New Year

It was a hot, sunny summer day. Hermione Granger was lying down on her back in the summer grass. She was thinking about tomorrow when she would be going back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for her 7th and final year. She had gotten her letter of acceptance for Head Girl last month but it didn't seem to mention who had gotten chosen for Head Boy.

It couldn't be Harry because you had to be a Prefect to be Head Boy, and Ron had gotten chosen for Prefect. It couldn't be Ron either, because you had to have good grades, so that ruled Ron out. She didn't have a clue who the Head Boy would be, but she was concerned because she hoped that it wasn't her worst enemy, Draco Malfoy.

Every year, the Head Boy and Head Girl share a dorm together. If Malfoy was chosen to be Head Boy, then she would have to spend more time with him then she would like to. He would also abuse the position to help his fellow Slytherins to win the House Cup. She couldn't imagine how horrible it would be, for her to have to share a dorm with Malfoy. But, even Dumbledore wasn't that crazy to choose Malfoy, everyone knew that if he wasn't already then he would become a Deatheater, and for sure Dumbledore wouldn't choose a Deatheater for Head Boy, it was mad. She decided to not worry about it.

Also, during the summer her parents told her that they weren't muggles. They were really magical. Her parents are Frank and Barbra Granger. They were Purebloods, but they went into hiding because they refused to join Voldemolt.. She had owled Harry and Ron and told them, and they were happy for her. So she was now Hermione Granger, the pureblood.

It was the next day and she was nervous about seeing Harry and Ron. She was nervous because during the summer she had changed. She no longer had big, bushy, untamable, chocolate brown hair. Her hair was now soft, smooth, silky hair with light brown streaks. She had gotten light brown contacts to match her hair. Her two, big front teeth were now straight and pearly white.

During the summer, she had grown, not so much as tall, but she had developed more. Because of this growth spurt, she started to wear more revealing clothes, to show off her petite, curvy, young lady body. Not only had her appearance changed but she had a new attitude to go with her new look. During the summer she had met some new friends in her neighborhood.

They took her to night clubs and they would go drinking, but she would never get drunk because she knew her limit. She also started swearing and was a heartbreaker. She didn't know how her friends would react to her new self.

'Guess I will find out.', thought Hermione. She quickly got dressed and put on her make up. But she couldn't decide what to do with her hair She finally decided on a simple pony tail. She then summoned the Knight Bus and was off to King Cross. When she got there she got a trolley and placed her trunk on it.

She went through Platform 9 and ¾, with her trust ginger cat, Crookshanks, walking beside her proudly. She searched for Harry, Ron, and Ginny but they were no where to be found. She quickly noticed that not many people had arrived yet, so she assumed that she was early and went off the find the Head compartment.

She finally found it, and sat down and took out Hogwarts: A History and began to read. 'Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded by the greatest witches and wizards of the time: Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Ravenclaw. They shared a common goal. . .', Hermione read, but the compartment door opening interrupted her.

She was finally going to find out who was this years Head Boy. Who she would be sharing a dorm with. The compartment door open, and a young man with platinum blonde hair and icy cold grey eyes stepped into the compartment with his trademark smirk glued to his face. This years Head Boy was Draco Malfoy.

"Malfoy?", Hermione said in disbelief. 'How could Malfoy be the Head Boy. How am I going to survive this year?', she thought.

"Yes, you filthy little mudblood.", Malfoy said with a smirk on his face.

"Shut up, Ferret Boy.", Hermione said, and went back to reading her book. "And don't call me Mudblood, you will learn why soon."

For the rest of the trip, Hermione and Draco didn't say anything, but they kept on stealing glances at each other without each other knowing. Hermione finally got up to change into the robes and to go find her friends.

"Hey guys.", Hermione said, while giving all of them a hug.

"Hey 'Mione", Ginny said.

Ron just stared at her with his mouth open and said, "You changed."

Harry closed Ron's mouth and said, "You look great, it what Ron meant."

Hermione blushed and muttered, "Thank you."

"So, Miss Head Girl. Who is Head Boy?", Ginny asked.

"Uh. . .Malfoy.", Hermione said, looking down.

"Malfoy!", Ron and Harry yelled.

"Yes, and don't freak out ok. I can handle myself...", was all Hermione could say, because the train came to a stop, and they were finally at Hogwarts.

Hermione rode in the Head carriage with Malfoy, but neither said a word. Hermione stepped out into the carriage and looked at the huge castle in front of her. It felt so good to be back. Hogwarts was the one place where she felt safe and at home.

After this year, she wanted to come back and teach. So, she would never have to leave until she died. Professor Dumbledore told her that if next year if he had a job open that he would give it to her.

She walked into the Great Hall and sat down in between Harry and Ron at the Gryffindor table. All through the hall there was laughter and talking.

Professor Dumbledore stood up and motion for silence. "Let the sorting begin."

The sorting hat suddenly came to life and started to sing.

Many, many years before,

There was a gigantic war.

It was between both wizards and men.

However, no one won in the end.

When all the dead bodies lay strung out,

Four voices, did ring out,

Godric Gryffindor: Bold and true;

Salazar Slytherin: Cunning and shrewd;

Rowena Ravenclaw: Quick and bright;

Helga Hufflepuff: Loyal and with might.

Together these four made the place in which you stay,

So that others may learn their magnificent ways.

And so that a war like before would never happen again,

To tutor their pupils, and help them become true men.

So that the world may become a better place,

They built Hogwarts, where you learn the magical ways.

But the time has come,

Hate and Love must join,

For the Dark Lord is coming,

Let the line between love and hate disappear,

For it is thin.

Let the sorting begin.

'What did it mean by love and hate?', Hermione thought. After the sorting, Dumbledore stood up and the Great Hall stood silent.

"Welcome, to another year at Hogwarts. I would like to remind everyone that the Forbidden Forest is forbidden. And due to the dark time all 7th years may apparate and visit Hogsmede as they wish as long as it does not interfere with classes. Finally this years Head Boy is Draco Malfoy from Slytherin. This years Head Girl is Hermione Granger from Gryffindor. Would the Head Boy and Girl meet me after the feast. Tuck In.", Dumbledore said, and with a wave of his hand, food instantly appear on the table and the plates.

After a couple of hours, everyone was filled with so much food that they felt like they were going to explode. Dumbledore dismissed them and Hermione and Draco went to Dumbledore.

"Now first of all, I would like to congratulate you two for making Head Boy and Girl. Now, if you would follow me and I will show you your dorm.", Dumbledore said, with they usual twinkle in his eyes.

They followed Dumbledore until they just stopped right next to Muggle Studies. They looked right where Dumbledore stopped, there was nothing there. Then Dumbledore said, "This is your entrance, when you say your password, 'Love', your entrance will appear. No one can apparate in here. You can apparate out of your dorm, but not into it.", Dumbledore said. He turned to the wall and said "Love". Then all of a sudden an entranced appear, but there was no door, just a whole in the wall.

"I must leave you here. The reason your password is love because ever since I have been teaching at this school, The Head Boy and Head Girl have married each other, I know that it is unlikely because of your backgrounds, but I would just like to warn you. Good Night.", Dumbledore said, before disappearing in a 'pop'.

They stepped in their new dorm. The common room was twice as big as the Gryffindor common room. There were three loveseats in front of a fireplace. One with Gryffindor Crest on it, and one with the Slytherin Crest, and one with the two crests coming together, become one. There was a door that said Kitchen, which led to the Kitchens. To Hermione's pleasure, there was a private Library, with all of the books that the school library had, including the restricted section. There were also two desks. Up the stairs, there were three doors. One that said Hermione Granger, one that said Draco Malfoy and one that said Bathroom. They obviously had to share a bathroom.

They went upstairs to look in the bathroom. There were two showers, one huge bathtub that was bigger than the Prefects one, two sinks, two toilets, and another door at the very end. Hermione walked over to the door and opened it. Behind the door, was a huge swimming pool. It was huge. It could easily fit the whole Gryffindor house in it.

"Wow", was all Hermione could say. She was speechless. She then went into her room.

She came up to it and the door said, "New Password".

"Um...how about Unicorns.", she said.

"Password Accepted.", the door said, and opened.

Her room was better than the common room. It was decorated in red and gold, and had a rug with the Gryffindor Crest on it. She had a queen size four poster bed. She had a night stand, a dresser, and vanity, and an odd looking wardrobe. She opened it and it was empty. She closed it and opened it and then there were clothes. It was magical wardrobe. Any type of clothes would appear when she wanted them too. She also had a balcony.

She went out and look at the stars. She then noticed that Draco's room was connect to the balcony like hers. But Draco wasn't in his room. His room was exactly like hers but without the vanity and the colors were Green and Silver. She went inside because it was getting cold and changed into some shorts and a tank top. She grabbed her journal and went downstairs to the common room.

When she got there Draco was there staring at the fireplace. She just ignored him and sat down in her chair and began to write in her journal:

Dear Journal,

My common room is beautiful and my room is better. But I do miss Harry and Ron and all the other Gryffindors, but I am sure that I will spend most of my time at the Gryffindor Tower. Classes start tomorrow and soon I will be back to my normal routine. Malfoy is Head Boy, but I will not let him get to me. I am going to enjoy this and let no one tell me other wise. Malfoy is staring at me so I better write tomorrow.

Hermione,

Hermione closed her journal and glared at Malfoy. "What are you staring at, Malfoy?"

"Nothing important.", Draco said with a smirk on his face. He loved to tease her about being a mudblood. But he didn't know that she was a pureblood.

"You sure about that? Did you notice that I am a pureblood, not a muggle born? So I should say that I am important.", Hermione said.

Draco's jaw dropped. "Your a p-pureblood?"

"That's right Malfoy. I am going to bed.", Hermione said with a smile, and got up and went to her room.

Dream

She was in a dark room with black candles lit. All around her were Deatheaters with hoods that hid their faces. They were all looking at her. Snape was there, and saying with his lips 'relax'. Then all of the Deatheaters started to bow. Voldermolt came and someone pushed her towards him. That person held out her arm, and he tapped it with his wand. Then insufferable pain went through her whole body. She felt like she couldn't stand it. She wanted to die right there and end the pain. She fell onto her knees. It finally stopped. She was still weak from the pain and she couldn't get up. Then someone helped her up, she turned around and it was. . .
