"Maybe it's possible.. just maybe I could get along with Gran-.. I mean, Hermione.. couldn't hurt.. could it? We'll have to if we're gonna pull off Head Boy and Girl.. ugh! Stupid mudblood.. why'd she have to be so bloody smart.." Malfoy grumbled to himself after getting out of the shower. He stood in front of the mirror, throwing a little bit of gel into his platinum locks. Putting his fingers in his hair, moving them around slightly, he got the messy I'm-too-sexy look.

After everything they had been through, after all the years of Harry and him being total enemies, Draco was having a hard time trying to even pretend to be friends with Hermione. Years of insulting, and bad-mouthing.. it just came natural, and it's hard to break habits. Not to mention, the entire Slytherin house would be laughing at him if he, Draco Malfoy, became friends with a mudblood. It would be perposterous!

It would have to work.. it would just have to..

Suddenly, there was banging on the other side of the bathroom door, "Malfoy! Come on! Honestly.. how long does it take you, a boy, to get ready?" Hermione yelled, making a huffing sound afterwards.

"Oh shut it mudblood.. like you even shower.." Draco replied, storming out of the bathroom and into his room, still with a towel wrapped around his waist.

Before Hermione got into the bathroom, she got a quick glance at her roommate. No wonder all the girls go crazy when he's walking around without a shirt on.. I'd say that almost rivals Harry.. Shrugging her shoulders, she walked into the bathroom and started her morning ritual.

"Oh great.. Care of Magical Creatures.. wonder what kinda monster we'll be dealing with today.. "grumbled Ron as him, Harry, and Hermione crossed the field to where Hagrid was. About 30 or so cages were lined up in a row, each one shaking furiously.

"Uh.. Hagrid.. what-are-those?" Harry says as he causiously steps a few steps closer to the cage, only to jump back after it starts shaking again.

"Skarets.. those these are only babies, they still pack a punch.. does anyone know how large the Skarets can grow to be?" Hagrid looked onto the crowd of scared, curious teens, hoping for an answer.

"Skarets can grow to be about 10 feet in length, and 2 feet high.." Hermione piped up, smiling from ear to ear when Hagrid congradulated her.

"Correct.. now, for this lesson, we're going to be learning how to feed them. They have sharp teeth, so you'll have to be careful.." Hagrid went on to show the class how to feed them.

"That.. honestly had to be the worst lesson YET!" Ron whined, nursing the many cuts he had gathered on his fingers while trying to feed to creatures.

"I thought they were adorable!" Hermione smiled, getting a YUCK from the boys, "Fine fine.. I'll meet you guys at the Great Hall.. I've gotta grab something from my room.." They waved and separated, and Hermione took the winding track to her room.

"Toad's Mate.." she spoke clearly to the knight as he lowered his lance to her and the painting swung open.

As she entered her room, Hermione noticed a shape on the couch. Wandering over, she noticed that it was not Draco.

"Excuse me! Blaise! How did you get in here?!" Hermione yelled into his ears, standing with her hands on her hips as he jumped awake.

"Hermione! I uh.. I.. was waiting for you... yes, waiting for you!" Blaise stammered as he sat up in his sleep, trying his best to keep his eyes open.

"That's a load of toad's intestines.. did Malfoy give you the password?" Hermione questioned him again. Oh, what she ever going to get mad at Draco when she sees him.

"I.. well, I came up here to do.. this.." Blaise came up to Hermione, touching her cheek gently. He kissed her, slow at first, then his tongue licked her lips, urging them to open.

It had all come to sudden, and it took Hermione a moment to fully realize what was happening. She pushed him back onto the couch, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Ah.. Hermione.. you're not half bad.. " Blaise started laughing, getting up, and casually walking out of the room with that same arrogant walk as every other Slytherin had.

"Wha-.. the.. why.." Hermione went into her room, and sat on her bed, trying to figure this whole thing out.

Blaise sat down at the Slytherin table beside Draco, still laughing to himself, "Oh man.. you should have seen the look on her face.. "

"Good good.. now you have to play along still, alright? This will work good.. she'll give up.. she won't be able to hack it.." Draco smirked, taking a gulp of pumpkin juice. Grinning, he made his way back to the Head room.
