Old habits die hard.
Summary: After being offered an option to return to Hogwarts to finish their seventh year, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are appointed Head Girl and Head Boy. Will the two learn to put aside their hatred for each other?
Chapter one: Owl Post
Draco Malfoy paced the study in the East Wing side of the Malfoy Manor. In his hand, he held a letter from the Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Minerva McGonagall.
The letter was asking Draco if he would like to return to Hogwarts to finish his seventh year. With the war and everything, the students in Draco's year had not been able to do their seventh year.
His father was sentenced to two years in Azkaban for his participation in the war.
Draco's mother, Narcissa took time to herself, to clear her head. The war had changed a lot of people, mostly for the better, than the worse.
Narcissa and Draco had been let off with a serious warning.
Harry Potter had testified innocence of the two, because of previous times they had helped him.
Narcissa Malfoy had lied to Voldemort, saying that Harry was indeed dead, when he hadn't been. She only was caught up in this because all she wanted to do was protect her son, Draco.
Draco hadn't given Harry away the day the snatchers brought him to the Malfoy Manor, when Voldemort had been using the Manor as a headquarters.
Since then, Draco hadn't neared the West Wing where it all was held.
After some hard thinking, Draco decided it best if he went to finish his seventh year, despite the fact he needn't go back to school, because his inheritance covered his living costs so he needn't have a job.
He worked hard for six years straight and he wasn't about to let all that time, hard work and effort go to waste. Believe it or not, he was the second in his year when it came to grades. First of course, being Hermione Granger.
He got out a spare bit of parchment and a quill, and started to write his letter back to the headmistress of Hogwarts, accepting her offer.
Meanwhile at the Burrow, home of the Weasley's, Hermione Granger sat in the dining room, having a heart-warming chat about love with Molly Weasley.
They talked about how happy Molly was with Arthur, and how someday Hermione would find love of her own, till there was a tap on the window from the living room.
"Could you get that dear? It will be Errol with the post. I'm just going to pop upstairs and wake everyone up, breakfast is ready." Molly asked.
"Sure thing" Hermione replied with a smile.
As she reached the living room, she expected to see the house owl at the window awaiting someone's presence to let them in, but was confused to see a black owl with white smudges on its front.
She grabbed four letters that were attached to the owl's beak and discovered there was a letter for Ginny, Harry, Ron and herself.
Filled with curiosity she opened the peach coloured letter addressed to her.
She carefully slipped the letter out of the envelope and unfolded it.
The letter read:
Miss Granger
This letter is to inform you that you have an opportunity to attend Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry to complete your final year at Hogwarts. Due to complications last year, you and a number of other students in your year level were not able to attend their seventh year. Please write back with an answer immediately so we can arrange things for you.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall, Headmistress of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Hermione's eyes sparkled with delight and she jumped up and down squealing happily.
"Did somebody send you books?" Ron Weasley was watching her from the doorway, with an amused look on his face. She grabbed a book nearby and threw it at him, before heading back to the dining room
