A/N-Hey guys, THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING. You really don't know how much it means to me. And i'll say it once again, please tell me where you'd like me to take this story. I have a pretty good idea in mind, but i want your input so i can write something you guys will actually like.

Aside from that, I am going to a writing class (!!!!) every Tuesday at a coffee house with my old English teacher (she's tight) and a few friends from school. So I'm not sure how it'll work out, but I might be writing less fan fiction so I can have more time to work on my original stuff. But I promise if you guys keep reviewing and encouraging me, I will keep updating regularly!

3 I love you all.

Here 'tis.

As he left class, Draco worked out in his mind that his point losing had been Hermione's fault. He always felt the need to blame somebody for his faults and flaws (of course, they were very few in his opinion), and Hermione was just the scapegoat of the day.

"Hey Granger. Off to find your boyfriends, Potty and Weasel, are you?"

"Sod off, Malfoy," Hermione, being the better person (as always), began to walk away, but Draco would have none of it. He was out for blood.

"Don't turn your back on your superiors, Granger." He threw her a smirk as she glanced back over her shoulder, which turned into a sneer as she continued towards Advanced Arithmancy.

Infuriated, Draco took three fast steps, caught up to Hermione, and grabbed her on the shoulder. "I told you not to walk away from your superiors, Granger." She turned around quickly, glared and shrugged his hand off her shoulder.

"I don't see anyone superior to me here, Malfoy," and with that, she turned on her heel and walked briskly away, not looking back to see Draco's face, twisted into a very strange expression.

Unluckily, they hadn't gotten away from each other just yet. Draco glanced at his schedule. "Great Wizards, you've got to be kidding me!" Advanced Arithmancy, just the class he saw Hermione heading towards moments ago. Grumbling to himself, he continued towards the same class.

Professor Vector hurried them in at the door. When everyone was seated, the professor stood at the front of the class, and told them, "As you all know from regular Arithmancy, I prefer to assign partners in my class, to share notes, help each other with difficult assignments, and work together on projects. I shall assign seats now, and whomever you sit next to is your partner. Okay, now—"

Oh no, please, could Professor Vector be that horrid, to assign him to—

"Mr. Malfoy, you will be with Padma Patil. Please take a seat at the third table back."

"Thank Merlin," Draco whispered to himself. He was relieved, and didn't really listen as the professor continued to read from his list.

He found himself sitting near the back corner, across from Hermione, partners with Dean Thomas, and in front of Lavender Brown and Hannah Abbott. He stared at the back of some unknown brunette head as Vector carried on with the first lesson; it was mainly taking notes anyway.

When class ended, Padma allowed him to borrow her notes. She never really said no to anything. Draco smirked to himself, looks like he lucked out in this class.

Heading for lunch, Draco nudged Hermione out of the way and stepped through the doorway. She glared, but didn't say anything. "This is turning out to be a good day after all," Draco said to himself, amused at how Hermione got red when she was mad. She is kind of fun to aggravate, anyway.
