Disclaimer: I OWN HARRY POTTER! ALL SEVEN IN FACT! One of which in the British form, which I got for my birthday one year. OBVIOUSLY I'm talking about the books. SHEESH. No, JKR has all rights to Harry Potter. I'm just a fan that likes to write about what I would like to happen in the HP world. Although, I do own this plot, and the characters I make up. So. HA!
Summary: Basically, this is a love story about Draco and Hermione, but it's mostly in Hermione's POV. It's set in 7th year at Hogwarts, but in a more recent time, like. NOW. Anyway. Follow the Golden Trio, Draco, Pansy, and all sort of Hogwarts students through their final year. Watch them go through heartache, triumph, and even raging pheromones. Oh, and I do hope you'll enjoy Hermione's musings. I find some of them rather humorous. And it's a bit AU, and sometimes OOC. But I like it, so, bear with me! :
Pairings will be as follows: Draco/Hermione, Ron/OC, Harry/Pansy, Ginny/Blaise

Chapter the First: Oh HELL.
Wednesday September 20. 2pm
Ugh. I'm trying so hard right now to stay awake and remember why I thought it would be a good idea to take Muggle Studies. Thinking…thinking…thinking…NOPE! I really cannot come up with any reason at all. Hmmm…maybe I should just walk out like I did in Divination during 3rd year…nahhh. That would cause a scene. Plus, Professor Calibri is actually a good teacher. Too bad I already know everything he's talked about. I wish he would delve into something more interesting…like maybe the Tudors? Gah, how amazing must it have been to live in the era of King Henry VIII and his children. Ohh the scandals they had. What. Stop looking at me like that. I can be a romantic! I'm not ALL about hiding behind those big musty tomes. In fact, I usually have a romance novel or something hidden in it. Oh HUSH. Don't judge. And great. I'm personifying my DIARY. Will my craziness never end!? Oy. I can be such a drama queen sometimes. And now I need chocolate. Blargh. Silly sudden cravings. Damn. I need a pint of Haagen-Dazs Chocolate Ice Cream, like. RIGHT NOW. It's such a shame they don't have it in the Wizarding World. Bahahahahaha. Everyone thinks I'm taking copious amounts of
notes. WELL. That shows what THEY know. w00t! Only 10 more minutes left in this class! Oh no. It's Wednesday…I have Double Potions with the Slytherins next. NOOOOO. bangs head on table I so cannot put up with Malfoy's incessant sneering, and acting like he's "superior" today. Not when I am going through chocolate withdrawal. I might end up punching him again….Ohhh. I actually wouldn't mind doing that. Too bad I'd get detention and house points taken away for it. YAY! Class is over! But damnit! I missed what the homework assignment was. Note to self: Ask Padma at dinner.

Kill me. Just. Kill.Me.NOW. And do you want to know why you can kill me? Because I just got paired with PANSY FREAKING PARKINSON to make VERITASERUM. Ohhh, this is so not my day. And I'll probably end up with burnt off eyebrows, and hair that resembles Einstein's! This is not good.

So, I may have overreacted earlier. Well hell, I DID overreact. Potions actually turned out to be not so bad today. I was surprised at Pansy, thinking she would go on and on about her precious "Drakey-poo". Boy, was I WRONG. She didn't bring him up at all! And another surprising thing. She's actually pretty smart, and extremely funny! I'll have to show you the notes we were passing…ohhh. She had Godiva chocolate too! I could have hugged her! Oh shit. Harry and Ron look like they want to talk to me….well. Ron does anyway. Harry keeps looking at something. Hmmm…ponder that later. Gotta go eat dinner now. The Shepherd's Pie looks fantastic tonight. Note to self: Go to kitchens later and compliment the elves.
"Um….Hermione?" Ron Weasley asked his best friend and crush.
"Yes Ronald? What is it now?" Hermione Granger replied with a sigh, wishing he would shut up so that she could eat.
"Well…it's just that…what happened in Potions today!? One minute you looked like you were going to your death sentence for being paired with PARKINSON, and then the next, you looked about ready to HUG HER! MIONE, she's a SLYTHERIN! She cannot be trusted. Plus. I'll bet she's a Death Eater in training," he replied.
Giving Ron her patented "Oh-shut-up-you-don't-know-what-you're-talking-about" look, Hermione decided his questions really didn't need an answer, she did not reply. After all, WHY should she have to explain herself and her actions to Ron? She then began to eat her delicious meal, and sighed with contentment.
Harry on the other hand, took it upon himself to answer Ron. Oh boy. "Well. It's obvious isn't it? She was having one of her chocolate withdrawal episodes. And I bet that Pansy had some chocolate in her bag. Seriously Ron, look at how she's eating! She only eats large amounts of food after going through one of her episodes. Think next time Ron."
"HARRY! Since WHEN did it become Pansy instead of Parkinson? WHEN!? She's a disgusting Slytherin with no morals. Plus, she's a total SLAG!" Honestly. Trust Ron to zoom in on something that insignificant and completely ignore everything else Harry had said.
Blushing, Harry muttered something about having to use the loo, and left the table...with his bag.
"Way to go Ron! Gah. Good job embarrassing Harry. I mean really. WOW. Jebus. Don't you have any tact at all? Any manners?" And with that being said, Hermione left the table, leaving a very bewildered Ron in her wake.
END CHAPTER ONE!
