A/N: Hey there! So I'm madly in love with the Dramione pairing so I decided to make a fanfic about them! This is my first so be kind now, could you?

I sat up on my bed as I heard Ginny's soft voice waking me up.

"You're a heavy sleeper, aren't you?" Ginny sighed

I smiled then stood up feeling the hardwood floor of the room with my bare feet. I dressed up in my uniform and brushed my hair. Ginny sat on her bed, idling with its duvet while humming a lovely tune

After I was finished getting ready, Ginny and I proceeded to the Great Hall where the others had breakfast.

I spotted Ron and Harry eating breakfast across each other. I managed a smile

"Morning" I greeted sitting beside Harry

"Morning, Hermione" Harry greeted

"Ron-"I stopped midway. Ron was too busy munching on his sandwich making disgusting sounds to notice my arrival

He must have noticed me staring because after a few seconds he looked up at me "Oh hi there, Hermione."

"God, Ron!" I stammered "You eat like a troll"

Ron dismissed the remark and continued with his sandwich. Harry rolled his eyes and I did the same. I took a toast from the platter then quickly ate it. Even though the sight of Ron eating like a monster looks disgusting, he still doesn't fail to look attractive.

He held my gaze then he smiled

I felt my cheeks flush red; I shifted my head a little so that a part of my hair will cover my flustered cheeks.

The three of us chatted for a little while until it was time for my Potions class with Professor Slughorn

I jogged to the staircase that leads to the Dungeons. I walked along the darkly lit corridor leading to the classroom. Just then, a familiar voice came up from behind me.

"Look who we have here. It's the stinking mudblood" Malfoy hissed at me

Great

"Not now, Malfoy" I groaned

He had a dark grin plastered on his face. I didn't like it "Oh? And why is that?"

"I don't like talking to you" I frowned "I have a class to attend so if you'll excuse me-"

I was about to continue walking but Malfoy slid in front of me so I couldn't walk any further until he moved

"Move, Malfoy" I gritted through my teeth

He just smiled

"I swear if you don't move-"I struggled to find the words

His expression grew interested "What will you do, Granger?"

He said it like it was a challenge

But, I knew better than to have a bloodfest with a Malfoy

I said nothing

Malfoy grinned "Just as I thought"

He moved to the side with that smile still stuck on his face. He crossed his arms on his chest following me with his awful gaze. I just simply ignored him then continued to the Potions class, hoping I won't be late

I grunted at my tardiness. At least I got to sneak into class without getting noticed by Prof. Slughorn who was too busy introducing us to the Wiggenweld Potion. I sat at the back of the room where I usually sit. Just a few minutes after I walked in, Draco Malfoy entered the room. He slammed the door shut, startling Prof. Slughorn.

"Mr. Malfoy! Where have you been?"Prof. Slughorn asked looking at Malfoy with a hint of anger and disappointment

"Somewhere" Malfoy answered

Prof. Slughorn frowned "Tardiness is not welcomed in this class, Mr. Malfoy. Please avoid this kind of situation in the future, alright?"

Malfoy nodded then continued to sit on a vacant chair next to Blaise Zabini. The two laughed and exchanged high-fives.

"For today, we will be making the Wiggenweld potion" Prof. Slughorn clasped his hands together "The materials will be distributed momentarily but for now pair up!"

The agony of pairing up

For some reason, Harry and Ron aren't in class today. So I'm stuck with no one but myself

Everyone already had a pair except me

"Mr. Malfoy, can you come here please?" Prof. Slughorn called

He stood up then walked towards Prof. Slughorn. They began talking but I was too far away to hear. Malfoy's face turned into utter horror

"Ms. Granger, please?" Prof. Slughorn motioned for me to come to him

I did as I was told. Malfoy glared at me devilishly as I walked towards them

"Mr. Malfoy had done none of the experiments I told him to do for the past few months and I am worried for he is close to failing" Prof. Slughorn looked at both of us "I decided for Mr. Malfoy to change partners and since you are the brightest in this class I would like for you, Ms. Granger, to help him"

"What?" I almost shrieked "I'm sorry, professor. Are you suggesting that I pair up with Malfoy?"

"I'm not 'suggesting', Ms. Granger. I have decided for you to be permanently partnered with Mr. Malfoy" Prof. Slughorn said

This is a nightmare. A complete and utter nightmare. Anyone but Malfoy. Anyone but this horrible bloke.

"But, Professor Slughorn-"I looked for the right words but Prof. Slughorn stopped me

"Mr. Malfoy is in need of your help, Ms. Granger. I promise if Mr. Malfoy's grades improved all of it will be back to normal. " Prof. Slughorn pursed his lips.

I took a moment to think about this. Malfoy frowned beside me. Both of us don't like each other at all. It's a well-known fact

"Okay" I gave up "I'll help out Malfoy"

Malfoy looked at me, his eyes wide with shock

Prof. Slughorn smiled approvingly "Very well then! Both of you can go. I am very grateful, Ms. Granger"

I just simply nodded then went back to my usual table. The chair that was once owned by Harry now belonged to Draco Malfoy. He slid next to me, not saying anything and I did the same

Prof. Slughorn began distributing the ingredients for the potion. As soon as Prof. Slughorn distributed the ingredients which includes shredded dittany, moondew drop, a stewed mandrake and the like. I took out the cauldron from under the desk and carefully placed it on top.

"Incendio" A small fire appeared on the timber releasing hints of smoke

Malfoy glared at the cauldron devilishly. He still hasn't said anything

"Aren't you going to help?" It wasn't much of a question since I already know the answer

He just stared

Prof. Slughorn told the class the procedure on how to do the Wiggenweld potion. But, I already started before then. I was almost done but Malfoy still didn't move

"Look, I'm just as frustrated as you are. I hate you as much as you hate me and I'm good with that. If you can just help me out with this stupid potion so your grades will improve so that all of this will soon be over and you can go back with goofing off with Blaise Zabini and I can go back with being partners with Harry. I took in a deep breath before continuing "Malfoy, I hate you and I don't like being stuck with you. So, do me—or yourself a favor and help out already"

Finally, Malfoy looked at me but he still didn't do anything

I grunted in annoyance "Malfoy, you aggravating Slytherin twat"

He looked at me then unexpectedly, he laughed

Of all the things he could do, he chose to laugh.

"Why are you laughing?" Malfoy's laughter got me some irritated "Stop laughing!"

His laughter slowly faded. He looked at me with that grin

I hate that grin

"The brightest witch of our age just said 'twat' and it's all because of me" Malfoy grinned "I didn't know that such a bright student like you, Hermione Granger, can speak in such a vulgar language"

I glared at him frowning "Shut up, Malfoy"

"Say 'twat' one more time" Malfoy winked "Just one more, Granger"

"You are so appalling, Draco Malfoy" I spat out at him hoping he could be at least even a little insulted

But instead, he just gave me that grin

That damn gorgeous grin that I hated
