Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy have gone to the same school for years now. They seem to hate each other--they fight in the hallways, through insults back and forth in class, and do whatever they can to get under each other's skin. But is that all? Do they really hate each other as much as everyone thinks they do? And on top of that, does each one hate the other as much as each thinks they do? After all, neither has ever had a full conversation with the other without it involving sneers and jabs.
Perhaps there could be something more.
When the chemistry teacher--Mr. Slughorn--partners them up for an assignment over winter break, their relationship could begin to change.
Will they become friends? Decide that that seeming-hate could be admiration, or even love? Or will they just continue to despise each other, the way they have since the duo first walked through those high school doors to begin four years of hell together?
