Disclaimer: I really love Draco, but I do not own him or any one else.

A/N: I don't really have anything to say yet.

A few weeks had already passed by. Hermione had tried her best to avoid Malfoy, but everywhere she went he eventually turned up. Was there no place a girl could go to get away from him? Was he stalking her or something?

She walked into the library to find a few transfiguration books. She had found out in advance that they would soon be turning tiny objects into large animals. Hermione wanted a head start on it and found that all the books she had been looking for had already been checked out.

"Do you know when they will be back?" Hermione asked Madame Pince.

"In three weeks latest. A young man checked them out about ten minutes ago." Madame Pince replied.

"Do you have any others on that subject?" Hermione asked hopefully.

"Only what you see on the shelf. If it isn't there then we don't have it at the moment. If you want I can have them reserved for you." Madame Pince answered.

"I guess." Hermione sighed.

"We'll inform you the moment they come in. from there you will have twenty four hours to come pick them up or they will go back up on the shelf." Then the old woman went back to her book.

Hermione slowly walked out of the library. As she passed the last table she noticed it had all the books she had been looking for. However she couldn't see who was behind them because there were so many and they were piled so high.

"I'm sorry, were you looking for these Granger. I guess you heard about the next transfiguration assignment too." Draco grinned.

"You, you checked out all of these?" Hermione asked with fury.

"Yes, yes I did. Why? Did you need them? Oh well. That's just too bad for you. I guess you'll just have to wait another three weeks until you can see them again." He smirked evilly.

"Do you have any idea how much I hate you right now?" Hermione glared.

"I think so, but why don't you tell me anyway. I'm always up for a little entertainment." He placed his hands behind his head and leaned back in his seat so it stood on two legs.

"I really wouldn't sit like that." Hermione called behind her as she left.

"You really think I'm gonna fall Granger? It's never happened before, and it never will happen. I'm too smooth." He leaned back even further.

At that moment he fell backward and he hit the ground. Hermione had a good laugh as she watched Draco stand up and kick the chair then smooth out his hair again. He looked around to make sure that no one else had seen him. Then he saw her and she laughed one more time just to bother him, then walked away.

"Smooth move Malfoy!"

In Transfiguration McGonnagall had decided that she wanted everyone to work in partners. She would call you up and draw a name, and whoever's name you drew would be your partner for a while.

"I expect that you will all decided at least one day to get together outside of class to work on your assignment per week. The more you practice, the better you will become, and the higher your grade will be. Mister Malfoy, you will be the first to draw a name. Please come up here." The old woman called.

Draco walked up to the front casually and stuck his hand in the hat. He pulled out a slip of paper and his eyes went wide with shock. Quickly recovering he smirked and handed the slip over to the professor and looked around for his partner.

"Miss Granger, you will be working with Mister Malfoy. I suggest you two start discussing the assignment." She sighed and called up the rest of the class.

Hermione was vaguely aware of the other students in the room. Slowly she walked over to meet Draco. This was so not her month. Things just seemed to get better and better.

"Hello partner. Looks like were once again placed together. If you ask me I'd say its fate." He grinned.

"Oh you're so funny. Let's just get this over with. We will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays and we'll find a place to work where no one else will be. Agreed? Good. Bye." Hermione stood up to leave, but Draco grabbed her wrist.

"Wait a second. I didn't agree to any of this. Unlike some people, I have a social life. What if I have plans for those days?" He asked.

"Then cancel them. Your social life means nothing to me. We will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays and you will be there. Any other questions?" Hermione arched her eyebrow as she wrenched her wrist free of Draco's grasp.

"Just one more question. What time will we be meeting at?" He questioned.

"Good question. How about five?" Hermione suggested.

"Sure." He nodded and watched as she walked away to meet her friends.
