Summary: What would happen if two different people, from two different backgrounds, friendships, and ways of love fell in love? What would happen if two very different people were placed in a dorm for a year? What would it be it was the Slytherin prince and the Gryffindor know-it all. I know it's been done so many times before, but I have to do it. Draco is a little OOC

Disclaimer: I own nothing, unfortunately, that all goes to J.K. Rowling.

It was the beginning of the last year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for Hermione Granger who made head girl. She was walking down the hall of the Hogwarts Express, heading to the head compartment. She still didn't know who the head boy was; she knew that her best friends Harry Potter and Ron Weasley weren't. She just hoped it wasn't anybody from Slytherin, namely Draco Malfoy. He was an arrogant, idiotic, little bitch in her mind. But when she made it to the Head compartment her worst fears were confirmed.

"Damn it!" She yelled.

"Isn't who you wanted it to be Granger?" Draco asked with his signature smirk.

"Shut it Malfoy, I don't need your shit today." Hermione said as she sat down.

"Is the mudblood getting an attitude? Is it you that cussed?" Asked Draco.

"You know I've actually thought that you'd take a hint that being called that doesn't have an affect on me no more." Hermione said coldly.

"Hmm…I guess." Draco said he really didn't have a come-back.

"Is the big bad Malfoy speechless?" Hermione asked amused.

"I don't answer to mudbloods." Draco said.

The reason why Draco was being so non-Malfoyish and not being able to think of come backs was because he was over-whelmed by the summer's events for him. His father was broke-out of Akazban (A/N: did I spell the right?), and he was wanting Draco to take to dark mark. Honestly, he didn't want to. So he did something that no Malfoy had ever done, he owled and told Dumbledore.

Flashback

"Draco, you're going to be taking the dark mark this Saturday." Lucius Malfoy said.

"I don't want to be a fucked up deatheater like you!" Draco yelled

Lucius Malfoy smacked, kick, through a couple curses, including the crucius curse on his son.

"Now my dear boy, have you changed your mind?" His father asked

"Yes." Draco mumbled as he got up and slowly walked to his bedroom.

When Draco made it to his bedroom he laid down on king sized bed, decorated in silver and green of course, but he really despised the colors. He then got out his quill and parchment and wrote a letter.

'Headmaster,

I know that I wouldn't be writing this if my father knew but he is trying to get me to take the dark mark. I really don't want to. Everyone in my family has it, but I don't believe in it. I don't believe in muggle-borns either but I don't believe in killing them, some are pretty powerful, take Granger for an example. But why I'm writing this is because they want me to take the mark on Saturday, what should I do?

Draco Malfoy'

End of Flashback

Draco was still thinking what happened the day after that, Dumbledore, and a whole lot of Aurors came to the Malfoy Manor, fighting deatheaters and took him out of there. They then took him to a place he didn't know, but it was hidden. He had the gift of listening to Potter, The Weasley, and Granger all summer long, but not being able to come out of the room he was in. The only people he saw all summer were Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape.

Hermione was wondering what Malfoy was thinking, he was just staring out into space and why he couldn't think of sarcastic remarks to back to her? So she left the compartment and got dressed in her school uniform. When she got back he was dressed, but he was still staring out the window. So there was silence for about five minutes before she had enough.

"Why do you think the headmaster wants us to meet in his office instead of having the head of our house talk to us on the train?" Hermione asked.

"Beats the hell out of me Granger." Draco replied without taking his eyes of the window.

"Why are you always so cruel?" Hermione asked.

"Why do you ask so many damn questions? Leave me the hell alone." Draco said.

So the rest of the way to Hogwarts they were quiet, completely silent, Hermione went and started reading some school book, and Draco went and started to draw. He didn't know why but he was drawing Hermione. So after he knew what he was drawing, he ripped it up and through it out of the window, thankful that they finally made it to Hogwarts. Bad thing was he still probably had two more hours alone with Hermione or with her and Dumbledore.

So the students exited the train with high hopes, and some with worry filling them. The students took thersals to the castle unless they were first years. Draco and Hermione when they were in their carriage didn't speak. They walked to Dumbledore's office on opposite sides of the hallway, and the only time that one of them spoke was when Hermione had to say the password to the office.

Dumbledore was sitting in his office planning on what to say to the head boy and head girl when he heard the gargoyle that blocks his office off move. He knew who it was.

"Enter Miss Granger and Mister Malfoy." Dumbledore said cheerfully.

"Hello Headmaster, why is it you wanted to see us?" Hermione said bluntly.

"Take a seat both of you and I'll explain." Dumbledore said as he conjured up to seats in front of his desk that he was sitting behind.

"Dumbledore can you tell us why you did us?" Draco said trying to be polite.

"Yes Mister Malfoy and Miss Granger, I brought you to tell you about the circumstances that we are in." Dumbledore started, "Mister Malfoy, you may not want me to but for your sake I should tell her about your summer. See Miss Granger, Draco was to take the dark mark, but he didn't want to. So he contacted me and a couple of Aurors and I went to the Malfoy Manor and took him. This year, I have no doubt; will be hard for Mister Malfoy. And as someone has said, 'some muggle-borns are powerful. Take Granger for example' so you Miss Granger if you please will you look out for him for me?"

"I don't need her help headmaster." Draco stated.

"Mister Malfoy, she is far beyond her time and she'll do you good by watching out for you." Dumbledore said.

"Whatever Dumbledore." Draco ended.

"Headmaster I have no problem looking out for Malfoy, as long as he knows when to keep his month shut." Hermione said.

"Well then I'll show you to your dorm room, and because you are the heads of the class you don't have to go to the Great Hall. You will have a kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. May I need to tell you the rule?" Dumbledore said.

"No Headmaster, because there will not be any such things." Hermione said as she followed Dumbledore out of his office and to the head rooms which where quite close to his office. So now they stood outside of a painting of a fairy, dressed in a pink dress sitting of a rock and behind her were a waterfall but the fairy was crying.

"The password is Alantica. The paperwork on what you shall be doing this year it in the dining area. If you need anything either call on one of your head of houses or I'm right down the hall." With that Dumbledore left the two students.

"Password?" The little fairy squeakily said between weeps.

"Alantica." Hermione said and the painting swung open revealing an apartment.

The living room was painted a peach color, filled with a black leather couch in the middle of the room with two matching chairs. In front of the couch there was a tall fire place with the fire blazing. On the wall next to the door was a bookshelf that took up the wall. Then to the left of the living room was the kitchen that Dumbledore was talking about, it was the same as the living room but had appliances for the kitchen and the table that would seat two. To the right of the living room there was three door, one side Hermione Granger, the one in the middle said Restroom, the last one side Draco Malfoy.

"You'll have a field day with these books Granger, there is some really rare books." Draco said scanning the books

"Yeah…Malfoy were you just civil to me?" Hermione asked.

"Don't think you'll get it all the time, besides I'll have to watch my back when I'm around the Slytherins so my as well get along with you." Draco said as he jumped up and landed on his back on the couch. So Hermione walked over and sat on one of the chairs.

"What are you going to do if a Slytherin sees you alone and tries to attack you?" Hermione asked being honest.

"Fight them either with my wand or the mudblood way." Draco answered.

"What do you have so much against muggle-borns?" Hermione asked.

"It's just because they aren't like us, act like asses, and they are weak." Draco said confidently.

"I don't act like an ass, I'm not weak and I'm a witch so what do you have against me?" Hermione said.

"Because you were always better then me! You had better grades, better friends, more power and not weak! " Draco shouted as he admitted it.

"Well you could have gotten to know me, you still can. But I don't judge people and I don't hold grudges. But you will never know how when the first couple times you called me a mudblood how that hurt." Hermione said as she stood and went to her bedroom.

Draco laid on the couch thinking about one person he never thought would invade his thoughts and the words she just said, but he didn't know that he fell asleep thinking.
