The Daughter of Light And Dark

Chapter Six-School Starts

Hermione stood at King's Cross Station with Loren, Aunt Riana and Uncle Julius. She hugged each one of them.

"Remember keep your identity a secret darling," Riana whispered into her ear.

"Owl me every week, tell me everything. And please try not to study too hard," Loren said.

"Of course she should study," Julius said.

"I'm going to miss you guys," Hermione said.

"We have a surprise before you go," Riana said.

Suddenly The Grangers appeared smiling.

"Mum, Dad," Hermione said running to them to give them a hug.

"Hey sweetie," Mr. Granger said giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"We've missed you," Mrs. Granger said.

"I have too," Hermione said.

"Owl us," Mrs. Granger said.

"You'll always be my parents no matter what," Hermione said tears forming in her eyes.

"No crying honey, show some strength," Mr. Granger said.

"I'll try to visit as much as I can when I leave Hogwarts," Hermione said.

"We know," the two replied.

Loren just smiled at the family. "Mione, you've gotta catch that train now."

"Right," Hermione said walking towards the platform. "Oh, I'm Head Girl." she said as she disappeared through the platform.

"Wonderful, we're proud of you," Hermione heard from her mother.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione wanted to keep Faith with her instead of keeping her with the rest of the luggage. She didn't want to put Crookshanks away either. Faith sat on Hermione's robes where she left next to her.

*Why are you sitting on my robes? For all I know you could have an accident.* Hermione said.

*Mistress I would never do that. I've been trained well unlike some foul creatures.* Faith said her wing pointing towards the cat.

*I am not a foul creature you black bird* Crookshanks licking her paw.

Hermione laughed. Crookshanks hadn't taken a liking to Faith.

"What's so funny?" Harry asked followed by Ron, Ginny and Lavender into the compartment.

"Nothing," Hermione said but she couldn't help but laugh.

"Aww, your Raven is so cute," Ginny said looking at the blacked feathered and green eyed bird.

"Her name is Faith, it was my mothers," Hermione said.

"She must be old," Lavender said going to pet it.

*With age comes wisdom.* Faith

Hermione grinned, "With age comes wisdom."

"Well I guess you're older than your time Hermione with all that knowledge in your head," Ron said.

Hermione scowled. *Shut up.* Hermione messaged to Ron.

Ron almost choked on his chocolate frog after he heard that. "Ron honey, are you okay," Lavender asked.

"Fine," Ron said wondering if what he heard was for real.

Hermione laughed. "I love it," Hermione whispered.

Crookshanks started to fall asleep on Hermione's lap.

*Lazy cat.* Faith

"Did you notice how few First Years are here?" Ron said.

"Yeah," Harry said.

"Strange we usually have dozens," Ginny said.

"No, it's the correct number, it seems that next year we'll get more first years." Hermione said.

"Miss. Head Girl," Lavender said, "Knowing all."

"Tell us Hermione was does Dumbledore have planned," Ron asked.

"I'm not sure; do you know who Head Boy is?" Hermione asked.

"No," they replied.

"Hope it isn't a Slytherin," Ron said.

"Wouldn't it be scary if Malfoy got Head Boy?" Lavender said.

"That idiot probably would've paid his way to Head Boy. Remember Second Year?" Ginny said.

"I guess I'll find out at the Heads and Prefects meeting," Hermione said getting up to go. She put Crookshanks on her sit with a small blanket over her.

Crookshanks hated to be woken up again after he went to sleep and hissed. "Now now Crookshanks mommy will be back later," Hermione said.

"Argh you would think that cat were her child," Ron said disgusted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione skipped her way to the first compartment. "What are you so happy about Mudblood?" a voice called out.

Hermione paused she knew that voice. "Malfoy," Hermione acknowledged but didn't turn her back to look at him.

"Turn when I'm talking to you," he said.

Hermione was annoyed. "You think you can command me to do as you please, as if," she said reaching for the door of the compartment.

"As Head Boy I command you," he said.

"I'm Head Girl, you can't," Hermione said but then stopped mid-sentence.

"No, you can't be Head Boy," Hermione said turning to look at him.

Hermione looked at Draco. He had changed over the years. Quidditch had finally helped Draco gain a little muscle. His hair wasn't gelled back and he let it hang in his eyes making him look extremely cute. Hermione ran her eyes over his body. 'Wait a second; did I just call him Draco? Did I just check him out?' she thought. After realizing what she was doing she stopped and looked back to his face. Hermione realized then she shouldn't have done that because she looked right into his eyes that seemed to pull her in. 'Beautiful stormy gray eyes.' she thought then hit herself in the head mentally.

"See something you like?" he said with a smirk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Draco Malfoy stood proudly against the wall. He was now Head Boy and he was proud, all those hours in the library had paid off. He hoped that the Mudblood wasn't Head Girl but unfortunately she was. He saw her get on the train with the badge. How he hated her but deep down he admired how she studied and worked her way to the top.

'She's changed,' he thought as he looked at her. Her bushy had gone straight and silky and she had filled out nicely. 'Hey at least she isn't a Pansy.'

Draco shuddered as he thought about Pansy Parkinson. The little slut was convinced that she was his girlfriend. Crabbe and Goyle were standing next to him. "I have to go to the head and prefect's meeting," he said leaving them. 'Idiots don't have a single brain cell.'

He walked passed by The Golden Trio's compartment. He listened by the door.

"I'm not sure; do you know who Head Boy is?" he heard Hermione asked.

"No," they replied.

"Hope it isn't a Slytherin," Ron said.

"Wouldn't it be scary if Malfoy got Head Boy?" Lavender said.

"That idiot probably would've paid his way to Head Boy. Remember Second Year?" Ginny said.

'I didn't pay my way into Head Boy, I worked for it. Well maybe a little scare to Snape to make sure I had good grades but still I worked hard,' Draco thought.

"I guess I'll find out at the Heads and Prefects meeting," he heard Hermione said.

'Damnit better not let her catch me listening in,' he thought walking down the aisle.

He stopped at the first compartment leaning against the wall nonchalantly. Draco watched Hermione skip her way here.

"What are you so happy about Mudblood?" he said as she was near him.

"Malfoy," Hermione said but she didn't look at him.

"Turn when I'm talking to you," he said.

"You think you can command me to do as you please, as if," she said reaching for the door of the compartment.

"As Head Boy I command you," Draco said with a smirk. He knew Hermione hated commands.

"I'm Head Girl, you can't," Hermione said but then stopped mid-sentence. "No, you can't be Head Boy," Hermione said turning to look at him.

Draco grinned at how her eyes checked him out. She and him stared at each other for a moment. 'Her eyes,' he thought but then shook off the feeling before Hermione could say a word. "See something you like?" Draco smirked arrogantly.

"No," Hermione said turning and entering the compartment. Draco followed closely behind laughing to himself. 'The mudblood takes things too seriously.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Finally," Professor McGonagall said as Hermione and Draco entered, "Our Head Girl and Boy."

The prefects from each house sat looking to Hermione and Draco. "A Gryffindor and a Slytherin, doesn't Dumbledore know that they are rival houses. And plus everyone knows Malfoy hates Hermione as much as she hates him," the voice of Susan Bones from Hufflepuff said to her neighbor trying to be discreet but Hermione could hear every word.

"I think they made the right choice with choosing Hermione. She should've been a Ravenclaw," Terry Boot from Ravenclaw said to Susan.

McGonagall decided to ignore the comments of the two students and went back to business. "Alright, now that the Heads are here we can begin. As prefects you are to guide the students and also make sure your house is in order. You are to make sure your houses uphold the school rules, is that understood?"

Everyone nodded. "Well after you show the first years to their dorms you are all to report back to the Great Hall, where Professor Dumbledore will show you to the Prefects Tower and dorm. And Hermione and Draco will be shown to the Head dorms they will be residing at. It is next to the Prefects Tower. The two towers are opposite one another."

"Well meeting is done," Professor McGonagall said, "You all may go."

Hermione started to chat with Terry. They had become good friends since DA. "Well I better get back to Harry and the others," she said finally.

"Nice chatting with you Hermione," Terry said and before she departed she gave him a hug.

Hermione suddenly saw a flash. Terry was asking Susan out looking very nervous but then Susan had said yes. A huge aww went through her mind.

"Looking dazed Granger," Draco said calling her out of the vision.

"Flake off," Hermione said walking to Harry, Ron's and her usual compartment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Hermione got to the compartment it was awkward. She had walked in on two very heavy snog sessions. Hermione almost wanted to walk out feeling like the fifth wheel all of the sudden. Harry and Ron pulled from their girlfriends to look at Hermione which seemed to get Ginny and Lavender a little pissed off.

"I think I better leave you four," Hermione said walking back out calling Crookshanks and Faith to her.

"No, it's alright we're almost to Hogwarts anyway," Harry said.

"Mione don't leave," Ron said.

"I feel like fifth wheel here," she said.

"No it's okay," Lavender said.

The five then started to talk about classes and such. "You'll never guess who Head Boy is," Hermione said.

"Who?" Ginny asked.

"Malfoy," Hermione said.

"That ferret," Ron laughed.

"The one and only," Hermione said.

"That is sad," Harry said.

"He's hot," Lavender suddenly burrted.

Ron looked disgusted. "Lavender!"

"Hey, he is though Ron. I'm not denying that he's good looking," Ginny said. Harry was ready to puke.

"Not you too," Harry said.

"Don't worry sweetie, you're still my guy," Ginny said kissing his cheek.

"Ron I'm not interested in him, he's cute but you are cuter," Lavender said.

Hermione laughed. "You guys are so weird."

"Mione don't you think Malfoy is good looking though?" Ginny asked.

Hermione stopped laughing and thought about it. He was more then good looking but she wasn't going to admit to liking him. "He's alright. The bad thing about him is he is an evil conceited, stubborn, muggle hating idiot."

Lavender and Ginny nodded. "He is," they said.

The train stopped. The group started to get off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione smiled happily as she got off the train behind her friends.

*What are you so happy about?* Faith asked.

*Nothing.* Hermione said.

*Are you sure? I think your happy about something,* Faith said.

*Am not, just happy,* Hermione said.

*It's a boy,* Crookshanks thought.

*Is it?* Faith asked.

*I am just happy.* Hermione said.

"Hogwarts to Hermione," Ginny said waving a hand in front of Hermione.

"Sorry day dreaming," she said.

*About a boy.* Faith and Crookshanks said.

*QUIET!* she yelled.

When they got to the Great Hall it was the same as ever. *Faith, fly to the owlery. I'll call you when I know where to go for my dorm. Crooks please if you can stay under the table.* Hermione commanded.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts," Dumbledore announced as everyone got in. "I'll like to say I hope for a fabulous year full of magic. I want everyone to try to get along. Now this years Head Girl is Miss. Hermione Granger of Gryffindor."

Everyone but the Slytherin clapped and cheered as Hermione stood up. There were a few whispers of how pretty Hermione had become. "And our Head Boy is Mr. Draco Malfoy of Slytherin." With that Slytherins and half the female population clapped as he stood proudly. "Now I know First Years are all eager to get sorted. Let the Sorting begin and I will go to rules."

After two hours it seemed the 15 new students were sorted. Seven went to Hufflepuff, two to Slytherin, three to Gryffindor and three to Ravenclaw. "Now that everyone has been sorted I'll go onto the rules. No student shall be out after curfew other than the prefects who are doing their rounds. If a student is found they will serve detention. Another magic is not to be preformed in the corridors or hallways. And in a classroom you must have a professor present. And The Forbidden Forest is called Forbidden for a reason. Any student who has not been authorized entrance will serve serious consequences and many detentions with Mr. Filch."

"Now everyone may eat and then go to your dorms," Professor Dumbledore said ending his speech.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Isn't that Professor Lupin?" Hermione said pointing to the professors' table in front.

"I guess he's teaching Defense Against The Dark Arts again like he has been since last year," Harry said smiling to Professor Lupin.

"Mione he has been teaching here since last year, he should be here this year," Ron said.

Hermione nodded then went back to eating.

After what seemed like centuries everyone in Gryffindor House had finished and Hermione and the rest of the prefects lead them to the dorms.

"The password is Lilies," Hermione told each Gryffindor, "Everyone understand?"

Everyone seemed to nod. "Have a pleasant evening classes will start tomorrow. Prefects hand the times tables out," Hermione said.

Hermione sighed as she watched the first years. "It seems like only yesterday," Hermione said.

"What was yesterday?" Lavender asked.

"Our first year, we'll be graduating this year," Hermione said, "Oh how times flies."

"Yes," Lavender agreed.

"Done," one of the prefects said.

The prefects and Hermione all started to the Great Hall to find out where their dorms were.
