A/N: hey, it's me! Bac 4 another chapter i see...well, enjoy! Don't 4get 2 review on ur way out k?

Hermione's thoughts:

'Ok, this is so weird. Malfoy's actually being nice to me? Maybe I should've took him to the nurse, no matter how creepy he was acting-Wait, why do I care about him? No, I don't care. Has he gone mad? Has the whole world gone crazy? Or, maybe it's just me...Yeah, that's it, I was imagining it. If he was being nice to me-no, this can NOT be happening. I hear foot steps coming down the hall. Calm down...'

Hermione began to walk faster, until she turned the corner and ran straight into Harry and Ron with a start.

"Harry, Ron! Why don't you watch where you're going!"

"Sorry Hermione, it's not like we saw you there. What's wrong?" Ron's apologetic eyes soothed Her.

"I just-it's nothing. Really. I have to go to the head's common room. See you guys." Ron was about to say something, but Hermione walked away too fast.

She walked over to the portrait and recited the new password then crawled through. She sat on the comfy sofa and stared into space, not something that she'd normally do. She stared for a while, trying to figure out why Malfoy acted the way he did. When she was done rattling her brain, she calmed her self with some reading.

She picked up her rucksack from the floor and tucked her legs under herself. She unbuttoned the small compartment on the front and pulled out a newly polished looking book for her potions class. She flipped through some of the pages but before she could find what she was looking for, the portrait opened and Malfoy stepped through.

Hermione didn't know what to do so she pretended to busy herself with the rucksack's strap. She didn't know why she was so concerned about his well being.

"Ah, hello, Hermione." he stopped where he was standing to literally stare at her.

'Did he just call me by my first name?'

"Uh, I'm still not talking to you until this whole "Head boy, head girl" thing is over."

"But you have to talk to me, if you're going to tutor me like Snape said. Besides, I thought you liked being head girl. Being able to be the best, stomp on all the other girls like ants and make them look like nothing."

'He has a point-hey, why am I listening to him? Is this supposed to be some kind of compliment to use me for grades?'

"Fine. What do you need help with?"

"I need help making the love potion that I didn't get to make in the class."

"But, I thought we weren't supposed to make things like that outside of class."

"My grades are at stake here, Granger." 'Well, I guess he acting pretty normal, now.'

"Okay. But If anyone finds out, don't let them know I helped you with it."

"Fine with me." he walked over to the sofa that Hermione was sitting on and sat next to her. She looked at him as he scooted a little closer. She didn't have time to object to this since she heard someone coming towards the head portrait, sounding like they were about to enter. She quickly stood up.

"What's wrong?" asked Malfoy, with the most sincere expression that she'd ever seen him have.

"Uh, its not safe out here, maybe we should go to my room." she quickly shot out. She didn't want to be seen with him, yet, she could've just left him by himself.

"Why?"

"No time for questions." she grabbed his wrist and did the best she could to drag him up the stairs. He kind of tripped all over himself. He wasn't really thinking clearly at that moment. She quickly took out her key and tried to jam it in the lock. Malfoy took the key and opened her door, then he held out an arm, inviting her in her own room.

They both sat on the bed.

"Close the door." she whispered.

"Why? No one's down there." Hermione gave him a glare and got up to do it herself. She locked it from the inside so that no one would walk in on them.

'Oh, great. First I'm imagining things, then I'm scared to death of Malfoy, and now I'm trapped in here with him. Now what.'

"Calm down, you look stressed. Do you want a massage?" he came up behind her and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Um, no, no. I'm fine. Lets just get this over with." she brushed his hand off her shoulder.

"What's wrong? You act like studying with me is a chore."

"Well, it kind of is."

"You should loosen up a little." 'Loosen up. Okay. I can try that, even though he's the one acting weird.'

They sat back on the bed and she opened her new potion book. Luckily Draco brought his potion kit with the test tubes in them, so he wouldn't have to leave her room to go to his.

"Lets see, ah, here it is. Love potion. Okay, this is what you do-" Draco was starring at her again. "Malfoy, are you paying attention? This is why you get low grades. You just don't pay enough attention in class."

"I know. I was too caught up in your beauty."

"That's, very sweet. But lets finish this. The sooner it's done, the faster you can leave. Don't you just hate being in my presence?"

"No, not at all." Draco scooted a little closer to her and she scooted a few inches away.

"When we're done with this, your going to Madam Pomfrey. Now pay attention." She looked into his eyes and saw something she'd never seen before. It was kind of like a sadness mixed with his true feelings about her.

"Okay, I'll hold the test tube steady while you add the ingredients."

By the third try they finally got the potion right, except it turned out pink instead of blue. She accidentally gave him the potion for the girl's formula.

"Well, it's good enough right? As long as it's a love potion."

"What kind is this?"

"This is the kind you can use on a girl. Hint, the pink color."

"Oh."

"I think we should be going now. It's kind of late." they both stood up.

"Wait, we? Where are we going?" He took her hands in his. Hermione was too shocked to move. He looked like he was about to say something but he held back and then let go of her hands again.

"I have to take you to Madam Pomfrey. You've been acting strange, and as much as I hate to admit it, I'm kind of worried about this."

They walked out of the portrait and headed for the hospital wing.

'Why won't she just give in? No one can resist my charm. If I wasn't me, I'd date myself. I know deep down, she likes me. Why did she invite he to her room if she didn't? My head really hurts.'

Draco stopped walking and fainted in the middle of the empty hallway. Hermione gasped and quickly got him to the nurse as fast as she could by dragging most of his body on the floor. She held him by his arms and struggled with him through the long hallways. She was surprised that no one was snooping around this late.
