Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters, J. K Rowling has that privilege. I should also give credit to the writers of So Weird, because I spun off my own weird idea from one of the episodes.

A/N: Hey everyone! This is my first fic, so I hope it turns out okay. Just so you know, this story will be a Draco/Hermione (and takes place in 5th year), which is my favorite, and if you don't like them together, read it anyway, and maybe you'll start to like them lol. That's what happened to me. But why am I telling you this? So here we go...I'd also be glad if you reviewed :o)

The Mistake They Can't Deny

Chapter 1: Pansy's Profound Plan

Pansy Parkinson rushed down the hall to the Slytherin common room as fast as she could. She had finally done it-had come up with the perfect plan to make Draco Malfoy fall in love with her. She would charm two rings, one for her and one for Draco. As soon as he put on the prized piece of jewelry, he would fall in love with the person who was wearing the other ring, which of course would be her. She couldn't believe how brilliant she was. It was sure to work. Well, she had had a SMALL bit of help from Blaise Zabini with some more of the minor details, like what spell to use, how to actually DO the spell, what to use the spell ON, and...how to in fact get Draco to like her. Okay, so maybe she didn't exactly think of it, but no one else had to know that.

Pansy entered her room, quite out of breath from the "great deal" of exercise she had just done. She made sure no one was around, and took the two rings out of her robe pocket. Blaise had given them to her to use as part of her scheme. They were very pretty, one silver and one gold, both with a ruby in the middle. She hoped that she didn't have a hard time getting Draco to wear one of them, but she supposed she could just use her 'irresistible seductiveness', and he'd be convinced in no time.

"Now to figure out this tricky spell", Pansy said while taking a piece of parchment out of her pocket as well. It was the Cupiditas Valentorum charm, but she couldn't seem to get it right. "Oh, well, I'm sure it'll turn out just fine." She took out her wand, pointed it at the rings and said "Cupidites Falortorum!" The rings began to glow a bright red color, then became black. She didn't even notice she had pronounced the spell incorrectly. Figuring it worked, Pansy placed the rings back in her pocket, and headed back down to the common room, with a sly, but pleased smile. "Now to find my Draco.."

After thoroughly searching the common room and boys dormitories (with a few complaints from the other 5th year boys), Pansy still couldn't find Draco. She was about to give up when she spotted Crabbe and Goyle lazily sprawled out on one of the couches. "Do you have any idea where Draco might be?"

"Uhh, yea...ouch, I mean no, I don't really know, maybe you should check the Great Hall or something."

"Okay, I'll do that", replied Pansy as she hurriedly made her way to the Great Hall.

"Is she gone yet?", came a voice from underneath the spot where Crabbe and Goyle were sitting.

"Um, yeah, I think she is." answered Goyle, or maybe it was Crabbe, from his position, Draco couldn't really tell.

"Then would you mind getting OFF of me you big lumps!" Draco said as he tried to push them off, but they wouldn't budge.

"Oh sorry, we forgot." they said while moving out of the way.

"Thank God." replied Draco emerging from his hiding spot beneath the cushions. "How much do you weigh anyway? You should seriously go on a diet. God, are you even listening? Never mind, why am I wasting my time? Talking to you two is hopeless; I'd better hide again before that annoying twit comes back looking for me. And DO NOT tell her where I am." Crabbe and Goyle just stood there gawking as he walked away looking as though they had not understood a word Draco had just said.

Pansy rushed down the hallways yet again in search of her "love" checking everywhere she could think of. After she had looked in the last place he could possibly be, the library, she became extremely annoyed that Draco was still no where to be found. She wanted to find him as soon as possible because she almost couldn't contain herself much longer. She wanted him to fall in love with her. She decided that she would just go back to the Slytherin rooms and wait. He had to come back sometime. However, Pansy had failed to notice that during her futile search, her precious silver ring had fallen out of her pocket, now just waiting to be found.

Hermione had been researching in the library for a Transfiguration essay, sitting alone at her favorite table. She watched as Pansy stomped in, obviously looking for someone. 'Probably Malfoy' she thought, 'She never leaves him alone. I can't see why she'd like him. I can't see why he'd like her either though", Hermione giggled to herself, as she watched Pansy storm around the library looking desperate. It wasn't the best site to see. Finally it looked like she had given up, or decided to look somewhere else and Hermione could get back to work. After another hour, she was finished, and started to gather up her things and head back to Gryffindor tower. On her way out of the library, she spotted a pretty silver ring lying on the ground. "I wonder what this is", she said aloud to no one in particular. Hermione placed it in her pocket, deciding to ponder more about it later, and made her way to the common room.

Pansy waited a while in the Slytherin common room and decided to go back up to the boys' dormitories. She barged into Draco's room and was very delighted to see him there. He stood up and cursed under his breath. "Oh Draco", she uttered in a sickly sweet voice "I've just been looking everywhere for you!"

"Pansy, I'm not in the mood to listen to your incessant ramblings, and you're not even supposed to be in here. Get out."

"Oh, but I have a special present for you" she replied retrieving the gold ring from inside her robes.

"Pansy, I don't want..." he started, but it was too late. She had slipped the unwanted golden ring onto his hand.

"There, now doesn't that look just delightful" she said throwing her arms around his neck. He quickly removed himself from her embrace and the ring began to glow again, stinging his hand a bit, then turning a clear color.

"Pansy, what the HELL did you do to me?"

"Do, why would I do anything to you, silly?"

"Because you're an irritating fool who doesn't take no for an answer. Now leave."

"But Draco.."

"Did I tell you to go or not?"

"Fine" she answered, closing the door reluctantly behind her. 'God, why doesn't she understand that I don't like her' he thought as he got a closer look at the undesired present from Pansy.

As soon as Pansy was kicked out of Draco's room, she dug in her pocket for the other ring, expecting Draco to burst out of his room as soon as she placed it on her finger. However, there was one problem. It wasn't there. She looked in her other pocket. She became increasingly worried, as it wasn't there either. "Oh no! What happened to it?" She raced out of the common room and through the halls, checking everywhere she had searched before. After checking her last stop, the library, her one hope of Draco liking her was missing, and no where to be found. She realized someone must have found it and kept it. "This can NOT be good," she said as she discouragingly walked toward the dungeons.

A/N: Okay, hope you all liked that! I have a few ideas in mind, but I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this. Any ideas or suggestions would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. Ok I feel like I'm being too formal. The next chapter should be up soon since I have nothing better to do LoL. Remember to review! Thanx! ~SweetWater~
