(A/N….first of all…I was going to put this in before, but I forget easily….Anyways…Yeah, sorry about the messed up words, like spelling anything at all wrong…I'm not perfect and it's just a story!

truth-hater: thanks, that's sweet!

Sloane Miette, Mnaria, and, VampSlayer04: Guys, get a grip…its just a story! Its not the end of the world if I change things the way I want them to be for this particular story. I don't own any of the HP characters, but I like making stories the way I want them to be. If you have a problem, don't waste your time reading them because it obviously tells me that you have nothing better to do with your time. I'll write my way and you write yours. But just for you, when I'm finished I'll write a story w/ da original things and try to only change one or two things. But I'm gonna finish dis 1st. ONLY because somehow in some weird way I sometimes appreciate constructive criticism…But that's not saying to keep on doing it!

rhiannon-shaxington: thanks! I know same, I think its horrible what happened…J.K. Rowling HAD to have a reason…We'll just see in the 7th book!

kittyatza: thanks….you should, its awsum! Oh keep on reading…you'll see where it turns "romantic". evil laughter ))

This One's Sorta long, no storms! O! also, this one if sort of…well…odd….you'll see.

Hermione and Harry starred blankly at Ron as they walked down to Defense Against the Dark Arts. He was rambling on and on that he loved D.A.D.A…Something he certainly had never done before.

"And furthermore, I think this will be our best D.A.D.A year ever!" Ron said as they reached the classroom.

"Right." Harry said glancing at Hermione before opening up the door.

"Let's go! Hurry up!" Draco Malfoy yelled, Harry Ron and Hermione had been holding up the line just standing in front of the door.

Hermione took a deep breath and pushed open the door. A French-Vanilla fragrance came busting out. Everyone took a deep breath of it and 50 Gryffindor and Slytherin 7th years shuffled into the pitch black room. There was nothing anyone could see of hear except occasionally a few people talking.

"Well…Where is she?" Harry asked in a low voice.

"Isn't it obvious Potter, she doesn't want to mess with us Slytherins." Draco said laughing, "I wouldn't blame her. We bite. You should be scared to Potter." All the Slytherins laughed with him.

"Oh so do I Mr. Malfoy. And I think right now, for that remark, obviously a threat to Mr. Potter, I'm going to bite 50points from Slytherin." All the Slytherins moaned as everyone looked around from where the sharp voice came from. "Terrible sorry everyone. I was still setting some things up."

"In the dark Professor Lane?" Hermione asked politely.

"Well, Miss Granger, I actually can see perfectly in the dark as well as the light."

Draco snickered with Goyle and whispered, "What is she a vampire of something?"

"No Mr. Malfoy, and for that other rude remark, 20 points off Slytherin. I also have exceptional hearing. Now, I've held you all in the dark long enough I think." Lady Lane said snapping her fingers. "I hope you all like what I've done with the place."

Candles flashed on and everyone stood there in awe of what she did.

It's all very much in which she did, but I will do my best to describe it. Let's start with…The ceiling. The ceiling was draped with royal blue, midnight black black, maroon, and deep purple silk, it trailed onto the walls. All across the walls, on top of the silk were wizards casting spells at each other, wizards dying; it was brutal, but almost graceful. There were the deep purple desks on the royal blue carpet everywhere. In the middle of the room is what everyone was mostly dumbfounded by. Just sitting there in the middle of the room was a black lake with maroon swirls in it.

Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger were the only ones who walked up to it, not taking notice of each others presence.

"No no no no!" Lane said running down the stairs, "Do not touch that water, please! Everyone, I know I'll sound muggle like, but…I'm assigning you seats. Just because I'm hoping those people won't be talking. Slytherins and Gryffindors. In a straight line please." They did as Lane said.

"Now now now…Let's see. Ron Weasly and hmm Pansy Parkinson…Over there please." They didn't budge. "Now." She barked and they ran to their seats. Everyone was paired with someone of the opposite sex. Harry ended up being with a girl named Michelle Markk. "Let's see let us see…Ah! How about you, Hermione Granger, over there in the far back, left corner…And," Hermione was already sitting down by the time she said who she would be sitting with, it made her jump out of her chair when Lane said, "Draco Malfoy, go sit with Miss Granger."

Draco stood there like she was joking and didn't move, Hermione was standing up praying that Lane wasn't serious. "Mr. Malfoy now, or 100 points off of Slytherin."

"You can take away all our points, I don't care! I'm never sitting with that, that…Filthy mudblood." The class gasped and started quickly talking amongst themselves.

Hermione just stood there, anger rising. Lady Lane shot a calm glace a Draco and gave him a warm smile, "Sorry I was preoccupied with thinking about my other classes today…Where was I…Oh yes…I just said 'Mr. Malfoy now, or 100 points off of Slytherin.' What did you say back?"

Draco grinned and spat at her, "You can take away all out points, I don't care! I'm never sitting with that filthy smutty mudblood." He raised his eye brows as is proud of himself for talking back to her. After all, in a swift punch he could knock her dead cold.

Lane shot out her wand, and without saying anything, (she must have said it in her head) Draco fell to the floor and as she walked over to him with her wand still out steadily his head started to get closer to the lake. He started to whimper as Lady Lane crouched down on her knees with her wand at Draco's neck.

"Hold your breath." She said as his head dipped underneath the murky waters.

He came out gasping for breath, "Sit up." She said helping him as he coughed and looked at her with a disgusted look. She raised her eyebrows at him as he had to her. "Now, if you ever use such foul language in my classroom or when I'm near ever again, punishment will be much worse." She smiled and Draco flinched, he thought he saw fangs. Lady Lane looked around, "Well time seems to be up. I'll see you all tomorrow."

Everyone rushed out of the room silently, they didn't know what to say, and even more than that, if they did say anything, the students didn't want her to hear.
