Unexpected Feelings

Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy were two very different people. Hermione was always the smart one, and in her seventh year, had gotten very beautiful. She had filled out in all of the places any girl would, straightened her hair, and had the prettiest smile this side of Hogwarts.
Draco Malfoy, however, had always been the most sought after boy at Hogwarts for obvious reasons. This year, in particular, would be his best. The previous summer had been quite kind to him. He had gotten a tan(FYI: He went on vacation to the beach.[imagine that hottie on the beach!! *whistles!*] ) , and he had even obtained a six-pack,( now who could argue with that?!) which he was very proud of.
Draco's life had always been under the control of his father. How he hated that man..... he had no other choice but to obey. He was to be a death eater after graduation, though he wasn't sure that he really wanted to be one.......Deep down, he wasn't evil.....Right? Obey or not, he had to suffer the consequences.
Hermione on the other hand had always been smart, reliable, witty, care-free, and to Draco, even pretty.......though he didn't admit it. She was so good, but he was so evil.....
.......or so he thought.............

Hermione Granger, now 17 years old, woke up one morning to a letter falling on her head. It was her letter from Hogwarts........2 weeks early??

' I wonder why they sent the letter this early?' she thought as she opened the envelope. Then her heart stopped. She quickly took the letter out of the envelope and read:

Dear Miss Granger,
Congradulations! You will be attending Hogwarts this year as the Head Girl. I only hope that this information will make your last year at Hogwarts more enjoyable. You will, of course, be sharing a dormitory with the head boy. You will be informed of who he is at the opening feast. I would also like to point out that you are STILL a prefect this year as well. Also enclosed in this letter is your Hogwarts supply list, so enjoy the rest of your summer, and see you at Hogwarts!

'Oh my God!! Just wait until mum and dad hear about this!!!' she thought excitedly. She instantly ran down the stairs to the kitchen, and told her parents the good news.

Draco Malfoy was having the usual summer-lying on the beach lounging......working out.....walking around with his bodyguards Crabbe and Goyle,etc.....-when he was finally home for a change. An owl came swooping in through his humongous bedroom window, and dropped the letter on his head rather hard.

"OW!!"

' Damn bird.....' he thought as he grabbed the letter. His letter was very similar to Hermione's letter.

' Big surprise there!' he chuckled to himself.

He soon left his bedroom to show his mother the letter. His mother was the only one that he really cared about.

"Congradulations sweetie!" she cooed as she hugged him tightly.

" Thanks Mum....." he replied, turning slightly pink. It was kind of embarrassing for Draco Malfoy, Slytherin King, to be called 'sweetie' by his mother. But at least no one was watching.

" I'll go and tell your father immediately!" she said as she pecked him on the cheek, and then she was gone.

"I wonder who the head girl is......." he thought out loud. But he already had a pretty good idea of who it was.

'Maybe this'll be a good year after all.........'
