"Please don't take my baby."A woman said

"We have our son, the girl needs to go or she will be killed."a man said

"But they're twins we can't separate them."the woman said again.The man slapped her hard across the face before taking the baby girl from her arms and leaving the house.

"I will get her back not even Voldemort is worth losing our child."

Hermione woke up in a sweat she looked around and saw that her roomates were already gone. She dressed quickly and ran down to the great hall.She saw Blaise in the entrance hall with a few Slytherin's, she knew she had to talk to him now.

She pulled him aside and got right to the point "Did dad ever tell you that he got rid of me?"

"What?" Blaise asked.

"I just had a dream, a nightmare. Dad took me from mom and said that they had their boy but the girl has to go or she'll be killed. Why? Why would it matter if I was a girl? Why would they have to kill me?"

"You drempt that?"

Hermione nodded.Blaise looked at Draco.

"Girls aren't allowed in the inner circle, only males.It's some sorta thing with Voldemort, he only wants boys."

Hermione nodded then walked into the great hall but she turned around at the door to look back at Blaise.

"What'll happen to me now that mom got me back?"

Blaise didn't answer he just looked down at his feet.

"That's what I thought.I guess being a pureblood is about the same as being a mudblood. We just have no chance."She then turned and walked to Harry.

During potions Hermione could barely pay attention to what Professor Snape was saying.Blaise kept trying to get her attention, but it wasn't happening.

"Can anyone tell me what potion I'm refering to?"Snape looked around and noticed that not even Hermione raised her hand which caused him to smirk.

"Miss Zambini?MissZambini?"

Harry nudged Hermione which snapped her back down to earth.

"Huh?"

"Well thank you for paying attention. The ingredients on the board, what potion am I referring to?"

Hermione looked at the board "Um a slumber potion, I guess."

"You guess?"

"Fine I'm sure."

"Miss Zambini 25 points from Gryffindor for your attitude."

"Well maybe someone should take points from you for your ignorance."Hermione then packed up her books and walked out of class.Of course when she got into the hall she felt like kicking herself.She had a free period next and decide to try to get some alone time and walked out to the lake.

Class let out and Ron couldn't wait to explode.

"All these years she tells us to keep her cool then our first class of the year she tell a professor off.Not only a professor, but Snape."

"Ron cool it. Somethingsbotheringher.Hermione wouldn't just snap at a teacher like that on her own accord.you know that just as well as everyone else."Harry said walking out of the class room only to be stopped by Blaise and his few Slytherin friends.

"I need your help with Hermione."Blaise said.

"Your her brother help her out on your own." Ron said.

"Well I would but I don't think she's gonna talk to me right now."

"What happened?" Harry asked.

"She had a dream and well she pretty much asked why there were no girls in Voldemorts circle?I told her why and she got upset."

"Hermione's smart, but she's still sensitive. She doesn't like not knowing things. Take your time with her, this news is hard to accept.She'll be okay just be there for her. Beside pansy is in the inner circle as you so all it, isn't she?"Harry said.

"Yeah, but there's a reason why I had to tell Hermione otherwise.I don't think she's ready for the truth yet.I guess lieing wasn't the best way to handle it though."Blaise said feeling very ashamed.

"No it wasn't."Harry said truthfully.

"I may not like the idea that your related but I'm gonna tell you that We've always protected Hermione, and that we love her. She gets hurt and your gonna wish you never found your sister."Ron said walking away.

"Zambini, I need to ask you something.Are you on Voldemort's side? Is that why you couldn't tell Hermione the truth, what ever the truth is?"Harry asked.

Blaise shook his head "No Draco and our crew aren't in with the Deatheaters. Never have been, never will. I will protect my sister."

"Maybe we should form an alliance."Harry said.

"Potter no offence but I don't think that'll ever happen. Comeon Draco."Blaise left to try and find Hermione.

"Man I'm gonna go and try to get this essay started for Potions."Draco said as he and Blaise made their way outside.

"Alright, I'll see you in Herbology.I gotta find Mione."

Draco made his way down to his favorite spot by the lake.He sat down and pulled out his books when he heard a frustrated sigh.He looked on the other side of the tree and saw Hermione sitting with her head in her hands.

"Zambini? Your brother's looking for you."

"Great just what I need. I just want to be left alone."Hermione said not looking up.

"He just cares about you.He wants to look out for you."

Hermione looked up "Why do you care?"

"I don't, but Blaise is my best friend, and I respect his decissions.For some reason he loves you."

Hermione smirked "Thanks."

"No problem."He sat down beside her.

"I didn't ask you to sit here."She said looking at him oddly.

"Hey free ground. I can park it anywhere I want."

"Your always a smart ass.Why?"

"Why not?"

Hermione shrugged"Can I ask you why we never got along?"

"I guess it was the whole mudblood thing."

"But I'm not as mudblood anymore, can't we even try to get along?"

"I'm gonna get an ass kicking for saying this, but it's hard to get along with someone you like.Especially if she's your bestfriends sister."

Hermione smiled "Really?"

"I guess I can stop the I hate you faking face. I do like you alot. It was just hard to admit it to you when you were always with other guys."

"I've never seen this side of you before."

"People grow up, and change."Draco said looking her in the eyes. "You know Potter was talking about making an alliance. Maybe we should."

"Really?" Hermione asked smiling.Draco nodded.

"There you are."Blaise said catchinh up with Hermione just as she was about to head inside for Arithmacy."Draco?"

"I found her, and told her you were looking for her."Draco said quickly.

"I'm sorry for acting like a jerk earlier."Hermione said.

"It's okay. I understand, and you had a good reason for it."

"Blaise why don't we unite together with Harry?"

"Hermione are you nuts? We could never all get along."

"Why not?We're all on the same page so why not fight together?"

Blaise looked into his sisters eyes "We'll see.Let's get to class."

Blaise, and Draco walked her to arithmacy, and then headed for Herbology.

"Blaise I want to talk to you."Draco said just outside the greenhouse door.

"Alright man, after class."

Draco nodded then they both put on their badboy faces and entered class 5 minutes late.

At lunch Draco, and Blaise sat away from the other Slytherins so they could talk in private.Blaise looked over at Hermione's table to see her talking with Harry then turned his attention back to Draco.

"Okay so what did you want to talk to me about?"Blaise asked taking a bite of potatoes.

"What would you say to someone if they wanted to ask out Hermione?"

"Well it would all depend on the person, but personally noone is good enough for my sister. Why?"

"Well your my bestfriend, and I know I'm an ass, but..."

"No."

"What?"Draco asked confused.

"You can't date Hermione.I know you remember your my bestfriend.You've never dated anyone longer than getting them in the sack and then ditching them.She deserves better."

"I'm not like that anymore. I wouldn't do that to her.I've always had a thing for her, you know that."

"Yeah but it was different when she wasn't my sister."Blaise got up and left the hall heading to his room before his next class.

Draco looked over at Hermione who was giving him a weird look and shook his head before letting it hit the table causing everyone to look at him.

After classes for the day Hermione decided to find Draco and ask him what was up with Blaise.She finally found him in the library sitting alone at a back table.

"Can I sit down here?"She asked.

Draco looked up "Sure."

Hermione sat down beside him and started pulling out her books "So what's up with Blaise?"

"What makes you think somethings up with Blaise?"Draco asked not looking up from his book.

"You both are almost always together and now your not. Plus he's avoiding me."

"He's just mad. He'll get over it."

"Why is he mad?"

"Because I asked him if I could ask you out.He said no so I'm leaving it at that."

"What? You asked my brother if you could ask me out?What ever happened to asking me if I want to go out with you?"

"I was gonna.I just wanted to know what Blaise thought first though. I mean he's my bestfriend."

"So what?You know the Draco I use to know wouldn't let anyone tell him what to do. I fhe liked a girl he'd ask her out no matter what anyone thought.You are so not the person I thought you were."Hermione then grabbed her bag and books and left the library.

It was almost curfew when Draco finally left the library thinking about what Hermione had told him.He was a different person, but she was right. Since when did he turn into the guy who asked for permission.He relized then that he had to just be himself around Hermione again and not the person he thought she wanted him to be.He didn't have to be an ass, but he wouldn't be a wimp.Tomorrow wether Blaise liked it or not he was gonna get what he wanted.
