The next morning I woke up to a tapping on my door, I looked at the clock; it was only 5:30am, who was waking me up this early? I got up quickly thinking that this had to be an emergency, I launched myself to open the door, only to find Malfoy standing there, in his pyjamas which consisted of just some silk silver trousers, that was it, no top or anything. I tried to ignore his topless muscular figure, and focused on his face which was smirking as he took in my checked long pyjamas.
"What the hell do you want this early?" I asked scowling at him. Again avoiding his chest, I focused on his face which was again laughing at mine as I continued to scowl.
"Well I would've told you that McGonagall wanted to see us in her classroom, but I'm ignoring you so…"
"Oh for Merlin's sake, Malfoy get over yourself, put a shirt on so we can get going." I said pushing him out of the way of my closing door.
"What? You told me to ignore you! And anyway, why should I put a shirt on, it's not my fault she wanted us up this early, or is it because its intimidating for you? Does Weasel not have this good a body?" he said, not letting me close the door at all. I blushed at his accusation, and then composed myself.
"Well you clearly aren't ignoring me, because you're still talking to me! And again get over yourself!" I said pulling on a dressing gown and slippers, before shoving him out of the way to go into the heads common room. Before I got to the door, I turned round to glare at him, waiting impatiently. He was suddenly in hysterics, he hadn't even moved from his position by my door, I rolled my eyes and walked out, too annoyed to wait for him as I walked I cursed him under my breath, calling him all of the names I could. When I reached McGonagall's classroom I knocked on the door.
"Come in Miss Granger, Mr Malfoy!" she called from behind it, and I pushed it open, she looked up from her desk when I walked in and smiled at me.
"No Mr Malfoy then?"
"Not yet I'm afraid!"
"Good, sit down Miss Granger." She motioned towards a chair the other side of her desk, and I took it neatly confused about the 'good' part. She then continued talking.
"So while Mr Malfoy is not here, I wanted to speak to you."
"Yes?"
"Well as I'm sure you know, Mr Malfoy's reputation was destroyed during the battle of Hogwarts. And so I'm sure you can understand why I made him head boy?"
"Forgive me if this sounds rude, but no I don't understand, why not Harry or Ron?"
"Well Mr Potter and Mr Weasley already have enough limelight-"
"Then why me?"
"Because Miss Granger, I couldn't think of a better way to commend you for your efforts these past 7 years, and Miss Granger, Mr Malfoy I believe needs you!"
"Me? Why does he need me?"
"He needs you miss granger, because Mr Malfoy has nothing, once he leaves this place what will become of him? He has a bad reputation, and a family who are destroyed, he has no one looking out for him, no one except you!"
"Me? Me and Malfoy have been enemies since day one, why would that suddenly change?"
"Because Draco Malfoy is vulnerable, he knows what's happened to him, and he knows he can't change it, therefore, you are going to change him, make him a man worthy of a life, you will help him, befriend him, and look out for him, okay Miss Granger?"
"And if I don't want to?" I asked, angry that she was even asking me to do this, she looked smug now, and her face reminded me of Malfoy's. I'd never seen her look like this, although she was very stubborn, she'd make me do this whatever the cost.
"If you don't, you may find yourself back in the Gryffindor common room or maybe back in London!"
"London? You'll expel me?" I was outraged!
"If I have to, then yes!" she said.
"Fine."
"Good I'm glad we have that settled because we're about to be joined by Mr Malfoy!" and sure enough a few seconds later he came in the room, without even knocking.
"Ah Mr Malfoy, do sit down!" McGonagall called. He did as she asked smirking slightly at my irritated expression.
"well as our two heads, you will be responsible for giving each of the students their timetables, here they are" she said moving a stack of papers from the shelf to her desk using her want "I'll leave you two to organise it. Now off you go, back to your dorm." She said grinning slyly.
I jumped up from the chair, lifted the stack of papers and walked out of the room, Malfoy caught up easily, with his long legs, he was still in his pyjama bottoms but I was happy to see that he'd thought better and put a shirt on.
"So Granger, I've been thinking, that since this is our final year, and I need some fun to make my mind off of our NEWTs , that I'm going to try and be civil to you, since we're going to be working together a lot it seems."
I actually froze. This hadn't been what I wanted, and now it was all working out perfectly for McGonagall, why was this not going right for me, it was my final year too, I felt suddenly sad, I was meant to enjoy this, but instead I was forced to share a dorm with the one person in the school that I hated the most, and then I was forced to help him, and now, he was actually going to comply and be nice. It wasn't fair. But maybe, maybe he'd changed, maybe the guilt I saw on his face the previous evening was real, maybe the war had changed him, for the better.
"Malfoy? Are you being serious?" I said continuing to walk.
"Yes, I actually am Granger! Plus it'll piss of weasel and potter!"
I froze again, turning on him furious. "I knew it, you know, for once I actually thought you'd changed, I thought you could actually be an okay person, but people like you never change, you'll remain a heartless, judgemental, cold ferret for the whole of your life!" I was tired, moody, angry and I took all of this out on him, because, all of this was his fault, he'd ruined this year, and it was only the first day, and I hated him I hated Malfoy! But now he was just as furious as I was.
"People like me never change? The hell with you Granger! Its people like you that stop people like me from changing! Since the war I've wanted to change, my father's been sent to Azkaban, he's being punished for what he's doing, and my mother's in St Mungos, so me and her are being punished, and ever since I've been at Hogwarts I've been trying to just be a normal wizard, focusing on homework, being happy about being head boy, I've been teasing you, and the other's but everyone does that, its normal, and then there's you and everyone else judging me, making me be the person I used to be, well Granger, you judge me, you're the judgemental one, so stop being such a hypocrite!" he said and he stormed off.
I was speechless, I couldn't move. I felt bad, everything he'd said was true, I couldn't believe how bad it made him feel, his father was in Azkaban? His mother in st mungos? I didn't know, and then I'd just said all of that to him? How stupid was I? Smartest witch of my age? Yeah right! I didn't deserve to be head girl. Tears started falling down my cheeks, I watched him climb up a staircase, I knew where he was heading, the room of requirement. And I knew then that I had to follow him, because like it or not, Malfoy and I were in this together because if not, I'd have to leave this place. And I couldn't do that, Hogwarts was my home. So I ran, I ran as fast as I could to try and find him.
So that's chapter 3 , sorry if it's a bit short I hope you liked it, please review, thanks so much for reading 3
