A/N: Man, I was up all night trying to figure out what to write for the next chapter. I didn't get any sleep at all.

Thanks to all those who reviewed! It definitely helped!

------------------------------------------------------

Draco sat in Potions; cursing Dumbledore like there was no tomorrow. He called the man every name in the book, even a "butthead" he was that angry. The stupid git wanted more "inter house relations" Now he was stuck in potions working with none other than the great "Boy Who Lived". Ugh.

On less depressing matters, he had at least come up with a possible plot for revenge. He was going to break up that stupid little trio. It didn't seem very spiteful at first, but after a bit of thinking he came to the conclusion that he would love nothing more than to see Dumbledore's golden students hexing each other to hell and back.

'Yes,' he thought to himself, 'that would be a lovely site.'

------------------

Pansy was having a difficult time containing herself. She had to work with the mudblood wench, cuz Dumbledore was in a stupid "everyone love everyone" mood. No way was she ever going to be friends with that sorry excuse for a witch.

Just as she was plotting how to get Granger into trouble there was a loud crash followed by a "look what you did Potthead!" She smiled to herself. Of course Draco wasn't going to work quietly with Potter. She had seen him knock the bottle down himself, as did most others. In fact, he had probably knocked it down on accident, made it look like he had done it on purpose, then made it look like Potter had done it.

Draco turned around and smirked at her. She gave him a wicked smile back. She loved him from the bottom of her heart. She knew that the only reason no one messed with her was because she was part of Draco's crew. And she was intelligent and could hex them so bad they'd wish they were dead. When it came to the Slytherin house, she was second only to Draco.

------------------

Harry was getting increasingly angry. First he was stuck working with this messed up prat, and now the a-hole had lost Harry house points, because you know that Snape couldn't just write off the broken bottle as an accident! He hoped Hermione was fairing better with Pansy, but from the wicked smirk on her face, he didn't think so.

------------------

Hermione was bored. All class period she was stuck with the Parkinson chick. All she wanted to do was go to the library and check out dreams. She could not figure out why in the world she kept having that stupid dream, or what it was she kept forgetting about it. She noticed the interplay between Draco and Pansy.

'I wonder if those rumors are true...' she had heard many a rumor lately about those two. Many believed Pansy was Draco's personal whore. But the way Draco seemed to need Pansy's approval, didn't point in that direction.

------------------

Draco noticed the bored look on Hermione's face. 'Shouldn't she be perturbed that she had to work with Pansy?' he thought. But he noticed that, while neither one seemed particularly happy, they weren't at each others throats like the other students. They calmly worked to get their potion finished, each keeping their distance. The more he watched them, the more he realized that they looked quite a lot alike, except that Pansy's hair was straight as a stick, and Granger's curled all over the place. 'what a co-inkee-dink'

A/N: Okay, I know, still not much plot, but I do actually have a story line thought out now! Thanks again to all those who reviewed, and to shymmeri for the great rose idea!

P.S. the title of this chapter has something to do with what happens next in the story
