Draco gave Pansy a suspicious look. Hermione wasn't about to lose her best friends for Draco, she loved him but was in position to give everything up for him. She acted quickly. "Pansy look, nothing is going on between us. I was only helping him with his school work. Being a pureblood doesn't make up for knowledge I suppose." Hermione said trying to hide her pain. Draco looked horrified at Hermione, "What are you talking about? I thought you---? I knew we should have never happened. I was always right about you. You are nothing but a filthy little mud blood." He said before turning to Pansy. "Was this your other way?" he asked, masking his pain. Pansy eyes flashed with enjoyment as Draco stormed off towards the dormitory. "You, know Hermione. That wasn't what I had in mind; I was going to suggest that you two announce to the school your love. But now that I have seen this I suppose that would ruin everything for you, not that you already haven't." Pansy said in a sly and amused tone. "I have decided that I will help you win him back. It's the least I can do. Of course if you don't want him back I'm sure I can find someone else who does." Hermione's brown eyes almost doubled in size at the idea that someone else could have Draco for their own. 'I did mess everything up though; he'll never take me back.' She thought. 'But I can't give up on him, not considering his family life and the fact that he's got no friends.' She looked at Pansy, considering weather or not to believe the person that had cause all the problems. Pansy had seemed somewhat sincere in her efforts. Hermione decided that maybe Pansy was the only way to win back Draco. She would just have to take a risk. "Alright then, you can help me. I want him back; no one else will have him. No one." Pansy gave Hermione one of her most sly grins. Her plan was going perfectly as planned. "Well, it is late. I'll send you an owl in the morning since I don't guess you want to be seen talking to a Slytherin." Pansy told Hermione before heading off the Common Room. 'Well, at least Hermione has one thing straight in that frizzy little head of hers. No one will have Draco. No one.'

a/n: I wrote this chapter rather fast, so I don't think its really any good, but review and let me know how I'm doing. The story is kind of choppy I know, it's supposed to be that way because there's a twist at the end. (It's my first fanfic by the way; don't be afraid to tell me what you really think.) (Oh and sorry about the short chapters, everything just comes to in sections!) ________________________________________________________________________
