Author's Note: Do to semi-demand/interest, I have decided to continue this meant to be oneshot! So please, enjoy, and tell me if the Chapters are not fitting the storyline. I have a few tricks up my sleeve for this story... heehee. ENJOY! Oh, and if I messed up Craig and Goyle ('cause either one doesn't really talk, but in the last book I know one of them really starts to; so if I messed up with who is more talkative, please just switch it around in your mind!) sorry about that.
DISCLAIMER: Why is it I can't be J.K. Rowling, even for a day?

"Why so glum Hermione?" Harry whispered, staring at his friend from his messy black bangs.

"Oh, for no reason," Hermione mumbled, absent-mindedly scribbling messy notes in large, untidy letters instead of her usually neat, fine cursive. Snape was giving a speech about the dangers of the Lover's Truth Serum and barked at the group of teenagers to write down what he said. Surprisingly though, the bookworm Hermione was not paying attention; instead, she was trying to figure out a way to get Him out of her mind as she imagined she felt his lips on hers…

"Partners!" Snape barked again, causing Hermione to jump from her seat. She looked up and prayed as he listed who'd work with whom, and of course, Draco and she were paired together. She met his eyes as she looked behind her shoulder by habit. He, too, looked back.

Play it cool, they both thought.

Hermione walked over to him and sat herself down quietly, biting her lip. Draco got up to get the ingredients they needed. When he returned, he smiled when he saw Hermione immediately start talking out of nerves, "Okay, please pass me the snake root, lo --- Draco." She took in a breath of air as Draco's hand brushed hers as he passed the snake head, whether it was on purpose or not.

"Umm, alright, now we need, er…" she mumbled, turning red.

Her head felt light as her stomach did a million summersaults.

"Dragons tooth?" Draco offered, handing it to her.

"Right. Okay, thanks." She looked down.

For the next twenty minutes, the two partners worked together without working together; one read off what they needed and put it in as the other handed it to them. Teamwork taken to a whole new level.

"How about the fairy wing clipping, Draco?" Hermione asked without turning to face him.

"Oh," was all he could say back.

"Oh?" she commented, feeling a little bit braver.

"Well, sweethe--- Hermione, I seem to have forgotten to get it. Now, would you like me to fetch it or watch the pot, or you?" He teased. Charm her, even though this cannot be charming, he thought, mentally punching himself with his lame choice of words.

"You… please," said Hermione just as lamely. Her Heart was picking up speed as she watched him walk away, his long cloak trailing behind him. Thank Gods, she thought, sighing with relief. If he were here any longer, she knew that she would do something very foolish. Taking advantage of his current quick absence, she tried to stretch by pushing her chair back, but what a mistake that was. Because as soon as she did, she scooted one of the chair legs onto Draco's trailing cloak.

As soon as she did, Draco let out a small "oomph!" and was pulled back, falling right on top of a shocked Hermione, and both fell. Hermione tried to grab onto something to catch them, but instead pulled on the handle on the side of their cauldron, spilling the sticky, sweet smelling potion. The whole room was quiet, but Ron and Harry looked at Hermione worriedly.

"What is going on?" Snape growled furiously, striding from the front of the room, his cold eyes distant as ever. "I do not tolerate mistakes of an idiot in my classroom!"

"But, sir," Hermione squeaked as Draco got off of her, offering her a hand that she took hesitantly. "It was a mistake, we're sorry. Draco meant to get the fairy wing clipping, and I pushed my chair back and the leg got caught on his cloak ---"

"Enough!" barked Snape, but raised an eyebrow at the two. "Mr. Malfoy, explain yourself!"

Draco looked at Hermione who blushed furiously and looked away, then shrugged. He looked at Snape directly in the eye coolly and said, "Just like she said it."

"Well then," Snape said, a little confused, "as I said, I do not tolerate mistakes. Thirty points of off Gryffindor, and fifteen for Slytherin!"

The Gryffindor classmates roared in protest. "But you gave stinking Malfoy half of that!" Harry cried out.

"Silence." The room reluctantly went quiet. "Now," Snape drawled, "both of you shall receive detention with me this Saturday after dinner and an hour after bedtime, do I make myself clear? And I also do not tolerate tardiness." Before Hermione or Draco could say the same thing, Snape said, "Now come to the front of the room so I may properly remove that wasted slime off of you so the side-effects won't kick in. Then you will try to make a Potion before time runs out, or I will take off even more points."

"What bull," Ron grunted, Harry agreeing silently.

"I never get detention," Hermione chimed in distantly as her two friends complained. Yes, she was upset about getting detention, and with Draco, but deep down inside, she actually felt… excited. She was somewhat thrilled to be able to spend some sort of time with her once lover. Her eyes immediately began to flood with tears, but she forced them back.

"Oh, and 'Mione, since when did you call Ferret 'Draco'?" Ron asked suspiciously.

Shoot.

"I was surprised about Snape giving you detention, and even taking points off," Craig said in deep voice, Goyle agreeing with a grunt.

"I did make the man mad," Draco said distractedly. His two followers talked about it, not noticing Draco was deep in thought. He was ticked about detention on a Saturday, but Hermione was there. That meant hours of being in the same room with her. Maybe talking embarrassedly every few moments, even though he'd much rather be giving her pecks on her check. I'm kind of excited for detention, Draco thought, amazed. Merlin, what is she doing to me?

"And since when did you call Granger 'Hermione'?" Craig asked.

Damn.

Author's Note: Ahh, I am so excited for this story's continuation, now that I have to admit it. And I am especially pleased with this Chapter. Thanks for telling me how much you guys were interested in it becoming more than a Oneshot, I owe you! :D Please R&R. Ilyall.
