Disclaimer: I own no part whatsoever of Harry Potter. That is J.K Rowling's job. I own nothing here except for the PLOT! The plot is MINE! You cannot take it from me! Mine:P Yes I'm crazy.

A/N: Hey! This is my first fanfic, just so you know. Although she may know not it, DracosBloodyKisses' story "If This Was a Normal Day" inspired me to write this. Thanks!

Here we go…the beginning of the beginning of… my story!

Hermione lay quietly on the soft pillows of her four poster bed in the Head dorm, staring vaguely at the canopy that made up the ceiling of the bed. She sighed quietly to herself.

Of all the unlikely people, it had to be him.

She wondered what it was going to be like.

It's going to be horrible.

I might go mad and kill him, even.

Hermione shook her head and went over Dumbledore's speech again.

Ok. One more time. "Welcome students" … blah blah blah … "the Forest is forbidden"… yeah yeah yeah … tuck in.

Wait. She frowned. It wasn't that speech, it was the other one!

Oh yeah…

Her stomach squirmed as she remembered Dumbledore's exact words.

"…And this year's Head Boy and Girl will be Hermione Granger and -"

Hermione shook her head. She decided she didn't want to remember.

She wished desperately it had been Ron. What could be better? Head Boy, Head Girl, sharing their very own dorm…they could be doing anything – Hermione smirked - and no one would know.

Unless, of course, someone heard them.

Hermione basked for a while in the thoughts of what Ron and she would do if they had the large Head dorm to themselves.

The door creaked open, and Hermione's smile faded.

Instead it has to be him. That fucking idiot. How long I've despised him, how long I've suffered from his schemes, how long I've been a victim of his (though it sounds childish) name-calling.

Her eyes narrowed as footsteps drew near.

I hate him.

The door creaked open.

"What are you doing?"

Hermione swung her legs over the side of the bed, and straightened herself so she looked the questioner right in the face. She eyed his slicked back blonde hair, his pale skin, his stormy grey eyes. They seemed to want to swallow her right up, keep her trapped in their cold depths.

"Is it a problem if I take a rest, in my own bed, Malfoy?"

The slate-grey eyes hardened. The left eyebrow lifted, just barely noticeable.

"Not a problem at all…Mudblood.

I merely took the time at all to breathe your filthy air, to inform you that it is dinner."

He turned on his heel and left, not quite slamming the door, but making sure it made a respectable sound after him.

Hermione stared long and hard at the door before kicking it; it made dull thud, leaving Hermione with no satisfaction whatsoever and a pain in her toe.

What does he care if I eat or not anyway, she thought angrily?

She poured herself a cool glass of water from the jug at the window and drank deeply. The sun was setting outside and its beauty behind the forest struck Hermione as sudden.

She rested the glass against her cheek and gazed at the view, now not really seeing it at all.

She dreaded the following time to pass, with Malfoy and she stuck in this room. She dreaded the forced conversations, or worse, the hated silence. She dreaded that, in the end, they might even not hate each other as much. She shivered at the thought and decided that she would spend as much time as possible out of the Head's dorm.

Hermione set the glass down and slipped on a pair of shoes. She looked around her room, and decided she wasn't ever going to let Malfoy in here. The at least she could have some form of privacy.

She stepped out into their common room. Two squishy armchairs sat, facing the glowing fire. A bookcase, large enough to be a mini library, spread across two walls, and a small table with three chairs stood meekly in the corner.

This place would almost be cosy..

If only it wasn't inhabited by that jerk-off as well.

She left the common room, ready to go downstairs and seek out Harry and Ron, when she realized with a gasp that Malfoy was waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs.

A/N: Did you like it? Please review! I'd like to know if I should continue or if I should change anything or what.
