Chapter 2
The next day Hermione woke up with a throbbing headache. She vaguely remember the previous day's events in a stressful blur. She had broken up with Ron... She sat upstraight in her four-poster bed. ...Only because he cheated on her with Lavender... Oh, she thought, and slunk back down. She would never return with him if he cheated on her, especially with that trashy Lavender.
Hermione went down to breakfast and served a small portion of food on her plate quietly, sitting considerately far away from the rest of the Gryffindor civilization.
Professer McGonagall cleared her throut. Hermione looked up to the staff table. McGonagall announced, "As you all recall, at the beginning of the term, I mentioned that I will be choosing the Head Boy and Girl around November, which it is now. If you have been chosen as Head Boy or Girl, I will let you know shortly after your last class today."
Hermione wanted to be Head Girl, all she asked was that Ron was not to be picked for Head Boy. Anyone but him.
So Hermione continued through her day, barely writing down notes like she always used to, when she had Ron, hr life sort of had a meaning: now it apparently had none. But Hermione thought she musn't concern herself with him and she must live on with her life.
Potions was her last class of the day, and when it was over, she headed towards the Gryffindor coommon room. When she was about to tell hte password to the Fat Lady, Professer McGonagall came up to her.
'Ms. Granger?"
"Yes, professer?"
"Ms. Granger, you have been chosed for Head Girl. Congratulations. Please meet me at the staff room in half an hour."
"Okay professer."
Hermione practically whispered the password to the Fat Lady, who replied with a lazy "ehh...?" and swung open.
She ran up the stairs to the girls dormitory and looked at herself in hte mirror. She looked horrible. She went to the wondow where the pitcher of cold water was and splashed some of it onto her face, partly to clean herself, and partly to wake herself up completely.
Hermione grabbed her brush and passed it through her hair a few times, then she made a long braid that went down her back.
For the half hour, she sat qiuetly on her four-poster, and then headed silently into the common room.
Harry and Ginny were sitting together there.
"Hey Hermione," said Harry. "Where are you going?"
"Oh, I've been picked ofr Head Girl," she replied quietly, and left for the staff room.
When she went inside, she would have never guessed who sat on the chair beside her. Draco Malfoy. He stared at her expresionless: both kindness and rudeness was far from his face.
McGonagall began to talk. "As Head Boy and Girl, you have certain resposibilities. Helping the younger students, helping organize events for the school, helping teachers, etcetera. You will be also sharing your own quarters. It contains a sitting room in the bottom level for you to sit and discuss plans, and to rooms on the top level for you to sleep. I expect you to move in tonight. That is about it, if you have any questions, please let me know."
Hermione and Draco both shook their head at McGonagall, and left hte staff room. Hermione headed back to the Gryffindor common room and her dormitory and threw all her things in her trunk. She came back down and this time Ginny spoke. "You're moving into your quarters already? Who's the Head Boy?"
"Yeah, and it's... Draco Malfoy," she added the last part quietly and stormed from the room.
The rest of the night she moved into the quarters and organized her things. The second Hermione's head hit the bed she fell asleep.
