A/N-- Gosh people!! 17 reviews!!! I'm so excited that I decided to blow off a major report for English and write the next chapter. I've got plenty of time to do the report. It's due Tuesday and I'll prolly do it Monday night. hehe. I have got ALMOST everything planned out. It can change depending on if I want to go in another direction with this story. Some people talked about not getting to "lovey-dovey". Well just so you know, they will end up loving each other. But there will be some conflicts cuz i agree, there isn't much fun in being lovey-dovey. But I want to make them fall in love gradually. So don't expect them fall into each others arms in the next few chapters. Thanks to everybody that reviewed!!!!! On to the story!!!!

When Draco entered the common room he found Hermione working on homework. It was the first time he had seen her in Muggle clothes. He hated to admit it, but he liked what he saw. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. She had a hot pink tank top and black shorts.

'STOP! She's a Mudblood. Stop entertaining these silly ideas. She may be hot but she hates you. And you hate her.' he shook his head and walked to his room. It had been a really long day. Plus the fact that he was going to live with her for the rest of the year and spend two weeks with her on some stupid trip. He turned on his stereo. *I know that it shouldn't be able to work in Hogwarts. But just go with me here. Let's just pretend*

I'm tearing away,

Pieces are falling I can't seem to make them stay,

You run away,

Faster and faster you can't seem to get away,

Break!

Hope there's a reason,

For questions unanswered I just don't see everything,

Yes, I'm inside you,

Tell me how does it feel to feel like this,

Just like I do,

I don't care about anyone else but me,

I don't care about anyone

I don't care about anyone else but me,

I don't care about anyone.

"Malfoy!" Hermione was banging on his door, "Turn that noise down! I'm trying to get some work done." Malfoy chose not to answer her hoping she would go away. Instead she did the opposite.

"Get out of my room Granger!" she stopped dead in her tracks. Malfoy was laying on his bed clad in only silk green boxers. Hermione's face turned a deep red but she walked over to the stereo and turned it down.

"I'm asking you nicely. Keep your noise down." Even as she said this he walked over and turned it back up. Her face turned red again. This time because of anger. She waved her hand and the stereo hit the wall, breaking. She stood there in shock. How had she done that?

"You know Granger, sometimes you really scare me." He was in fact scared. The look on his face would have been funny if she wasn't scared herself. She ran out of the room.

"You owe me a stereo Granger!" yelled Malfoy as she ran. Hermione ran to her room and shut the door. Leaning against it and breathing hard she wondered: How am I doing magic without a wand? She knew someone that would probably know the answer to this. But she didn't think she should tell him yet. She would tell Dumbledore when the time was right.

At breakfast Draco received a message from his father:

Draco,

There will be a Death Eaters meeting tonight. Meet me in the forest tonight at 12:00. You must come. Voldemort has a special assignment for you.

Lucius Malfoy

Draco finished reading it and sat it down by his goblet. It burst into flames and all that was left was ashes. He sat there in a daze. What on earth could Voldemort want him to do? The rest of the day passed in blur. Draco didn't pay much attention in any of his classes. Not even his favorite. Astronomy. Potions was the worst. Draco's potion didn't turn out right when he added the willow root before the beetle eyes.

"Well, Mr. Malfoy. I would have expected better from you. After all you are the Headboy. Let's just hope you don't resort to melting cauldrons." Snape was staring straight at Neville who turned red. Draco continued to stir his steaming potion and didn't say anything. "Perhaps you need to learn you lesson before you get any worse. Let's see. Who can we test this on. Oh yes. Miss Granger would make a lovley guinea pig." The Slytherins laughed. Ron turned red with anger. Hermione stepped forward her face turning white. Snape handed her the potion. "Drink it" he commanded. Hermione managed to get some of the sour liquid down her throat. Nothing happened for a while but then---Poof!

"Where did she go?" asked Ron.

"There on the floor." Parvati was pointing at the floor. There sat a white guinea pig. Draco caught a glimpse of it before it ran off.

"Catch her!" yelled someone in the class. The whole class was in chaos. People were running around bumping into each other and knocking over things.

"Don't step on her!"

"Maybe we should," said one of the Slytherins.

"STOP!" yelled Snape. The class immediately stopped running around. "Accio Hermione." The rodent came flying through the air and landed in Snape's hands.

"Change her back right now!" said Draco surprising even himself. Snape muttered some words under his breath and tapped it with his wand. Hermione changed back to normal. She sat there confused for a few moments until---

"Miss Granger, if you don't mind please get off." Hermione looked down and saw she was sitting on Snape. It was the Gryffindors turn to laugh. She stood up and tripped on Snape's robes. She stepped forward to catch herself but stepped on Snape and lost her balance again. She crashed into Draco who caught her. She stood there for a few moments in shock.

"Get off me you filthy Mudblood." sneered Draco. Everyone was laughing and Hermione felt the anger grow inside her. She waved her hand and Draco was flung against the wall once more. He was knocked unconscious. Everyone was staring at her.

"Granger! Go to the headmaster's office right now. Crabbe and Goyle take Mr. Malfoy to the hospital wing." said Snape still staring at her. Hermione ran out of the room and to the stone statue outside of Dumbledore's office. She ran through every type of candy she knew until it finally let her through. She stepped on to the moving staircase. Soon she was at Dumbledore's door. She knocked lightly.

"Come in." said Dumbledore. "Good afternoon Miss Granger. How are you?"

"I'm fine and you?"

"Good. Now what brings you here?"

"Well. It's a long story." she told him the story while he sat in silence.

"So it's you Miss Granger. Yes I've been wondering who it would turn out to be. I never suspected it would be you. But now that I know I'm surprised I didn't figure it out sooner."

"Sir, if you don't mind me asking. Figure what out sooner."

"Miss Granger you have a power. A special kind of power. You can do wandless magic."

"Wandless magic? What's the big deal?" asked Hermione.

"Well, wands are always reliable. You could easily lose them in a battle. Wandless magic is very advanced. You are the first person in one hundred years to have this skill. From what you said, right now you can only move things. In the future you will be able to do more."

"How much more?" asked Hermione.

"That I do not know. These powers have not been thoroughly studied. You need to learn how to control your power. I want you to practice." said Dumbledore.

"On Malfoy?" said Hermione with a hopeful look on her face.

Dumbledore chuckled. "No Miss Granger, not on Malfoy. Actually I want you to keep this a secret."

"But the whole potions class knows," said Hermione.

"I will talk to Professor Snape. He will tell the class that what happened was a result of the potion. Now don't forget to practice. After you get better I will help you as much as I can to advance. I do believe you want to visit Mr. Malfoy in the hospital wing so I will let you go. Have a good day Miss. Granger."

"Same to you." she opened the door and left.

'Did I do the right thing not telling her the whole truth yet? I don't think she could handle it yet. Besides I have plenty of time to explain it to her. But it is very important she gets better with her magic. The fate of the world rests in her hands.'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione went down to the hospital wing. Draco had just then woken up.

"Hello Malfoy." she said.

"Leave me alone Granger."

"What happened to Mudblood?'' she teased.

"I got tired of you beating the crap out of me." he didn't smile as he said this but Hermione laughed.

"Well don't you think I get tired of being called names?"

"I dunno," said Draco.

"Well I do. But I am sorry that I knocked you out. Perhaps we should call a truce? You stop calling me that name and I'll stop beating the crap out of you for it."

"Whatever. Leave me alone Granger." he rolled over on his side. Hermione stood up and left.

~Later that night~

'12 o'clock. Time to go.' Draco crept out of the castle. He made it without meeting anyone on the way. He met his father in the forest. He gave Draco a mask to wear. He handed a broom to Draco.

"Follow me." they flew for almost an hour until they reached a Portkey. They grabbed it and Draco felt himself being pulled. Before he knew it he was sprawled on the ground. He got up and looked around. There were many other people in mask. Voldemort was standing in the middle. Draco felt a wave of disgust come over him when he looked at him. The 'ceremony' started as usual and then Voldemort started to speak. It sounded like the hissing of a snake.

"My fellow Death Eaters! Welcome. I have commanded you to be here for one reason. We will soon have a new Death Eater. He is young but he will no doubt learn quick. Young Malfoy. You must earn your Dark Mark. Your task isn't hard. I simply want you to spy for us. You are sharing a living quarters with Granger right?" Lucius looked at him sharply.

"Yes,'' said Draco.

''Excellent. I need you to report any mysterious behavior she has.''

"My lord," said Draco bowing deeply. "May I ask, why must I spy on that filthy Mudblood.''

"Lucius you have raised your son well. You must spy on that filthy Mudblood because I must know if it is she who will be the downfall of me. You see there is a very powerful witch at Hogwarts right now as all the prophecies have said, who will stop me from killing Harry Potter. She will stop me in just enough time for Potter to kill me."

"But master you cannot die." said Wormtail.

"Ah you see, since I have been reborn and I haven't taken the necessary steps to prevent myself from dieing I can die."

"Well we must take those necessary steps right now master!"

"You idiot! It takes many years. I don't have that much time. We must strike while the iron is hot as the old Muggle saying goes. If we can kill the witch I have nothing to worry about. Without the witch, Potter will get hit by my spell and die. But I am still not sure if Granger is the one. That's why I want you to spy for me.''

''As you wish master." said Draco bowing again. He knew what he had to do.

Da pesky kid- I don't really like fluffiness so I'm gonna try to make it real and not sugary. But if I'm getting to fluffy tell me okay? Constructive criticism is always welcome.

Kayah- Thank you so much for saying I'm a fantastic author. This is my very first story and I was a nervous wreck when I had seen I had 17 reviews.

kris- thanks! I'm keeping the chapters coming as fast as I can!

Breeze- I'm glad you like it so far. I luv Draco to. We all know under his dark glasses he's got a heart somewhere.

Kris Biggerstaff- Thanks for reviewing. I love your story and everyone should check it out. It's called Sudden Changes.

Sushie-chan- No problem. I luved your story. It's really good. I'm excited cuz I have so many good authors reviewing my lil story. And I'm always up for suggestions. I have something planned for the exchange trip but I'm not gonna give it away. J

snappyfish- yes I know. I wanted to do something different but I couldn't think of any other way to get them close together and making it believable. Because they hate each other and it takes a while to get them together so I wanted them in an environment that they didn't want to be in but had to be.

lesli- I'm so glad you like it!

lil-spitfire- I'm happy you like the story and don't worry I plan to keep updating asap!
