Chapter 2

Heyy;)

My last chapter was 394 words...exactly. :O Aside from the awesome Snape reference, I know that's really short. But, if y'all read and provide me with reviews/suggestions, I promise to make the chapters longer as this story goes on. I know how i want this to turn out, but I'm not exactly sure on how to get there.

"Draco Malfoy's Head Boy?!" asked Ginny. Her red head seemed to be on fire. And it was, literally. Hermione leaned closer the the Gryffindor common room fire to speak with her friend.

"Yeah, he is. And, if that isn't enough, I'm going to have to share a dorm with him. From tomorrow. Can you imagine?"

"Wow..." Ginny breathed. "You know, Hermione, aside from the fact that Malfoy's a great git, he's really hot, you know? I bet all the girls are going to be jealous!"

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Believe me, he doesn't look all that any more. His eyes and cheeks are completely hollow, and he looks as if he hasn't slept in ages. But..." Hermione spoke in a hush, and with honest concern, " I spoke to Professor McGonnagal during the feast. She said that Malfoy's been depressed for a while now, even before the war began. He was forced by his own friends to become a Death Eater, and he has lost all will to live. He's tried committing suicide, too. I'm supposed to...take care of him. Apparently, Dumbledore and Snape said they trusted me to do the job."

Ginny looked thoughtful. "I hope you'll be able to help. Anyways, I need to go now. Any words for Harry and Ron?"

"Give Harry my love; tell him I'll send an owl tomorrow. And Ron...oh, let him figure out whether or not to keep in touch with me himself!" Hermione suddenly felt a surge of anger against her immature, pushy boyfriend. He was starting to turn into...no wait, he had already turned into an attention seeking prat, just like Draco Malfoy.

Ginny laughed. "I know my brother can be a git at times, but you did give him a kiss before you boarded the train, you know?" she teased.

"Right now I'm regretting it," said Hermione firmly.

Ginny smiled and her head disappeared from the crackling flames. Hermione sighed and went up to her dorm. It would be her last night here. Tomorrow, before her classes, she would have to move all her stuff to the Heads' Dorm and move in with Malfoy.

She tossed and turned in her bed. "He is somewhat good looking," she thought. Then she scolded herself . "When did you having such thoughts about your..."

Her heart skipped a beat.

"Is he really my enemy?"

I know the Head Boy&Girl thing in Dramione fanfics is really common, but it's the most legit way of putting the two of them together. The story/my writing will get better. Promise. Please review:D
