Author Note:

Okay this is my FIRST FanFic so keep that in mind while reading this.

Rated M for later chapters IF I keep going with this story & that all depends on those who read it. Well I won't keep you any longer. ENJOY

There was one person only that could exceed him at everything. The one person, whom he truly loathed, was the one person he could not beat. Draco Malfoy sat in his usual seat in the back of the Potions classroom brooding over his again second best test score. Of course whom should he be second best to? None other than that stupid moodblood Hermione Granger. As he sat there staring at the back of her head, loathing her, he could not help but admire her. She is, after all, brilliant…and beautiful, sexy…NO DAMNIT MALFOY WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU THINKING!?!? She is a MOODBLOOD for Merlin sakes!

Draco Malfoy was not used to being second best. No matter how hard he tried, no matter how hard he studied, she always came out on top and he hated her for it. He decided that it was time for a change. Desperate times called for desperate measures. As soon as class let out, Draco headed for the Slytherin common room to come up with a plan. He was sick and tired of being shown up by her in everything, so he was going to find a way to humiliate her.

Hermione Granger woke up one morning with the feeling that today was going to be a day like any other—a fun filled day of studying and homework. She got dressed, walked down to the common room and saw an unusual amount of people around the chair that she always studied in. Ron turned around and said,

"OOOOOOHHH Hermione! You got yourself a secret lover, eh?" said Ron who was about to open the card, but waited for her to get there.

"Oh shut up Ron. Wait what the bloody hell are you talking…" her voice trailed off as she saw what was awaiting her in the chair, a large bouquet of red roses with her name on them.

"Who are they from?" she asked as she walked over to them and picked them up. She looked at the card and read it aloud:

My Dearest Hermione,

What a gorgeous woman you have turned out to be. I am so glad we got together last night. I hope you aren't too tired to do your school work today ;) I am completely head over heels in love with you and I hope that you take these flowers as a symbol of the love and admiration I have for you. I love you Hermione.

Draco Malfoy

"What the bloody hell is this Hermionie? DRACO MALFOY? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING?" yelled Ron.

"I HAVE NO IDEA RON!" Hermione screamed, tears welling up in her eyes at the thought of her reputation being shot by this stupid joke. "I swear I didn't. Ronald" she said as she tried to calm herself "you know I would n-never do anything l-like this. Y-you know me."

"NO HERMIONE, I THOUGHT I KNEW YOU! AND NOW HERE YOU ARE SLEEPING WITH THE enemy!" Ron shouted as the stormed out of the room.

Then she began to cry. How could he do this to me? I knew he was evil and all he was trying to do with the other jokes was get a rise out of me, but how could he be so cruel?

All day she had to sit through class after class and endure people staring at her. She even caught a few people talking about her behind her back. It was lucky for Malfoy that she didn't have any classes with him that day because all she could think of was jinxing him out of his mind.

Draco was prowling the corridors that night as usual trying to find somewhere to get into trouble, but as he turned the corner, he heard something that stopped him in his tracks. It was a girl, crying. He could not see who she was, but as he started to walk near her he realized that it was Hermione Granger. What the bloody hell is she doing out here in the middle of the night without even using stupid Potter's invisibility cloak? He thought as he bent down to get a good look at her face. At that point he realized how breathtakingly beautiful she was. NO, Draco, what the fuck are you thinking. This moodblood is NOT beautiful! Shes is a moodblood and that is all she will be to me. Then why do I actually feel sorry for her? This was a new one for Draco. Out of all the things he had put her through, he had never actually thought that one of his little stunts could make her cry.

"Go away whoever you are." Hermione sobbed with her head still between her knees not looking up. The sound of her voice startled Draco out of his thoughts.

"Granger what do you think you are doing out here?" he said shocked at the sound of fury in his own voice. This made her look up at him.

"Malfoy? WHAT THE HELL KIND OF A STUNT WAS THAT?"

He couldn't help but smirk at her seeing as he she was showing just how much he got to her. "Keep your voice down Granger or someone will hear you. Look I have something to say to you…" the words were just coming out of his mouth before he even realized what he was saying.

"What Malfoy? Why can't you just leave me alone and go fuck off with one of your little skank girlfriends?"

"Look…I just wanted to say...I'm sorry." The words came out of his mouth with surprising ease seeing as he had never said them and actually meant them as he did now.

"Is this some kind of a joke, Malfoy?" she spat back at him.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Okay well I don't know really how well that was written. I was about to fall asleep one night &…well it just popped into my head & I figured I should write it before I forgot it. PLEASE criticize as much as possible. I love it! Yeah it sounds weird, but I think it TOTALLY makes my work better when people more experienced than me tell me what I am doing wrong. Okay wow that was a totally POINTLESS ramble. Please REVIEW whether if I should keep on with it.
