A/N: First chapter in my latest Dramione fan fic, I'm really excited about this. It came to me in a dream haha :) please review :)

Draco walked through the corridor with his head held high. He knew all the woman wanted him, and he wished that he actually felt something for one of them. He hated that he couldn't feel any love for them. Maybe that was why he had agreed to be a death eater.

He absentmindedly kicked a small rock on the ground. He watched it as it flung up and hit someone.

"Sorry." He muttered before realising what he had said and scurrying off.

Hermione looked round to see Draco Malfoy walking off hurriedly. Had he just apologised to her? No. She must of been imagining it. She composed herself and headed to her next class.

She couldn't focus in potions. All she could think about was Draco being so out of character. She looked over at him and their eyes locked briefly before Draco looked back down and carried on writing.

Draco stared absentmindedly and found himself looking into Hermione's eyes. As he realised he looked down and tried to get back to his writing but couldn't focus. Hermione had pretty eyes. Damn it Draco, she's a mudblood. There's nothing pretty about her, she is vermin, he thought to himself angrily.

When the lesson was over, Draco headed to the Great Hall. He didn't want to be there with every one, because it was too crowded and no one understood what he was going through, but he needed to eat. The noise hit him as he walked through the giant double doors. It was a mixture of rowdy students and a buzz of excitement in the air. He didn't like it at all. Why couldn't they do dorm delivery service?

Hermione walked in and took her place between Harry and Ron at the Gryffindor dinner table. Ron was eating a turkey leg so fast that anyone would think he hadn't eaten in a week. He had already eaten almost a whole plateful of food. She smiled to herself and try to catch up with the conversation, but it was difficult trying to understand two men talking whilst they had their mouthfuls. She slapped them both on the arm and told them to not be so rude and stop chewing and talking at the same time.

When they had finished eating, they headed back to the Gryffindor common room to work on their Transfiguration homework.

Draco got up and walked back to his dorm slowly, he didn't want to be in the common room for the same reason he didn't want to be in the Great Hall, only the common room he could avoid. As he walked through the door of his room he noticed a chocolate frog on his bed. It was probably from Pansy, she was always trying to get with him to no avail. He tore the frog from its packet and bit it's legs off before it could run away. He started reading a textbook that Snape had recommended to him, and quickly felt his eyelids getting heavy, and his head was fuzzy.

When he awoke, the sun was rising. His head was clear again, and he knew what he wanted, or rather who he wanted.

Hermione Granger.

Hermione woke up and got ready for the day ahead. She double checked her back that she had packed the night before, showered, rechecked her bag, got dressed and did a little light reading all before heading down to the Great Hall. She usually got there first as everyone else opted for the later breakfast time. This time there was a blonde haired boy waiting at her table. She walked up to him with caution, and asked him what he was doing at the Gryffindor table. His grey eyes met hers and he jumped up at once.

"Hermione my love, you have arrived. Let me get you some orange juice." Draco said.

"Is this some sort of wind up? Because I'm not falling for it, I'm not an idiot." She replied angrily.

"No my dear, I want to please you and serve you. That is my only wish in life." He told her.

"Come out Blaise, I know you are probably filming this or something. I'm not taking the bait Malfoy."

"But this isn't a joke, I mean it."

"You're taking this way too far." She half shouted.

With that she grabbed a banana off of the table and walked out of the hall. So that was why he apologised yesterday, it was because he was planning to set her up. How dare he.

Draco stared into the empty space where Hermione had just been standing. He didn't understand why she didn't get it. He loved her. He ran out after her and tried to catch her up, but couldn't see her anywhere.

What Draco didn't notice, as he walked off to his first lesson was someone coming out of the Great Hall laughing hysterically.

"Now I bet you wish that you hadn't made Pansy want you instead of me. Revenge is sweet." Blaise muttered under his breathe.
