PLANNED BEFORE SIXTH BOOK
I planned this all out before reading the sixth book so Dumbledore is still alive and everything is as normal as possible.

Author's Note: Hey, I thought that this story might be cool, so I started writing it… So please read! YOU HAVE TO. I COMMAND YOU TO!

Chapter One: The Diary

Hermione grinned and walked toward Platform 9¾. It was a beautiful day for a train ride to Hogwarts. "Hermione, dear! Don't forget to give us your good-byes!" Called a voice. She turned around and embraced her parents in warm hugs. "Love you mum, dad." She sighed. It would be another year before she could see her parents again, unless she came back during the holidays. "Oh, Hermione. You're so grown up! Seventeen is almost an adult. Now because you're Head Girl and this is your final year, your father and I would like to give you this." Mrs. Granger paused to take out a book from her bag.

"We bought this at a fancy antique store." Hermione stared at it in awe. Its covers were of brown leather and had swirls etched in both the front and back. In fancy gold script, the cover said 'Diary'. "We thought you might like it. You can tell everything to it." Her parents were practically beaming at her. "Oh, and here's a quill that comes along with it. I know it's weird because it should be a pen or pencil, but we thought that it was a nice addition."

"Hermione!" Two people shouted at the same time. Hermione spun around and saw two of her best friends, Harry and Ron, waving to her. "Hey guys!" She waved back and turned back to her parents. "Bye mum. Bye dad! Thank you so much for the diary, I love it! I promise to write in it every day I can. Bye!" She pecked their cheeks and ran toward her friends. "Bye darling!" She heard her parents shout their good-byes.

Suddenly, someone crashed into her with their shoulder and she fell. "Watch it, Mudblood." Draco Malfoy glared down at her and stalked away. Hermione narrowed her eyes and picked up her things. She then walked the rest of the way to Harry and Ron. "Hey guys! I missed you two so much!" She put down her things to give them each a hug. Both were at least half a foot taller than her. Harry and Ron grinned at her. "Nice to see you again!" Said Harry. Ron nodded in agreement. "Nice to see you, too."

She smiled and picked up her stuff. Together, they entered the platform and boarded the Hogwarts Express. "I'll see you later, guys. I have to go to the Heads and Prefects compartment and see who the other Head is. Want to come with me, Harry? We can go meet Ginny there." Harry nodded and they both said bye to Ron, who disappeared in a compartment with Luna, Neville, and Dean in it.

"Wonder who the Head is." Hermione remarked, excited at finding out who it was going to be. Harry shrugged, "We'll be finding out soon." She and Harry went inside the front compartment. It was bigger than the others and had a good view of outside. "Hi Ginny." She greeted her red-haired friend. Quickly, Hermione scanned everyone's badges to find the Head Boy badge. When she found it, she grinned and looked up to see who it was. Her smile instantly faded as her eyes met with Draco's. They both shouted at the same time, "YOU'RE THE OTHER HEAD?"

Hermione nearly fainted and she fell back against her seat. "I can't believe this. A whole year with you!" She grimaced at the thought of having to share a common room and a bathroom with him. "I'm not all that pleased about this, either. In fact, I'm not even the least bit content!" He sneered at her. Harry heatedly stood up to defend his friend, but sat back down when Dumbledore and the heads of houses entered their compartment.

"Good afternoon." The elderly headmaster peered through his spectacles to look at each and every one of them. The professors filed in behind him and they all sat down. "Now I have some jobs for all of you and especially the two Heads." He took a moment to pause and glance at each of the Heads' faces. Hermione's looked eager and Draco had a bored expression on his face.

"Now this year, we thought we'd have a ball right before the Winter holidays this year. Preferably a Saturday. That way, all will be able to attend. It will be the Winter Ball; a new tradition for Hogwarts. The Heads are going to have to be going together and they as well as the prefects are required to help in decorations, music, refreshments, anything else you can think of." Dumbledore paused and smiled at everyone's delighted reactions. Or at least, almost everyone's. Draco was looking a little disgusted. "Great, Mudblood." He glowered at Hermione. "Now I'm going to be contaminated by you at a ball, too."

Hermione chose to ignore him and looked impatiently back at Dumbledore. As soon as everyone stopped talking, the headmaster continued. "Furthermore, we will have a final ball at the end of exams. Just before everyone leaves so they can socialize. It will only be for seventh years, as they are not returning. Prefects younger than seventh year may also attend. You may bring a partner younger than you as long as he or she stays your partner for the night." He smiled at them all. "That is all. I will enlighten the rest of the students about these balls before the feast. Good day."

Headmaster Dumbledore stepped outside and left along with the heads of houses. "Two balls! That's great!" Hermione instantly began rambling on and on about the decorations they should have, what kind of food should be there, how the place would be set up, and everything. "Calm down, Hermione!" Ginny giggled and put a hand on her arm. "It's still a few months away. We have plenty of time to plan it all out." Harry nodded in agreement, his eyes on Ginny. Hermione knew that he was dying to ask her to go with him.

"Looks like we can go back to our compartments." Hermione commented and stood up with the Gryffindor prefects. The three of them walked down the aisle of the train until they found Ron sitting in a compartment. Luna sat across from him and Neville sat next to her. Dean seemed to have disappeared. They all took a seat and began talking about how they thought the year would turn out. It didn't take long for Hermione to spill out Dumbledore's ideas about the balls.

Everyone in the compartment looked delighted. After a while more of explaining everything and wondering who to ask to the ball, their chattering died down. "Hey Hermione." Harry prodded her in the shoulder and held up a little miniature broomstick. It was a Firebolt like Harry's real one. "Know any enchantments to make this thing fly around by itself?" Hermione smiled. "Of course." She dug through her pockets for her wand, but they were all empty. "Have any of you seen my wand?" Everyone shook there heads no.

Hermione sighed and began to worry. "You must've left it in the Heads and prefects compartment." Suggested Ginny. "Yeah, I guess I did." Hermione gave them all a weak smile. "I'll go check." Ron stood up at the same time as she did and offered to go with her. "I'm fine, thanks." She almost ran all the way to the compartment and threw it open.

So intent on trying to find her wand, she didn't realize that Malfoy was sitting there smirking at her. She fell down on her hands and knees and crawled around on the floor, looking under the seats. She was oblivious to the fact that her skirt had flown up and her underwear was visible for Draco to look at.

"Granger, you wear a thong?" He stared at her in surprise, but quickly hid it. Hermione stood and blushed as she pulled her skirt around her. "Mum bought them for me. She insists that I am maturing and should get married soon…" Hermione looked away from Draco the whole time and resumed her search. Draco didn't believe her. What a slut. He watched her occupying herself with trying to find her wand. "Looking for this?" His smirk grew and he took out Hermione's wand from his pocket.

Hermione whirled around and looked immensely relieved. "Yes!" She reached forward and tried to snatch it but Draco moved it out of her reach. He stood and moved so that their bodies almost touched. Smirking down at her, he held the wand just out of her grasp above his head. "Say the magic word." He whispered in her ear. For some reason, he felt an urge to kiss her right then and there. He was disgusted by this and thought that it must have been from knowing that she wore thongs. He snickered inwardly at the thought of blackmailing her with this piece of information.

"Please?" The Head Girl took his distraction as an advantage and jumped up. She successfully seized her wand and grinned. Draco didn't seem to have noticed. He looked like he was in a daze or something. "Hello? Malfoy?" She waved her hand in front of his face. He quite abruptly seized her wrist in a tight grip. "What?" He glared at her for a moment before realizing that he was holding her wrist.

He let go and fell back into the seat. He suddenly seemed to look tired. "Are you.. Okay?" Hermione bit her lip as she rubbed her wrist. "Just leave me alone, Granger." He snapped at her, and she happily left to go back to her friends. They must be wondering what was taking so long. She self-consciously smoothed down her skirt and wondered why in the world she had ever let her mother convince her to wear that damn thong. Now Malfoy would think that she was a slut.

For the rest of the train ride, Hermione was entirely silent and she seemed to be pre-occupied with something. She had been thinking about Draco the entire time and wondering if he would go and blab to the whole world that she wore a thong. It was like him to tell everyone that she was actually slut on the inside. With a sigh, she closed her eyes. She suddenly felt a little sleepy and decided to take a quick nap before arriving at Hogwarts.

Author's Note: So what did you think? Please review and I'll update as soon as possible! I was going to write this whole thing before publishing it because I hate having people want me update when I get writer's block. It totally sucks. But please, please, PLEASE review and I'll love you forever!

To my "New Understandings" readers: I've decided not to write the sequel soon because I don't think that many like it and I'm also tired of having eager readers wait for me to update when I am not in the mood to. Especially when I get writer's block, which is very often. That is all.
