Chapter 1~The Fallen Angel

"DAMN YOU MALFOY!" Hermione yelled in the halls of Hogwarts.

"What the fuck did I do?" asked Draco.

"You know what the hell I'm talking about!"

"Actually, I don't, MISS Granger."

"Oh, puh-leeze! Give me a break! I know that you purposely put the extra Dragons Breath in the potion that we were working on so it would explode in my face!!!" she was furious.

"What makes you think that I did that intentionally? I'm not that stupid Granger! I wouldn't risk my grade just to make something THAT small happen to you. If I were to do something to you, it would be more than just having a simple potion explode in your face!"

"Oh, and what is that supposed to be, Malfoy? A threat?"

"If it is?" he asked in a harsh tone.

"Then it's nothing new." At this Hermione faced her back to him and walked away with a mad look on her face. 'That jerk! First, making that potion explode in my face. Second, lying to me about it. AND he gives me a threat!?' She thought to herself. Hermione was so angry that she hadn't realized where she was headed. 'Oh, well, I might as well just go with where ever I take myself, I mean its only lunch time. I'm sure that Harry and Ron would understand if I didn't show up for one meal.'

'Damn that stupid idiot of a witch!' Draco thought as he too just walked away from the argument he and Hermione had. 'How dare she blame me for something that wasn't my fault!' Draco thought to himself.

"ARGH! Who does she think she is? The female version of Merlin? That stupid woman needs to know where she stands!" And then Draco got an idea. "And, I'll be the one to help her, show her exactly where she stands." He laughed evilly and ran to the Slytherin common room.

"*sigh* I guess I'll just go out by the lake again. I mean no one is usually there and it's always good to just sit there and get rid of my worries." Hermione went out. She slowly walked to where the rock near the lake was and sat there. Hermione took in the smell of the fresh air and listened to the wind blow by her with a soft 'swoosh'. (A/N-tee!hee! I know I know...'Swoosh?'...I couldn't think of anything else...sue me!)

'Hmmm...how should I do this? Aha! I'll send her an owl telling her that I am sorry and then I'll trick her into believing that I want to be her friend and then, when she least expects it, I'll do the worst thing to her, I'll...I'll...hmmm...I don't know what I'll do just yet, but I know it will be perfect when I think of it.' And evil grin then crossed Draco's lips and he laughed coldly.

Draco headed down to the owlry and wrote to Hermione...

Dear Hermione,

I'm sorry that I acted like a jerk to you. I know that I shouldn't have done what I did to you. It was all to evil and well, yea. Like I said, 'Me? I would have probably done something else to you...' Ha!Ha! I'm just kidding. I really am sorry and I hope that you would forgive me. If you do then please meet me at the Quidditch field at midnight tonight.

Sincerely, Draco Malfoy

"Perfect!" he said aloud, before letting the owl take it away to Hermione. As he stood by the window watching the owl fly away he noticed something on the school grounds. It appeared to be human, and a very good looking human at that.

"Wow." Draco breathed, stunned at the beautiful image he saw. She was gorgeous. 'I wouldn't mind getting to know her.' Then Draco took a closer look at the figure. To his surprise, the amazing looking woman was no other than..."HOLY SHIT! GRANGER!" 'Wow, she dosn't look half bad from here.' Draco thought. From where he was standing, she looked like a fallen angel. 'Wait! What the hell am I saying!? This is Granger, Hermione, Mudblood, Granger! But...NO! Stop thinking like that.! Remember the plan, THE PLAN DAMNIT!' Draco took a deep breath and headed back to the Great Hall for a bit of lunch.
