Hermione's P.O.V

Draco hadn't written to me all summer. He never replied to my letters either. I hoped it was because he was busy but part of me thought he hated me all of a sudden. I would know today though, I thought to myself trying to make my self happier.

I sat down in the car and my dad drove us to kings cross. I waved goodbye and ran through the barrier into Platform 9 and 3/4. I looked around for Draco and found him, then I walked to him.

"Hey Draco, how was your summe-" he walked right past me.

I frowned and my heart sank. So he really did hate me now, what did I do wrong? I tried to find him on the train but he wasn't there. So I looked Harry and Ron but I couldn't find them anywhere either so I sat all alone in an empty compartment and read my books for the year.

I walked into Hogwarts actually not wanting to be there and I never thought I would think that in my life. My friends were missing and I was all alone.

I sat down at the Gryffindor table with Fred and George and watched the sorting.

"Ginny Weasley." Professor McGonagall said.

Ginny walked up and sat on the stool nervously. She saw me and I smiled at her then she smiled back. I was wrong, Ginny could be my friend.

"Yet another Weasley!?" The sorting hat said. "I believe it's the last one, well, Gryffindor!"

Ginny let a sigh of relief and walked over to me.

"Hi!" I said to her and smiled.

"You're Hermione Granger right? Ron was talking about you and Harry- Harry Potter." She said.

"Yeah I am! Nice to meet you Ginny! Speaking of Ron and Harry, do you know where they are?" I asked.

"No idea but nice to meet you too." She said.

"Let the feast, begin." Dumbledore announced and food appeared on the plates.

Everyone ate the delicious food but Harry and Ron still weren't there when the feast ended. I walked to the common room with Ginny and saw that there were decorations and the picture of Harry and Ron.

Draco's P.O.V
"Don't talk to her!" Father shouted at me before I ran through the barrier.

"What a nice thing to say before you don't see your son for almost a year." I mumbled, then ran through the barrier.

I saw her but didn't talk to her,

"Hey Draco how was your summe-" I walked right past her but felt like a jerk.

I went onto the train early, sat down and looked out the window. After about half an hour the train started moving.

"Malfoy? Malfoy?" Crabbe was trying to knock me back to the real world.

"What!?" I said harshly. He was being really annoying.

"Nothing." He said and chuckled.

"Just shut up!" I shouted and stared out the window again.

"Someone's got a temper problem." Goyle muttered, but I couldn't care less.

"Malfoy? Malfoy." Crabbe said again after what felt like hours, he was shaking me awake.

"What!?" I yelled again.

"We're here." He said.

I stood up and walked into the castle missing talking to Hermione. My dad knew Legilency, I couldn't risk it.

We eventually got into the great hall and I went straight to the Slytherin table.

"Malfoy? Malfoy?" Crabbe said for the third time that day.

I snapped back to the real world and realized I was staring at Hermione the whole time.

"Aren't you going to eat your food?" Crabbe asked greedily.

"No, you eat it." I said and got up.

"Where are you going?" Goyle asked.

"I'm tired." I lied and went to the Slytherin common room.

I sat on my bed and took out a pocket knife. I looked at it for a while wondering if I should use it or not. I looked at it for a bit longer and put it back into my pocket.

'No Draco don't.' I thought to myself.

I sat there for a while and started to regret not eating anything.

I slowly took out my wand, remembering my dad teaching me a spell. It was very difficult but I'd learned it. He told me to use it on Hermione but I couldn't do that to her.

I pointed the wand towards my chest and whispered

"Crucio."

Pain filled every part of my body and I sat there, in pain.

'You deserve it. You deserve it, you were a jerk to Mione.' I thought.

I sat in pain for a while and then it stopped. My eyes closed and I drifted off to sleep.
