Hermione Granger knew that her repeated year will never be normal. Being the only link to the return of the Dark Lord is one thing, but being link to Draco Malfoy is a whole new other. Warning: This fanfic contains a lot of witty remarks, sexual jokes and a whole bucket of swearing. The characters and settings all belong to the awe-inspiring J.K. Rowling and her superb imagination. Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING but the plot.

Draco Malfoy, whose mother insisted he return and complete his seventh year at Hogwarts, has been through so much. After the Battle, he felt as if he meant nothing to anyone. The only person who showed love to him was his mother, Narcissa Malfoy. His father, Lucius...was a bit traumatized after the war and suffered from what Muggles call Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome. Everyone seemed to have forgotten all about Draco Malfoy. Or so it seemed to him. Was there anyone who would be willing to forgive Draco for what he was forced into doing? Would anyone ever love him? Ravenclaws are clever and Hufflepuffs are loyal, but there is only one brave Gryffindor who comes to Draco's aid. She's an "insufferable know-it-all" who cares about Draco more than either of the two think.

Draco and Hermione have been enemies for as long as anyone has known them. It's in their nature to scowl at each other as they walk down the hallways to Potions, or mock one another when they make a mistake. However, when Professor McGonagall assigns Miss Granger to tutor Draco Malfoy in Transfiguration an unlikely friendship brews into something else. With the Yule Ball coming up, one night can change everything. Draco's family gets into the picture as well. Can their unlikely pairing last through different lifestyles and tasks? Adding in Draco's cousin, what will happen when the three of them get involved into one situation? How will Draco handle it? -Story starts the fourth year, and continues on. :)
