Chapter 1
Hermione's Pov
My head girl badge sits on my side board and my new robes i shall wear are hung on the wardrobe door.I finally finish packing all my new books and equipment ready for another year at my second home. I have planned the books I will finish in the library and have already read half of the new books. I am looking forward to seeing Harry and Ron again, and telling the weirdest thing that happened over the holidays.
I was sitting on a rock, looking out at the sunset; listening to the soft waves crushing against the shore, feeling the salt air cleans my skin.
"Hello Granger, didn't know you came to St Ives, thought you would have stayed at home reading all summer" I instantly snap out of my little piece of heaven and turn to see Malfoy stood behind me.
"Oh, and i thought you would have gone somewhere aboard" i snap back at him, not happy with him destroying my peace.
"wow, bookworm watch it, i was only trying to be nice, i thought you would have changed, like me, over the summer but i guess you're still a stuck up little know-it-all" he hisses back, before sitting beside me, he stares at me face, i close my eyes not willing to give him the satisfaction of a response. He turns his face to watch what i am, a small boat floating gently with a couple sat together. He turns to face me again, and opens his mouth to speak.
" you know, I'm.. I'm So.. Sor.. Sorry for the past few years" he stutters and coughs awkwardly. My mouth falls open in utter shock i just stare at him, his face now facing down, his bare feet shuffling slightly and the three-quarter length jeans/shorts shifting a light more than i thought they would. Wait what the hell he isn't in a suit or fancy clothes, he has Muggle clothes on, a simple navy polo top with a small logo, which i can't work out.
"Well? Oh do close your mouth Granger it isn't very lady-like" is snap my mouth shut cough slightly,
" Um.. well Thank you, i guess... But um well... what has brought this on?" i choke still completely baffled by the Draco Malfoy ;my tormentor for nearly seven years and complete and utter wanker.
" Well, Granger, I thought we could start a fresh, Do you want to?" he asks looking up to my eyes, his beautiful grey/blue show his emotions that his face wont.
I run a few thoughts over my head, still completely mesmerized by his eyes. Grabbing my Gryffindor courage i stick my hand out towards him.
" I'm Hermione Granger, Muggle-born" i added that little nick to test him, the Malfoy i know wouldn't dare touch a 'mudblood'. Taking my hand he shakes it gently.
" Nice to meet you Hermione, I'm Draco Malfoy ,'Pureblood'" He smiles and we just stare the couple on the boat, that's until i hear the familiar sound of my ringtone, and the vibrating in my pocket. I quickly take it out and see my mum's photo and name pop up.
"i have to go, It was nice meeting you Draco" i smile and take a mock curtsy before rushing off to our tent.
Draco's Pov
"Draco!, We are leaving, If you don't come along now you won't get to the platform on time!" My mother shouts up at me, i grab the head boy badge and rush down the stairs, only to face my father.
" your mother is in the car, now I want you to remember you are a soon to be Deatheater. so you better act like one" he growls and me before pushing us forward to the open door of the Rolls-Royce.
Hermione's Pov
My parents drop me off at the platform and i practically skip through the wall, i am instantly greeted by Harry, Ron and the Weasley's.
" oh Hermione dear, how was your holiday? Your looking a little thin my dear. Here take this i packed a few extra small lunches just in case" Mrs. Weasley always greets me the same, over-the-top mother.
" thank you, yes it was fine and i only saw you a couple of weeks ago when i came to stay, and thank you again for the lunch" i smile then turn to the blushing Ronald.
" Mum come on we have to go, Ginny! Let go of Harry he isn't interested" He yells, as Ginny wraps her arms around a very confused Harry. I quickly step in a wrap my arms around him in a strong hug.
"Harry, good to see you, should we go get a compartment before they all get taken and we are stuck with some Slytherins." I laugh then pulls Harry and Ron on to the train, followed by a very angry Ginny. Half way through our journey i change into my Head girl robes and Place the badge onto my left side. Professor McGonagall coughs into the over head microphone.
" Please may the heads and prefects make their ways up to the teachers compartment, Thank you" I excuse myself away from my friends, by flashing my Head girl badge, they congratulate me then go into deep discussion on who the Head Boy might be. I seat myself against the window staring at the vast greenery.
Draco's Pov
The old Batty cow calls for me just as i leave to get changed. I head to a empty compartment and change quickly placing my badge on the left side then head to my next destination. I walk past Potter and Weasley, but no Grange, i wonder if she told them yet. I then wonder where she is but my head is ahead of me. She is most definitely the Head Girl after the first year is was obvious she would get it. Hell right now she could easily be a Professor she knows so much. As i reach the compartment there rests the Head Girl. Hermione.
I slip in and sit on the opposite side against the door. Her once massive of frizz, is now long, wavy and falls over her back. She is sleeping i can tell by the way her head rises and falls with her breathing. Also by the fact i can see her face. Her eyelashes have a light, thin coat of massacre and her lips are slightly pink from lip gloss. She hums every time she breathes out. And with that comes a tap and McGonagall enters along with us.
Hermione's Pov
I must have fallen asleep as i feel a small shake from Draco waking me up.
"Huh? What are you doing here?" i ask before noticing his badge.
"Oh i see" i quickly add before he sits back down as i sit up and push the hair from my face.
"Well then i am glad you two have sat in the same compartment without killing each other" McGonagall chuckles.
"Actually Professor Hermione and I are starting a fresh, we saw each other when we were on holiday a few weeks again and have staying in contact since." Draco explains with a smile on his face, not a smirk or a sneer... a smile.
" That is good to hear, So down to business, as you may know the Head's share a common room, you will have separate dormitories which have been decorated accordingly, you will share a bathroom room, but have ensuite's for night times, The ensuite's have toilets and wash basin, cabinet and mirror. " McGonagall continues explaining, our meetings with the prefects; the patrolling times; and other details. After a hour we head back out a towards our friends.
"Hermione, have you told Potter and Weasley?" Draco asks walking up beside me.
" No i was about to but didn't get time" i reply before heading into my compartment. Draco stares at me then gives a two finger salute before heading to his way. I sit and am faced with two confused teenager boys.
Draco's Pov
I settle down next to Blaise and Pansy, both in deep debate on the party that is going to happen tonight in the ROR.
" so 12pm, ROR bring fire whiskey and invite all the seventh and sixth year Slytherins." Pansy snorts, her hair is dead straight with a number of high lights, she has too much make up on an looks like a Barbie doll. She is cradled by Blaise, Her NEW boyfriend. Everyone knows about them and they have been visiting each other since their parents are having them get married but they are 'taking it slow', even though they slept together the first night they found out.
"Draco, did you hear what i asked?" she snaps at me, so i give her a blank expression.
"Guess not, well are you coming?" she asks again fluttering her eyelashes, she always had a 'thing' for me, who couldn't with my amazing charms and bad-boy attitude.
"Well Pansy, I can't i have patrolling to do, there is going to be a few Prefects going around the ROR, till around 1pm so be careful, cause i am not bailing you out of some shit that you get yourself caught up into." I sneer and lift my feet up on the seat, stretching out casually.
"Too bad mate, there's gunna be ALL the hotties, ugh, What was that for Pansy" Blaise moans and places a hand over his gut.
"Your taken, so don't use that language as you know that if i am around there is not 'hotties' because I'm too hot" she snorts then heads to change out of her tight tank top and skinny jeans that don't do her gut any justice.
"Damn she doesn't know HOW wrong she is" I laugh then stop when Blaise hits my arm.
"I know what you mean but don't say it around me, Remember I am her boyfriend" he smiles then starts writing a letter.
Hermione Pov
"Okay spill Hermione, why did Malfoy salute you? And why are we not dragging your hands away from his throat?" Harry asks leaning forward waiting for an answer.
I explain what happened over the summer, trying to ignore Ronald's stupid facial expressions.
" so let me get this straight, you are being friends with the Deatheater Ferret boy, who tormented you throughout your whole time at Hogwarts and he is Head boy" Ronald spits and me.
"Yes, Ronald we have talked for a few weeks now and i have learnt new things about him, like he loves reading as much as me, and he... I can't tell you some things not yet" I whisper the last part. Ron just stares at me as if i swore my head off at him, unlike Harry who smiles and heads off to change into his robes.
"I can't believe you have gone to the dark side" the redhead growls at me.
"What? I haven't done anything all I have done is create a new friend and you have gone all Mr Defensive." I snap back, Luna joins us and sits next to me as light headed looking as ever.
"Hey, have you seen Harry?" she asks, looking straight at me.
"Yer he went to get changed, he will be back soon, What's going on with you two? Heard you spent some time together" I say with a smiles and turn so my back is against the window.
"Well, he started owling me on the first week of the holidays, that's after we talked a lot before then, and well I sorta have always liked him," she continues until Ronald cuts her off.
"I'm going to go get changed" The emotionless tosspot leaves and Luna turns to me a questioning look on her face.
"Well, you going to explain the Grump?" she asks, willing me to explain just with her eyes. I let out a sigh.
"Okay, Draco and I are starting a fresh" she lets out an excited gasp,
"Oh no, not like that, i mean no more fighting and 'mudblood/ferret' just normal neutral conversations, which will be useful because he is Head Boy and I'm Head Girl" she lets out a sad sigh then smiles and congrats me for the Head Girl.
"I have a feeling you and him will get closer" Luna wiggles her eyebrows and giggles before Harry walks in.
"Harry! I missed you" she gasps and hugs him close, he wraps his arms around her waist and kisses her cheek before sitting down.
"I'm guessing Ron isn't best pleased" Harry questioned, noticing the lack of his friend's presents.
" Well once you left he flipped at me, and I'm guessing what Luna explained is a understatement." I smirk at him, his arms wrapped around Luna's waist and her back against his chest. All the chosen one can do is blush and hid his face in her long blonde locks.
Draco Pov
I enter the great hall and take my seat next to Theo, Blaise and Pansy, who still is a little touchy. Dumbledore stands up one last time before we can eat.
"May the Head's stay behind so they can be shown their dormitory, and now let the feast being" Even after all these years the feast still seems to create a long lost emotion to stir inside me. I grab a few pieces of chicken, potatoes and all the foods I have missed. I glance over to the Gryffindor table, and search for the Brown frizz mop, then I remember how much she has changed and pick her out easily from behind her figure is curvy and prefect, wait why am i thinking like this, you are Draco Malfoy not some emotional filled teenager but i gotta say the Granger has turned out pretty well. Breaking myself from the thoughts i finish off my plate just as we are dismissed.
I wait till all the students have left then head towards the Headmaster.
"Miss Granger, Mr Malfoy, Professor McGonagall has told me that you two are working together, to solve your differences?" he asks whilst walking us up to the dormitory.
"Well, we have buried a hatchet, starting a fresh" Hermione explains, before i can agree with the professor.
"Hello Isabella, These are the two new Heads, Miss Granger and Mr Malfoy, now you two chose a password and get to bed, lesson start in a week so you have plenty time, Miss Granger, to get ahead on your reading as i know you like doing that" the stupid twinkle appears in his eyes before he leaves us stood in front of the portrait of the girl.
"Names please" Isabella asks smiling softly.
"Hermione Granger, and that is Draco Malfoy" the head girl answers and i smile at the portrait giving her my two finger salute.
"Well I am pleased to meet you, Okay chose your password, something unrelated to you and random, it will be changed every month, also inside there is a list of your houses passwords for the year." She continues. I turn to face Hermione.
"How about...Golden Snake?" i ask she turns to me and gives a small nod.
" Good idea, Golden Snake it is" we face to portrait and nod together, thanking her when we enter, allowing ladies first i hear her gasp then myself see why.
Straight ahead of us is a fire place with to flags hanging above if, one Gryffindor and the other Slytherin, there are two couches, again in each of our house colours. There are two doors each with its own sign. One door has a gold HG on it and the other has a silver HB, Hermione instantly runs to her room and i hear a childish giggle and thud, obviously she has jumped onto her bed. I head slowly to mine and see what she means, my trunk is already there and most my stuff is unpacked there is a large four poster bed set off to the side next to one window, a desk and chair are next to a small bookcase which has my school books and photos on, i see another door and guess it's my ensuite. Smiling i head back to the common room and light the fire before grabbing my advanced potions book and start reading.
Hermione's Pov
I run to my room and let out a happy gasp, skipping over to the bed i feel the soft silky, red and gold blanket on my skin, I turning my head i see all my school books and clothes have been placed away and Crookshanks is sleeping on my desk. I change into my pyjamas and head to the main bathroom, with my toothbrush and face wash.
I exit my room to feel the warming heat of the fire and Draco sat reading a school book, he is still in his school robes but his tie is loosened and he is only is his shirt, living in the dungeons must make them sensitive to heat. Then why did he put the fire on? I forget it and continue my normal nightly routine.
Once my face is washed and teeth brushed i head back to my room, Draco is still sat in the same seat, his potions book flopped on his bare belly. Wait bare and he's asleep. I have the urge to run to my room and forget i saw him, but i don't i walk over to him and tap his shoulder, when he doesn't move i poke his cheek, nothing. I do it again, still nothing. I huff under my breath then take his book fold the corner over and place it on the coffee table. Then take my wand and create a glass of ice water. Dripping my finger in i flick a small amount on his skin, yawning i give up and empty the glass on his head.
"FUCK!, GRANGER WHAT THE HELL! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" he screams at me, i quickly, silence him and clear the water away.
" You was going to burn in front of the fire and i did try and wake you up by poking and shaking you, but you didn't answer and I'm tired so good night" i unsilence him the skip of to my room snickering slightly at the huffing and stomping i can hear from a tired Draco Malfoy.
Wrapping myself under my duvet i snuggle down, thinking of the books i will read tomorrow.
Draco's Pov
I wake early, remembering what happened last night. Smiling evilly i sneak into Hermione's room, she's still asleep her face down and hair in a mass of curls. I hold my breath and run at her bed jumping high and landing on her yelling loudly.
"AHHH! Fucking hell, i was sleeping!" she screams and punches my arm hard. I pull a hurt face and rub my arm.
"That was pay back" i smile then skip out her room, to the bathroom. I throw off my clothes and slide under the shower. I slide out after 20 minutes and reach for my towel. But only find my robe, i sigh and wrap it around me. I leave the bathroom to come face to face with a frizzy mop.
"You finally done i see" i member comes from underneath the mop.
"Um, Yer, can you actually see?" i laugh and part her hair like curtains. Her brown orbs glare at me then she smiles and brushes past to wash. I finish dressing in a shirt and trousers, then head down to the hall for breakfast.
Hermione's Pov
The shower refreshes me i head back to my room and using a simple spell, have my hair dried and up in a messy bun in seconds. I throw on a pair of skinny jeans, and All-Saints t-shirt, and then go off to breakfast. Harry, Luna and Ronald sit in our usual spots, with Neville and Seamus.
"Morning, Got any plans?" i ask a cheerfully as i can with Ron glaring at me.
"Well, me and Harry were thinking about going to the Black lake, but we really want to see your common room" Luna squeaks and pulls a puppy eye look at me.
"Yer that's fine, When do you want to see it?" i ask, excited to have the first guest.
"How about now, we can always ask the house elves to bring up some food"
"Sure, let's go" i grab a piece of toast and Harry and Luna follow me out, Soon after Ronald joins us.
"Golden Snake" i whisper and Isabella opens the door.
"Wow, Your living the high life" Harry gasps and sits down in the red and gold chair, Luna places herself on his lap and Ronald stands behind the sofa, whilst I sit myself down.
"Yer, it's not that bad, oh i didn't tell you... i 'pranked' Draco" i giggle then explain the night before.
"Nice one 'Mione, So your still being nice to him?" Harry asks,
"Yer, only thing when it comes to pranking him, he got me back this morning" i huff, acting grumpy then smile and explain how he woke me up.
"'Mione, can you show me your room, I'm guessing Harry will call the house elves, whilst we are gone" Luna asks, obviously wanting to ask questions that will embarrass the boys. I nod my head and we go to my room, i put a silencing charm on the door.
"He likes you" Luna giggles and plonks herself on the red and gold love seat.
"Who?" i ask dumbly hoping that it's not who i think it is.
"Draco, Wait let me explain how i came to this" she cuts me off, " okay, he lets you sorta get away with a prank, then get's you back and what happened in with the bathroom is another thing" she smiles.
"Luna i told you not to use Occlumency on me, i would have told you anyhow, there is no way in hell does he like me" i huff and sit on my bed.
"Oh, Hermione you may know a lot about spells and stuff, but when it comes to boys you know nothing." She points her finger at me like a Professor. I smile at her then throw a gold pillow at her face, which in turn starts a massive pillow war. Harry walks in to check on us and gets four pillows to his face then decides to join us. In the end i win with only 12 hits to my person, Luna gets hit 24 times and Harry who was our main target has an uncountable amount. We head down when we hear voices raging.
Draco's Pov
I walk into my common room after breakfast, Hermione must have brought in a few friends because potter is walking into her room and i see pillows flying around. I notice a few snacks on the table, Weasley munching on an apple biscuit.
"Why aren't you throwing pillows with the rest of your group Weasley?" i ask, he whirls his head around with a red face,
"YOU, You stole Hermione, somehow, you must have put her under the Imperius curse or spiked her drink. The 'Mione i know would never just become 'friends' with a git like you" he snarls, standing face to face with me i notice how much more muscular he is compared to me, i guess the beats Lucius gives me affects more than just my behaviour.
" I haven't 'stolen' Hermione, and we are not friends, but one day i hope we are, all we are doing is starting a fresh which was my idea as i knew it would be hard if we hated each other's guts whilst having to share quarters" i explain keeping a cool head.
"No i know why you have done this it's because you just want to use her to find out our secrets or break her so we seem useless, well get it straight Malfoy, we don't need Hermione to kill Voldemort we can kill him without her, we are men she is just a little bookworm girl, Yer she has been useful when it comes to knowledge but come off it do you really think she could be any help on the battle field?" Weasley shouts, i hear a loud gasp and look behind Ron to see Hermione, her face growing red and eyes starting to tear.
"How dare you Ronald, after all i have done, all the shit i have put up with, you want to know something, Draco has written to me the holidays EVERYDAY but you, only wrote 6 times, Yes that's right, we have talked , No he isn't trying to take advantage of me like you did, i want you to leave right now before i flip and hex your bollocks off." She screams. He stares down at the little witch she may have grown but she is still a lot shorter than him. I can feel the magic crackling in the air, and no doubt it is coming from Hermione.
Then the unthinkable happens, Slap Hermione falls to the ground covering her cheek, a few tears falling from her eyes, Luna runs over to her whilst, Potter stands there in shock. The raging witch lifts her head and glares straight at the red-head. He whirls around to face me once more.
"This is all your fault." He growls, then i flip, next thing i know he is on the floor knocked out and a stinging sensation is running over my clenched fist. I walk over to the girls as does Potter, i take Hermione's hand and sit her down, before turning to Potter.
"Go get McGonagall, and Pomfrey i will wait here and tie Weasley up" he gives me a nod then rushes out the room.
" 'Mione?, you okay?" i ask holding her arm with her head lowered so her face can't be seen, Luna rubs her back , looking at me turning to read me. The girl shakes her head, and cuddles into me, i stiffen from the contact but mostly from the confusion of why she is doing this.
"He doesn't want us to starts a fresh because he thinks that i will turn change for the worse" Hermione mumbles her face pressed against my chest, i bring my hands up to where Luna's were and rub her back gently.
"No 'Mione, it's because he knows that you could kick his arse and he thinks if you and me are friends then you will turn dark and then he will lose." She looks up at me, her cheek is swollen and her eyes red and puffy, she looks at me curiously.
"Friends?" she asks i bite my lip and nod, she nestles her head back into my chest and i feel the tears soak my shirt. I take my wand still holding her and bound the unconscious twat, just as i have done this Harry returns, along with Madam Pomfrey, Professor McGonagall and Strangely Professed Snape.
"Mr Malfoy, may i check her over please?" Pomfrey asks, and takes Hermione off of me onto another sofa, she lifts her chin to see the bruised red skin, puffy eyes.
"Oh, dear child, did he do this to you" she asks, even though she knows the answer to the question.
They head off to Hermione's room along with Luna to sort the girl out.
"Mr Malfoy, Mr Potter would you care to explain fully what happened." McGonagall asks, sitting down on a sofa and Snape stands near.
"Well..." Potter starts, he explains what happened before i came in, and then i continue up to the point when Weasley started the argument. When we mention about me hitting Weasley square in the face, Snape lets out a smirk but quickly stops when McGonagall glares at him. I turn my head around when i hear Weasley start to wake.
"Guess i didn't hit him hard enough" i smirk, before Snape hits me on the back of the head.
"Ouch, what was..."
"No need to be rude, Malfoy" Snape sneers, and turns to the other Professor.
"What are we going to do with Mr Weasley?" He asks.
"Well for starters i am going to clean his bloody nose up!" Pomfrey suggests, i turn with a question on my face.
"She is fine, Miss Lovegood is with her, No you can't go in as she is sleeping, I checked over her in case of any other injuries, she has a sprained wrist, luckily not her writing one and a broken rib, but that injure was not from Mr Weasley, as the bone was almost healed, i say it's from around 4 weeks or so." She explains, whilst cleaning away the blood and straightening the red-head's nose.
"Well i suggest the no points shall be taken but Mr Weasley will have 8 weeks detention with you Severus, and Mr Malfoy will have 4 days detention with me, for hitting another student." She explains as my jaw drops.
"Professor, Can he be also banned from here for Hermione's and Malfoy's safety?" Potter asks.
"Of course Mr Potter, i will tell Isabella as we leave." McGonagall smiles then levitates Weasley out the common room followed by Pomfrey and Snape.
"Damn, Ron has gone mental" Harry finally says once they leave.
" i think i will go check on Hermione, Do you want me to get Luna for you?" i ask heading to the Head Girl's room.
" Yer ta, it's about time we went to Black Lake" he smiles as i enter the room.
