Chapter One: Letters
It was around the end of august and Hogwarts would be starting back up in about three weeks. Hermione, Ron, and Harry are entering their seventh and final year at Hogwarts, their home away from home.
Hermione was lying out in the back yard of her house waiting for a owl from Ron or Harry or both of them in the same letter, which they have done several times. Harry was spending the summer with Ron, and the Weasley family was taking a family vacation to America, the only country that they haven't visited yet. Hermione of course was busy and couldn't go with the to America even though she would have loved to. Like every other day, since she had finished her homework the first week in July, spent her time waiting for an owl from her two best friends and the school supplies list to come so she could go and shop for her supplies. Hermione stared into the sky looking for shapes in the clouds when a grey owl suddenly landed on her stomach. Hermione raised her head from the ground and stared at the owl for a moment before realizing that it was a school owl let alone that it was an owl that had landed on her stomach. The owl jumped off allowing Hermione to get up. It lifted up it's left leg to reveal that there was a thick looking letter attached to it. Hermione took the letter and gave the bird some of her cookie that her mother made earlier. As soon as the bird finished its part of the cookie it flew off into the sky. Hermione quickly turned the letter over and opened it not noticing that it was sealed with the Hogwarts crest. She pulled out the letter from inside unfolded it and read it.
"Dear Ms. Granger,
I am very pleased to inform you that you have been made head girl this year because of your ability to work well with others and the high scores that you have achieved while you have been with us here at Hogwarts. After dinner is over I wont you to come immediately to my office so that I can tell you where your room is, what the password is and you will meet who the new head boy will be. Congratulations Ms. Granger I do believe that we will be seeing great things from you this year.
Sincerely,
Professor McGonagal"
"Oh my god." Hermione whispered to her self as she took out the head girl badge from inside the envelope. Hermione then sprang to her feet and rushed in to tell her mum and dad.
Draco rolled over covering his head with his pillow desperately trying to block out the annoying tapping that seemed to be coming from all around the room. He finally opened his eyes to put a stop to it when he saw that it was just an owl trying to deliver him some mail. "Who would be sending me mail? Well, besides Pansy but I don't return her letters anyway." Draco thought as he got and opened his window allowing the owl in. It flew over to his bed and held out a leg to show that it had a letter for him. It most certainly didn't look like Pansy's owl so he took the letter and turned it over to see the Hogwarts crest on the back. "Are they sending the school supplies early?" Draco thought as he opened the letter and pulled out the folded up parchment that was in side.
"Mr. Malfoy,
I am pleased to inform you that you have been named this year's head boy at Hogwarts. I hope that you will accept this because you are one of the most clever students Hogwarts has seen for a while. Send us an owl after you read this telling us whether or not you want this role at school. We didn't need to ask the head girl because it's obvious that she would say yes. If you accept after dinner please come to Professor McGonagal's office to meet the head girl and to get the password and location of your new rooms.
Professor Snape"
Draco reread the letter many times before letting it sink in that he was chosen to be this year's head boy. "Wow. They chose me. Do I want this or not? That is a good question. What the hay I'll write back saying that I accept." Draco thought as he put the paper down on his desk and turned to see that the owl was still there.
"I guess you wont leave until I send the letter now aren't you." He said to the owl as he turned again and sat down on his desk to start writing his letter. He was soon finished and gave the owl some water and food then sent it on it's way back to Hogwarts with his letter.
"Mum! Dad!" Hermione yelled as she ran in the back door and into the kitchen desperately looking for her parents. "MUM!! DAD!!" She called again as she walked out of the kitchen.
"Up here dear." Her mother called from upstairs. Hermione quickly ran up the stairs two by two and burst into her parent's room. Hermione was so excited that she just burst out laughing. When she finally calmed herself down she held out the letter and badge.
"I am this years head girl! I just found out isn't this great!" Hermione exclaimed happily as she sat down next to her mum on the bed. When her mother finally finished reading the letter she handed it over to her husband and gave Hermione a hug.
"I am so proud of you sweetie. Now tonight why don't we all go out call over Raven and Joey and we will go to the restaurant of your choice sound good?" Her mum said as she pulled away. Her mum then beamed at her "Why don't you go and owl Joey and Raven I'm sure they'll be just as happy as we are." Her dad said as he handed back the letter and badge. He gave her a hug and Hermione rushed out of their room and into her room (A/N: Just so you know Raven and Joey are Hermione's aunt and uncle.). Hermione opened her door to see a snowy owl sitting on her bed with a letter tied to her leg.
"Hey Hedwig! I see you have brought me news about Harry and Ron." Hermione said happily as she started to look through her desk draws for a piece of parchment and her quill. Over the summer Hermione had changed a lot. There were posters of dragons all over her walls and her bookcase was full of not just her school books but books on dragons too. There were also small and large peiuter dragons scattered around the room. Hermione finally found a piece of parchment and her quill before she turned around and walked back to Hedwig and took the letter from her and opened it.
"Hey Hermione! Sorry we haven't written in a while it's just that it's so amazing here! I hope your summer is going well. It's just not the same without you to keep us out of trouble here. (The handwriting changed into the very messy handwriting of Ron) We are in Arizona right now you should be here! This place is so beautiful! Well, any way we were visiting the Grand Canyon and Harry and me almost fell in! Luckily Fred and George caught us! (The handwriting turned back to the slightly messy handwriting of Harry again.) Yeah Ron's just still really um how do I put this so I don't hurt Ron um. I guess you could say that he's still jumpy from what happened even thought it happened. Well, it happened around 2:00 and now it's 7:00 so lets just say several hours ago. I think I have to end this letter before Ron takes over and start to put it in real detail. Miss you lots!
Harry and Ron"
Hermione smiled as she read this and shook her head. "Boys will be boys," She thought as she started to write her letter in return to his and to tell him about her becoming head girl.
As Draco finished writing his letter to Snape his ghost butler Hamilton floated in with a tray that had a bloody Mary on it. Draco looked up but quickly put a hand to his fore head as a flash of pain rushed through his head causing him to sit down.
"There is nothing in he wizerding world that can cure a hangover young master Malfoy. You know that perfectly well." Said the butler as if reading his mind. "You shouldn't go out all night drinking if you know what will happen in the morning." Hamilton continued as he placed the drink next to Draco's head that was now on the desk with his arms over it. Hamilton sighed and floated away out of the room. After a few moments he turned his head to look at the bloody Mary sitting next to him and picked it up, He then got up and walked over to his window taking small sips as he walked. "Why can't there be something to cure bloody hangovers? Sigh. Well bottoms up." Draco thought to himself taking a large sip of the drink then scrunching his nose in disgust at it.
He finished the bloody Mary and placed the empty cup on his windowsill. He then sat down on his bed and put his head in his hands. As soon as he did this, another annoying tapping sound filled the room. Draco groaned loudly as he saw another owl hovering outside his window. He got up and opened the window; the owl dropped its letter then swooped back out. He opened the letter to see the school supply list. "Good now I'll have something to do tomorrow." Draco thought as he placed the list down and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
"Hermione Shannon Granger!" Mrs. Granger yelled (A/N: yes I changed it from Elizabeth) as she stood at the foot of the stairs. It was the day after Hermione had gotten her head girl news and later that day had gotten her school supplies list.
"I'm coming! I just can't fine the shirt I'm going to wear I put it out last night but now I can't find it!" Hermione called from her room as she searched franticly around for her shirt. Hermione was wearing jeans and was looking for her black tank top that had a white dragon on it which seemed to have disappeared over night. She also had a dragon belly button ring. She was now standing on her bed looking around her room.
"Hermione! If you want to get there on time to meet Harry and Ron just pick another shirt!" Her mother yelled growing very impatient now.
"No! Wait I just found it!" Hermione called jumping off her bed and pulling the shirt over her head. She then ran down the stairs and put her sneakers on and walked out the door to her new car that seemed to be waiting for her just outside the driveway. "Let's take my car. I'll drive." Hermione said to her mum as she ran over to her car and opened the door. Her mum ran over and got in the passenger's seat and put on her seat belt. Hermione smiled and started the car and took off to Diagon Ally.
"Hey Harry! Hey Ron!" Hermione called as she ran up to meet her two best friends who look slightly tanner then before they left. Hermione gave them both a hug before she turned to her mum.
"So you can pick me up at five ok?" Hermione asked and her mum nodded. "Good see you then love you." Hermione continued giving her mum a hug and turning with Ron and Harry and walked up the stairs to Gringots.
"So where to first?" Harry asked as they were now walking down the busy street of Diagon Ally.
"Lets go to Flourish and Blotts." Hermione suggested, Harry nodded in agreement and Ron since he was now out numbered followed them into the store. Hermione looked down at her book list and started to walk in the direction of the potions section when she bumped into someone.
"Well, well, well, who do you we have here?" Draco sneered at her as she looked up.
"Bug off Malfoy I'm in no mood for your crap today." Hermione said fiercely glaring up at him.
"This is interesting. A mudblood telling me off my, my, I'm so scared. I'm shaking in my knickers." Draco sneered pretending to be scared.
"I though Hermione told you to bug off?" Ron said angrily now standing beside Hermione his hands in fists.
"Ron don't." Hermione said looking over at him.
"Oh what's this? Weasel sticking up for little mudblood Granger. How sweet." Malfoy said rolling his eyes. Ron was about to raise his arm to punch Draco when Hermione put a hand on his arm and pulled him away.
"What you do that for?" Ron asked when she stopped in the potions section of the store running a finger along the book titles looking for the potions book.
"Because. Now where did Harry go off to?" Hermione asked pulling out Magical Drafts and Potions by Arsenius Jigger.
"He's over there by the divination section." Ron said still angry the she pulled him away.
"Thanks. Now, here this is on our list and I believe that you should join Harry and get your Divination books." Hermione said handing Ron a copy of Magical Drafts and Potions and walking towards the Muggle Studies section. Ron sighed and walked over to Harry.
"Hey Harry." Ron said standing besides his as Harry was looking through the many books on Divination.
"Hey mate." Harry said looking over at Ron smiling but his smile turned into a frown as he saw the expression on his face. "What's up?" Harry asked standing up now frown him crouched position.
"It's Hermione. She's acting different then she usually does. Malfoy started to tease her I stepped in and she pulled me out of it before I could try and defend her. She doesn't seem that friendly today either." Ron said looking at the floor.
"Well, I don't think that it's not odd of her to pull you out of a fight with Malfoy she does that a lot. She's probably just tired that's all." Harry said with a shrug kneeling down again to look for his book. Ron sighed and shrugged it off and crouched beside Harry looking for the same book.
Hermione was scanning the Muggle Studies books looking for the right book when she felt someone run a hand down her out stretched arm that she was using to look for the book. Hermione closed her eyes for a moment knowing who it was.
"I thought I told you that I wasn't in he mood for your crap today Malfoy." She said coldly turning around. She didn't know how close he had been to her until she turned. She was practically pinned against the bookshelf.
"You might have said that but I am in the mood to give you my crap." Malfoy said smoothly pinning her tightly against the bookshelf. "I thought you might know better then to say something rude like that to me. Because you know that I can do practically anything I want here. So if you do something to me that I don't like then you should watch your back." Malfoy continued pushing all of his weight against her. Hermione looked around then mentally slapped her self. It was a very stupid to be in the most unlooked part of the store when your worst enemy was there as well.
"I'm not scared of you ferret boy Malfoy. If I were you I would be the one who was watching there back. I can be a very dangerous person if I want to." Hermione said menacingly leaning her head forward slightly. "I changed over the summer. I'm a very different person from who I used to be before. I said good bye to the goody-goody bookworm and said hello to a new person." Hermione continued in a smooth silky seductive voice leaning forward even more. Draco was also leaning forward. Their lips were about to touch when Hermione found the book she was looking for pulled it out then pulled a second copy out.
"Here." She said shoving it into his chest catching him off guard making him move away from her. "You might need this for class." She finished walking away from him swaying her hips slightly as she walked to go find Harry and Ron. Draco stared after her in shock.
"Whoa, she was just like me." Draco said to no one in particular as he looked down at the book she gave him. Yes, it was true he did take muggle studies. He only did it because he wanted to be different from his father. The truth was that he was interested by muggles, so he took the course.
Hermione found Harry and Ron the Herbology section looking for the books they needed.
"Hello all!" Hermione said brightly feeling very good about her self after what she just did.
"You're certainly happy us." Ron said smiling. Harry looked over at Hermione and smiled at her. Harry noted to him self that he should tell Ron that it's very obvious that he likes Hermione and should just ask her out if he likes her so much. Hermione gave them both a hug and said.
"Guess what I just did?" she said trying to hide a grin but was failing miserablely.
"What?" Harry and Ron asked in unison.
"I just beet ferret boy Malfoy at his own game." Hermione told them now letting her devilish grin show.
"You didn't!" Harry said laughing at this.
"Oh, but I did. I got him when he tried to tease me in the Muggle Studies section." Hermione said laughing as well at the look on Ron and Harry's faces.
"Good goin' 'Mione!" Ron said smiling at her. Hermione returned his smile and turned to the bookshelf that the boys were looking at. She ran her finger along the spines and pulled out three copies of the book they needed. After about a half hour of gathering all the books they needed they all went to the clerk to pay for them.
"Oh my god! I forgot a book. I'll be right back." Hermione said as they reached the clerk. Harry and Ron nodded to her as she turned and turned back to the clerk. Hermione maid her way to the section that as her favorite. The mystical creachers section. Hermione looked for the book she was looking for, for about 5 minutes. The book was entitled: Dragons: Facts to legends the only book about dragons that she didn't have that was in stock at the store. She owned the rest of them. Hermione hurried to the clerk and paid for her books then went off to find Ron and Harry who seemed to have found their way to Quality Quidditch Supplies.
"Of course." Hermione said to herself as she looked through the window to see them looking at the different broom models. "Thought I might find you guys here." Hermione said as she walked up behind them. They both jumped at her voice not expecting to find her in a Quidditch store.
"So, what's the newest model?" Hermione asked looking up at the broom that they were looking at.
"Firebird." Harry said looking at the beautiful broom before him. "Since when do you care? We thought you didn't really like Quidditch?" Harry asked tarring his eyes from the broom.
"Can't a girl be curious?" Hermione asked still looking at the broom. "And for your information I was thinking about trying out for the team this year." Hermione said raising an eyebrow at Harry. Ron stared at her in disbelief. Harry had a similar expression but he seemed to be happy for her.
"Didn't know you had an interest with Quidditch. I thought you hated flying?" Ron said still with a baffled expression.
"Yes, I can fly. I can fly actually pretty well. And yes I do have an interest with Quidditch. I have for a very long time. So Harry when are try outs?" Hermione said turning her attention to Harry.
"September 10th. Do you have a broom?" Harry said very interested wit this bi change with Hermione. She never seemed to like flying or Quidditch before.
"I have a Nimbus 2005. My mum and dad got it for me last year at Christmas. I just never told you guys that I got a broom. Madam Hooch has been giving me privet lessons in flying ever since second year. I was using a school broom then." Hermione told them. Ron was in a state of shock and Harry was just beaming at her. "Any one want ice cream?" Hermione asked after a few minutes of looking at the Firebird. They walked out of the shop and entered the ice cream parlor down the street.
"Oh, guys, there is something that I forgot to tell you." Hermione said suddenly when they entered the robes shop because Ron had to get new robes. Ron's dad had gotten a raise in the Ministry so now they can afford new things.
"Well, what is it?" Ron asked as he tried to get the attention of one of the witches there.
"I'm not a mudblood! My parents just didn't want to be part of the Wizerding word when Voldermort was in power because my mum was pregnant with me and didn't want to hurt her unborn child. So really I'm a pureblood!" Hermione said happily. Harry and Ron beamed at her happily as well. They knew how important this was for her, now she could tell off ferret boy Malfoy by saying that she wasn't a mudblood.
"That's great! Now Malfoy has nothing he could hold against you." Harry said as Ron disappeared with one of the witches working there for new robes. Hermione and Harry talked about Quidditch, which really surprised Harry because she knew just as much as he did about flying and the teams. They also talked about what spot she wanted to try out for, since they needed to new Beater and 2 new Chasers.
"I think I want to try out for Chaser. Don't think I'd do to well with being a Beater." Hermione said just as Ron came back about a half-hour later with his new robes.
"Great then I'll make sure that we don't get you mixed up. Thought I would be funny watching you being a Beater." Harry said laughing at the mental picture that was forming. Hermione rolled her eyes and hit his arm playfully pretending to be angry.
"E-hem!" Ron said after listening to their conversation for a few minutes.
"Oh! Hey Ron!" Hermione said standing up. Harry also stood up and followed them out of the robe shop.
"So, you were thinking of trying out for the team?" Ron asked after started walking.
"Yeah I was thinking of trying out for chaser. What do you think? Do you think I'm good enough for it?" Hermione asked smiling slightly. Hermione found it hilarious that they were still very surprised. The group hit the other stores that they needed to go to and left for the Leaky Cauldron. It was 5 by the time they got there and Hermione's mum was there waiting in Hermione's car.
"Do you guys want to come for dinner?" Hermione asked as she popped the trunk and started loading in her bags.
"Sure! We just have to tell me mum when we get to your house." Ron said and Harry nodded in agreement.
"All right then! Get in. I'm driving." Hermione said as her mom tossed her the keys and got into the drivers seat. Harry and Ron put their bags in the trunk closed it then got into the back.
"Uhh. are we sure that we can trust you with driving and driving safely?" Harry asked buckling his seatbelt and sending Hermione's mom nervous glances.
"Don't worry boys Hermione is a good safe driver. I taught her myself." Mrs. Granger said looking back at the 2 frightened boys in the back seat.
"If you say so Mrs. Granger." Ron said taking in a deep breath.
"Well, if you all are ready I'm going to start to drive." Hermione said looking at them in the rear view mirror. Hermione then started the car and took off. To Harry and Ron's surprise Hermione was actually a very good driver, much better then them anyways. They arrived at Hermione's house an hour later and headed for her room.
"You're a bloody brilliant driver! Much better then we can anyway." Harry said plopping down on her bed and kicking his shoes off. Hermione shook her head and walked over to the window and opened it and looked down. Hermione's broom was just where she left it outside her window.
"If you'll excuse me." Hermione said climbing out of the window.
"Bloody hell! Hermione!" Harry and Ron yelled as she jumped out of her window. Hermione landed on her broom and flew up so that she was eye level with Harry and Ron who was standing in front of the window staring open mouthed at her.
"Bloody hell Hermione, don't do that again. You scared the hell out of us!" Harry cried when they saw that she was all right. Hermione gave them a devilish smile and took off circling her house high up in the sky then coming straight down and making a lopedy-lope. Ron and Harry watched her in aw. She really was a good flyer almost as good as Harry!
"Wow." Harry and Ron said when she came back to the window and climbed back through taking her broom with her. Hermione smiled and propped her broom against the wall next to her window.
"So, what do you guys think?" Hermione asked sitting down on her bed and kicked her shoes off as well.
"That was bloody brilliant." Ron said stunned by what Hermione did. "You were almost as good as Harry!" Ron cried. He started to run around the room but then tripped over her boom box and fell. Harry and Hermione started to laugh like crazy when he fell upon a pile of pillows that happened to be on the floor in front of her boom box. When Harry calmed down from laughing he looked around the room.
"So, this is the great Hermione Queen of Neat Freaks room. Wow! It's messy!" Harry said starting to laugh again and this time Ron joined him. Hermione glared at them for calling her the Queen of Neat Freaks, they dubbed her that name last year after she went through this weird thing about keeping things neat.
"Hermione, Harry, Ron! Dinners ready!" Mrs. Granger called from the foot of the stairs.
"Ok you two cut it out and I'll show you to the kitchen." Hermione said still glaring at them and walking out of the room.
Hermione, Harry, and Ron arrived at Kings Cross at ten to eleven just in time to catch the train.
"Love you mum I'll see you at Christmas maybe!" Hermione called blowing her mum and dad a kiss before fallowing Harry, and Ron through the barrier on to platform 9 ¾. They found an empty compartment and entered just as the train started to leave. As soon as they bought snacks from the snack from the snack witch they got into a deep conversation on Quidditch training and new tactics for winning the games. Oh to soon it time for Malfoy's yearly visit to make fun of them.
"Well, well what do we have here Mudblood Granger actually talking about Quidditch how interesting. Next thing you know you'll try out for the team!" Malfoy said smirking at her. Hermione stood up and walked very close to him.
"For your information I am trying out for the team and I am a very good flyer Harry seems to agree and he is a much better flyer the you will every be." Hermione spat her lips just barley touching his.
"Oh, look you're actually standing up for your self how wonderful! Now this will just make things easier don't you think?" Malfoy sneered staring into her eyes only to see that she wasn't scared at this remark.
"What makes you think that I'm afraid of you? I never was so what makes you think I'll start now?" Hermione snapped putting a finger on his chest and pushing him away from her.
"We'll see about that." Malfoy sneered looking disgustedly down at her.
"Oh, I'm so scared! Harry! Ron! Come protect me!" Hermione said sarcastically. "Was that supposed to be intimidating because it's not working." Hermione said rolling her eyes at him. "Why don't you just turn around because you're wasting your time here trying to intimidate us as I said before I'm not scared of you so just back off." She said putting her hands on her hips.
"Fine, I'll leave but prepare yourself Granger. This is going to be the worst year of your life." Malfoy said backing towards that door.
"We'll see about that." Hermione said just before he closed the door. Once the door was closed Harry and Ron turned their attention to her.
"Wow. That was very interesting. He didn't even bother with us!" Ron exclaimed starting to dance around the compartment.
"I think he had just met his match don't you think?" Hermione said smiling and sitting down again as they restarted their conversation about Quidditch. The rest of the train ride went smoothly with no other visits from Malfoy. As the train slowed to a stop Hermione was the first out of the compartment. They made their way to the carriages to see that they wouldn't be able to sit together.
"I'll find another one you guys go on ahead." Hermione said starting to walk off to find another carriage. Hermione found an empty one towards the end and got in. A few minutes later the door opened again and Malfoy entered.
"Oh great I have to spend the ride with ferret boy." Hermione said as he sat down next to her.
"Oh come now I'm not that bad am I?" He whispered seductively into her ear. Hermione pushed him away.
"You know you can sit over there." Hermione said pointing to the seats across from her.
"But if I sat over there I wouldn't be able to do this." Malfoy said and with that he kissed her. He forced her mouth open with his tong and sought out her own tong. Hermione tired to pull away but found the she was unfortunately up against the side of the carriage. Hermione had no choice but to go on with it. Malfoy finally pulled away after what seemed like forever for Hermione and Hermione went to wiping her mouth and cursing her self forever doing that.
"What was that for?" Hermione almost yelled as they passed the gates leading into Hogwarts.
"You owed me from in the book shop. You almost kissed me but then didn't so you owed me but now you don't." Malfoy said in a matter-oh-factly voice as he moved to sit across from her. Hermione glared at him and looked out the window. It was only to soon when she felt his hot breath on her shoulder again.
"What do you want now?" Hermione spat not looking at him.
"What is there something wrong with me being here?" He asked not moving.
"Yes there is." Hermione said turning her head a little so that she could see him out of the corner of her eye.
"And what would that be?" He asked still not moving.
"I don't have to tell you." Hermione said simply looking back out of the window.
"C'mon."
"No."
"C'mon tell me!"
"Shut up you prat!"
"Make me!"
"Fine I will." And with that Hermione pulled out her wand and did a silencing charm on him so not matter how loud her yelled her wouldn't make a sound. They arrived at Hogwarts soon after Hermione silenced Draco and was giggling like mad when ever he tried to say something to her but all her could do was mouth out the words and look like a fish trying to breath. When they arrived Hermione got out of the carriage and closed the door in Malfoy's face. He came out two seconds later and tried to yell at Hermione but didn't make a sound. He scowled at her and grabbed her arm looking at her in an expected look on his face.
"You know I like you better like this. It suites you no?" Hermione said patting his cheek. "Bu-bye now." Hermione continued and walked over to where Harry and Ron were standing waiting for her.
"So how was it riding with Ferret boy?" Ron asked as they started to walk up the steps.
"It was quite enjoyable." Hermione said starting to giggle again but then burst out laughing at the looks on Ron and Harry's face. "We got into an argument and I told him to shut it he said make me so I put a silencing charm on him. It was so funny!" Hermione cried, as she laughed harder picturing Malfoy's face as he tried to yell at her. Harry and Ron relaxed and continued walking up to the Great Hall. The sorting ceremony came and went quickly for a change and dinner finally started. Hermione noticed that Harry was staring down the Gryffindor table at a girl the Hermione knew as Heather White, she was a seventh year like all of them, she was also a prefect like Ron.
"Earth to Harry!" Hermione called tossing a piece of bread at him. As soon as the bread came in contact with arm Harry came out of his trance and looked at Hermione.
"Who's that girl?" Harry asked pointing at Heather.
"Ooh! Is Harry starting to like a girl! Our little baby is growing up! Hoe cute!" Hermione said pretending to wipe tears away from her eyes. Harry half-heartedly glared at her but then laughed.
"Her name's Heather White her brother is James White, remember I dated him last year?" Hermione said after she calmed down from laughing.
"Isn't James in Ravenclaw?" Ron asked looking down at the girl named Heather. She was very pretty with her curly auburn hair and light green eyes. She had fair skin that was kind of pail but not as pail as some people they knew.
"Yeah he is. But not all twins are the same the two are totally the opposites of each other well except that they are both very smart." Hermione said pushing her food around her plate. Dinner finished quickly and Hermione said her goodbyes to Harry and Ron and made hr way to McGonagall's office to meet the head boy and find out where her new room is. Hermione reached the office door faster then she thought. She never thought that she could and would be so nervous to be doing something like this. It wasn't a very big deal either she was just finding out where her new counters were that's all right? Hermione took a deep breath and entered the room. There was no else in it besides McGonagall, who looked up at her entrance.
"Ah, good evening Miss Granger. I'm very pleased to see that you made it here in good time. I whish I could say the same for the head boy who as you can see isn't here yet." The professor said smiling at her and offering her a biscuit from the tin on her desk. After a few minutes the door opened and Malfoy came striding in looking very pleased with him self about something. Hermione rolled her eyes as he smiled and winked at her.
"Miss Granger I would like you to meet the head boy." McGonagall said calmly.
"You!" Hermione and Draco yelled at the same time glaring at each other. This was going to be a very bad year.
Authors Note!
Like it? Hate it? Tell me!!! I whish to know!!
It was around the end of august and Hogwarts would be starting back up in about three weeks. Hermione, Ron, and Harry are entering their seventh and final year at Hogwarts, their home away from home.
Hermione was lying out in the back yard of her house waiting for a owl from Ron or Harry or both of them in the same letter, which they have done several times. Harry was spending the summer with Ron, and the Weasley family was taking a family vacation to America, the only country that they haven't visited yet. Hermione of course was busy and couldn't go with the to America even though she would have loved to. Like every other day, since she had finished her homework the first week in July, spent her time waiting for an owl from her two best friends and the school supplies list to come so she could go and shop for her supplies. Hermione stared into the sky looking for shapes in the clouds when a grey owl suddenly landed on her stomach. Hermione raised her head from the ground and stared at the owl for a moment before realizing that it was a school owl let alone that it was an owl that had landed on her stomach. The owl jumped off allowing Hermione to get up. It lifted up it's left leg to reveal that there was a thick looking letter attached to it. Hermione took the letter and gave the bird some of her cookie that her mother made earlier. As soon as the bird finished its part of the cookie it flew off into the sky. Hermione quickly turned the letter over and opened it not noticing that it was sealed with the Hogwarts crest. She pulled out the letter from inside unfolded it and read it.
"Dear Ms. Granger,
I am very pleased to inform you that you have been made head girl this year because of your ability to work well with others and the high scores that you have achieved while you have been with us here at Hogwarts. After dinner is over I wont you to come immediately to my office so that I can tell you where your room is, what the password is and you will meet who the new head boy will be. Congratulations Ms. Granger I do believe that we will be seeing great things from you this year.
Sincerely,
Professor McGonagal"
"Oh my god." Hermione whispered to her self as she took out the head girl badge from inside the envelope. Hermione then sprang to her feet and rushed in to tell her mum and dad.
Draco rolled over covering his head with his pillow desperately trying to block out the annoying tapping that seemed to be coming from all around the room. He finally opened his eyes to put a stop to it when he saw that it was just an owl trying to deliver him some mail. "Who would be sending me mail? Well, besides Pansy but I don't return her letters anyway." Draco thought as he got and opened his window allowing the owl in. It flew over to his bed and held out a leg to show that it had a letter for him. It most certainly didn't look like Pansy's owl so he took the letter and turned it over to see the Hogwarts crest on the back. "Are they sending the school supplies early?" Draco thought as he opened the letter and pulled out the folded up parchment that was in side.
"Mr. Malfoy,
I am pleased to inform you that you have been named this year's head boy at Hogwarts. I hope that you will accept this because you are one of the most clever students Hogwarts has seen for a while. Send us an owl after you read this telling us whether or not you want this role at school. We didn't need to ask the head girl because it's obvious that she would say yes. If you accept after dinner please come to Professor McGonagal's office to meet the head girl and to get the password and location of your new rooms.
Professor Snape"
Draco reread the letter many times before letting it sink in that he was chosen to be this year's head boy. "Wow. They chose me. Do I want this or not? That is a good question. What the hay I'll write back saying that I accept." Draco thought as he put the paper down on his desk and turned to see that the owl was still there.
"I guess you wont leave until I send the letter now aren't you." He said to the owl as he turned again and sat down on his desk to start writing his letter. He was soon finished and gave the owl some water and food then sent it on it's way back to Hogwarts with his letter.
"Mum! Dad!" Hermione yelled as she ran in the back door and into the kitchen desperately looking for her parents. "MUM!! DAD!!" She called again as she walked out of the kitchen.
"Up here dear." Her mother called from upstairs. Hermione quickly ran up the stairs two by two and burst into her parent's room. Hermione was so excited that she just burst out laughing. When she finally calmed herself down she held out the letter and badge.
"I am this years head girl! I just found out isn't this great!" Hermione exclaimed happily as she sat down next to her mum on the bed. When her mother finally finished reading the letter she handed it over to her husband and gave Hermione a hug.
"I am so proud of you sweetie. Now tonight why don't we all go out call over Raven and Joey and we will go to the restaurant of your choice sound good?" Her mum said as she pulled away. Her mum then beamed at her "Why don't you go and owl Joey and Raven I'm sure they'll be just as happy as we are." Her dad said as he handed back the letter and badge. He gave her a hug and Hermione rushed out of their room and into her room (A/N: Just so you know Raven and Joey are Hermione's aunt and uncle.). Hermione opened her door to see a snowy owl sitting on her bed with a letter tied to her leg.
"Hey Hedwig! I see you have brought me news about Harry and Ron." Hermione said happily as she started to look through her desk draws for a piece of parchment and her quill. Over the summer Hermione had changed a lot. There were posters of dragons all over her walls and her bookcase was full of not just her school books but books on dragons too. There were also small and large peiuter dragons scattered around the room. Hermione finally found a piece of parchment and her quill before she turned around and walked back to Hedwig and took the letter from her and opened it.
"Hey Hermione! Sorry we haven't written in a while it's just that it's so amazing here! I hope your summer is going well. It's just not the same without you to keep us out of trouble here. (The handwriting changed into the very messy handwriting of Ron) We are in Arizona right now you should be here! This place is so beautiful! Well, any way we were visiting the Grand Canyon and Harry and me almost fell in! Luckily Fred and George caught us! (The handwriting turned back to the slightly messy handwriting of Harry again.) Yeah Ron's just still really um how do I put this so I don't hurt Ron um. I guess you could say that he's still jumpy from what happened even thought it happened. Well, it happened around 2:00 and now it's 7:00 so lets just say several hours ago. I think I have to end this letter before Ron takes over and start to put it in real detail. Miss you lots!
Harry and Ron"
Hermione smiled as she read this and shook her head. "Boys will be boys," She thought as she started to write her letter in return to his and to tell him about her becoming head girl.
As Draco finished writing his letter to Snape his ghost butler Hamilton floated in with a tray that had a bloody Mary on it. Draco looked up but quickly put a hand to his fore head as a flash of pain rushed through his head causing him to sit down.
"There is nothing in he wizerding world that can cure a hangover young master Malfoy. You know that perfectly well." Said the butler as if reading his mind. "You shouldn't go out all night drinking if you know what will happen in the morning." Hamilton continued as he placed the drink next to Draco's head that was now on the desk with his arms over it. Hamilton sighed and floated away out of the room. After a few moments he turned his head to look at the bloody Mary sitting next to him and picked it up, He then got up and walked over to his window taking small sips as he walked. "Why can't there be something to cure bloody hangovers? Sigh. Well bottoms up." Draco thought to himself taking a large sip of the drink then scrunching his nose in disgust at it.
He finished the bloody Mary and placed the empty cup on his windowsill. He then sat down on his bed and put his head in his hands. As soon as he did this, another annoying tapping sound filled the room. Draco groaned loudly as he saw another owl hovering outside his window. He got up and opened the window; the owl dropped its letter then swooped back out. He opened the letter to see the school supply list. "Good now I'll have something to do tomorrow." Draco thought as he placed the list down and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
"Hermione Shannon Granger!" Mrs. Granger yelled (A/N: yes I changed it from Elizabeth) as she stood at the foot of the stairs. It was the day after Hermione had gotten her head girl news and later that day had gotten her school supplies list.
"I'm coming! I just can't fine the shirt I'm going to wear I put it out last night but now I can't find it!" Hermione called from her room as she searched franticly around for her shirt. Hermione was wearing jeans and was looking for her black tank top that had a white dragon on it which seemed to have disappeared over night. She also had a dragon belly button ring. She was now standing on her bed looking around her room.
"Hermione! If you want to get there on time to meet Harry and Ron just pick another shirt!" Her mother yelled growing very impatient now.
"No! Wait I just found it!" Hermione called jumping off her bed and pulling the shirt over her head. She then ran down the stairs and put her sneakers on and walked out the door to her new car that seemed to be waiting for her just outside the driveway. "Let's take my car. I'll drive." Hermione said to her mum as she ran over to her car and opened the door. Her mum ran over and got in the passenger's seat and put on her seat belt. Hermione smiled and started the car and took off to Diagon Ally.
"Hey Harry! Hey Ron!" Hermione called as she ran up to meet her two best friends who look slightly tanner then before they left. Hermione gave them both a hug before she turned to her mum.
"So you can pick me up at five ok?" Hermione asked and her mum nodded. "Good see you then love you." Hermione continued giving her mum a hug and turning with Ron and Harry and walked up the stairs to Gringots.
"So where to first?" Harry asked as they were now walking down the busy street of Diagon Ally.
"Lets go to Flourish and Blotts." Hermione suggested, Harry nodded in agreement and Ron since he was now out numbered followed them into the store. Hermione looked down at her book list and started to walk in the direction of the potions section when she bumped into someone.
"Well, well, well, who do you we have here?" Draco sneered at her as she looked up.
"Bug off Malfoy I'm in no mood for your crap today." Hermione said fiercely glaring up at him.
"This is interesting. A mudblood telling me off my, my, I'm so scared. I'm shaking in my knickers." Draco sneered pretending to be scared.
"I though Hermione told you to bug off?" Ron said angrily now standing beside Hermione his hands in fists.
"Ron don't." Hermione said looking over at him.
"Oh what's this? Weasel sticking up for little mudblood Granger. How sweet." Malfoy said rolling his eyes. Ron was about to raise his arm to punch Draco when Hermione put a hand on his arm and pulled him away.
"What you do that for?" Ron asked when she stopped in the potions section of the store running a finger along the book titles looking for the potions book.
"Because. Now where did Harry go off to?" Hermione asked pulling out Magical Drafts and Potions by Arsenius Jigger.
"He's over there by the divination section." Ron said still angry the she pulled him away.
"Thanks. Now, here this is on our list and I believe that you should join Harry and get your Divination books." Hermione said handing Ron a copy of Magical Drafts and Potions and walking towards the Muggle Studies section. Ron sighed and walked over to Harry.
"Hey Harry." Ron said standing besides his as Harry was looking through the many books on Divination.
"Hey mate." Harry said looking over at Ron smiling but his smile turned into a frown as he saw the expression on his face. "What's up?" Harry asked standing up now frown him crouched position.
"It's Hermione. She's acting different then she usually does. Malfoy started to tease her I stepped in and she pulled me out of it before I could try and defend her. She doesn't seem that friendly today either." Ron said looking at the floor.
"Well, I don't think that it's not odd of her to pull you out of a fight with Malfoy she does that a lot. She's probably just tired that's all." Harry said with a shrug kneeling down again to look for his book. Ron sighed and shrugged it off and crouched beside Harry looking for the same book.
Hermione was scanning the Muggle Studies books looking for the right book when she felt someone run a hand down her out stretched arm that she was using to look for the book. Hermione closed her eyes for a moment knowing who it was.
"I thought I told you that I wasn't in he mood for your crap today Malfoy." She said coldly turning around. She didn't know how close he had been to her until she turned. She was practically pinned against the bookshelf.
"You might have said that but I am in the mood to give you my crap." Malfoy said smoothly pinning her tightly against the bookshelf. "I thought you might know better then to say something rude like that to me. Because you know that I can do practically anything I want here. So if you do something to me that I don't like then you should watch your back." Malfoy continued pushing all of his weight against her. Hermione looked around then mentally slapped her self. It was a very stupid to be in the most unlooked part of the store when your worst enemy was there as well.
"I'm not scared of you ferret boy Malfoy. If I were you I would be the one who was watching there back. I can be a very dangerous person if I want to." Hermione said menacingly leaning her head forward slightly. "I changed over the summer. I'm a very different person from who I used to be before. I said good bye to the goody-goody bookworm and said hello to a new person." Hermione continued in a smooth silky seductive voice leaning forward even more. Draco was also leaning forward. Their lips were about to touch when Hermione found the book she was looking for pulled it out then pulled a second copy out.
"Here." She said shoving it into his chest catching him off guard making him move away from her. "You might need this for class." She finished walking away from him swaying her hips slightly as she walked to go find Harry and Ron. Draco stared after her in shock.
"Whoa, she was just like me." Draco said to no one in particular as he looked down at the book she gave him. Yes, it was true he did take muggle studies. He only did it because he wanted to be different from his father. The truth was that he was interested by muggles, so he took the course.
Hermione found Harry and Ron the Herbology section looking for the books they needed.
"Hello all!" Hermione said brightly feeling very good about her self after what she just did.
"You're certainly happy us." Ron said smiling. Harry looked over at Hermione and smiled at her. Harry noted to him self that he should tell Ron that it's very obvious that he likes Hermione and should just ask her out if he likes her so much. Hermione gave them both a hug and said.
"Guess what I just did?" she said trying to hide a grin but was failing miserablely.
"What?" Harry and Ron asked in unison.
"I just beet ferret boy Malfoy at his own game." Hermione told them now letting her devilish grin show.
"You didn't!" Harry said laughing at this.
"Oh, but I did. I got him when he tried to tease me in the Muggle Studies section." Hermione said laughing as well at the look on Ron and Harry's faces.
"Good goin' 'Mione!" Ron said smiling at her. Hermione returned his smile and turned to the bookshelf that the boys were looking at. She ran her finger along the spines and pulled out three copies of the book they needed. After about a half hour of gathering all the books they needed they all went to the clerk to pay for them.
"Oh my god! I forgot a book. I'll be right back." Hermione said as they reached the clerk. Harry and Ron nodded to her as she turned and turned back to the clerk. Hermione maid her way to the section that as her favorite. The mystical creachers section. Hermione looked for the book she was looking for, for about 5 minutes. The book was entitled: Dragons: Facts to legends the only book about dragons that she didn't have that was in stock at the store. She owned the rest of them. Hermione hurried to the clerk and paid for her books then went off to find Ron and Harry who seemed to have found their way to Quality Quidditch Supplies.
"Of course." Hermione said to herself as she looked through the window to see them looking at the different broom models. "Thought I might find you guys here." Hermione said as she walked up behind them. They both jumped at her voice not expecting to find her in a Quidditch store.
"So, what's the newest model?" Hermione asked looking up at the broom that they were looking at.
"Firebird." Harry said looking at the beautiful broom before him. "Since when do you care? We thought you didn't really like Quidditch?" Harry asked tarring his eyes from the broom.
"Can't a girl be curious?" Hermione asked still looking at the broom. "And for your information I was thinking about trying out for the team this year." Hermione said raising an eyebrow at Harry. Ron stared at her in disbelief. Harry had a similar expression but he seemed to be happy for her.
"Didn't know you had an interest with Quidditch. I thought you hated flying?" Ron said still with a baffled expression.
"Yes, I can fly. I can fly actually pretty well. And yes I do have an interest with Quidditch. I have for a very long time. So Harry when are try outs?" Hermione said turning her attention to Harry.
"September 10th. Do you have a broom?" Harry said very interested wit this bi change with Hermione. She never seemed to like flying or Quidditch before.
"I have a Nimbus 2005. My mum and dad got it for me last year at Christmas. I just never told you guys that I got a broom. Madam Hooch has been giving me privet lessons in flying ever since second year. I was using a school broom then." Hermione told them. Ron was in a state of shock and Harry was just beaming at her. "Any one want ice cream?" Hermione asked after a few minutes of looking at the Firebird. They walked out of the shop and entered the ice cream parlor down the street.
"Oh, guys, there is something that I forgot to tell you." Hermione said suddenly when they entered the robes shop because Ron had to get new robes. Ron's dad had gotten a raise in the Ministry so now they can afford new things.
"Well, what is it?" Ron asked as he tried to get the attention of one of the witches there.
"I'm not a mudblood! My parents just didn't want to be part of the Wizerding word when Voldermort was in power because my mum was pregnant with me and didn't want to hurt her unborn child. So really I'm a pureblood!" Hermione said happily. Harry and Ron beamed at her happily as well. They knew how important this was for her, now she could tell off ferret boy Malfoy by saying that she wasn't a mudblood.
"That's great! Now Malfoy has nothing he could hold against you." Harry said as Ron disappeared with one of the witches working there for new robes. Hermione and Harry talked about Quidditch, which really surprised Harry because she knew just as much as he did about flying and the teams. They also talked about what spot she wanted to try out for, since they needed to new Beater and 2 new Chasers.
"I think I want to try out for Chaser. Don't think I'd do to well with being a Beater." Hermione said just as Ron came back about a half-hour later with his new robes.
"Great then I'll make sure that we don't get you mixed up. Thought I would be funny watching you being a Beater." Harry said laughing at the mental picture that was forming. Hermione rolled her eyes and hit his arm playfully pretending to be angry.
"E-hem!" Ron said after listening to their conversation for a few minutes.
"Oh! Hey Ron!" Hermione said standing up. Harry also stood up and followed them out of the robe shop.
"So, you were thinking of trying out for the team?" Ron asked after started walking.
"Yeah I was thinking of trying out for chaser. What do you think? Do you think I'm good enough for it?" Hermione asked smiling slightly. Hermione found it hilarious that they were still very surprised. The group hit the other stores that they needed to go to and left for the Leaky Cauldron. It was 5 by the time they got there and Hermione's mum was there waiting in Hermione's car.
"Do you guys want to come for dinner?" Hermione asked as she popped the trunk and started loading in her bags.
"Sure! We just have to tell me mum when we get to your house." Ron said and Harry nodded in agreement.
"All right then! Get in. I'm driving." Hermione said as her mom tossed her the keys and got into the drivers seat. Harry and Ron put their bags in the trunk closed it then got into the back.
"Uhh. are we sure that we can trust you with driving and driving safely?" Harry asked buckling his seatbelt and sending Hermione's mom nervous glances.
"Don't worry boys Hermione is a good safe driver. I taught her myself." Mrs. Granger said looking back at the 2 frightened boys in the back seat.
"If you say so Mrs. Granger." Ron said taking in a deep breath.
"Well, if you all are ready I'm going to start to drive." Hermione said looking at them in the rear view mirror. Hermione then started the car and took off. To Harry and Ron's surprise Hermione was actually a very good driver, much better then them anyways. They arrived at Hermione's house an hour later and headed for her room.
"You're a bloody brilliant driver! Much better then we can anyway." Harry said plopping down on her bed and kicking his shoes off. Hermione shook her head and walked over to the window and opened it and looked down. Hermione's broom was just where she left it outside her window.
"If you'll excuse me." Hermione said climbing out of the window.
"Bloody hell! Hermione!" Harry and Ron yelled as she jumped out of her window. Hermione landed on her broom and flew up so that she was eye level with Harry and Ron who was standing in front of the window staring open mouthed at her.
"Bloody hell Hermione, don't do that again. You scared the hell out of us!" Harry cried when they saw that she was all right. Hermione gave them a devilish smile and took off circling her house high up in the sky then coming straight down and making a lopedy-lope. Ron and Harry watched her in aw. She really was a good flyer almost as good as Harry!
"Wow." Harry and Ron said when she came back to the window and climbed back through taking her broom with her. Hermione smiled and propped her broom against the wall next to her window.
"So, what do you guys think?" Hermione asked sitting down on her bed and kicked her shoes off as well.
"That was bloody brilliant." Ron said stunned by what Hermione did. "You were almost as good as Harry!" Ron cried. He started to run around the room but then tripped over her boom box and fell. Harry and Hermione started to laugh like crazy when he fell upon a pile of pillows that happened to be on the floor in front of her boom box. When Harry calmed down from laughing he looked around the room.
"So, this is the great Hermione Queen of Neat Freaks room. Wow! It's messy!" Harry said starting to laugh again and this time Ron joined him. Hermione glared at them for calling her the Queen of Neat Freaks, they dubbed her that name last year after she went through this weird thing about keeping things neat.
"Hermione, Harry, Ron! Dinners ready!" Mrs. Granger called from the foot of the stairs.
"Ok you two cut it out and I'll show you to the kitchen." Hermione said still glaring at them and walking out of the room.
Hermione, Harry, and Ron arrived at Kings Cross at ten to eleven just in time to catch the train.
"Love you mum I'll see you at Christmas maybe!" Hermione called blowing her mum and dad a kiss before fallowing Harry, and Ron through the barrier on to platform 9 ¾. They found an empty compartment and entered just as the train started to leave. As soon as they bought snacks from the snack from the snack witch they got into a deep conversation on Quidditch training and new tactics for winning the games. Oh to soon it time for Malfoy's yearly visit to make fun of them.
"Well, well what do we have here Mudblood Granger actually talking about Quidditch how interesting. Next thing you know you'll try out for the team!" Malfoy said smirking at her. Hermione stood up and walked very close to him.
"For your information I am trying out for the team and I am a very good flyer Harry seems to agree and he is a much better flyer the you will every be." Hermione spat her lips just barley touching his.
"Oh, look you're actually standing up for your self how wonderful! Now this will just make things easier don't you think?" Malfoy sneered staring into her eyes only to see that she wasn't scared at this remark.
"What makes you think that I'm afraid of you? I never was so what makes you think I'll start now?" Hermione snapped putting a finger on his chest and pushing him away from her.
"We'll see about that." Malfoy sneered looking disgustedly down at her.
"Oh, I'm so scared! Harry! Ron! Come protect me!" Hermione said sarcastically. "Was that supposed to be intimidating because it's not working." Hermione said rolling her eyes at him. "Why don't you just turn around because you're wasting your time here trying to intimidate us as I said before I'm not scared of you so just back off." She said putting her hands on her hips.
"Fine, I'll leave but prepare yourself Granger. This is going to be the worst year of your life." Malfoy said backing towards that door.
"We'll see about that." Hermione said just before he closed the door. Once the door was closed Harry and Ron turned their attention to her.
"Wow. That was very interesting. He didn't even bother with us!" Ron exclaimed starting to dance around the compartment.
"I think he had just met his match don't you think?" Hermione said smiling and sitting down again as they restarted their conversation about Quidditch. The rest of the train ride went smoothly with no other visits from Malfoy. As the train slowed to a stop Hermione was the first out of the compartment. They made their way to the carriages to see that they wouldn't be able to sit together.
"I'll find another one you guys go on ahead." Hermione said starting to walk off to find another carriage. Hermione found an empty one towards the end and got in. A few minutes later the door opened again and Malfoy entered.
"Oh great I have to spend the ride with ferret boy." Hermione said as he sat down next to her.
"Oh come now I'm not that bad am I?" He whispered seductively into her ear. Hermione pushed him away.
"You know you can sit over there." Hermione said pointing to the seats across from her.
"But if I sat over there I wouldn't be able to do this." Malfoy said and with that he kissed her. He forced her mouth open with his tong and sought out her own tong. Hermione tired to pull away but found the she was unfortunately up against the side of the carriage. Hermione had no choice but to go on with it. Malfoy finally pulled away after what seemed like forever for Hermione and Hermione went to wiping her mouth and cursing her self forever doing that.
"What was that for?" Hermione almost yelled as they passed the gates leading into Hogwarts.
"You owed me from in the book shop. You almost kissed me but then didn't so you owed me but now you don't." Malfoy said in a matter-oh-factly voice as he moved to sit across from her. Hermione glared at him and looked out the window. It was only to soon when she felt his hot breath on her shoulder again.
"What do you want now?" Hermione spat not looking at him.
"What is there something wrong with me being here?" He asked not moving.
"Yes there is." Hermione said turning her head a little so that she could see him out of the corner of her eye.
"And what would that be?" He asked still not moving.
"I don't have to tell you." Hermione said simply looking back out of the window.
"C'mon."
"No."
"C'mon tell me!"
"Shut up you prat!"
"Make me!"
"Fine I will." And with that Hermione pulled out her wand and did a silencing charm on him so not matter how loud her yelled her wouldn't make a sound. They arrived at Hogwarts soon after Hermione silenced Draco and was giggling like mad when ever he tried to say something to her but all her could do was mouth out the words and look like a fish trying to breath. When they arrived Hermione got out of the carriage and closed the door in Malfoy's face. He came out two seconds later and tried to yell at Hermione but didn't make a sound. He scowled at her and grabbed her arm looking at her in an expected look on his face.
"You know I like you better like this. It suites you no?" Hermione said patting his cheek. "Bu-bye now." Hermione continued and walked over to where Harry and Ron were standing waiting for her.
"So how was it riding with Ferret boy?" Ron asked as they started to walk up the steps.
"It was quite enjoyable." Hermione said starting to giggle again but then burst out laughing at the looks on Ron and Harry's face. "We got into an argument and I told him to shut it he said make me so I put a silencing charm on him. It was so funny!" Hermione cried, as she laughed harder picturing Malfoy's face as he tried to yell at her. Harry and Ron relaxed and continued walking up to the Great Hall. The sorting ceremony came and went quickly for a change and dinner finally started. Hermione noticed that Harry was staring down the Gryffindor table at a girl the Hermione knew as Heather White, she was a seventh year like all of them, she was also a prefect like Ron.
"Earth to Harry!" Hermione called tossing a piece of bread at him. As soon as the bread came in contact with arm Harry came out of his trance and looked at Hermione.
"Who's that girl?" Harry asked pointing at Heather.
"Ooh! Is Harry starting to like a girl! Our little baby is growing up! Hoe cute!" Hermione said pretending to wipe tears away from her eyes. Harry half-heartedly glared at her but then laughed.
"Her name's Heather White her brother is James White, remember I dated him last year?" Hermione said after she calmed down from laughing.
"Isn't James in Ravenclaw?" Ron asked looking down at the girl named Heather. She was very pretty with her curly auburn hair and light green eyes. She had fair skin that was kind of pail but not as pail as some people they knew.
"Yeah he is. But not all twins are the same the two are totally the opposites of each other well except that they are both very smart." Hermione said pushing her food around her plate. Dinner finished quickly and Hermione said her goodbyes to Harry and Ron and made hr way to McGonagall's office to meet the head boy and find out where her new room is. Hermione reached the office door faster then she thought. She never thought that she could and would be so nervous to be doing something like this. It wasn't a very big deal either she was just finding out where her new counters were that's all right? Hermione took a deep breath and entered the room. There was no else in it besides McGonagall, who looked up at her entrance.
"Ah, good evening Miss Granger. I'm very pleased to see that you made it here in good time. I whish I could say the same for the head boy who as you can see isn't here yet." The professor said smiling at her and offering her a biscuit from the tin on her desk. After a few minutes the door opened and Malfoy came striding in looking very pleased with him self about something. Hermione rolled her eyes as he smiled and winked at her.
"Miss Granger I would like you to meet the head boy." McGonagall said calmly.
"You!" Hermione and Draco yelled at the same time glaring at each other. This was going to be a very bad year.
