Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot…if there even is one, but one of these days I will give Mrs. Rowling a call and beg to the gods to own Draco Malfoy. Yummy
SPOILERS! Book 5.
The Sweetest Sin
"Granger, wake up!" Draco yelled and banged on her door, but stopped banging when the door sparked him, he cursed and stepped back as Hermione opened her door wide awake even though it was about 4 in the morning, Draco scowled and handed her the envelope and massaged his hand.
Hermione tore open the letter and read out loud:
Hermione,
First off, I would like to tell you that you are not a muggle born, I am actually a blood witch, but when I met your father he forced me to give up my powers and drive them out of my body forever.
Second, Narcissa was one of my best friends, and we spent a lot of time together, until her husband forbid her to contact me after I gave up my powers, Narcissa and I have not talked since you and Draco, her son, were 2.
I am sorry for keeping this from you, I was going to tell you once you were out of school honestly, I would love to see Narcissa again, but the witch sense still in me tells me that she no longer lives and I'm truly sorry for that, I miss her terribly.
I hope you are not angry with me, and I hope this helps with the picture, I love you sweet heart.
- Mom
Hermione dropped into the couch with the letter on her lap, Draco sat down next to her and took the letter and read it over again.
"I'm a pureblood," Hermione whispered, staring straight at the wall in front of them, Draco looked at her, "I'm uh, I'm sorry, for um, calling you a uh, mudblood," Draco said and cleared his throat, Hermione looked at him surprised, "W-well you didn't know so I guess I forgive you, um yeah," Hermione stuttered, Draco and Hermione got up and went to their rooms without anymore conversation.

Draco smacked his alarm and groaned when he realized he had broken it once again, he flicked his wand and it fixed itself, he rolled out of bed and walked out the door to the bathroom, without checking to see if it was locked he walked right in, but coughed when he walked into a cloud of hot steamy fog.
Hermione opened the shower curtain enough to stick her head out, "Malfoy! Get Out!" She yelled as he was wiping off the mirror, "Listen Granger, you just stay in there while I brush my teeth ok, just. Just forget I'm here alright?" he said looking at her with his eyes closed, she frowned shutting the curtain and continued shaving her legs.
Draco was brushing his teeth and glancing occasionally to the shower, he could barely see her silhouette through the shower curtain but he could tell what she was doing, he quickly looked back at the mirror with a smirk on his face.
~
Hermione's temper was boiling, how dare he just stand there while she was in the shower, this was an invasion of her privacy! She put the razor down and turned off the water, she poked her head out a little to see what he was doing, fixing his hair, wonderful, stretching out her arm to try and reach a towel wasn't an easy task, but she did it and covered herself up in the confinements of the shower.
"Um, Malfoy? Can you get out now?" Hermione asked chewing her fingernail behind the curtain, she heard him sigh and she scowled, "Fine, but hurry up," he said and shut the door, she got out of the shower and dried herself off and wiped her hair off a little, then stepped out of the bathroom and into her room.
She looked in the mirror and twisted her leb, then dropped the towel and changed into her Hogwarts uniform, skirt, slightly shorter, blouse, missing two top buttons, knee high's, changed to white, shoes, with a little platform, tie, changed to black instead of plaid, hair, sleek and straight, with at least 10 bracelets on each wrist, and an orange guitar pick necklace, black eyeliner, bronze eye shadow and curling and lengthening mascara, with a pinch of glitter.
She looked in the mirror, it started to glow then replied, "beautiful", she nodded then picked up her new back filled with parchment and quills, along with her journal and opened her door to see Draco looking at their schedules on the bathroom door.
He looked at her then quickly looked away wide eyed, she smiled and walked up to the bathroom door and looked at the schedule:
8-10: Double Potions: Slytherins
10-11: Transfiguration: Ravenclaw
11-12: Herbology: Hufflepuffs
12-1: Lunch
1-2: Defense Against the Dark Arts: Slytherin
2-3: Care of Magical Creatures: Ravenclaw
3-4: Charms: Hufflepuffs
4-5: Arithmancy: Slytherin
She frowned as she remembered asking to do the long days to get them in all in one sitting; she almost regretted it until she also remembered that she only had 3 days a week because of the work load, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. She smiled, then shocked looked back at the schedule, Malfoy had the same thing, she smacked her forehead then picked her bag back up and left the common room to the Great Hall.
She turned around to shut the door and Professor Dumbledore was there in her face, "Ooh, hello professor," she said smiling, he grinned also, "You know Miss Granger, there is a door in your closet that leads to anyplace you say to it?" he said then winked and walked out of the hallway, she stood there for a second then went back into the common room and past Malfoy back into her room and into the closet and pushed her wardrobe aside to find a purple door, she touched it and it lit up, "Uh, The Great Hall," she said, the door opened and she walked right into the Great Hall as she would from the regular entrance.
~
Draco looked up from his book as he saw a flash of light from underneath Granger's door, he shrugged and closed the book and left for the Great Hall, he kept thinking about the picture of them, and the 5 years of calling her a mudblood, he had apologized and that's all that mattered now, then his mind wandered back to her this morning, how awesome she looked, she never was ugly but he finally realized how truly beautiful she actually was.
"Oh Drakey!" he cringed and kept walking as he recognized Pansy's annoying voice, "Draco!" she yelled and didn't turn he just kept walking and didn't stop until he got to the table, she folded her arms over her chest and sat at the other end sending looks at him.
He truly could not stand the sight of her anymore, in his eyes she was the skankiest thing that had ever graced the halls of this school, he smirked a little, kind of finding it funny, he always knew she wasn't great looking, kind of dog-like features but hey, he was a guy wasn't he?

Hermione sat down between Harry and Ron and reached for a piece of toast, then stopped as she noticed them looking at her, she put her hands on her lap and looked at them both, "What?" she asked looking across the table at Neville and Ginny who were also looking at her, "Well, you look, I don't know, different, but a good different," Ginny said then smiled, Harry and Ron nodded their heads in agreement and continued to shovel food in their mouths like animals, Neville just sat there still smiling at her, she stared at him with her eyebrows raised, he bent head and continued eating as well, she shook her head with a smile and ate some toast then headed to Potions with Harry, Ron and Neville.
They took their usual seats in the back of the room and chatted for a little until Snape arrived in a huff, they shut their mouths quick and sat there while he spat out directions for the potion then got up and got ingredients and worked on it for the two hours of class.
Harry and Hermione's potion was of course a success, along with Malfoy's and Ron's, but Neville and Pansy had weird looking weeds sprouting out of their ears and had to be sent to the infirmary at the end of class.
I'm thinking of not updating this, yeah so if you want me to continue then review and tell me
