Chapter 1-Realization
Hermione Granger said good bye to her mother and her father as she boarded the Hogwarts Express. This was her last year at Hogwarts and she was made Head Girl. Last year, she was a Prefect. She boarded the train and joined her two best friends, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. She had noticed that both Ron and Harry had matured a lot and looked more manly. She kept staring at Ron; she could not believe that he was so ... so... handsome. Wow, she thought.
'Hermione? Did you hear me?" Harry said.
"Huh?" she replied still staring at Ron. She noticed that he was staring back at her. That was so stupid why did I have to say that? She thought to herself. But that's not what was distracting her. Aside from her staring at Ron constantly, she heard the chilling voice of someone outside of the door.
"I was made Head Boy this year. I still don't know who was made Head Girl," said the voice. Harry got up and went to the door. He peered out and noticed a blond haired boy was talking. Harry burst out laughing. Harry heard small whimpers but thought nothing of it.
"You were made Head Boy Malfoy?" Harry said.
"What's it to you Potter?" he retorted. Harry glanced over at Hermione, who was crying in Ron's shoulder. "You stupid Mudblood, what's wrong with you?" She said nothing. This can't be happening. I can't be Malfoy's partner all year? We have to live in the same room. This is going to make me cringe, she thought.
"Just leave Malfoy," she said. She startled Ron as she stood up. Harry took a seat on the bench beside Ron and watched Hermione get up and slam the door.
"What's wrong?" Harry said.
"I'm Head Girl and Malfoy is Head Boy, right?" she told Harry. He nodded. "At Hogwarts it is traditional that the Head Boy and Head Girl share living quarters right?"
"You're upset because you have to share a room with Malfoy all year?" Harry said, hoping that he was right. Hermione merely nodded; she fell to the floor by the door and started to ball her eyes out again. Ron got up and went over to Hermione. He hugged her. He was comforting her and telling her that everything was going to be okay.
"Hermione, everything is going to be okay," Ron said, going red in the face. Harry came and joined him on the floor on her other side. He wanted to show her how much he cared. Five minutes later, once Harry and Ron finally calmed Hermione down, they had arrived at Hogwarts. They got out of the train and started to walk towards the castle. It some how looked different. Hermione figured that it was the last time that she was going to see it from the front.
"Just think," said Hermione. "This is the last time that we get to ..." She was interrupted by someone calling her name. It was Professor McGonagall.
"Ms. Granger, kindly step into my office. I must have a word with you and Mr. Malfoy," she said. Hermione did what she was told and said good-bye to Harry and Ron and that she would see them later but McGonagall told them that they would not be at the feast. She walked into McGonagall's office, where Malfoy was siting on a chair; Hermione took the chair next to Malfoy. The look on his face described how Hermione felt.
"Now," McGonagall started, as she took a seat at her desk. "You two have been made the new Head Boy and Girl. For the next year, the two of you will be sharing living quarters. Complete with bathroom." McGonagall stopped and asked is that clear. "Now, there are 2 rooms. Why? You are NOT ... I repeat NOT to go into the others room for any reason. That is strictly out of bounds. If either of you are caught in the others room, there are going to be severe consequences. Is that understood?" Hermione and Draco both nodded. That won't be a problem, Hermione thought. She looked on Malfoy's face and it was obvious that he was thinking the same thing. McGonagall told them that their luggage was at the room and what the password was.
They set off together. Malfoy warned Hermione that if she was caught any where near his room, he would hurt her deeply.
When they got to the room, it was the most beautiful thing that Hermione had ever seen. The room was large and circular. There was a fire place and a few candles that were emitting light. There were piles of books, what looked like a second library. It had 2 large windows and like the Great Hall, had a ceiling that reflected the nights sky. There were 2 spiralled stair cases leading to the rooms. They were on either side. Hermione was staring at the room with a look of amazement on her face.
"What are you staring at Granger?" Malfoy said. He too, seemed to look amazed. "Afraid that there aren't enough books for you to read? Or are you in total shock 'cause you can't have these luxuries at home?"
"Malfoy, it would be best if one of us put these books to use. So, if its not you it might as well be me," she said matter-of-factly. "Can we put aside our differences and live like 2 human beings or is that too much to ask for?"
"I guess we could but ... the first thing that you say wrong to me Granger, we go back to yelling at each other. Got that?" Malfoy said.
