Tuesday came the sun was shining, perfect for Quidditch . The morning was a typical morning at Hogwarts, a barn owl brought Hermione her Daily Prophet but it was the same old news. Harry and Ron were talking about Quidditch again and Draco was still tormenting Ron about what Ron liked to call, 'the incident.' Hermione ate her breakfast quietly listening to Harry and Ron, nodding her head politely every once in a while just to make them happy.

After breakfast they made their way to the Transfiguration room. Draco and half the other students were already in there seats. Hermione went and sat down next to him. He looked at her but didn't say anything.

"Do you have a problem, Malfoy?" she said, glaring back at him.

"Yeah, you're sitting next to me."

"This is my seat!"

"I know. It bothers me!"

"To damn bad! I don't like sitting next to you either."

The tabby cat observing the class from her desk transfigured into their Professor at that moment.

"Good morning, class."

"Good morning, Professor McGonagall."

Professor McGonagall told them that they would be starting a project in which they would have to work with their partners.

Hermione and Draco looked at each other and scowled. Hermione knew that this was one of their attempts to bring the houses closer, but having to do a project with Malfoy was like trying to fit a cube into a circular hole. She knew that it wouldn't work.

"This is a big project. It will be on Animagi and you will have two months to complete it. Here I have a list of things that you need to include. You must pick a famous Animagi and write a biography on them. You will need to include things like the date of their registration, why they chose their animal, also what got them put into a history book and why being an animal helped them do so. It will have to be about four feet long in length. You and your partner will also have to find some kind of visual. This is worth a quarter of your semester grade. I suggest that you work together with your partner. I will also be giving you these quills that record how much you have written, so that we can see that both persons did an equal amount of work.It will be due a the beginning of November. Good luck," she said, before sitting, quietly, behind her desk.

Two months with Malfoy. The biggest project ever to be placed in front of me and Draco is responsible for half of my grade. Kill me, now!

"So, when do you want to get started?" she asked, turning to him.

"Never."

"Malfoy, do you really thin-"

"Look, Granger, I said I never wanted to get started. When do we need to get started? That's a different question. Don't go off on a tangent and freak out."

"Fine. Then when do we need to get started?"

"Soon."

"Okay, then lets meet in the library tonight and just look for our person."

"You're right Granger, I don't think that I could spend much more time with you then that. Seven 'o' clock then?"

"Fine," she said. Hermione got out her book and started to see if there was anyone in there so that she wouldn't have to be alone with Malfoy in the library. She spent the last twenty minutes of class looking but found no one.

-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"

"I have Padma Patil as a partner. Don't get me wrong, she's nice and all, but all the thinks about are boys!" complained Hannah, after Hermione had explained her situation with Malfoy.

"At least you don't have to work with Malfoy!"

"I agree with you there. I don't know how this interhouse thing is going to work. We are the school's examples and we're not being very good ones.

"Well, Hannah, I guess that we'll have to bring that up at the Prefects meeting tomorrow."

"I guess you're right, but if they wanted us to have interhouse relationships than why seperate us into houses in the first place? Maybe we can at least get Malfoy to be civil."

"That's wishful thinking, Hannah."

-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"

Hermione, Harry and Ron quickly ate dinner and went to the Quidditch pitch. Hermione went to find a seat as the boys went to change into their robes. They were the first people there and Harry and Ron played a few games of chicken before the rest of the team arrived.

Hermione had just finished her Defense Against the Dark Arts essay and Ron had just unsuccessfully blocked the quaffle for the nineth time, when she realized that it was ten to seven. Hermione waved goodbye to the boys, distracting Ron so he missed his tenth quaffle. He scowled and she made her way quickly to the library, not wanting to be hit with a bludger!

-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"

Draco had been there ever since dinner hoping to find something but hadn't. He looked at his watch and saw that it was seven and thought about a leaving.

"No, she'd kill me!" he said, outloud to himself.

"Kill you for being you?" asked Hermione, as she walked in.

"Shut up, Granger."

"Have you found anything?"

"No."

She grabbed a book from the shelf that she thought might contain something and sat three chairs down from Malfoy.

She didn't know how long she had been there or how many books she had searched through. All she knew was that at some point Malfoy had left without saying a word which told her that he hadn't found anything either. She looked at her watch. It was half past ten and she realized that she still had Potions, Herbology and Arithmacy homework. She threw her things into her bag and ran from the library.

I'm going to be up forever!

""""""""""""

Draco had left the library at a quarter till nine. He had given up and started to think that the project was impossible. He also couldn't stay in that library anymore with that Gryffindor. With her sighs when she finished a book and hadn't found anything, with her constant glances at him as if asking, 'Found anything yet?' He had to leave. He thought that he would look in their library. When he got back, Terry and Owen were deep into a game of chess. Draco watched Hannah cautiously walk over to Terry.

"Terry, how long do our Potion essays have to be?"

"Shut up, woman. Go away," he said, never even looking up from the board.

"Fine," she said and went to grab her bag.

Draco made a mental note never to bother Terry when he was playing chess.

"Good night, Owen, Draco," Hannah said, walking up the stairs.

Did she just call me Draco? "Night," he replied, in shock.

"Night, Hannah," came Terry's voice.

"Go to hell, Terry," Hannah's voice echoed from the staircase.

Draco also made a mental note to always answer Hannah's homework questions. If he had to live with them he wanted to make this as easy as possible.

""""""""""""

Hermione ran out of the library and towards the Prefects common room. When she got there everyone was in bed, except Malfoy. He was on the floor asleep in front of the fireplace. He had a book open under his head and was surrounded by half the library. She walked towards him and noticed that he was drooling on the pages of what looked like a very old book.

"Wow, he actually looks human!" She whispered to herself. She thought about going to wake him up and made a step forward but decided against it. She went to her dorm and Katie and Hannah were sitting on Katie's bed talking.

"Hey, Hermione. Where have you been?" asked Katie.

"In the library for our Transfiguration project."

"Did you find anything?"

"No. That's why Malfoy is down there surrounded by books."

"He's your partner! You poor girl."

"It's okay, because we never say a word to each other! He didn't even tell me that he was leaving the library. I have a bunch of homework to do though. I'll just get my bag and leave you girls to talking."

"Do you want us to come with you?" asked Hannah.

"No, thanks though," she said and she made her way back downstairs. She first went over to the espresso machine and turned it on, thinking that she might need it. Then she went and sat on the couch, directly in front of the fire, it took her a minute to find her way through the maze of books though. She took out her Arithmacy charts and started to do those. When she finished, she started on her Potions homework. It was half past midnight when she was halfway through that. It would be okay to just take a little nap. She let her head rest on the arm of the couch and closed her eyes.

""""""""""""

Draco woke the next morning with his face stuck to the book he had been drooling on and a very bad pain in his neck. He slowly rose from the floor and looked around the room. He saw Hermione on the couch, slowly made his way to the bathroom, ignoring her presence. Stalker!

"Woaw!" he yelled, as he tripped over a pile of books and fell to the ground.

Hermione yelped and sat up straight.She chuckled as she watched him rise from the floor.

"What's so funny Gran-."

"Did you happen to find anything?" she said, cutting him off before he could finish. She liked getting a rise out of him and she was quickly learning how to. It was payback for all the other times he had been a jerk.

"Does it look like I did?" Draco said, as he walked into the bathroom.

Hermione went upstairs to get some clean clothes and a robe and made her way to the girls bathroom. After showering she went down to the Great Hall. When she got there she sat between Harry and Ron.

"Have you two found someone for your Transfiguration project?"

"Well, good morning to you too," Ron said. Hermione rolled her eyes at him and then looked to Harry.

"No, I haven't," said Harry.

"Yes," said Ron.

"Where?" Hermione said, turning to him.

"I wrote Dad and he gave me the name of some witch who could transfigure into a Firecrab and saved a whole town from a Yeti, because Yetis fear fire."

"Oh," said Hermione. "I don't know what I'm going to do. I can't find anything."

"Me too. Pansy Parkinson refuses to even enter the library, so I am doing this on my own," said Harry.

"Have you tried to work with Goyle! He can't tell a quill from a hippograff!" Ron replied.

"He's right, Harry. I feel worse for Ron. Well we better go."

They made their way to Transfiguration and the day was pretty normal. In Potions Neville had knocked over his cauldron and his wart treatment potion went all over, but that was nothing out of the ordinary.

After dinner the three of them went to Gryffindor common room and did homework until Hermione remembered that she had a Prefects meeting. She said goodbye to the boys and made her way back to her common room.

"Good, Hermione, you're here," came Dumbledore's voice, as she walked into the common room.

"Yes, sir," she replied, sitting down next to Hannah.

"Now, this year we have decided to hold several events in order to try and get the four houses closer, but tonight we will just stick with the one nearest in time. On Halloween we have decided to have a haunted house out on the grounds. We were thinking that you shall have to make your way through it and once in the middle there will be a dance. We have also decided to let you six be creative and do the planning on your own. If you need anything just let me know," he said, then turned and walked out of the room.

"A haunted house sounds cool," said Owen.

"How big do you think we should make it?" asked Hannah.

"Well, I think that if we have to fit all of the students inside it will need to be big. We could have the haunted house be like a maze around the outside of it. It would be cool if it were in the shape of a circle," replied Hermione.

"We should set people in charge of different things. How about two people to organize the musical entertainment along with the food an decorations for the dance." suggested Katie.

"I can do that," said Hannah.

"I'll do it wi-," Hermione started, but was cut off.

"I'll help you, Hannah," came Terry's voice over hers.

"You're just trying to get back on my good side after what happened last night, aren't you?" asked Hannah.

"Yeah, so?"

"Fine. Terry and I will be in charge of that."

"Okay then. We should also have two people to advertise. I know that students will know about it but I think that we should have some sort of order to it. We should probably only let a certain amount of people in at a time, so that it won't get too crowded in there. We could hand out tickets that say what time you will be allowed to enter the maze. But before that, we will have to find out who wants to go with who so they can enter together, so we should have those two people also find that out. I can handle that," said Katie.

"I'll help y-," Hermione said but was cut off again.

"I'll do that with you Katie," said Owen.

"Okay, then that leaves the two of you to decide what the maze will consist of. We will need to decide on events and obstacles that people will have to get through. We should also talk to the Professors about supervision for animals and things. This is going to be so much fun!"

"Sure," Hermione and Draco said, together. Hermione liked her job, it sounded fun, but she already had to spend enough time with Draco on their project and now she had to work with him on this! We might as well be joined at the hips.

The other four got with their partners and started to discuss there tasks. Hermione turned to Malfoy.

"I think that we should talk to Professor Hagrid and see what he can get us. I think that it would be cool if Hagrid's little brother could take part, hecan be very frightening, but Hagrid would have to stay with Grawp, because he's not the brightest crayon in the box. We'll, maybe that's a bad idea --."

"What's a crayon?" asked Malfoy, cutting her off.

"Nothing, never mind. So, we won't-."

"If we're going to work together you're going to have to tell me things."

"It's a muggle coloring untensil."

"Thank you."

"Which brings me to my next point. Thanks Hermione and Draco. We have to be the examples for Dumbledore's interhouse relationships, which means that we all have to get along," Katie interrupted.

"Even in public?" Draco asked, in cold voice.

"Especially in public, Draco. We all have to get along and so far, this isn't working. We need to be friends. Which means Draco that you will have to at least be civil to us."

"Why is this directed towards me?" Draco asked, offended.

"Because we all get along," said Hannah, gesturing to the five of them.

"Fine. I will agree to be civil but I refuse to be friends."

"Okay but that means no bashing us in public. You will either have to keep your mouth shut about us or make it at least seem that we're are friends," said Hermione.

Draco looked at her with a glare. Be friends with mudblood, this was going to be hard, but I always like a challenge. "If I have to."

"Draco, you're doing this for the good of the school and our future," said Katie.

"I already agreed to it," said Draco, getting up. "And stop calling me Draco, it freaks me out!" He then went up to his room.

"Katie, do you think that this will work?" asked Hermione.

"It has to," said Katie, looking after Draco.
