A/N: I'm sorry! My computer was virused, broke down, got stuck, had to be repaired, everything in the book. No, I have not abbandoned this story, but the problems with my computer have really slowed the whole process down. Also, I'd like to give out full WARNING that I'm working on some other projects right now, so this story, together with another one, might not be updated that often. But remember, they WILL be updated. Thank you all for patiently waiting. Hope you can forgive me.

Six: Trouble With Love

About two weeks had passed since the accident in Potions, and things weren't getting better for either of them. by now, Draco had gotten used to both Weasley and the Gryffindors. He occasionaly found himself looking at Harry too much, and dreaming of him. Which by his standards was absolutely not good. For one, Potter was gay, and Draco was currently occupying the body of his best girl friend. So physical contact would have to be forgotten. and second, Draco was weary of the feelings which were establishing within his stone heart.

For Hermione, on the other hand, things were even worse. Whilst Draco had only begun to feel attracted to Potter, Hermione had had a crush going for Blaise a long time since, so to her it was a matter of control. At least she didn't have to pretend with him, because he knew of her secret. So with that, everynight when the others were asleep, Hermione would tell Blaise of her life, and he would tell her of his. They'd get to know each other better. And slowly, they were falling in love with the other by each day that passed.

Draco and Hermione had agreed on meeting every Thursday to research about the Potion. So far they hadn't reached to many conclusions, but they were progressing. At least they had started to consider the other as a friend.

"Do you think we could use this Potion to kill Snape?" Draco asked from his corner of the table. They were both sharing a table in a dark corner of the library, going over books and books.

"No."

"Granger, are you upset?"

"No."

"Granger?"

"What?"

"Have you reached conclusions about your sexuality yet?"

"No."

"Well...can I tell you something?"

"No."

"Okay then. Here's the thing"

"Malfoy! Which part of no don't you understand?"

"What crawled up your ass and died?"

"N-nothing."

"Your lip is quivering. You're not going to cry are you?"

"No..." she did however. Draco, put in a weird situation, did the only thing he could think of. He patted the girl's (or his) back ackwardly.

"There, there. What's wrong?"

"It's Blaise. I think...I can't. We can't. I'm you. I want my body back!"

"O-kay. You fallen in love with Zabini."

"Yes."

"But you can't do anything, because you're in my body."

"Yes."

"I could always kiss him for you. Always wanted to do that."

"You couldn't. He...he knows."

"WHAT!"

"Your face is all red, Malfoy."

"He knows? Why?"

"He traped me. Before we made the truce."

"He made you make the truce."

"Yes. But...I'm not regreting it. You're not that bad. You're quite nice, once you get used."

"He made you be my friend."

"No! He made me try to be your friend. I became your friend out of own will. Draco? I did. Out of own will."

Draco frowned and looked at the tear stained face of his body. He didn't believe a friend like Blaise. He got lucky with him. And Granger...she'd confessed him so much...he should really tell her back.

"Well, we're even."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean. Potter."

"Harry? You...oh. Oh."

"Yeah. To top it all, he doesn't know."

"Harry's fancied you for about a year, did you know?"

"I do now."

"Don't worry, Draco. We'll sort this all out. I know exactly what to do."

"You're scaring me."

"Don't be scared, I'm not going to do anything you'll regret."

But Draco couldn't help but feel a bit weary because of the glint of wickedness going through Granger's currently grey eyes. He wondered if they'd switched roles so much that he'd become a Gryffindor and she, a Slytherin. Pity the world, if Granger would become a true Slytherin. Pity it, really.

Her chance to help Draco came, not two days after. She found Harry sitting on a bench outside of Hogwarts. Hermione made her way there, and sat down next to him. The boy looked pensive, all his emotions displayed on his face.

"Hello, Potter. Fancy seeing you here."

"Malfoy? Get lost."

"Tut, tut, Potter. That's no way to treat a fellow student."

"Trust me, Malfoy. The way I'd treat you, you really would not like it."

Hermione smiled inwards. She did know, actually. Which was the reason of her being there.

"Say Potter, why did we never got along well?"

"Because you decided to act like pompous git, and I"

"Decided to be the fucking hero of the world."

"Is there a point to this conversation?"

"Perhaps there is. Consider it my attempt at trying to get along with you on our last few months of school."

"Right."

"I didn't really expect you to trust me now, but we could give it a try. What's there to lose?"

Harry looked at her, and Hermione prayed that he said yes, for the good of both Harry and Draco. Harry nodded, and Hermione all but jumped in delight.

"Well, I'll leave you to your thoughts then. Oh, and Potter," she said, and being daring, she leaned down and whispered in his ear, "I think you've got a nice ass too." Before she left him completely, she left a kiss on his cheek, to give him something to think of.

Harry stood there, on the bench, his hand carresing his cheek, wondering how Malfoy knew about his liking of his assets. One name curiously floated through his mind. Hermione.

E/N: Short, but to the point. Hope you liked this. I recall having said I wanted this to go slowly. I do, but anymore slower and it'd be longer than HBP. So I'll make you a deal. I've got the basics in my head, the ending planned and all that, but that will mean I'm going to speed up the process. It will take the same amount of time, but I'll make it shorter. I assure you nothing will be left aside. Not even a very unpleasant thing for Malfoy. Agreed? Love you all, and thanks for understanding!
