Hermione says to me while I tell her what happened with Malfoy, my eyes widen thinking that if it even is a word. "Combine you and Malfoy together, and you definitely both match up for that word." she says to me while grinning, i blush crimson red and cover myself at with a red colored pillow from the Gryffindor quarters. I hear Hermione laugh faintly as I blushed even more red, as I was burying my face on the pillow I thought of

Malfoy.

One person I was thinking about was him. His pale grey eyes that shine in the Library at night, His blonde platinum locks shining when directed through the moon, how he looks at me and smiling dearly, how he looks down from me considering how tall he is.

I lift my head up looking at Hermione who's face describes 'Thinking of him aren't you?', I laugh and she also laughs shortly after. After a minute of silence, she opened her mouth to speak. "You officially like him, Harry. No need to deny." I jokingly scoff at what she said and then stare blankly at the floor, "What about Ginny?" I ask, while still staring blankly at the red carpet-ed floor. Shortly after, I look up at Hermione who was gonna speak. "I'll talk to her, Don't worry. It's your choice, not hers." She says, which leads to my heart softening at her caring words. "Thank you, 'Mione." I say happily, I stood up and wave a goodbye at her and started walking up the stairs to the sleeping quarters of the Gryffindor dorm(s).

As I sit in my bed, I look down at the tip of my fingers and stare blankly, I start to get lost in my thoughts. Memories, Nostalgia, Experiences, were starting to appear in my thoughts. Words also started to form in my thoughts, Three not-so-specific words appeared which led me extremely curious.

would've, could've, should've.

I shake my head to break free from my thoughts and start to lay down in my bed, I stare at the ceiling blankly and think of Malfoy. I ask myself, "why did he suddenly get good?", "why did he start to do stuff?", "is he playing with me?" questions start flowing in my head as I shut my eyes and hum myself to sleep.

I wake up in the morning seeing Blaise and Pansy staring at me crazily, I look at them dull and stood up to dress up. I'm seriously regretting the time I told them that I'll always be with them even if it makes me blue, Stupid thing to do, I mean, what was I supposed to do? I was 6 years old.

I go down the stairs fully dressed and fully accomplished on doing stuff that I need to do, well, except for Potter (pun intended)

I go to the Great hall with Pansy and Blaise, As I start to sit down I wander my eyes throughout the hall, finding a specific someone that I would rather look at than Nott boy.

I see Potter and his friends walking inside and my eyes start to twinkle, indicating that i'm pleased already. My eyes follow where Potter and his friends sit at and I smile brightly, I hear Blaise and Pansy trying to force their laugh. I look at both evilly and scoff, They then let out their laugh and I just sigh in embarrassment and exhaustion.

I enter the Great hall and sit down with Ron and Hermione, I hear faint laughing from the right and I immediately look at the Slytherins. I see Blaise and Parkinson laughing, I then see Malfoy looking bored and pissed of at them. I giggle softly as I look at them piss of Malfoy, His hand was in his chin looking very annoyed and embarrassed. I then laugh and look back at the table, I see Ron looking at me confusingly and Hermione grinning.

"Shush Hermione, It's just funny okay?" I say to Hermione, leaving Ron confused and outdated. "Sure, alright, i'll accept your excuse." she says giggling and mockingly, i laugh shortly after and look back at Malfoy who seems to have been looking at me. I smile innocently at him and he smiles back as he takes his hand off his chin and open the book that Theodore gave him.

"Just funny huh? or something else?" Hermione asks me teasingly, which leads me to look at her and nudge her jokingly while we both laugh at the same time. "What's up?" Ron asks, "Nothing, eat you chicken peacefully and dont be nosy." Hermione says and laughs shortly after, I follow her laugh and laugh too. I look at Malfoy while laughing, he who seems to have been smiling at me while I was laughing. I blush pink and look down at the table.

I look at Potter while i hear faint laughing at my both sides, I see him look at me and smile. I smile back dearly and goes back to talking with Granger, Dumbledore starts chattering and Potter seems to not have noticed, as the food popped up, I look at Potter to see if he was eating well. I look at him and I see him laughing, I smile at the sight and he caughts me smiling at him. I see him blush pink and look down the table, I chuckle and I feel Parkinson nudge me, I look at her and I see her grinning like crazy.
