Summary: Angelina and Draco have made a deal- one that has brought them together, in a combined effort to destroy Gryffindor house. The unlikely team, however, discover the tip of an iceberg that has the potential to devastate the entire wizarding world.

Disclaimer: DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE PAIRING OF ANGELINA AND DRACO. I don't want to receive flames only because of that reason. Constructive criticism is always welcomed, and even respected (because it helps me to write better). The main character's used in this story are NOT mine (if they were I'd have a castle in Scotland). They belong to the extremely clever, talented, and much adored J.K. Rowling.

Authors Note: This is an idea I've been working on since the summer. The thought came about because I imagined something a little different from the norm. Though Draco/Ginny fanfiction are my favourite, I was readily becoming tired of only slight variations of the same plot- the plot being- of course- how Ginny and Draco get together. So, since Draco is my favourite person in fanfiction, I decided to keep him and think of an unusual person to pair him with... hence Angelina/Draco. I know Angelina is two years older than Draco in the actual book, but- for the purposes of this story- I've made them the same age (17). On a side- I really hope you enjoy the story!

Rating: I'm posting in both the PG-13 and R divisions. I am doing this only because I've found that, sometimes when author's post in the R section they get fewer reviews than if they had posted in the PG-13 section. Ahhh... and here I am sounding arrogant- as if I expect a hoard of reviews as soon as I upload. What can I say? I'm human, so positive feedback is always nice; but if no one reviews, it's okay, because reviews are not my only incentive for continuing this story. I email the chapters privately to my friends who tell me they're intrigued. So I'll maintain writing it, even if it fails here.

Enjoy!





*Prologue*

The deal was in effect. Draco and I were officially partners.

The plan?

Find out as much incriminating information about the Gryffindor's as sneakily possible.

The goal?

Well I haven't really figured out what the goal is yet- but as soon as I do we'll use the said i.i. (incriminating info) to bring them down.

The question is though... do I have these people pegged wrong? Am I a traitor? Am I doing the right thing? I don't know, but I've had about enough of those self-righteous Gryffindor's as I can take. They've been meaner to me than any Slytherin (though they too have had their share of ill jokers) and in some people's cases twice as underhanded. They've made me an outcast in my own house- almost viral. And the few that aren't party to that group are so caught up in being deprecating and condescending towards anyone who won't jump to be the first in line to lay their neck down on a block for the good of mankind- not to say that I'm not courageous or why else would I be a Gryffindor- that they don't even realize how deprecating and condescending they are!

So if finally retaliating against the despicable treatment of all my housemates is being a traitor. then fine!!! I'll sew a bright green capital T on my cloak so everyone can know how thoroughly I despise them.

I took a deep breath as I hurried to the lab. I needed a good rant. And besides, the sane part of me needed that rant to logically put together in my mind why I was working with *Draco* of all people to accomplish my plan.

'You know why' a tiny voice said.

'Yeah; but besides that impossible notion, why am I really working with him?'

'Cause he's the coldest person you know' another voice quickly supplied.

I shook my head.

Enough of that. There were only two hours left before dinner, which gave us about forty minutes to do the real potions assignment and an hour to- well- review notes.
