Plus i would like to thank my beta jellyjay (she will probably be the beta for all my fics 'coz i can't find anyone else. LOL).

The Plan

"Oh yeah, he definitely has the looks, but does he have the personality?" I said.

Ginny, Parvati and Lavender all laughed. It was Saturday, and I decided that I would sleep in the Gryffindor common room instead of the Head's common room so I could stay up and talk all night with Ginny, Parvati and Lavender.

Parvati exclaimed "Wow, I'd never thought I'd see the day when Hermione confesses that she thinks Malfoy is hot! But you're right, he may look hot but I don't think his personality is all too great."

"Hey, maybe you can find out for us 'Mione!" Ginny said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"What she means is that maybe you can find out what Malfoy's personality is like for us, I mean, you are Head Girl, and he is Head Boy, so it would be easy." said Lavender.

I thought about it for a while, I thought of all the times he called me mudblood, and all the times he made fun of Harry, Ron and I.

After a moments pause I said "No."

"Why not 'Mione!" They whined.

"First of all because he absolutely hates me and I absolutely hate him! Think of all the times he's called me mudblood! Secondly, how do you think I'm supposed to find out what his personality is like?" I asked.

Ginny rolled her eyes and said "It's obvious! You could get to know him better, you know, become friends."

"Are. You. Insane!? Become friends with bloody ferret face? Harry and Ron would fucking kill me before I even try!" I shrieked. How could Ginny say that? She knew Malfoy hated us, Harry, Ron and me, the Golden Trio, ever since we started Hogwarts.

"Hey, hey, hey, calm down! Watch the language." said Lavender. Then she eyed me suspiciously and after a small pause, she said, "Would youtry if Harry and Ron didn't know about it?"

I opened my mouth to say something back to her but found myself speechless. Truth be told, I actually wanted to go through with it. I wanted to know the real Malfoy, because I was pretty sure that he had changed, ever since his dad was put in Azkaban…but I didn't want them to know…did I? "I…I…" I stuttered. I could feel a blush slowly creeping up my face.

"You would, wouldn't you!" Parvati yelped "Oh my goodness! You would!"

"Ok! I confess! I would!" I shouted. My face turned beet red—redder than Ginny's hair if that was possible.

They laughed. Then Lavender said "Just be friends with him first, don't tell Harry or Ron, then when you and Malfoy are good friends, you can tell them, I'm sure they'll understand."

Ginny and I shook our heads, "Oh no, I don't think they will." I said.

"Yeah, Ron definitely won't, he'll go berserk." said Ginny.

I chuckled and said, "You can say that again."

Parvati sighed. "Look, if all goes well and you and Malfoy do become good friends, then maybe you could show Harry and Ron how nice he is, if they really are your best friends, which I'm positive they are, then they will at least give the friendship a try."

I thought for a moment "But what if Malfoy turns out to be the snobbish, self-centred git that I think he is and turns down the friendship?" I didn't want them to know that I really thought that he had changed.

"Well then we'll definitely know that he does have the looks and not the personality." Parvati said.

"So how about it 'Mione?" asked Lavender.

"I'll sleep on it." And with that I yawned and climbed into bed. "Goodnight everyone"

They looked at me, rolled their eyes, then said in unison "'Night 'Mione."
