ok, first off, Harry and all them are in their 7th year. Second, Hermoine
and Draco are the Head's of their houses. Harry isn't one for no fact other
than it would inconvinience me. And lastly, this is my first HP fic so if
it really sucks plz don't yell at me. If you find any major flaws with my
story, review and let me know. If it's possible for me to change it and not
greatly effect the outcome of my story i'll change it.
oh and another thing, basically the whole story is in Hermoine's point of view (you don't know that much more than she does) I don't own Harry Potter or any of the other charactors

She sat in Potions class near Harry and Ron. Normally she did really good in this class and kept Ron or Harry from putting in the wrong ingredient in their cauldrons, however, this time it was them who kept her from making the mistakes.
"What's wrong Hermoine? Usually you're much better at this than we are."
"Shut up Ron!" Hermoine snapped. She just didn't seem to be able to focus today. Her eyes kept wandering over to the insufferable, blonde Slythering who has tried to make their stay at Hogwarts as miserable as possible.
"Earth to Hermoine" Harry said, waving his hand in front of her face. "You still with us?"
She shook her head and forced her eyes away from Malfoy "Yeah, I'm fine."
"You sure? You've been spacing out a lot lately."
"Harry, I'm fine."
"Then hurry up and finish you potion, before Snape sees you and takes points away from Gryfindor."
She got busy and went to work. After a few minutes, however, she couldn't help but look at Malfoy again. Normally she couldn't stand the sight of him, but for some reason her eyes were drawn to him. 'What's wrong with me?' She thought to herself with a sigh.
Just as she was about to look away, he looked up at her.
'Oh my god' she thought as she frantically looked away, feeling her face flush with embarrassment. 'Ohmygodohmygodohmygod' she mentally chanted as she tried to make it look like she was doing her work instead of looking at him.
As the class was coming to an end and everyone had turned in a sample of their potion, Snape reminded the class of their N.E.W.T.S. "And you better study because I can assure you that mine won't be easy."
"Great" muttered Harry as they walked into the hallway, "Just what I need, assurance from Snape that the test will be hared."
"Don't be a baby Harry," Hermoine said with and exasperated sigh, "You knew before that his test would most likely be the hardest. There is no way he's make it simple enough that you wouldn't need to study in order to pass it."
As they made their way to lunch Hermoine suddenly stopped. "I forgot something in my room. Go ahead, I'll meet you guys there." She turned and walked toward the Head dormitories.
When she was almost their, she ran into Malfoy, who (for once) wasn't with Crabbe and Goyle. "What are you doing here, Malfoy" She really didn't want to deal with him right then
"I was about to ask you the same thing, Granger. Shouldn't you be off at lunch with the weasel and Scar Head?"
Hermoine just glared at him and moved to walk around him and continue her way to her room. But as she passed him, he grabbed her arm. "Wait a sec, Granger. I need to talk to you, and it would be best if Weasly and Potter weren't around."
'Great,' she thought, 'what could he possibly have to say to me besides insults?' then a frightening thought hit her. 'Wait a sec, what if he DID see me watching him in class?!' She quickly covered her panic and tried to act as annoyed as she should. "What could you possibly have to say to me? And if it's more of your mudblood insults, just let me be 'cause I really don't have the time."
"I actually wasn't going to insult you," Malfoy said, as he nervously shifted his weight from one foot to the other. For once, in all the time Hermoine had known him, he didn't look as sure of himself or bigheaded. He actually almost seemed... scared.
"Well then, what do you want?"
"I- I just- I wanted to ask-" He closed his eyes in frustration, obviously not used to the in articulation. "You know and I both know that you are one of the three last people on earth I would ever ask for a favor, but the N.E.W.T.S. are coming up and you are the only person in this school who would know almost all of the stuff that's going to be on the tests."
She almost burst out laughing. "You- you're asking me to tutor you?!"
His face turned red, but she knew it was out of embarrassment and not anger. "No! It's just that- I have to make sure I pass- No, I have to make sure I ACE those tests."
"Why? So you could finally prove you're better than the three of us? Better than me?"
"If it was for that, do you think I'd come to you for help?"
"Why then?"
He just looked down, not saying anything at first. When he brought his head up and looked into her eyes, she seen something she'd never seen in him before. It was like he was showing her a piece of his soul. "So my father won't kill me."
"What?!" She asked, not believing what he just said. "But he's in Azkaban"
(A/N: Explanation will come later) " Do you really think they could keep him in there without the Dementors? Besides, he'd do it if I did anything to disgrace the family name."
"Wouldn't that include asking a MUDBLOOD for help?" He sighed. "Please. I'll give you anything... Just name your price."
She just stared at him, knowing he was expecting an amount of money, but she had a different idea. "I want you to never, EVER, insult me or my friends again." He stared at her.
"Done"
"No matter what they say or do."
"Fine, whatever you want, just please say that you'll do it."
"...Alright. Meet me in our common room at 10." "I'll be there." She nodded and continued on her way to her dorm... *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
That's only the first chapter, but there's much more to come. How'd you like it? It was good, so-so, sucked, Tell me! i need to know. Just press that little button at the bottom of your screen and tell me what you think. Thanks.
