A/N- So this is actually going to be multi-chaptered. I already have four chapters written (out of about five or six) and yes, they are all about this length. It's just meant to be a light read, short and sweet. I'll post the next chappie when I can, probably within a couple days.

Disclaimer- Nope. Not mine.

'It has come to my attention, oh all-mighty Granger, mudblood queen, that you are afraid.'

Draco Malfoy leaned over their shared cauldron to whisper tauntingly in the Gryffindor's ear. She furrowed her brow, but kept working. It was not long, however, before curiosity overcame her.

'Afraid? Afraid of what? I'm not afraid of anything!' she hissed, chopping furiously at her mandrake root.

'Ah, that's what you'd like people to believe. But it's not true, you know.'

Chop, chop, chop.

'You, Hermione Granger, are afraid of life.'

The brunette's knife slipped, clattering to the floor.
