The sun had shown brightly threw Draco's curtains which caused him to wake up. He sat up and looked at the letter beside his bed again 'Head Boy…I wonder why Potter wasn't picked' he thought as he made his way to the shower and started getting ready for his first day back at Hogwarts. Draco Malfoy wasn't his scrawny pale self anymore over the summer and the quidditch practice and training did well on him. Being out in the sun most of the time caused him to get a tan and being on his broom gave him a lot of upper body strength. He looked around the halls for any sign off his parents he sighed when he realized no one was in sight he then made his way to the door and instructed the chauffer to king's cross. The ride there was very short once he arrived he noticed a blonde girl running towards him 'Great…' he sighed.

"Draco!" Pansy shrieked as she ran towards him.

"So Pansy how was your summer," he smirked.

"I was with you the whole time" She leaned up and kissed him on the lips, he didn't like Pansy at all, but it was his parents who had set them up. Meanwhile Hermione was just arriving at King's Cross and for some reason she smiled up as she saw Draco and Pansy 'Cute…I guess' she thought as she stood by the train skimming over the crowd for her friends she noticed some red heads and bolted towards that direction. Draco had watched her smile at him and Pansy 'How weird was that?' he decided to follow her with his eyes.

"Ron!" She threw her arms around him and he patted her back.

"Hello, do I know you," She pulled away at this and shot Ron a confused look.

"Oh! Hermione," He said looking her up and down with a certain expression on his face, "Lookin good," he said with a smile on his face.

The summer did well on Hermione she filled out quite well and got all the right curves. Her hair was also more tame than usual. She began skimming the crowd for her other best friend Harry, but she noticed Malfoy staring at her. He had also changed over the summer into a more built and not so pale Slytherin. She broke her focus when Harry waved a hang in front of her face.

"Are you staring at Malfoy!?" Harry questioned

"No, he was staring at me," She said as she gave her best friend a hug.

"Yeah okay..," he smiled "I can't believe he's going out with Parkinson, you know she cheated on his ass already," Harry said as he loaded Hedwig onto the train.

"With who?" Hermione asked.

"Marcus Flint's younger brother Zachary Flint."

"That's horrible," Hermione waved Ron over to hurry up and get on "Not that I care."

The train ride to Hogwarts was very soothing with the occasional argument Ron had against the trolley lady not ever having enough chocolate frogs.

"Well if you sat closer to the front then maybe I wouldn't have only 2 left when I came all the way back here," She stated

"Your right! Cause if I sat in the front by the time you got back here there wouldn't be any!" Ron yelled as he slid the door in her face and gave himself a questioning look. 'What was that?'

Hermione laughed and returned back staring at the window she noticed Harry staring at her and turned towards him.

"Yes, can I help you," She smiled

"Um no... But there is a spider above your head it's hanging down a couple more inches and he'll be on your hair," He said smiling

"Whatever Harry."

Ron who was stuffing his face full of treats decided to look out of curiosity.

"Oh my God!" Ron yelled as he bolted to the other side of the compartment next to a laughing Harry.

Hermione closed her eyes for she was also scared of spiders, not as much as Ron though. She felt a sudden burst of air on the top of her head and heard a SMACK, Malfoy had killed it.

"What scared of spiders are we Granger," Malfoy said with a sneer.

Ron who noticed Malfoy got off Harry. Hermione opened her eyes and looked right at Malfoy.

"Thank you," She said with a smile.

"What!?" Ron Harry and Malfoy said in unison.

"You heard me", She smirked," Malfoy what do you want?"

The boys snapped out of it and Malfoy spoke up "I don't need your politeness Mud Blood!" He said regaining his place. It's been years and still stung Hermione every time.

"Well what do you want?"

"The Head boy and girl are to be seated up front," with that he left.

"Hasn't Malfoy learned yet not to call you that, it doesn't affect you still, does it?" Harry said as he put a hand on Hermione back.

"No not at all," She lied as she exited the compartment.

Harry stared after her and then remembered Ron.

"Ron? What's wrong with you?"

"Spiders! I don't like them Harry I don't," Ron started looking at every corner in the compartment.

Harry laughed remembering them in their 3rd year. 'I can't believe this is our last year,' he smiled at his friend.

".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".

Hermione made her way to the very first compartment over hearing Parkinson talking with another boy.

"No Draco doesn't know about us he's in the front waiting for Granger," Pansy said as she stroke Zach's Hair

"I'm not scared of him," He thought about it, "Okay so maybe a little he is a Malfoy, after all" he said as he kissed her.

Hermione walked really fast to pass the opened compartment 'slut,' she thought. She reached the very first compartment and she found Draco sitting there staring out the window she sat on the opposite side and did the same.

"Pansy's stupid you know… She honestly thinks I'm too stupid to notice things and it's not like I can't hear her," Draco said aloud and looked at Hermione.

"I'm Sorry what?"

"Don't act stupid Granger I know Pansy's cheating on me with Flint," He said not showing any care in the world, not that he would ever anyway.

Shocked that they were having a civilized conversation and the fact that he knew confused her, but she went along with it.

"Well then why don't you just break up with her," she was shocked at her answer.

"I will….I want to make her Jealous to the point where she regrets ever cheating on me," Draco said with a smirk on his face.

"Why don't you just Avada or Crucio her?" Hermione was shocked at her answer again 'Did I just say that to Malfoy' Draco didn't speak "Okay then," Hermione turned to face the window, but noticed Draco staring at her.

"You know Granger Parkinson is jealous of you," A plan started forming in his mind.

"Why? I'm no one special," She was now confused.

"She's Jealous because she thinks a Mud Blood is prettier then her and she can't have that, but I keep telling her that she is, I wonder why I ever told her that" Draco trailed off.

'Did he just say I was pretty?' Hermione started to smile and Draco noticed this.

"No Granger you are not pretty to me!" She frowned and they sat in silence.

Hermione on the other hand couldn't stop being mad at Malfoy for saying that comment to her then taking it back.

'He's a prick. I can't believe he made it to Head boy, but then again He was in 2nd place to me,' she smiled at that.

The Hog Warts express came to a stop and woke Draco and Hermione up 'Another year,' they both thought. They made their way out to the station signaling all the first years to go to Hagrid and everyone else to the carriages. Hermione shook her head at this and then noticed Harry and Ron who were waiting for her before they got a carriage.

"Hurry up Hermione," Harry yelled.

"I can't ride with you guys I have to wait until the last groups of students leave and on top of that I have to ride with the Head Boy," She replied pointing at Draco leaning against a tree.

"Well have fun Hermione. Let's go I'm hungry," Ron climbed in and patted a spot for Harry.

"He freaks me out at times" Harry told Hermione as she laughed at that comment and walked to where Draco was at. Draco stared Hermione up and down taking in her new looks. Hermione knew what he was doing and turned around with her head cocked to the side.

"Can I help you Malfoy?"

"Yeah," he moved closer to her inches away from her face 'what is he doing' Hermione thought, but yet felt comfortable with the amount of space between them. She looked up and answered "and that would be..."

"Move!" Draco pushed her to the side and climbed into the carriage and turned around to a frustrated Hermione "Well are you coming or not?" She didn't even answer and got inside making sure Draco didn't see her hurt expression.

".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".

As they arrived in the Great Hall they separated to their appropriate tables Hermione hated this part. The sorting it took forever and she could hear Ron's stomach aching for food.

After 50 students were sorted

"Sho how waach the ride wichh Malfoy" Ron Asked.

"What?!" Harry asked.

"My ride with Malfoy was silent," she replied.

"How do you know what he said?"

"Harry we've known him for 7 years almost. You still don't understand Ron with food in his mouth?" She smiled.

"Oh yeah," he began stuffing his face as well.

Hermione couldn't notice Draco glaring at Parkinson and Flint. She was about to comment about it but Dumbledore rose and made his evening announcement.

"Good Evening I have forgot to let you know if any student needs help with anything please go to Hermione Granger or Draco Malfoy for their our Head boy and girl," He smiled " I bid you a due and good night and may I please see The heads at my table," with that he clapped and the food as gone. Even the chicken leg Ron was holding. 'Damn that man,' Ron thought. 'I can hear you mister Wealsey,' Ron Jumped and looked up at a smiling Headmaster.

"I'll see you two later," She hugged them both and bid them a good night.

".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".".

Hermione and Draco arrived at Dumbledore's side. He waved them to follow him he walked up to a portrait of Slytherin Chocking Gryffindor. Dumbledore coughed and they separated, Draco smirked at Slytherin.

"Ah Albus I was just showing Gryffindor a move," he smiled.

"I would have had him if you didn't show up," Gryffindor smiled and so did Hermione.

Dumbledore turned to the two of them. "This is where your common room is there is a bed room for each of you, a library and a portrait where you can visit your houses. So what would you like your password to be?" he looked to Draco then Hermione.

"I don't know," Draco replied.

"How about Dr. Pepper," Hermione said not wondering why she thought of that.

"What is that?" Draco asked and Dumbledore smiled.

"It's a type of drink" She smiled "Unless you have a better one" Draco was silent.

"So it is," Dumbledore waved his want and the portrait swung open and he bid the two good night.

Hermione walked in she couldn't believe how pretty the common room was there were two couches, two desks and two stairs leading up to their bedrooms. Draco on the other hand wasn't over whelmed at all for his houses front yard looked better then this. He led his way to the fire place took out his wand and sparks flew out lighting the wood and sat down on one of the couches. Hermione sat on the other couch and they sat in silence.

Silence

Silence

"Oh my God I can't take it anymore," Draco looked at Hermione wondering what her problem was.

"How can you stay this quiet Malfoy," Not realizing what she just said.

"I'm just thinking" Draco replied.

'About what?'

Draco caught her expression "Well if you must know Miss know it all mud blood I'm thinking about how what am I going to do with Pansy and all," he looked at Hermione who rolled her eyes.

"Must you always call me mud blood?"

Draco couldn't believe her question and looked at her, 'she still gets hurt by that.' he gave a sigh "Look Granger I won't call you a mud blood anymore," She looked up at him "But only on one condition."

She raised her eyebrow at him "Yes."

"I want you to help me make Parkinson jealous."

"WHAT!" She got up and started pacing the room "Why me?"

"Like I told you she's jealous of you."

"So if I do you'll drop the mud blood name?" he nodded "And be more nice to me in a… friend way," She smiled as Draco looked up at her.

"Fine, but I stay the same to the weasel and scar head, is that clear" he held out his hand.

"Crystal clear "She shook it "We'll work on that later" Draco smiled at Hermione little attempt.

"So what do you have in mind" Draco asked her.

"I don't know… You were the one who was thinking" She looked at him 'no clue' she thought before she spoke up "Alright how about we just start hanging out a lot, like the library-"

"Yeah the library will sure make her jealous, Granger" Hermione have him a death stare and he shut up.

"As I was saying we could just hang out library or not just be seen together."

"Would I have to touch you" Draco had put a disgusted face on and remembered their deal and quickly changed it "No… not exactly, like you won't have to hold my hand or hug me or kiss me" She reddened a bit.

"What Granger having a vision of me," he smirked.

She rolled her eyes and sat back down on the couch. 'This was going to be some year' they both thought. Draco and Hermione chatted for a couple more hours about how they plan on doing this and everything. After awhile the headed to bed having the other one on their mind.
