A/N: sorry its so short and sorry for the late updating…I am not getting many reviews but I still want to keep the story going anyway….so…..

Hermione walked through the barrier between king's cross and platform nine and three quarters and immediately bumped into Ron.

"Move it you two would you?" she annoyingly spat at Ron and Harry.

Hermione then looked up from her hand that was pulling her things on the trolley and saw what ha made them stop, her chocolate brown eyes went wider than saucers. Draco Malfoy was standing there, and at that moment he was smirking at her.

"Come on guys, lets go get a compartment" she tried to avoid his eyes and looked directly at Harry and Ron as she walked by him, she still hadn't quite wrapped her head around why he had let her go so promptly at Diagon Alley.

"Where do you think you are going Granger?" he spat at her quickly, "You're a head right?" he said with a slight smirk, moving closer to her, "you get to ride with me today" he said like he had something up his sleeve, and walked towards the train. Hermione just gaped at him as he went.

"Malfoy is head boy!" she exclaimed with utter disappointment when she finally let the information set in. She then whipped her head around to Ron and Harry, "What was he doing standing there anyway?" she asked them. They looked at each other,

"We're not actually sure," Harry started, Ron just stood there with a , 'talk to her again and I will rip your face off!' towards Draco. " We just walked through and there he was, he didn't say anything until you showed up." Harry and Ron exchanged questioning looks,

"Malfoy is head boy!" they both exclaimed grimacing at the same time, like they were just realizing it. Ron took a step forward and looked at Hermione, a hand on her shoulder, "you think you can handle that git, cause if not I will lay him out" he commented, Hermione just rolled her shoulder and his hand fell free. For some reason Ron always felt he had to protect her.

"I can take care of myself Ron, thank you very much though" she smiled a half smile and looked towards the train, she wanted to get the topic off of Malfoy as soon as possible, "Shall we get a compartment then?" she asked looking over her shoulder at them and began to walk forward, the boys just shrugged, grabbed their things and followed.

They finally found an empty compartment and took their seats, a few minutes later Ginny showed up, "Hey, where did you sod off to?" Ron asked accusingly. She cocked her head to the side and looked Ron intensely,

"Well yes, you do kind of look like my mother" she stated teasing him and smiled at Hermione who was also laughing. "Honesty Ron, must you need to know everything I do all the time, I am not a kid anymore you know" she told him placing her bag above their heads and sitting across from Harry and Ron next to Hermione.

"I have very right to know what you are doing an when, I am your brother and you are my younger sister, I have every bloody right!" Ron was practically yelling at her. He sat back on the seat and folded his arms across his chest and just looked at her. Ginny scoffed and turned to Hermione. Ginny smiled and mouthed, 'I will tell you later' and smiled. Hermione just rolled her eyes smiling and looked away from Ginny. A second later the train began and Hermione immediately realized that she was supposed to be meeting Professor McGonagall in the Heads Compartment along with the rest of the prefects and the head boy. 'Malfoy' she thought worryingly, when she first discovered it, she wasn't shocked because it hadn't actually sunk in yet, but now, she was almost horrified at what it was going to be like living with Draco Malfoy. She stood up trying not to dwell on it.

Well guys, I have to go to the heads compartment so I will see you later" she waved as she opened the door, and disappeared behind it before anyone could say anything about the fact of who the head boy was. When she turned around she almost screamed. She had run into something, no, someone and she was practically feeling up their chest. She shockingly pulled her hands away and began to look up, but she did not need to look up to deceiver who it was, he spoke a second later,

"Now Granger, if you wanted to feel my chest all you had to do was ask" he teased, looking down at her, her head finally tilted upwards and their eyes met. 'SHIT' she screamed in her head, on her mouth a scowl formed,

"Get off me Malfoy!" she spat, he eyes her confusingly,

"You bumped into me, how could I be on you?" he asked accusingly

"Whatever, just get away from me" she demanded as she tried to push him away, but he stood strong

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Granger, " he started shaking his index finger at her, he then looked in her eyes and brought his pointer finger and middle finger to his mouth in a smoking gesture, "and remember we are going to be living in tight quarters, so you will want to be nice to me" he smirked that Malfoy smirk that she hated so much, she just gritted her teeth, she had to admit, she was between a rock and hard place, almost literally. She moved to the right then shuffled to the left but he just kept as close as he ever was to her. Draco let a slight smile cross his lips, he was enjoying this very much. He had discovered a way to be near her, an advantage for him, without letting on that he actually started seeing her more than just a mud-blood, and he also liked how cute she looked when she was aggravated.

"Move, we have a meeting to get to don't we?' she asked lips pursed. He smiled at this, simply nodded and stepped aside motioning for her to continue down the train first. She was still in her muggle clothes and was wearing a pair of hip hugger jeans and a t-shirt that fell just above her jeans. Draco stood behind for a second and cocked his head to the right as she walked forward, 'nice arse' he thought before he continued after her.

The meeting went as expected, they were assigned their duties, they met the new prefects and her and Draco introduced themselves, and her and Draco worked out a patrolling schedule after everyone else left. They had decided that they would rotate the days during the week, Draco taking three and Hermione taking two, then on the weekend they would share the responsibility and patrol the halls together. Actually the together patrolling was McGonagall's idea, but Hermione agreed against her better judgment. McGonagall left and it was just the two of them,

"Well that seems about right," she commented looking over the schedule once more. She then took out her wand and duplicated it twice. One would go to McGonagall and then one for each of them. Hermione turned towards Draco to hand him is copy and her hand smacked him right in the head,

"Damn Granger!" he exclaimed bringing his hand up to rub the spot where she hit, "hatch it will you!" he continued to rub.

"Sorry" she said not completely meaning it, but not completely un-sincere either as she hit his stomach with the paper still in her hand, he half doubled over. At this she stood and left the compartment, with Draco standing and looking out the compartment window still staring at her arse, "I must have a piece of that" he whispered to himself as he picked up his papers and walked out of the compartment himself.
