AN: Hey! Sorry guys, I was on holiday so I didn't update...I'm so sorry! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the chapter...R&R!
"MALFOY!" I screeched, making him slap his hands over his ears and cower. Good.
"Woah, Granger! Calm down! Almost gave me a heartattack, you filthy mudb-" He cut off with a look of horror on his face. Hermione's heart dropped. "I-I didn't mean i-"
" 'Course you didn't, Malfoy. Ha." She laughed bitterly and unbelievingly. "Somethings never change, do they?" There was silence for a few beats while each one thought back to their previous years, one with bitterness and one with regret. "Anyway, are you Head Boy?" She asked coldy, no longer putting any emotion into her tone or face.
"Yes." That one word made Hermione feelings up and down like a rollercoaster. She was sick, hurt, miserable and scared, yet for some reason, excited and happy. That wasn't good. She now saw why McGonagall didn't tell her who the Head Boy was.
"Fine. We need to wait for the prefects, sort out a few basics, then go check the corridors." She said.
"Ok but, uh, the prefects are outside. They were waiting for us to let them in." Malfoy said, pointing at the door where in fact almost all the prefects were waiting. "I'll let them in." He opened the door and the prefects filed in with Hermione counting each one and checking them off the rota that was in the compartment. Each one was there.
"Right, well, as you've probably worked out, I, Hermione Granger, am Head Girl and he, Draco Malfoy, is Head Boy. Right now all we have to do is just tell you to check the corridors and stuff since we'll sort of Prefect Duty at the first meeting later on this week. So, yeah...anything else to add Malfoy?" She finally turned towards him and raised one eyebrow. He shook his head. "Good. Well, go...do...prefect stuff. Meet back here in half an hour, ok? Ok. Off you go." Hermione shooed them off.
"Hermione, you didn't let me finish my sen-" Yet again, she cut Malfoy off.
"Save your breath, Malfoy. No one wants to hear it." She stormed off, slaming the compartment door behind her and set off the patrol the corridors.
