Maybe he thinks it's barking to fancy you because it puts both of you - though admittedly you, most of all - in such a terrible position. Because I'm fairly sure no one's ever said "Oh, I can't believe I fancy this person who I can't fathom fancying!" unless they'd been confounded or taken a bad love potion.
Perhaps those stories about witches and wizards using muggleborns for sex, the way Demelza Robins might want to, is another reason why he wishes he didn't have feelings for you, because he doesn't want those feelings to have that taint to them.
I don't know if we ever can be fully, 100% seen by another person. Maybe not even with legilimency. Because we're changing all the time, and we don't really understand ourselves sometimes, either. But Draco's had a long time to figure out what he feels, I think. Four hundred something days? I kept seeing that number. Anyway, I used to think that no one would want me, either. Because my own Mother didn't. And then I found Tom and I thought, oh, here's someone who likes me and needs me, and it was all a horrible lie of the worst kind.
But then there was Justin. That didn't mean it was easy, because it's hard to let someone like you, or love you. You have to decide that you're worthy of it.
I suppose that's why I'm so angry. Because someone loves loved me and I loved him, but someone else decided what we could and couldn't have. It's a small thing, really, compared to what some people don't get to have.
What do you think about when you picture yourself with someone? I've always thought that Terry might have imagined himself with you because you were the only girl he knew who was muggleborn, like him, and lived at Hogwarts, like him, and so on. But for whatever reason, Draco must have started to see you as the one he wanted to be with - but he couldn't see a way for it to be reality, or for it to be fair on your end, maybe. And now he's flailing about being annoying.
