I do not own anything in the HP world.
She was so excited to be back at Hogwarts. The school was finally rebuilt from the war and was looking better than ever. She couldn't wait to finish school and start her job at the Ministry of Magic.
Headmistress Mcgonagall had appointed Hermione as Head Girl for her final year, but she had yet to find out who was going to be head boy. Since the job typically goes to people in their 7th year, the students who were returning for the 8th year would also be able to be picked and were even picked first. Although there wasn't many students from her year and Ron both took jobs at the Ministry right after the war. Hermione wanted to finish her education since she had worked so hard while in school. She couldn't see herself not finishing what she started.
She walked up to the Head's dormitory door. When you are Head Boy and Girl, you got your own apartment. Each had their own room and bathroom, but shared a common area that included a living room and a small kitchen. The walls were the same grey stone that was all over the castle and there was a couch, a coffee table and a comfy looking chair that would be nice to read on.
She went to the room that she would be occupying and flung open the door. It was a nice sized room, with a bed, a nightstand and a desk with a chair. She was allowed to bring her own comforter from home, something that she wasn't allowed to do in past years. She was actually really excited to decorate her own room. She had always loved having her own space at home, since she was an only child, she had her own room there. Then having to share a dorm room with 6 other girls every school year, wasn't her favorite.
She started to unpack her trunk and put them in the dresser that was in the corner of the room. With her undetectable expansion charm, she was able to pack a lot more than she would be able to in the small trunk. She placed her books in the bookcase in alphabetical order and placed the pictures of Harry and Ron, and the one of her parents and her in France from a few years ago, on her nightstand.
She missed her parents greatly. Hermione had located them in Australia and brought them back to London. Before she was to come back to school, she was working on their memories. She was getting closer to getting them to remember her and the life they once had, but it was still hit and miss at times. They were seeing a doctor to help with regaining them while Hermione was at school this year. She hoped that it would go well and she would receive updates from the doctors once a week.
After she had everything put away, she laid down in her bed. It was quite comfortable, which she was happy about. She could never sleep on hard beds and they always gave her a backache and a crick in her neck. She found herself dozing off and started dreaming of the Summer before she came. Her and Ron decided that they would work better as just friends. They fought constantly as a couple and decided that they still wanted to be friends. If they were to stay together, they would lose that.
In the dream, she was in the same room with Ron that she told him she wanted to only be friends. At first he was upset, but then agreed that it was for the best. The tears were running down her face again; just because she knew it was for the best, didn't mean it wasn't sad for her. She pictured herself marrying Ron and having kids with him, but they brought out the worst in each other when they were dating. He was all she wanted since fourth year and hadn't thought of anyone else the same way that she did about Ron. But she was determined to change that this year. She would date.
She felt a hand on her shoulder shake her slightly.
"Granger," the voice said.
" Hmmmm…" she responded, yet to open her eyes.
" Hey, Granger, wake up." The familiar voice said. Her eyes flew open and met the silver gaze of Draco Malfoy.
" What in the Hell Draco! Why are you in my room?" She yelped, swatting at his hand
" Actually, this is supposed to be my room."
" You have got to be joking! I'm already unpacked."
" It's fine, I will have the other room, I just wanted to let you know that I was here."
" Wait… You're the Head Boy?" She stared in disbelief.
" Um, yeah," he said scratching his neck. " They thought it would be good for me, after all that happened last year." She was surprised by this. His mom and he were pardoned from the Ministry of Magic. They were just doing what they did to save their lives. Lucius was convicted for crimes against muggle born wizards. He was sentenced to life in Azkaban.
Draco had actually attempted to make amends with some people, Hermione being one of them. She could no longer despise him for the things he had done in the war, but she still didn't like him for how he had treated her the entire time they were in school. But being the mature person she was, she was going to have to be civil with him, seeing as they would be living in the same apartment.
" Well thank you. It would be a pain to have to move everything to the other room."
" Don't mention it. I will be unpacking my stuff, if you need anything,"
" Alright," she said as he left the room. She didn't know how this living arrangement would go, but she hoped that it wouldn't end in disaster.
