So I'm in my 5th chapter of this story. I need some review! Tell me what you think I am doing right / wrong. I'm not exactly thrilled with my first chapters and already considering editing. I have 11 of you following this story so someone got to have an opinion right? Thanks for reading guys!

Hermione woke to the sun streaming through the window and groaned as she rolled over.

"Oh Hermione." Ginny sing songed as she walked into the room. Hermione closed her eyes.

"What time is it?" she asked groggily

"7am now get up." She said excitedly. Hermione sat up glaring at the young witch knowing there was no arguing with her. Ginny was already pulling at her arm and leading her towards the showers. "Quick go shower while I pick you out an outfit."

"Ginny I really don't think," She started but she was pushed in to the bathroom and the door slammed in her face. She stepped into the shower allowing the hot water to soak her hair and slide down her body. She closed her eyes and sighed this is going to be a long day. She quickly showered and emerged from the bathroom to find Ginny sitting on her bed. A silky purple sleeveless button up lay on the bed paired with a dark blue jean skirt. She eyed them wearily; she would never usually dress like this preferring to stick to the Hogwarts uniforms.

"Ginny," She started the younger witch laughed.

"You're not getting your uniform; you are wearing this or nothing at all." Hermione huffed and picked the clothes up quickly dressing. She leaned into the closet and pulled out a pair of purple stilettos slipping them on her feet.

"Wow Hermione," Ginny said as she motioned for her to sit on the bed. "Let me fix your hair." She whispered. Hermione sat and within minuets Ginny had it up in an immaculate twist. "Now," She said standing before Hermione "Get down to breakfast, show Malfoy exactly what he could have."

"Ginny!" Hermione exclaimed.

"You may lie to the world Hermione granger but you are not lying to me. Now let's go I wouldn't miss this for the world." She said taking the girls arm. Hermione grabbed her bag full of her potions materials and her robes carefully throwing them on before they headed down to the common room. She was relieved to see the boys had already left. When she stepped into the great hall all heads turned to look at her. Ginny held her in the doorway for a moment before slowly making their way to the table. Blaize eyes fell on the girl and he quickly jabbed Draco in the side. He looked at Blaize who nodded toward the table. He was happy he hadn't actually been eating because his mouth dropped open as he gawked at her. She looked over at him and smiled coyly before sitting down with her back to him.

"Draco, it's not very dignified to stare with your mouth hanging open like that." Blaize commented. Draco immediately closed his mouth and shook his head.

"Well this is certainly going to make potions interesting." Draco said as he stood up from the table. Hermione jumped when the bell sounded, she was thankful to not be the center of attention. She stood outside the potions classroom consciously aware of the warm body standing much closer than necessary.

"Who knew you were hiding all of that granger." He growled in her ear as he walked past and into the room. His words sent chills down her back as she too made her way in. She sighed when she noticed he had sat at the table she always did. She walked over and sat her bag down before taking her seat. Draco stretched and laid his arm across the back of her chair.

"Malfoy what are you doing?" She ask he laughed.

"Well looks like Malfoy found another …" Ron stopped dead. The girl he was just about to insult turned around and glared at him.

"H-Hermione!" He yelled.

"What were you going to say Ronald?" She ask.

"Nothing." He mumbled before walking to the back of the class and sitting down next to harry. His face was red and he looked as though his head would pop off any moment.

"You going to give Ron a coronary." She mumbled.

"Am I now?" He ask as he leaned in close to her. "Like you did to half the school population dressing like this today?"

"Ginny," she started

"You look good Granger you should do this more often." He hissed and she giggled.

"Better watch Malfoy someone might think your flirting with me." Her face was red and he was surprised by her brazen attitude.

"Maybe I am." He said before he leaned back in his seat not removing his arm from the back of her chair. Snape droned on about the draught of death.

"You will be working with you table mates for the practical lesson." Snape said. Hermione stood and walked over to the store cupboard to get the necessary supplies. She had just reached the desk when someone caught her foot causing her to fall forward. She closed her eyes for the impact that never came. Instead a strong arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her up into a standing position. She saw a bit of red hair fly past her and looked over her shoulder glaring.

"You alright Granger?" Draco ask. He had yet to release her waist and she could feel his strong build against her back. She quickly nodded and he released her. She sat in her chair and began to work on the potion. "Add infusion of worm wood, then powdered root of asphodel." She mumbled setting the ingredients up "Stir clockwise, add the sloth brain" she continued to mummer. Draco was watching her intently; she's so cute when she's concentrating. I'll have to remember to thank the she weasel for her choice in clothing.

"Ready Malfoy?" she asked he nodded. "I'll add the wormwood and asphodel you prepare the sopophorus bean." She then picked up the two ingredients and poured them into the caldron. She stirred it twice and turned to find him holding the sloth brain aloft. She wordlessly took it her fingers brushing against the back of his hand as she did. He then lifted the bean over the caldron and the juice flowed out. "You didn't cut it?" she asked curiously he shook his head.

"Perk of your godfather being a potions master you learn a thing or two. May I?" He as pointing to the cauldron she nodded and he moved closer than necessary to her stirring the potion anticlockwise 7 times before turning it clockwise once.

"It's perfect." She breathed. Snape walked over and smiled at the potion.

"Ms Granger and Mr Malfoy have brewed a perfect potion." He commended before turning to the rest of the class. "Id like to see results like these from the rest of the class." He said and slowly strode over to Harry and Ron. The two were making a disaster of things and Draco smirked. "Mr. Potter Mr. Weasley what is this mess?" he ask neither of them would look up. He flicked his wand at the cauldron removing the mess. "You have an essay due on the proper application of this potion due Friday." He said and dismissed the class. Hermione grabbed her things and stood from her seat. She turned to look at Draco and came face to face with Ron.

"Ron what-"she started but was cut off by a sharp pain in her cheek. She raised her hand to her cheek her mouth open in shock. Then she heard it, the crack of Ron's nose breaking for the second time in 24 hours. She stared in shock at her best friend.

"Couldn't have said it better myself Potter." Draco said turning his attention to Hermione.

"Are you ok?" he ask he moved her hand. A large red handprint was forming on her cheek. He pointed his wand at it. Relief spread through her.

"Someone get Mr. Weasley to the hospital wing." Snape said lazily. Harry sighed before levitating Ron in front of him.

"I'm sorry Hermione, I'll see you at lunch?" he ask meekly she nodded and he left the room. Hermione began to leave when Draco lay his hand on her shoulder.

"Fancy a walk on the grounds?" He ask she smiled.

"Id like that."
