Chapter I

It was the end of the day and students were filing out. The hallways were filled with 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th years that were laughing and chatting with their friends. Everyone was having a good time for it was a Friday.

Hermione, Lavender, Parvati and Ginny were talking outside the school gates.

"So, what are you guys going to do on the weekends?" Parvati asked.

"I'm going on a date with Ron." Lavender answered.

"I'll be going out with someone." Ginny answered blushing.

"Oh really, Ginny? Who are you going out with, hmmm, Ginny?" Hermione asked the red haired girl.

Ginny blushed harder and quietly said, "Harry Potter."

"HARRY POTTER!!!" the three girls said in unison.

Everyone looked at them strangely. Hermione was the first to compose herself and spoke up.

"Congratulations, Ginny."

"Are you serious, Ginny? You are going with the second hottest guy in school?" Parvati asked very shocked.

Ginny smiled a little and said, "Yes."

"OMG. Ginny, you are so lucky. I mean I would do anything just to be asked out by one of the hottest guys in school. Second is already a big deal." Parvati said sighing.

"If Harry Potter's the second hottest guy, then, who's the first?" Hermione questioned with confusion.

Lavender and Parvati looked Hermione like they have just seen a ghost.

"OMG, Hermione. You don't know who the hottest guy in school is?" Lavender asked.

Hermione just shook her head.

"Hermione. The hottest guy in school is none other than..." Parvati started.

"Than?" Hermione asked a little annoyed with the dramatic pause Parvati made.

"Draco Malfoy!" Lavender continued.

"Draco Malfoy? Who's Draco Malfoy?" Hermione asked yet once again.

"Draco Malfoy is just the-..." Parvati was abruptly cut off when Ginny said,

"There he is."

"Who?" The three girls asked.

"Draco!" One girl said. Hermione, Ginny, Lavender and Parvati looked to where the voice was heard. They saw a girl romping over a blond haired guy.

"Who's that?" Parvati asked with annoyance, "Why is she all over Draco Malfoy?"

Hermione looked at the girl closely. She had a weird feeling that she knew this girl somewhere but just can't point a finger on it.

'Who is that girl? I think I've seen her before but where?'

Then it hit her. That girl was...

"Pansy Parkinson!" Hermione suddenly cried.

"What the-...?" The girl, who was romping over Draco, looked at Hermione with a frown on her face. She detached herself from Draco and went over to Hermione. the girl looked very closely at Hermione then realization hit her.

"Hermione? Hermione...Granger?" She asked very unsure.

"Yes, Pan...sy. I am Hermione Granger." Hermione said smiling.

Pansy's eyes went wide. She then smiled and confined Hermione in a tight embrace and swayed from side to side.

"Oh, Hermione. I've missed you so much." Pansy released her and looked at her from top to bottom. "Where have you been? You are so much beautiful than the last time I saw you. What have you been doing? Do you already have a boyfriend? Oh, you are so, so pretty."

"Why, thank you, Pansy. I've missed you too. I have been to Canada last year. I had so much fun there. Oh, and about the boyfriend thing, I haven't got one." Hermione answered.

"WHAT? You still don't have a boyfriend? That is so insane. I mean, don't you have a line of guys waiting for you?"

"Not...really." Hermione replied.

"Of course you do. You're just being modest. Now, come on. I'll introduce you to Drakie."

"Um, Drakie?"

Pansy didn't answer Hermione but pulled her towards Draco who was talking to some guys.

"Drakie! Come over here and I'll introduce you to my friend over here!"

The blond guy sighed in frustration and went over where the two ladies were.

"What is it now?" he said.

"Drakie. This is my friend. Her-..." Pansy started but was cut off by Hermione who stepped up and introduced herself.

"Hermione Granger." she said all the while extending her hand to him.

The young lad looked at her with amusement. He looked at her from top to bottom which made Hermione uncomfortable.

"I am Draco Malfoy. A pleasure to meet such a beautiful woman like you." Draco said as he took her hand and kissed it.

Hermione blushed at the gesture. When Draco opened his eyes, she was drowned in them. As gray met brown, the whole world disappeared. They were captivated with each other's gaze that they didn't notice the students, the shocked Lavender, the wide-eyed Parvati, a blushing Ginny and a jealous Pansy staring at them.

Suddenly, Draco spoke up, "So, Hermione, Pansy never said she had such a beautiful friend. How about you tell me all about yourself over a cup of coffee?"

By that time, Hermione woke up as well from her fantasy and answered, "I'm very sorry, Draco. I really have to go. I still have a lot of homework. Maybe we could do it next time."

With that, Hermione walked away towards her home. As for Draco, he just stared at Hermione's retreating back with a smirk on his face. Then, Pansy came and kissed him full on the lips. He pretended to kiss her back but was thinking of the woman that he just talked to and kept his eyes on the spot where Hermione stood. Pansy's eyes were closed so she couldn't see that Draco wasn't really paying attention to her or the kiss. He was thinking of his next goal.

'You will be mine...

...Hermione Granger.'

Dreamaker: Okay so chapter one is up and ready. I forgot to mention that all of the HP characters are seventeen years old. Yup. That's one of the reasons why I entitled it 'Only 17'. Okay and about the song, it's a really a song of Mandy Moore. When I saw its video on Myx Premiere, I was inspired. Don't worry. The song will come out sooner or later. Well, hope you all review. I love reviews. If I get ten reviews for this chapter, I'll put chapter two up a.s.a.p. So stick around and review. You never know what miracles that button can do. ^_~
