Okay guys. Since my plan was to do a chapter each day, then I will give you two this time.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Chapter 5-

I didn't see her again. It really broke me inside as everyone that was in Gryffindor that I tried to talk to ignored me. Yes, I even tried to talk to Potthead and Weaselbee after awhile, but still no luck. Hermione didn't want to talk to me, so that's plain fine with me.

I walked sulkingly to the common room, and mumbled the password to the olden witch. Apparently Theo Nott noticed this, and he started to stroll towards me. "What's up my man?" he asked, but changed his tone once he saw my face. "Oh my merlin dude! You have bags! You NEVER have bags!"

Was he joking?

I ran to a mirror, and sure enough, lay two giant black smears under my eyes.

Well really I didn't mind since I hadn't had much sleep for over a week. Last week that is.

"Man...how about you go on ahead and head up for the night? Looks like you may need to go take a dreamless sleep potion to knock you out for a few days." he said, pushing me towards the stairs. I walked through many students, and finally made it to my dorm where Blaise and Goyle slept as well.

::::::::

I grabbed a dreamless sleep potion off of the counter, and gulped it down in one drink. Plus, it's great Madame Pomfrey lent me some of it from the incident in third year. Not.

Before I knew it, I was asleep, awaiting for the next day to open my eyelids again.

::::

The next day was much better. I had decided that today I would try to impress Hermione. Snape may have that plan of his up in between my sleeve-literally-but I refuse to try and argue with her. Unless something causes it of course.

Since I had already done DADA (Defense Against The Dark Arts),and finished my essay extremely early, then it was time to go to potions. What better way to hang out with the one you fancy and your godfather?

I waltzed in with a smile on my face, when Snape turned towards me. "Ah Draco, please take a seat." Snape replied coldly. I lost my smile, and sat by Blaise, who was a close distance from Hermione.

"Now before we begin, I want to put you in partners for this project. When I call your name, I expect you to move together quickly and don't make it difficult." he scanned his beady eyes around the room, and looked towards Harry. "Potter and Zabini." they both groaned, but they got together anyway. I deafened out the names when mine was called. "Malfoy and Granger." I smirked at her, and she only rolled her eyes. I swaggered to her, and sat next to her, not taking my eyes from her. "Now that everyone is together, I will start in making instructions." Snape drawled, and continued, "Today you will be making the Draught of Living Death. Ingredients are on the board, and ingredients in general are in the back cupboard." he drew his wand to the now open cupboard. "Begin."

::::

"Malfoy..." Hermione whispered, nudging his arm. He turned towards her, and she backed away to make more room since their was barely any space between them. "I need you to put the leaf into the cauldron to see if the potion is complete." she whispered, looking towards Snape who was looking at them suspiciously. He picked up the leaf, without looking away from Hermione, and it burned into the liquid, slowly but heatedly. "Done." he whispered back, smirking widely. A smile crept on her cheeks, and she turned crimson; there was no way out of knowing this time.

Snape came around, studying everyone's complete potions. Then after a few minutes of scolding with Neville and his irrational measuring, he walked over to Draco's and Hermione's. He scanned over it, and dropped a small leaf in, just like Draco had done, except that he wasn't so busy staring at Hermione while doing it. The leaf disintagrated into the hot liquid, and Snape smirked. "Exceptionally perfect Mr. Malfoy...Ms. Granger." he said with a tone of excitement in his tone. He then turned to Draco, and nodded his head. "Yep." Draco replied, watching as Snape walked away. Hermione looked at him strangly, and then turned back to her notes, with a hint of a smile etching her face.

Oh. My. Merlin.

I can't believe that I am so backed up on this story. AH!

Ok...anyways, I wanted to say that I really appreciate the favoriting and follwoings that you guys have gaven me. That is what keeps me going. Hehe.

But sadly, I am in school now, and won't be uploading quite as frequently as I was during the summer. (wah wah wah X X)

But I promise that I will try to as much as possible to each day to finish a chapter and put it on herefor you. Again, I am so sorry.

Plus, If any of you have any sort of help fpr any of my stories, please tell me in a PM. I would really like that.

Au Revoir.
