Summer Doubts

Hermione Granger could be found studying in her bedroom. Although it looked to the average

person as though she were studying, she wasn't. She was too nervous to study. She was, in fact,

expecting a long awaited owl from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You see, Hermione

was not an average girl, she was a witch. She and her two best friends, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter

attended a school where they were taught magic. Today, she was supposed to be getting her list of

supplies for her seventh, and final year at Hogwarts.

'It should be here soon' she thought to herself as she looked out her window.

About twenty minutes later Hermione saw a large brown owl coming toward her house.

"Yes!!!" she screamed as she opened her window to let the tired owl in. She opened the Hogwarts

seal on her letter and opened it excitedly. It read:

Dear Ms. Granger

Welcome back to your 7th year at Hogwarts. We are pleased to inform you that you have

been selected as Head Girl this year. Congratulations. You, as well as the Head Boy, are expected

to follow rules and regulations this year. Prefect meetings will be scheduled by Professor McGonagall.

You are also expected to work alongside the Head Boy to plan events such as balls, dances, etc...

You're school list is enclosed and school begins on September first.

Yours sincerely,

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc.,

Cheif Warlock, Supreme Mugwump,

International Confed. of Wizards)

'I wonder who the Head Boy is. Maybe Ron or Harry' Hermione thought

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draco Malfoy was in a very good mood. He had just recieved his Hogwarts letter informing

him that he was appointed Head Boy.

'Like there was ever a doubt' he thought to himself as he walked down the corridors of Malfoy Manor

to his fathers office. When he arrived, he knocked on the door exactly 3 times. One of the many

security measures in the manor. Draco smirked to himself as he remembered the last person

who forgot to knock 3 times.

"Enter" he heard his father's cold voice call. Draco despised his father, contrary to popular belief.

Ever since Lucius had killed his mother in his 6th year, Draco had hated him. All he felt for his

father now was hate, pity, and fear.

Draco walked into his father's office and informed him that he had been made Head Boy. His father

did not seem surprised at the news.

"Excellent Draco" Lucius said, not looking the least bit proud of his only son. "And who is the

Head Girl?" Draco hadn't thought about that. "I don't know, Father. The letter didn't say" Draco replied,

knowing the consequences of his words.

Sure enough, Draco was promptly smacked across his face by Lucius. "You don't know?!" Lucius

screamed "IT IS YOUR JOB TO KNOW!!!" Lucius's voice was rising, as was the pain Lucius's many

blows inflicted. Lucius anger disappeared as soon as it came, and he said calmy "If you are to make

a good spy to the Dark Lord, you'd best get your facts straight, Draco. Good day." "Good day Father"

Draco replied, sporting a black eye and a bloody lip. 'Thank Merlin Hogwarts term begins tomorrow'

Draco thought to himself as he exited his fathers quarters.
