a cloaked figure walks towards the microphone...

'Hello everybody welcome back to our story'

the person takes of his cloak, it reveals young malfoy

'As you can see I'm the main speaker for today'

Me: 'MALFOY! Shut it and get to the point'

'Okok... as you can see I have to get to the main point... in previous chapters you could see some relationships grew stronger... like that filthy little mudblood '

Me: 'MALFOY ! I'm warning you!!!'

'I mean Miss Granger and one of my best friends Zabini..., today we'll continue to work on this relationship, but also on other's watch, read, and see!'

Me: 'Thanks malfoy, you were a great host...Now let's begin chapter 4 shall we ?'µ

-- Chapter 4 – First Class --

Previously:

I saw a smile coming to her face... and I smiled back at her

'You know Zabini, I didn't think talking to you would be so pleasant, because you're a slytherin and all that...'

'Same thing here Granger'

-- Hermione's POV --

""What was going on here... I was sitting on the balcony with Blaise Zabini... a 6th year slytherin... And wow look at the time, we've been sitting here talking now for almost an hour...""

I looked at Blaise and saw him like I never saw him before, as a friend...as an equal... And I think he sees me the same now, I like the idea of him and me being friends...

'You know Granger, we're sitting here now talking for almost an hour now and you know what the thing is that keeps me here?'

I looked up and shook my head. 'It's your smile Granger' I was surprised to say the least... was he flirting with me? 'My smile Zabini how come?'

'Well it is the most wonderful thing I've ever saw'

-- Nova's POV --

I came trough the curtains of the balcony when I saw blaise en Hermione still talking... so I kept still for a second, and overheard their conversation for a moment... when I heard Blaise talking about her smile I smiled myself and walked out of the shadows

'What a wonderful pick-up line Zabini' I chuckled and sat down next to Hermione.

I saw Hermione blush at that point, hell, Zabini almost began to blush so I started laughing

'What?' they both said at the same time

'You 2 look cute together' I smiled at them and saw Hermione get redder with every word I said...

'You don't have to worry 'Mione dear, I don't mind you 2 being together, you're really a cute couple' I giggled and now I saw Zabini grew red. 'Zabini don't turn red, I see it in your eyes that you think the same way as me...' Zabini glared at me but I couldn't stop laughing, it was right there underneath their noses, and they couldn't see it.

They liked each other but they would never tell the other that, because of their friends. 'You know 'Mione, I won't tell this to Harry and Ron, you know I wouldn't' Hermione nodded 'And Blaise, yes Hermione I can call him Blaise, and no Blaise she wouldn't tell it to anyone! Blaise don't get Malfoy in your head about this, I won't tell him either!'

They both nodded in relieve and smiled at each other. 'Now would you please be so kind to get ready we're leaving for our first class in about 10 minutes!' I said and left the two of them alone on the balcony.

--End of Nova's POV—

--General POV—

Hermione smiled at Blaise. And she had realised that Novalee was right, she saw the same thing in Blaise's eyes that she felt in her own. Longing. Blaise smiled back at her and leaned slightly forward and spoke silently 'you know she is right... I think we could be a very cute couple'

Hermione giggled and replied while leaning a little forward too 'yeah I think so too' she saw Blaise leaning more forward and then the next thing she knew they were kissing each other passionately. They both stood up and wrapped their arms around the other to be closer to each other.

When they stopped they were breathing heavily and smiling towards each other. 'We better get ready now' Hermione giggled and kissed him sweetly on the lips. Blaise nodded and kissed her back.

'ok like this we're never going to get ready' Blaise smiled and gave her a last kiss before releasing her from his arms. 'I'll see you in class :)' Hermione turned and walked inside her room. Novalee was waiting for her there with a wide smile around her mouth.

'And?' she asked curiously. Hermione smiled widely and giggled 'I owe you one, big time!' Ginny looked up from her bed. 'Why do you own Novalee one Hermione?' The other two looked at each other and both nodded their heads as a sign they could trust Ginny.

They sat down next to Ginny on the bed and started to reveal the story of Hermione and Blaise. Ginny sat there silently...her jaw dropped on the bed and she looked stunned. 'So you and Blaise are an item now?' she asked Hermione 'Yeah we are, but you can't tell a single soul! You know that don't you?' Ginny nodded her head.

'Promise it Ginny...what we'll tell in this room would never leave it ok?' Ginny nodded 'I promise I'll never tell a single soul without permission of on of you two' she said while raising her hand and smiled.

'Come on or we're going to be late!' the 3 of them ran downstairs and went to stand with Harry and Ron. Hermione looked at Blaise and saw him smiling at her, she smiled back and turned her attention to the gryffindors.

Blaise was standing with Malfoy. Crabbe was with Parkinson and Bullstrode. Malfoy saw the smile on Zabini's lips when he looked at the mudblood and stared at him 'What the hell are you doing Zabini!' Zabini looked up at him, his smile disappeared 'What do you mean Malfoy?'

'Why are you smiling at the mudblood like that' Malfoy looked at him, Zabini was getting angry by the name-calling 'Don't ever call her like that again' he raged and pushed Malfoy against the wall. Everyone looked up at the both of them and Zabini quickly released him from the wall 'don't call her that again' he whispered deadly. Malfoy was stunned, this was the first time his best friend stood up against him.

He kept quiet and nodded slowly and then turned his gaze towards Granger and glared at her. 'Why is Malfoy staring at you like that 'Mione?' Harry asked curiously, and Hermione quickly answered 'Don't know, don't care...' and walked towards Novalee. 'Guess someone else found out our little secret' Novalee nodded 'think so too...'

At that point one of the wizards that accompanied them towards this school stepped in the room and asked them to follow them to the school. He accompanied them towards a big building on the other side of the street and walked inside. Then he walked up the stairs and the 10 youngsters followed him. He walked inside a classroom, talked with the teacher that the exchange students were there.

'Attention students, the 10 exchange students from London have arrived. I'll introduce them to you' the 10 students walked inside 'this is Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger, Novalee Riddle, Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, Vincent Crabbe and Millicent Bullstrode.' He pointed at them when he mentioned their names 'I hope you'll be nice to them, because they don't have the same habits as we have'

He noted them to sit down next to other students and when they did that he left the classroom. The teacher just continued with his class, and all the slytherins, along with Ron and Ginny where looking weird at him because why would they have English as a class, they already spoke that language...

Hermione, Harry and Novalee noted the weird expressions at the faces of the others and smiled. At Hogwarts they didn't teach English, but in the muggle world English was a class everyone took, it was one of the main classes in high school.

When the class was done everyone left the class except for the Hogwarts students, they were supposed to write an essay about each class they took. They didn't have to take many classes, but still, for every class in the first week they had to write an essay, so they had decided when the class ends, write the essay of 2 pages and then you could leave the class.

So the 10 of them started to write. But Pansy wasn't in a good mood 'Why in the Dark Lords name would we have to have English as one of our classes? We already speak English don't we?' she sputtered under her breath to Millicent. Millicent nodded to her 'I know these muggle-ways are so idiotic, lunatic and unnecessary!!!'

Hermione didn't pay attention to it, and just wrote her essay, she was done after 20 minutes and stood up 'I'm going to take a walk...see you when you're ready' she smiled at Harry, Ron and Ginny, Novalee was also ready with her essay 'I'll accompany you 'Mione' she walked after Hermione outside.

A couple of moments later Blaise was done too, and decided to follow Hermione out. 'see ya' he just said and left the room. He quickly ran down the hallway and saw Hermione and Novalee walked outside near the trees and ran to them. 'Hey beautiful' he said when he was near Hermione, Hermione blushed. 'Hey Blaise'

Blaise looked at Novalee 'You know it don't you?' Novalee nodded and Blaise wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist and kissed her on her cheek.

At that point Malfoy was done with his essay, and decided to follow Blaise to wherever he went. He walked out and followed the hallway. When he came to the end and looked outside, he saw his best friend with his arms wrapped around the filthy mudblood and they were talking to that Riddle-girl! He knew it, why would his best friend turn to him when he called that mudblood a mudblood!

'What the fuck...?'
