The Tale Of Two Hearts
After the war they return to Hogwarts to finish their final years. Both Hermione and Draco are heads, Lucius is locked away in Azkaban and could that be the reason Draco is being so nice? Or is it something deeper?
Chapter 1
Hermione sighed as she made her way to the Heads compartment on the famous Hogwarts Express. Why him? She thought. Why would McGonagall choose him as a head if she knew I couldn't stand him? She had thought of this every day since she had found out Malfoy and her would be Heads together.
She had found the Heads compartment empty. Maybe he decided not to return. She thought hopefully but she found her dream shattered when she heard the compartment door open.
"Malfoy" she said coolly
" Granger," he replied nodding in her direction
That was odd. He was actually acting civil toward me.
" I figured you would be the Head Girl, since you always received top marks." He said almost politely
What no mudblood or insufferable know it all?
" You were always second best Ferret boy"
He just chuckled. Now she was getting suspicious. Why would Death Eater Draco Malfoy be civil toward me? Let alone laugh at what I said, and it was an insult no less.
Why hasn't he insulted me yet? She thought
"Because people change Hermione"
She was startled when he had answered. Had he read her mind?
"You said it out loud." He said
She looked into his eyes. They were no longer filled with cold hatred and evil. Instead she saw emotions that looked as if they were compassion and care. She noticed how his appearance had changed. His eyes were still gray and his hair was still a pale golden blonde but his face had changed. His usual sneer was replaced by a look of fear and worry. He had bags under his eyes like he hadn't slept in weeks. Instead of the arrogant and proud snotty Slytherin he once was, a broken and scared boy immerged. She felt pity. She imagined his childhood was not anymore pleasant. Lucius was probably a horrible father figure. Maybe there was more to Malfoy than she had originally thought.
She was broken from her thought when she heard someone clear there throat. She turned and saw McGonagall standing there. She proceeded to tell them their head duties and such but she was only half listening. Merlin, this is going to be a long year.
