Life Or Something Like It

Authors note- Hey thanks for the reviews those of you that reviewed! The story is not complete yet; there are about 25 chapters, so there's still a long way to go. I do not own Harry Potter or any of its characters just enjoy my version of this story.

Chapter 3:

As the Head mistress entered the cabin, she took a seat next to Draco.

" Mr. Malfoy, Miss. Granger, Congratulations on the highest honor the school can offer. It is a big honor, and responsibility, and I will trust that the two of you will be able to put aside your differences to use your power well." She looked at both of us and we both just nodded. Then she looked at me with a concerned expression.

" Oh, Miss. Granger, I do hope you are feeling better, Mr. Malfoy has been taking of care of you since you boarded the train."

" Oh, yes Ma'am I'm fine. Thank you." Did the whole train know about Draco having to carry me on the train? No, probably not, It's the Head Mistress's Job to know everything.

" Well that's good to hear", she got up, and made her way to the door. Before she could leave she turned to face both of us and very seriously said; " As Heads you will have great responsibilities. You will be the last ones to leave the train, to check and make sure everyone has gotten off safely and to their carriages. There will also be a special carriage waiting for the two of you. When you arrive at the castle it will be your responsibility to inform me that the train has departed, everyone is off safely, and the first years are out side the Hall waiting my further instruction. Once I leave to escort them in you will take a seat at the feast in your respectable house's tables, and wait my further instruction." She waited for a response. " Is that clear?"

" Yes " We both said in unison.

" Then I will leave you, congratulations again, and welcome back." Then she turned and shut the door behind her.

The rest of the trip was pretty quiet between Malfoy, and me but it was ok because it gave me time to think about everything with out a cocky interruption. When we finally arrived I noticed Malfoy was a sleep. I watched him sleep for a while; he seemed so peaceful, and almost human just like everyone else.

" Malfoy" I leaned over him " Malfoy" I said a little louder, and he jolted awake, and I just stared at him. Why am I just staring at him? " Um, Where here, you should probably change into your robes." Good one Hermione, nice save. He lazily got up and pulled his robes out of his trunk. He stated to slowly unbutton his shirt that he had been wearing, revealing a very muscular chest. My god… he looked good. NO wait! There I go staring again. Damn it why do I keep doing that?

" Excuse me! But what do you think you are doing?"

" I'm changing into my robes" He raised his eye brows" What do you think I'm doing?" He went back to undressing, and off Came the shirt. He started to undue his belt.

" Not here!" I screamed, and he looked at me and just smirked. Was he insane or just trying to drive me crazy?

" Oh come on admit it, you know you want to watch!" I couldn't help but blush, and he saw this and smirked. I most certainly not want to see Draco Malfoy naked! I practically screamed it in my mind.

" No! I certainly do not want to watch, you disgusting ferret!" I shot him a death glare. " Go somewhere else to change" I suggested.

" Just turn around then Granger" He was still smirking. Man I wish I could just smack the smirk right off his face." Look the rest of the students are already unloading, and fully dressed. So how will it look if the Head boy isn't even in his yet?"

" Oh yea, well how will it look to everyone that walks by and see you and me in here, and your changing in front of me?"

" Don't be so paranoid, it won't look like anything. The Heads compartment is charmed. No one can see in only we can see out." I crossed my arms " Turn around granger I'm not going else where to change "

" Fine!" I turned around and tried to think about something… anything else. I glanced down at the floor " Hurry up we have to check the train"

" Hold on, you can't rush perfection." I uncrossed my arms and turned around;" Just put on your robes its not a beauty contest" I looked at him fully dressed and staring at me with a smug look.

" Ok I'm ready, lets go" I rolled my eyes and followed him out of the compartment to search the train. We found a couple 2nd years a sleep, and 2 fourth year slytherins snogging on the back of the train. So I took 10 points from each of them for inappropriate behavior. Malfoy gave me a look of hatred, but couldn't really say anything because if they were any other houses he would have done the same, especially griffindor. The rest of the time between us was spent silent all the way up to the castle. This is going to be an interesting year I thought to my self.
