"Watch where you're going, mudblood!" Spat Draco Malfoy.
"Oooh, scary." Retorted Hermione Granger sarcastically. "I shiver with fear from your 'original' threat."
The two enemies sized each other up, looking for an insult to hurl, as Hogwarts students passed by unheeded.

Meanwhile, up on Mount Olympus, Cupid was watching the scene with amusement written clearly on his face.
"There is a potential romance, if I have ever seen one. And believe me, I've seen plenty." He remarked to Hermes, who was watching the confrontation down on Earth with skepticism.
"Oh please! Any fool can tell that a romance between those two is as impossible as… as Hades having a sense of humour!" Snorted Hermes. "Nothing will ever bring those two together, even with you great matchmaking skills."
"I say they will. In fact, I would bet anything on it." Remarked Cupid slyly.
"Are you suggesting," Hermes paused for effect. "A wager?" His eyes glittered at the prospect of winning an easy bet.
"Of course. I'll wager..." He paused for a moment. "Ten pieces of silver that I'll be able to bring those two together."
"On a few conditions." Replied Hermes. "One, that you don't use your arrows."
"And the other?" Asked Cupid cautiously.
"That I will be doing my best to stop this impossible romance."
"A challenge." Cupid's eyes gleamed. "Even better. I can use my other powers of course?"
"Of course" Agreed Hermes.
They shook hands and began a wager that would be the most memorable.
On Earth, unknown to two mortals, their lives were about to change drastically.

A/N: So? What do you guys think? I came up with the plot while I was watching Disney's "Hercules". A really cool cartoon! I highly recommend it.
Yes, I know the chapter is short, just bear with me for a while.

P.S. I have a much longer A/N BTW, I'll just insert it as the last chapter.
