October

With Hermione and Draco focusing on their head duties, they were able to have the excuse to leave at any hour with minimal complaint. Harry and Ginny were able to get away from Ron easily if they hinted at a budding romance, and since Ron was fine with it, he urged them forward with a few warnings to not hurt his baby sister. What they didn't expect one evening was for Dumbledore to call them to his office.

Worried he uncovered everything, they both walked trepidly to see what he called them for. Once they entered, and took a seat, Dumbledore offered them a lemon drop before continuing.

"I'm bringing back a Hogwart's tradition, it hasn't been implicated in around 90 years, but I believe with cooperation from both ends, and step's in the right direction, we can achieve the end goal: House Unity. I'm bringing back Head dorms, it will have a shared common room, kitchenette, along with two bathrooms, and six bedrooms. The reason it has eight bedrooms, instead of two, is because you can each choose to bring along three housemates.

"Originally, it was just the Head students, sharing the dorm, but in certain circumstances, it ended in teenage pregnancy. So, we've added on a few more bedrooms to reduce the risk. Do you have any idea who you'd like to bring?"

"I know I'd like to bring Harry and Ginny, sir. Ron might be interested, but he might deny it when he learns that Draco and whomever he chooses to bring is there." Supplied Hermione.

With Draco hearing about Ron being there, he got in a quick matchmaker role to think about who might be best paired with the weasel, other than Lavender.

"I'd like Pansy and Blaise, but for the third person, do you care if I ask Hermione about it first, sir?"

"Go right ahead." Said the Headmaster with a twinkle in his eye.

"Hermione, think of somebody in Slytherin that Ron would be interested in, um, friendly matters. I know he's with Lavender, but we both know she's no good for him."

Shocked with the way Draco was thinking, she went over the Slytherin girls in their year. There was Pansy, Daphne, Millicent, Lily, and Sophie. With Pansy already chosen, she decided to take a look at the other 4 girls. She knew Ron wouldn't get along with a prissy, and snobbish girl, or with a girl of brute nature. With that leaving only Sophie and Lily, she decided on Lily because she was a kind, outspoken girl, and she wasn't shy, or quiet like Sophie.

"How about Lily? Do you guys get along with her good? If she's fine with you, then you should choose her." Decided Hermione.

With Ron and Lily both agreeing on being new dormmates, they were all ready to get settled in Quickly. Dumbledore led the eight students to the 4th floor corridor, and led them to a painting of a Lion, Snake, Eagle, and Badger. The Eagle and Badger were in the background respectively, while the Lion was intertwined with the snake, in a care-free embrace. With the password of Unity, there was a slight hiss and a roar and the portrait sprung forth.

When they entered, it was like the Gryffindor and Slytherin dorms were merged together. The room was round with rough black stone walls, and dark grey stone floors. A few gold chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and there was a large black, silver flecked marble fireplace. Above the mantle, was a glass mirror that had the appearance of looking under the black lake. Around the hearth, there was two black leather couches, with fur throws laid haphazardly over the back, and two long backed velvet armchairs on each end.

There was a sparsely filled bookcase build into the wall, with a few dark mahogany desks accompanying by it, each with their own stained-glass lamp, and near there was another dark velvet couch.

Past the furniture, there was two stone archways, the first one led to the kitchenette, fully stocked. Along with an 8-seater dining room table. The kitchen was decorated in a 50's style black and white tile. Going into the other archway, there was a small full bath before you went up the stairs.

With Dumbledore leading them, he explained how each room was a standard white, until the rooms' new owner placed their wand on the item, and thought the color they wanted it. Hermione and Draco chose the rooms on either side of the bathroom, that both had interconnected doors. Ginny, chose the room beside Hermione's, with Harry next, then Ron. Blaise also chose the room beside Draco, with Pansy next, followed by Lily.

With everyone settled in, Hermione got to work on decorating her room. Each room consisted of a large four poster bed, a wardrobe, a dresser, a separate desk, and a night table. Hermione settled on a dark brown cherry wood, with a teal duvet, white cream carpet, and teal and silver walls.

Draco's room was dominantly black, with grey's and silvers on the walls and comforter. Once everyone had their room decorated the way they wanted it, they all went down to settle around the fire before dinner.

Living with their secret around Ron and Lily was a lot easier then they expected. When they wanted to meet up, they just went to the other's room. The only person that had any real trouble getting away was Harry, but then Pansy would send Lily in talking about the Chudley Cannons, and she posed a real challenge playing Wizards Chess. Which Ron infinitely enjoyed.

On the day of Halloween, after the traditional feast, there was to be a Masquerade ball. Hermione got it approved by Dumbledore, and they let the Prefects plan it out. It was mandatory, for everyone to have Glamour's on, so no one knew of their true identity, unless they lowered them. Hermione and Draco planned to go, along with Ginny and Blaise.

Harry, Pansy, Lily, and Ron, decided to go and see where their fancy took them. Hermione and Draco both decided to wait until after they gave the head speech to put their glamour's in place.

With Hermione giving the speech, the explained the importance of the glamour charms were to unite the houses, and to let the stigma of whether someone was in Gryffindor, or Slytherin, everyone could mingle and dance without worrying about social acceptance, or even what their friends would normally think. Letting everyone give someone else a chance.

Hermione and Draco both slipped into the chamber where first years waited, and started applying their glamour. Hermione changed her dress into a Slytherin green and silver with underlying black along the skirt and sleeves. It had a traditional corset, drawing in her waist and amplifying her chest. She then straightened her hair, and transfigured it black, with lime green highlights. Focusing on her face, she changed her usually chestnut brown eyes to a silver-grey, along with thinning her face and raising her cheekbones. She also thinned out her nose, and made herself a little bit taller.

Draco also lengthened his hair to his shoulders, and dyed it black. He rounded his face, keeping a little bit of his angular jawbone. He shortened his nose a made it rounder. He also made his cheekbones rounder. He then made himself a foot shorter, and changed his eyes to a bright blue.

With some subtle notice-me-not charms they slipped out of the chamber and slipped onto the dance floor. They enjoyed a dance while looking about the room to see the varying degrees of spell work their classmates were able to do. Most of the girls were unrecognizable, but most of the boys kept the majority of their features. She could spot Ron on the other side of the room.

Enjoying her time in public with Draco, they danced for most of the night, until they both decided on a break for drinks and snacks. Unfortunately, while both Head students were busy on the dance floor, someone did get the nerve to spike the punch with firewhisky. Hermione, not wanting to ruin the night of her and Draco, decided to let it slide, and actually drunk more.

Heading back to the dance floor, with Hermione stumbling a bit, they were able to enjoy a few more dances, before Hermione wanted more to drink. The rest of the night went on into a blur, with Hermione holding her own on her liquor, they finally decided to head on back to their own rooms for the night.

AN: I know didn't mention Hermione or Draco being the Head students last chapter, honestly, I just completely forgot about it, but I hope this chapter clear's up any confusion. We can blame it on Dumbledore's natural scheming ways. Also, I know Lily Moon and Sophie Roper are not entirely canon characters, but Slytherin is missing 2 female students so I decided on them two. Aha, don't forget to favorite or review!
