What the hell was I thinking?? Hermione flung herself at the nearest library table, earning a glare from Madam Pince as her flopping arm made a loud 'smack!' on the surface. Did I actually agree to three favors for a Malfoy?? Argh, why am I stupid?
If only she hadn't gotten flustered at Malfoy's sudden burst of anger over her comments. If only she hadn't been intimidated by his flirtatious innuendo. If only…
Suddenly, her mouth set in a determined line. She might have gotten herself into a potentially dangerous situation, but, by Gryffindor, she wasn't going to let a sniveling little ferret like Draco Malfoy pressure her into anything. Harmless little favors were all she owed him… Tutoring in Transfiguration and other such things. If he was going to be stupid enough to think she'd do something… lewd or otherwise unscrupulous just to maintain some outward semblance of peace between the Head Boy and Head Girl, he was going to be mightily disappointed.
Hermione was so caught up in her thoughts over her "Malfoy Mess" that she nearly missed Harry calling her name.
"Hermione, McGonagall sent me to get you. You're supposed to attend a staff meeting after the Feast."
After receiving a blank look, he continued, "Hermione, are you okay? What happened between you and Malfoy at dinner? Did he do something to you, 'cause I swear if he did…"
"No, no, Harry, I'm fine. I just had to talk to him about something, and he left before I could bring it up. I just didn't think at the time to put it off until later. Is the Feast almost over?"
Harry narrowed his eyes a little, sensing a brush-off on the Malfoy issue, but didn't push it any further. "Yeah, they're just finishing up. McGonagall said to meet her in her classroom when you're able."
"Thanks Harry. I'll stop by the common room before I go back to my dorm."
A few minutes later, she arrived outside the Transfiguration classroom. She was about to enter when she heard Malfoy's voice coming from within.
"So, Professor, are we going to be able to create passwords to common rooms and deduct points from the Houses on nightly patrols?"
"All will be explained in good time, Mr. Malfoy," came McGonagall's crisp reply. Hermione chose that moment to enter, gave a brief nod toward Malfoy and the other professors, and greeted her favorite teacher.
"Hello, Professor McGonagall. I hope I haven't kept you waiting?"
"No, Miss Granger, you're right on time. We'll begin our meeting as soon as the Headmaster arrives."
Five minutes later, Albus Dumbledore entered. "Shall we begin?"
Author's Notes: Yay, first term meeting is about to begin! What privileges will the Head Boy and Head Girl receive? Stay tuned for the next chapter. Me love review!
