *

I watched her enter the Great Hall, and look at Potter. She ran to him and hugged him, love blazing in their eyes. I felt as though all my guts were being sucked out of me, and I felt a horrible, horrible pang of jealousy.

* FLASHBACK TO 3RD YEAR*

 She punched me hard, and my nose started to bleed. I ignored the pain and stared at her,  hurt in my eyes, and kept staring until Crabbe dragged me away. As I left, I turned back and saw a hint of remorse in her eyes.

* FLASHBACK TO THE YULE BALL*

"...AND NOT AS A LAST RESORT!" I heard her scream, and I saw Weasley and Potter leave. I turned around the corner to see Granger crying. I was afraid to go close to her so I ran away. It was a cowardly thing to do.

Later that night, I was taking a stroll in the castle when I went past the Gryffindor tower, and saw her coming out of there, crying. I abruptly stopped, and shrank into the shadows. But I was too late. She saw me and came up to me, and said "What do you want? Malfoy! Have-have you come to me to-to tease me?" she said, stuttering because she was crying too much. It pained me to see her like this. I held her arms, and looked at her. She refused to meet my eyes so I held her chin and made her look into my eyes. Those beautiful, brilliant chocolate eyes. "I'm sorry for the way Weasley treated you. You deserve much better." I said, and hugged her. "You deserve so much more. And I could never give you that" I said under my breathe, so she couldn't hear me.

We sat down against the wall  for what felt like an eternity. After a while she fell asleep crying in my arms. I noticed this, and wiped the tearmarks off her cheeks. I  lifted her up and carried her into her dorms. I knew the password because I heard a prefect say it earlier. I layed her down, and kissed her forehead, and whispered "Night, 'Mione. And I'm sorry for everything." before leaving.

*FLASHBACK TO FIFTH YEAR *

 I watched her do her O.W.Ls and saw her eyes travel across the paper. She was truly pretty, with eyes as brown as mud. I'm sorry that's a bad thing to compare to. How about...cinnamon? That seems right.  I saw as she chewed her quill in frustration, and grinned. 

* FLASHBACK TO SIXTH YEAR *

 I screamed and cried, because the Cabinet just would not fix. He was going to kill me, and I wasn't ready to go yet. I went to the bathroom, not noticing that it was an out of order girls'.

Granger entered, and saw me crying. She came over to me and hugged me. We didn't say anything to each other, we didn't need to say anything, we knew what the hug meant :"I'm sorry".

I kept crying and she kept holding me, until Potter came around and saw me. She dashed into a cubicle. I understood why. She would'nt want to be seen with a monster like me.

Potter hexed me, and I saw her stifle a scream.

Potter left, and so did Snape after healing me, but the whole while, I kept looking at her. She was staring at me, and mouthed "I'm so sorry " before all fell into darkness.

*END OF FLASHBACKS *

I saw the time. Shit! I was late to meet McGonagall. I was Head Boy, after all.

 I ran into the Head Compartment and said "Proffessor, I'm sorry I'm la- Granger??" I said, shocked out of my wits. "What are you doing here? " we both said simultaneously

Hermione' POV:

"Mr. Malfoy, Ms. Granger, I assume by your reaction you did not expect to see each other here. However, I suggest you two get along because you are going to be spending a lot of time together. You are roommates this year." she said, slightly amused at my expression. 

"WHAT?!" we yelled. Making McGonagall take a few steps back.

"Yes, now, do as I have told you. Or you will make this hard on everyone." she said and stormed out of the Compartment, leaving us flustered. 

"Soooo... "I said

"So..." Replied Malfoy

"So what?" I asked,curious.

"SO....I'm sorry about treating you wrong. I'm sorry about everything" he said, looking at the ground.

"I'm sorry too." I said, and I really was.

The rest of the ride passed in pleasent conversation.

We did our duties, and went to the feast.
