The Dark Lord has risen and Hogwarts is a major target for him. Dumbledore, smartly, disguises it like any other muggle school so all the students have to do everything the muggle way…hmmm...Even the Head girl and boy.

The great hall was bustling when Hermione and Draco made their way inside. They went ahead, to their respective tables.

"Can you believe Dumbledore, 'Mione??", Ron asked with big eyes and a mouth full of bacon strips.

"Ron, please be a little polite…and yes, I think this is very smart on his side, don't you, Harry??"

"NO, I don't see why our school should suffer because of ME...I know Dumbledore is being smart but…" Harry was cut off by Ginny

"Harrry!!We've been over this…please don't think of Hogwarts going muggle-style to be your fault….maybe it will be fun…" She grabbed his hand and knotted are fingers around his. "It's going to be alright" she whispered and pecked him on his cheek.

"DRAKEEE", shrilled Pansy.

Oh no, please, Merlin, please make her STOP!

"Pansy…", Draco softly said with a nervous giggle.

"Drakee, its bad enough you have to live with that mudblood because she's head girl", Pansy frowned. Her pug-like features stretched across her pale face framed by her jet black hair. "Dumbledore's turning the whole school into a muggle school…I am scared, drake baby!!" she whined.

Really, what was that crazy old man thinking…he's too old for his rocker!

"I know…" Draco said as Pansy started tugging on his arm. He rolled his eyes. "I have got to get to class…"Draco jumped out of Pansy's grip.

He practically ran right through the large doors that held the Great Hall together. He remembered right then, he had a meeting with Dumbledore along with Hermione after which, he had to start attending his new muggle-bent classes.

Granger, Dumbledore and then the commencement of muggle-made classes…..today's going to be a loooong day.

"Accio Schedule" muttered Hermione after tying back her curly brown hair. It was much tamer now. It had grown out with ringlets to fringe the bottom.

Those were her scheduled classes for Monday. She sighed, She had heard of Driving and Drama but what was P.E??!!

O gosh,I am almost late for my meeting with Dumbledore.

Hermione rushed her way up to the headmaster's office.

"Almost late, Granger" Draco smirked.

Choose to ignore 'Mione, just ignore! Today's going to be a looong day.

"O shillings!!", Draco suddenly said. "Do you remember the password?"

Hermione made her way to the in front of Draco and right ahead was the statue of the gigantic Gargoyle. Its eyeballs were the size of Hermione's delicate fists.

"Chocolate Frogs", Hermione said loudly with clarity.

The Gargoyle turned to open out a flight of spiral stairs with interesting ornaments adorning it.

"What would you do without me?!" Hermione asked Draco with a smirk, identical to his. He contracted his grey-blue eyes but her chocolate brown ones were too used to those stern looks.

She made her way up the steps with Draco right behind her. Both of them were still surprised by the enormity of the chamber their headmaster called his office. She was always awed and interested in all the portraits and other magical items Dumbledore's office was filled with. Hermione would swear she could spend a decade only at his library and Draco preferred the Malfoy Mansion.

"Welcome back, Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy", Dumbledore said in his soft but yet powerful voice. Both heads smiled. "I have already told you about the muggle transformation of this school". Both heads nodded. "As always, I want the two of you to set examples at our school…and of course be careful, the War is not far", he said, with a slight shiver in his voice. "I want you to work together and show more than just house unity… Hogwarts will need all the unity it can get, don't you agree?" Both heads nodded again. "I know this sounds like an impossible phase to go through but being muggle is not that hard and I am sure, Miss Granger, you know", Dumbledore said with a cheeky smile that made Hermione smile.

"Of course", she said.

"Then I request for the two of you to take care of the school and keep it out of danger"

Both heads nodded again. "Thank-you's" were exchanged and the heads left the headmaster's office. Dumbledore stood in silence.

Today is going to be a loooong day…
