HERMIONE'S POV

Head girl. I can't believe it. I mean obviously I can believe it I was the best student for seven years running. But still. "I can't believe it!" I shouted to Ron and Harry, jumping up and down and clapping while they beamed at me. Then I pulled them both into a hug, standing on my tip toes, I couldn't believe how tall they had gotten. The applause in the great hall was calming down so I took my badge from Professor McGonagall and sat back down still beaming. "And finally the head boy... Draco Malfoy" One side of the room erupted in cheers while the other tables clapped half heartedly "Bad luck 'Mione" said Ron in my ear. "No worries it's not like I haven't dealt with him before" that's what I said but then something weird happened. After having shaken McGonagall's hand and taken the badge Malfoy turned, looked directly at me, grinned and winked. That wasn't the weird part, its Malfoy, patronizing is in his blood. The weird part was that I blushed. I mean properly looked down, 'oh my god the cute guy winked at me' blushed! I mean I had noticed that much like Harry and Ron, Draco had lost all of his young podge, was significantly tall and even had the beginnings of a six pack appearing where there was once just skinny ferret flesh. But still it's not like I was attracted to him!

"The Head girl or boy of each house is expected to attend weekly meetings and to work together on upcoming events. The first of which will be this year's senior prom." there was a wave of mutters spreading through the great hall. There had never been a senior prom in Hogwarts before, there had been the Yule ball in year 4 but other than that balls were only for special occasions. "This may come a surprise to you but as you know we are a school of change. Many of our neighbours such as the baubatons take on this primarily muggle tradition as a celebration of the achievements of their students and I am happy to follow their lead on this matter as we have seen some of the most promising witches and wizards of our age these past few years. Heads I defer to you. The prom is fully your responsibility." McGonagall smiled at me, lifted her goblet and the feast, as it always did, appeared on the table.

Just my luck I suppose that Malfoy would be made Head Boy. He looked as miserable as I felt at that point. I picked up the booklet which had been given to us. We were in charge of theme, decorations, location, time and finance. I have to say I was glad; it had been a while since I had been able to do anything particularly creative. The only problem was that I just knew that it would end up with me doing all the work while Malfoy sat around insulting me or criticising my work. I couldn't deal with that, if we were going to work together for the next year we had to work together. "Ok Draco listen up. How about we call this whole" I did air quotes "'I hate you and everything you are' thing? Just during Planning and meeting time. I'm not saying we be friends but maybe we could learn to tolerate each other" I tried as hard as I could to smile and managed a sort of half-hearted grin. For a minute I thought he was going to say something along the lines of 'get away from me you mud blood' but he didn't instead he held out his hand and said "alright granger. Truce" we shook hands. There it was, 6 years of abuse passed over and moved to one side by one handshake. I couldn't help but notice that his hands were surprisingly warm and from how close I was standing I could see just how blue his eyes actually were.

We walked to the Library together, both holding a box of notepads, pencils, coloured pens, enchanted sketching quills and paper in every colour imaginable. We found an empty table by the window right at the back of the library, in an alcove with a window seat. I had spent many hours sat there with a paperback and a hoodie. "This is the best table in the place" said Draco. I looked at him and did a slight grin "I was just thinking that." We sat down together and started brainstorming. His first idea was of a mafia theme which I rebuffed with a Love through the Ages theme to which he put two fingers in his mouth and made retching noises. Eventually we decided to make a brainstorm each then went over the ideas until we had a list of 5 possibilities.

The whole thing took about an hour and through that hour something I thought to be impossible happened. I actually got on with Draco Malfoy. We continued to talk about books and food and people around school. It was strange, almost as though we were friends. I learnt that he had read 'Hogwarts a History' 3 times (I have read it 6 times) and that he spent most of last years summer holiday in the garden of his French villa reading through the entire 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holms' Collection. "Sherlock Holms? As in the muggle detective best seller Sherlock Holms?" I asked. He grinned "one and the same" he looked at me with a searching smile "I suppose you thought I wouldn't even think about reading muggle literature would you?" he was right, so I didn't answer. "Obviously my father doesn't really agree with me going anywhere near it but since he and mother are out most of the time that we are abroad I get the villa to myself." For a moment I could picture him, sitting in the sun in a pair of sunglasses, a chilled beer in one hand and 'A case of identity' in the other. I shook my head and looked up at the gilded clock just above the window and gasped "Oh My God!" Malfoy turned around to follow my eyes "what?...CRAP!" we had been in the library for 4 hours and were five minutes late for assembly. We didn't bother moving our stuff but just got up and started running towards the great hall. I was just turning a corner when he grabbed hold of my hand and pulled me back, I thought he was trying to pull of some sort of stunt so I struggled but then stopped and pressed a stone in the wall which opened up and showed a passage way. He held out his hand to help me into the tunnel I hesitated and he frowned "look I promise no funny business this brings us up behind the tapestry on the south wall of the great hall." I took about two seconds to think about it and took his hand. We ran like two crazy people through the tunnel, his hand was still wrapped around mine and the thought of letting go hadn't even crossed my mind.

We came out as he had said, behind the tapestry on the south wall of the great hall. Peeking out of the side I could see two free seats at the back of the hall. It would take two steps to get there. McGonagall was giving out merits for academic achievement to the Year 4 class. We waited until she had finished then ran out and sat down as the hall applauded. It seemed as though no one except the girl we had ended up sitting next to noticed our late arrival. "thank you for joining us Miss Granger, Mr Malfoy." But of course McGonagall never misses a thing. The whole room turned around to see us in our little corner. Malfoy lent ever so slightly towards me and whispered "Relax. Just look forward as though they weren't there." He tapped my hand and I didn't even have to think about it. Harry or Ron would have been able to tell you straight off how much I hate an audience, so at that point I was happy to do what I was told. I sat up straight, looked straight ahead and did my best impression of Draco's signature steely expression. The crowd eventually turned back to the headmistress who was nice enough not to mention our lateness again; in fact she went as far as to compliment the new heads on their handling of the first week.

When the assembly was finished about 10 minutes later I took the opportunity to stop Draco in the crowd. "thanks." I said as the thousands of students streamed past us. He smiled, something we didn't often see from Draco especially towards me, and patted me on the shoulder "well I suppose us heads have to stick together. Don't get used to it though. We are still rivals you know, I'm not switching houses." I smiled and adjusted his slightly wonky 'Head Boy' badge and said "I wouldn't expect you too Draco." Then walked off with a little spring in my step and a flick of my hair. I could hear the familiar voice of reason in my head "Hermione? Were you just flirting with Draco Malfoy?" I grinned to myself and thought "no of course not. I wouldn't do that. Would I?"

Hope you enjoyed it. Please Review. next chapter coming soon :)
