It was a cold Friday afternoon at Hogwarts. The Slytherin and Gryffindoor students were just finishing up the last class of the week, potions, when professor Snape handed back the homework from the previous class. Hermione smirked as she looked at her paper. To no surprise she had yet again gotten a perfect score. As the class was dismissed she gathered her things and got up to leave. She walked towards the door and just before she could walk out a tall figure stood in her way. She looked up and glared.

"What do you want Malfoy?" She asked annoyed
" I want to make a bet with you Granger."
"I don't have time for your childish games Draco, I have papers to write, now move."
"What's wrong? You scared that you can't beat me? I simply want to bet that you can't get a better score than me on the next paper Professor Snape has assigned"
Hermione paused for a moment and then smiled knowing she rarely ever gets less than a perfect score on her assignments. "What do I get if I win this bet?" She asked intrigued.
Malfoy stepped closer. Just close enough to whisper in her ear. "If you win, I'll leave you and your pathetic little friends alone for the rest of the year.. but if you lose, you are to become my slave. You will do whatever I want whenever I please."
She stood silent for a minute unsure of what to say. Sure she was confident that she would win, why shouldn't she be? If she lost though, who knows what evil things that foul ferret could have planned for her. However, she was so confident in her abilities to charm her teachers through her school work that she agreed. "It's a bet then, looks as though it's going to be a boring year for you Malfoy."

Hermione walked passed Draco who had a devilish grin on his face. He walked towards the front of the classroom and up to professor Snape who stood by his desk with a smirk. " quite confident with ourselves...aren't we Draco?" Professor Snape said curios as to the boys plan.
"She's been losing focus professor, really all I need is for the little minx to make one tiny error and then she's mine. And I plan on making this year one she'll never forget."

Later that evening Hermione was in the library working on her potions paper when suddenly the lights went out. She grabbed her wand and attempted to utter the lumos spell but found that no words would come from her mouth. She heard footsteps around her and turned to try and see who was there but nobody was to be found. The lights flickered back on and one again she could speak. She returned to the table where she had been working to find a small piece of parchment folded on top of her papers. She sat down and looked at the letter.
" I can't wait to show you what's in store once you lose our little bet dear, it's going to be a very exciting year for you indeed"
