" Hermione." Draco said pulling his head back into the carriage. Hermione looked at him, " Uh, how was your summer?" Draco asked. " It was okay. I know it's been hard for Harry since Sirius died and all. I hope we get a new Potions teacher." She replied. Draco just smiled, " Yah, me too. Snape was a bit harsh on you guys all the time." Hermione looked into his ice blue eyes. Something was different about him, he was either under a spell, or he was speaking his mind, the part that was always hidden from his classmates. " Uh, yah, I guess." Hermione said looking out the window into the lake, which the first years were now riding through in about twenty or thirty boats. Draco smiled at her. As they pulled up to the gates, Draco beckoned her once more. " Um, Hermione, I'm, uh, sorry, for all the names I've called you over the years. Plus I'm sorry if I call you any this year." He said. Hermione turned to look at him. His face had truthfulness written all over it, but Hermione didn't believe it. " Okay, I'm sorry if I call you anything this year, too." She said as they approached the school. The carriage stopped and Hermione grabbed her things, as did Draco. She opened the door and there stood Harry and Ron. " Hurry up, Mudblood." Draco said from beside her. Hermione shook with anger, but then she remembered what Draco had said in the carriage. She pretended to be angry and moved out of his way. " You had to ride with Ferret-boy? Did he hurt you, are you alright, did he insult you?" Harry asked immediately. She nodded a no, then walked up the steps.
The sorting lasted about 30 minutes, starting with Aorta, Kayla and ending with Zellman, Bobby. Then Professor Dumbledore said his greetings. " Welcome new First Years, and all old students! First Years are to note that the Forest on the grounds is completely off limits."-He glanced at Harry, Ron, and Hermione- " and, also, Please note that this year will be a very exciting, as I know many House teams need new players. Now, let this years beginning feast, well, begin!" He exclaimed and all the magical plates, dishes and goblets filled with food, dessert, and beverages of many sorts. Hermione placed some pork chops on her plate, along with some mashed potatoes, and peas. Harry and Ron, on the other hand, filled their plates to the rims and ate so much they almost had to go to the nurse.

Hermione walked out of the Great Hall, followed by two very sleepy boys. " Harry, Ron, why did you have to eat so much?" She asked as they trudged up the stairway to their common room. " What? We where hungry as hell, we had the right to." Ron said as they approached the portrait of the Fat Lady. " Password?" She asked. " Buttermist." Hermione said. " A Prefect downstairs told me as you two were pigging out." [A/N: okay, I am totally ignoring the whole thing with Hermione and Ron being Prefects in da 5th book. I personally thought that was really funny. Harry not getting it. O well, that's just me. ^^] The Fat Lady swung open to reveal a hole. Hermione climbed in first, then Harry, then Ron. Harry was obviously looking up Hermione's skirt. ' That little pervert.I need to teach him a lesson, but maybe later. ' Hermione thought, as they reached the common room. " Well, uh, I'm gonna go to bed." She said. " Okay. See you in the morning." Harry said, and kissed her on the cheek. Hermione turned and walked up the stairway to the girl's dormitory. All she dreamt about that night was Harry and Draco, oh, and school too.
" Okay, lets see what we have first in today's class." Ron said taking his schedule. " Well, first is Potions with the Slytherins. I think our new teacher is a woman. I'm not sure yet. Then we have double Herbology with Hufflepuff. Then lunch, then I have Arithmacy, and then we have DATDA, again with the Slytherins. [A/N: Defense Against The Dark Arts] Then we have a Transfiguration. This is gonna be a long day." Hermione said. Harry looked up from his eggs. " Damn." He said simply. Hermione glanced over at the Slytherin table and found where Draco was sitting. He was talking to Crabbe and Goyle. Pansy, was listening in, and trying to talk. Hermione smiled. ' I guess Draco really doesn't like her.' " Hermione!" Ron was saying into her ear. " Huh?" she said turning back to her two best friends. " What. Do. You. Think. Will. Be. The. Worst. Class. This. Year." Ron said slowly. He'd apparently said it minutes ago, but Hermione hadn't been listening. " Oh, well, I think that Arithmacy will be the hardest for me." She lied. Nothing was going to be hard for her, except for one thing. Finding out the truth about Draco's feelings. Little did she know that she would figure out in their first class.
" Welcome, Sixth Years, to my potions class." Croaked the new potions teacher, Professor Kirkland. She was old, smelly and resembled a bad clay model of an overweight anchovy. Hermione glanced at the teacher and then over to Draco, who sat two tables away. He was looking at her. She smiled and turned back to Kirkland. [A/N: the character Professor Kirkland is based on a teacher I had last year. The description is TRUE] " Now, today we will start off at Truthfulness potions. Now, take out your ingredients." Moans erupted from the class as they pulled out all the ingredients that had been listed on the board. " Now, I will be pairing you up. Okay. lets see, Pansy Parkinson and, uh, Parvati Patil. Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger. Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley.." Hermione looked at Harry and Ron, got up and moved over to Draco's table, where, it had been cleared. " Now, two to a table and Get to work, one person from each group will test the potion in front of the class." Draco looked at Hermione and smiled. " Well, well, well. Look what we have here." Hermione smiled. " Well, do you want to test the potion or me?" she asked. " I guess I will." Draco said. " Okay, lets get to work." Hermione said.
" Okay, now will each person testing the potion please come to the front of the room. Harry, Parvati, Draco and some others went to the front of the room. Hermione moved over to Ron. " So, how was it, making the potion with the ferret?" Ron asked. " It was alright." Hermione replied. She glanced at Harry, and then to Draco, both were watching her. She smiled at both. ' I hope nobody ask the question.' she thought as Kirkland called up the others. " Now, listen, I will allow five people to ask one question to the person drinking the potion. Okay, Mrs. Patil, will you please drink the potion?" Parvati drank the green potion down reluctantly, as if it were poison. Then she went calm, and still. " Okay, now, somebody ask a question." " What's your favorite color?" someone asked. " Pink" Parvati said. " Who's your favorite teacher?" someone else asked. " Professor Trelaway." " What's your favorite subject?" " Crystal Gazing." " Are you a muggle-born?" " No." " Are you a supporter of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named?" " No." " Okay, now, lets leave her for a couple of minutes, she'll be back to normal soon." Kirkland said, " Malfoy, Granger, prepare your next." Hermione looked at Draco, and took the ladle, poured the potion into a small goblet, and handed it to Draco, as Parvati came back to her senses. " Now, Malfoy, Granger, your turn." Draco moved up to Kirkland, and drank the potion. "Okay, questions." Kirkland said seeing the dazed look on Draco's face. " Are you a follower of You-Know-Who?" Seamus asked. " Yes." Draco said. " Do you like potions?" "No" " Are you glad you were sorted into Slytherin?" "Yes." "What's your favorite Bertie Bott's Beans Flavor?" "Peppermint." "Who do you like?" There was a pause, In which Pansy gleamed a little bit too much, just to be disappointed. " Hermione Michelle Granger." He said, and the room fell silent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Okay, its kinda short for me, but I'll deal. Okay, I'll have more in a night or two, I'm sorry, for the whole Truthfulness potion thing, I know, I know, its used too much. But what else is there to say that can put a spell on somebody to tell who they love? If you know, tell, me. And I have word for you ppl.
