It was a quiet evening in the Melfoy Manor as Draco was lying in bed thinking about his recent trial. With the dark lord now gone forever he and his family had to stand trial again but he didn't remember the last trial as he was just an infant, but Draco's mind wasn't just on the trial but also Hermione Granger and why she was so nice to him after all the horrible things he had done and said to her. he was so deep in thought that he hadn't noticed the house elf standing at the door until he heard it call"Master Draco a letter has arrived for you from Hogwarts"

"bring it here then Colin" he said sitting up as the house elf walked over to him and he took the letter he asked "would you grab my trunk from the closet and also bring me up something to eat?"

"yes master" said the elf as he left Draco opened the letter and began to read

Dear Mister Melfoy

I would like to congratulate you on becoming Head Boy for you are the eldest among your class mates this year along with Miss Granger who happens to be Head Girl. I know you both don't quite get along but I hope maybe after everything that has happened you would both be kinder. I look forward to seeing you again your class schedule is on the next page along with the stationary list.

Sincerely Professor Mcgonagall

Draco looked over the school list thinking how much it would all cost not like money was the problem not for him anyway.


Hermione was sitting on the couch in the living room talking to Ginny on the phone when an owl came swooping in dropping a letter on her lap "Hey Ginny I'll call you back later, i just got my letter from Hogwarts" she hung up the phone and as she read the letter she couldn't stop the massive grin spreading across her lips she had wanted to be head girl so badly she couldn't wait to tell Ginny as she continued to read she noticed Draco would be head boy which kind of worried her but maybe he had changed but she doubted it a lot she thought whilst dialing Ginnys number. she had just gotten off the phone as her parents walked in "Hermione darling are you home?" her mother called "In here Mom" she said looking back down at her stationary list and schedule "So whats the verdict, anything good?" her mother asked she looked at her mother and squealed "I'm going to be head girl"

"Oh Hermione congratulations we'll go out somewhere special for diner tonight so go get ready okay honey?" her mother said sweetly "sure thing Mom"

As she got ready for dinner thought about what to wear she ended up choosing a black dress with black flats but decided against wearing makeup as she headed downstairs to her waiting parents "you look lovely Hermione" her mother said smiling "shell we go?" Hermione smiled nodding.


Draco got up out of bed the next morning calling his house elf "Colin"

"Yes master" he said

"Would you get me some coffee?" he asked grimly

"of course master" said the elf disappering then the elf came back with a jug of coffee and a mug for him he took them both and dismissed the elf's he slowly started to pack for school feeling excited about going back and when he gets to see Hermione and apologize for everything.


It was a warm morning the sun was shining and Hermione had everything packed and ready for the long train ride to Hogwarts but she didn't mind her friends would be there except for her best friends and now ex boyfriend but she was glad Ginny would be there with all the others she missed dearly and she couldn't wait to tell her friends about what she did in the summer but it could wait there was a long drive to the station. Hermione had just gotten out of the shower as she changed into a nice white blouse and denim skinny jeans and her black flats, as she left the bathroom for the last time until summer she smiled sadly grabbing her trunk and bags putting them in the car she put Crookshanks in his cat carrier and grab her owl placing both by the door then went to join her parents for breakfast "good morning dear we made your favourite for breakfast" said her mother "oh thanks Mom Dad it's perfect" she said sitting down beginning to eat once she had finished she put her dish in the sink and they left for the station. Once they arrived she said goodbye to her parents before entering the platform as she hurried to find a good seat on the train when she realised she had her own compartment so she slowly walked down with her ginger cat mowing to be released as soon as she got there she let him out smiling at the cat giving him a pat.


Draco climbed aboard the train looking for the head boy compartment where he came across Hermiones compartment she was preoccupied with playing with her cat so he knew she hadn't seen him as he opened the door to his compartment he realised they had a prefect meeting so he went back to Hermiones compartment knocking on the door opening it slightly saying "hey we have a meeting with the prefects" as she smiled and said "alright you lead the way" as they left the compartment he felt something strange forming in his stomach which made his heart race. He was glad when Hermione took over the meeting as he didn't know what the hell to say so he just stood there watching her.


Once Hermione had finished she went back to her compartment changing into her robes as the train got closer to the school the more excited she got she couldn't wait to see everyone again it was all really exciting.
