The next day Hermione woke up in high spirits desipte Draco`s tale of sorrow the night before. She glanced down at Draco and smiled cause he looked just like an angel with his long blonde lashes that brushed against his cheeks and his hair that was softly falling into his face. I can`t wait til Transfiguration but if I go I`ll have to choose Harry or Draco, Hermione thought to herself. She knew that they weren`t friends yet but she hoped desperately that they could be. "Wake up D," Hermione said softly.
"Go away Fai Fai," Draco mumbled borrowing further beneth the sheets.
"I never knew you slept in the same bed as Faith," Hermione remarked after giggling at the cute name Draco had for Faith.
"What the!?...... Oh it`s just you ..... Hermie," Draco said in his i`m-half-awake-leave-me-alone voice.
"Yeah just me and I thought I already told you not to call me hermie," Mione replied dryly.
" I didn`t mean it like that and I thought hermie sounded cute.........if you were 6,"
"whatever hurry up we have transfiguration in like 10 minutes,"
"Shit," Draco exclaimed while running around trying to get ready.
********************************************************************************
Hermione and Draco were running down the hallways to their Transfiguration room only to make it just as Mcgonagall was shutting the door. Hermione spotted Harry and walked over to sit with him when Seamus slide into the seat next to Harry. Disappointed, Hermione turned around and saw the seat next to Draco which she slide into with a small smile. " hi again," Hmione said quietly yet the cheerfulness was still evident in her voice.
"hey" draco said.
"errrr hi granger." Pansy said unsure of whether to be nice or not.
"Hi Pansy." Hermione said beaming happily, " and please call me Hermione."
"Ok hermione,"said pansy still slightly confused.
Does this mean the start of `cissa`s predictions thought Pansy when she caught Draco staring at Hermione with the smallest of smiles on his face. I hope so, he deserves it if Granger can make him happy, Pansy thought. Merlin! This is boring but Hermie looks cute hmmm maybe I should think of a better name for hermione then hermie thought Draco while Hermione could help but be engrossed with the lesson.
Suddenly the bell rang out signaling the end of the lesson. Everyone raced to the door while Draco waited for Hermione to finish putting her books away. " What do you have now," Draco questioned.
"care of magical creatures, same as you, ya moron," hermione said joking around.
"hahahahahahahaha" Pansy was laughing her head off at how stupid Draco was when he was around hermione. she noticed it throughout the lesson and Blaise kept asking her what was up with draco.
"oh yeah. here i`ll walk with you then hermie," said Draco emphasising the hermie.
what`s this, pet names? thought Pansy startled by how quickly the relationship between draco and hermione was growing.
*************************************************************************************************** Outside hagrid`s hut Draco was talking animatedly with hermione about arithmancy which just happened to be their favourite subject.Harry saw the exchange between draco and hermione and he was mad. he stormed up to them and snatched hermione away from draco with a firm grip on her arm. "what the hell do you think you`re doing mione?" Harry questioned angrily.
"we were just talking" Hermione said just as furious as harry however their reasons differed.
"WHAT!? we don`t talk to vermon like the ferret?" Harry raged on.
"you mightn`t but I do he`s my friend and I want you to show him some respect which I am sure he will return," hermione said in her no-nonsense voice.
"fine but i`m not gunna stand here and take this from you" harry said over his shoulder while walking back to a group of gryffindor guys.
"am I really you`re friend" draco said quietly almost afraid of the answer.
he is so cute when he`s all nervous like that thought hermione. Oh my god I think I like him. no I can`t. well maybe a little bit Hermione thought ruefully.
"yes silly!" Hermione said cheerfully while throwing her arms around him in a tight hug.
I think mum`s predictions are starting to come true, I`m falling in love with mione thought draco wistfully.
"good cause I want to be your friend too" thought draco. At that very moment Hagrid came out of his hut signaling the start of the lesson. Reluctantly hermione released draco from her death grip and sat down on the lush green grass next to draco and pansy who was warming up to her.
"sorry i`m late errr.... hagrid was it," said taryn who had only just arrived looking flushed and her robes were slightly messed up.
"had a meeting with Professer snape," she continued.
" alrigh then well today we 're startin' a new projec' on these fluffy lil creatures. can you tell the class wh't they are 'ermione?" asked hagrid holding a soft ball of creamy fur out for the class to look at. (a.n. sorry if this isn`t how hagrid would speak)
"that would be a snoogly bear. a small creature that resembles a cat however they have the power to detect the emotions of their owner`s." said Hermione smug that she knew what this newly discovered animal was.
"very good 'ermione. now I want you to pair up and get a snoogly bear. you 'ill be lookin after these snooglers for about a month and I want you to report what colours it showed, when they showed and if you could detect a pattern in the colours. and for the advance students who wan' extra credit 'rite a list o' the colours and their matchin' emotions" said hagrid.
Hermione immediantly went with draco who went to get them a snoogly bear. "what should we call it," said draco when he returned.
"ummmmm considering it`s a girl maybe we could call her Ophelia," said Hermione thoughtfully.
" nice name but how do we know it`s a girl," pondered draco.
"simple she has a choclate nose and the boys have a cream nose,"
"oh"
Just then the bell rang out signaling the end of class.
" oh my I have to go I have a tutoring session with faith" said hermione rushing off to the library.
" ok well i`ll meet you in the commonroom then when you finish"
"sure thing"
"and tell fai fai I said hi oy why don`t you bring her over when you`re done"
"ok d bye"
"bye"

Well that one more chappie down.
as I have said a billion times before I do not own harry potter or any thing in the story bar the plot faith and the snoogly bear (gotta love accounting eh taryn?) I would like to thank andrea for her constantly telling me to hurry up with my chapters and taryn for her help and contribution who yes is in the story as a slytherin and may play a significant part in the story I don`t know yet . and the biggest thank you to all of my reviewers who without you I don`t think I could be bothered continuing. Keep reviewing I want as much feedback as possible.
until next time on enemies make the best lovers.
