Before we start I'd just like to take the time to say how much I do not own the characters in this story.

If I did, I would be a rich blonde lady living in England and the hero of children everywhere.

So I'm only gonna say this once, I don't own the characters you recognize, any of the crappy things you don't recognise are mine.

Don't sue me; all you'll get is a crappy computer that I'm writing this on, and twenty cents. It's all I own!

P.S. Please forgive me, my beta reader keeps forgetting to edit my chapters, plus this is my first fanfic, so I'm pretty sure it's going to suck! R & R if ya want!

Chapter 1.

'Darn it!' Hermione muttered to herself as she bent to collect up her dropped books. A loose piece of parchment, sticking out of one of her books caught her eye; she picked it up and unfolded it. There was a message on it in handwriting she recognised, but couldn't place. The message said,

"Meet me in the Entrance Hall, tonight at 9 O'clock. Signed, Anonymous."

Curiosity got Hermione immediately. Questions went around her head, "Who sent the message? Why? Was she going to go?" Over and over these questions went in her head, making her oblivious to the fact that she was still standing in the middle of the corridor, with her books in a messy pile at her feet. Finally, she realized the time, picked up her books in a frenzy and sprinted to Transfiguration.

Walking into class, Hermione quickly looked around for a vacant seat. The only one left was next to Draco Malfoy.

'Great', Hermione thought, 'This day just keeps getting better and better, NOT!'

Putting her books down next to Draco, ignoring him and sitting down, just as Professor McGonagall walked into the classroom.

' Well students, get out your essays that you've been working on and continue on with them.' Professor McGonagall said sharply, sitting down at her desk.

There was a quick minute, in which everyone got out their essays and quills, and got down to work. With her essay in front of her, her quill in her hand, Hermione looked like she was doing work. In reality, her mind was back to the mysterious note, making several confusing questions and thoughts inside her head.

Absentmindedly, she looked down at Draco's essay and started reading it to take her mind off her problem. She then noticed Draco's handwriting. Her eyes opened wide in recognistion. Her heart skipped a beat. 'Oh my god, Draco's writing is the same as the anonymous note,' she thought frantically, 'Why the hell does he want to meet me? Oh geez, what am I going to do? Aarrrrrgggggghhhhhhh!!!!!' Hermione silently screamed in her head.

Meanwhile, Draco heard a tiny squeak, coming from Hermione. He looked up slowly, and what he saw surprised him. Hermione was staring down at his essay, her mouth wide open, looking like she was about to have a massive heart attack.

Draco smirked, raised an eyebrow to Hermione and asked patronisingly, 'You OK Granger, you look a bit stressed. Too much work for the little mudblood? Heheheh' he laughed, waiting for a firery response.

Instead, all he got out of Hermione was a dazed look and her stuttering, 'Yes, uhh no, uhhhh maybe. Sorry what was the question?'

'Umm, don't worry about it', Draco replied, looking at her like she'd gone nutters, then going on with his work.

'Ok, that was seriously weird! I think Granger's done her nut in with all the work she's been doing. Ha, serves her right, the know-it-all mudblood.' Draco thought to himself.

Hermione forced herself to do the essay. She started writing quickly, looking in her textbook for page references and information, trying to keep her mind on her work and not what lay ahead that night.

Draco looked up from his essay, setting his quill down and flexing his wrist, where he was starting to get a cramp from writing. He glanced at Hermione's essay. Then glanced again. 'What the.....?' he thought, 'She's got the same handwriting as in the note I was given!'
