Waking up early, Hermione jumped out of bed and packed the rest of her needed belongings in her trunk. Hermione looked at her clock, which read six fifty-nine A.M. 'Three more hours until we leave,' she thought to herself. Today was the beginning of her seventh and final year at Hogwarts. Hermione was very ecstatic because she was named Head Girl. "I wonder who is Head Boy, Crookshanks," she whispered to her cat. "I hope it isn't Malfoy. I would rather kill myself than sleep in a room next to him."

Meanwhile, many miles away, Draco Malfoy was just waking up. He lifted his black satin sheets and crawled out of bed, making sure to put on his black slippers. He put his finished homework into his bag, and stuffed his bag into his trunk, along with his Head Boy badge. "The last thing on earth I want to do is to work with Mudblood Granger. I hope she wasn't made Head Girl." He snarled at his old brown teddy bear. Draco walked out of his room and headed downstairs to make himself some breakfast.

Hermione made sure she had everything (Homework, robes, winter cloak, brush, etc). "Crookshanks, are you sure you want to go? You don't have to if you don't want to. Hermione was trying to persuade him not to go because he was turning twelve in a couple of weeks. That is rather old for a cat. Crookshanks sat there and just purred at her. Hermione picked him up and carried him into the kitchen. "Good morning, Mum!" Hermione kissed her mother on the cheek and sat down at the table. "What would you like for breakfast, dear?" her mother asked. "Eggs and toast will be fine."

Draco stumbled lazily down the stairs while tripping on his pajamas, and walked into the kitchen to find that no one was home. 'Surprise surprise, Draco. Mum or Dad aren't here to take me to Kings Cross. Oh well, I guess I have to use Floo again.' Draco thought. His parents haven't been there each year to take him to the train station in London. He made himself some bacon, eggs, and toast for breakfast. He sat there staring at the wall while eating his breakfast quickly. After finishing his breakfast, he went up to get dressed and to gather his belongings. He checked his trunk in the manor that Hermione did, and then went downstairs to make sure they had Floo Powder. He checked the little pot next to the fireplace and found just a handful of powder left. He dragged his trunk into the pit and crawled in behind it, and shouted "Kings Cross Station!"

Hermione and her parents were loading her things into the trunk of the family care. After a few minutes of trying to make everything fit, they finally left. Hermione looked at the small clock on the dashboard of the care. The time was nine thirty. "Come on! We are going to miss the train!" Hermione was getting worried. They lived about two hours away from London, and then the traffic was going to be just horrible once they got there. "Don't worry. We will be there in due time!" He father said, trying to coax her so she wouldn't worry. "Ok, what ever you say, Father." Hermione had Crookshanks curled up in her lap. "Wow, I can't believe you will be turning twelve this year."

Draco landed smoothly in a vacant office at the station. He got up, brushed off his pants, and dragged his trunk out into the hallway. Draco walked right onto platform 9 ¾. 'That must have not really been there.. Wow, I am confusing myself right now.' Draco was thinking about that office. It was in the spot where he usually walked through when he was in the main part of the station. "Now to find Head Girl/Boy compartment." Draco never usually talked to himself like that; he was just so confused right now. He walked towards the front of the train and asked the conductor, "Excuse me, sir, do you think you can tell me how to find my way to the Head Boy and Girl compartment?" The conductor looked him up and down and smiled. "Certainly, Mr. Malfoy. Follow me." The conductor led him to the front of the train and poked his head into one of first few compartments. "This is where you and Miss Granger will be staying on the way to Hogwarts." Draco caught his breath and coughed. "Who did you say is the Head Girl?" Draco was hoping he didn't hear Hermione's name. "Oh, I said Miss Hermione Granger. Is there a problem?"

"No, sir. I just didn't hear you."

"Very well then. You are two hours early, how come?"

"Never mind. Good day!" Draco walked into the compartment and watched as the conductor walked off. "God damn it! How come it had to be her?!" Draco couldn't believe that he had to spend the whole term with her.

~*Hermione's Life*~

A long two hours passed with no traffic. It was ten thirty. "Mom, dad, turn here."

"Yes, dear. We know how to drive." Her mother said. "Sorry, just a bit excited." Hermione smiled widely and leaned back against the seat. As they turned into the parking space, Hermione unbuckled her seat belt. "I'll go get the trolley. Honey, help her get her trunk out." Mr. Granger left the car for a few minutes, only to return with a banged up cart. "Sorry, this was the last one." He shrugged and lifted Hermione's trunk onto the cart. Hermione put Crookshanks into his wicker basket, loaded him onto the trolley, and started off for the building. "Are you guys going to come with me?" Hermione asked when she saw her parents just standing there. "I'm sorry, honey. We have several appointments today we have to attend. I'm so sorry." Her mother was saying it in the most apologetic voice she could make. "Ok, I guess I will see you guys in June, then. I love you so very much!" Hermione ran into the station, pushing her trolley as fast as she could. Ten forty-five. Hermione ran for the pillar at platform nine and ten. She ran through the brick wall and stopped the conductor. "Excuse me, where is the-"

"Fifth compartment from the engine." The conductor cut her short because it was ten fifty five."

"Oh shit." She whispered when she looked at her minute watch. She ran for the front of the train, pushing random students about trying to get to the compartment. When she reached the fifth one, she sighed (ten fifty eight) a sigh of relief, and climbed aboard. When she got inside, she stopped dead in her tracks. "You!? What are you doing here?" Hermione couldn't believe that he was made Head Boy. "Same thing as you are, hun." Draco sneered at her. "I didn't expect you to be here." Hermione was growing red with anger. "Nor did I. And don't call me 'hun'." "Ok. First, if you are going to act like that, Hermione, sit on the couch opposite of me. And two, don't act stuck up."

"I am not stuck up. You are the one who is always acting smug.
