It all started for him in year three, when she gave him the right hook .How such a thing can make you realise you like the girl is beyond him , but he did , not that he would let anyone know that. He would hide behind his insults and tormenting. Although he didn't mean I single word, and he had the chance to save her in the battle, not that she knew it was him and nor would he tell her.

But he was enamoured with her, she, being the only reason he came back to Hogwarts to redo his final year. Blaise had come back too of that he was glad; at least he wasn't alone in the Slytherin dormitory.

Draco hadn't changed much from his seventh year , other than his hair had grown , still the same platinum blonde as always , although he didn't much have the patience to style it now , but most of the girls had said it suited him better just the rough playboy look . His molten grey eyes now had specks of sliver that had appeared in the battle, making him appear all the more mature for his age. He had seen things in the war that a young boy should never see.

His mother proud that he apparently wanted to put his education first had said he was making his entire family proud but now he was to follow his own ideals, especially now that the dark lord had fallen. And he certainly planned on doing so.

Being intelligent and handsome were two features that Blaise had going for him , being tall ,with mocha skin made him the exotic one , all the girls fawned over him . And all said the same that no guy compared after him. Funny that they all seemed to move on a year later. Some didn't want to be near him just because he had been tarnished with the same brush as all of the other Slytherins. And therefore he was a dangerous Death eater, not true, nor did he or his parents have anything to do with the dark lord and his "games". The Zabini family have always and will remain neutral.

Not that he cared , something else this year took his interest except for his interrupted studies, Draco had been acting funny for the first two weeks back at Hogwarts , staring at what he supposed was nothing interesting , walking the other way to go to places that the Gryffindors were going , especially potions , Draco would make sure they were the first two to arrive and the last to leave , which was unusual seeing as he was the usual suspect to make sure the Gryffindors received hell in potions. It was like he was ignoring them. It didn't help that Professor Snape had reached a point with most Gryffindors that he was tolerable ,even in some cases fair , although when Longbottom or Potter went near a cauldron he would stand at their shoulder watching , that was about the most exciting it got. (Boring)

Although he did notice a certain lioness that had grown over the summer , her hair falling just that little bit straighter , still wild curls but not as frizzy . Her smile seemed warm and genuine, and her appearance had certainly got the eyes of those who didn't notice her before.

Hermione , had taken care of herself this summer , she had managed to find a taming solution for her hair at last, it now sat as soft yet still wild curls down her back and the frizz was now a thing of the past , she now went for a daily run to keep her toned stomach and her breasts had now filled out to a nice and petite C cup , it made her feel more womanly , not that her friends had noticed , all summer she had been sitting at the burrow , studying the reversal of the memory spell she had used on her parents , who were still in Australia , but all the while her so called friends had been partying and sucking face with their "partners " she couldn't say she wasn't jealous , well not of the particular people , Lavender Brown had recovered for her gruesome injuries in the war from Greyback , and now only had a small scar at the base of her neck . After her recovery, Ron had told Hermione that, he loved her but as a friend and not anything more. That was fine with her, but it still made her cringe when, Won-won and lavipoo were sucking face.

Two weeks back at school and they were still at it, so Hermione went back to doing what she did best, studying. She did notice that she was getting unusual stares from the boys from all different houses, it made her slightly uncomfortable but she managed to ignore them mostly, in the library she felt safe, she felt at home in the books, madam Prince had decided to give her a 24 hour pass into the library, and often found the girl asleep on the desk where she left her the night before. Not that she minded, it was on these mornings that she would share a cup of tea with the girl and they would talk until breakfast. Hermione had a brilliant mind and , madam prince found herself wondering why the girl was so alone nowadays , but the girl didn't show any sign of loneliness just relief the war was over .

Two weeks of school had passed, and it was in the third week things started to become strange for Hermione.
