Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter….I wish I had Daniel Radcliffe though….he is so damn sexy!
A/N: Hey guys! I decided to use a different writing style this time. For this fic I have Hermionie as the main character. When Hermionie is in the room, everything is in her point of view. When she is not in the room the reader will be able to hear what the other characters are thinking. It is tricky but I think it will work. That means that you the reader will know everything that is going on when Hermionie will not. I know it sounds weird but it will make sense as the story goes along. Just remember that when Hermionie is in the room everything is in her P.O.V. and the second she is out of the room it isn't. Get it? I hope so….well anyway, I hope you enjoy the fic!
Chapter 1: Innocent fun
"Thus, it turns green when heated." Snape turned the burner off and turned his icy stare back upon his class. "I want you to read pages 434-450 in your text book and then I want you to write a summary about what you read. At least two rolls of parchment."
Groans where heard from my fellow students.
"I can easily change it to three…"
I raised my hand, "When is this due Professor Snape?"
"Next time we have class." He said through his teeth. He spun around and walked back toward the front of the room. "Class dismissed."
The students threw their supplies into their bags and hurried out of the class. I took my time. I had no where to go.
"Come on Hermionie, I am hungry." Ron complained.
I looked to my side to see Ron and Harry waiting for me. I smiled and threw the last few things into my bag.

The walk to the Great Hall was a quiet one. Harry and Ron had quidditch practice late last night so they were really tired. I moved some loose strands of my caramel colored hair behind my ear. I bit my bottom lip wondering what I should say.
"I heard that Pansy Parkinson was caught kissing Lee Jordan on the quidditch bleachers last year right before school ended and that she is shacked up with him this summer."
"Hmm.." Was the only sound from my male counterparts.
My smile faded. Boys!
We finally reached the doors to the great hall after what felt like 5 years. The sounds of people talking and eating filled their ears.
Ron pushed to his seat. I looked over at Harry and we laughed.
I looked into his eyes and noticed him looking into mine. I quickly turned my head away. I am acting so foolish!
We took our seats next to Ron. My hand shook as I grabbed for my napkin.
Harry noticed. "Are you okay Hermionie?"
"Yeah I am fine." I resisted looking into his eyes.
He shrugged and reached for some chicken. A roll sat on my plate. I ripped a piece off and ate it. I sighed quietly to myself.
"Are you sure you are ok?" Harry asked once more.
"Yeah yof ook thad." Ron said with food in his mouth.
I gave him a look of great disgust. "I-I think I am going to go to the library."
Harry watched me get up.
Ron swallowed his food. "Are you sure you are not hungry?"
I grabbed my roll. "This is enough."
Ron grabbed some more chicken.
I quickly walked out of the great hall toward the library.

Draco, Crabbe and Goyle stood in a corridor, hidden behind a statue.
"All right, how much do you bet?"
Crabbe emptied his pockets. "4 knuts."
"That's it! Goyle what about you?"
"I think I have 7 Knuts."
Draco rolled his eyes. "Okay I will put 8 knuts down." He thought for a second. "I have an idea. Let's dare each other."
"I have one for you Malfoy."
Draco crossed his arms. "All right, what is it."
"You have to kiss the next girl who walks down the hall, whoever it is, no exceptions." Goyle chuckled.
"I'll do it, what a lousy dare Goyle."
Goyle shrugged.
"Fine, then you, Goyle, have to kiss the next guy who walks by."
Goyle looked scared for a second.
Crabbe laughed.
Malfoy looked at him. "You're next!"
He stopped laughing and turned his knuts over in his palm.
Malfoy laughed.
Footsteps were heard.
Malfoy looked around the corner to see who was coming.
He saw the familiar brown locks and smiled to himself.

My head was focused on the ground. The library was not far now. I moved some of my unruly hair out of my face. My damn raging hormones!
Suddenly the strap of my bad broke. I groaned out of frustration. I kneeled to the ground and began to pick up my belongings.
"Need help Granger?"
I raised my head to see Malfoy looking down at me.
"Uhh, sure."
He smiled a half smile before leaning over to help pick up her books. "You seem to have a lot of books."
"Yea…" I trailed off.
"Why aren't you at lunch?"
"I am not hungry and I wanted to head over to the library."
"I see."
Malfoy stood up then held a hand out to me. I grabbed it and pulled myself up.
"It was nice talking to you." He inched himself closer.
"Yea…" I trailed off once more.
Suddenly he wrapped his arm around her and leaned in to kiss me. My eyes grew bigger. Is he about to kiss me?
Our lips touched. Draco was aggressive and pushed his tongue into my mouth. He then pulled back.
I looked at him. He smiled and then left. I stood there in the middle of the hallway, shocked. I watched him walk up the adjacent corridor. I pulled my book bag back onto my shoulder and continued my walk to the library.

Malfoy looked at his friends.
"That was great Malfoy."
"Yeah it looked like you really cared."
"It's called acting boys."
They heard the echo of Hermionie walking away.
"So that's…9 knuts for me, no wait 10 knuts."
"Wait that leaves 9 knuts for Goyle and me!"
"It's amazing Crabbe can count."
Goyle laughed. Malfoy quieted him.
Crabbe folded his arms. "Fine, whatever I don't care."
The sounds of heavy footsteps were were getting closer to them.
"Sounds like your man Goyle." Malfoy smirked.
Goyle swallowed hard.
Malfoy looked around the corner to see Professor Snape walking toward them. Oh this is good!
"Who is it?" Goyle pouted.
"A professor."
Goyle froze. "Which?"
Malfoy tried to contain his laughter. "Snape."
A look of fear was in his eyes. "S-Snape?"
"The one and only."
Crabbe roared with laughter.
"Go get him tiger." Malfoy laughed.
Goyle got up and walked into the corridor.
Snape saw him. "Why aren't you at lunch?"
"I-I-I wasn't hungry."
"That's a lie. You are always hungry."
"I don't feel well."
Snape rolled his eyes.
Goyle's body stiffened.
"Well I have to be on my way. Don't get yourself in trouble and get points taken away from Slytherin."
"Yes sir!"
Snape then walked by him.
Goyle began to sweat.
Malfoy grabbed the remaining knuts. "The idiot flaked!"
Crabbe and Malfoy walked out into the hall.
"You dumbass."
Malfoy kept walking by him. Crabbe at his heels. Goyle turned around. "Hey wait up guys!"
They kept walking.
