Chapter 2: Meeting the Bride
Draco was sitting in the Heads Compartment when the door opened. His head snapped up as he thought, "this is her, this is my fiancée!" only he was disappointed to find it was only his godfather, none other than the infamous Severus Snape.
"Now Draco, I had nothing to do with the decision made about Head Girl and if you fight with her there will be severe consequences such as you loosing your status as Head Boy." He kept talking but after that Draco tuned him out and stared at him as though he was repeatedly saying blah, blah, blah. When Snape left ten minutes later, pleased with his lecture to Draco, Draco went right back to wishing Mudblood Granger wouldn't make everyone's expectations of her and make Head Girl. No anyone would be better than the Mudblood.
Just as he finished his wishing he heard familiar voices in the corridor, one belonged to Head Mistress Mcgonagall the other sounded familiar but he couldn't quite place it. That is until the door opened and he caught a glimpse of bushy hair knowing the inevitable had happened. The Mudblood had made Head Girl.
Hermione went through the barrier at platform 9 and ¾ when she was caught in a sandwich hug between Harry and Ron.
"Hey guys, how was your summer?" she asked.
"Brilliant, and I never had to go back to the Dursley's this year!" Harry said.
"Wow, that's great and how was yours, Ron?" she asked turning to Ron who was steadily turning a deeper shade of red.
"Let's just say Lavender came to see him for a week this summer." Harry answered for his friend.
"Oh, well, guess what!" she said trying to hide her disappointment. She has hoped Ron had broken things off with Lavender.
"What!" Ron said, glad to be off the topic of his summer.
"I made Head Girl!" Hermione answered excitedly.
"Wow that's awesome, we knew you would!" Ron and Harry answered simultaneously before glaring at each other.
Hermione just laughed before saying, "I think you two have spent a little too much time together lately. Oh Crap! I have to go I'm supposed to sit in the Heads Compartment for the prefect/head meeting then I have to ride there so I won't see you guys again until we're back at Hogwarts. So Bye!" and with that she left, walking quickly to avoid being late. As she left she heard Harry and Ron talking.
"She'll be nutters by the end of the year." She heard Harry saying.
"Yeah, but at least we won't get into as much trouble this year with her as Head Girl." Came Ron's reply.
She missed anything Harry was saying because by now she was too far away to hear anything else. All she could think about as she dragged her trunk along was that Harry and Ron were in for a nasty surprise because although they were her friends she wasn't going to be letting them off the hook even once.
As she continued musing with thoughts of how funny their faces would look when she reprimanded them Mcgonagall walked up to her telling her she had passed the Head's Compartment by three doors. Hermione thanked her and went back to the compartment. Before she opened the door she took a deep breath all the while thinking, "this is it my fiancée is on the other side of this door."
As she opened the door she saw a shock of platinum blond hair and knew instantly that the Ferret had made Head Boy. "He can't be she thought, no, I can't marry Malfoy, I just can't." How? She had no idea. So she asked, "Hey Malfoy how did you manage to make Head Boy? Surely there was someone else much more qualified for the honor."
"Mudblood as you should well know I am first in our class after you and therefore have made Head Boy fair and square whether you like it or not." He replied wittily while thinking, "Wow has she changed over the summer." And she had. Her hair was no longer bushy and now hung in honey brown ringlets down her back. Her figure resembled a perfect hourglass. Instead of the old mud brown her eyes had been they were now a deep brown that had hints of gold in it. He noticed she no longer wore baggy clothes but clothes that showed off her figure. She was wearing a white tank top that showed off her curves and a light blue mini skirt that had three layers each deepening in blue as it went to the next. Draco knew now he wouldn't mind looking at her even though he was still against the thought of dating let alone marrying her.
Little did Draco know Hermione had been doing her own quick look see as to how much he had changed over the summer. He was now three inches taller and had broad shoulders. He was wearing a black t-shirt that had the saying "don't mess with the affairs of the dragon for you are crunchy and good with catsup" on it in emerald green letters. He was wearing dark blue jeans and black converse.
She had to admit he looked a lot better than he used to.
Since Hermione finished her look see a lot faster than Draco had she noticed he was staring at her and wished she had worn something less revealing. She decided to stop his staring with a witty comment.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer, oh wait, I forgot you don't look at mudbloods. This is sad I thought you hated me and yet here you are drooling over me. Now if you'll kindly stop drooling over me you will notice we are late for the prefect/head meeting." Yup, that stopped him.
"Well fine mudblood but I couldn't help but notice you staring at me as well." He said smirking. "And if you don't mind I don't think I'll go to the meeting. It's not like I haven't heard that lecture before." That got her mad.
"In case you haven't noticed, Ferret, we have to give the lecture not receive it. NOW GET OFF YOU LAZY ARSE AND MOVE SO WE CAN BE ON TIME!" She said getting louder until she started yelling. Did I just mention his arse?
"See now I have proof you were staring, and I don't appreciate being stared at by a mudblood, but fine I'll go as long as you shut up after."
"No problem, Ferret, as long as you STOP STARING AT MY CHEST, which you have been through this entire conversation. Oh, and by the way, it'd be nice if you came up with some new insults, but you're probably too stupid to, so let's go."
"Fine, Mudblood." He said storming out of the compartment.
"Whatever, Ferret." She yelled storming out right behind him.
