Dark Desires

Authors note: This is originally a completely different Dramione fic, I really didn't like how the other one ended up s I decided to re-write it a bit, I'm finnieshed with the first chapter so far. I'm fully aware of that my english is kinda sucky, and so is my writing skills. but try to keep in mind that I'm only 16 and that english isn't my first language. If someone would like to beta this fic, please let me know.

Chapter 1: Working together

It was morning at Hogwarts. Hermione had just finished getting dressed after a long
shower. She went out to the Gryffindor common room and gave the two boys who where waiting for her a big smile, "Hi Harry, hi Ron" she said with the
smile still attached on her lips.

"You're in a good mood, what's up?" the redhead said as he looked at Hermione.

"What? Can't I just be in a good mood? I just have a good feeling about today" she
replied.

"Can
we get going, I'm really hungry" Harry interrupted. The trio started to walk
down the many stairs. "Bloody stairs, why do we they have to be so many" Ron mumbled to himself hardly noticeable. Every here and there students turned
around to get a peek at the boy who lived, mostly first year students. They
got down to the huge dining room and sat down at the Gryffindor table. Harry and Ron started up a conversation with Neville about quidditch which Hermione found very
uninteresting. She started to look around the big hall not even sure what she
was looking for. She found the face of a boy who looked just as uninterested as she about the conversation his friends were having, she laughed inside when she
saw him close his eyes. "It looks like Draco is going to fall asleep any
minute now"
she thought. She then realised she had just notified him as Draco "MALFOY I mean, Of course I mean Malfoy. It was just a slip, nothing else. just a slip."

The blond boy sat down at the Slytherin table eating some breakfast and, as usual
his mates had a boring conversation about which girl was the hottest. The
conversations had been interesting the first day, but after an entire week it started to bore him. He started
to look around the room as his eyes found themselves at the petite brunette
sitting on the Gryffindor table with her eyes on him and a small almost
unnoticeable smile cross her lips. "What am I doing? Why am I looking at
her"
he thought as he closed his eyes starting to debate with his feelings
"I don't WANT to look at Herm..GRANGER...her name is Granger. I only looked
at her because she was looking at me, that's why. She's just a filthy mudblood,
nothing else, just a filthy mudblood."
He opened his eyes, satisfied with
his decision.

Harry, Ron and Hermione walked down
the hall on their way to their first class for the day which was unfortunately
potions with the Slytherins. Hermione had told herself that this wasn't going to ruin her mood. They walked into the musty
dungeon and took a seat at a table in the back. When Snape was in sight all of
the conversations that had filled the room immediately stopped. Today we are going to be working on invisibility potions. Before you ask, the potion does not work on humans," he said in his usual irritated voice. "I'm going to pair you one Gryffindor and one Slytherin each", he paused and noticed some curious faces and some irritated ones as well.

"It was Dumbledore's idea, he thought you should learn to work together, now that you-know-who is back"
he said, failing to hide the sarcasm in his voice.

"Well, that's bloody stupid" Draco
said, the Slytherins started to laugh at his comment. "He always has to make a
scene that self-righteous stupid pig" Ron said low enough for only Harry and
Hermione would hear.

Hermione started to giggling at his
remark "you're right, as long as I don't have to work with him I'm happy.
The other Slytherins I can handle, but he is just too much." Hermione
replied.
"I agree I..." Their conversation was interrupted by Snape who had just
noticed that they where talking and even though it wasn't bothering anyone he just couldn't let them of the hook. "If you three would like to have a
little chat I think you should leave this classroom now, otherwise you should be quiet and let me talk". The Slytherins started to laugh once more but
immediately stopped when Snapes cold eyes turned to them. "So" he said "now
lets choose couples. I will pull your name out of this jar and the two I pull
toghter will be a paring during this potion lesson, and there is going to be a
homework that you and your partner are going to do together" He stood there
listening to the irritated mumbles that came from the students, his eyes darting
at every single one of them "You will go and sit next to your partner when I
say your name and then I'll tell you what to do" he started to pull names
out of the jar but Hermione didn't really hear what he said, all she could
focus on was hoping that her name wouldn't be pulled out of the jar together
with Malfoys. She just couldn't bear being partner with him. The next thing
she new both Harry and Ron was gone. Harry was sitting next to a black haired
boy who looked kind of shy for a Slytherin and Ron was sitting next to Pansy,
she could see the frown on his face as he looked at his partner." poor Ron,
I..."
She was snapped out of her daze as she heard Snape call out her name,
she looked at him as he pulled out another name from the jar "please don't
let it be Malfoy, please don't let it be Malfoy, please don't let it be Malfoy"
She watched as Snapes mouth opened and out came the words "Draco Malfoy" .

"No" Hermione said hearing the
blond boy on the other side of the room express a "Bloody Hell".

"Do I have to be with her" Draco
said in a loud voice as he pointed at Hermione.
Hermione felt the anger bubble inside of her, "no, no, no,
NOOOOO...Why did this have to happen?...Why did HIS name had to be the
one which got pulled out the jar?...Why do he have to destroy this good day,
damnit!
"

"Yes you have to work her mr Malfoy" Snape said in a irritated voice. "Well, I'm not moving" Draco shouted over the room to Hermione "If you want to work with me you'll have
to come here"

"I rather not" Hermione mumbled
loud enough for him to hear her as she walked over to his table and sat down on
a chair on the opposite side of it.

Snape started to give instructions how
to do the potion and Hermione and Draco did as he said but still with a frown onboth of their faces. After forty long minutes the potion was finally done. "Well, that didn't go so bad" Hermione thought "Sure, Malfoy is the most
selfish person I've ever met, and he really doesn't have the quality of
being nice, unless he's hiding a very big secret. But I have to admit, he is
smart and on a working level e is a good partner, ONLY on a working level."
Draco lookedat her questioning.

She expressed a "What". And as a
reply she got "You know what? I don't know how you mudbloods do it but we
purebloods actually answers when someone asks a question". Oh god, she could
rip his throat. He really knew how to push her buttons, she hated him.

"Oh shut up, Malfoy. And I didn't
hear that you said anything" she replied.

"Well, I said that we should get
this homework done as soon as possible so I don't want to spend more time with you than necessary. So I figured we could do the assignment at the library about five"

"First of all, you really have to put an insult in every sentence you talk to me don't you? And five sounds good."

"Yep, Can't just resist the look on your face when I do. See you there then...teachers pet" He said before walking out of the dungeon.

Hermione caught up with Ron and Harry
who had gone ahead.

"Sorry about Malfoy" Harry said

"Yeah, I thought I had it bad with
Pansy. But Malfoy that oughta hurt." the redhead agreed.

"Yeah, don't mention it." She
replied to the two boys who was looking at for more details "we're going to do
the homework later today in the library and after that I hope I'll never have
to do another assignment with that bloody pureblood brat."

"Do you want us to come with"
Harry asked kindly.

"No don't worry, I think I can handle
myself" She answered with a smile.

It's ten past five and Hermione is walking fast towards the library as she
threw her soaked hair away from her face "Damn, I'm late... why did I
have to be in the shower so long... Wait, it's Malfoy I'm late for. I
don't care if I'm late for him, he deserve to be treated badly after all
he've put me through."
She thought, but she still walked in a fast pace
only seconds later she arrived at the library. She looked around and saw a pist
out blond sit at a table in the corner staring at her.

"You're late" he said as she
approached the table. "I know, sorry" she replied.

"Do you really think I like spending
my time waiting for YOU" He said looking just as irritated as he did when she
arrived, if not even more.

"I hope not" Hermione said before
sitting down at the table and grabbing the potion-books out of her bag." So,
what are we going start with? The essay or the recipe?

"I don't know" the blonde replied
having calmed down a bit

"Lets start with the recipe then"
she said.

"Sure, why not. Are we just gonna
write down which ingredient that's needed in this stuff?" he
said as he took up a paper with some potion names which he apparently had wrote
down during lesson.
"Wow. I would have never believed that Draco Malfoy would pay attention in
class and actually write stuff down"
she
interrupted her thoughts to reply Malfoy before he started to insult her again
"Yep, that's right".

They started to look through some
books and found some of the recipes. It all actually went pretty good, no
insults so far. Malfoy had even laughed at something funny Hermione had said.

But Hermione would never try to get
her hopes up on even getting to a friendly level with Malfoy, even though for
once actually being able to have as close as they could get to a civil
conversation she still hated his guts for the way he'd been treating her and
her friends. She figured if he hadn't been mean he could be a decent guy.

Some more time passed on and they still weren't done with the school
work, even though they had got a lot of it done. They decided to meet at the
library the next day at the same time.

Authours note: okay, new chapter is up. it's a quite short chapter and there isn't very much dialogue, it's mostly about Hermione trying to figure Draco out. I hope you'll like it. I didn't get very much feedback on my last chapter but I very much appreciate the feedback that I got, and big thanks to the wonderful irisri for betaing.
