Summary: An anomalous story of the Slytherin Prince and the Gryffindor Princess, filled with frosty scenes, refreshing exhilarations and a small white square gum... Draco/Hermione

Disclaimer: Harry Potter does not belong to me nor does Eclipse. Although I love that gum, it belongs to Wrigley's!This disclaimer goes for all chapters because I'm too lazy to type it again.

Chapter One- Gum Paper Thingy
"Granger, what have been busily chewing on all day?" asked Malfoy, trying not to show any interests. "We have a project to do and all I hear is your senseless chewing. It's annoying as hell."

Hermione, the Head-Girl with bushy hair and caramel eyes looked over at her nemesis and stuck out her tongue, displaying a white glob.

"Merlin's hat!" Malfoy exclaimed, surprised. "It looks like a wad paper! Granger, you're not eating paper, are you? I didn't think you were that stupid... I mean, of course you are, but—"

"Malfoy!" The Head-Girl exasperated, rolling her eyes. "I'm not eating paper. I'm chewing gum."

"What's gum?"

"It's candy." Snapped Hermione. Why did he have to be Head-Boy? Merlin, Harry should've taken this spot! She thought, whining desperately in her head. Of all the people, I have to be stuck working with this prat! Snape must really hate me.

Malfoy became silent; his eyes kept flicking over to her mouth every time he thought she wasn't looking. The way she licked her lips, her jaw moving up and down... How that gum paper thingy was stuck to her soft lips every now and then and....

Hell! Malfoy mentally slapped himself. What the hell am I thinking? Fuck, it's Granger! Mudblood Granger for Merlin's sake! If only Father could hear me now... Oh who cares, he's dead anyways...

But then again... she's making that gum paper thingy look delicious... Malfoy thought. Dammit, I'll have to hex myself after asking this... especially to Granger!

"Merlin," He whispered.

Hermione looked over, her eyebrows dewed together in curiosity. "What Malfoy? Your ignorant brain can't handle the work?"

The Slytherin Head-Boy chose to ignore her boorish comment. "Shit, I can't believe I'm going to ask something from you."

An evil smirk twitched at the corner of Hermione's lips. "Oh? Yes, Malfoy?" She asked sweetly, her voice dripping with artificial sugar.

Malfoy twitched his nose, looking deeply disturbed by his adversary's tone of voice.

"Let me have a piece of that gum paper thingy." He demanded.

Hermione looked at him questioningly and went back to her reading. Here she was, expecting him to ask her something important, but no, he wanted gum. Idiot bastard. Such a rude, idiotic bastard. The words ran freely through her mind.

"Granger!" The Head-Boy commanded.

However, she continued to ignore him.

"I know you hear me! You may be dumb, but you're not deaf!"

She resisted the urge to take out her wand and hex him. How dare he insult my intelligence! Why, I bet galleons that I'm smarter than him!

"Granger!" Malfoy called again, but to no avail. Frustrated, he grabbed her book.

"Malfoy!" She screamed.

The librarian glared at them and Hermione sheepishly muttered, "Sorry."

She quickly whipped her eyes back to Malfoy who stood up a few feet away. "Malfoy!" She growled softly. "Give me back my book!"

"No." He remarked.

Angrily, she marched towards the smirking boy.

"Why not?" She reached for the book, but Malfoy was too tall.

"Because," said Malfoy simply. "I want to taste the gum paper thingy."

"It's muggle candy. I thought you hate muggles." Hermione frowned.

"No matter."

"Fine. But only if you give me my book back."

The Slytherin Prince nodded and lowered her book a few inches within her arms' reach.

"Here," Hermione dug her hand into her robe's pocket and pulled a little plastic tray wrapped with foil paper labeled 'Eclipse'. Pinching the foil paper a bit, it ripped and she held the little white square out.

Malfoy hesitated, but his hand slowly reached out to take it.

"Put it in your mouth and chew." She said, disposing the tiny white square into Malfoy's outstretched hand.

Carefully looking at Hermione and then at the piece of gum in his hand, he plopped it into his mouth and began to chew.

As if in deep thought while slowing chewing, he declared, "It makes me feel... tingly..."
