Has it all Ended?

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter

I know its been ages since I've uploaded and I'm really sorry but I've been swamped with homework and have also lost my USB stick that contained the next chapters to my stories so I've had to re-write them all. But hopefully you will enjoy this chapter and please let me know what you think. ;)

Chapter 4- Cupboard Fun?

"The pain of starting school is as welcoming as taking muggle studies" Draco moaned

"I agree with you there mate" Blaise replied.

Unknown to the two boys they were in for some shock, because of the war it was now thought that muggle studies should be a compulsory course especially for Purebloods to reduce the threat of another war. Draco was extortionately hungry and tired from planning all night long was dying for a sausage and bacon roll. The great hall was crowded with a mixture of different people: There was the first years who all looked like they would crap their pants at any moment and the rest well where mostly complaining about having to get up early. All but one. Any guesses who? Granger. Draco thought she was mental for being excited about classes especially when they didn't know what to expect since everything had changed since the war and it was something Draco hated. Just as he gulped down his first bite his owl flew overhead giving him his new timetable. What the Fuck? He thought as he stared wide eyed at the parchment. Muggle Studies I didn't sign up for that piece of shit he thought. Looking up he saw the shocked and disgusted faces of most 7th year Slytherin's.

"Eh Muggle studies. Why would that be on here?" Blaise wondered out loud.

"Look around dipshit!" Draco cursed.

Blaise turned his head to see the rest of their year in the same shocked mode they were both in.

Not only were the Slytherin's shocked but across the table 2/3's of the golden trio chorused the same argument. Hermione however rolled her eyes at the boys and told them that the course was easy and actually quite fun. Of Course the class wouldn't be that difficult for Harry but for Ron who didn't even know what a telephone was meant it would be a rather difficult course but in the long term it would make assimilation into muggle society all that easier for him. Which the ministry hoped would be the case for every pureblood.

Dumbledore who had heard the cries of the students, mostly Slytherin's, stood up and came forward to the podium with his wand at his neck his voice projected "Enough! Muggle studies is now a compulsory course so there is no point arguing about it. Now be gone I believe each of you has a class" Sure this didn't sound like Dumbledore but he knew if he didn't state that fact then he would have hundreds of kids hounding him so they can drop the class.

After finishing their breakfast and everything else Ron could find the Golden trio walked down to the dungeons where professor Slughorn was waiting with the Slytherin's. The moment the doors opened the students filled into the class grabbing seats with their friend. Harry sat down at the desk closet to the door unfortunately Ron was much quicker than Hermione and managed to grab the seat next to him. Not bothering Hermione took the seat next to Neville smiling at her band mate.

"I wouldn't get comfortable if I were you there's a seating chart: Brown and Potter..-" Slughorn continued " - Zabini and Thomas, Patil and Finnigan, Weasley and Parkinson and finally Malfoy and Granger"

Hermione and Draco simultaneously shouted " I CANT WORK WITH HIM" - "HER!"

Slughorn genuinely looked sorry as he spoke " I'm sorry Miss Granger I really am but this is all Dumbledore's doing"

"Are you insulting me?" Draco asked baffled at the fact he didn't apologize for him having to work with her.

"Yeah he did" Harry told him " Is your father going to hear about it now!" he mocked.

"Get over here Granger!" Draco glared slumping down in his seat.

"Don't talk to her like that Malfoy!" Ron shouted rising from his seat.

In the same way Harry had just mocked him Draco turned "Why you going to get me to eat slugs again"

Moving with the rest of the class Hermione took her new seat up the back of the class with the guy who had tormented her all her life.

When everyone had settled into their new seats Slughorn continued with his lesson.

"I think most of you will love this lesson today. You have all heard of the aging potion." Not allowing the students to answer he continued "I believe that the offspring's of dear Molly Weasley used it during your 4th year. Now in your pairs you will make the same aging potion and at the end of it I will allow you to drink it."

"Sir, Do we have to drink it because I really don't want to see what I'm going to be like with wrinkles. I mean Fred and George did not look good after that potion" Lavender groaned.

"You are only making a small dose of the potion so it will show you what you will look like when your around 25 not when you are older like me. But if you still have a-" Slughorn was cut off by lavender who squealed.

"Omg I wonder how hot I'll be" She said out loud to Patil who nodded in the same excitement. Hermione rolled her eyes- some girls were too into there looks.

The class excitedly got their ingredients together and started to work away with their partners. Hermione had waited till everyone had gotten there ingredients before going into the closet to get them herself. Gathering a banana and leaves she looked up at the shelves for the bit of the snake that had to be used. Unfortunately it was on the top shelf which was way out of her reach. Putting her other ingredients down she stood on her tip toes trying to reach but only made it worse by pushing it further back. Draco who was sitting alone wondered what the hell was taking her so long. Five minutes later she still hadn't returned, sighing, he left his seat to investigate.

Upon entering Draco couldn't help but laugh at her situation: she was currently jumping up and down trying to grab hold of the container. Frustrated she let out a cry of exasperation. Thinking she was alone Hermione stomped her foot like the spoiled kids in teenage chick flicks.

"Need a hand Granger" Draco smirked leaning against the door way.

Turning around startled Hermione glared at him "No!"

Once again she stood on the tip of her toes not getting any closer to her desired object.

Draco who was chuckling went up behind her putting his hands on her hips he lifted her.

"What are you doing? Put me down NOW!" Hermione shouted.

"Just grab the damn jar Granger" He replied.

After she had grabbed the jar Draco lifted her down but never let go of her hips. Instead was caressing her sides with his thumbs. Hermione who turned round so she was facing Draco hadn't realised how close they were. Her breath caught in her throat as she gazed into his gorgeous silver eyes. Leaning in further Draco's lips got closer and closer. Hermione closed her eyes not knowing what was going to happen but was waiting in anticipation for what she didn't know. Moving his hands Draco picked the rest of the ingredients that had been left on the floor next to Hermione. Leaving a confused Hermione herself in the closet with a dead snake.

In silence she went back to her seat where Draco had already thrown himself into the task of grinding the leaves. Grabbing the cauldron and her wand she cast a heating charm so the potion could boil away like requested in the instructions. Next Hermione peeled the skin of the banana into the cauldron leaving the rest of it on the chopping board.

"You need to put the leaves in now" Hermione told Draco who had just finished grinding them.

The next step was one that neither of them liked so much having to wait 10 mins in silence was just awkward with someone you hated.

Hermione took her seat and began twiddling with her thumbs as she watched the rest of the class prepare there potions.

"Hey Granger want a banana" Draco laughed as he put the banana up to her mouth.

"No Malfoy I don't want a banana" she turned around.

"What about something that's similar?" he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Your disgusting" She grimaced.

Sharply standing up she looked into the cauldron to see if the potion was finished.

Draco who was smirking stood up beside her placing his hand on her arse he leaned in to whisper into her ear "Hagrid's not the only giant if you know what I mean"

Slapping his hand away she stormed over to the teacher to ask him to check on the potion.

Draco chuckled as he sat back down in his seat quite happy with his comment and the effect it had on her. He looked over to Potters table where he was met with a reeling glare. Good he thought. He saw the show. This was going to be easy he smirked.

"Sir I think our potion is done" Hermione said.

"Very well Miss Granger I'll be over in a minute" Slughorn told her.

Following her teacher over to the table she felt someone staring. Turning around she noticed Harry looking at her 'Are you ok?' he mouthed.

Smiling as her reply she went back to her table and stood next to Malfoy but kept her distance by placing a chair between them/

"Ok the potion looks perfect." Slughorn told them as he poured the potion into two cups "Now do you know what to do next?" he asked.

Hermione nodded and Slughorn left to go and help Seamus who had just set the banana on fire. Typical Draco though.

"Well?" Draco asked her.

Hermione quickly reached up to his face and pulled a hair from his scalp

"Fuck sake Granger" he yelped rubbing his hair.

Hermione who rolled her eyes went back to putting the two pieces of hair in the separate cups. Bubbling for a second she lifted the cups and handed Draco his and downed hers. The potion tasted like venom- horrible and sickening.

The whole class stopped what they were doing to look at the couple who had just aged around 7 years in the space of 10 seconds.

Hermione stood open mouthed at the sight of Malfoy sure she had always known that he was attractive. Most girls drooled over him every day she had even caught a couple of 1st years checking him out in the great hall last night. There was no words to describe how handsome his older self looked: his platinum blonde hair fell below his eyes just like it was in present day but his piercing eyes had softened in the most beautiful way that made him look- kind? He had grown even more muscular and ripped than anyone she had ever seen. She had never saw anyone so handsome in her life he outshone all actors in the muggle world that Hermione had ever seen.

While Hermione was staring, more like drooling to be honest, over Malfoy the rest of the classes eyes were cast on Hermione. Even Draco couldn't deny that she was breathtaking. Her features had sharpened but still looked kind and welcoming. While her hair had grown longer and now stopped halfway down her back it had replaced the wild mop from 1st year for soft ringlets. She had grown more curves that were making all the boys drool.

Soon the potion wore off and the two enemies stood beside each other staring into the others eyes until the teacher shouted signalling the class was over. Quickly grabbing her stuff Hermione ran to her next class thankful that it wasn't with the Slytherin's or with Harry and Ron. She had to think about what had just happened….was she attracted to Malfoy?
