Chapter Two: Confessions

DRACO'S POV

Draco was sitting in the back of the Potions classroom, drawing a Dark Mark on his hand with indelible ink. He was looking at Hermione...
Hermione was sprinkling powder into her potion. Her hair was swaying like willow branches in a storm (A/N: Maybe not THAT wild...but so what?) He kept staring at her. She looked his way.
He blushed. He felt his insides become warm and squirmy. Suddenly, he realized she was consulting the poster behind him, the one with the ingredients on it. The blush scalded his face and his pride.
Draco looked down at his arm, where the Dark Mark grinned up at him. He reached for some water to drown his embarrassment in. His hand found the water bottle, lifted it to his mouth and...
"S**T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He sprayed the stuff all over Crabbe and Goyle. It was Truth Potion! Snape had put the flask on his desk, and he had accidentally drunk it!
"Duh, um...Draco...aren't potions...not for drinking?...Mommy says that juice boxes are for drinking not toilets...gasoline...or potions..."
"Shut up!" he snapped. "You're such an idiot! Not that you'd know what one was!" Crabbe turned to Goyle.
"Goyle...what's an idiot?" Goyle shrugged.
"Sounds like Latin."
Potter had heard Draco and walked over, followed by Weasley. "Hey! Malfoy! Got any secrets you want to share?"
Draco pressed his lips tightly together.
"Sorry," said Potter, faking sympathy. "Got any secrets you don't want to share?"
Draco tried to fight the secret burning through him, raging up his throat. "Granger is a hot-"
Snape walked over. "Problem, boys?"
"Yes. I drunk my truth potion and it tasted like-"
"Whoa!" said Potter. "I So don't want to hear adjectives from somebody who's swallowed a truth potion!"
"Truth potion?" said Snape. "Honestly, Draco. Now what do you want?"
"Granger," he said, the word leaping out.
Before you could say 'Tom Felton' Weasley had punched Draco's mouth.
"You'll pay, Weasley!" he yelled. "Not that you could afford it!"
Weasley turned as red as...well...as his hair..."Oh yeah?"
"Yeah! You can bet your-"
Before Draco could say anything, Hermione had knocked over her cauldron running towards them, her hair was flying behind her...

HERMIONE'S POV

Sprinkling powder in her potion, Hermione felt a twinge of embarrassment as she watched Harry and Ron ignoring her coldly. It was her mom's fault...

Flashback

Hermione heaved her suitcase up onto Platform 9 ¾. "Bye honey," her mom called. "If your boyfriend is still giving you trouble, you know you can talk to me."
"S**t," she muttered inwardly as Ron leaned forward.
"What boyfriend?" he smiled, a weird smile. Maybe he thought it was sexy. As if.
"See, it's...um...a long...story..."
Her mom had heard. "Her boyfriend. Drake Malff..malff...Drake something."
"Malfoy?!" Ron's smile was gone.
"That's it!" cried her mom, swooping down to kiss her cheek. "Bye!"
Harry and Ron turned towards her, disgust on their faces. It was worse than the time she had peed her pants on a field trip in first grade. She felt herself getting smaller...weaker...shrinking into total humiliation...

Flashfoward

She heard a commotion from the back of the room. She ran towards it...
