Sorted into Slytherin with the whisper of prophecy around her, Hermione refuses to bow down to the blood prejudices that poison the wizarding world. Carving her own path forward, Hermione chooses to make her own destiny, not as a Muggleborn, a halfblood, or as a pureblood... but as a New Blood, and everything the mysterious term means. ((Short chapters, done scene by scene))

Draco is acting stranger than usual when it comes to Potter and his fellow Slytherins are determined to find out why. Hermione catches wind of a certain bet about her best friend and decides to take the Slytherins for all they're worth. An unfolding romance as told by Harry and Draco's friends. Expect drama, shenanigans and a lot of fluff. Rated M for violence and swearing.

The first time was an accident. The second time, too - mostly. The third time was stretching the truth a little, but Harry was prepared to stretch just as much as he needed. The fourth time? Even he couldn't pretend anymore. [FULL SUMMARY WITHIN]
