   "(Y/L/N). We need to talk." 

   You look to where the voice of Draco Malfoy is coming from, and clench your jaw. 

   "Shove off Malfoy." Ron mutters, standing in front of you slightly in a protective manner. Harry stands on your other side, glaring at the blonde.

   "This doesn't involve you and your Weaslbeat friend, Potter." Draco sneers. He turns to look back at you again. "It's between me and her. Alone." 

   You gulp, and divert your eyes from his, carefully pushing by your friends. "It's alright guys. I'll meet you on the train." You lean close to Harry. "You have the Map." you whisper in his ear before gesturing to Draco to lead the way. He smirks at Ron and Harry before leading you out of the great hall and into the hallway. You turn down a few different corridors before he stops and turns to you.

   "Alright what do you want, Draco? Gonna insult my outfit? My family or friends? Oh no!" you snap your fingers and laugh. "Did you finally find a more creative way to bully me? Oh this should be good!" You cross your arms and lean back against the wall. "Let's hear it then. Out with it."

   Draco glares at you, the anger radiating off him. He huffs in annoyance. "You really can be quite daft, (Y/L/N)." he paces away from you for a couple steps, circles back, and stops in front of you. "Look, I don't hate you, (Y/N). I don't mean any of those things I've said to you over the past 5 years of school. It's actually the opposite." 

   You have to force yourself to not let your jaw actually drop. This isn't happening....

   "And I know I don't deserve anything from you. I don't deserve your forgiveness, or...or you to listen, and especially not what I truly want. But...I needed to tell you. And say I'm sorry for how I treated you and made your life a living hell."

   "Draco..." you sigh, running a hand through your hair out of habit. "You've done nothing but bully me and my friends for the past 5 years of school. You're in with Umbridge now, who you KNOW I can't stand. Why now?"

   He sighs, hanging his head. "I don't want to be my father anymore. I don't want to keep hating people just because they're in a different house. I don't want to push you away anymore. I can't. I've fallen too hard." he sighs. "Forget it. It's stupid."

   He starts walking back towards the great hall, but you catch his arm before he can turn the first corner away from where you were talking. "Draco." He turns and faces you, his eyes on the ground, his jaw tightening. "I've only been able to push away how I felt about you because I thought you hated me." His eyes widen and meet yours. You pull him back around the corner so you're out of sight from any potential watchers. "Year one. When I first saw you...I couldn't stop looking at you. I wanted to get to know you. But then you started harassing Harry, who was the first person I met on the train with Ron. And I couldn't bring myself to try getting to know you when every time I saw you, you'd say something rude to me or my friends." You take a breath, your mind reeling. "If....and only if...you can promise to at least try being nicer to my friends as well....I-I'll give you a chance."
