Chapter 1
Hard Skins, Soft Hearts.
Loud churning and clanking were heard as the Hogwarts Express pulled up at Kings Cross Station letting out the mob of students.
Hermione Granger was one of them, she had tied up her uncontrollable frizz into a tight high ponytail with one bang of hair loose at the front framing her face. She stepped off the train and walked forward while looking for her trunk. On her shoulder and curling around her neck sat a very content Crookshanks. She stepped forward and quickly got knocked back as a very angry Malfoy pushed past her.
"Watch it Mudblood!" Draco sneered running his free hand through his hair. Hermione scowled and watched as an orange blur leapt off her shoulders straight at Malfoy's face.
"MUDBLOOD!" Draco screamed as Crookshanks decided his skin was too pale and some red would do it good. Hermione smirked and stepped forward calmly pulling off her hissing spitting comrade. Draco gave her one last scowl before turning around and marching out through the barrier robes billowing behind him.
"Good baby," Hermione whispered stroking Crookshanks getting a loving purr in return. Hermione turned to walk down to find her trunk not before her eyes darted to Pansy who casually leaned back against the wall one foot supporting her. Hermione's eyes lifted to see a placid smile drifting on her face. That's right, not a smirk, or a scowl. But a geniune smile, Hermione grinned at this and continued walking down the train.
Pansy ran her free hand through her shoulder length ebony hair, her eyes cast downward suddenly looked up meeting eyes with none other than Granger. Pansy noticed the large 'cat' sitting on her shoulder nuzzling into her neck. She had seen Granger's confrontation with Malfoy and had decided that, Crookbanks or whatever had earned itself some respect points in her book. A soft smile ran across Pansy's face as the beast turned to look at her and smile? Pansy blinked but Granger was already on her way down the train platform.

The summer had been long for Hermione, with the Weasley family in India and Harry un-contactable it left little to do. Besides studying, and that was something she could do. Hermione let out a long yawn and pulled out her advanced charms text book and began to browse the pages. Her eye caught a straightening charm and her face lit up.
"How could I have missed this…" Hermione mused opening the page and reading every detail about it.
"Seata singulus!" Hermione whispered pointing her wand at her head and flicking her wrist twice counterclockwise. Hermione felt a tingling sensation as she walked over to her mirror and watched the sleeky strands fall off her shoulders and down her back. Hermione smiled and walked back over towards her text book and closed it. She reached down to pick it up and a slip of parchment fell out from the last pages.
Hermione reached down and scanned the parchment.
Great idea for any Wizarding family, the perfect gift for Christmas!
Just a small chant and three strands of your hair in sacrifice and poof! Your favourite fluffy pet will suddenly be allowed to talk!
Chant "citatio" three times while holding him or her for it to work!
Hermione's eyebrow quirked up and her lips pressed together making a thin line.
"Crookshanks?" Hermione called before setting her gaze on the sleeping lump on the bed. Hermione gingerly walked over and picked up the sleeping lump before pulling out her wand and beginning the chant.
"Citatio, Citatio, Citatio!" Hermione chanted her eyebrows knitted together in fierce concentration. She pulled out three hairs and wrapped them around the pulsing wand. A bright blue light erupted from her wand and went down into the mouth of Crookshanks.
"What the?" Crookshanks mumbled sleepily before nuzzling back into Hermione's arm.
"Crookshanks! You can talk!" Hermione exclaimed running over to her bed and placing the now sleeping cat.
"Huh? I could always talk!" Crookshanks said sitting up.
"Wow! This is amazing, I've never heard of a spell to do this before." Hermione said reaching out to pat the purring beast.
"I have, my last owner made it up." Crookshanks mumbled giving what could be called the cat equivalent of a shrug.
"Who was that?" Hermione asked sitting next to Crookshanks on the bed and crossing her legs.
"Don't remember, too many years ago…" Crookshanks mumbled nudging Hermione's leg making a slow rhythmic stroke begin.
"Amazing…" Hermione whispered continuing the long strokes down Crookshanks' back.
The last weeks of the holidays went by like a blur for Hermione and Crookshanks. For a pet Hermione never knew how many observations she missed out during school and in her work. Realising that the last owner of Crookshanks was indeed some kind of Scholar Hermione's interest and questions perked up but were shunned by lack of memory.
"Which jeans?" Hermione asked walking over to her wardrobe and opening the doors.
"Bubblegum with Tommy Hilfiger jacket and red polo shirt." Crookshanks replied lazily batting around Hermione's wand with his paw. Hermione had realised a long time ago that the part kneazle was her personal fashion guru, and anything he didn't like she wouldn't buy.
"So you ready to go back?" Hermione asked pulling the shirt over her head.
"More or less… I get to see Clarith at least." Crookshanks mumbled now chewing on the wand.
"Who's Clarith?" Hermione questioned turning back around to find her jacket.
"The nice kneazle-cat that I contemplate life with." Crookshanks answered getting up and stretching.
"Cats contemplate life?" Hermione said grinning as she did up the last button on her jeans.
"Of course! What do you think we do all day, sleep?"
"So who's is it?"
"That nice black haired lady's."
"Cho?"
"No not her, the one you don't like."
Hermione frowned trying to think of all the people she didn't like that were nice. Coming up with nothing she shrugged and left the topic. Sighing she grabbed her now sticky wand and shoved it in her back pocket before grabbing her trunk and yanking it down the stairs to her mother and awaiting breakfast.

Pansy pulled another wad of gum out of her pocket and placed it in her mouth. She never liked waiting for her mother to bid her farewell before Hogwarts. She muttered a soft curse before fiddling with her tie that she could never keep straight.
"Parkinson!" A voice called over the busy traffic of people. Pansy turned to see her mother weave through the crowd and stop before her.
"Good morning mother," Pansy grumbled dropping her tie and looking up at her smirking mother.
"You left Clarith behind," Her mother said pulling the long haired black cat from behind her back.
"Clarith! I thought you ran away," Pansy said taking the great black lump into her arms before giving it a hug.
"Have a nice year I'll send someone to owl you at some point."
"Thanks Mother,"
"Only for you," And with that she bent down to place a light kiss on her daughter forehead before turning on her heel and disappearing into the deep sea of people.
"Stupid bitch, send me off to France for the holidays instead of coming home." Pansy whispered tightening her grip on Clarith who only nuzzled deeper into the crook of her neck. Pansy picked up her trunk and began to weave through the sea of people till she met platform 9 and ¾ which she ran through to appear before the mighty red train.
Hermione gave her mum one last hug before disappearing through the barrier. Crookshanks firmly placed around her neck started to purr as it caught sight of the nice black haired lady and Clarith.
"Can we sit with Clarith?" Crookshanks whispered swishing his tail across Hermione's shoulder.
"Sure, where is she." Hermione said scanning the crowd of students. After losing hope of meeting the mysterious owner Hermione put her trunk in the safe deposit carriage and walked onto the train. Hermione was supposed to go to the head of the train for a prefect meeting as she was elected Head Girl. Making her way through the students a lot of gasps and whispers floated around her as people began to really notice Hermione. Over the summer not only did that charm to wonders but she had developed fully turning from the young girl into the young woman. Hermione made her way through the crowd before opening the door to the head compartment.
"Ah Ms Granger thank you for joining us." Dumbledore said nodding at the girl and beckoning her to sit.
"Now that we have both of our Head girls." Dumbledore began before being cut off by large gasps.
"What!" Echoed from the back of the room, everyone's head turned to see Pansy make her way towards the centre of the carriage.
"Ah yes, we thought that a bit of house unity would do this school some good and since we couldn't decide on a Head boy we thought two Head girls would do the job." Dumbledore kindly explained resting his head on the steeples created by his hands.
Hermione's head snapped around to see Pansy scowling at her, letting out a soft sight Hermione turned back around and began to listen to Dumbledore's banter. The other prefects were dismissed as Hermione and Pansy listened about their new Head's Quarters, Dumbledore ushered them into a spare carriage for the last hour of the trip.
"This is stupid, what a blubbering old fool!" Pansy snapped scowling as she sat down on her seat. Hermione noticed the movement under Pansy's robes and grinned.
"I don't suppose you have a big black cat under there?" Hermione asked grinning as Crookshanks jumped out from her jacket.
"Oh…" Pansy said opening her robes and letting Clarith get out and greet Crookshanks.
"He likes you," Hermione said smiling as Crookshanks began to cuddle the other cat.
"Yeah well… What's not to like!" Pansy exclaimed now looking up to see Granger properly. Pansy noticed how much the girl had changed over the summer, no longer bushy haired or flat chested.
"You have a lovely cat," Hermione said looking at Pansy properly for once. Pale skin, ruby red lips and her hair now a longer more wavy style. She was beautiful, and she knew it. Hermione silently chuckled as she remembered Crookshanks' words about the nice black haired lady.
"Sucking up gets no where with me Granger." Pansy spat hiding the tint of a blush that decided to form.
"I just thought if we didn't fight so much we would do a better job as heads!" Hermione said raising her voice and standing up. Pansy was quick to her feet jumping up also and balling her hands into fists.
"Well you thought wrong didn't you Granger!" Pansy yelled back scowling as Hermione let out a sigh.
"I guess so," Hermione whispered sitting back down to gaze out the window.
"What?" Pansy asked confused why Granger would give up so easily.
"It's the last year Pansy I'm never going to see you again so what happens this year might as well be not as hostile as past." Hermione explained turning her head to the side letting small locks slip in front of her well covered mocha eyes.
"Whatever." Pansy scoffed pulling her legs up to her body and resting her chin on them. Crookshanks picked his head up from its resting place and stood up stretching before jumping onto the seat next to Pansy. He started to rub up against her thighs causing the witch to smile for a second before putting her legs down and letting the cat snuggle into her robes.
Clarith noticing the sudden movement of her warmth outlet stood up and jumped onto Hermione's lap letting out a low purr.
"Scratch under the left side of her chin." Pansy said her voice softening as Clarith snuggled into Hermione's jacket. Hermione looked up to meet those cold grey eyes, she smiled and nodded before doing as Pansy said.

The two girls sat there petting each other's pets before realising that they were almost at Hogwarts. Hermione gently pulling the sleeping cat off her lap looked under her seat to find her Hogwarts robes and a note from Dumbledore that just said to leave her normal clothes back in the seat and they would be taken to her room along with her trunk.
"Do you mind if I change in here?" Hermione asked meeting those eyes yet again. Pansy shook her head and continued to stroke Crookshanks. Hermione nodded and stripped off her jacket and shirt to leave herself standing in a lacy bra and her jeans. Pansy watched with awe as the young woman in front of her began to change showing how absolutely dazzling she had become.
"Come here…" Hermione said picking up Clarith and holding her as the loud whistle of the train alerted their arrival.
"Shall we swap then," Pansy said with almost a hint of amusement in her voice. Hermione nodded as Pansy stood up and tried to give Crookshanks back. This was met by a loud hissing and claws being dug into her robes.
"Or not," Hermione said grinning as Clarith purred contently under her robes. Pansy ran a hand through her raven locks and shook her head.
The two heads left the compartment and took their private carriage up to the castle.
"Pansy!" Called Draco beckoning the girl over, Pansy turned to see Hermione smile at her. With this, Pansy began to walk over to the smirking blonde headed boy.
"Mione there you are!" Harry called running to engulf Hermione in a tight hug. Hermione felt Clarith start to get squished by the hug so she quickly pulled back.
"Harry! How was your summer?" Hermione asked smiling at the raven haired boy.
"Great! And yours?" Harry said linking arms with her and grinning uncontrollably.
"Am I missing something?" Hermione questioned taken back by his extreme giddyness.
"I met someone!" He whispered still grinning like a maniac. Hermione smiled even brighter as the thought of Harry finally being happy with someone played around with her thoughts.
"Who?" She asked feeling giddy herself.
"Malfoy," Harry whispered into her ear before leaning back out and started to skip into the great hall. Hermione's mind shut down, Malfoy? Dravo Malfoy, the biggest bigot dickhead was gay. Draco Malfoy, was gay with Harry Potter! Rita Skeeter would have a field day with this one.
"I know I know you must be shocked but Dumbledore placed me with him in a safe house all summer and well… You know… He isn't so bad once you get to know him, hes actually really sweet!" Harry said his eyes glassing over as he dreamily stared into space.
"I'm going to get a really bad headache from this aren't I." Hermione muttered rubbing the bridge of her nose. Harry guided them both over to the Gryffindor table and into their usual spots at the table.
"Ron mate!" Harry said slapping the red head on the back, Ron turned around and stood up giving them both a massive hug.
"Mione! Harry!" Ron cheered hugging them even tighter. Hermione sat down and opened her robes under the table letting Clarith settle on her lap. Her eyes cast over to the Slytherin table to see Pansy wearing the exact same expression that she was a minute ago. To her left was an extremely giddy Draco waving his hands around madly before clasping them together and going into a dreamy state. Pansy turned her head to look at the scar head himself but was met with Hermione's mocha eyes.
"Weird huh," Hermione mouthed over to the ruby lipped girl. Hermione grinned as an orange head popped out from Pansy's robes before being shoved back under the table by a giggling Pansy? No that couldn't be right, Hermione blinked to see Pansy go back to her conversation with Draco.
After the sorting Dumbledore began his beginning of year speech before clicking those fingers of his and filling the hall with food. Hermione began to slowly pick small pieces of meat and slip them onto her lap and into the awaiting mouth of one happy cat.
"Err Harry?" Hermione asked realising that he was sculpting a little head in his mashed potato.
"Ha! Harry that almost looks like Malfoy!" Ron exclaimed food spraying in a three-metre radius of his flapping mouth. Harry let out a dreamy sigh and Ron just shrugged and finished shovelling food down his gob.
After dinner Hermione left the prefects to guide up the new year of Gryffindor up to the awaiting fat lady. Hermione walked to the portrait of a phoenix and noticed Pansy leaning on the wall next to it stroking an extremely happy Crookshanks.
"We have to say the password together, its Unity." Pansy said watching as a black fluff popped out from the neck of Hermione's robes. Hermione nodded and stood next to Pansy gently brushing up against her arm sending shivers up both of their arms.
"Unity!" They both yelled into the abandoned corridor. The portrait swung open to reveal a deep crimson coloured room with silver stripes. In front of a blazing fire stood a green and gold lounge with its own little sets of armchairs. Bookshelves lined the wall with famous pictures of witches in history.
"Its alright," Pansy said following Hermione up the stairs which led into a large bedroom with two beds and the distinct colours of their houses dividing down the middle. In the centre of the room stood a large bubble which took them down into a gigantic crystallised bathroom. Hermione and Pansy's jaws dropped as they took in the beautiful scene in front of them, their were snakes and lions adorned all over the walls shooting gold and silver mist into the room. Along the wall sat over two hundred different faucets with different labels.
Leaving the bathroom before checking out the mirrors and sinks the two girls stood back into the bubble that took them back up to the bedroom.
"It's lovely," Hermione said finally placing Clarith down, Pansy did the same with Crookshanks and the girls began getting changed taking secret glances at one another. Both of them smirked as they laid simultaneously onto their beds thinking they got away with murder.
Their cats snuggled with their respected owners and the lights in the room dimmed down until finally going out.
"Goodnight Pansy," Hermione called from her bed before closing her eyes.
"Night Hermione" Pansy replied softly but not soft enough as a small smile crept onto Hermione's lips before they both drifted off.
