The Last Year

Hey everyone! This is my first fanfiction and i plan for it to go on for at least 20 chapters. In my story Dumbledore was actually captured by Voldemort and hidden till the end of the war and Crabbe is still alive along with all the Weasleys. This chapter is short but that's because you have the power to say what happens in this story. Enjoy!

Hermione smiled to herself as she crossed over to platform 9 ¾. This was going to be the best year so far because she was given the honor of being Head Girl, and now that the war was over she could focus all of her energies on schoolwork.

She was so lost in imagining how wonderful 7th year would be the she walked right into a familiar, infamous blond Slytherin.

"Hey! Watch where you're going, Mudblood!" Draco spat. Crabbe and Goyle, his comrades, laughed stupidly as they passed.

Hermione rolled her eyes. "So much for a perfect year,'' she thought until a short redhead tackled her into a hug.

"Ginny! How are you? Did you get my owls? Hermione squealed as she hugged her friend.

"I'm fine! The train's about to leave so let's hurry and get on and then we can talk," Side by side they ran to catch the scarlet train.

After meeting up with Ron and Harry in one of the compartments, they all told each other about their summers. Soon they all lost track of the time while laughing at each others' stories and only realized that they needed to get their robes on when the castle's sweeping lawns came into view.

"Oh we have to hurry now!" said Hermione. "Here, why don't you guys go to the Gryffindor bathroom and I'll go to the Slytherin one, so it'll be faster."

"Good idea, let's meet back here in 5," Harry said, walking to the front of the train.

Hermione turned to face the Slytherin section of the train and headed to the bathroom with robes in hand. Draco was the only one waiting in line to get dressed. As she reached the door, the train lurched to a stop. Hermione slammed into Draco causing both of then to fall on the ground.

"I know I'm irresistible, but let's try not making running into me a habit." Draco smirked at her as she struggled to come back with an adequate response. She scowled and was about to tell him off when something caught her eye. On the left side of his robe was a badge bearing the words "Head Boy."

"This is not happening," Hermione moaned. She would rather swallow undiluted bubotuber pus than share the Head quarters with Draco Malfoy.

"Get off, Granger. I don't want a Mudblood like you ruining my new robes."

"You insolent prat! Why did you have to be Head Boy?" Hermione asked as she pushed herself off of him.

He had a questioning look in his eyes but then saw the Head Girl badge. His eyes widened for a moment but then relaxed with his famous smirk.

"So I guess we'll really be getting to know each other, huh?" He gave her a sultry wink.

"Don't you dare," Hermione said through her teeth as she pressed the tip of her wand at his neck.

Draco raised his chin just as Blaise and Pansy came out of the bathrooms. They both were a little stunned at first until Hermione lowered her wand and pushed past Pansy to the women's room and slammed the door.

"What was that all about?" Blaise asked Draco who were both staring at the door.

"Nothing," Draco said shortly. He yanked his arm out of Pansy's grasp and walked into the men's room.

After Hermione changed, she returned to the spot where she was going to meet up with her friends and they all walked to the carriages listening to Hermione's story about Malfoy being Head Boy.

"Did you feel his abs when you fell on top of him?" Ginny asked with a saucy grin.

"Seriously, Ginny? My whole year is ruined and you think about his abs?"

"Hey, I'm only human."

"Should I be concerned?" Harry asked, wrapping his arm around his girlfriend.

"Never," Ginny said, giving him a peck on the cheek. Hermione and Ron both winced at this, and made sure to keep their eyes averted from the direction of the lovebirds until the carriages stopped at the front of the school gates.

When they reached Hogwarts they headed to the Great Hall for the annual start-of-term banquet. Before the Sorting Ceremony started, Professor McGonagall told Draco and Hermione to meet in Dumbledore's office after the feast.

Hermione couldn't pay attention during the start-of-term speech nor to what she was eating that night because all she could think about was dreading the rest of the year with the annoying ferret.

"Hurry up Granger!" Malfoy said as the student body stood up and began to exit the Great Hall. He tapped his foot and folded his arms on his chest.

"Ugh. I'll see you later, okay?" Hermione said as she hugged her friends farewell and walked a few feet in front of Draco and out of the Great Hall, towards Dumbledore's office.

"Tootsie Roll," Hermione said to the stone gargoyle, and they rode the stone escalator up to Dumbledore's office in silence. Hermione noted a look of shock and surprise on Draco's face, and guessed that it was his first time in the headmaster's office.

Draco lifted the bronze knocker, and as it fell against the door, they heard Dumbledore's voice.

"You may come in, Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy."

As they walked in, Fawkes the phoenix alighted from his perch, briefly brushing against Draco's face. He startled, and Hermione resisted the urge to laugh at him, instead sitting in one of the chairs across from Dumbledore.

Dumbledore smiled, "Congratulations on becoming Head Boy and Girl of Hogwarts," he paused to push his half-moon spectacles higher up on his crooked nose, " I have a surprise for both of you."

Hey guys should the surprise be that there is actually another head boy to make Draco jealous or that they get to plan the ball together this year? If it's the ball I'll add some type of dare or prank war for them. Thanks and review! (at least 5 reviews till I continue)
