Chapter 1

Where Our Story Starts

"Damn time her finished," muttered Harry under his breath as he flopped himself down onto a black leather armchair in the Slytherin common room.

"Dumbledore always says the same things every year, you'd think by now he'd figure we get the point."Draco Malfoy nodded his head in agreement as he too settled comfortably on the couch opposite Harry.

"Your father was right Draco," Pansy Parkinson gushed, flirtatiously batting her eyelashes at him the whole time. "Dumbledore is the worst thing that ever happened to to Hogwarts." Everyone knew that Pansy would give anything to be with Draco, but, rolling his eyes, he pushed her off his lap and roughtly onto the floor. Hurt, she stomped off crying through the portrait hole.

"Probably looking for some other guy to seduce," Crabbe added sarcastically from the other side of the room."

"Give it a rest, Crabbe," Goyle piped up.

"Shut the hell up you idiots, you're getting on my fucken nerves." Harry couldn't understand why he had had to room with these too idiots for the past six years,(A/N they're in 7th year.) he couldn't believe they never failed once.

"Shh, I'm trying to figure out a way to pick up some babes this year........." Draco put his head in his hands thoughtfully.

"You couldn't get a chick if your life depended on it," Harry retorted.

Draco put his head in his hands thoughtfully. "I suppose.........."

Harry snorted."You Idiot, you don't even realize you are putting your self down, do you?"

"You were insulting me?"

Frustrated with his roommate, Harry stood up. "Asshole," he muttered, and moved over to the other side of the room toward the portrait hole.

Blaise Zabini popped her head in through the portrait hole as Harry meant to climb out.

"Harry! Just the person I wanted to see. Congratulations on being made Head Boy. Too bad you have to share a common room with that nerd, Hermione Granger. She'll probably just want to help you with your homework"

"Yeah I know....Our rooms are supposed to connect too...which means I'll have to see even more of her. Anyways, thats where I was planning on going, gotta go unpack my stuff."Harry finished talking and left through the portrait without as much as a goodbye." Bitch," he muttered as he began walking down the hall to the entrance to the Head Boy and Girl Rooms.

Yawning, Harry muttered the password at the portrait of a bowl of fruit and climbed through, only to be greeted by a smiling Hermione Granger, curled up on a sifa with a good book.

Muttering a soft hello, she turned her head back to the book she was reading, leaving Harry to explore his room.
