Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the plot and all things you don't recognize,
although I will try to keep those to a minimum because I think this should be as close tothe original story as possible. As in I wont add anything like freaky relatives or stupid famous people… like Hermione loves Brittany spears! Ahh yuck no!
This is dedicated to my Pooh Bear and to Rebekah Ablett. Whom I get my Inspiration to write Fanfic. May she one day forgive me…
Ahem Hermione interrupted. "Sir will we be doing this alone or in pairs?"…
"I believe pairs will suffice ms. Granger," drawled Professor Snape " shall I?"
Snape proceeded to pair off the students in the class; much to their dismay he seemed to take joy in pairing quite miss-matched couples.
"Weasly and Thomas"
"Potter and Brown"
"Goyle and Longbottom"
"Granger and Malfoy"
"Crabbe and Abbot"
The class proceeded to groan whole-heartedly at this arrangement. Draco however was squirming inwardly at being paired with the girl he both loved and hated. She went against everything that he knew and was ever taught. She was a mudblood, she helped the less fortunate, she was smarter than him, and she liked Harry-I'm-such-a-saint-Potter and Ron-poor-as-dirt-and-not-much-cleaner-Weasly for god sakes! But after all that he found himself drawn to her. I'm NOT like my father he told himself.
"Malfoy" Hermione addressed him with a nod… but no trace of a smile
He winced inwardly, but on the outside remained idem.
"Granger" he replied, just as blandly as she had
Oh god why me? Hermione asked herself. Its ok, I can do this… he's the same person
that was cruel and malicious to my friends and me for the past 6 years.
But something's changed in him… her forgiving nature was shining through. I can at least give him a chance. After all he DID say he loved me…
"Well this potion looks easy enough, the only thing that we will have to make sure we do right is measure the ingredients exactly right and…she read over the notes again add them to the potion in the right sequence" Hermione informed him, friendly.
"Just because I'm in slytherin doesn't mean I'm stupid," he informed her. Ouch. He didn't mean to be cold… but he did what he had to get by…
"Well, this is the first time you have demonstrated otherwise" she responded as she watched him measure and pour… measure and pour, appearing to be doing it right.
" How can you say that when you don't even know me?" he growled under his breath.
"I can say that from all the times you have shown weakness, cowardice and malice for all those less evil than yourself"
"For gods sakes Granger, after all that has happened over the past 48 hours you still think I'm just pissing about that I'm never serious"
"Well prove that your not and maybe I'll believe you"
"Whatever" he responded just as Hermione added the last drop of armadillo bile and the whole potion turned violent purple and emitted a large puff of blue smoke.
"Mmyes…" drawled Snape… "Granger, Malfoy, take a sample of your potion, label it and put it on my desk please, then you may pack up and leave"
Draco and Hermione each took a sample from their caldron and wrote there names on it and placed it upon professor Snape's desk. They then proceeded to magic away the mess that they made while making the potion all the while no one noticed that Draco took another sample of the potion and slipped it into his pocket.
Draco smirked and glanced over at Hermione… oh the possibilities…
