Love and trust Chapter 2:

Hermione collapsed on her bed cursing Malfoy under her breath for sneaking into the bathroom before her and lay motionless for several minutes thinking about the year ahead. She hoped it would not be like this every morning, she would like some time in her bathroom, that vain little prick!

Eventually, after about twenty minutes of seething, there was a loud rap on her bathroom door followed by his drawling voice

"I'm finished now... "

"Finally" she fumed, straightning the towel around herself then marching towards the door, slamming it open... straight into Malfoys face...

"oouuuchhh!!!! you stupid bitch... that bloody hurt!" he cried out, grabbing furiously at his nose and rubbing it to ease the pain yet making it glow a brighter shade of pink than it already was.

This only made the, seemingly perfect situation better for Hermione as she mentally similarised Draco with Rudolf the reindeer. She began to giggle, although she tried to hide it, whilst apologising rarther half heartedly

"sorry... Malfoy, I didn't... realise you were so... close" she managed gasping for air by the end of it.

"Think it's funny do you Granger?" he spat "I'll show you something bloody terrifing in a minute"

She regained her composure and leaned closer towards his face studying it very quickly. "yeah that is pretty shocking" she sarcastically replied before exploding in a fit of laughter once again.

At this he stormed out into his room cursing the day she became head girl.

********************************************************

That morning went by quite well for both Hermione and Draco, they wern't set to see each other until fifth lesson but, in a stroke of luck for Hermione, she was called to the headmasters office during lunch and was told to send her school things to her room as she would not need them for the rest of the day. So, after Ron had collered a house elf to take Her things away and Hermione had gave him a dissaproving look for it "What!" he had replied witha slight grin, "they love it", she set off up the staircase to the gargoyle statue outside dumbledores office. Then realised that she didn't know the password. Crap! She was about to turn around and try to find a teacher when the gargoyle suddenly sprung to life and out stepped Dumbledore and...

"Malfoy...?"

"Ahhh Hermione" Dumbledore smiled "Excellent timing, yes excellent. Well Draco and I have had a slight... discussion" at this he looked at Malfoy, indicating that their conversation had led to more than a slight discussion. "and we have come to an agreement"

"A...an agreement about what professor?" Hermione chirped in very confused

"Urmm... Draco if you could wait here for us please..." he conjured up a comfortable looking arm-chair "and we will be back down momenmtarily"

Malfoy sat but did not seem at all comfortable, in fact, he seemed to have quite a lot on his mind and Hermione stepped onto the escalating stairs with Dumbledore not knowing what was about to be said and not realising that in about ten minutes she would gladly go back to being confused.

********************************************************

"You want me to WHAT???" Hermione sprang out of the chair she was sitting in by Dumbledores desk, absolutly livid. "No way. I do not want people to think THAT"

"Hermione please calm down, let me explain things first"

At her headmasters words she realised that her outbreak was uncalled for and she sat back down blushing with embarrassment but still adament that she should not, would not go out with DRACO MALFOY!

"You have seen the way the students in this school are behaving It's a complete shambles... fights in the hallways, duelings at lunch. It is not on and you two as head boy and head girl should try to set an example"

"Can't we just TELL them to behave?" she moaned

Dumbledore sighed "I will not force you to do anything you do not wish to, Hermione, but I think you should have a word with Draco, he has already accepted the proposition

"What! are you kidding"

He left the room to fetch Draco

"Well thats a turnout for the books" she mumbled to herself.
