Ron was panicking. 'Bloody hell, I'm gonna fail!' he whispered to Harry, who nodded, trying to stop his potion from exploding in his face for a third time. They simultaneously looked at Hermione, who was, after all, the class brain, and always helped them out. But this time, she seemed different, and not in a good way. A pale blue smoke was rising from her cauldron, and she was frantically flipping the pages of her textbook, a worried expression plastered on her face. Ron bit his lip and turned to Harry, 'Guess we're just gonna fail,' and the hopeful smile on his face slowly morphed into a frightened grimace.

Hermione could feel tiny beads of sweat running down her face. 'Come on, come on!' she muttered, clearly panicked. Professor Snape noticed hey discomfort, and smiled grimly. 'We shall be testing your potions on you all, so make sure that you have them correct.' This sentence caused stricken looks to appear on the faces of all Gryffindors, whilst the Slytherins got Snape to come over to help them. Ron and Harry were especially worried, since they seemed to be very far from what they were supposed to have done, and Hermione was rather panicked too, since not only this was the first time her potion was unsatisfactory and would affect her grade and reputation, but she might be mutated or something!

Draco Malfoy was an... unusual boy. He smirked instead of smiling, he loved to hurt the most famous and popular people, yet it does not affect him in any way. Teachers, well, some love him, while the others hate him, yet they try not to show it. And he was the most popular boy in Slytherin, although that might not be due to his kindness or style, but due to the fact that if you didn't like him, then goodbye to you forever. Draco shivered slightly. His potion would work, even if it wasn't perfect, and Snape would pass him. But to make him best... someone has to be worse. A smirk flickered. Draco reached into him pocket and pulled out a small bottle of Veritaserum.

'Hello, Granger,' drawled a voice in her ear. 'Need some help?' Hermione frowned and looked up, only to see Draco Malfoy standing next to her. 'What do you want, Malfoy?' she asked him haughtily. He simply smirked back at her, 'I do believe that your potion is... not quite up to the standards. Do you require any... ah... help?'

It struck Hermione then, was he serious or was he just up to his tricks? She decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. 'Fine,' she sighed. Don't do much, though, and if this messes up there'll be hell to pay, OK?' Draco nodded. He decided to prove that he would help... first. He fixed her potion so that it looked correct, but he had no idea what it would do, and Hermione gasped. 'You fixed it!' she blurted out. Draco merely smirked his signature smirk. 'You can handle the rest?' Hermione nodded, her cheeks slightly flushed. She turned away for a second. Draco pulled out the bottle of Veritaserum and dropped three drops into the cauldron, where it made no difference. He quickly stuffed it back into his pocket and walked away slowly, then turned around slightly and the air gently carried Hermione's words over to him. 'Thanks,' it whispered softly in his ear. He shook his head, trying to get her soft voice out of his head.

Snape smiled, although there was nothing happy about it. 'Testing time,' he whispered, 'Granger. Up.' With a quick glance at Draco, she hurried over to Snape's desk. He held out a vial he had filled with her potion. 'Drink.'

(A/N: This bit's in Hermione point of view. She can think regularly, it's just that when she talks she ends up saying lines of songs.)
Eurgh! It's so gross! Let me out of here, stop it! I can't believe he's actually making me drink this... it's horrible... but I think I'm okay, everything's coming into focus now... there's Malfoy, smiling... wait, did I just say smiling and Malfoy in the same sentence?!?! God, I'm cracking up... Anyway, Snape is nodding, but he looks kind of mad... ooh, serves him right! Wait, I can sit down now...

Harry tapped Hermione on the shoulder the minute she sat down. 'How're you feeling?' he asked, concerned at the fact that she hadn't looked too happy up there. Hermione smiled slightly. 'Too divi-i-ine...' Her expression suddenly changed to shocked. 'I'm confusing as hell...' She clamped her hand over her mouth, and when Snape dismissed the class she hurried out faster than anyone else.
