Her Heart
Hermione
"You... foul... loathsome...evil... little cockroach..." I screamed pointing my wand at Malfoy's nose.
"Hermione! No!" Ron screams, causing me to turn around in shock.
'Why did he stop me?' I thought to myself
"He's not worth it." He continues, answering the question on my face. I nod, only to hear Malfoy and his goons start to chuckle so I turn around & clock him in the jaw with a strong right hook.
"That felt good." I said as Malfoy & his lackeys ran off.
I woke up to Korn's Freak On A Leash blaring through my radio alarm clock. Today was September 1st Harry and I were going to Hogwarts again to finish our schooling and get a chance to take our 7th year & our N.E.W.T.S. It was just Harry & I due to the fact that Ron decided to accept the Ministry of Magic's offer to all three of us to work in the Ministry in whatever we wanted. Me & Harry decided to go to school to get one last year of relative normalcy before jumping in to adulthood. I still had my letter from Headmistress McGonagall informing me of the latest news allowing us the opportunity to go back to school.
Dear Ms. Hermione Jean Granger
It is my great pleasure to inform you that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry WILL be open in time for the upcoming school year. It is also my great pleasure to inform you that those who were unable to finish their schooling, such as yourself, can choose to come back, or proceed without finishing. Please send your response immediately with this owl.
I also had the letter that she responded with shortly after.
Dear Ms. Granger
It is a great pleasure to see that you wish to continue your education. Enclosed is the list of supplies you will need for this year as well as your class schedule. It is with great pleasure that I also inform you that with your continuation of your education you are to be Head Girl this year. However, due to your history together, I regret to inform you that Draco Malfoy is Head Boy. I know that you will keep a clean & clear head & not allow him to antagonize you. It is in fact my greatest hope & desire that you two will actually come to terms & resolve your differences, peacefully I might add. & move on from the past as the war in this last year has changed all of us. You & Mr. Malfoy will report directly to my office after all the students go to their common rooms to discuss your responsibilities for this upcoming year.
How Malfoy ever got perfect, let alone Head Boy was beyond me. I mean he was nothing but cruel, especially to me. And now they expect me to work with him. I know that Harry & I testified on all of the Malfoys' behalf, but I highly doubt that will decrease their animosity to us.
'He did seem different at his trial.' A small voice in the back of my head said.
Harry & I decided attend all of the Malfoys' trials & testify, mostly on Draco and Narcissa's behalf. Harry told me how Narcissa's one & only concern was the safety of her family, primarily her son. It was also the same for Draco. I still remember his trial clearly. Kingsley, who was put in as temporary Minister of Magic until a new one could be elected, was at the forefront of the Wizengamot questioning Malfoy about his participation with Voldermort & how he came to join the ranks as a Death Eater. Apparently Voldermort threatened him & his family so he was forced to join or sacrifice his life and that of his parents. The Wizengamot decided to give Lucius a 5 year sentence, 2 years in a lower security cell in Azkaban, 1 year of house arrest, & 2 years of probation. Draco and Narcissa got off lucky with Narcissa only receiving a tracking spell placed on her and a monthly meeting with an Auror. Draco received a year of probation, a tracking spell, and was allowed a monthly meeting with his father under the supervision of an Auror. I don't know what his probation was but I highly doubted that whatever it is rid him of his coldhearted animosity towards me, only time would tell as I grabbed my bag & went to King's Cross to board the Hogwart's express.
