She looked at him awkwardly. Why was he saying those things? Why did she feel things that no one has ever made her feel?
There was a knock on the cabin door that awoke Hermione from her book. The door opened and the head wizard stepped in followed by a
certain platinum blond Slytherin.
"Hello Miss. Granger" He said "Hello Professor" She said glancing from Dumbledore to Malfoy.
"I would like to congratulate you two on a job well done" He said to them.
They looked at him in confusion. He could tell they didn't get their letters so he continued.
"You two have been chosen because of your outstanding high grades to be the Head Boy and Head Girl" he said with a smile.
Smiles spread a crossed their faces. Hermione jumped up and squealed. She gave Dumbledore a hug and gave Draco one too in the spur of the
moment. He hugged her back not realizing it then quickly got back to reality. "Get off me Granger" He yelled "Oh sorry I didn't mean to" She
said looking at the floor.
: Why did I hug him? she asked herself.
"I will see you both in my office before your duties tomorrow night" Dumbledore said as he walked out of the cabin.
Draco waited till Dumbledore's footsteps were no longer heard then spoke up.
"Don't you ever touch me again you filthy mud blood" he said in a cold voice.
"Don't worry I wont" she said then sat down to finish up her book.
"See you in the common room then mud blood" then started towards the door but stopped.
"Oh by the way nice changes you've made like the new wardrobe" he said with a smirk then walked out.
Hermione was left alone and confused. Yes she did change but the last person she thought would notice was Malfoy. She was no longer hiding
behind her books and robes. She had filled out more and had become more curvy. Her hair was no longer Bushy and frizzy and wild but straight
and sleek and soft. She had found a spell before summer started. At that moment she was wearing a tight baby blue long sleeved shirt and a pair
of hip hugger jeans with black Vans.
: This is going to be a long year: She thought. Ron and Harry weren't going to be around this year they were in a foreign exchange thing
somewhere and Ginny was avoiding her for some odd reason. But in away she was happy they were gone then she wouldn't have to worry about
them being over protective. So she was all alone.
Draco's POV:
He followed Dumbledore through the halls of the Train wondering what he had done now to get into trouble. They came to a stop and the
Headmaster opened the cabin door. He followed in and stopped seeing who was in there. None other than Hermione Granger.
: Wow she's changed a lot: He thought. He didn't take his eyes off her till Dumbledore started talking. But Draco tuned him out and kept
glancing at her. He saw her look of confusing and looked at the Headmaster to see what he was saying. "You two have been chosen because of
your outstanding high grades to be the Head Boy and Head Girl" he said with a smile.
A smile spread a crossed his face. He heard Hermione squeal with excitement then give Dumbledore a hug then him. He hugged he back he liked
how she felt against him. : Wait what am I doing? he thought and yelled at her to get off. She said she was sorry and looked hurt. Dumbledore
continued to talk then left the two alone. He waited form him to leave to start a fight between them.
"Don't you ever touch me again you filthy mud blood" he said in a cold voice.
"Don't worry I wont" she said then sat down and picked up a book.
"See you in the common room then mud blood" then started towards the door but stopped he had noticed what she was wearing and decided to
comment.
"Oh by the way nice changes you've made like the new wardrobe" he said with a smirk then walked out.
He had left her confused. He smiled at his accomplishment. He walked down the hall towards his original cabin. He walked in and found Crabbe,
Goyle, and Blaise on one side and Pansy Parkinson on the other.
"I saved you a seat Drackypoo" she said as he sat down in the only available seat. She wrapped her arms around him in a bone crushing hug.
"Pansy get OFF OF ME!" he yelled. She put on a hurt look then sat with her arms folded over her chest glaring out the window.
"So what did Dumbledore want?" Blaise asked "Nothing much just wanted to let me know that im head boy" He said with a smirk.
"Awesome man Congrates, So whos the head girl anyone hot?" Blaise asked with a smile.
"Nah Grangers head girl" He said.
"Hey its not that bad Grangers looking good this year" He said "What are you insane? Its mud blood Granger were talking about here" Draco
yelled "Hey don't yell you might not see it but I do maybe you can put in a word for me" He said winking.
"You've gone bloody insane" HE said moving closer towards the door and further away from them.
The train came to a stop and Draco left to fulfill his duties as head boy as did the head girl Hermione.
They shuffled everyone into carriages. Then hopped into the head carriage. They sat quietly all the way to the castle. They stepped out and was
approached by Magonagall (A/N: spelling.
"Im glad to see you all here and healthy." She said to all the students " Now if you would first years and Heads come with me please. The rest of
you head to the Great Hall"
She turned and the first years followed her with Draco and Hermione on each side of her. They walked into the Great hall and Dumbledore spoke
to them all.
"Welcome back to what i hope will be another great year at Hogwarts. Before we get on with the sorting i would like to introduce this years
Heads Hermione Granger of Griffindor and Draco Malfoy of Slytherin." There was loud applause and whistles then it got silent again as
Dumbledore continued.
"If any first years have any questions then you can ask them their common room is on the 5th floor. That is all for announcements now on with
the sorting" He said and it began. Draco and Hermione made their way to their seats at their tables and watched the sorting. They barely payed
attention. Everyone was happy when the soring was over and food appeared on the table. After dinner Magonagall(A/N: again spelling?) went up
to Hermione and Draco after they ushered everyone safely out of the Great Hall.
"Follow me you two" She said and began to walk to the fifth floor. They reached the portrait it was a beautiful picture of a mermaid swimming
around.
"Password" she said in a bubbly voice. Magonagall turned towards them.
"Your password is Unity" she said. They shook their heads and said it in unison. The portrait opened and they walked in. The common room
red and silver and had a dark green carpet with gold trimming. there was a fireplace on the right wall with two pictures above it of last years
heads. There was a spiral stair case on the left side leading to their personal library. In front of the fireplace was a couch and two chairs and a
table.
"Your rooms are at the end of the hall upstairs your names are on the front and youll find everything put away and to your liking." she said before
walking out. Hermione and Draco walked silently upstairs passed the library there stood three doors the ones acrossed the hall were the bed
rooms the one in the middle was the bathroom they were to share. Hermione walked up tp a wooden door on the right and saw her name in red
with gold trim writing. She grasped the knob and walked in. Inside was a queen size canopy bed and to her surprised it wasnt done in Griffendor
colors instead the walls were a dark purple color with black carpet velvet black curtains. Everything was in its place she even had a radio on her
nightstand that placed all her favorite muggle stations. She turned it on in time to hear "Dance, Dance" by Fall Out Boy and turned it up. She
walked over to the curtains to add some sunshine into her room when she noticed it wasnt a window but a balcony. She walked out and stood
there admiring the view.
Meanwhile in Dracos room he found much of the same only his room had green walls and silky green and silver sheets and a black carpet.
Everything was to his liking so he walked out onto the balcony. There was an amazing view over the lake and forest. It was beautiful. He glanced
to him side and noticed Hermione standing on her balcony her eyes closed as the wind blew in her face and her hair flew. :Merlin, she looks
beautiful: He thought :Wait i did not just think that did i? Yes you did. OH no am i falling for the mudblood? No i cant be shes my enemy i hate
her this cant be good: He said to himself and noticed that she had opened her eyes and was now looking at him as he stared at her. He quickly
looked away and went back inside to think.
Later he left his room to go down stairs to sit by the fire it was about 10:00 pm so he thought that Hermione would be in bed but there she was
sitting on the couch curled into a ball reading. She heard the stairs creak and looked up to see him desending. "Hello Malfoy" she said looking
back at her book.
"Hello Mudblood" he said with a sneer. At that Hermione shut her book and turned to him.
"Why do you have to call me that?" she yelled. She stood up and started to walk away not waiting for his reply but was stopped as he grabbed
her wrist hard and pushed her up against the nearest wall. He was flush against her. She stared into his cold ice blue eyes. "Because i can" He
said through clenched teeth "Your worthless and should respect those higher than you"
She was going to say something but saw his hand go up as he took a step back and she fell to the floor.
"Im sorry please dont hit me" She cried. He looked at her confused and noticed his hand was up but it was only there to silence her not hit her.
"Why would i hit you i may hate you but i would never hit a girl" He said. Hermione couldnt hold back any longer she broke down in tears. He
looked at her wide eyed he hadent meant to make her cry. He had never seen her cry before. He bent down next to her.
"Im sorry" He whispered. She stopped crying and looked at him. :This must be a joke cause He never says hes sorry about anything: She
thought. Then he did something that neither expected he went to pull her into a hug but she flinched. "ow" she said grabbing her shoulder. Draco
backed up and looked at her with curious eyes. He moved forward a bit and lifted her sleeve to see her shoulder. There was a bruisethe size of
his fist. His eyes widened.
"What happened?" He asked more caringly.
"Its nothing" She said quickly covering her shoulder and tried to get past but was stopped.
"That isnt nothing" He said stepping in front of her.
"Really" she said reasuringly "I just dont want to talk about it right now. Can i please go to bed"
He moved out of her way and she went upstairs to her room. He stopped her from closing her door and stood there in the doorway. He moved
into the room and stood in front of her.
"When your ready im here to listen." He said. Then he leaned forward and gave her a friendly hug and kiss on the forehead then turned to leave.
"If you need me remember im right across the hall" He told her then went into his room and closed the door. He leaned against the back of his
door.
:What is wrong with me: He asked himself then he got ready for bed and slipped under the covers and drifted to sleep.
In Hermiones Room:
She sat there on her floor. Her tear streaked face in shock. Her hand was on her forehead where he had kissed her.
:Did that just happen? Did he kiss me? This has got to be a dream: She asked herself. Her stomach was filled with butterflies. But could she trust
him? Maybe this was another sick joke to tell his friends. Thoughts filled her head as she got dressed and climbed into bed.
:If this isnt a joke maybe things will be looking up for me after wards: She thought :With Him gone and Draco to protect me, Ill be ok: She smiled
to herself and drifted to sleep.
