A/N: I'm re-writing this because I started this story when I was about 16, and it's horrible. So, because I love my readers oh so much, I'm going to fix it up and maybe add some stuff to it! I am posting all of the new chapters together so no one gets confused. Hope you enjoy the changes!

Chapter 1

It was their seventh year, of course Hermione was Head Girl; she had expected to get that since fifth year. But she had a difficult time trying to figure out who the Head Boy would be, none of the Weasley's or Harry came up with any reasonable candidates either.

Ginny held onto her brother as he, Harry, and Hermione apparated to Platform 9 nine and ¾ and made their way to the train. In passing, Hermione noticed Draco Malfoy smirk in her direction, but say nothing to any of them.

I wonder what that was all about. Shaking the thought from her head she boarded the train with her friends and made her way to the Head's compartment. Opening the door she noticed the Head Boy hadn't arrived yet so she made herself comfortable in a seat and pulled out a book.

"Why are you always reading?"

Hermione gave a small scream as she jumped out of her literature and back into reality. "I guess it's my escape." She answered. Why does he care? "So you're Head Boy, Malfoy. This is going to be an interesting year." Her voice slightly sarcastic.

"Tell me about it, Granger." Placing his trunk on the overhead rack he also sat down. "Be according to the Prophet the Ministry is trying to pass a new law this year for Hogwarts students. The article didn't go into too much detail but it did say something about only seventh years."

"So the law requires we be of age for something." Hermione's interest peaked. "Suppose it's some stupid rule about uniting the houses, how would you feel about that?" She laughed lightly.

"Well, you wouldn't really know how I would feel about it because you've never taken the time to ask." Hermione looked at him guiltily. "But you're right, I do think Slytherin is the best House out of the four.

"We should probably change into our robes so we can get on with the prefect meeting." Hermione promptly said trying to not initiate a fight.

Draco left with his robes, giving Hermione the compartment to change in. Just as she was finished getting dressed there was a knock on the compartment door. After being told to enter, Draco walked in followed by the prefects from each house.

"You all know why we're here," Hermione started out. "We all have certain responsibilities this year and must fulfill our duties as required."

"You will all get patrol schedules with your class schedules tomorrow but for now you have to go patrol the train. No points are to be deducted and no detentions are to be given out, you're just here to make sure no one gets killed on the ride." Draco finished. After asking if there were questions, the prefects left the compartment making it feel empty to the two students left.

"This seems like it could be an easy year to be a Head." The brunette said re-opening her book with a content look on her face.

Draco pulled out a copy of the Daily Prophet and tried to act like he was interested in what was going on in the world. Occasionally, his gaze would shift slightly to the girl across from him. He couldn't help but notice how well she had filled out over the summer, how tan her legs were and how smooth they looked. She had actually learned to do something with her hair that made it look presentable, and he decided that all together she looked beautiful.

Did I really just think that Hermione Granger looks beautiful? Being surprised with himself took Malfoy's brain out of its own thoughts just in time to hear Hermione say something.

"Looks like we'll be arriving soon," She said standing up. "Might as well get ourselves together so we can help Hagrid at the platform."

After she said that three things happened: The train's brakes caused the girl to fall into Draco's lap, in return Draco said something stupid and embarrassing, and Hermione ran out leaving the book she had been reading on her seat.

I cannot believe I said that! "I know I'm hard to resist Granger but you're coming on too fast for me." How debonair am I? He seethed while helping people get themselves in the right direction.

"First years: stay on the platforms, everyone else: you know where to go." He called to the throng of students exiting the train.

"I guess I'll wait for you on the platform like a first year then." Blaise joked as he stepped off the scarlet train and, just to be a smart-ass, stood with the first years.

When the last person had left the train Draco stepped off and made his way towards the carriges.

"So," Zabini started out. "You get to spend the whole year with Granger."

"We heard you get to spend the year with Malfoy, good luck." Ron said butting in front of both Ginny and Hermione to get on the horse-less carriage.

"Well, how was everyone's holiday?" Harry asked after helping the girls and trying to shake off Ron's lack of manners.

"Mine was great, went to plenty of football games,." Dean said with a smile on his face.

"I still don't understand how you can like that game, Dean, I mean, the players don't even fly or anything!" Ron's voice was adamant every time they had this conversation. Hermione and Harry tried to ignore the now rising voices of their peers and started talking about how they hoped their classes would go this year.

"I really hope we have all of our classes together." Harry said.

"Me too," Hermione responded "Although I'll have a few that you lot won't." she finished as Ron helped her out of the carriage.

Hermione brushed off the backside of her robes as she noticed a flash of blond walk past. Following it with her eyes she sighed inwardly, this was going to be a difficult year.

"Hermione," Ginny smirked. "Were you just gaping at Malfoy?" The young girl whispered as they walked.

"Why would I do such a thing Ginny?" Hermione let the corner of her mouth drift upwards in a slight smile. "I mean he's public enemy number one and I have to live with him this year."

"This is true, but that also gives you the entire year to maybe find out that deep down he's a sweetheart and to ravish him every night without cause." The girls laughed as they sat at Gryffindor table. Even through Dumbledore's speech, Hermione caught herself staring across the room.

A/N: So here's the re-written first chapter, hopefully it only gets better from here. Please review!
