THIS IS PART TWO : "You're playing a game you can't win," he whispered, tightening his grip. "I already have," she choked out, becoming light-headed as she struggled to get a full breath in. He was well aware just where to hold, because he held her right on the edge of passing out. "Is that so?" He asked. "From where I'm sitting, you have not."

September first 1997, the start of 6th year and the start of change. As Hermione arrives in Hogwarts, it's no longer the safe familiar walls she cherished as a child. It's secrets, fear and sparring lessons. Sparring lessons which are meant to prepare the older students for war, making her feel anything but prepared as she fails to challenge any of her opponents.

Draco Malfoy who seems to be drowning in his own thoughts and worry about what this year has to bring, just like her. Are they really alike after all?
