Harry is back at Hogwarts for yet another year with his friends, but instead of the excitement that he usually feels to be returning to his beloved home, he finds himself feeling nervous. He isn't sure why because everything is going well for him: he's doing well in his studies, he's got the girl he had always dreamed of and he and his friends are closer that ever, so why does he has a nagging feeling of worry? Enter Draco Malfoy, the school heart-throb, blonde hair and grey eyes. He makes all the girls swoon, yet for some strange reason Harry feels something more than hatred towards the slytherin. As they always said, there's a very thin line between love and hate. Throw in some problems with Ginny, arguments with his friends, and countless encounters with his nemesis Draco Malfoy and you get the year where everything is about to change! A/N ALL credit goes to J.K.Rowling, as she created the wonderful world of Harry Potter. This is merely a fan writing because she loves the book. Anyway I hope you enjoy. Also remember that this is a PG 13 and there is some language that might not be appropriate for younger readers. You have been warned, so please don't read if you don't like it or passionate scenes. Thanks.
