A/N-Okay. Normally I don't update till I get five or so reviews but I got a good idea for this story. Sorry the last chapter was so short. It looks a lot longer on paper.

Thanks to my reviewers! 3 (a flower of thanks!!)

Disclaimer- own nothing, never will.


'It can't be that hard, can it?'
Chapter 2


"Well, well, well. Mighty Stupid Potty Grangers, and how was your summer?" Draco sneered.

"Bug Off Malfoy." Harry said, cooly.

"Well, hello to you, too, then." Draco replied with fake sympothy.

Hermione looked up from her book when Ginny jabbed her in the side.

"What?" she wispered

"It's Draco, see, I told you he changed. His looks at least."

Hermione looked up to Draco. He sure did change. He was taller and he definatly has his muscles now. It was obvious he thought he could fend for himself because Crabbe and Goyle weren't hanging by his side.

Hermione didn't think that was such a good idea, leaving them behind. Because even if he was taller, Harry and Ron had both grown over the summer. They were at least an inch taller than Draco, each.

Draco brushed some loose silvery blonde hair out of his steeley grey eyes. They didn't change. Draco's eyes still gave Hermione the creeps when she looked at them.

She had to admit, though. Draco sure looked good. Then she noticed it. Draco also had a prefects badge.

It seemed like Draco had read her mind.

"i hope you don't think that just because we are both prefects that we will become friends. I plan to spend the least time I can with you." He said, his voice like ice. Or fire. She couldn't decide.

'Darn,' Hermione remembered then. Dumbledore had changed everything about the prefects. There was one prefect from each house. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw's Prefects did everything they had to do together. And the same with Slytherin and Gryffindor. They even had their own rooms, like the Head Boy and Girl did.

"Malfoy, if you have no business here, which you don't, I suggest you go and leave us alone." Ron said, meanly stating his point.

Draco just shrugged and blew a bubble with his gum. It snapped loudly and Ginny jumped.

"Aww, did I scare you, Weasel? I'm not sorry."

"Where are Crabbe and Goyle?" Hermione asked.

"Oh, I don't know. Probably in the kitchen pigging out."

"Then why don't you go? You could use some more meat on your bones." Ron said, happy with the comeback.

"Why? Are you jealous that I look good and you are a fat blob of useless nothing?"

Ron reached for his wand but Harry stopped him. They couldn't afford to get in trouble yet. Just then Cho ran up to Draco and looped her arm around his.

"There you are! We've been looking for you. The party's about to start and we can't have a party with out you!"
she siad happily.

Draco sneered at Harry, knowing he had had a crush on Cho for a while now, and took off with her.

Harry slammed the door shut and settled back into his seat.

"i can't stand him."

"Yeah, well, at least you don't have to do just about everything with him!" Hermione said, leaning back into the seat. She had a feeling this would be a long year.
