"Well, how was it?" Ron and Harry asked the next morning during breakfast.

I took a sip of my water before answering, "It was okay."
I didn't really want to get into details with them. I did promise I wouldn't tell anyone about us meeting. It just felt wrong.

"Did you punch him in the nose?" Harry joked.

"I didn't." I answered truthfully, "He wasn't as bad as usual. Probably because deep down he knew he had to make some improvements to his grades."
Just as I said this, I noticed Malfoy walk into the Great Hall and sit down at his table. He looked like he didn't get much sleep last night. As I was taking in his appearance, I accidentally caught his eyes. Quickly, I glanced down at my plate trying to make it look like I wasn't actually staring at him.

"Have you two started this potions assignment?" Ron asked, "It's ridiculous! How am I supposed to make Babbling Beverage?"

"You should have chosen an easy one." Harry told him, "Like a first year potion."

"Well....I didn't exactly think of that. It's too late now. All of them have been filled." Ron complained.

"What are you doing Hermione?" Harry asked.

"I chose Polyjuice Potion." I answered, "Slughorn is well aware of the events that took place our second year and allowed me to chose it as my potion."

"Of course you're doing the potion that takes a month to make." Ron sighed, "Maybe I just won't do it."

"Suit yourself." I shrugged, "Slughorn grades hard, you know this. This is a big assignment."

Harry and Ron exchanged glances before returning back to their plates.
After finishing, Harry and Ron left to class while I stayed behind to glance at my notes before my exam.

"Studying so early?" A voice asked behind me.

"I am. Maybe you should try it." I replied, knowing it was Malfoy behind me.

He slipped beside me and took a good look at me, "Was that supposed to be an insult? You really need to do better than that if you want to offend me."

"So you want me to mention how you're an annoying prat who wears his ass as a hat?" I asked in a joking tone.

"Hm...better." He smirked, "See you after class, Granger." Then he stood up and left.

He's actually quite funny.
Shortly after he left I decided to pack up as well, then headed to my classroom to ace my exam.

Later in the afternoon I found myself anxious to go to my tutoring secession. Don't ask me why. I wasn't sure.
When my last class ended I headed straight for McGonagall's classroom. Surely enough, Malfoy was still there before I was.

"Wow, that was quicker than yesterday." He said, "Anxious to see me?"

"Anxious to see you?" I laughed, "Please."
It was a complete lie and I knew it.

"So...love potion, are we making it today?" He asked.

"I wasn't planning on it. I say we focus on he actual paper first." I smiled.
Why is he so interested in making this potion?

"Damn, I was wanting to see you go on about how you're attracted to me."

How I'm what?!
"Excuse me?" I asked. He really caught me off guard.
