A/N- This is my very first fanfiction so I would really appreciate it if reviews were submitted so I can improve my writing; also, my fanfiction is one that is made up of a lot of ideas that do not belong to me, so if I used one of your ideas in this fanfiction pwz don't hurt me . I would also really appreciate ideas and tips along the way…

Summary- Set in their seventh year, Professor Dumbledore has lots of new ideas to promote inter-house unity after the fall second and final fall of Voldemort, one of his ideas is a tutoring program. Hermione loves Dumbledore's new idea for a tutoring program, until she realizes that she has to be one of the tutors. She doesn't really mind at first until she's assigned her first student, a certain Slytherin. Will Hermione learn to put her negative feelings aside for the sake of education (and for love), or will she crumble and make the biggest mistake of her life?

Chapter 1-

Hermione Lynne Granger stood before her full-length mirror, giving herself one last once over before she started a new day.

"Done and done," Hermione said aloud to herself as she smoothed out a wrinkle in her skirt.

"You look marvelous dear," spoke the enchanted mirror.

"Thank you, Isabella."

"Oh, I'm just speaking the truth, dear."

Marvelous may have been took strong of a word for Hermione's tastes as she blushed a shade of magenta that would have made the Weasley's proud, but she couldn't deny that she wasn't decent either.

Hermione no longer possessed the bushy head of hair that had plagued her earlier years of Hogwarts; she now owned a delicate many of shiny, golden-brown curls that cascaded down her back, but don't mistake this as a makeover, because no matter how many times Ginny, Lavender, and Parvati had tried to convince Hermione to let them "fix her up a little" she never gave in, despite the endless teasing that often made her cry secretly at night.

Although she wasn't as uptight about her grades, Hermione still possessed that bookworm quality (How on earth can she not? She's Hermione!), but she now also posseses a sense of maturity and sophistication that many of her fellow seventh-years had yet to display.

Speaking of which…

"Oi! Granger! Get a move on or we'll be late for Dumbledore's meeting!"

"Oh don't get you knickers in a twist Malfoy! I'll only be a moment."

"We haven't got a 'moment'. We have to leave now!"

"What are you talking about? I've just checked the time! We've still got half an hour!"

"Think again, mudblood!"

'OH NO HE DIDN'T! HE HAS GONE WAY FAR! IF HE THINKS I'LL LET HIS FERRET ASS SLIDE HE'S GOT ANOTHER THING COMING!'

CRASH went Hermione's door

"One, Malfoy, we've got plenty of time, and two, if you call me mudblood one more time I'll smack you back into third year so you I can smack you, AGAIN."

"Jesus Granger no need to get your knickers in a twist, but honestly, all we've got is a few minutes. If you don't believe me, look at the damned clock yourself."

'OH HOLY...'

"Shit!" said Hermione aloud as she blasted through the portrait with Malfoy in tow, running over an innocent 1st year in the process.

"Since when did you curse? My, my don't tell me Saint Potter and the Weasel have had this effect on you."

"Shut up Malfoy and run."

"It's not my fault you made us late."

"Well it's not my fault that you took an entire hour in the bathroom to get ready."

"Hey, I can't deny the public what it wants."

"And just what is it the public wants?"

"Me."

"Oh shut up! How can you be such a conceited bastard?"

"I try my best."

"Whatever, I wonder what Professor Dumbledore's announcement is that makes it so important for us to meet him in the morning."

"I don't know, maybe he wants to erect a sold golden statue of Saint Potter?"

"Oh shut up Malfoy! Professor Dumbledore is not biased, unlike some people I know, but not everything has got to be about you."

"Of course it does, I'm me."

"Well we'll figure out soon enough, Jolly Ranchers."

And with that the two stone gargoyles sprung to life, just what is Dumbledore's TRUE plan, and what has the rest of the staff got to do with it?

A/N - I know it's extremely short, but please bear with me. I promise to have a longer chapter next time. PLEASE REVIEW
