Hey guys I was toying with the idea for this story for a while and I've finally decided to put my pen to paper (figuratively of course).

I do not own Harry Potter or any other characters; J.K Rowling does! The storyline, however, is mine.

Ch.1


In Hogwarts castle, we find a man and woman who stand in front of a mirror, which is depicting a bickering pair of teens.

"They're at it again, Albus," Esmeralda Claw said in an exasperated voice.

Sighing, the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry looked up from the mirror and turned to face his colleague. "Indeed they are," he said tiredly.

Esmeralda Claw was the actual embodiment of all the magic of Hogwarts castle. She had aided all the previous headmasters and served as one of the main wards protecting Hogwarts from evil. Esmeralda had been one of the witches to help the founders of Hogwarts and had actually sealed her very soul in the building in order to protect the castle and inhabitants. And currently she was conversing with Professor Dumbledore about a situation that had occurred daily in the school.

After the war, all sixth years had been called back for their seventh year and Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy had been chosen as the Heads. And while Draco no longer taunted Hermione about her blood status, he found simple ways in which to annoy her to no end. And she in return would retaliate and it would eventually lead to a fight between the two. Even though they fought constantly, they two ultimately became friends. This had been a regular occurrence through the start of the year, and while many hinted that Draco's taunting of Hermione was simply a cover-up for other emotions, both of them denied having any feelings for the other except for irritation and annoyance.

And one such occurrence was being viewed from the Headmaster's office through his magic mirror.

Hermione had been in the library and was just about to finish a book on The Effects of Magic on Arthurian Legends, when she found it being snatched away from her. It seemed that Draco had been looking for her to discuss some Heads business and he couldn't help but take her book just to irritate her.

"Give me back my book," Hermione said through clenched teeth as she tried to grab her book back.

Draco, however, had grown since the previous year and was now muscular and tall so he had no problem with keeping the book out of her reach.

Hermione huffed in fake defeat before settling back into her chair so that she would have her wand, which she had left on the side of the chair.

Lifting it up, she waved it threateningly, "Give me back the book now Malfoy or suffer."

Draco looked at her for a few moments before he burst out laughing, "Oh please Granger, you look as threatening as a little kitten."

Hermione looked at him outraged before she pointed her wand at him and shouted, "Rictusempra." She then watched in triumph as Draco fell to his knees, dropping the book next to him, and clutched his stomach, looking as if someone was tickling him mercilessly.

"Mercy," Draco managed to wheeze as he felt his sides begin to pain due of his laughing.

Hermione picked up her book and went back to her seat where she folded her legs and twirled her wand between her two fingers, appearing to consider his plea.

"Hmm nope, I prefer you there," she said, her eyes twinkling. She then began to chuckle to herself as she watched Draco squirm helplessly on the ground.

She was so caught up with laughing at him that she failed to notice that Draco had managed to get his wand and pointed it at her, whispering, "Levicorpus."

Hermione squealed as Draco's spell hit her and she felt herself being hung upside down in the air. She let out a soft shriek as she clutched the bottoms of her skirt to stop them from falling down and revealing her underwear to the hysterical boy who stood below her.

"Malfoy let me down this instant!" she shouted.

Draco shook his head, "No can do luv, it's called payback."

Hermione considered her options before she suddenly had a brilliant idea. "Malfoy, seriously let me down," she said softly, "I'm not feeling so …" and at that point, she pretended to faint.

Draco, after a few minutes of laughing, realised that Hermione was no longer talking, looked up and he noticed how pale her face looked and how her eyes appeared to be closed shut. He immediately muttered the counter spell and placed her back onto her chair. Just as he was about to keep if she was okay, he felt ice cold water hit him face first.

It seemed that Hermione had found her wand as soon as she had been set back onto the seat and had cast a quick, "Aguamenti" at him.

Soaking wet, Draco shook his wet blonde hair a bit, just to annoy Hermione before running up to her and attempting to grab her in a wet embrace. Hermione had been one-step ahead of him and had simply woken up from the chair before he could make any contact. They now circled around the chair, the lioness and the snake.

And it was this picture the mirror showed to the two people who sat observing the pair from their seats.

Sighing, Esmeralda turned to the Headmaster once more, "I think we should use the spell, it's the only way to preserve the sanity of everyone and most importantly of those two."

Professor Dumbledore considered her words for a while before saying, "I suppose you're right," in a defeated tone. "I believe that the book that Miss Granger was reading should be sufficient enough?"

"Quite so," Esmeralda said in agreement.

Dumbledore pointed his wand at the mirror and muttered a spell which caused the couple to shimmer and then promptly disappear, leaving only the book behind. He then waved his wand and held out his hand as the book apparated into his grasp.

"Well, I suppose all we can do now is wait," he said, "Lemon drop?" he asked

Esmeralda shook her head and turned to view the mirror, which now appeared to be spilt into two different scenes.

On one side was Hermione in a grand room filled with crimson and gold and on the other was Draco who appeared to be asleep in a bed of emerald and silver, both of them surrounded by servants. The two appeared to be sleeping but it was at that exact moment that both of them woke up, uttering the same thing, "Where am I?"


Review and enjoy!
