~CHAPTER ONE~

Unkindly, and LovePotions on The Side.

By Elise



Always her.

Hermione. Why did she even want to?

Want to what? Oh, yes.

-Malfoy. Why did she want to think that he was nice? Or even worse: Want him to be!

A new day... with Snape in Potions class. "Granger, go down and sit next to Malfoy" said the disgusting voice. -Snapes voice.

And Malfoy? She felt a sudden rush in her stomach. She turned her hed around, and looked at Ron and Harry. They were laughing. But she remembered the prom. Well, Malfoy wasn't THAT bad!

While she was walking down to Malfoy's seat, she heard a voice.

"You mudblood!" it said. But it was only Goyle. She sat down next to Malfoy, and she could see that he was trying to stop laughing.

Snape continued to make couples. "Potter and Patil. Weasly and... Brown!" and so on. When he was done with all the students, he began talking again.

"Today, we are going to make a LovePotion. Any comments?" Hermione could see that all the students heads turned around, and began talking like a bunch of sheeps.

She opened her mouth, and didn't even bother to shut it again, while Malfoy began complaining to Snape.

"But Snape! What do you mean 'no'? But.. but..!" But he didn't get things the way he wanted.

Hermione looked at Ron and Harry. They had the biggest smiles you had ever seen on their faces and looked like they were going to fall of their chairs any second. And all because of Patil and Brown. - The prettiest 4th years at Hogwarts.

"Stupid." Hermione mumbled, making sure Snape couldn't hear her. All the students found the ingridients, and Malfoy was just sitting there, staring down at the table, and had really no idea what to do.

"Granger, help me!" he said, and didn't even care to say it on a friendly way, when Crabbe was sitting on the desk in front of him.

"Yeah, sure I will." Hermione mumbled.

After about 2 hours, Malfoy and Hermione was done with their potions., and Malfoy was happy, but he didn't thank Hermione for helping him.

"I did it! I did it!" he yelled.

And Hermione whispered back to him... "Yes, I sure did it!"

"Come on, everybody, drink your potions." Snape yelled. And Snape was really furious, because Neville Longbottom said that he didn't want to like his partner, Pansy Parkinson.

Whining, Neville said, "She is ugly!"

Furious, Snape snapped, "So are you."

Hermione drank her potion, but didn't feel any different. When she looked at Malfoy, he was just... Malfoy. It was the same for... well, yes, only Malfoy. He sat down on Hermione's lap, and tried to like her.

They saw Snape walking down, and Hermione said to the professor that their potions didn't work. Snape's face was puzzled.

"Malfoy, why do you sit on Hermione's lap?" Snape asked.

"Because I want to." Malfoy replied easily.

He turned over to Hermione. "Why don't you tell him to go off your lap, then?"

"I don't want him to. It gives me a nice, comforting feeling." Hermione said, and blushed.

Snape went over to another desk, convinced the potion had worked.. Hermione didn't really have a clue why she said that, but she meant it. And why was Malfoy so unkind when he was with Goyle and Crabbe, but nice when they were ...erhm... nearly alone?

After class, Malfoy stopped Hermione. "Which class are you going to now?" He asked her.

"Herbology", she said, while trying to find Ron and Harry.

"I can walk you there if you want to, it's not too far from my Aritmancy class." Malfoy said and grinned.



Hermione finally saw Harry and Ron, but, at that time, she didn't really care. "Yes, of course, that would be nice!" she exclaimed.

Hermoine and Malfoy walked away from Ron and Harry. She turned around to see if they were leaving soon, but they just stood there, staring at Hermione like she had just founded a Malfoy fan club.

Whispering, Harry asked Ron, "What is she doing with HIM?"

"I have no idea, and I'm not sure I want to know either." Ron answered.

It seemed like it was going to be an interesting week.
