Strangely I am yours
Hermione Granger didn't care about Draco Malfoy and he didn't care about her. This arrangement would perfectly for them until they get paired for a potions assignment. An incident with a love potion changes their lives forever.
Chapter 1
Hermione didn't like this one bit. She thought today was going to be a good day. She woke up this morning feeling well rested and had a nice breakfast. So, why did it have to go downhill? She thought back to when it started to go wrong.
"Ron!" she cried, "We're going to be late if you don't hurry!" Ron quickly stuffed the last of his pancake and scowled and Hermione. She felt guilty, she knew he didn't like to be rushed when he was eating, nobody does. But they were going to be late for Potions if he didn't hurry.
"Blimey Hermione!" cried Ron "You couldn't let me eat in peace, could you?" he asked, "I'm sorry Ron, but I just didn't want to face Snape's wrath today." Harry looked at her, "Who wants to face Snape any day?" he asked, the three of them exchanged looks, "Slytherines." They answered simultaneously; they laughed and headed to class.
When they entered Ron was attacked by a paper ball, Hermione sighed 'Oh Malfoy'. Just as predicted, when they turned around there was Draco Malfoy laughing at Ron's red face. Hermione always thought that Draco was handsome in his own way.
He had white blonde hair, grey eyes and was scarily pale. He was tall and intimidating. He had that rare beauty, the one that came from being part of the aristocracy. He was like the Mona Lisa, to be admired from afar, he could not be kept. Such a beautiful and magical creature and then he opens his mouth…
"Really Malfoy, how old are you?" asked Harry clearly upset, Malfoy smirked, that was another thing, he never genuinely smiled he always smirked, scowled or laughed evilly and menacingly. "Come on it was a joke, no need to get your knickers in a twist."
The Slytherines behind him snickered but the Golden Trio kept their faces straight. Hermione was not in the mood for this, "Come on guys," she said softly to Harry and Ron, "Let's go."
"Listen to the mudblood." Said Draco, that one word changed everything, something ticked in Hermione, he had broken their unsaid rule about ignoring each other. Not it was on!
"Who do you think you are calling mudblood, you ferret!?" said Hermione, Draco looked mildly surprised and very angry. "What makes you think you talk to me like that, mudblood?" he said "What makes you think you can call me a mudblood?" she said "What makes you think I will let get away with calling me something like that?"
Ron and Harry felt like they should say something but they knew that whatever they wanted to say would not be appreciated. Snape chose that moment to enter his class. "What is going on here?" he asked, everyone went to their seats and stood quietly.
Once they greeted and sat Snape started the lesson, "Now that you are all settled, I will put you all in pairs to work on the Love Potion." They were meant to study about Love Potions for this lesson. "Now the pairs are Longbottom and Potter, Weasley and Parkinson, Crabbe and Goyle, Malfoy and Granger."
The Golden Trio groaned and sent each other sympathetic looks be fore going to their partners. Draco and Hermione worked quietly speaking only when they had to. Snape came to them and saw their potion which was a rose pink color.
"That looks ready try it." He said to Hermione she gaped at him "Try it!?" she exclaimed, "I have a cure Miss Granger don't worry." He said, she looked at him then to the potion and then back at him, and then she downed the potion. Everyone in the room was looking at her expectantly.
"Well Granger," said Draco, Hermione turned to look at him, "Did it work?" he asked, and she was looking at him softly, like he was something precious and delicate. He waved his hand in front of her face, "You okay there Granger?" he asked then she kissed him, her lips pressed firmly against his, it lasted only a second but that second turned Draco's world around.
"I'm suppose that answers your question Mr. Malfoy." Said Snape he turned around, "I'll go get the cure." When he left Hermione was still looking at Draco strangely, she looked confused and dazed "Why did I do that?" she asked
"It's the Love Potion don't worry." He said to her, she shook her head "But I wanted to do it." She argued, "Granger the Love Potion changes your thoughts, feelings and desires," he looked her in the eye "The Love Potion made you want it."
"Don't look me in the eye." she said now Draco was confused, "Why?" he asked, "My heart skips a beat every time you do." Draco was shocked and simply stared at her, "You really love me don't you?" he asked and she simply nodded
Snape entered with the cure as he was walking to their desk, Neville tripped over he his shoe laces, that was untied, and knocked into Snape sending the cure onto the floor. You could here a pin drop; everyone was still and silent as they looked at the spilt cure.
"Longbottom!"
Now Hermione and Draco were sitting inside Dumbledore's office telling their story with Snape and McGonagall. "So, Miss Granger is now in love with Mr. Malfoy." He said, the two in question nodded their heads "How long will it take for it to wear off now that there's no cure?" he asked Snape "8 Weeks for the most headmaster."
"Eight weeks!?" exclaimed Hermione, "But I can't be in love for eight weeks; I can't be in love period!"
"Why not?" asked Draco, Hermione looked at him, "Boys are a really big distraction, that I cannot afford especially now!" Draco could understand he and Granger are the Heads and could not afford to be distracted when they had a school to lead.
"I'm pretty sure you'll live Miss Granger." Said Snape, "I don't see what we can do, to make another cure will take to much time and effort." Said McGonagall "I agree lets just let the potion run its course until then," Dumbledore looked at Draco pointedly "I trust Mr. Malfoy that you would not take advantage of Miss Granger in her current situation." Draco face became as hard as stone, "Of course not!" he said sounding appalled, Hermione scoffed and looked at Draco, "Why, scared you'll infected by something," she looked and sounded pissed "Afraid you'll get dirty if you touch a mudblood?"
The room became deadly quieted as Draco and Hermione stared at each other. "If you'll excuse me Headmaster, I looked like to go to my room." She said looking at her feet "Of course you both are dismissed." Hermione literally ran out of the room.
She entered the dorm she shared with Malfoy and sat on the couch in front of the fire. Their common room was pretty small with a dining table, three couches, and a coffee table, fire place, two bedrooms, one bathroom and a door that lead to the kitchen and another that lead into the library.
Hermione put her head in her hands and began sobbing. Love hurts, she realized, it hurts a lot. Draco came in, "Why are you crying?" he asked "Because loving you hurts." She said choking on her sobs, Draco was torn a part of him wanted to comfort and the other wanted to go into his room and never come out.
"I know that it's a potion that it's not real,"she stood up and looked at him, "But I really love you." no one ever said that to him, no one had ever told him that they loved him, only his mother did. He walked closer to her cupped her face, his thumbs wiping away her tears.
She then pressed her lips against his; he moved his lips against hers. He could feel her love for him. It didn't scare him like he thought it would, it comforted him. Then she pulled away, she began to walk away muttering "I'm sorry, I'm sorry".
Draco could still taste her, she tasted like blueberries oddly. He didn't know what to make about this situation, he liked kissing, he liked that she loved him. It was new to him, an adventure! He wanted to try and see where it would lead him, but it was a potion.
The real Hermione Granger would kill him! She didn't like him never mind love. She called him ferret, ignored him, and treated him like he wasn't worth his time. As Draco went over these facts he started to realize that he liked the real Hermione Granger less than the new one.
