A/N: Not a lot of Hermione and Draco in this chapter, mostly slytherins at their best to break up our happy couple.

Last time:

He finally collapse beside her on the bed and pulled her close so there was no space between them. The pulled the covers over themselves and fell asleep, her head on his chest, his head on top of hers, legs twisted together, they really were the perfect fit.

Now:

Gregory Goyle sat in front of Lucius Malfoy in the study of Malfoy Manor. "Sir, I'm one hundred percent sure that Draco and Hermione Granger are dating seriously. I should also probably tell you that Draco requested to be resorted on the first night in front of the entire great hall."

"And what was the result, did the hat keep him in Slytherin?"

"No sir, Draco is now a Gryffindor."

Lucius stood and threw his glass of fire whiskey against the wall. "He's a fool and he's destroying the Malfoy name."

"Sir, if it helps the slytherin girls are working on a plan to split them up, they want Draco back in Slytherin and away from the Gryffindor girl for good."

"I want you to inform the girls that I will be of any assistance to them if it can possibly get my sons head back on straight. I never thought my own blood would lower his standards to be with a filthy Mud blood."

"I wont lie to you sir, Hermione is quiet popular to the guys at school."

"So she's a slut then?"

"No sir, the opposite, she had always been considered untouchable, the virgin princess as I've heard her called before."

"Then what on earth does everyone see in her? Surely the slytherin males don't feel the same way do they?"

"She is highly intelligent and powerful for a mud blood, her marks are the highest in years at Hogwarts – and for the second question, I'm sorry to say, the Slytherin males want her too, Draco just so happened to be the one who got to her."

"What the hell is happening at that school, even pure bloods are lusting after a mud blood. She wasn't even that attractive the last time I'd seen her."

Goyle reached inside his pocket and pulled out a picture that he convinced a first year to take for him last week and handed it to Lucius.

"This was taken of her and Draco last week."

Lucius studied the picture, Hermione had certainly grown since the last time he laid eyes on her and Draco looked to be in love with her as she did with him. It made him sick to his stomach.

"I'll admit she's attractive, but certainly our slytherin girls look better?"

"Only a handful of girls look as good as she does, the problem is she is also smart and even though no one wants to admit it, she has the traits of a slytherin. She's stolen from Snape, helped Potter and Weasley sneak into the slytherin common to spy and even drugged me once to do so."

"Do potter and Weasley accept her and Draco's relationship?"

"Yes they do and have even become friends with him."

"What about pansy, she's not letting this go is she?"

"Pansy challenged Hermione last week and essentially got her ass hand back to her on a plate, Pansy was so humiliated she hasn't left the common room in almost a week except to attend classes."

"Alright Gregory, thanks for informing me, remember, tell the girls it they need anything I'll be happy to assist them if possible."

"No problem Mr. Malfoy, I'll send an owl if anything else of importance comes up."

Back at Hogwarts in the slytherin Girls dormitory:

"How much longer before the potion is ready?"

"A week tops, she will be throwing herself at every guy around her, and Draco will leave her because of it, he will be ours once again very soon."

"I just don't see what he sees in her, she's not better then us?"

Pansy, who was listening to the conversation from behind her curtains decided to give them her opinion. "He likes her because she is not after his name or money, she's smart and talented, not to mention more powerful then any of you put together, I'm telling you now, your plan will fail."

"Why Pansy, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were in love with her." one girl said sarcastically.

"I should hex you for that" Pansy started "I just know when I'm beat, Draco looks at her differently then he ever looked at me, he loves her and a stupid potion isn't going to change that."

"If you say so" the girl bit back

"I know so and it's not just Draco, look around, all the guys are infatuated with her whether they admit to it or not."

"Oh stuff it Pansy, crawl back into you little cave and leave this up to the real slytherins."

"Fine, but when you fail, I will be the first to rub it in your faces."

Pansy closed the curtain behind her, yes she wanted Draco, but also wanted Hermione, there was something about her that Pansy found attractive, and had since third year. "Maybe" she thought to herself, "I can have Hermione if I cant get Draco." and Pansy went to sleep thinking of how she could corner Hermione.
