Author's Note: Yes Eryk Lestrange I will be going into Draco and Pansy's break up, you will see it in this chapter and some to come.

This chapter will have more drama in it than the last, hopefully you will enjoy.

N.E.W.T year was, if at all possible, much harder than O.W.L year. Draco had so much homework that her barely had any time for his 'friends'. He was starting to regret taking Ancient Runes, and his Arithmacy class seemed like a mistake as well. He had never had this much homework in his life. Sitting in the common room, he was not making much progress. His friends were imbeciles and the only person that could possibly help was Pansy. Great... Before he decided to set his books on fire, he figured he should go to bed and put an end to this tortuous first week. His bed never seemed so inviting. He removed his robes then changed into his nightclothes and flung himself onto his ever so comfortable four-poster bed. Sleep invaded his body almost immediately.

The room was too quiet, he got out of his bed but something was different. Walking along the hallway and down the stairs, he realized he was home. How did I get home? He walked into the den and heard a loud noise from the yard. Draco looked out the back window to see his Mother sitting with Pansy out on the patio, sunbathing and talking. He walked out side and was greeted with a shrill little scream as warm bare arms were wrapped around him and he was tackled to the ground.

"Eurgh! Pansy. Off. Now!" She let go of him and they got up.

"What are you doing here?" He asked her as he looked questioningly over to his Mother.

"What do you mean? Hello I am trying to get some colour before the school year starts."

"So...We're still friends then?"

"Draco...You're acting weird, are you okay?"

"I'm fine Pansy but confused. Just must be hungry is all."

"Confused about what? Nothing is different than the way it used to be."

"But did we not break up?" Pansy looked as if she was going to cry.

"So, that's what this is all about? You wish to break up with me?"

"NO! I thought that already happened, it must have just been a bad dream that's all. I thought we were apart, and I thought we were in school...and that the Weasley bitch was threatening to curse me...or hit me...and something to do with that mudblood Granger." Pansy frowned and shook her head. She gave him a hug and then walked off.

His Mother went into the kitchen to make dinner while Pansy and Draco curled up together on the grass under the shade of a great big oak tree. Draco was twirling her hair around his finger, while she stared into the sky looking for shapes in the clouds.

"Draco?..." She asked apprehensively. "I was wondering something."

"What is it?" He asked, not really paying attention to her but hearing her none the less.

"Why were you dreaming of mudbloods and blood traitors?"

"I wasn't I just had a dream about school and they were in it." She seemed satisfied with this answer because she did not pester him with any more questions.

Everything faded out as if a fog had suddenly come down blocking Pansy from his view. He was standing alone in the streets in just a pair of black jeans. A voice spoke to him echoing all around as if coming from above.

"DRACO! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?" He recognized the voice, it was shrill and stern...It was Pansy's voice.

"Do what?"

"YOU LYING CHEATING GIT!" Draco unintentionally cringed at the word 'cheating'. "I HOPE YOU ROT IN THE PITS OF HELL! YOU STUPID SELFISH BASTARD!"

"What are you on about you psycho bitch!"

"YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID? HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? WITH HER? I HOPE YOUR BITS FALL OFF FOR WHAT YOU DID! I SHOULD KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND YOU PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A MAN!"

"I Did Not Cheat On You! YOU CHEATED ON ME! I Did Not Do Anything Wrong You Selfish Bitch!" He yelled into the sky.

Draco awoke back in his green, silver and black four-poster bed drenched in sweat. He rolled onto his back and all of the memories flooded back. Pansy. Catching her with his next door neighbour. Then weeks later after he THOUGHT it was over, she walked in on him snogging Daphne Greengrass. It was because of this little incident that he had not spoken to either of them since then. Also why he decided on being alone for a while, aside from the fact that he had no time for a girlfriend, he was too busy doing his bloody homework. Deciding that he couldn't get back to sleep he crawled out of his bed, dressed in his casual clothes and headed out to the grounds, it was barely light out and he knew that the lake looked beautiful at this time. Sitting by it could be a relaxing way to start off the morning before spending all day doing all the work his teachers assigned him. He sat down by the lake staring off into the distance watching the giant squid occasionally flip a huge tentacle out of the water before bringing it back down with a splash. The sun was completely over the horizon now and Draco could hear voices of other students on the ground.

"I guess I am not alone anymore..." He said to himself as he sighed. Before he could get up and head back to the castle the voices grew louder. He looked over to them, it must have been a bad omen of the day to come, Granger and Weasley were heading his way. He swore to himself as he tried to pretend he did not notice them. He picked up a few stones from the side of the lake and started to skip them across the water. For a few minutes he felt as if he was alone again until a voice broke his tranquil silence.

"And what has that lake ever done to you Malfoy? Or are you just trying to hit the Giant Squid?" Draco's muscles tensed at the thought of being directly addressed by a mudblood.

"How Dare You Speak To Me You Filthy Mudblood! Go Away!" He spat those words at Hermione like venom from a snake. She pulled her wand on him but he was faster.

"Rictrumsempra!" He shouted sending a blast of purple light at Hermione who was forced back onto the ground rolling around with uncontrollable laughter. He turned his wand on Ginny who had already put both of her hands up as if to surrender. Lucky me, I don't have to fight her too.

"Get out of here Weasley before I curse you too!" He yelled at her before she turned around and ran. He released the curse on Hermione and she just laid there, trying to catch her breath. Draco stood over her body with a menacing glare.

"You do know I could have done much worse...Right?" She nodded staring up at him now. "I will do just that...unless you adhere to my conditions..." She had regained her breath and she stood up now staring him straight in the eyes.

"What conditions? Why do I owe You anything?"

"Because I can make your life a living HELL! And because I need your help..." Draco trialled off during his last few words.

"Like, tutoring you?" She laughed in his face. "I Will NOT Help someone like You."

"You Will...or else."

"Or Else What?"

"This..." Draco said in almost a whispered voice. "Crucio!" and Hermione was on the ground screaming in pain for what seemed like ever but was only seconds. He let off the curse and looked into her eyes. "Help me, and I will lay off you and your friends. Reject my offer and I will make sure the rest of the term will be the worst days of your life."
