Chapter 2

"Good morning Drakey!" a voice cooed.
Draco Malfoy moaned, and turned over so he could push Pansy away. He'd recognize that voice anywhere, no one had that same annoying shrill quality as she did.
"Bugger off Pansy." He growled menacingly.
With a pout, Pansy obeyed and made her way back to the common room grumbling something that sounded suspiciously like "boys". After Draco had heard the door slammed shut, he sat up, rubbing his head. He hadn't slept all too well last night.
When he got to the Hall, he noticed that everyone was already there. He ate quietly contemplating ways he could make the now pitiful group of five's lives more miserable in Potions class. Grinning evilly, he made his way to the dungeons.
"Silence!" Professor Snape hissed as the students took their seats.
"Ron! Ron, be quiet, class is starting!"
"Sorry Hermione." Ron muttered.
"Five points from Gryffindor for not obeying orders." Professor Snape sneered.
"Now as I was saying, before Weasley decided he was above the rules, you will be assigned pairs. This partnership will last for the last month of the year, so get along. Now listen carefully as I tell you your partner."
Moans, emitted from the students at his last statement.
"Potter, and Parkinson, Longbottom and Goyle, Thomas and Zambini."
Draco tuned out the Professors voice until he heard his name.
".. And lastly, Granger and Malfoy."
"Sorry, what was that Professor? There surely must be a mistake, I can not possibly work with Granger."
"You say my name like it's a bad thing." Hermione mumbled innocently. However, Malfoy had heard her, but merely snorted his disgust.
"I apologize, Malfoy. I realize it will be a very wearisome experience for you, working with such an infuriating person. But I stand by what I said." Professor Snape said briskly.
Malfoy sighed, as he recognized his defeat. Well, maybe it wouldn't be too bad he thought. At least he'd get to torture her a bit more.
"If he gives you any problems Hermione, just let us know and we'll beat him up for you ok?" Draco heard Weasley whisper. He grinned evilly. As if Weasley could beat him up.
"Alright Malfoy. I don't know about you, but I want to get a good grade. So, I say we put aside our differences, just in this class so we can actually get work done instead of bickering uselessly back and forth. And if you have a problem with that then."
Draco snickered, causing her to stop her rant, peering at him confused.
"What's so funny, Malfoy?"
"You!" he continued snickering.
"I fail to see what is so amusing." She sniffed, disgruntled.
"Ah well, we can't expect that you would, now could we? After all, your only a lowly Mudblood, how could you possibly understand a Pureblood? Your too below us."
Her entire face turned red in anger, and her fists were clenched.
"Take that back." She snarled.
"No, I don't think I will." He said calmly as he went about setting up his cauldron.
"But I will agree to your truce, just for this class." He said, as if he was granting her the greatest honor.
"Fine."
And with that, the two listened to Professor Snape's lecture in silence.
