A/N - So this is my first story on here. Hope you like it and review!
It was the first day back, or the even the first day ever for some of the Hogwarts students. The golden trio were seated in the end compartment of the fourth carriage of the Hogwarts express. Ron's breath was jagged as he had to literally jump on to the train as it moved off. Late as usual.
Although Harry found this to be quite amusing, Hermione saw fit to scold him saying "Honestly Ronald, you could have been killed!"
"Yeah well I made it didn't I? Anyway, what's got your knickers in a twist?"
Hermione remained silent, refusing to meet his glare.
"She's upset because she didn't get a letter pronouncing her 'head girl'." Harry replied.
She looked livid and was about to retort when an agitated looking McGonagall stepped into the cabin.
"Miss Granger, may I have a word?"
Hermione followed the transfiguration professor out of the compartment, turning back only to shoot one final glare at her friends.
They reached the very last carriage and stepped into a large room, ornately decorated with huge paintings of fantastic landscapes and famous wizards and witches. Sat on one of the long sofas was none other than the Draco Malfoy.
"Professor. Granger." Signature smirk in place as he said her name.
"What's he doing here?" Hermione spoke for the first time, a mixture of anger and confusion in her voice.
"All will be explained momentarily." And with that she was gone.
In that same instant, a dreamy and thoughtful looking Dumbledore appeared before them.
"Welcome back! It is with great delight and honour that I tell you this. You are both to be made head boy and girl of Hogwarts this year."
Hermione's face portrayed a look of shock and happiness whilst Malfoy's a one of arrogance.
"It is my duty to inform you that as head boy and girl, you will have certain duties to uphold and will need to work together in order to successfully achieve these."
As if all of a sudden both students obviously happy expressions changed somewhat.
Dumbledore continued his speech unbeknownst.
"You will also be sharing a common room but more of that shall be explained after the feast, if you would be so kind as to wait behind when it's all over. That will be all, thank you. Oh, and please remain in this carriage as to fully acquaint yourselves with one-another. Although, if I am to remember correctly, you have had various run-ins with each other in the past."
A moment of silence fell between them as Dumbledore disapparated but not for long as Malfoy immediately went back to fulfilling his apparent mission in life: annoying Hermione Granger.
"Well well Granger. Isn't today your lucky day?"
"And how, may I ask, have you come to that conclusion?"
"First of all, being appointed head girl, although I thought the position was only to be given to those above mudblood status."
Hermione inwardly groaned at his casual use of the word. And to think he might have grown up over the summer. Hah.
When there was no reply, he continued.
"And second, you have the great honour of sharing a common room with me. I certainly do look forward to that."
Damn. She'd forgotten that part.
"Don't you mean you have the great honour of sharing a common room with me?"
"Oh I do like a feisty one."
Death glares were shot at him and with that Hermione strode off to the far end of the carriage and sat down, doing her best to ignore him.
