Disclamer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter character all the credit goes to J.K Rowling :)

For Luda, because I know how much you love fan fictions :)

Third Person POV

*Flashback

"Ahh, come to enjoy the show have we?" Draco joked,

"YOU! You foul, loathsome, evil, little cockroach!" Hermione raised her wand straight to Draco's worried and very scared looking face.

"Come on Hermione, he's not worth it." Ron said causing Hermione to relax and think about what her best friend had said.

Draco relaxed as she lowered her wand and started to turn away. He started to laugh as he regained his usual, cocky and over confident attitude. Big Mistake. Hermione turned and..

BAMN!

She broke his nose.

*End of Flashback

Draco smiled as he lifted his Hogwarts letter to read what he would be needing this year. he and some other students were going back to retake their 7th year at Hogwarts to fully complete their studies in order to find jobs next year. He was aware many of the students he had previously attended school with were either dead or convicted death eater and so were now awaiting trial. He wasn't one of these student as his father had confessed his wrongs and was sentenced to a lifetime in Askaban. Him and his mother now lived a much happier and brighter life without him in their lives. It was then that Draco realised he had an extra piece of parchment in his envelope this year. He pulled it out to read:

Dear Draco Lucius Malfoy,

I am pleased to inform you that after much consideration and review of your perfect scores in tests and subjects from your time at Hogwarts. We have decided reward you with the position of Head Boy. I know of your mischievous behaviour and tendency to break into violence so I hope you will use this oppurtunity to change your life as well as the lives of the younger children who will now look up to you.

Yours Sincerely, M. Mcgonagall

Draco almost choked on his pumpkin juice. His mother looked over her spectacles with a worried look on her face.

"I'm Head Boy" Draco whispered quietly to himself. His mother looked at him questioningly.

"I'm Head Boy!" he said slightly louder so his mother could hear. Narcissa looked at her son as a look of complete amazment took over his face, she smiled. He would be a great Head Boy.

*Meanwhile at the Burrow.

"Why are you going back, Hermione?" Ron aqquired while scoffing down 2 pieces of toast. Hermione wrinkled her nose in disgust but look at the other curious faces in front of her all asking the same qusetion even though it was silent.

Hermione was going back because she like Ron and Harry, had been offered a job as a Auror and many still to work for the ministry, even one, asking her to run for Minister Of Magic. However she felt this wasn't the career she wanted to pursue and felt that another year at Hogwarts may help her figure out where she wished to go from there.

"Because, Ronald, I feel I need to go back to catch up on the stuff I missed because of the war, you know I would hate if I had missed something important!"

"Hermione, you're the cleverest witch of your age! How much more do you want to learn?!" Ron asked with a alarmed look on his face.

Hermione sighed,

"Well Ronald if I am the cleverest witch of my age than I think that gives me a perfect reason to want to study so I can maintain my reputation as the brightest witch of my age!"

Ron looked shocked, Harry smiled,

"Well you have a good year, make sure to tell Mcgonagall that I will popping in for a tranfiguration lesson or two!"

Hermione smiled, she knew that ever since the end of the war, Harry had been missing Sirius a lot and so decided to become a animagus like Sirius was. Ron just looked defeated. Hermione and Harry started to laugh at Ron as he turned red at their laughter a letter fell out of Hermione's Hogwarts envelope. She stopped laughing and picked it up.

Dear Hermione Jean Granger,

After much consideration and a review of your immaculate results from when you joined Hogwarts seven years ago, I have decided that you are most suitable for the position of Head Girl from all the other candidates. I hope you will use this opportunity to show of your great leadership skill and influence the first years in the best way.

Yours Sincerely, M Mcgonagall.

Hermione's faced broke out into the widest grin ever as she finished reading the enlightening letter that made her feel as if there a purpose in her life. To go to Hogwarts and help the new students who are completely oblivious and may help her to forget about the nightmare she had recently survived.

Ron realised that the room had gone silent as everyone settled to finish their breakfast. he looked over at Hermione who, he now realised was "grinning like a chesire cat", a phrase he did not quite understand but had got the jist of during the holidays when Hermione gave him an hour lecture on it.

"Whats up, Hermione? You look like you like you have just became the Minister of Magic!"

"Actually Ronald, you'll find I have been awarded with the privilige of being the new Head Girl!"

"Oh My God! Thats great, Hermione! I am so proud of you!" Ginny, Hermione's best friend shouted across the table.

"I think we should go shopping to celebrate!" She added. Hermione smiled she knew Ginny way too well to think she wouldn't have to go shopping but she didn't mind she needed a new school uniform anyway. She couldn't wait to return.
