It's Hermione's final year at Hogwarts, and she wants it to be memorable. But Draco is making it her worst year so far. Girls are swooning over Draco and follow him wherever he goes. But Hermione's had enough of the giggling and squealing of girls, and wants to give Draco a piece of her mind. But what Hermione doesn't know is that she's the only thing on Draco's mind. He might have girls falling at his feet, but is determined to get Hermione to like him, and is willing to do whatever it takes.

Hermione felt the pounding in her ears again. She would see him for the first time since the Great Hall, gaunt and stricken at the Slytherin table with his mother clutching his arm. She hadn't meant to look for him. Not in the corridors, not beneath the white sheets of the fallen, not on the way to the Chamber of Secrets with Ron, but she was a stupid girl.
