Chapter 4 : Head Boy and Girl Hit it Off

"ATTENTION! Welcome, welcome everyone! As you know the rules are the same as last year's and the year before and so on. No one, absolutely NO ONE is to go into the Forbidden Forest, students must be in their common rooms by 11 'o' clock unless special orders from a teacher or myself. Now, I'd like to introduce this year's Head Girl and Head Boy. May I introduce to you Miss. Hermione Granger and Mister Draco Malfoy! If you have any other questions, please ask your house prefects. Now, let the feast begin." All of a sudden food was on the tables and kids were grabbing everything in sight.

"Granger! Granger!" "Oh, hey Draco." Hermione wasn't completely in the mood for talking she just wanted to get to her room. "Well, I just talked to Dumbledore and our common room password is Love, your password to your room is Heart. Funny don't you think with the whole theme and everything. It seems as if . no never mind." Draco trailed off. "As if what Draco?" "Oh, nothing. It was stupid. Well, we should probably get to our meeting!" Draco turned and started walking. Hermione quickly caught up to him. They walked next to each other for a while in silence.

"Hello Miss Granger!" came a booming voice from the corner of the hall. Hermione jumped at the voice and held on to Draco. Just then Nearly - Headless - Nick glided past, laughing. Hermione had to laugh. She felt like such a fool, but she liked being in Draco's arms. She felt so - so - good. Draco turned her around and pushed her against the wall. "Draco, what are you doing?" Hermione stuttered, feeling all fuzzy inside, but she liked it. She liked being with him, somehow she did. "Finishing what we started on the train." He grinned at her and kissed her. She kissed him back and wrapped her arms around him.

They both walked to Dumbledore's office. The meeting was just about to begin. "Hello Mister Malfoy, Miss Granger. Now, your duties for this year are to plan all special events, keep all of the prefects in order, if anything important should happen within the students, you are pretty much in charge. Your first task is to come up with an event for Halloween, anything you like. I expect results within two weeks. Please discuss this with the prefects. That's all!" They both were dismissed and turned to leave. As soon as they were out of the door, they both said " A Ball!" at the same time. They laughed. "We could have all kinds of decorations like pumpkins, black cats, black hats, and of course - costumes!" Hermione yelled with a big grin on her face. "Sounds perfect - just like you." Draco whispered. Hermione pulled him close and kissed him once again. They walked to their common room, kissing, and when they got there they only stopped to say "Love" but when they got inside, they stopped and looked around in shock. Their common room was bigger than their house common room. It had red and gold banners, a red and gold couch with pillows, and a love seat. It had the same stuff in green and gold also. They had a fireplace with the Hogwarts symbol above it. Hermione let out a gasp of happiness. She couldn't believe how great it was. She quickly ran over to the door that had "Hermione Granger" engraved on it. She said her password "Heart" and the door opened. She had a king sized bed that was red and gold. She had a mirror that talked to her, and the best part was, there was another door that led to a library, but not just any library, it was her library and it was bigger than the one at Tahlin Manor. She ran over to Draco. His room was the same with the exception of the colors. They both also had stereo systems, huge dressers, a big desk, and huge walk in closets. "This. Place. Rocks!" Hermione yelled. Draco just stood there with a stupid grin on his face. They went and sat down in their common room, together, on one couch, snuggled. Hermione enjoyed the feeling of being so close to Draco. Something about him made her feel good. She knew she really liked him, she just didn't know how much, at least not yet.
