Hermione felt the pounding in her ears again. She would see him for the first time since the Great Hall, gaunt and stricken at the Slytherin table with his mother clutching his arm. She hadn't meant to look for him. Not in the corridors, not beneath the white sheets of the fallen, not on the way to the Chamber of Secrets with Ron, but she was a stupid girl.

-UNDER EDITING- Bella Diggory starts her fifth year as a muggle born Slytherin at Hogwarts, not knowing and understanding why she was ever sorted into Slytherin. All of Slytherin despises her for this and bully her because of this, especially Draco Malfoy and his friends. The rest of the houses don't want to hang out with her, since Malfoy and his friends manage to break every friendship or relationship she ever tries to have in the worst ways. Things get complicated when Bella starts to have a thing with Oliver Wood. Malfoy seems to take more interest in Bella, not knowing what ride he got himself into when everything takes a completely different turn. ~|~ "She was supposed to be a distraction. She was supposed to be a simple thing I could scratch of my bucket list. She was supposed to be a one time thing. A good or decent fuck. It was supposed to be another thing I could ruin her with. Making her desperate for the person she hates the most. It was all supposed to be a joke. But the joke got out of hand. Big time." ~|~ Year 5, 6 (including battle) | OC and Draco POV
