Chapter Three

Disclaimer: JK Rowling owns the Harry Potter universe.

The next morning Draco woke up with the sun in his eyes again. "Shit! Father had better get someone to close the drapes on his bed for him." He got up and went down to breakfast. "Man, he was starved. Must have been from all that work he did last night. He couldn't wait to annoy Granger out of her wits! This was going to be one good day." When he sat down at the table he happily noted that Granger was glaring at him. He smirked back. "No amount of boring classes could ruin today for him." He smirked at Granger again. Satisfied with the pure look of loathing she gave him he turned back to his food.

Hermione was steaming mad. "How dare he! Now I have to waste my time on him instead of being able to study!" She glared at him only to have him smirk at her. "How dare he! He was laughing at her!" She must have looked even madder because he smirked again. Hermione started plotting ways to get back at him. Lots of nasty spells crossed her mind. When she realized what she was doing she mentally chastised herself, "honestly Hermione you're acting as cruel as him." She quickly switched her thoughts over to her food.

Draco headed for his first class of the day, potions. When he got to the class Scarface, Weasel, and Granger were talking. "Oh, just wait till Snape gets here," thought Draco. His fiendish thoughts came true as Snape glided into the classroom "Potter!" He said "talking is not accepted. We'll just have to separate the dream team. Ms Granger you go with Longbottom. See if you can keep him from blowing up the dungeon. Potter, you're with Draco. Maybe with his help you can get something right for once. Weasly go with Goyle and do try to get it right." Draco was pleased, a chance to torment Potter! "Hey! Potter, when are you joining that club for people with face problems?" said Draco in a fake concerned voice. The class had just started!

Classes that day went by fast and before he knew it he was in Transfiguration. Turning a mouse into a stuffed animal, it turned PINK! "His worst nightmare was coming true!" Apparently Granger was the only one that noticed. She leaned over and whispered to him "Now I see why you need my help." Then she proceeded to give him instructions on how to fix it. He let out a breath when it turned into a stuffed animal that wasn't pink. "Why had she helped him? He was always a jerk to her." Then his father's way of thinking took over. "She must think I'll tell if she doesn't help me in class." Well he wasn't going to correct her, after all the more help he got the better!



Draco ate his supper before he had to go meet Hermione in the library. He had decided that he would get her to tutor him in one of the rooms he had discovered in the dungeons that Filch didn't even know about. "Now which one?" Finally he decided on the one behind the picture of the muggle torture device. It really gave him the creeps, but if it did that to him he couldn't wait to see how Granger reacted to it! He glanced at her happy to see she was having a row with Weasly. He just loved it when friends fought. They stopped arguing, and if that wasn't enough they hugged and made up. It felt like his supper was going to come up. Then he started to wonder why he was looking at the Mudblood. "Oh yeah," he reminded himself, "she's part of your evil plan!" He got up and headed to the library to wait for Granger with evil thoughts flying through his mind.

Yeah I got reviews! Please tell me what you think of it even if it's not good. I have almost the whole story planned and the more response I get the faster I type. And anybody who would like to know, I like to keep things partially respectable so unless I decide to have them get married (and seeing as they're not even out of school that's not very likely) there will be no sex or things that should be rated R.

But keep telling me what you think!
