Disclaimer: I own nothing! Some of the plot is based on the movie "A Walk To Remember," but other than that, the only thing I own is the plot.

A/N: Like I said in the disclaimer, some parts of this is story comes from the movie "A Walk To Remember". This is also gonna be a Draco/Hermione fic. Don't like, don't read, it's that simple. I don't want any hate mail. Anyways, here's the fic…

"Today, we will be making the truth potion, Veritaserum," Snape drawled as he started to write the instructions on the board. Hermione's hand shot up in the air. "Yes Mrs. Granger. What is it?"

"Professor, we already made this potion," Hermione stated.

"Well then Mrs. Granger, you should be able to make if perfectly then, shouldn't you? Start copying down the instructions," Snape said. Hermione did as she was told. She looked over at Harry, who just shrugged his shoulders at her and continued writing.

After they got the steps wrote down, the students got the ingredients and started preparing them for the potion. Harry and Ron decided to work together, but Hermione worked by herself. She always worked better on her own, so that's what she decided to do. When she passed in her potion at the end of class, hers was the only one that was perfectly clear, like the potion should be. Snape just snickered and Hermione hurried off to Transfiguration.

Hermione sat down in her usual seat between Ron and Harry. McGonagall told the class that they would be practicing some of the transfigurations that they have done in previous years. She wrote on the board which ones she wanted them to practice, including the hardest one that they had been asked to do so far. Hermione, of course, was the only student who could perform the spell correctly. At the end of class, McGonagall set them an essay on their favorite transfiguration. They had to state the spell, explain it in detail, and tell why it was their favorite.

"Granger, I need your help," an exasperated Draco said to a shocked Hermione one day after Potions class.

"What on earth could you possibly need my help with Malfoy? I'm just a filthy little mudblood remember?" Hermione glared at him before walking off.

"Listen Hermione, I'm serious. I really need your help. I'm flunking out of Transfiguration and I NEED to get an E on my NEWTs or I have to stay back at Hogwarts for another year."

"Whoa, did you just call me Hermione?" she asked, stunned. Draco had never EVER called her Hermione. This must be serious she thought.

"Yes, I just called you Hermione," Draco said, getting frustrated. "So are you gonna help me or what?" By now, he was getting irritated.

"Yeah, I'll help you, but you have to promise me one thing," she said, looking at him seriously.

Oh great, I knew there was a catch, he thought to himself. "And what would that be?"

"You have to promise not to fall in love with me," she said, her brown eyes softening as she looked up at him.

"I think that can be arranged. You're so full of yourself Granger."

"I'll meet you in the library tonight at 10. Don't be late," Hermione said, and she spun on her heel and walked off towards her common room. He just stared at her in disbelief as she walked off. Did she really think that he would fall in love with her? Like she said, she was just a filthy little mudblood; one with a sexy ass he should add.

A/N: First chapter done! I know it's short, but I just wanted to get an intro done first. I'm gonna work on the next chapter right now, so hopefully it should be up soon.
