Content in Contempt

Hermione Granger. AKA Mudblood. Pretty much the bane of his existence. She didn't know that though, and it was going to stay that way. I mean seriously, if it got out that he felt anything, even if it was that she got to him so much, it would simply ruin his rep. Completely. And if SHE ever found out…well anyway, she made his life hell from the first day of their first year at Hogwarts. And without even knowing it! That bitch ruined his life time and time again, and had no idea what she was doing! That's a big reason why he set out to make her life as hellish as possible. You see, Draco had always been number one at everything. He was the richest, the best looking, that best at quidditch (yes, he was even better than Potter), and the most popular. Unfortunately, the one thing that mattered most to him was the one thing the mudblood beat him at. She got better marks than him. He knew it was because she was such a suck up and she studied all the time. Oh yeah, and she did all her work. But Draco knew all the stuff, he didn't need to do that busy work. It drove him MAD that she beat him EVERY FUCKING YEAR. His father was embarrassed that his son, his own flesh and (pure) blood, was second best to a mudblood, one of Potter's friends no less. Such a thing was unthinkable! Of course, Draco didn't care much about what his father had to say. He was a real hardcore rebel. When it came it his father…as long as he wasn't around anyway. Anyway, he was pissed that he was second best at all! He was not as good as this…this…girl!
He broke his train of thought and looked at the figure in the doorway. Girl? he thought, this is no girl. This is a woman! And a beaut – wait, what am I saying?!? She's scum, I could never see her as more than that. I won't let myself. Draco was shocked at the thought that had almost crossed his mind, but then he realized that Granger was looking at him with a look of utter confusion, and a little bit of fright. Shit. He'd been staring at her. He didn't even notice. Think fast, think fast…
"Surprised to see me here Granger? Or are you just marveling at my beauty?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Malfoy, you were staring at me."
"Don't get excited Granger, I can tell you want me, but sorry, I don't associate with filth."
"Get some new material Malfoy," she retorted as she took a seat on the opposite side of the train, "because the old stuff's starting to bore me."
Draco was surprised by her response. She normally said something short and automatic, like "shove-it!" or "fuck you!" This time, however, she had a quick and witty response. She changed a lot over the summer.
And he was a little bit turned on. Ok, yes, she was dirty, and he would never touch her, not even with a 10 ft. pole. But he had to admit, she was hot.
Speaking of which, he looked across the aisle to where she was sitting when he realized she was looking out the window. This gave him an opportunity to examine the new Granger. He guessed she was about 5'4", but it was hard to tell while she was sitting down. She had lost whatever chubbiness there was last year, and was basically the perfect weight (whatever that is). She had a pretty full figure, with wide hips (but not too wide), a nice round ass, and pretty big tits (probably a d cup). She was wearing dark flare jeans held up by a black studded belt. On her feet were plain black converse sneakers. On her torso she wore a red "Ramones" t-shirt that was pretty form fitting, and came to just above her belly button.
And then there were the piercings. Of course she had the regular holes, one in each ear, as well as second holes. Also in each ear she wore an industrial, one with green balls and one with pink balls. She had snake bites in her bottom lip where there were two plain silver balls at the end of the post-type lip rings. And last, but definitely not least was the silver cresent-shaped belly button ring with blue balls on it, which looked right at home on her flat, tan stomach. She had stretched the two normal piercings to 6 gauge, and was planning on stretching them further, probably to 0 gauge.
Draco wondered how she could've lived through all those piercings. He had only gotten on ear pierced over the summer, and that was painful enough to last a lifetime. He didn't have a very high tolerance for pain. He was pretty sure she had the two holes in each ear before the summer, but still, even without those, that's a lot to get over only 3 months. Although he found all of her peircings sexy, only adding to her overall sexiness, he cringed at the thought of someonepoking more holes in him.
Just then, as he was getting lost in thought (or maybe he already was…well whatever), McGonagall walked into the Head's compartment, he assumed to give them their instructions for the new year as heads. Draco was a little bit perplexed as to why she was even on the train. Hmm, I didn't think she took the train. That's kind of weird, I would've thought she lived there all year long. Or found her own way, considering she can apparate…
"Good afternoon Hermione, Draco. Congratulations on becoming head boy and girl! Now, I know you two don't exactly, uh… get along, but I expect that you will set a good example for your peers, especially the underclassmen, who really look up to you. Be aware that Professor Dumbledore and I will not hesitate to revoke the title – from either of you – if we deem in appropriate. Do I have your word that you will at least be civil towards each other?"
"…Yes," they both hesitantly responded.
"Good. In that case I'll tell you about your duties as head boy and girl this year. To start, each night at 11:00 you two will be patrolling the corridors to make sure everyone has gone to bed. At midnight you will go to bed. You will organize and hold prefect meetings monthly, or as needed. After the meetings you will report back to Professor Dumbledore and myself. You will also be responsible for planning the graduation dance. You may choose your committee for this as you please, but be aware, this isn't to be taken lightly. It's a lot of work, so be wary of who is to help you. You will be able to award and deduct house poi– "
"WHAT?!? Gryffindor will have no house points left after the first month – not even, the first week – of classes!!" Hermione was really mad about this. "There's no way you'll be able to control Malfoy"
"Ms. Granger…"
"I mean, you must know, professor, that he's not very fond of Gryffindors, none of the Slytherins do."
"Ms. Granger…"
"This is so unfair. It's ridiculous! I can't believe…"
"MS. GRANGER! Please! If you're going to be head girl, even as a student at Hogwarts, behavior like this is unacceptable!"
Draco felt the need to chime in. He just couldn't resist. "Yeah Granger, you're too old to be flying off the handle like this. Shame on you!" He was almost in hysterics.
Hermione was even angrier after Draco's remark. "Shove it, Draco. Unlike you, I can't go running to daddy to fix all my problems, I have to fight my OWN battles."
Draco's smirk faded, "DON'T talk about my or my family like that. You don't know anything about it."
"Ms. Granger! Mr. Malfoy! This is exactly what I was talking about! I hope this is the last display I'll see for the rest of the year! You two had better behave like adults this year, am I making myself clear?" Professor McGonagall had had enough of these two, acting like children.
"Yes," was the almost quiet response.
"As I was saying, before I was interrupted, you will both be able to award and duct house points HOWEVER if Professor Dumbledore or I feel you are abusing this power, either of you, we will take the appropriate actions. Now, Ms. Granger, wince you are technically no longer in Gryffindor house, their points should not concern you, though I do admire your loyalty."
Hermione was confused, "Wait…not part of–"
"Let me finish. This brings me to my next point. It is most likely that neither of you have noticed this in the past, but the head boy and girl do not live in the houses they previously belonged to. Rather, they share a common room, with separate rooms connected to it."
Draco was in shock. He had to live with the mudblood?!? How is it possible he never noticed that the heads lived together? Oh great, he thought, Granger's going to bother me all year, I know it. She's going to be studying all the time, always yelling at me to be quiet or something, she probably won't let me have any parties, or even any girls over, for that matter! She's going to be a pest, and she's going to ruin my year! THIS FUCKING SUCKS BALLS!
Hermione was quite shocked and upset as well. Oh no, oh no, OH NO! This was supposed to be the year of Hermione! This was supposed to be the year of Hermione! This was supposed to be the best year ever! AND NOW HE'S GOING TO RUIN IT! I can't believe this! I can't fucking believe this. I can't live the whole year with that…that…scum! So he's good looking. Ok, he's fucking hot. But so? That's doesn't make him pleasant, that doesn't make it any better. He's going to get in my way. He won't let me do any of my muggle shit. And he probably won't let me have any good parties either, rich prat. He definitely won't appreciate muggle booze either. FUCKING SHIT!!
Professor McGonagall could already see by the looks they were giving
each other that there was a very high level of animosity between the
two. Oh dear. This is going to be a long year...
The long awaited chapter! I'm sooo sorry it took so long, but I've been really busy, and I haven't had much motivation to write. Hopefully it normally won't take this long to come up with a new chapter. Since I'm making up everything as I go, it shouldn't take too long, if I feel like writing. Unless I get major writer's block.
If you're still reading, thanks for sticking around. I appreciate your loyalty. Or…is that the right word? Whatever. Thanks.
Oh, and don't forget, if you see any spelling/grammar mistakes, please let me know. I'm pretty good at weeding them out, but I'm also very lazy.
