The 7th chapter is where things start to come together in the main charecters minds. Read and you'll see what I mean...
Putting the plan into action
The next morning when they headed down to the Great Hall, they were holding hands. As they stepped in everyone stared in horror and shock at the couple standing before them. Even the Slytherins were in shock. They walked over to his table again. They sat down and were pummeled with questions. The 5 w's and more. They smiled at the shocked faces. Pansy burst into tears as they confirmed her fears that they were dating. It was all working out as planned. Harry, Ron, Ginny, and the other Gryffindors looked scandalized. After they ate they left the Great Hall to head for their first class together, Potions. When they stepped out Hermione's other wrist was grabbed and pulled.
"What the fuck!" she yelled as Draco's hand slipped out of her's. Suddenly a hand covered her mouth and she saw Ron's brown eyes staring into hers..
"Shhhhh. What kind of curse did Malfoy put on you?" she kicked hm in the balls as hard as she could and he stumbled back.
"No curse. And if you ever lay your hands on me again I will officialy see to it that your life will be a living hell from now on!" she ran back to Draco. They walked to Potions despite her accelerated heart rate. "That was fun." she said. He smiled.
"You sure hurt him."
"Oh well." she said as they stepped in. They sat in the farthest seat from the desk in the front of the room. As soon as they sat down Snape walked in.
"I see Mr.Weasley is not here yet. 20 points from Gryffindor." the other Gryffindors moaned. "Today we will be making the Truth potion. Read the indgridients carfully as you will be testing the potion on the person sitting next to you." the whole class got to work immediately.
"First we add a scale of a merperson. Then hair of a magic rabit. Stir twice counter clock wise. Tooth of a gindylow and a dragons eye. Stir until thick and orange." a half hour later they had to test the potion...
"Pick a person to be asked first. Let them drink part of the potion and ask them 5 questions. Repeat with the next person."
Hermione drank the first half of the potion. "Ok."
"Were you ever really friends with Weasley and Potter?"
"No."
"Are you enjoying sitting at the Slytherin table?"
"Yes."
"Do you like anybody in this room?"
"Yes."
"Do I know him?"
"Yes."
"Is he in your house?"
"No."
He drank the rest of the potion. "Ok."
"Do you enjoy hanging out with me?"
"Yes."
"Did you ever really hate me?"
"No."
"Why did you torment me?"
"I was forced to so I can hide my true feelings towards you."
"What are your true feeling?"
"I like you as a lot more than friends."
"Did you have any intention on becoming a Death Eater?"
"In the begining yes. Now no."
"Ok." they put some in a vile and brought it to the front of the room.
"Very good. Now I will ask you both a question. Miss Granger, tell me truly what you think about me."
"I hate you. You are an old slimy git with greasy hair, a huge ass nose, an ugly face, and an attitude problem. And personally, I do believe you were a Death Eater and haven't changed to terribly much. Also, you should jump off a cliff cause no one that I know likes you." she smiled. "And I didn't need a truth potion to tell you that."
"Fine. Mr. Malfoy, what do you think of Miss Granger here?"
"Who?"
"Fine, Miss Ferrain."
"I think she is a wonderful friend, a worthy adversary, and she is hott. I like her for the way she is and I hope no one changes her." he said with a big grin.
"You may go."
"Goodbye Grease Ball." they said together and bolted out the door in a flash laughing their heads off.

Later that night they were sitting by the fire with a large stack of papers infront of them.
"Well, we need to sort out all these papers. For the teachers. You take one half and I'll get the other-" Draco said and she laughed. "What?"
"Are you stupid? Hello we go to Hogwarts school of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY. What part of we own wands do you not get?"
"Oh. Yeah."
"Men really are idiots..." she said and sighed dramatically.
"Oh do shut up." an owl pecked at the window. They took the letter off the owl and read it.
Dear Miss Ferrain and Mr. Malfoy,
I have your first task. You must write a play, direct it, star in it, and host auditions. If you recieve a good review from the students, your first task will be completed. Start writing I need the script in 2 weeks.
Albus Dumbledore
"Awesome!" they said together.
"Let's get to work now. I'll get food so we can eat up here. Is that ok?" she said.
"Yeah. Bring chocolate."
"Duh. See you in a few." she returned 15 minutes later with three bags of food. As they ate Hermione, who was better and faster at writing, took notes.
"How about a story about a boy and girl who get orphaned and turn into street predatrors looking for their parents killer?"
"Daredevil. How about a story about a boy who is suicidal and needs help but no one is there to help him. It brings awareness to that issue."
"To depressing. How about a play about this guy who gets kicked out of school for being a pyro and returns a year later to a school of stereotypical people that shun him?"
"Interesting... but it's taken."
"Really?"
"Yeah the play Bang, Bang You're Dead. How about a girl who runs away from home and goes through struggles while she tries to pull her music career together?"
"That's good. Is it taken?"
"I'm not sure. But we can twist it up and make it really cool."
"Ok. Cool." she wrote down the main idea. "Now we need charecters. The main charecter. How about Aiden?"
"That's cool. Now the guy. How about Dylan?"
"Good. Opposite name meanings."
"What?"
"Aiden means fiery. Dylan means from the ocean."
"Ohhh. Cool. What music is she gunna play?"
"If I have to sing it, rock music."
"Ok. How about we start off on the day she runs away?"
"Ok. Why will she run away?"
"I dunno..."
"How about her parents tell her she is worthless and no good?"
"How did you come up with that?"
"No place in particular." she said and looked back to the tablet she was writing in.
"Ok. Where will the story take place?"
"New York City."
"Why?"
"Huge city. Lots of rich people and stars."
"Ok. Sounds perfect."
"Now onto the other charecters."
"Her parents. His best friend. A music instructor. A music school director. Popular girl and posse-"
"Did you just use the word posse?"
"Yeah."
"Oh god you're going poser." she muttered.
"His girlfriend in the begining. Aiden and Dylan fall for each other."
"Ok. His other friends. And extras."
"Ok. Is it gunna be muggle or magic?"
"Muggle. Just to piss some purebloods off."
"Hey we're pureblood."
"And we are also not judgemental."
"Point proven. We'll start on the real script tomorrow."
"Ok."
"I'm gunna go to bed."
"Same. g'night."
"Night." they go to their rooms and change into pajamas and lay in bed. Neither of them can sleep. Hermione decides to go see i Draco was awake. She sliped out of bed and stepped out her door only to come face to face with Draco.
"Couldn't sleep. You?"
"Same."
"Go sit on one of the couches. I'll be right back."
"Ok." he did and she went to the kitchen and made two cups of hot cocoa. She walked into the common room and saw him staring out the window.
"Here you go Draco." she said and handed him a cup.
"Thanks."
"No problem." she put her cup down and pulled the futon out.
He noticed her rubbing her shoulders. "Shoulders hurt?"
"Yeah. Pulled a few muscles."
"Come here." he said and she raised an eyebrow," I'll give you a shoulder massage." she walked over and sat down infront of him. "It might hurt at first but it'd the only way to loosen it."
"Ok." he started massaging her shoulders and she winced. After a minute or so she started to feel relaxed. "Wow."
"Thanks."
"You're really good."
"Cool. Is it helping?"
"Yeah."
"Ok." she took a sip of her hot cocoa and smiled at the warmth that spread through her body. she felt so happy around him. She was actually truly happy for the first time in a while. A knock on the door shook her from her trance. "I bet you it's a group of Gryffindors." she said and walked over to the door. She opened it and saw no one. Knowing well what it ment she stepped aside and closed the door after a few seconds.Ron, and Ginny stepped out of the invisibility cloak.
"What the hell are you doing with that thing!" Ginny shouted. Hermione waved her hand and cast a silencing charm on the tower. "I mean he's hott but he's a Malfoy!"
"Yeah Herm. what the hell is wrong with you!" Ron said slightly red in the face and neck.
"What do you mean what is wrong with me? And Draco is by the fire listening to every word you say about him and his girlfriend."
"So not like he could do anything to us." Ron said and snorted.
"Why the fuck do you care what happens to me? You should know better than to come here after what you did to me."
"Oh shut up. We're worried that's all. We're speaking for all the Gryffindors when we say that we are afraid of what is gunna happen to you."
"Excuse me? He's treated me better in the last month than my supposed best friends have in the last 6 1/2 years!"
"Hermione, he breaks good girls like you!" she started rubbing her temples.
"Me? Good? Whatever."
"You'll come crawling back like always!"
"Like always? Yeah sure whatever. Expect me back when hell freezes over and Ginny stops being a slut."
"WHAT!" the two of them yelled together.
"You heard me. And get out of our dorm now."
"Or what?"
"detention with Snape for harrassing us in our dorm." their faces paled and they flew out of the room.
"Idiots." Draco said. He saw Hermione walk to the bathroom and he followed her. He stepped into since the door was open and leaned against the wall. SHe pulled a perscription bottle out of the cabinat and took out two big white pills and put them in her mouth washing them down with some water from the sink. She turned, saw him, and jumped.
"You scared me."
"Come on you look tired."
"Yeah."
When they reached the common room she layed on the chair and summoned a blanket from her room. "What are you doing?"
"Going to sleep."
"There?"
"I can fit here unlike you."
"But your shoulder-?"
"Don't worry. I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. You'd swear you were my boyfriend."
"We are faking it though. I'll be fine Draco. Really I will be."
"Ok Hermione. Goodnight."
"Godnight again." within minutes they were in a deep sleep...
PLEASE R&R! pweeezzzeeee?
