It was the last quidditch match of the year and as always it was against Slytherin. Minerva was in the locker room preparing for the match when Oliver walked in.

"So Minerva, are you ready to win the cup?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Yeah I'm ready but are you ready to stop acting like I'm your girl?" she replied.

He started kissing her neck.

"Oliver, stop it." She jerked away from him.

"I thought you liked me Minerva." He said.

"I do but not in that way. I like you as a friend Oliver."

She turned to her locker.

"Oh I see well then I'll let you get your robes on and we're waiting for you in the entry way."

He left. Minerva felt kind of guilty for telling Oliver that she wasn't his girl. She pulled her robes on over her uniform and headed towards the entry way.

"Minerva what took you so long? We've been waiting here for hours." Fred exclaimed.

"It was only fifteen minutes Fred and where's Ron?" she replied with sarcasm in her voice.

"He's getting luck from Lavender." George replied.

She groaned and tapped her foot continuously. Soon she paced back and forth waiting for Ron to show up. Finally he showed up.

"Sorry I'm late but Lavender didn't want me to leave her." Ron said breathlessly.

Minerva just gave him a pat on the back. "It's alright. Well are we ready to win the cup for the third time in a row?"

"YEAH!"

The team went out hearing the chant WE'RE NUMBER ONE from the Gryffendors. Slytherin came out onto the field. Minerva just smirked at them for she knew no one could beat Gryffendor while she was on their team. She looked at the seeker. Draco Malfoy.

He's just like his father, rude stuck up and pushy. He thinks he can beat me when he can't. He'll be sorry he ever joined the quidditch team. She smirked at him as she went to shake hands.

"Good luck, Potter." He sneered.

"Yeah you're gonna need it." She laughed as she walked away.

"Players mount your brooms!" Madam Hooch shouted.

Soon there were fourteen brooms in the air ready to play quidditch. She blew her whistle and the game began. Minerva flew over the head of the crowd and the players, searching for the snitch. To her unfortunate luck she ran into Draco.

"Watch it Malfoy!" she snapped.

"Oh the little rich bitch wants to fight now does she?" he sneered.

"NO! Now get outta my way!" Minerva knocked him off of his broom but he still hung on with one hand. Once he mounted his broom he flew after her. Apparently he didn't know she dived downwards. She pulled up just before she hit the ground. As she looked behind her to see her opponent on the ground, face down. She flew upwards towards the snitch but to her unfortunate luck one of the chasers grabbed the back of her broom.

"RAPE! RAPE!" she yelled.

He let go causing her to fly right towards the snitch and swallowing it. After she connected back with reality a bludger hit her in the back of the head. She fell off of her broom towards the ground where she would meet her next migraine. Three days later she woke up in the hospital wing with pain in her stomach. She sat up clutching it and wincing, what she didn't realize that the snitch was still inside of her stomach. As she twisted and turned on the bed, her stomach churned and tried to get her to regurgitate the snitch. Finally her stomach lurched and out popped the snitch. She felt so relieved that she called for Oliver.

"What is it Minerva?" he asked.

"We won the match." She said with a smile.

He leaped for joy. "YES!"

He kept jumping for joy when a moan was heard in the bed next to her. She looked over to see who it was. Unfortunately it was her nemesis, Draco Malfoy.

"God damn it Minerva you just had to pull off the Wronski Feint now didn't you?" he barked.

"Of course. It was the only way to keep you from catching the snitch." She sneered as she held the tiny golden ball in her hand.

They both got up with great difficulty and glared at each other. Even though both of them were in their undergarments they didn't care. She walked towards him. He started scanning her from head to toe and started to think more of her. She did the same but she just sneered and walked back to her bed.

"I seriously am gonna have a worse headache than I have now when I hear him whistle when I walk by in my thong and bra." She grumbled and lay back down on the soft bed. She sighed as the sheets enveloped her body. That night she had a strange dream.

'Walking alone in a forest her enemy protected her. She followed him where ever he went but he decided to take her to the future or to the past. She wanted to see the future to see what it had in stock. As she entered the portal she saw a silvery mist with two people on the balcony talking to each other. "Oh Draco I wish this moment would last forever." "Me too Minerva, Me too." '

Minerva woke up sweating madly. She didn't know what the dream meant and she didn't want her nemesis in her dreams either. She sat in her bed for about a half an hour puzzled by the dream. Suddenly she burst into tears. I love him, even though I've always treated him badly I still love him. She thought.

Draco too had the same dream. Why Minerva, the girl who has hated me, why was she in my dream? He thought. He heard Minerva sobbing in her sheets next to him. Then it hit him. I love her. I truly deeply love her. Why was I so cruel and unkind when I love her? He sighed and went back to sleep.

Minerva cried on her sheets for about an hour before going to sleep. She slept peacefully during the night except for moans in the bed next to her.

The next morning both of them were well rested but in a lot of pain. Draco had pains in his chest while Minerva had back pains.

"God dammit. I hate it when I get beaten up at quidditch." Draco moaned.

"You're tellin' me. I have horrible back pains thanks to the frickin' chaser on your team." Minerva spat.

Draco glared at her. Just as he was about to tackle her Madam Pomfrey came in.

"Now I know both of you have aches and pains but you both need baths! Now out of those beds and into the washrooms!" She demanded.

Draco and Minerva had great difficulty getting out of the soft warm beds and onto the floor. As they walked they looked as if they were going to kill each other at any given moment until they reached the washrooms. Standing at the entrances of each of the rooms were Harry Potter, Minerva's twin Brother, and Pansy Parkinson, the chick that had a crush on Draco.

"Both of you get into those rooms, NOW!" Madam Pomfrey barked.

They groaned as they entered the rooms.

"So sis, who won the game?" Harry asked.

"We did." She replied as she took off her clothes with her back towards him. She looked towards the tub full of soothing warm water.

"So how's Hermione? I heard she was devastated when she found out I was in the hospital wing."

Minerva faced towards her brother, her nude self seemed to be glowing as she stepped into the tub with great difficulty.

"She's still devastated but she's doing okay. It took me about an hour to calm her down." He replied as he massaged her back. She loved the touch of his smooth hands on her back and sighed every time he rubbed them against her.

"Harry," she said as she turned around," have you asked Hermione to go out with you?"

He gazed into her eyes. "No but I think she's asked Ron like three times. He's said no to her every time. I don't think she knows that he has a girlfriend." He replied.

Minerva just sighed and let him continue rubbing her back. He started to massage her side but was afraid that if he touched her breast she would hurt him. After about fifteen minutes he accidentally massaged her breasts, but she didn't care. She loved the massage. It soothed every part of her body. He gulped and quickly removed his hands from her chest and went back to massaging her back. She got out of the tub feeling refreshed and content. Just as Harry handed her a towel, Draco burst in. He looked at Minerva from her head to her toes. Then he looked at himself thinking 'thank god I have a towel on.' He looked at her hips and then his silvery blue eyes moved from her hips to her breasts. Eventually he got himself out of his trance and looked away. She quickly put the towel on. As she walked out of the room she purposely grabbed his and pulled it away. Then she looked back to make sure it was completely off of his body. His face turned from its pale color to a deep red. She smiled at him and gave him a sexy wink as she threw the towel at his feet. He smiled back and hoped that she would never take his towel off again.

Minerva walked back to her bed feeling kind to Draco. She put her thong and bra on with out any difficulty. Thankfully the massage that Harry had given her made her feel a lot better. She pulled on her pajama pants and then she pulled on her black spaghetti strap. She fell onto the bed and again let the sheets envelope her. I'll ask him to become my friend as soon as possible. She thought as she drifted off to a deep sleep.

The next morning, Draco and Minerva were as fresh as daisies after their very restful and painless night of sleep. Minerva sighed as she looked at Draco with a dazed look. Should I ask him now or should I wait until he asks me? He gave her a heartwarming smile that made her look ready to melt.

"Minerva, I've been thinking." He said after along pause of silence.

"About what?" she asked.

"About us. I think we should end our rivalry right here and right now."

"Yeah, me too."

"Well," He held out his hand,"friends?"

She smiled and took it.

"Friends." She whispered as she shook his hand.

For the next few days Draco and Minerva didn't get into fights, yell at each other or glare at each other. Eventually Minerva grew very fond of Draco over the weeks and started to flirt with him during breakfast, lunch, dinner, and breaks. He grew fond of her as well. One day after the last lesson of the week, Minerva had a note handed to her by Ron.

"It's from Draco. I don't know what he wants but please be careful." He said with concern in his voice.

"Ron I'm always careful." She replied with a smile.

Lavender walked up to them and took Ron by the arm.

"Well I'm very glad that you two have blossomed a relationship." Minerva said cheerfully.

Lavender blushed and walked away with Ron

Minerva smiled at the couple and walked with Harry and Hermione towards the Gryffendor common room.

"Well, Minerva, what does the note say?" They asked in unison.

She opened it. It read,

Dear Minerva,

Please meet me in front of the dungeons after dinner.

I have something very important to tell you and if at all possible, dress in your best gown.

Whatever you do, try not to get caught.

Yours truly, Draco Malfoy

Minerva rolled up the note. Hermione stared at her in surprise.

"Why does he want you dressed in your best gown Min'?" She asked.

"I don't know but I'll find out tonight." She replied and dashed upstairs.

About two hours later she headed down to the great hall with Ron, Lavender, Hermione, and Harry. All five were dressed in their best clothing. All of them took their seats at the Gryffendor table. Minerva finished quickly and slid under the table. She pulled her invisibility cloak on over her head and lid back up. She slinked towards the dungeons as fast and quietly as she could. Once she saw Draco standing there she took off the cloak.

"Thank god. I was getting worried." He whispered.

"Don't worry Draco." She gave him her heartbreaker smile.

They went behind two doors of gold and silver. Behind the doors was a stair case made of stone. Both of them walked quietly up the stairs and into a room that contained to over stuffed armchairs, a desk, another chair, a window, and over fifteen candles. Minerva looked over at a mirror sitting on the desk. She walked over to pick it up but Draco picked it up first. She sighed and sat in one of the over stuffed chairs.

"Show me the Slytherin common room." He whispered.

The mirror glowed to a neon green color. She walked over to him and laid her hand on his shoulder. She gazed into the mirror.

"Pansy I'm trying to tell you that he loves Minerva. He said so himself!" Millicent exclaimed.

"Oh don't be silly. He loves me and no one else." Pansy replied.

"Pansy he hates it when you force him to walk you to class or sit next to you! Don't you understand he loves her, not you!"

Pansy ignored Millicent once again. "You're just jealous because he likes me, not you." She walked up to her dorm.

Minerva sighed as the image disappeared.

"Is it true Draco? Is it true what Millicent said?" She asked.

He couldn't keep it a secret anymore. He lowered his head and sighed.

"Yes Minerva, it's true."

Minerva took the mirror from his hand.

"Show me the Gryffendor common room."

This time the mirror glowed a neon red color. Draco looked over Minerva's shoulder. Minerva saw Hermione and Harry asleep on the couch, Ron and Lavender having a make-out session, and Ginny reading her favorite book: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Minerva sighed as she gazed into the mirror seeing the common room so quiet and peaceful. She set the mirror down on the desk. Draco sighed as she moved towards the window. Minerva looked up into the starry sky admiring the stars and the moon. What should I do? I love him but I don't want to tell him. Oh what to do. She buried her head in her arms. Draco paused before going over to her. He lay a comforting hand on her bare shoulder.

"Minerva it's true. I do love you."

She turned around and gazed into his deep blue eyes.

"Oh Draco." She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. He kissed her back.

The next day at the Halloween feast Minerva was talking to Hermione about the experience she had last night.

"Well Minerva I still don't trust him, but maybe I will in the future."

Meanwhile, Pansy was getting ready to look her best for Draco. Draco however was slumped in an overstuffed armchair trying to find an antidote for the truth potion.

"God I hate it when I get research projects like these." He said as he ran his fingers through his hair.

Thumps were heard all through out the common room as Crabbe ran down the stairs.

"Draco, Pansy alert!" he exclaimed.

"Oh shit!" Draco replied, "Doesn't she know that I don't like her?"

"Unfortunately, no."

Draco cursed under his breath as Pansy flung herself at him. She looked at him in surprise.

"Why isn't my sexy beast happy to see me?" She asked as she ran her fingers through his hair.

"Because I'm not your sexy beast. I never liked you, Pansy. Don't you get it? Everyone has been telling you that I don't like you but you don't care to listen because all you think about is yourself!"

Again she completely ignored what he was saying. She started to kiss his neck and un-button his shirt. He looked like he was going to puke so he called over Goyle to get Pansy off of him.

"I will gladly do so." Goyle replied.

He grabbed Pansy around the waist. She started kicking and screaming for him to let go.

"LET GO OF ME YOU SON OF A BITCH!" She screamed and squealed.

Draco sighed a sigh of relief when she was safely looked up in a closet.

Minerva went down to the great hall earlier than usual to see Professor Trelawney and Professor Lupin conversating about the fact that a Slytherin liked a Gryffendor.

"Remus, I've seen this vision ever since Draco and Minerva started coming to this school. They are destined to be with each other forever." Professor Trelawney whispered.

"But what puzzles me is how could two enemies love each other when one of them has a Death Eater for a father?" He asked.

"I don't know Remus, I just don't know."

They turned around to se Minerva standing behind them.

"Miss Potter, Why are you here so early?" they asked.

"Well I wanted to see if everything was alright and if anything needed to be done." She replied.

Soon students began to arrive to dine on the luscious food that had been prepared. Minerva went to go sit down with her friends. Unfortunately she saw Pansy clinging onto Draco's arm sighing every time she rest her head against him. Minerva glared at Pansy the whole time she walked next to him. As soon as they got to the table Pansy did something against Draco's will. She kissed him in front of Minerva. Minerva was so enraged that he didn't fight back so she left that table and headed towards the library. Draco shook Pansy off of him.

"Pansy I said I didn't like you now buzz off!" he shouted. Then he also stormed to the library.

Minerva his behind one of the bookcases just as Draco came in. She waited until he got close enough to smack him. Finally he came to the book case she was hiding behind. Minerva sprang from behind the bookcase and slapped him as hard as possible.

"OW! Jesus Minerva, what the hell was that for?!" he shouted.

"YOU KISSED PANSY! That's what's wrong!" she spat and turned to go to another section of the library.

"She kissed me! She completely went against my will!" He barked.

"Oh really? Well them why don't you go out with her?" Minerva said.

Draco missed the sarcasm in her voice.

"Because I don't love her. I've hated her ever since I met her. She's not eh one for me. You are, Min."

Minerva turned away from him with tears streaming down her beautiful face.

"Minerva, I never meant to hurt you. I love you more than life itself."

She turned back to him. Suddenly out of nowhere she threw herself into his arms and sobbed on his robes. He sank down to his knees with her in his arms and stroked her long and beautiful black hair.

"It's alright Minerva. It's gonna be okay. I won't let Pansy do that ever again." He whispered.

He let her sob on his robes for as long as she needed to. He held her in his arms. She looked up into his deep silvery blue eyes and kissed him again but this time she did it passionately. She gazed into his eyes again.

A few days after the little shenanigan with Pansy, Minerva was back to her normal self until she heard whispers from some Hufflepuffs.

"It's true," Justin whispered, "I saw her kissing Draco Malfoy."

Gasps were heard in the group. Minerva decided to change her identity so she wouldn't be suspected for eavesdropping.

"Who was kissing Draco Malfoy?" she asked.

They turned around to see Minerva.

"Minerva Potter. I saw her kissing Malfoy in the library." Justin said.

"Oh well I won't tell anyone." She turned and left while she switched from the fake identity to her real identity. So Justin saw me in the Library with Draco. Oh dear.

As she walked down the halls all eyes turned to her, glaring at her like she was a prisoner ready to be executed. She passed a group of Slytherins that looked as if they were going to attack her at any given moment. It had passed around school. She was caught kissing Draco. She broke into a run down the halls with tears streaming down her cheeks. Harry glanced at her and thought she was someone else but he took another look and realized it was Minerva. He chased after her into the Great Hall where the professors were gathered at the head table standing behind a battered Draco and a teary eyed Minerva. The professors were silent and solemn as the student entered the Great Hall. Only a few students, such as Cedric Diggory, Ron Weasly, Hermione Granger, Lavender Brown, the rest of the Gryffendor quidditch team, Cho Chang and Marcus Flint, looked up at Minerva and Draco with worried expressions on their faces.

"Mr. Potter, please take a seat with the other Gryffendors." Professor Lupin said quietly.

Harry did as he was told glaring at Professor Snape the whole time. He was the one that caught them and spread it around school. He beat Draco for liking my sister. I'll show him. I'll get my sister's dignity back.

Professor Snape circled around the two students while tears were heard from Professor Trelawney and Minerva. Remus put a comforting arm around Sybil to try to calm her down and tell her that everything was going to be alright.

"Draco you are one of my favorite students but you have sunk down to one of my most hated due to that fact that you like Miss Potter." He pulled out a knife. Minerva knew what he was going to do with it. He was either going to slash Draco's cheek or her cheek. She was right. He walked over slowly towards her while holding the knife in his hand. Harry glared at him with anger and hate in his heart. Finally the blade touched Minerva's left cheek. If he did slash her cheek she would stand tall as wounds were inflicted upon her. He slowly pulled the blade down her cheek, making it painful and un-forgetful. She nearly screamed in pain but instead she winced for she would not be a wuss as she was being tortured. He did the same to her other cheek, slicing her precious skin, slicing across her crescent and lightning bolt scar on her cheek that she received when she was only a year old. Draco couldn't bear watching his love being tortured. Minerva stood tall with her head held high. Snape circled around her again.

"Whatever you do to me, Professor Snape, I will have my head held high, standing tall."

"Well then. Is it true Minerva, did you kiss Draco in the library earlier today?" Snape sneered.

"I don't deny it." She spat in his face. He's gonna try to kill me here and now, but Remus won't let him do that to me. My father wouldn't either.if he was still alive.

He turned to Draco. "Does she speak the truth Mr.Malfoy?"

"She does." Draco also spat in his face.

"Well do you two love each other?" he sneered.

"Yes." They answered in unison.

"PROVE IT!" came a voice from the crowd.

Pansy stood up.

Minerva ran into Draco's arms. He stroked her hair. She lifted her head and pressed her soft warm lips to his while he pressed his to hers.

"Serveus, I won't let you do anything to hurt them." Remus barked.

Serveus just grinned and evil grin. He grabbed Minerva by the arm, picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.

Harry stood up. "PROFESSOR SNAPE YOU HAVE GONE FAR ENOUGH!" He shouted.

Serveus threw Minerva onto the ground. Harry walked up to him with hate in his eyes. Serveus ran his fingers up, down, and across Harry's face.

"You are just like your father when he was your age. Brave, ambitious, and ready for a fight at any given moment." Snape picked Minerva up again but this time he threw her against a wall. She didn't want to die not now but she blacked out before she could get up.

While she was blacked out Harry and Draco (can you believe it Harry and Draco teaming up together?) teamed up to fight against Serveus but unfortunately Snape changed himself into an owl and flew out of the castle.
