Chapter 1- Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time there was a boy and a girl. She had brown curly hair, brown eyes, and a kind face. He had white- blond hair, silver eyes, and a face that had seen many horrors. Forced to be enemies due to blood lineage, they never knew how much they had in common. Enemies up until one fateful day.

She had never known of His desire to belong somewhere peacefully and happily. No, She only saw Him as many saw him, an evil boy, following in His father's footsteps. And He saw Her as many did, filth. Tainted blood that should not have been anywhere in the world He lived in. Nor did He know of Her longing to find love and happiness. Never did they get along, and never did they plan to.

For She was Hermione.

And He was Draco.

They hated each other for years, due only to blood. Yet each longed to be free of what held them in their life: for Draco, His father; and for Hermione, Her blood. Each longed, but never did they expect to get anywhere. For She was Hermione, and He was Draco.

Each wanted to seek what they wanted most in life: Love. Never would they have expected to find it in each other either.

One morning, one dreary rain filled morning, this morning that has made all the difference, is where our story will start. He looked up from his feet, at the same time She did. And their eyes connected from across the room that was filled with people. Filled with those people whom were Her friends, and His enemies. Also filled with His friends and Her enemies.

Just the fact that His friends were Her enemies, and Her friends were His enemies should be enough for them to not even want to look anywhere near each other. But Fate works in weird ways. These two, both 16, wanted to get away from what kept them separate from everybody.

For Hermione, she wanted only to get away and not have to worry about being treated differently due to being Harry Potter's best friend, or being treated differently because she was a muggle born.

And Draco, he simply wanted to be rid of the horrible power that came from being a Malfoy, he wanted to bring peace to his family name, instead of being treated scorn, or having people tremble with fright just knowing who his family was.

But the look is where we begin. In that look held many things. It held final understanding of each other, and their lives. It held what each wanted to find, and it held the fact that there was no denying that their once separate lives needed to be brought together.

But neither wanted to act on that look, of course. For She was Hermione, and He was Draco.

This look that these two outcasts share is where our story will begin. It will start as any does, a once upon a time. This story will have two main characters, who start out as enemies, and will continue with a plot on how their lives are brought together.

This is the story of how Hermione Granger, muggleborn witch in Gryffindor, the smartest of her year and a few others above her at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, became allies- and possibly something else- with Draco Malfoy, pureblooded Slytherin, and quite possibly the only one to match Hermione in book smarts.

This tale begins in Hermione and Draco's sixth year at Hogwarts, starting from the summer before they start, and finishing much later in their lives.

This is the story of how the entire world was saved from the evil Voldemort, by Harry Potter, with the help of his two best friends, and once long time enemy.

So Tell me what you all think! Reviews are welcomed and loved! Tell me if I should keep this up!
