Finally, Voldermort had been defeated. Hogwarts had been rebuilt. The Golden Trio came back to school as seventh year students. It was two months before the N.E.
In potion class
"Mr. Malfoy, don't put the boomslang skin too much", said Professor Slughorn,"Your couldron is going to melt if you do that".
The whole class looked at Draco Malfoy, including Hermione. Malfoy's looked very pale and depressed nowadays. Hermione worried for Malfoy. She couldn't stand watching the man she loved became thinner and paler everyday. But, she didn't have a chance to talk to him because he was so quite and distant himself from everybody, even from Zabini, Crabbe, and Goyle. She hated herself for falling fot the enemy. But, she couldnt'deny it, she knew that Malfoy actually was a good boy who had being pressured by his pureblood and so almighty father for years.
Back to reality
"Mr. Malfoy, your potion marks become worse everyday. It seems that you can't concentrate a whole this year. So, Miss Granger", Slughorn turned his head on Hermione, "I assign you to give Mr. Malfoy extra-lesson."
"But.. but.., Professor" She lost her words. Either she was thrilled or scared.
"No but, Miss Granger, you must help him so he can pass the exam."
She looked at Malfoy, but he had no expression on his face. "Alright, Professor"
"Thank you, Miss Granger, I know that you are more than capable to do this".
At 2 o'clock, the class was dismissed.
"Hey, Hermione, Why didn't you just refuse that. It'll be hard for you to teach that ferret", asked Ron," Why it has to be you/?"
"Of course, the Slug doesn't want his Slytherin to get the lowest score", "And Hermione is the brightest witch in this century", Harry gave Hermione apologetic-looked.
"It's okay.. Thanks for your attention guys. But, I think I can handle him". It was her chance to melt his heart, got through him, and helped him out of the dark.
It was her mission for now.
