CHAPTER 1
The room was dim. An eerie glow cascaded from a large black cauldron. Six hooded men stood around. Chanting. Chanting for the special occasion. After all, the coronation of a fresh young death eater was not something that was to be taken lightly.

Hermione stepped out of the car. It was surprisingly chilly even though Summer had just passed. She straightened up a bit. The Head Girl had to look good at all times and Hermione aimed to be the perfect role model. She told herself she wouldn't take any crap from no one. Not at all. 'I can handle anything you throw at me Malfoy.' Hermione walked onto the train with total confidence. 'I guess being Head Girl has its advantages.' She thought when she saw a group of first years looking quite tense when she strolled past. 'I'm not that intimidating am I?' Hermione walked straight into the Head Boy/Girl compartment. She was surprised to see a young man sitting there. He had short brown hair and amazing blue eyes. "Are you the Head Boy?" Hermione asked nervously. She had never seen him before. "No. Actually I'm teaching a class at Hogwarts and I couldn't find another carriage. Hope you don't mind." He had a definite irish accent. "Oh no, not at all." Hermione gave a warm smile. 'He looks very young for a teacher.' "Um, so what class are you teaching at Hogwarts?" "Well since Professor Vector retired last year I'll be teaching Arithmancy." "Really?? That's my favourite subject!" Hermione couldn't believe it. After three months of substitues they would finally be getting a proper teacher! "So how long are you staying at Hogwarts?" Hermione asked. "Oh only for this school year. Actually I'm a teacher in training." He laughed. "So I'll be starting to teach properly next year." "So you only graduated from wizard school last year?" Hermione wondered. "That would be right. I travelled for a long time while in school so I've been to many places." "Oh that would explain why you look so young." "Well thank you for the compliment." He smiled jovially. Hermione could feel herself blushing. 'Oh why did it have to be now?' "Its okay," he said "you don't have to feel embarrased." Hermione felt herself going redder. "So you're Head Girl?" Hermione nodded. "Congratulations." He held out his hand. "By the way, I'm Jonathan Mitchel, nice to meet you." "Thanks. I'm Hermione Granger." "Hermione. That's a very lovely name." "Oh. Thank you." She felt the colour rising to her cheeks again. 'I have got to control this blushing thing.' Hermione took a seat opposite Professor Mitchel. She felt very self concious. 'Its only 'cause he's young.' She thought. 'And cute. Definitely cute.'

Draco's arm was painful since that night. He never could imagine the agony that cattle went through when being branded. Now he knew exactly what it was like. He clutched his arm in a way so no one would know he had surrendered himself to the dark lord. After loading his luggage onto the Hogwarts express he wandered down the corridor in search of the Head Boy/Girl carriage. Not really caring about being Head Boy. It was expected of him. He found the carriage at the end of the train and he slid open the door to the compartment. "Oh. Its you." He said when he saw Hermione. "Looks like you finally got yourself a boyfriend." Hermione went scarlet. "Actually Malfoy, this is Jonathan Mitchel. He's a teacher at Hogwarts this year." "Then that would be Professor Mitchel to you." Hermione blushed. "Anyway, he's teaching at Hogwarts this year. He's taking Professor Vector's place." She spotted his badge. "Oh, I can see your father's bribed Dumbledore." "Oh that?" Draco said looking at his Head Boy badge, "That was entirely my doing. Father was very proud." "Professor Mitchel," Hermione said turning to Jonathan, "I'll be off to see my friends now. You'll be alright?" "Sure Hermione. I'll be fine." Hermione smiled at Jonathan and left. "She's a mudblood you know." Draco said minutes later. "Oh I know she's a muggle born." Jonathan said. "You weren't kissing were you?" Draco asked curiously. "No, not at all. But sounds to me that somebody's jealous." Jonathan looked at Draco. "Me? Get a life. I'd rather kiss a toad than that thing." "Suit yourself." And with that Jonathan walked away. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A/N : This is my first chapter. I will keep going if you like it so far but I'll only know if you review. Flames are added to my fireplace.
