Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot (Duh) C'mon people, do you expect people to believe me if I said I was the almighty J.K Rowling? Never mind… I ramble too much

A/N Draco/Hermione. In their 5th year. A weeklong project is going on in Transfiguration, and of couse, the Gryffindors are paired with the Slytherins! I came up with this genuine little idea while I was doing the horrible dishes. Don't ask how I ever became a D/Hr shipper. It just happened when I read a D/Hr fic. On with the story!

Hermione's POV

 "Okay, students! We are started with something new today!" Shouted Professor McGonagall. They Gryffindors were nonplussed.

 "Slytherin will be joining us in our class" At this there was chaos.

 "WHAT?" Shouted several students. A though crossed Hermione's mind.

"Oh no… Please not Malfoy…" She silently wished. She put up her hand.

 "Seeing as Ms. Granger was the only one of you to put up her hand, I shall listen to her. Yes, Ms. Granger?"

 "Professor, may I ask why the Slytherins are joining us? Are we going to be working on some sort of project?" She tried to sound as friendly as possible.

 "Good question, Granger. And good answer. Yes, Professor Snape and the Slytherins are joining us because we will be working on a project together. Professor Snape-

 "Oh no…" Groaned Harry, who was sitting next to Hermione.

 "Potter, please do not interrupt me while I am speaking!" Barked McGonagall.

 "How else could he interrupt you?" snickered Seamus Finnigan under his breath.

 "Would you like you repeat that, Finnigan?" asked McGonagall in a rather lethal voice. Seamus turned pink and mumbled something that sounded like "No…"

 "Alright then. Nobody will be working with people of the same house. Each of you will be working in pairs with a Slytherin.

 "WHAT?" shouted the same people as the first time. McGonagall mercifully decided to ignore this outburst.

 "Yes in pairs. Each pair will be assigned something to campaign against"

 Hermione bravely raised her hand again.

 "Yes?"

 "I was wondering… why aren't we working with the Ravenclaws or Hufflepuffs?"

 "Slythering and Gryffindor are working together to end the old house differences, as I am sure you are already aware of." She paused. "And Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are working together to end their house differences. You will be spending very much time with your partner" She paused again and turned a bit red in the face. "We are pairing boys and girls together, for… erm…. Other obvious reasons" At this the females in the class looked a bit ill, although Lavender and Parvatti were giggling. They got a lot of strange looks.

 "I hope that one of us gets paired with Draco Malfoy" Lavender gushed. "He is, like, so hot!"

"And, like, so evil" thought Hermione. Ew… Who (other than the simpering Pansy Parkinson) would want to go out with someone who was so mean and heartless? It boggled her. Funny… The one thing that she could never look up in a book…. Well… There was something about Draco Malfoy that made a small shiver go up her spine. It was something about his silver blond hair, and the eyes that were like little chips of ice. Or maybe it was the icy stare he always gave her whenever he insulted her. It was so penetrating, like he could see right through her soul-

 "Hermioneeeeeeeee" said Ron as he waved his hand in front of her face. "Are you awake?"

 Hermione gave a small start. She hadn't meant to keep thinking about Dra- Malfoy.

"'Mione, Snape just sent up the note that was saying who was paired with who" Ron had just gotten a glum expression on his face. "Harry's got Millicent Bullstrode, I've got Pansy Parkinson" He gave a small shudder "And you've got Vincent Crabbe"

Disclaimer: Ha! Got you there! You probably thought I was going to pair Draco with Hermione, ahhh, but there is a twist! I thought the traditional Hermione gets paired with Draco was a little old and needed something new! Yet again, I own nothing, nothing but the plot. Chapter two will be up soon!
