I can't get rid of you

I don't know what to do

Why why why did Granger have to take Care of Magical Creatures, Arithmancy and Ancient Runes? Couldn't she have picked something that I wasn't doing? The first two years were bad enough. And I hoped, (did I?) that she wouldn't take the same subjects as me. But oh no. And then she picked the same NEWTs as me. I think she's doing it on purpose.

I don't even know who's growing on who

Cos everywhere I go you're there

Somehow she always ends up in the library when I'm there, the Great Hall when I'm there, Hogsmeade when I'm there. Lessons I understand, but the rest of the time? Did I get there first, or did she? Who was following whom?

Can't get you out of my hair

Can't pretend that I don't care-it's not fair

She's always been in classes with her hand up before me. Always getting stuck in before I've rolled my sleeves up. Always on the third question before I've written my name. So irritating. But so clever. I'm fed up of pretending. Calling her a filthy little Mudblood hurt me more than it hurt her. And I always hesitate before hexing her, insulting her, or even answering before her in class and it's getting harder to hide.

I'm being punished for all my offences

I wanna touch you but I'm afraid of the consequences

Irony of life again, huh? Dad and Mum and everyone preach to me the impurity of Muggles and their magical offspring, and I end up archenemy of Potty and the Weasel, and who is it I have a massive crush on? Only the best friend of said weirdos Potty and Weasel, a Muggle born (note I didn't say Mudblood. I don't sink that low any more). Dad and Mum would kill me if they found out. It's bad enough she's in Gryffindor. Whoever heard of a Gryffindor and a Slytherin? Son of a Death Eater and best friend of The Boy Who Lived? Never mind Dad, Granger herself would kill me if she found out. I hate irony.

I wanna banish you from whence you came

But you're a part of me now

And I've only got myself to blame

I never thought of Granger (I can't say Hermione. I go all weak at the knees and gooey and that most definitely isn't a good look) as a girl. More of an it. Then a stupid slip of the tongue caused it to be pointed out to me in front of the whole class that in fact, Granger was a girl. At which point I realised it was so, and she wasn't a bad girl at all.

You're really growing on me

Or am I growing on you?

It's hard to know. What I do know is that when I stole her diary and read it to the class (please look at me Granger, I want you to know I exist, and that I'm really big and clever) I missed one bit out.

I think I like Draco Malfoy.

Irony of life again.
