AN: All of the characters are JK Rowlings. I will only way this once. I only own the plot. Finally, a fan fic that goes the way I want it to :-)

Hermione Granger, now a sixth year at Hogwarts, looked up from her breakfast and across the Great Hall towards the Slytherin table. That was where Draco Malfoy always sat, squished between his two cronies, Crabbe and Goyle. Hermione had always liked Draco, but her two best friends, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter, hated him.....



"Herm, are you staring at the Hufflepuffs again?" Harry asked.



"No way," she snapped back.



"Ok, um, don't eat me, but what classes do we have today?"



"Double Potions with Slytherin, Charms, Transfiguration, DADA, and Herbology."



"That it?" Harry was scribbling down her answer.



"And Care of Magical Creatures."



"K, thanks Herm." Harry got up and left the table. Hermione grabbed her books and trailed after Harry.



Hermione attended Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was now sixteen, and in her sixth year. She, Ron, and Harry were all in Gryfinndor, one of the four houses. Each house was named after one of the four founders, who were Godric Gryfinndor, Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin, and Rowena Ravenclaw. Draco was in Slytherin. Draco........



"Hey, mudblood!" Draco yelled at her. "Got any kisses from Potty today?"



Hermione wheeled around and slapped him.



"No, I haven't, but I'd be careful Malfoy. You keep forgetting that I am the Transfiguration Queen. Pick and animal Malfoy. Any Animal."



"Look, Granger," he whispered. "I wanna talk to you. Will you wait after Potions?"



"Sure. But hurry or you'll be waiting until after dinner to talk. I don't have any spares today." Hermione walked inside the classroom and waited for Snape to begin.



"Today, we will be doing Love Potions. Now, the Ministry of Magic has outlawed these, but sixth years are required to spend two week on them." With that intro, Snape got out his ingredients and kept talking. "The main ingredients in this potion are wolfsbane, dragon blood, and unicorn horn....." Hermione dozed off.



"Hermione, wake up, class is done. You slept through the whole thing." Ron poked her.



"Did you take notes?"



"Yep. You really should drop Arithmancy. You're exhausted."



"I have to hurry. Malfoy needs to talk with me."



"What the he-"



"RON, HELP!"



"Don't worry, I'll take you're stuff to charms. Go talk to the Death Eater."



"Ron...." Hermione said warningly,



"Fine."



Hermione rushed out of the classroom.

Where is she? Draco thought. I don't want to wait any longer to tell her how I feel. I can't believe I'm in love with a mudblood. My father is gonna kill me.



"Draco?" Hermione called out. "Where are you?"



"Over here." He stepped out of the shadows.
