Dear Harry,

I have just received a letter that says I'm head girl! I'm so excited! But I'm not sure who head boy is. My summer has been rather boring. I'm sure you and Ron are having a whole lot more fun then I am. I have to tell you something when I go to Ron's house next week. It's something I've been meaning to tell you for a very long time now… anyways! See you soon. Send my love to Ron and his family.

Love,
Hermione

Hermione attached the letter to Shard, her new falcon. She was a rare snow falcon. She had blue eyes and white feathers with gray specks on the tips of her wings. Hermione's father had found it injured in her backyard and unable to move. He thought it had died but Hermione nursed it back to health. She was carrying a letter but it was too soaked to read. After Shard had healed up she had decided to stay with Hermione and pay her back for being so generous.

"Shard please bring this letter to Harry." Hermione asked. Shard nodded as if she understood and flew off into the horizon. As Hermione watched her new found pet fly off into the setting sun she heard her mom call her down for dinner. It was another regular day in her regular life, well as regular as a witch's life could get.

As she finished up washing the dishes, there was a knock at the door. "Hello? Who is it?" She asked. She opened the door and saw Draco standing in front of her. He smiled one of his devious smiles as Hermione fell to the floor.

Hermione opened her eyes slowly and saw the top of the room decorated with Quidditch posters and Wizard rock bands. She rolled over and smelled the sweet scent of Calla Lilies. They were her favorite flower because of their simplicity. She smiled for a moment taking in the scent. Then she remembered her incident last night and jerked up out of what she assumed was Malfoy's bed. "Your awake." A voice beside her greeted. " morning Granger. how's life? How's the family? How's Harry?" It was Draco Malfoy sitting on the side of the bed. He's so cocky. Hermione thought to herself.

"Why am I here Malfoy? What do you want from me? My friend's will try and find me you know!" She angrily stated. "I know, that's why your leaving in a day or two"
"really"
"really"
"why"
"I don't have to tell a Mudblood my father's plans"
"Don't call me that"
"For now you can stay in this room and ONLY this room. I don't want your filthy hands touching any of my other things Granger. I really don't see what my father wants with a Mudblood, especially you." He picked himself up and left the room. She could hear him casting a lock charm on the doors.

"I need to find something to get out of here with." She whispered to herself as she went threw Draco's closets. The two closets could fit her whole house she thought. It would take her hours. "Oh my god! Why are assholes always loaded!" As she finished her remark she looked down in the very corner of her closet to see a journal. It was covered with dark green velvet and there was a calla lily in the middle of it. It was so girly that she couldn't help but giggle.

"Should I open it? Ahhh it's so juice! Oh I can't!" she debated. "No harm if he doesn't find out right!" She convinced herself.
She turned to the first page of the book:

Journal,
I am only writing in this book because of my stupid grandmother and her stupid last request. I can't believe that she's gone. I could still hear her nagging at me to study and read more. She was always so optimistic about me. She believed that I would do great things unlike my father. She didn't like him much as you can tell. I wish she would come back. My mother and I really miss her. I really don't know why Grandma wanted me to start a journal as her last wish. She was part Seer, so I think she had her reasons. Dammit I miss her and her Chocolate frog cookies.
Draco

"Draco missing someone. Hard to believe but it is his hand writing." She thought out loud. She scanned through quickly. It looked like he wrote once or twice a week, mostly about his parents, Quidditch, and Hogwarts. As she looked through she saw her name written and stopped as curiosity took the best of her.

… I walked through the halls and saw a beautiful girl in front of me. Her gorgeous hair was memorizing. I walked up to see who it was and to my utter disgust it was Granger. She had done her hair that day I assumed. So I said "Nice look Granger, you should join the circus" as I walked away. I still can't believe I found her interesting! Even from the back view. I wonder what Harry and Ron have done with her. Its not fair. I get stuck with a bodiless Pansy and they get a full blown model in the making. If only, I really don't know what I' m saying. I think I've had a bit too much Gravity Vodka for one day.

Draco

Hermione was shocked. Draco found her attractive! She would have to put this to good use when she got back to Hogwarts. Suddenly she heard a knock at the door and quickly hide the journal and went back to the bed, closing the closet doors behind her.

"You don't have to be polite! I am a hostage." Hermione reasoned. "Oh yes!" Lucius laughed. "Immobulus" He swung his wand and Hermione was helpless. "This won't hurt and you won't remember a thing. I promise." Lucius opened Hermione's mouth and poured a dark blue vial into it. She fell asleep instantly. "We will test you in the morning my little lab rat"

Draco entered the room to see his father on top of Hermione. "Father what are you doing"

"Nothing of what your thinking of son. I'm testing my latest invention. It's a potion that brings out innocence and causes amnesia. It creates a clean white slate in the users head so she/he can easily be molded, into an obedient and mindless dog! Too bad it only works on pure mudbloods, like her." Lucius informed him.
"Why not just use the imperio curse?" Draco asked while still keeping his eyes on the resting Hermione.
"Because, my son, there are ways to fight against that curse but this curse is unchangeable until the master willingly give her the antidote." He stated gleaming with pride at his creation.
