Hermione walked into the Great Hall feeling weird because it was Neville by her side not Harry. Not that she missed him. Ok she was lying. She missed him. She missed him a lot.

She was missing him more than she should because she and Ron had already argued. All this arguing is trivial thought Hermione. They all sat down and listened to the hats song.

Like last year it was about united we stand and divided we fall. But with a twist this year things were thrown in there like unlikely alliances will be made at this Hermione's eyes moved from the hat to Draco to Harry who were both staring at her. Odd she thought with a frown, as the Hall broke into applause as the hat finished speaking, when Dumbledore stood up she forgot all about it.

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

"Draco, do you think she knows?" Pansy whispered in hushed tones that only Draco could hear.

"For a second there I think she did but by the looks of things she forgot it as soon as the old man stood up." Said Draco watching Hermione noting she was sitting apart from Weasel. "She'll remember when we are so far into the plan that she finds her self in love with Potty."

"You think it'll work then?" Pansy asked switching her gaze back from Hermione to Harry.

"Oh yeah... She'll pull him off the path of destruction that he has set himself down." Draco paused "With her love."

"She already loves him." Pansy pointed out.

"But we shall push young love to its limit into true love." Draco said.

"I hope your right."

"Something is not right." Harry said to himself.

Then he thought of the sorting hat's song, Dumbledore's speech and all the prep talks he had had during the summer. Things weren't adding up. There was something they weren't telling him. Something to do with him. There was a reason why Hermione wasn't there at Grimmauld place this summer and Harry suspected that it had something to do with him, love or hormones. And he was going to find out what it was.

For the moment he would amuse himself with the pathetic attempt Ron was making to get Hermione to talk to him. And Harry was sure it wasn't for company. More like for homework Harry thought to himself with a smirk.

"Let the feast begin."

That was all Harry heard of Dumbledore's speech this year. He ate silently when all of the plates were cleared Dumbledore stood.

"Now that we are all fed and water it is time to turn in." He said standing up, the Hall went quiet. "Prefects lead the first years to their dorms please."
Magonagol stood up and spoke to Dumbledore.
"Can Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ronald Weasley, Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson follow us please?" Asked Professor Magonagol.
