A/N: So I don't own the wonderful world of Harry Potter that belongs to the oh so talented J.K. Rowling but I do claim this plot as mine so there you go.
Frenchy From Grease is not mine.
The thoughts in a single quotation that are italized are Hermione's and in bold are Draco's, I picked up this handy little idea and have full permission to use by none other than Miss. Rootbeerfloat herself. Now after you read this check out her stories under the name RootbeerFloatShallPrevail, she is a must read. That's it for now.
"God, you are so beautiful," he whispered.
She woke up with a smile on her face and a shaking in her bones.
Hermione was sitting at table with quill in hand. She was journaling about her first week in Nice. The first week of a long awaited summer holiday. The first thing she had written about was how much she missed Nate. Which would be normal being that they had been dating for about 5 months now. But last night she had the strangest dream she possibly has ever had in her life.
'Now, how to describe that dream? Hm… Well, besides strange, weird, disgusting oh, and curious. God why him? Of all the people in Hogwarts, no the wizarding world, why him? I mean it makes no sense. I didn't have any classes but Potions with him. He wasn't a prefect last year with me. Hmmm… Rather odd if you tell me.'
Walking the corridors doing final rounds around the castle. I run into none another than Draco Malfoy in all of his infamous glory. He just smirks that God forsaken smirk that makes me want to puke. Ugh. Turns to me and says "Evening Granger," huh? Wearily I say "Evening Malfoy." Then the next thing I know we are walking down the same hall together.
"What are you doing Malfoy? Why aren't you in your common room?"
"Have you gone mental Granger?"
"Not that I know of, why?"
"You just asked me why I wasn't in my common room. Have you fallen on your head or are you just deciding that you didn't want me to be a prefect any more?"
"Huh?"
"Did you forget?"
"Yeah must have."
"So anyways how were classes today for you?"
"Why are you being so nice?"
"Ok, are you sure you don't need to go see Madam Pomfrey?"
"Yes, why?"
"So you forgot that we decided to TRY to get along since we are prefects?"
"Yeah, I did."
"Ok we're going to see Madam Pomfrey right now."
"But Malfoy, I don't need to."
"Well I say different. Let's go."
"Ok tell me something first."
"What?"
"What is today's date?"
"December 12,1996. Why?"
"No reason. Just forgot. Oh and by the way I am not going to see Pomfrey."
"Bet me and lose."
Next thing I know fighting him to put me down. He freaking carried me to her office.
"Madam Pomfrey," he knocked gently on the door to her office in the Infirmary.
"Yes, Mr. Malfoy? Oh, hello Miss Granger."
"I believe someone has tampered with Hermione's memories, could you check it out for me?"
"Yes, but do to that I need to give Miss Granger a dreamless sleeping draught. Is that ok Hermione?"
"Yes, he wouldn't have let me out of here unless I said yes anyways."
"Damn, right I wouldn't have" Draco said with a smirk.
"Alright deary, just go grab a bed and take this draught. Mr. Malfoy make sure she takes it."
"Not a problem Madam Pomfrey"
"Miss Granger I'll check your memories in the morning, the draught will keep you asleep until about 2:30 tomorrow. That is when you can come back to see her Mr. Malfoy."
"Good night Madam Pomfrey," we said together.
"Alright Granger take this and get in that bed."
"Yes Sir…"
"This will make you go to sleep in 5 minutes, so I'll just sit here until you fall fast asleep."
"Ok."
Five minutes later and I'm just at the edge of being entirely asleep but can still hear a little.
"God you're so beautiful." Draco whispered. He must have thought I was asleep. Still it doesn't matter, why did he say that?
'That's when I woke up. And the strangest thing about it I could feel myself smiling, yet still terrified at the same time. Strange dream huh? Well my friend, I am going to the beach I'll write more to you when something eventful happens.'
'Well my summer was uneventful. Saw Harry and the Weasley family in Diagon Alley. Got my new robes, school supplies, and some play toys for Crookshanks. Oh and I got a letter from Dumbledore:'
Dear Miss Granger,
I would like to inform you that you would again be the prefect for the House of Gryffindor. Congratulations. Also, as Augustus Bradley of Slytherin and Justine Wilson of Hufflepuff graduated last year new students must be chosen to represent those houses. So the Professors and I agreed upon Draco Malfoy to represent Slytherin and Nate Touse to represent Hufflepuff. And Cho Chang has become Head Girl while Andrew Wolf your fellow Gryffindor has become Head Boy. Miss Bedeau will continue as prefect for Ravenclaw. We wanted you to be aware of the changes before the term started so you can start conversing with the new prefects. You will be meeting with Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Touse, and Miss Bedeau on August 29th at 12, noon; at the Leaky Cauldron to all get acquainted.
Sincerely,
Professor Dumbledore
Headmaster
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry'Well I guess that is eventful. Malfoy a prefect? Wait. That sounds familiar. That dream I had! No, that can't have anything to do with it, can it? It was nothing it was just a stupid dream. Ugh. Now I have to go back to London. At least I get to see Nate and Valeria that is good. I wonder how they responded to Draco being chosen for prefect.'
'August 29th. The day I have been dreading. So I am in the car right now with my parents to meet up with my fellow prefects for a lunch meeting. I am excited to see Nate though. It has been too long. I mean we owled all the time this holiday but it still isn't the same. Well we're here. To be continued…''
"Oh my God Valeria, it's been too long. How have you been?" The girls had arrived before the boys so they started chatting about their girly summers and what not.
"I've been good darling just relaxing on the beach in the our summer villa in Italy. But look at you all tan and is that tone I see under that shirt? And oh my look at your hair. You've been using the Sleekeazy's potion haven't you? And are those ginger highlights I see? Well, well, well some one had a transformation this summer. Come on gimme a twirl."
"Ok, ok. But I mean look at you. You look gorgeous! My little Arabian princess and not to mention there is two of you. You cut your hair, which by the way is absolutely adorable! I am loving it. You are so lucky you have a villa in Terracina. I have always wanted to go there, Italy as a whole I mean, but a beachside wouldn't be too bad. We just have a condo in Nice. I am so sick of France let me tell you. Wanna trade places next summer?"
"Sure. I'm sick of Italy. It is so boring. But I have been going there every summer since I was 5."
"Same with me and since you're here I am guessing that you got the letter from Dumbledore. What do you think of the new prefects?"
"Well I know that you and Nate we're dating so you are absolutely giddy."
'Smirk '
"But I think that Draco is going to be the biggest bloody pain in my … Oh, hello boys!"
Hermione whipped around in chair to see two young gentlemen behind her. Nate looked absolutely amazing. His crystal blue eyes looking like a never-ending perfect blue ocean. God he was so gorgeous. Especially with that shaggy jet-black hair of his, just slightly covering his eyes. Mmmmm, scrumptious. Then next to him there stood the foulest student of Hogwarts. Malfoy. The Draco Malfoy. Standing there thinking he is "King of the World and all must bow down to him."
'Ugh, gag me with a spoon. His eyes do look nice though. I never really paid attention to them… Hermione stop that he is the lowest being on the earth don't compliment his eyes even if they are absolutely gorgeous. Oh. My. God. Stop. It! Besides Nate's eyes are way better. Absolutely better.'
"Hello boys."
"Hi Girls," Nate said. Draco stood there for a moment.
"Girls." He politely nodded.
Nate had sat between Hermione and Valeria on one side and Draco on the other. Nate had leaned over and gave Hermione a peck on the cheek.
'Is it their goal in life to make me want to puke? That was absolutely disgusting. I hate PDA. They can keep that behind closed doors. Mudbloods, I swear. But now that she has tamed that hair she doesn't look half bad. Ok. Draco pull yourself together she is a mudblood, a filthy little mudblood. Which is next to a rat, which have fleas and there are ameobas on fleas on rats. Gross.'
"So how has everyone's summers been?" Nate asked.
"Uneventful," said Hermione and Valeria together.
"Well at least I had some fun this summer. Quidditch, in the new pitch Dad bought me, and a new broom to break in. But other than that I didn't do much besides go to Austria, Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland and the Greek Isles. Which all have a Manor as a minimum requirement. Most have stables though."
'Oh God here he goes. On a stupid rant on everything the Malfoy's have. This is going to be an unbearable year. I can just see it now.'
After about 5 more minutes describing the Manors. Draco had shut up. Finally.
"So Hermione it looks you worked out this summer what did you do to get so toned?" Valeria asked. Hermione had glared at her for mentioning her reformed body.
'Valeria Bedeau you will die tonight by my own hands for mentioning anything.'
"Surfed, ran, and stayed away from sugar quills and pumpkin pasties."
"You can surf?" Nate asked. Being a muggleborn himself he knew what surfing was. The other two though had a quizzical look on their faces wondering what the bloddy hell surfing is.
"Yeah, I learned last summer."
"Umm, for us of noble pure blood over here. What the hell is surfing?"
'Stupid freaking Malfoy.'
After trying to explain for about 10 minutes what surfing was Valeria and Draco had finally gotten it.
"So you stand on a special board on the top of a wave in the ocean and just wait until you fall off? Well that sounds pretty boring." Something only a Malfoy would say.
"I think it sounds like fun. I'll have to learn next summer when Hermione and I trade holiday locations."
"Huh?" Nate had said.
"Well Hermione is sick of going to Nice in the summer and quite frankly I am sick of Terracina." Valeria had answered.
"I see. And when may I ask did you decide this?"
"Oh, just about five minutes ago. Right before you boys got here."
'Terracina. It sounds so beautiful. I guess I am going to have to study Italian. Yay! Something absolutely new, with books, books galore. I am so excited. Now how to tell our parents? Hmm…'
So the rest of their little lunch meeting went well. Nothing eventful, just talked of plans for the school year and such. Draco talked about all his nonsense for quite a while which the other three politely ignored. Otherwise things went well they decided that they should mention to Cho and Andrew about having a Halloween or Valentine's Day ball. Thinking it would be something fun to plan and to look forward to besides the Yule Ball. Which was more formal. They thought something fun and informal would be a good time.
