Hermione's POV

Why do I have to be stuck with him?All he does is practically make me and my family's life hell. Hermione thought as she and her sister Crystal sat near the black lake.

"Minoe,"Crystal's sweet voice cut through her thoughts, "Hermione,are you listening to me?"

"Sorry,I was miles away. What were you saying?"

Crystal looked at her as if she had gone insane but then she continued, "I was saying that you're with Draco this year,so I was wondering if you wanted me to come and visit a lot so you don't have to deal with him."

"Uh,yeah sure. Hey,I really got to go,I have to go and check the rosters for the housing for this year. They said that all sixth graders have to be mixed up. You might,hopefully,get to be with Pansy. I still don't get why you're friends with a Slytherin but I guess it's your choice,I'll check if you get to be with her ok. See you at dinner."

Before her sister got to answer she was gone. I have to keep myself busy, she thought over and over again. Hermione didn't like the first day of school. There were no classes,no homework,nothing to keep her mind busy but to go to the library or to check for prefect's things.

What made her edger today was that tomorrow would be her first day living with Draco Malfoy,Slytherin's prince,Slytherin's sex god and her sister's ex boyfriend. I did warn her not to be with him,she thought grimly. Crystal and Draco were together for three years until he told her his plan to follow his father's footsteps and become a Deatheater. Hermione pushed her thoughts away and check the roster. Crystal had been paired up with Justin. Who's Justin?. She thought.

"Mione, is that you?I've missed you so much." A familiar voice chimed

"Hey Ron, yeah I've missed you too. Where's Harry?"

"Oh his just gone down to the black lake to look for Crystal,he wants to tell her about what he heard the new guy say about her." Ron said looking her up and down

"There's a new guy?What did he say about her?"

"Yeah,apparently his in Slytherin and his already friends with Malfoy's crowed. His name is Justin and well Harry and I heard him say that he ran into a girl named Crystal and she was hot."

Hermione felt faint after hearing that. She wanted to get away from this news. Hermione has tried to keep Crystal away from boys,well except Harry and Ron because Harry treats her like a little sister and well Ron and I have already told each other that we like each other but we're not even going out yet.

"Listen Ron,I need to go to the library. You know last minute things so I'll meet you three at dinner." Then she was gone.

Draco's POV

Why me? Me and Granger,that's gonna be fun! Draco thought. Maybe I'll be able to talk to her about Crystal.

"Hey man,can I sit here?" A voice said and Blaise hit Draco's shoulder. Draco looked up to see a boy about his age. The boy wanted to sit with his group.

"Man take a sit,anyone from Slytherin is welcome here. What's ya name?" Draco asked

"Justin Snow. Just got kicked outa Dumstrung now I'm here. This place has a lot of hot chicks around here." Justin said,looking around.

"Yeah but the hottest one here is Granger's sister." Blaise said smirking.

"Which she dumped Draco." Crabbe said trying not to laugh.

"They were together for three years until...." Goyle trailed off when he saw Draco's face.

"So what's her name?" Justin asked in an interested voice.

"Crystal. Crystal Granger." Draco said quickly.

"Yeah I've meet her. She's hot and not to mention smart and man no wonder your upset talk about her."

"Why would you say that?" Draco asked slightly annoyed. Justin just patted his back and started talk with Blaise in some intense conversation about heavy metal bands. I'm dreading this year already,Draco thought,Maybe I'll see who Crystal's paired up.

Draco peered at the roster and with great dismay saw who she was with. Granger,Crystal and Snow,Justin. This was worse then a nightmare,it was actually happening. Then he skimmed down to a few other people.

Granger,Hermione and Malfoy,Draco.

Malfoy,Samantha and Potter,Harry.

Malfoy,Vanessa and Wesley,Ginny

Malfoy,Heath and Longbottom,Neville.

Lovegood,Luna and Malfoy,Jacob.

All his brother's and sister's got someone they didn't want too. It made Draco a little bit happy to know he wasn't the only one in his family to live with someone for a year he didn't like.

Hermione's POV

At dinner Hermione sat at the Giffendor table with Crystal beside her talking madly with Ginny about their new room mates.

"I don't even know this dude Justin." Crystal complained,

"Crissy,wasn't he the one who you accidentally ran into while you were ran today?" Ginny asked.

"Oh yeah,I remember him. He was pretty cute. Who did you get Gin?"

"Vanessa Malfoy. I hate this year already."

Both girls stopped talking as professor Dumbledore said how this year was different to other year's and how it was special to meet other people for all those in sixth grade and that Hogwarts had a new Slytherin sixth grader. Hermione stopped listening until she heard Dumbledore say, "As a result I will be leaving this year with professor McGonagal. Professor Snape will be headmaster while I'm gone. Please treat him as you would treat me."

Everyone erupted in cheers from the Slytherin's and boos from Giffendor table,Hufflepuff table and Ravenclaw table. Hermione didn't know what professor Dumbledore was talking about,leaving Snape headmaster was insane. Why was he leaving anyway? Once the food was out people were to hungry to protest about anything. Everyone was to busy stuffing their faces. Hermione didn't eat,she just sat and stared at the Slytherin table.

Draco's POV

This is going to be the best year ever. I'll be able to do things to Potter and Wesley as much as I want. I'll be able to put Granger under imperious so she can tell Crystal everything I want to tell her and I won't get into trouble. Good old Snape Headmaster. I can see that I'm going to really enjoy this year,Draco thought to himself while stuffing a pile of chicken legs on his plate.

"Draco,are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Blaise said after taking a sip of pumpkin juice.

"Well,somewhere along the same lines. Where do you want to start?"

"Come on man,you know where. I want you to be happy before we do anything else."

They both nodded at each other then they started working on a plan for Draco to get Crystal back.

Something was bothering Draco as he and Blaise were talking. He looked up to see Granger starring. His eyes darted from Hermione's cold stare to Crystal's beautiful smile then back. It pained him to know that Crystal was better off without him but he couldn't help it. He needed her.
