Hermione's POV
I grab my suitcase that I took on board with me and make my way off the train and wait for Harry, it wasn't until I saw him and Ron make their way towards the front of the large group of people getting on the carriages that I realised that they had ditched me in order to get the best carriage. I sigh and rub my face with my free hand and slowly make my way to the last few carriages left.
I stop mid step when a head of blonde hair passed me and head towards the carriages that will take us up to the castle. Of course I knew who it was but I stand there in wonder as to why he would return.
By by the time I reach them there's only one carriage left which hold someone that I recognised from ravenclaw and Draco Malfoy. I haul my suitcase onto the floor of the carriage and climb in and take a seat text to the Ravenclaw boy.
Half way up to the castle I had noticed a pair of eyes on me and I pull my gaze away from the strange horse like creature pulling the carriage and look over to Malfoy who diverts his gaze to somewhere else and squirms in his seat probably because he got caught staring, I curiously look at him for a moment with a slight smile before pulling a book out from my suitcase and deciding to read for the rest of the trip up to the castle.
I sit down between Harry and Ron at the table and listen to McGonagall's speech and I fix my badge and pick off some invisible fluff from my robes.
"And now I would like to introduce you all to your new Head Boy and Girl, Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger."
There's a mixture between loud applause and silence when they realise that Malfoy was the Head boy and that's when slurs and cuss words were sent his way and they were all silenced by our headmistress.
"I will not tolerate any bullying of sorts towards your Head boy, this is a time of unity for our houses and I would like all sorts of prejudice gone, now as I was going to say, if anyone had any questions about schoolwork or such then do not hesitate to ask your Heads and they will assist you, lastly I would like to see you both before you leave, now please enjoy the feast."
I go to grab some food but my hand stops when Ron starts talkin next to me. " I can't believe that slimy coward of a death eater is back and let alone Head Boy, don't worry 'Mione, if he even looks your way I'll take care of him."
He places his arm protectively around my waist and pulls me close to him and I pull myself and take his arm off of me.
"Excuse me Ronald, but incase you didn't hear properly, McGonagall said that she will not tolerate prejudice of any kind and I would rather and I would rather not have to take away house points before the first day of school even starts."
He he opens his mouth to speak but I hold my hand up, cutting him off. "Not today, please Ron." I sigh and continue eating.
Draco's POV
After everyone had left the Great Hall I make my way over to the new Headmisteress and stand next to Granger.
"Good evening Mr Malfoy, Miss Granger." We both nod and she smiles. " There have been a few changes with your dorm so if you'll both please follow me then I will show you to it and explain a few things on our way there."
We we follow her to the third floor and the whole time she is blabbering about some duties and such and I couldn't help but look at granger out of the corner of my eye. The whole way up she has listened to the Headmisteress eager to know what our duties and such were and I had to hide my smirk, same old Granger. I also couldn't help but notice other things about her.
Like the way her hair had turned into soft curls instead of the birds nest that it had previously been, her skin looked soft to touch and I notice the light dusting of freckles across her nose and cheeks. I'm pulled out of my thoughts when we stopped at a portrait of a man and woman with a snake around their shoulders and a lion lying at their feet.
"Now the password is sacrifice, if you wish to change it make sure you are both present at the time and both agree on the change otherwise it will not work, I will leave you both to get settled in, and congratulations to you both."
We smile at the Headmisteress and Granger says the password and we walk in and gaze around the large room and I have a feeling that now things are going to change for me big time.
