*Disclaimer* Same as last time and will be the same for the rest of the
chapters! None of it's mine ... J. K. Rowling's work!
A/n ~ this'll be a short chapter but I need to write it for obvious reasons down the road ... thanks for reading though!

*Chapter 3*
Draco held the door open for Hermione as the two students entered the office. Dumbledore was sitting in his chair reading an old book with his glasses carefully placed upon the tip of his nose. He looked up as he heard the door squeak and footstep enter.
"Well, I was about to think you two were coming! I'm so glad you made it!" he said. After a slight pause he continued, "This meeting will not be like most of the other meetings I have held with the Head Boys and Girls that came before you. No, this year I propose to you an idea I have been pondering for many weeks. I was thinking about giving the Head Boy and Girl, that would be you two," He said this with a smile and a nod of the head, "their own common room with rooms that will be placed on either sides of the room. I haven't quite thought it out full enough to give you a detailed map, but this is a sketch of what it might look like," he handed them both a piece of old paper, "that is, if you agree."
Before Malfoy could protest, Hermione quickly said, "We would both enjoy it very much! We definitely agree! Isn't that right Malfoy?" Malfoy was too stunned to say much ... but he nodded.
Dumbledore was quite pleased with this, but he wanted to confirm that they truly wanted this, "Are you sure? I realize that you two have had ... a ... history that might make these living terms ... well ... difficult for you."
"I believe we are both mature enough to get along this year. This is our last year after all. Why not make the best of it? Right Malfoy?" She looked over to Malfoy who was slightly dropping his chin with every word she said. *How could she be so ... so ... perfect?* He quickly collected himself to maintain some dignity and said to the two, who were now staring at him with strange faces, "Yes, I believe we are both mature enough to make this work. When do we get to see it?" Dumbledore's eyes lit up when he heard him. He had planned for this to be his last year at Hogwarts and wanted to create something special for the future students of the marvelous school.
"I'm not sure ... sometime today I suppose. Why don't you two just come down after dinner and see me? I can assure you it will be done by then." Both of the students thanked the old man and left. As they left Dumbledore they both parted without saying a word.
