A/N: Thanks to the many Reviewers, and thanks for all the great input. To tell you guys the truth I don't have this story mapped out in my head. I have a scene here and a scene there and an ending of course but what happens along the winding path before we reach the end is still unknown so any and all advice is welcomed. ~Slytherin Smartass~

Im not in love

This is not my heart

Im not gonna waste these words

About a Girl

- The Academy Is

Hermione was not the least bit intimidated by the door as many others obviously were, or maybe they were simply scared of the man the four walls contained. All Hermione noticed was that people seamed to walk by the door quite quickly not quite as leisurely as they walked about the rest of the office.

She walked up to his office and knocked on the door. She heard a muffled "come in" sound from the other side of the door, she stepped forward and twisted the knob and gracefully walked into his office.

Upon her arrival he did not look up from his morning paper, he simply said "you're late Granger". At this she looked at the clock and it was true she was fifteen minutes late, it must have taken her more time with that guard and with Lucius than she had thought.

"I apologize Malfoy, I was kept at security for ten minutes because you're idiotic guard Charlie didn't believe that I worked here" She spat icily. She continued this time in a softer tone "you should be happy im here now that horrid man was about to through me out of the building, until Blaise saved me and took me to your father, then he directed me to your office, your highness" The last part she said with malice causing Draco to look up from his Daily prophet long enough to look her up and down and then go back to his paper.

"Whatever Granger, I don't want excuses I want you here on time tomorrow" he said "Well that is if you make it to tomorrow as an employee" he added as an after thought.

He stood from his desk and walked past Hermione and out the door, after he was a few steeps out the door he turned and looked at Hermione "Granger come on you should be smart enough to know how to follow someone after all you followed potty and weaslebee around for 7 years of your life" with that comment she restrained the comment she had thought up about him being the ferret and that he should be following her on a leach, and followed him out the door.

"Malfoy were are we going?" Hermione questioned as they neared the elevator, he stepped inside and motioned for her to do the same. He remained quiet and did not justify her question with an answer. They arrived on the sixth floor which was two floors up from his offices, the doors opened to reveal a room filled with port keys and fireplaces no doubt used for fluing.

Draco steered towards a fireplace, and grabbed a handful of flu-powder. "Come on granger get in here" He directed. She stepped into the fire and he wrapped his arm around he waist, dropped the flu-powder and yelled a location she was not familiar with.

Meanwhile in Lucius's office he sat on the phone with his wife Narcissa, talking about there latest plan to find the perfect match for there son. To them perfect meant three things: 1- That she was intelligent 2- that she looked the part to be a Malfoy and the final one was that it would help re-build the Malfoy name to the fullest, by the girl preferably being a Muggleborn witch.

The pair had looked for quite awhile for a witch that would be able to control Draco and to fill all their requirements. So far they had only found one and she had started work this morning as Draco's assistant.

Yes that's right the pair had employed Hermione granger in hope that Draco and Hermione would fall in love for most of the order and many friends thought they pair were perfect for each other and that they were just to stubborn to admit it. After all Opposites attract for they are not opposite they are complimentary.

Unbeknown to Lucius Blaise Zambini had heard the whole conversation with his wife, and had many different plans running through his head, but what I can guarantee you is that none of them included Draco Malfoy with Hermione Granger.
