Hermione woke up early and headed down to the Great Hall. She didn't meet anyone on the way there…especially not Malfoy, she thought. She didn't know how she would ever live the "incidents" of the night before down. Malfoy sure wasn't going to let that happen. When she got there she took out her schedule to see what classes she had that day. No surprises. First Arithmancy with, ugh…Slytherin. At least she knew Malfoy wouldn't be in that class. After that, one of her favorite classes, Transfiguration with Hufflepuff, then Lunch and Potions with (no not again)…Slytherin.

She finished her breakfast and headed to Arithmancy. She knew she'd be early, but she wanted to have time to chat with Professor Vector before class, but when she got there, she wasn't alone. Malfoy was in the room. "What is HE doing here?" she said before she could stop herself.

"Oh, Malfoy? He's taking arithmancy this year; we were just discussing how to get him caught up. Any ideas?" When Hermione didn't answer she went on. "I thought that you wouldn't mind tutoring him, Hermione, being the best student in class." Hermione, once again, was too shocked for words, Malfoy (again) smirked. "Well now that settles that" said Professor Vector smiling, "So from now on, until Malfoy catches up, you'll share a desk and spend an hour each day after class working together."

Their expressions didn't change. Then the bell rang loudly and the class filed in. Professor Vector assigned Hermione and Malfoy to one of the double desks in the very back corner of the room.

"Psst, Granger" whispered Malfoy, "Since we're going to be seeing each other on a painfully regular basis for some time"

"No treat for me either" interjected Hermione

"I'll ignore that", continued Malfoy, "I think it would be a good idea to ermm… forget last night and try to be at least sociably nice"

"Fine", said Hermione, "But about last night…" It was one of the rare occasions when it was Malfoy's turn to blush.

"Uhh, what about last night?" Now it was Hermione's turn to blush.

"Alright class" said Professor Vector, stopping their conversation, "turn to page 132 and do numbers 1-35." There was much groaning from the class. "But" she continued "if you finish it in class today, you have no homework tonight!", this was followed with many sighs of relief. "Alright then, Begin!"

"So Hermione?", whispered Malfoy uncertainly. Almost nice even. Hermione noticed that this was the first time he had ever called her by her first name.

"Oh…. never mind"

"Well don't get any ideas in your oversized head Granger!" he sneered, back to his old self again.

"OHHHH…." said Hermione, fuming. Malfoy then muttered something that sounded to Hermione like "mud blood", and Malfoy couldn't help but notice how much Hermione's cough seemed to sound like "ferret".

I promise it gets better... Please bear with me throught the fuzzy bits although as I said before the whole things kinda fluffy, so if you dont like fluff...you won't like the rest.
