Disclaimer- I, as always, own nothing of Harry Potter. All belong to lovely JKR. If I did own anything, my full name would include "Mrs. Felton" in it.
Author's Note – I got this idea in my head about two hours ago. I hope you all enjoy it!
Prologue:
Hello, fellow readers. I'm the narrator. Now, if any of you have read "The Littlest Things," you are already well-acquainted with my sister. "Your sister?!" you reply. Yes, is it that hard to fathom that I have a sister? We both broke out into the narrating world when we were quite young. She just found her job a little bit before me. Just don't rat me out, okay? She'll have a fit if she found out I have my very own story too.
Now, going on, my story is about two special people. Really special wonderful kids, both of them. There's a wee problem. They loathe each other. Still, it's only a wee problem. Oh, who am I trying to fool, it's a huge problem. A monstrous problem. A gigantic, humongous, enormous problem. And they have to fall in love. Why? How am I supposed know? I just know that they must: no exceptions, no ifs, ands, or buts. Who knows how this mess will turn out. At least it's not me who's in this love quagmire. Ah well, here is the story. And don't say I didn't warn you.
Ch. 1:
The day started out like any other. Nothing special, just a regular day. Hermione got up, chucked her annoying alarm clock across the room for the millionth time that summer (why she has an alarm clock in the summer is beyond me, the narrator), fetched the mail, and sat down at the table to eat her breakfast. However, before she got her Cheerios and Pop-Tarts, she heard a tapping on the window. Looking up she saw a big brown owl with a letter in its beak. She ran up and grabbed the letter roughly from its beak, making the owl give a hoot of protest before taking off. Hermione tore open the letter and settled down at the table to read it. This better be my Head Girl letter. I've been waiting ages for this.
However, when she opened the letter, she realized that it didn't have the Hogwarts crest on the top. Nor did the envelope have the Hogwarts' wax seal. Uh oh, this isn't good. Then she saw that the letter came from the Ministry of Magic. What the hell could they want? They've already done enough wrong. As she read the letter, her eyes got bigger and bigger until they threatened to pop out of their sockets. She put the letter down, breathing hard and trying not to scream. "I b-b-better go pack for school," she said to herself. She slowly went up the stairs to her room and shut the door.
The letter fluttered to the ground. Crookshanks pawed at it, curious as to what had made his mistress so upset. It read:
Dear Ms. Hermione Granger,
I am writing to inform you of a very important matter. One of the most noted and famous wizards of our age, Giddilus Giggles, has just died. In his will, he stated that he wanted everyone to find their one true love. As soon as he died, his wish went into effect, stating that if someone does not find his or her true love in one year's time, he or she will literally die of a broken heart. To facilitate your search for your one true love, the Ministry of Magic has run personality searches on each and every witch and wizard. Your personality results and your match's are as follows:
Name: Hermione Granger
Age & Gender: 17, Female
Appearance: Medium height, curly brown hair, honey brown eyes
Descent: Muggle-born
Personality: That of a Gryffindor (courageous, loyal, etc.); extremely intelligent; kind; strong
Best Match: Draco Malfoy
Name: Draco Malfoy
Age & Gender: 18, Male
Appearance: Tall, shaggy platinum blonde hair, grey eyes
Descent: Pureblood, of the Malfoy Line
Personality: That of a Slytherin (cunning, determined, etc.); very intelligent; strong, but harsh
Best Match: Hermione Granger
I apologize for the shock of this letter. I did not, nor did anyone else, have knowledge of Giggles' wishes or else I myself would have tried to stop it. I wish you good luck in your search.
Sincerely,
Thaddeus Howlhouse
Minister of Magic

Now, you see? Big trouble brewing here. I totally understand Hermione's shock. Can you imagine waking up all jolly and happy only to find out that this idiot Giddilus Giggles decided to run everyone's love life? I would be pretty pissed off myself. Well. Let's hope Hermione can keep a cool head when she sees Draco at school. The last thing I need is a rip-roaring headache from those two having it out. On the other hand, I wonder what Draco's reaction to the letter would be? I mean, duh, he must have gotten the same letter. Oh dear, I really hope those two can work out their differences…
