(A/N: The title doesn't make sense until the second and third chapter, but chill out, Hermione is at her house and so is Draco, but neither of them are in school until the next chapter.)

The Letter, The Pensieve, and Packing for School

Hermione Granger sat on her satin blue floor pillow gaping at the letter she had just received from school. A momentary shock came over her as she realized that she had been selected for the overly respected position(or so she thought) of Head Girl."Oh this is fantastic. Mum and Daddy are gonna be so happy," She said to herself before happily reading on assuming that the Head Boy might be Harry or Ronald, but she choked on her butter beer.

"DRACO L. MALFOY !!!!" She screamed outraged at the words in black ink on the parchment.

She grabbed a black pillow off of her bed and screamed for a solid five minutes at the unfairness of the world(not to mention cursing inexplicitly at the pure spite of whoever picked them for Heads). Little did she know, almost exactly the same thing was going on at the Malfoy Mansion...

Draco Malfoy sat alone on his black lounger in his enormously deserted room and an owl flew in through the golden hued window. He scanned the first half, Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...Blah, blah, blah, Draco Malfoy has been selected for Head Boy.

"Bugger!"Great Malfoy everything you always wanted right in front of you and a bag of chips

The sarcasm was almost right for the following paragraph of the letter.

Your Head Girl and roommate will be Hermione J. Granger.He felt like killing himself. As if that wasn't bad enough, I'm stuck with mudblood Granger.

He continued with the letter.You and the Head Girl, Ms. Granger, will be keeping a shared common room and an attached bedroom for you and the Head Girl.

"This is just fantastic. The wench and me, I should start keeping a journal," he said just to spite himself.

...I wonder if Malfoy has changed at all over the summer, what with his dad being gone and everything, maybe he is a little softer now. Hermione prayed to the gods that living with Malfoy wouldn't be complete and utter hell, but those thoughts were quickly shorted by the absolute sureness that he was gonna be as much arse as usual.

Meanwhile at Hogwarts, just hours earlier..."Minerva, I need help deciding Head Boy and Head Girl are for the coming year." Albus Dumbledore pondered stroking his old gnarled beard. "Well, Albus I was thinking that Hermione Granger would be an excellent choice," Professor McGonagall said with the smallest bit of hope in her voice.

"Ms. Granger, well that is actually quite a good idea." He said before walking over to his pensieve and pulling out a rather entertaining thought or argument as the case may be. He recalled a certain fight between Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy that he had settled about two months before.He swirled the thought around in the pensieve until everything became clear...

Hermione was being teased by Malfoy and was beginning to get upset.He had little realization that she had some feelings, but at the time, she found this emotion completely useless.

"Malfoy, get out of my way, I have a class to get to." She said awkwardly with an irritating whimper of him slamming his arm into the wall. She was cornered."Malfoy, just leave me alone and I'll leave you alone." Hermione said with small emphasis on 'leave me alone'.

"Oh, come now, mudblood you aren't scared of me now are you?" Draco pointed out with the small twinge of overconfidence that caused her to shudder.

"Malfoy leave me alone or I swear I'll hex you till your black and blue!" She said pulling her wand out and duckling under his arm that had her pinned in the corner.

Meanwhile Dumbledore was watching this from the top of the staircase." That's it. You're dead ,ferret.Expelliarmus!" She shouted and he shot backwards.

"You'll regret doing that Granger!" He said before running toward her and almost hitting her before Dumbledore shouted and they both froze in fighting stance.

"You two stop now. I don't want to give any detentions now, do I?" Albus said in an overly commanding tone.

The memory ended. A short one, but old Albus had a strange idea."Minerva, would you think it wise to put Malfoy in with Ms. Granger for the year." Albus said to his colleague happily and they both agreed that it was a splendidly entertaining idea.

Hermione laid in her bed staring at the ceiling pondering on one word she took like it was posion of the mind. Draco Malfoy shifted sideways in his bed and looked out of the moonlit window while following a word that buzzed around in his head. Granger.

Two weeks later Hermione sighed pulling out her suitcase from under her bed and began to neatly pack for school... Dreading her newly acquired roommate."Hermione, calm down he might not be that crazy," She told herself reassuringly, she still was uneasy at the thought of sharing a room with Draco Malfoy.

Her radio played a new song that was very popular in America at the time.....Hmmm, Yeah, It's all right, yeah I'll be fine, Don't worry about this heart of mine, just take your love and hit the road, there's nothin' that you can do or say, you're gonna break my heart anyway, so just leave the pieces when you go...

"Mother, I need my black tube socks," Draco said in great annoyance. He moved each item into the suitcase. He looked at his shiny new HHB (Hogwarts Head Boy) badge and pretended to gag.

In a short while he and Hermione Granger would be seeing eachother...Exactly what I don't want to do.URGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"Oh, We can just buy some later. I am too busy," She said too busy as she sat down to put on too much heavy makeup and go out for a night of drinking and dancing. Draco would soon be left alone for dinner.

Hermione continued packing and read the letter from Ron, Harry, and Ginny. She had sent them one about two days ago and it had every detail of her hatred toward rooming with a certain Malfoy.

Dear Hermione,

If the ferret tries anything on you we will beat the shite out of him. Ginny says she has learned some hexing from WSD. It's some weird defensive spells class Mum sprung for. Anywho Harry sends his brotherly best.Love,Ron, Ginny, and Harry.PS. I am so happy I am going to see you so soon. I love you-Ron

Her heart jumped at this because before school ended last year, Ron had kissed her before running off to greet his mum.These two are in for quite an adventure during their year together.

(A/N: Was it okay for the first chapter? There is so much more to come.)
