Previously On The Force Of Love:

Draco got up and decided to get some sleep as he walked towards the head common room he saw the portrait of the Knight and Princess hugging. He hated showing affection and shouted the password the two jumped apart and gave him an angry look before opening. Draco felt that princess was the best looking girl he had ever seen, but she reminded him of granger, he to wanted to have someone looking at him with as much love as the princess was giving to her knight- he thoughts however were disrupted with the sound of laughter coming from inside. Why did everyone have to be so happy except for him.

Draco was going to step in, when the Potter and Weasel stepped out giving him a weird look. They turned to Hermione giving her a sympathetic smile they left. Draco shoved past the two, and had a look at the headroom. The rich decorations upsettingly reminded him of the manor. He looked over the plush couches to find Hermione reading. Did that girl ever stop reading?

He walked across the common room to his new room.

"Hey Malfoy are checking out your bedroom?" she asked excitedly, following.

"What does it look like Granger?" he retorted glaring at her.

"Just asking! Can you ever be nice Malfoy or were you just born with a cold heart!" she shoved past him.

Draco stared at the spot Granger had just occupied. He for the first time thought about what she had just said. Can I ever be nice? Was he not nice to Crabbe and Goyle? Truth be told all he ever did was order them and yell at the goons. Then there was Pansy pug face Parkinson who thought her job was to hang off Draco's shoulder whenever he was within her vicinity. Ahhh! I am mean to everyone even the Slytherins! Granger seemed right for once, maybe if he was "nicer" as she had put it; his life may have been better. He hated self-reflecting he decided to once again sleep of his unpleasant thoughts.

Hermione woke up the next morning feeling sorry for Malfoy. Why do I care about that stupid git any way! He was after all born into an unloving family. She could just imagine his childhood, a cute little Malfoy all alone in a dark playroom. Did I just call Malfoy cute? EWWW! Hermione began to feel sorry for Malfoy again; after all he had lost his family and now was on his own. She decided not to ponder on thoughts about Malfoy as classes started today.

Hermione ran into the Great Hall excited to check out her new timetable. She spotted Harry and Ron, deciding to sit between them.

"Hi guys! I can't wait to see our timetables!" she smiled

"Uh, sorry to upset you Hermione, put I think you're the only one excited about starting classes." Ron stated

"Oh come on Ron, aren't you excited about all the wonderful things we will learn this year. It is so euphoric!!!" she said grinning, imagining her first transfiguration class.

"No 'Mione, I don't think Ron will ever feel 'euphoric' about school' Harry said piling his plate with pancakes.

"Students, please be quiet, I have your timetables, if there is something wrong, please come and see me immediately. That is all." With a flick of Magonagall's wand each timetable flew over to each student.

"Oh blimey! We have double potions first up and with the Slytherins!" Ron cried

"You've got to be joking!" a stunned Harry scanned his own timetable

"Will you guys ever grow up?" Hermione simply stated, "Come on we are going to be late. I don't want to go into minus points on the first day back, just because Snape hates Gryffindors" she got up with her two best friends dragging grudgingly behind her.

Draco looked at his own timetable. Double potions, at least I have my favourite subject first up. He looked across at the Gryffindor table; Pothead and Weasel seemed to have lost their appetite after discovering they had potions. At least my week has begun on a bright note! He to got up making his way to the dungeons.

"Oh No!"

"What's wrong Hermione?" both boys asked in unison.

"I can't believe I forgot my quill in the headroom! You guys go ahead and save me a spot, I'll be right back." She checked her watch, she had 5 minutes to run up and get her quill. How can I be so forgetful and on the first day too.

"This is going to be great year, first I am late for the train and not I forget my quill," she muttered to herself. Running quickly, she did not realise where she was going and crashed into someone. Causing both herself and the other person to fall. She quickly got up and reached her hand to the person still on the ground, not realising who it was.

"Sorry! Here I'll help you up" She looked down to find none other Malfoy on the ground, hair out of place, a stunned expression on his pale face and looking out of order for the first time in her 6 years of schooling. She began to laugh at his disgruntled pose, culching her stomach from the pain of the comical scene in front of her.

"Shut up Granger! This is your doing!" He got up, fixing his uniform.

"Malfoy! Look I'm sorry!" She said again, walking towards him apologetically.

"I don't care! Get away from me!" He said

"Malfoy I said I was sorry there is no need to get all angry!"

"When it involves you, anyone would get angry," he shouted and stormed off.

Hermione felt tears form in her eyes. There was something terribly wrong with Malfoy. No one could more hateful than Draco Malfoy himself. She wiped her tears away, no Malfoy was going to make her cry, and that stupid parchment had said that she had get along with Malfoy. That was definitely not going to happen! She looked at her watch 2 mins late for potions. She decided to borrow Harry's quill and walked back to Potions.

What's wrong with me! Why do I get so angry at everything! Draco clenched his fist. He hated yelling and he had seen tears in Granger's eyes. She had looked so relaxed laughing when he had fallen. He would of shrugged it off, but she was just so happy plus she was enjoying life, whilst he not. He only said that anyone would get angry her due her happiness. He hated feeling so depressed. He walked into potions at least he could try and enjoy making something worthwhile.

Hermione walked into potions feeling upset the contrary to her morning excitement. Thanking Merlin that Snape was not here yet. She sat next Harry and Ron, trying to ignore Malfoy's harsh words. "Involves you…anyone would get angry." He is still holding a grudge against me because of my blood, even after the war and fighting for the light side. I guess a leopard never changes its spots. Hermione then decided not let Malfoy affect her but to challenge her. This year she will change Draco Malfoy's spots, he had already shown he has good intentions by fighting for the light side. She was going to make Malfoy laugh and bring out the boy that was hiding inside his depressed shell. She smiled at her challenge just as Snape walked in.
