"A Head Start"
A Fic by NiKiTa-G and ducky-doll
Note: This is actually a bit of a joke between us two authors. Basically what we're doing with this story is writing a chapter individually, posting it up, then the other person writes the next chapter and so on. It's a bit of a blind story and neither of us know what each other is going to write so it's a lot of fun on our part. Hopefully by the end though, we will have produced a good quality fic. Nikita (NiKiTa-G) and Sam (ducky-doll) are actually really good friends in real life and we made this idea up while having a sleepover, LoL (Yes we DO like sleepovers!) Anyway, hope you enjoy reading our… err… creation!
Prologue:
The Great Hall was buzzing with excitement. The Head Boy and Head Girl of the year was about to be announced. The top favourites were Hermione Granger and Harry Potter. Those two were sitting on the Gryffindor table nervously, waiting anxiously for the announcement to be made. Harry didn't want to admit it but he was hoping very much that he would get it and knew he had a very big chance.
Hermione on the other hand was sweating. She had spent the last few weeks looking back over her year's records making sure that her marks were up to standard and that she had participated in enough events, helped enough charities and generally been the perfect student she was.
Dumbledore rose from the teacher's table and everybody hushed. He cleared his throat. "I don't want to keep you all in suspense so I will say this quickly before you all throw food at me! This year's Head Girl is… Hermione Granger!"
There was a roar of excitement from the Gryffindor table and half hearted applause from the other tables. Hermione jumped up and hugged everyone around her before running excitedly to the front where she over shook Dumbledore's hand, practically ripping his arm out of it's socket.
After she'd calmed down a bit Dumbledore continued. "It gives me great pleasure to announce that the Head Boy for this year is… Draco Malfoy!"
Harry's jaw dropped. Draco? Draco Malfoy? Everybody stared at each other in disbelief as Draco smugly stood up and directed a smirk in Harry's direction before walking proudly to the front of the room and shaking Dumbledore's hand.
