Chapter 1: Partners For Two Weeks (Damn!)

Hermione was entering the Potions classroom very quietly when…

---"Urghhh!!! Damn you Mudblood!"

Hermione turned around and saw…None other than pureblood Mr. Malfoy.

"What? I didn't even do anything to you Malfoy!" Hermione asked with confusion.

"If you didn't know Mudblood…you touched me." Spat Malfoy with disgust in his face.

"Oh…Man! Now I have to go to the bathroom to wash my hands…you see Granger…I don't want mud blood sliming up on me…" he added with an obvious smirk on his face.

And he ran into the bathroom…While Hermione entered the dungeons shaking his head.

Hermione Granger is a 4th year student in Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She is also the top student in their year. Besides that, she is always seen with her two best friends, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter. Hermione was often called a know-it-all, which is true, but Hermione always finds means to have a good social life. She was also one of the prettiest and most popular girls in school. She had Hazel-Brown eyes, smooth skin, straight nose, full luscious lips and curly hair (which is kinda cute).

Now, to Draco Malfoy, things are different. To start, Draco is a pureblood wizard. He came from a family who detested wizard or witches who are muggle- born, or to his vocabulary 'Mudblood.' He had white blond hair, pale but smooth skin, dark gray eyes, straight nose, rosy lips and a very muscular body ('coz of Quidditch). He was also a top student and a Quidditch player. He is always with his rather large but stupid cronies, Crabbe and Goyle.

Now on with the story…

The Potions door open and Malfoy entered the room. He was late but Malfoy always had ways to excuse himself to Snape.

After Draco excused himself, Snape announced that they would be grouped into two to make a rather difficult potion, which will be brewed and stewed for 2 weeks.

To Hermione's disgust, his partner was Malfoy.

Hermione chose not to speak to him and began to cut the ingredients.

Malfoy cut the silence-- "Granger, so quiet there. Come on, where gonna be together for 2 weeks. Might as well get to know each other."

Hermione looked at him and saw a smirk in face and just rolled her eyes.

After 45 minutes, which like took forever for Hermione, Snape gathered them all and said "Now all of you, I must tell you that the potion you are making is quite complex…It should only be brewed during night. And because our classes are due morning, we cannot make it here. So, I must ask you to meet with your partner every night to complete your potion. The potion is due in two weeks. You may leave."

Hermione mouthed complaints silently in the air

'Two weeks? Every night? With Malfoy…Urghh…This is gonna be hell'

Meanwhile, Malfoy wasn't pleased either.

'Two weeks? At night? With that Mudblood…that's bullshit!'

"Don't worry Hermione! You can do it. If he tries anything just jinx him!"

"Yeah! Show him that Full Body Curse!"

Ron and Harry had been comforting Hermione all day after potions. The thought of having Draco Malfoy as a partner is like a nightmare.

After dinner, Hermione braved the Slytherin tables and talked to Malfoy.

"Hey Malfoy!" Hermione called.

Malfoy turned around and saw Hermione.

"What do you want mudblood?"

"Well…I just came here to say that we should arrange for our potions making meeting. Were do we meet?"

Malfoy looked at her and for minutes he was silent and was obviously thinking. Ron and Harry had been watching her from the Gryffindor table. They looked worried. Hermione gave them an 'okay' sign and the two boys smiled.

After 3 minutes—Malfoy seemed to have decided.

"In the student's study room down the library…that should be okay"

"Well…that seems to be an good place. Okay, 9:00 PM later. Study Room. Catch yah later!"

Hermione was about to leave, when an idea stuck into her.

--It's Hermione by the way, Hermione Granger. Not Mudblood. She said in a very cool way and walked away with a smile plastered in her face.
