Chapter 1

And so it begins

Draco Malfoy was slowly making his way up to the front of the Hogwarts Express where he had been called to see Professor Snape, the sourly Potions master, who everyone knew wanted the Defence Against the Dark Arts position at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Draco had gotten a note from a frightened looking first-year. When he had given the note the little boy had stared dumb-struck at the trademark blonde hair and silver eyes of the famous Malfoy. The kid had obviously heard of the name Malfoy. It was a name that had been widely connected with the dark side and the biggest dark wizard ever known. Lord Voldermort or more commonly know as You-Know-Who.

Draco took the note without even acknowledging the kid. When he looked down at it, he recognised the untidy scrawl of his potions master and head of house. Draco was in Slytherin. He read the note quickly and tucked it into his pocket. As he got up to leave his friend Vincent Crabbe also rose, thinking that Malfoy was about to do a round of his prefect duties. On seeing Crabbe get up, Gregory Goyle also stood up too.

"Prefects duties Draco?" asked Crabbe in his deep voice.

"No. Snape wants to see me." Draco replied, not roughly but in a tone that suggested he didn't need any assistance to see his godfather.

Crabbe and Goyle sat down instantly on hearing Draco's tone. Draco walked out of his compartment and started walking down the train. He looked out through the windows as he walked noticing how the scenery was changing which indicated that they were nearing Hogwarts. The weather was a surprisingly sunny one. Suddenly he walked into someone coming from the opposite direction. His vision was obscured for a moment by a mane of bushy hair. He untangled himself from whoever it was and noticed that it was Hermione Granger.

"Watch where you're going mudblood!" he said rudely to her. She looked at him like he had crawled out from the nearest swamp and without saying a word she pushed past him to get to her compartment further down the train.

Draco wasn't one to apologise. Especially not to a filthy mudblood like Granger, he thought. He walked past two more compartments and finally reached the one that Severus Snape was seated in. He pulled the door open and entered. Snape looked up from the book that he had been contemplating on hearing his godson arrive.

"Hello Draco. I see you got my note."

"Obviously," Draco said. He wasn't normally rude to his teachers but Snape was an exception. "What did you want me for?"

"To give you this," Snape said extracting a brown envelope from the book that he had been reading and handing it to Draco.

Draco took the envelope and opened it to find two pieces of parchment in it. He opened the one on top and read carefully. It seemed that he had been appointed as Head Boy of his school Hogwarts. For the words to really sink in he read the top page again.

He looked up at Snape startled at what he had just read. Snape, however had picked up his book again and carried on reading. Without even looking up Snape handed him a green and silver badge with the words Head Boy engraved on it. Draco took it and left the compartment without saying a word. He walked a couple of steps when he was suddenly overcome with curiosity. He retraced his steps back to his Head of houses compartment. Snape didn't even lift his head up from his book.

"Yes Mr. Malfoy?" Snape said in a dull voice.

"Who's the Head Girl?" Draco asked inquisitively.

"You'll find out soon enough I'm sure."

The welcoming feast in the Great Hall was as extravagant as ever. There were numerous delicious dishes all along the house tables. However Draco wasn't enjoying any of them. It had been a really rough summer for the blonde boy. After having been appointed as a Deatheater and spent a whole year trying to kill the headmaster Dumbledore, Draco finally lashed out at his father for being an inconsiderate git. This had made his father see sense and before the end of his sixth year had arranged to meet with Dumbledore and ask for his son to be protected by the Order of the Phoenix. Dumbledore had immediately accepted and now Draco was undercover. He was working in just the same way as Snape. He would be summoned by the Dark Lord and return to give the important details to Dumbledore. It hadn't been easy. Of course the animosity of the people living in 12 Grimmauld Place had been an added bonus. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley at first had been reluctant to accept Draco as someone fighting for the light side. However upon Dumbledore and Mr. and Mrs. Weasleys' wishes he and Ron had tried to prevent their hatred of the blonde boy from getting in the way of their initial goal. Bring down Lord Voldermort.

The boys hadn't ended up being friends. However they didn't continuously verbally insult each other anymore. The blonde boy almost laughed when he remembered the outraged looks on all of their faces when he had first walked in to Grimmauld Place with Dumbledore explaining the circumstances. Potter had been furious to find out that Draco had in fact been a Deatheater. The only person who had accepted the situation from the first moment on had been Hermione. She didn't so much as go up to him and hug him or got friendly with him. But she had especially made an effort to be civil around him. He however had not. This had resulted in her completely ignoring him during the times that he was at headquarters. This suited the blonde boy just fine. He remembered their brief encounter on the train and for an instant regretted his outburst of mudblood.

A loud scraping noise from all around the hall brought Draco back to the present. It seemed that the feast was over. Just as he rose from his seat someone touched him on the shoulder. He turned to find the same first year who had given him the note on the train staring at him.

"What?" Draco said. Not rudely but somewhat roughly.

"Professor Snape told me to tell you to wait for him in the Entrance Hall Mr. Malfoy," said the kid nervously whilst avoiding his eyes.

"Ok, thanks," said Draco.

Thinking that it was probably about his Head duties Draco proceeded to the Entrance Hall to wait for his Head of House. He didn't have to wait long however. Snape came purposefully striding out of the Great Hall. He barely acknowledged Draco but indicated for him to follow. Together they walked up to the seventh corridor and turned left at the portrait of a lioness protecting her cubs. They came to a still at a heavy looking wooden door. Snape drew out his wand and tapped the handle three times. The door clicked and swung open. Snape however did not walk in. He turned to Draco and said

"This is the Head Boy and Girl's quarters. You are to live in these quarters this year and are not required to move into the Slytherin dungeons. You will find that your possessions have already been moved here. I expect you and the Head Girl to report to me tomorrow morning for your duties."

Just then Professor McGonagall walked out of the open door calling inside, "You and the Head Boy are to report to Professor Snape for your duties tomorrow morning."

Upon seeing Draco and Snape standing by the door she said, "Ah, Mr Malfoy. Yes go on in. I believe Professor Snape has already informed you of your living arrangements for this year?" Draco nodded. "Very well than," she continued, "Off you go." and with that she strode off.

"Good evening Mr Malfoy," And with that Snape strode off too. Draco nearly called out asking who the Head Girl was but they had both already disappeared down another corridor already.

Shaking his head he walked into the Heads' quarters. The room was round with an incredible red and gold hearth rug in front of the equally magnificent fire place which at the moment was crackling merrily. There were shelves that ran all along the walls and a desk for the head boy and girl to study on. Also various soft cushioned arm chairs. Draco noticed that there were two doors on opposite sides of the fireplace. There was light spilling out of one of them. He assumed that the Head Girl was in there. He walked towards the door but it swung open before he reached it and out stepped Hermione Granger. She froze in the doorway when she saw Draco. He froze when he saw Hermione and at the same time they pointed at each other and said with equally angry looks:

"You're the other Head?"
