AN: Thanks for the reviews guys! I'm going to fix the mistakes right away, thank you for pointing them out. I know that Harry and Ron are a bit OOC, but please bear with me for the next little while. Thanks, please follow, favourite and review!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter and I am not making any money off of this.
Previously:
"Who's the head boy?" I asked him as he stopped at a compartment door.
"The best looking guy in the school?" He said smirking.
"So that narrows out you," I said, fake pondering. He scowled at me and entered the compartment. McGonagll was already there and she looked ready for business. There was no one else in the room except for her, Malfoy and I...oh no.
Presently:
"Hermione dear, are you feeling alright?" McGonagall asked, looking concerned.
"I'm fine thanks," I said, meekly nodding. I scurried into my seat and glared at Malfoy. How could he be the head boy?
"So, I would firstly like to congratulate you both on becoming the Heads and I would also like to welcome you back to Hogwarts," the Headmistress started. "There are a few details we have to go over before I can let you go back to your friends," She continued. Malfoy snickered and McGonagall narrowed her eyes. "Do you find something amusing Mr. Malfoy?" She asked calmly, regaining her composure.
"Oh, it's just your last comment about going back to our friends. Because frankly, it doesn't look like Granger here has any," He smirked and leant back against his seat. I clenched and unclenched my fist and took several deep breaths. Stupid git, he's just meddling with things that he can't possibly understand!
"Now Mr. Malfoy!" McGonagall exclaimed. "I expect you to have more respect for Ms. Granger here. Seeing as you two will be sharing a dorm-"
"WHAT?!" Malfoy and I yelled at the same time.
"I am NOT sharing my dorm with a snake!" I exclaimed, glaring profusely at the snake in question.
"And I am NOT sharing a dorm with a nosy, book wormy, Gryffindor!" He retorted harshly.
We both turned and glared at each other over the other ones comments. I started to speak again before the Headmistress cut me off.
"That is enough you two! You will obviously be sleeping in separate rooms and don't have to see each other unless for meetings, patrols and/or school assignments and classes. It's not the end of the world to have to share a dormitory. Every other head has done it before, so I expect no less from you!" She declared. She folded her arms across her chest before exhaling and pointing at each of us in turn. "I expect the best behavior from you two. You are role models, all of the younger students will be looking up to you, considering you are both war heros," She explained. I scoffed at her remark but other then that, I remained silent.
"You two have some work to sort out. It's all written out on these here papers," She gestured towards a small pile of papers beside her on the seat, "Read them over, discuss how you both are going to equally share the workload and when you are done, you can return to your old compartments," McGonagall said, standing up and heading towards the door. "And one more thing; please don't burn the train down," She said before securely shutting the door.
We both looked at the pile of papers and simultaneously lunged for them. We ended up banging our heads together, knocking over the pile of papers and start an argument. Merlin this was going to be a long year.
At Hogwarts:
The train finally pulled into the station and I quickly grabbed my hand bag and book before marching over to where a scared looking bunch of first years were. We heart melted seeing how scared they looked and remembering my first day here. Internally, I had been terrified, externally however, I had been as calm as a cucumber.
Malfoy and I lead the kids to the boats, of course along with Hagrid. We made our way across the lake and Malfoy and I didn't say a word to each other the whole time. After arguing almost the whole time on the train, neither of us seemed to want to carry on with our previous discussion. And I was definitely not in the mood to have to deal with him. He was such a boy; always immature, childish and looking for a fight. But unfortunately for him, he was at a disadvantage during our battle of wits. Often I would end it abruptly so as not to cause him even more of an embarrassment. I couldn't really fight in a battle of wits when my opponent was clearly disarmed before we even started.
We got to the school and lead the new students up to where Headmistress McGonagall usually stood, in her place was Professor Hooch, surprisingly. I glanced at Malfoy and he just gestured in the direction of the door. We silently slipped inside and took our seats. I sat beside Neville who had also come back to finish his last year. After the students were sorted and McGonagall gave her speech, every hungrily devoured the feast in front of us. The house elves had done a great job this year!
When the meal had finished I grabbed my instructions from my bag and followed them up to the heads dormitory. I whispered the password and was shocked by what I saw…
