The next day Hermione spent the better half of the morning looking for her brother.She finally found him on her way to potions.

"Hey Blaise! Wait up!"SHe ran to him when he stopped at the bottom of the stairs.

"What?"

"I wanted to apologise for the way I've ben acting.You were right." Hermione said starting to cry "Draco was only out to hurt me.Can you forgive me?"

Blaise pulled his sister into a hug "Of course. I didn't want to be right, I was just upset that my best friend was with my sister.You know. I wanted to be the most important person in your life for a while.I'm sorry for how I acted to."

Hermione wipped her eyes "It's okay, I know now that you were just looking out for me.I guess I never thought about your feelings with the whole situation."

"I'll talk to Draco later, and see what Lucius was doing here."

"No. Leave it go. It's over."Hermione said walking a head of Blaise to the classroom where she sat with her group to finish their project.

Hermione sat by Harry and Ron and started pulling out her books refusing to look at Draco.

Draco watched Hermione but was pulled to look at his left in shock as Blaise sat beside him.

"Ok. Did everyone do their research?" Seamus asked.

"Yeah. The instruction paper says we need to gather the ingredients and take turns with brewing the potion." Hermione said.

"Well how about we split up and gather what we need."Ron said.

"Thats a good idea then we can get done quicker."Harry said. "How about groups of 2 or 3 and we can split the list?"

Everyone agreed so Blaise started putting them into groups "Potter,Crabbe,and Weasley can get the first part of the list and then the rest of us can do the second part."

"Are you okay with that Hermione?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine.Let's get this over with."Hermione said looking at the ingredience "We'll take everything outside and you guys can gather what we need from Snape."

Everyone agreed and gathered their lists then packed up as the bell rang.

"So we'll meet in the entrance hall after dinner this evening?" Seamus asked

"Yeah that sounds good." Hermione said exiting the class and heading for transfiguration.

Draco watched her go then turned to head for Divination with Blaise.

"So Hermione said you two broke up." Blaise said trying to make small talk.

"She dumpped me if you must know.Said that It was usless and dissappointing waiting for me because it would be like waiting for Voldemort to turn good.Nice choice of words if you ask me. At least now I know I'm usless."Draco said.

"Wow.Did you tell her why Lucius was here?"

"I didn't get that far. Don't worry Zambini I didn't tell him she was your sister. I would never do that to her.He came inquiring about the female Zambini, and I said if she was here she's not using her real last name.I said noone's last name had changed at all from what I heard and then he left."

"That's it?"Blaise asked before they entered the classroom.

"Yeah. Someone did tell him though that your sister is here.He said he heard she was in our class and that I was close to her, too close for comfort.I seriously think he knows who it is and he was just trying to get me to confirm it."

"You lied to your father.He's gonna kill you when he finds out."

"Thanks for stating the obvious.I already know that. Look I never lied when I told Hermione that I loved her.I do love her, and I would never hand her over to You know who or my father.I think sacrificing my own life would prove that but instead she got the wrong idea and dumpped me.Let's go to class."

Draco entered the classroom while Blaise stayed in the hall "I was wrong."He said to himself before he entered.

That evening after dinner Hermione changed into flared jeans and a gray sweatshirt that said 'Too Cute for Words' on it.She pulled her hair up into a high ponytail on top of her head and put on her tennis shoes then headed downstairs to meet Draco,Seamus, and Blaise.

Harry, Ron,and Crabbe were waiting with the others when Hermione finally joined them.

"Hey Mione. You look nice."Seamus said.

"I'm in a sweatshirt and jeans, but thank you for the compliment Seamus."

"Okay we'll meet back here after all the ingredients are collected and take them to Snape together.Okay?" Blaise said. Everyone agreed and headed in their opposite directions.

"Okay we can probably get feathers from Hagrid's. The roots we can get from the greenhouse and the fresh grass we can get from the hill by the lake, noone ever goes there."Hermione said.

"We also need a Centaur's hair, and fur from a fox."Draco said.

"Guess we're going into the forrest."Blaise said.

Hermione shuttered a little when Blaise said this "Blaise we should have Hagrid go with us those Centaurs aren't the nicest to meet in a dark forrest, trust me."

"Well Firenze is nice enough."Blaise said.

"Wait till you meet the leader and the rest then tell me what you think."Hermione said starting to walk towards Hagrids.

They gathered the feathers then headed to the greenhouse.

"What kind of roots does it say we need?"Draco asked.

"A sycill root."Hermione answered. "They're the really thorny plants we're learning about in Herbology. They can heal and illness by their roots and sap, but the roots are so thorny that their hard to get. You can do this on your own Malfoy."

Draco grunted a displeased grunt but did it anyway.By the time he was done his hands were torn up so bad he could barely feel anything.Blaise tore the bottom of his tee-shirt and helpped Draco wrap his hands up till they got to Madame Pompfry.They gathered the fresh grass then headed to the openning of the forrest.

"Do we have to do this?Can't we go back and get Hagrid?"Hermione said. "Oh! I have an idea.We can get the fox fur from Hagrid and then we can just ask Firenze for some of his hair.See now we don't need to head into the forrest."

"That sounds good to me."Draco said "I need to see Madame Pompfry anyway."

"Alright lets go."Blaise said even though he was kinda dissappointed in not getting to go into the forrest.

Hermione was the first to run up to the castle delighted in getting out of having to go in there.

"Guess she's still really pissed at me."Draco said walking up with Blaise.

"I'll talk to her man. Let's just get you to the hospital wing and we'll have Mione gather the last 2 ingredience."

"That Finnigan has a thing for her you know."

Blaise nodded."I know, but don't worry.She doesn't like him."

Draco sighed with relief as they entered the castle.

Hermione walked to Firenzes office and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Hermione did so.

"Ah young Zambini what brings you here this evening?"Firenze said.

"I was wondering if I could ask a favor?"

Firenze nodded.

"See we need some hair for a potion that we have to brew, and it just so happens the hair we need has to be from a Centaur."

"Of course."Firenze said then plucked some of his hair and placed them in a vial for Hermione "I had vision from the stars about you."

"Really?"

"I though you should know that danger is coming for you.Soon.Your one true love will be the only one able to save you.Working together with the one who lived you shall triumph for the good."

"Is that all?"Hermione asked a little skitish.

"For now. Just watch your back."

"Thanks Professor.For everything."

Firenze nodded.Hermione met the others in the entrance hall.

"You look a little pale Mione what's up?"Ron asked.Draco and Blaise arrived at that moment and looked expectantly at Hermione with the others.

"Nothing.I'm just tired I guess. Let's turn these in after all tomorrow is gonna be a long day, and we all should have a good nights rest so we can consintrate better."

They all walked to Snapes office turned in their ingredience then headed to their perspective common rooms.
