Disclaimer 2: This is my first attempt, and I want alll criticism! no holding back! i want to know if it totally blows! Thanks! Da Goose

formally joelle drees , i agree and there were getting to be quite a few so i put them all at the end!

"Draco? Is something wrong?" I called from my bed. 'He called me Hermione and he said Draco, not Malfoy. That's really weird. Something must really be wrong.'

"Can I come in? I need to talk to you." 'Draco Malfoy needs to talk to me? This should be interesting.' I looked down to make sure all of my body parts were covered up and then realized I was in bed.

"Uh, yeah. Just give me a moment." I quickly shrugged on a bathrobe pulling it closed with a lose knot. I moved the comfortable leather chair from behind my desk over next to the arm chair and walked over to the door. When I opened it Malfoy stood there looking slightly haggard and worse for wear. I motioned him in a gave him a choice of seats. He collasped into my leather chair and I curled up in the arm chair. "So what's up?"

He put his face in his hands and took a deep breath letting it out on a sigh. "Okay, listen I know that you and I don't get along all that well. And I know that we fight...a lot but we need to stop. We need to try to get along." I don't know exactly what I expected him to say but that was definitely not it.

"Any specific reason for this sudden truce you want?"

"Actually it wasn't my idea. Dumbledore keeps getting on me that we should be nicer to each other and I would much rather just say 'The hell with it.' but I know that if you found out and I didn't tell you then the chance of Friday night happening are shot to hell."

"Well...there's an honest answer." 'So, he just wants a truce to get Dumbledore off his back and is letting me know so he can get in my pants...wow...such a nice guy deserves a prize...how about the biggest jackass in the world award?' I had to fight not to roll my eyes. 'Okay I need to agree because this Friday is revenge time.' "Okay. Let's do it."

Malfoy let out a sigh of relief and got up heading toward the door. "Wait!" I called, one more questions still on my mind. "Is that why you called me Hermione? To get Dumbledore to stop bothering you?"

Malfoy turned and looked me straight in the eye. "No, I want to be on a first name basis with you."

"Why?" I asked suspiciously. I could see a little bit of a smirk when he said that.

"Because, on Friday, when you come, I want to hear you scream my name not my surname."

"Why you...you asshole, you fucking piece of shit!" He started toward me and I was too busy thinking up names to call him to see the glint in his eye. "You self-righteous son of a bitch. Who the hell do you think-mph" I ended as his mouth covered mine stopping the string of curses flying out my mouth. 'Ow! Ow! Too hard! This isn't nice he's hurting my mouth! If only he'd easy up this would be so bad...wait! Did I just say or well think that kissing Malfoy isn't that bad? Oh this cannot be good. Oh, but it could feel so good...besides we do want him to think I want him. My god Hermione you are rationalizing and you know it.'

I pulled back and Malfoy looked at me. "A little bit softer. You were hurting me." He nodded and kissed me again. This time the kiss was gentler but still hard and passionate. All in all, it was just right. This time he pulled away, "Better?" he asked. He leaned down and began to trail soft kisses down the side of my face and onto my neck. 'Oh shit! Hermione! This is not good! You should not be responding to Malfoy like this.' I shivered as he bit the side of my neck softly. I felt him smile against the side of my neck and pulled back.

"Malfoy..."

"Draco. Please Hermione called me Draco." 'Oh man this is bizarre.'

"Fine. Draco, this is a little weird. I mean it's you. You and I have hated each other for the past six years. Why are we attracted to each other now? Why is it different?" 'Oh Fuck! Did I just say out loud that I was attracted to him? Damn it! I hadn't even admitted that to myself yet and I've already told him! What the hell am I going to do?'

"You know I never understood that. Why did you hate me?" he asked me and he sounded sincere but still I looked at him incredulously.

"Are you kidding me? You've made fun of my friends, my backround, and of me. I know that you've been brought up on hating everyone who isn't pureblood but it hurt me damn it! You didn't even know me and yet you judged me. You may tell me that everyone expect you to act a certain way because you're a Malfoy but it wouldn't have mattered to me. I didn't know anything about you. If you had walked up to me and started talking to me and acted like everyone else I wouldn't have known that it was unusual. Instead you made of fun for being a muggle born." I took a deep breath trying to contain my rage when he opened his mouth to speak.

"No! Don't even start!" I said before he could begin to speak. "I'm not done. You were angry with me because I made better grades than you but grades have nothing to do with a person. Take Neville Longbottom for example." Malfoy let out a snort at the name. "Don't you snort at Neville. He has compassion, he understands people, and believe it or not is very clever as long as Snape's not around. But you Draco Malfoy, you judged that because I was good in school that I was a know it all bitch. Well surprise, surprise but I don't know everything. I am constantly learning but because I'm excited to learn and share what I learn I am ridiculed.

Then there's Harry and Ron. My best friends! You made fun of Ron from literally day one here. You know nothing about him except that his family doesn't have a lot of extra money. But you know what? They're happy! Much happier than I expect you are with just you, your mother and your father in that big ol' house you're always bragging about. Ron is one of the most courageous men I know and I hope that one day you will regret it all.

"And Harry. Before Harry was even a year old his parents were killed by Lord Voldemort. And stop looking at me like that. I'm not going to be so scared of a man that I won't even bare to say his name. Harry and Dumbledore taught me that. Right, Harry. After Harry's parents were killed and Voldemort failed to kill Harry he went to live with his horrible Aunt and Uncle. They have a son who kind of remind me of you except he's fat but he's just as mean and nasty to Harry who does not deserve it. So after living at his Aunt and Uncle's for ten years he finds out that he's a wizard.

Not only is he a wizard but probably one of the most famous of all time for something cannot remember. He doesn't even want all this attention he gets for it. He doesn't want to have to deal with what he does. He has to avoid Voldemort while trying to find a way to destroy him AND he has to be a teenager! Would you have been able to deal with all of that? Oh and did I mention that his only hope for a good parents was killed two years ago. So you know what Malfoy? Fuck off!"

His face hadn't changed once the entire time I ranted and yelled at him. When I was done he stood up and walked to the door. Right before he was closed the door he turned and looked back at me sadly, "I do regret it Hermione. All of it."
