Disclaimer: The only thing I own in this story is the plot and a couple of characters that I'm going to introduce. Please read and review, this chap will probably be longer than the last one! Enjoy!

-------CHAPTER TWO-------
Not Who You Think I am
Draco woke up the next morning with a splitting headache. He was still fully dressed and lying on top of the covers, his wand on his bedside table.
He was trying to remember what he did the previous night, and then he remembered everything up to the point when he fainted.
"It must have been Granger who brought me here," Draco muttered. He clambered out of his bed tiredly and wrenched open the top of his trunk.
He pulled out a plain black t-shirt and a pair of baggy black combats. He wore steel toe capped black leather boots and his black robes with the Slytherin crest on it.
As he entered his bathroom to wash his face, he caught a glimpse of how bad he really looked.
His blonde hair fell in untidy locks around his face and it was messy and unkempt at the back. He had black lines under his eyes and they were bloodshot. It was the aftermath of getting drunk.
Hermione sat up in her bed, smiling at the previous night's events. Draco had indeed looked sweet when he fell asleep, but Hermione doubted that he would thank her for putting him on his bed.
She yawned as she stood up, stretching. There were the days clothes set out on her draws. Hermione walked over to them tiredly and started to change.
Hermione changed into a red strapless/sleeveless belly top and a white plaited mini skirt. She wore red high heels with silver jewels shining from the top strap. She brushed her hair and straightened it, then tied it back in a white bobble and clipped it up using a red hair clasp.
When she was in the bathroom, she washed her hands and face and put her makeup on.
Draco was already lounging on the common room sofa when she arrived there. He glanced at her and then stared into the put out fire, pouting.
"What are you pouting about, Malfoy?" Hermione asked a trace of a smirk on her face.
"I'm ashamed to have to admit that you helped me last night, Granger, and don't laugh at me!" Draco answered dangerously. Hermione had started giggling accidentally.
She waved her apology and giggled again as he stormed into his room to get his bag.
Hermione already had hers so she made her way down to breakfast; she saw Harry and Ron and sat across from them, next to Ginny.
"Hi Hermione," Harry, Ron and Ginny yawned tiredly. Hermione was wide awake.
"Hey guys," she greeted them, pulling a bowl of Rice Crispies toward her. She ate them quickly and saw Draco enter the great hall, still as angry as he was this morning.
Professor McGonagall passed everyone their timetables, and Ron sighed.
"It isn't that bad, actually, I've got double charms, arithmancy, transfiguration and care of magical creatures." Harry moaned.
"I've got double potions, charms, care of magical creatures and transfiguration,"
"Why the fuck did you take potions?" Ron asked.
"Remember, I want to become an Auror, and I didn't want to tell professor McGonagall that I'd given up after fifth year because of her saying that she'd do whatever it takes so I can become one…"
Ron sighed, "Yeah seems pretty bad, but…I never knew you needed to take care of magical creatures!"
"You don't, I just took it as an extra, for Hagrid and all," Harry explained.
Hermione had kept unusually quiet. She wasn't even making a noise as she ate. Harry and Ron finished their conversation and looked at her.
"Sup, Mione?" Ron asked. Hermione sighed. She mixed the contents of her bowl with her spoon.
"Nothing, I'm just sighing because I have to share a common room with Malfoy," she answered.
"Well, at least it isn't a bedroom or at least you aren't staying in his bedroom!" Ron persisted. Hermione nodded in agreement, but Ginny laughed.
"That wouldn't be that bad, actually," she laughed, "I mean, it would be any girls' dream to share a bathroom or bedroom with him! If you haven't noticed, he's the Slytherin sex god and probably the best looking guy in the whole school!"
Hermione laughed at Harry and Ron who were looking at Ginny as though she had some horrible disease.
"Ginny, go and wash your mouth out!" Ron retorted angrily. His sister stood up and picked her bag up.
"I was just saying…I mean it is true!" she muttered angrily, walking out of the great hall. Ron and Harry shared unbelievable looks. Hermione just laughed.
As Ron left for double charms, Harry and Hermione left for double potions. When they were lining up outside Snape's classroom door, Malfoy approached with three Slytherin girls. One was Pansy Parkinson. Crabbe and Goyle were walking behind stupidly.
Snape let the class inside and glared at the two Gryffindor students in his presence. Hermione and Harry sat at the back, while the Slytherins were at the front.
"We will be starting work on a memory potion, it enables a pair who has drunk the potion to see into each others memories," Snape explained.
Pansy's hand shot up.
"Will we be working in partners, sir?" she asked. Snape sighed.
"No miss. Parkinson, I just said that it enables a pair who has drunk the potion to see into each others memories!" he drawled sarcastically, Pansy flushed.
Draco put his hand in the air; Snape took a more kindly note to his best student.
"Yes, Mr. Malfoy?" Snape asked.
"Will you be choosing the partners?" he asked. Snape nodded.
"Yes, I have chosen you all a…suitable match, now, listen carefully because you are going to be working with this person for the next month and a half," Snape answered. He lifted up a piece of parchment. He read out these names:
Seamus Finnigan, Millicent Bullstrode
Parvati Patil, Blaise Zabini
Harry Potter, Pansy Parkinson
Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy
And the list went on for another three minutes….
Everyone moved around so they were sitting next to their partner. Oddly, there were enough Gryffindors and Slytherins to make each Slytherin have a Gryffindor partner.
Hermione sighed and sat next to Draco. She didn't look at him; she didn't even notice that he was there.
"Now, now, Granger, we're going to be working together for a month and a half, surely you're going to notice my existence?" Draco asked.
"Why should I notice a foul, evil, loathsome little cockroach like you?" Hermione asked.
"Granger, has it ever occurred to you that I may not be who you think I am?"
A/N Hope you all liked that chapter! Please review, I need constructive criticism here people! If you don't tell me what you like I can't write some interesting things! No flames!
