P.S please read Harry Potter a means to an end! It is a really good fanfic I am following.

Malfoy Manor 17th of August 2 weeks prior of return to Hogwarts.

BAM! A 17 year old Draco Malfoy lazily rolled out of bed exposing his golden torso, rolling his stunning grey eyes as a he witnessed a grey barn owl crash into his bedroom window holding his Hogwarts supply list. Outstretching his hand after opening the window he grabbed an unusually dense envelope as the bird flew back out the window. Draco clasped the window shut not wanting to let to much cold air in. He walked over to his desk and emptied his envelope with a loud thump as a shiny silver and green badge with the letters HB in scripted. Apparently Draco Malfoy was 'Head Boy'...

The Burrow…

The Weasley family plus Hermione and Harry were darting up and down and throughout the hallways of the Burrow searching for Hermione's Gold and red badge with the letters HG inscribed apparently Hermione Granger had "Misplaced" her newly appointed 'Head Girl' badge.

1st of September-

Platform 9 3/4 was occupied by the strangest of the sought, Black billowing wizarding robes in every direction, hundreds of owls over head searching for their owners and many young witches and wizards biding farewell to their parents as they departed to Hogwarts to study the practice of magic.

As the Weasley's, Harry and Hermione bounded through the barrier of platform 9 3/4 they all sighed with relief as they saw the crimson red Hogwarts express awaiting for departure. For Harry and Hermione they where going home.

"Hermione, Hermione! Don't forget your lunch dear." Chastised Mrs Weasley as she turned to lecture the rest of the Weasleys and Harry.

"Thankyou Mrs Weasley" sighed Hermione. As much as she loved Mrs Weasley and her family she couldn't wait to be free of the Burrow and all its perks after the incident of "misplacing" her Head Girl badge and recovering it from Kreachers den. (The Weasleys newly appointed house elf.)

His steel grey eyes seemed to be searching for something.

"What is it Drakie?" Pansy questioned in a falsely seductive voice resting her head on his shoulder.

"Nothing that would concern the likes of you Pansy" he replied with his all so famous smirk playing its way across his face.

As Pansy stood pouting over Draco's remarks he still continued his search for the Head Girl. Over the summer Draco had come to the agreement that whoever was head girl he was going to make and effort to be civilised seeing as they had to share a common room and a bathroom together.

Then something or more someone caught his eye. She had sleek brown hair with a slightly blonde tinge. Draco had always agreed that real woman have curves and this girl had curves in all the right places. Unlike the Sytherine whores who's bodies may as well have been synthetic with the amount of plastic pumped into them. He had to know the name of this divine beauty… he had only witnessed her from behind. Would he be able to recognise her again?

'Of course I will' Draco thought to himself 'how could I forget an ass like that?' Snickering at the crude conversation taking place in his head, he made his way to the Heads cabin leaving Pansy in his wake.

"Come on guys" said Harry to Ron, Hermione and Ginny, after saying good bye to Mrs Weasley" lets go find a carriage before they are all taken."

"Ahhhhhhhhhh about that Harry" said Hermione "I have to go to the head birth birth and get briefed on my duties and Gin here has to go to the prefect's birth and do the same."

"Oh! All right then" said Harry slightly crestfallen. "Well you don't want to be late for the first day on the job then" he replied shuffling them off.

'He really has changed over the summer' she said to herself as she retreated with Ginny to their new carriages.

'His green eyes seem more determined and sturdy and quiditch has done wonders for his body standing 6.4 with a well muscle toned chest and broad shoulders.' After pondering on this for a while her thoughts came upon Ginny as she thought of how lucky she was to have his love. Genuinely Hermione felt nothing of lust towards Harry but pondered on how blessed she was to have him and Ron as brothers.

"See you later" said Hermione to Ginny after she was pulled in to the prefects carriage.

"Bye" said Ginny breathlessly as she stumbled into the door on her left.

"Oh no!" groaned Malfoy. "Red and Gold. Gryffindor!"

"Put it behind you Draco you've changed remember you don't put up with your father anymore your mother has to stay strong, Volomorts stronger as ever, and you are falling apart at the mere sight of the Gryffindor colours. NO! Its not he colours he retaliated back in his head it means I will have to share a bathroom with a Gryffindor."

Then once again her saw her well the behind of her walk past his cabin he slid open the doors and pulled her into the carriage. He needed to know her name.

"Granger?" he whispered under his breathe. He looked into her Mahogany brown eyes but saw nothing but utter confusion.

"Malfoy why are we whispering?" Hermione said trying to suppress a giggle. Apparently Hermione came to the agreement with her self that Malfoy had finally cracked and that is why he was looking at her as if he was trying to decode her pupils, with a hint of lust in his eyes.

Malfoy snapped back to reality and realised he had been gawking at Hermione for sometime now. "Your Head Girl are you not?" he stated as if he was accusing her of something.

"Yes and I think it is safe to say that you are Head Boy and that this is the Heads compartment."

"You're a quick one of the block aren't you Hermione" Draco drooled with a hint of sarcasm.

"You just called me Hermione not Granger, Mudblood or any other crude names, why?"

"Ummm, well I figured that seeing as we will be living together this year I thought maybe we could put the past behind us an be civilised to each other." And at that moment Draco vowed never to call her Mudblood intentionally again.

"Does that mean you will not call me Mudblood than?" she questioned.

"Yes, Gra-Hermione I will not call you Mudblood."

Hermione had no idea if Malfoy was playing a joke on her or had he really changed over the summer. Hopping it was the second one she grabbed his outstretched hand and wearily shook it.

After that they sat down in their seats and only then did Hermione start to notice Draco to his full extent Body wise. His steel grey eyes seemed to be debating on whether they should betray him and become sky blue. And Just like Harry from what she could see he had filled out with muscles and brood shoulders. His platinum blond hair was no longer gelled back but hung loosely over his eyes and slightly ruffled at the back. Hermione could not help think it made him look sexy. Just as her eyes started to trace the light bruise under his left eye running down his jaw line the heads compartment door flew open revealing….

Love RinnyluvsNeville

Lavender and Parvati where standing in the door way with huge smiles plastered across their faces.

"hermionehermioneohmygodhaveyouseendracoheissosexyandyougettoshareabathroomwithhimyouluckybitch" Parvati finished in one breathe. Then looking across the room she noticed Draco siting comfortably in his chair with a smug expression across his face looking across at Hermione waiting for her reply.

When Lavender took in the scene unfolding in front of her she pulled Parvati into the Hallway and they burst into a fit of giggles all the way back to their compartments.

There did you like that I wanted to put it in the first chapter but I like cliff hangers thanks for posting

Love rinny

When they both heard the door shut Hermione looked up from her lap to see an also familiar smirk make its way upon Draco's face.

"What?" she snapped slightly annoyed at his arrogance.

"You're not like other girls are you Hermione?"

Hermione looked questionably up at him.

'What do you mean?'

"You just saw the way those girls were gushing over the thought of sharing a bathroom with me. Did you not?

'Yeah but those girls are tarts and if being normal is being a tart I would much rather be different.'

'Don't think I haven't noticed you looking at me, just now. No girl has ever looked at me the way you do. Taking in every detail and perk as if you were reading a book. But I guess it all comes with the trait of being a'- Hermione held her breathe waiting for him to call her a Mudblood. 'Book worm and all.'- she exhaled slightly at the word bookworm, turning slightly pink.

Hermione became unbearably uncomfortable with the subject at hand so she decided to steer it towards him.

"Where did you get that bruise from Draco?"

She said running her hand down the side of his face tracing his bruise- but not touching him.

Draco seemed to be in a state of Limbo. Hermione Granger was actually going to tough him without hesitation, he held his breathe. But when she only seemed to motion towards him he drifted further away. She smells like frangipanis and her hands are so placid and welcoming.

"Draco! I asked you a question. Are you going to answer it or are you going to sit there and hold your breathe until you turn blue?"

At this moment Draco exhaled slightly and looked into her coco brown eyes showing annoyance and slight amusement.

'Quick Draco, think what did she just ask you? Something about a bruise. Draco instantly lifted his hand and traced the bruise on his cheek. He knew perfectly well where he acquired it. His father had tried beating his mother again last night. He had stepped in

Flashback

You will pay for this boy! you and your mother. You are going back to school tomorrow and there will be no one to save her when she gets on my nerves.

End of flashback.

That night Draco had received the worst bashing he had ever gotten.

But he wasn't about to tell Hermione this he would just have to make something up.

"Ummm. I got hit by a bludger whilst practising quiditch." He replied hastily.

Hermione not entirely believing what he had just told her nodded her head. And started focusing her attention on the green paddocks or more green blurs out side her window.

About five minuets of silence went by when for the second time Lavender and Parvati burst in.

"Headmaster McGonagall wishes to see you with the prefect in their carriage." They stated together falling into a fit of giggles.

"thanks" said Hermione as she and Draco stood up to go to the prefect's carriage. But Parvati and Lavender where blocking the door.

"If that was the entire message I think you can leave now."

"Oh! But we haven't finished our messages yet." Lavender replied with a fiery mischievous look in her eyes.

"Well hurry up" said Draco quite eager to get out of the awkward situation.

'Hermione' said Parvati turning towards her and Lavender did to Draco.

"Harry said to say he heard that Malfoy was Head Boy and if he lays a hand one hand on you our takes to much room with his cosmetics in the bathroom or any thing to hurt you or disrupt your learning. He will snap him! Snap him in two that is." said Parvati motioning with her hands like a wood cutter.

"Draco" said Lavender

"Pansy and Blaise said to say-"

She put a scrunched up look on her face and started battering her eyelashes.

"- tell Drakie that he shouldn't have to sit with that filthy Mudblood any longer than he has to. He should come sit with us purebloods in our carriage.

"And then Blaise said. Ahhhh! Don't be like that Pans. Hey ask Drake if he has seen Granger yet? She is Fing hot this year. And that was it said Lavender as she and Parvati together winking at Hermione.

Draco and Hermione stood staring at them walking down the isles.

'So why haven't you gone to sit with your "Pureblood" friends yet'? She asked.

"Pansy's a Slytherine whore who likes to think she is my girlfriend when we broke up in 5th year and besides sitting in her is way more interesting with those two popping in every 5 mins. And you herd Blaise he doesn't care where I sit and if he did he would probably say sit with you because you're hot!"

Hermione's mind was buzzing. Blaise Zambini thinks I'm hot! Wow a pureblood Slytherine thinks a Mudblood Gryffindor is hot. But wait does that me Draco thinks I am hot. "Oh dear!" She muttered slightly going red at the thought. As they made there way to the prefects cabin.

"Oh man!" why did Blaise have to say that? He knows I've had a crush on her since 5th year. And now she is gonna think. Well I don't know exactly what she is gonna think but whatever it is it can't be good.

"Draco?" does Blaise really think I'm hot don't get me wrong. I don't know him that well but that's kinda creepy." Listen to yourself Hermione you can't ask Draco that just because Blaise thinks your hot doesn't mean he likes me because you sure as hell don't.

Draco and Hermione entered the prefect's cabin side by side. All eyes where on them.

Getting slightly annoyed at them all staring at them Draco snapped. "What do we have some sought of grotesque body parts growing out of our heads or something?

"No. not that I can see," they all replied.

"Then why are you staring at us?"

"Well to be honest" said Ginny. "its not everyday you see sworn enemies for 6 years in the same room next to each other not trying to bit each others heads off. And you have been alone for quite some time and yet you have nothing growing out of your heads."

At these words they slowly drifted apart and took their seats on opposite sides of the room.

"Just because we don't like each other it doesn't mean we can't be civilised after all we have to live together for a whole year."

Ginny nodded her head in agreement with their statement and muttered "about time too!"

"Well were is the Headmaster she called this meeting and she isn't even here!" said a Hufflepuff prefect.

'All in good time Mr Adams, patience is the key to any succersorie." Chanted Headmaster McGonagall as she whisked through the open door.

"Hello professor" many chanted.

Welcome to all this year. I rust your journey has been eventful for most. The prefects eyed each other with smirks. Whilst Hermione and Draco where snug in their private cabin the prefects kept themselves entertained by giving their own theories of what the two supposed enemies where up to.

"Fine, pleasant, splendid.' They all replied

"Well today I am not only here to hand out your duties for this year. I am afraid I have to place a heavy burden on your shoulders. With the unfortunate death of Dumbledore could not have come a worse off time. To put it simply the school is in havoc. We have no choose but to upgrade your duties. Meaning you will be able to give detentions, dock points, add points and patrol corridors at any hours that last one only occurs to the head boy and girl."

Hermione sat stunned at what she was hearing.

"The Head Boy and Girl will act as relief teachers for the younger grades in transfiguration and the Prefects will be also sharing a common room. Now if that is all, yes I think it is. I will leave you to ponder on your own thoughts and a roster of patrols will be placed in your common room board." And with that she left.

Draco and Hermione where back in their Heads compartment discussing what they would have to teach in their relief transfiguration classes. When a familiar voice rang through the train. 'We will arrive at Hogwarts in one hour."

"I guess we better get changed then" said Hermione

Draco held his breathe (they often do that around each other.)

"Be back in a minuet" she said leaving the cabin with her robes in her arms.

"Draco. Draco, Draco did you actually think she was going to get changed in front of you, I mean Jeez she is not a Slytherine"

Said a familiar sneer from the doorway.

"Watcha doing here Blaise" Draco spat.

" Just come to see how my favourite head boy is going and besides I needed to get changed somewhere, Pansy wanted me to change in her compartment but I was afraid if I did she would think something of it." He replied dryly.

"Anyway as I was saying. How fucking hot is Granger this year?"

"She is Gorgeous" he replied under his breathe

"Sorry Drake I didn't here that I was dreaming of her shouting out my name in my four-poster if you get what I mean.'

"I said she is Hot and I get what you mean. Now can we get changed?

"Yeah all right man!"

As they started to pull on their school robes the door slid open Hermione standing there.

Draco with only his bottom half of his uniform on and his torso exposed with all its glory.

After an awkward moment Hermione started to back out of the cabin to wait in the hallway.

"Sorry about that Draco" she replied sheepishly.

"Don't I get an apology too or is it okay to see me naked but not Drake?" Blaise shouted angrily.

"oh! Sorry Zambini I didn't even see you there." That's when she noticed he was only wearing a pair of silk bowers.

"That's ok I guess I will be leaving then if you don't appreciate my body you can just have my buddy Drake here he is more man than I will ever be." He joked/shouted and left with a wink and a smirk at Draco.

"Well that was-eventful said Draco

No I was going to say unexpected but yours works too.

"Now please Draco put some clothes on before you start shouting at me too." she said with her eyes tightly shut.

Draco smirked at the idea and pulled the rest of his robes on.

"Thankyou!" she said opening her eyes ever so slowly

"Come on lets go check the ickle little first years and make sure they have all changed." Said Draco

"Well I must say that was very unexpected, I mean you taking charge and all." Said Hermione slightly a taken back at his initiative.

"Well however was to say Malfoys don't take matters into their own hands was clearly mistaken." He replied with a cheeky smile on his face.

At these words they left the carriage to check on the first years.

The Giant Squid…

"First years this way. First years this way please."

Hermione and Draco looked over the heads of the first years to see Hagrid and Fang standing near a fleet of little wooden boats floating in the lake.

Hermione's heart was elated "Hagrid" she rasped and started sprinting towards him closely followed by Ron and Harry who were also excited to see him. The Golden trio embraced Hagrid in a hug as Fang slobbered all over them.

Draco watched by afar as the Golden trio embraced their life long friend. He could no help but feel a hint of jealousy when he saw the love they shared. As the trio broke apart and bid farewell than and only then did Draco approach Hermione.

"Where do you think your going?"

"To get a carriage, are you coming?" she replied

"No thanks why would I want to get a carriage when I could sail over the lake in a rickety old boat that would probably sink under my weight let alone the both of us?"

"Oh and about the part we have to help Hagrid with the first years over the lake. We are the lookouts for the giant squid."

"You can't be serious Malfoy; there is no way I am getting in one of those things with you of all people."

"So their backs to last names now are we Granger?"

"It's not like that its just-oh my god what is that?"

Draco spun around to see a ripple in the water. "You're paranoid Hermione it's probably a tide change or something, now come on and get in the boat."

"No you can't make me!" She huffed.

"I can try though" he said as he grabbed her by the arms and pinned them to her body lifting her into the boat."

"You're staying Hermione and that's finale. Now sit back down and keep an eye out for the squid."

Every minute of so Hermione would make a squealing noise and point to another ripple in the water, but something was out of place when Draco heard a shriek of hysteria replacing Hermione's usual squeal. He looked over to were Hermione was sitting or more kneeling she had a pointed finger shaking wearily towards a large ripple in the water, with faint swirls of colour beneath the waters surface.

"Good you found it" he replied casually pulling to her feat which caused the rather small boat to rock dangerously under their weight.

"GOOD! GOOD! NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OF THIS!" she shouted shrieked.

"Well if you haven't noticed we have left Hagrid and the first year's miles behind us."

'Its true' Hermione thought to herself looking around 'they are no were in sight.'

"What are we doing here Malfoy?" Hermione whined "And what's it got to do with it?" her voice taking on a more anxious tone pointing towards the squid again.

"First of all 'its' name is Eupendi and second of all, don't you read Granger? You are the smartest witch of your age and you don't know the schools longest running tradition."

"Well I don't know what your talking about, if it's the schools longest (well I don't know exactly what it is yet) than I would have read it in Hogwarts A History and I haven't read it so that makes this whole idea absurd."

"Hermione, Hermione, Hermione haven't you ever herd of the word sequel? He asked

"Hogwarts A History 2" he snapped getting annoyed at her arrogance.

"well that's absurd, the school library does not have the sequel, and in fact there was never I sequel that I know of."

"Are you dearly mistaken Hermione? Three word 'Malfoy Manor Library'"

Hermione gaped at him

"Well we better get started then before the first years show up."

"You still haven't stated what exactly it is we are doing."

"I think its best to keep it that way"

'I demand-' Draco cast a nonverbal bubble head spell on her and then himself before he jumped into the lake pulling Hermione with him towards the haze of assorted colours.
