Chapter 1: Hermione's Re-accruing Dream

"Hermione look up at the stars!" a voice said. Hermione looked up at all the shinning stars

"Wow there so pretty!" six-year-old Hermione whispered.

"You want to go down by the river?" The little boy beside her asked.

"Sure!" Hermione and the little boy stood up, they took each other's hand and walked down by the river.

"Here Hermione I got this for you!" The boy said, handing Hermione a pink and purple butterfly key chain.

"Oh it's so pretty, thank you D-"

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" came an ice-cold voice.

"Miss Granger? What do you think you're doing?" Came Professor Snapes voice. Six-teen-year-old Hermione Granger woke up from the re-accruing dream she has been having lately. Every time she was about to say his name a voice would stop her from saying who it was, stopping her from finding out his identity. Unfortunately this time it was Snape.

"Miss Granger!" He said again.

Hermione slowly opened her eyes but she wished she hadn't Professor Snapes glare could have scared the dead to stay dead.

"Why were you sleeping in my class?" Snape shot.

"So-sorry sir..." Hermione started but was cut off by Snapes hand singling her to stop.

"Save it Miss Granger, Lets hope it doesn't happen again, fifty points from Gryffindor, class dismissed," Snape said, walking back over to his desk.

Everyone in the class started to pack their bags and leave the classroom, Harry and Ron walked over to where Hermione was sitting and looked at her.

"Hermione what's wrong? This is you're forth time falling asleep in a class!" Harry said in a concern voice. Hermione just looked up at her two friends. She stood up and put her bag on.

"Oh don't worry about it, maybe I'm just not getting enough sleep," Hermione said.

"Are you sure?" asked Ron.

"Yeah, come on lets go before we're late for Transfigurations," Hermione said, as they started to walk out of Potions.

As the Golden Trio walked into the classroom where Transfigurations was, they noticed a drawing on the black board. It was a seating plan. Harry, Ron and Hermione made their way up to the board to see where they sat. They all had a disappointed look on their face when they saw who they sat with.

"I can't believe she would do this, I have to sit with Goyle!" Ron whined.

"I have Crabbe, the stupidest out of everyone in Slytherin," Harry said.

"You too should consider yourself lucky, I have to sit with Malfoy!" Hermione said. They all groaned and made their way to their seats. To Hermione's surprise Malfoy was already their books all set out and waiting for classes to start.

"I can't believe I got stuck with you," Draco said, sounding bored.

"It's no picnic for me either!" Hermione shot, taking her seat next to him, and getting out all of her supplies, before McGonagal walked in.

"Hermione you coming down to dinner?" Hermione's new roommate Lily, From Hufflepuff asked.

"Umm yeah I guess," Hermione said, putting down her reading book. Just as Lily and Hermione were about to exit the common room, the portrait opened and a very angry looking Draco stepped inside.

"What's wrong with you?" Hermione asked, with very little concern. Draco just looked at her.

"As if you don't know!" Draco said walking towards his chair and sitting. Hermione turned around and faced back to Lily.

"Go on with out me Lily I'll be there in a minute," Lily said nothing she just nodded and walked out of the portrait. Hermione slowly walked over to Draco.

"Malfoy?"

"What!"

"What in the world is wrong with you?" Hermione shouted, fed up with the way he was always cold towards her.

"Look!" Draco shouted standing up. "Just leave me alone, for some reason it seems like you can't!"

"What are you talking about?" Hermione shouted a little steamed.

"I mean first you become a prefect, and then you get paired up with me in Transfigurations!" Draco shot.

"Do you think I had something to do with that!" Hermione shouted.

"Yes!"

"Malfoy you are such a stuck up little ferret!" Hermione shouted, she turned on her heal and was about to exit the common room when she turned back to face Draco.

"You know, just because you're in a bad mood, don't take it out on me! And next time don't think of a lie to tell me when I know that's not the reason!" With that she disappeared.

Hermione took her seat at the Gryffindor table, beside Harry and Ron. When she sat down she looked up just in time to see Draco sit down at the Slytherin table. Her face turned red with anger and she faced down to her plate.

"So Hermione do you know what the announcement is?' Ron asked. Biting into some chicken.
"What announcement?" Hermione asked.

Draco sat down at the Slytherin table, just as he looked up at the Gryffindor table, he saw a pair of brown eyes turn away from him and facing her food. The eyes belonged to Hermione.

"Drakie, do you know what the big announcement is?" Pansy asked, putting her arm around his.

"No I don't!" He shot; he then turned to the Professors table to see two new faces.

"What the...?" He thought. "Hey wait a minute I saw that lady in the hall today!"

Draco was walking back to his common room just as he turned the corner,

Whack!

Draco knocked into someone sending then both flying. Draco, who was out raged, stood up.

"Watch where you're going next time!" Draco shot; turning his gaze from his robe to the person he knocked into. To his surprise it was a woman, a woman he had never seen before.

"I'm sorry I should have been watching my step, yet so should have you!" The woman said, standing up. "Hi I'm Professor Step, Prof. Widdle and I are new here, we're teaching a new course!" Professor Step said, as she bent down and picked her bag and Draco's book up off the floor.

"Uhh..Thanks." Draco said. "New course huh? What is it?"

"Oh you'll see but I will promise you, it'll be lots of fun," Professor Step gave a smirk then walked away, leaving a pissed off Draco.

"First she bumps into me, then touches my stuff, then tells me there's going to be a new course and won't tell me what!" Draco whispered to himself angrily, while stomping away to his common room. Just as he got to the portrait of the common room, the portrait swung open revealing Hermione and Lily, who we're shocked to see him there.

Draco scanned the Professors table again. He looked at Professor Step he had to admit, out of all the Professors in Hogwarts, she was pretty. She had long golden hair that went down past her butt, her face was really pretty, looked like an angel to him. She was so delicate and he swore she only looked to be eighteen. He then turned his gaze to the man beside her. He had short black hair that was spiked up, he could tell by his position that he was tall. And by the looks of it he was nineteen or twenty.

"Must be Professor. Widdle," Draco thought, and then turned back down to his food to finish eating.

"Hey Hermione look at the Professors table!" Harry said, pointing his hand. Hermione looked up to see two new faces. A very pretty woman and a cute man she had to admit he was way hotter then Viktor, or even Lockheart.

"I wonder who they are?" Ron asked. As if being heard, Dumbledore stood up.

"May I have your attention please!" Dumbledore said, and everyone went silent giving him full attention. "You're probably wondering why there are two new faces at this table!" At this the women and man stood up smiling. "Well this is an interesting announcement, you see there is going to be a new course in Hogwarts," At this everyone started to whisper. Professor Dumbledore pointed his wand to his throat and cleared it making everyone go silent again. "As I was saying, there will be a new course at Hogwarts. I know we're three months into the school year, but I thought it's better now then never. Now I'll let Professor Step take over!" Dumbledore said as he pointed to the female with his hand.

"Thank you Headmaster," said Prof. Step. She then turned to the students. "My name is Professor Step, this here is my partner Prof. Widdle, now the Headmaster is correct there is going to be a new course! Does anyone now what Dance is?"
