Chapter III

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ~-~-~

So all things between the golden trio were okay, for now that is.

(a/n remember all in hermione's pov)

I walk into the Great Hall and I am hit with nostalgia. I wish things would just go back to the way they use to be. I let out a sigh and walk to the Gyffindor table. As I walk I feel a pair of eyes upon me but I ignore it.

The sorting goes relatively fast and soon before Head Boy and Girl are announced there is also a new sorting for a new 7th year. (A/n ehhh did I forget to mention that they are in the 7th year if you haven't noticed yet) As soon as Professor Dumbledore was finished announcing an additional sorting a raven-haired girl with eyes almost black came out.

Professor McGonagall called out, "Alina Vespira" as many of the males stared at her with wide eyes.

I gasped as I heard that familiar name. Then it hits me! It's one of my best friends who moved away to America seven years ago just before I started Hogwarts. I didn't know she was a witch!

As all these memories flash back I heard the sorting hat shout out the name.

Slytherin.

I clapped with the rest of the applause mostly coming mostly from the slytherin males. I hope she didn't change much through those seven years. Yes we did write but it doesn't always express the way the person is still.

Dumbledore held his hands up for silence and began to speak.

"Yes, congratulations to Miss Vespira joining the Slytherin house. And now I will no longer delay the announcement for this year's Head Boy and Girl along with this year's prefects."

Damn old man keeping us all in suspension!

"This year Head Girl is Hermione Granger of Gryffindor!" and as the applause dies down along with Harry and Ron's yell of happiness, "And Head Boy is Draco Malfoy of Slytherin!" Now all you can hear is the applause from Slytherin along with long groans from Gryffindor. "Please come up get your badges and await here to wait for your fellow prefects"

I slowly get up and pin my badge to my robes as does Malfoy. We stand to one side of Dumbledore as he continues.

"Yes now continuing on. This year prefects for Ravenclaw are Padma Patil, and Roger Beacan. Prefects for Hufflepuff are Justin Finch-Fletchy and Addie Auvita. For Gryffindor the prefects are Seamus Finnigan and Virginia Weasley and finally for Slytherin are Alina Vespira and Damien Valera. Please come up and receive your badges"

(A/n the first name is 7th year and the second name is a 6th year. And it alternates as boy girl if you haven't noticed.)

Slowly the crowd begins to come up and receive their badges Dumbledore states, "Welcome to see our new Heads team." Once the applause dies down the recipients walk back to their respected table.

Dumbledore finishes the last of his announcements and the food appears upon the golden plates.

(A/n deepest apologies if this is boring so far. Until I get the flow of writing again I'm afraid this might be extremely boring. Don't kill me)

After the dinner or in Ron's case five dinners the Perfects and Heads went up to Professor Dumbledore as the older ones lead their houses to their common rooms.

After tripping over many trick steps they finally reach a painting of a boy and girl staring up into the stars.

"Luka, Nadie I have the new the new family for this year. And they will all introduce themselves in turn. You may change the password once a month and the password for this month is happy family."

Professor Dumbledore leads us into the common room. And explains we will have to work together as a "family" and bring school unity together.

Our common room is gorgeous as always. It is twice the size of a normal common room considering the amount of people. And just imagine okay. Chairs and sofas everywhere with tables in between every few sofas. It was comfy and looked like home.

(A/N Sorry you must use your imagination because I don't want to sound like everyone else's common room)

There were portraits to each house and access to the kitchen for food supplies when I know we are going to pull all niters. It's not like I don't already.

There are three staircases. One for the 6th year prefects, one for 7th year prefects and one for the heads. Bathroom included.

Once Dumbledore left we all got settled.

As soon as the headmaster did leave I was soon drug over to a green couch and bombarded with questions.

"Nia! Why didn't you ever tell me you were a witch!"

"Lina, I didn't know and how come you never told me you were a witch!"

"Meh, typically thing. I didn't know it was a big difference. I was young and I thought everyone has the magically thing going on."

"Ya right. How come you never mailed me sooner?"

"Busy with all this wonderful life we all have" Alina says dripping with sarcasm.

"Ya some wonderful life huh?"

"So how was your summer this year Ms. Head Girl"

An awkward silence filled in between my childhood companion and me.

"Er. I'll tell you about it later."

"Alright I guess.. "

"Well I must get to some business before we all head to bed"

I walked away from the couch I was sitting at with Alina and shouted. "Can I have everyone's attention please!"

No one looked at me except for Big Head Boy Malfoy, Alina and Ginny. God this is getting on my nerves..

I yell "ALRIGHT EVERYONE GET YOUR ASSES DOWN HERE NOW!" as feet shuffle down from all directions I finally get everyone's attention.

"Good. Now that I have all of your attentions I'm gonna lay this down straight now. I'm not gonna take any of your crap of disrespect. When Malfoy or me ever call your attention you get your asses down to us quick. I will not tolerate any of this bull crap from you. Dumbledore wants us to be a god damn family and we will act like a god damn family got it!" It was more of a command rather than a question.

My outburst scared the hell out of everyone especially Ginny and Alina. Since the beginning of the time people knew me I was never the one to shout and get angry easily. But that has changed now hasn't it. Malfoy has felt my wrath when I slapped him years ago but this was more serious.

"Er. the reason why I asked you all hear was all the prefects are going to drag names out of a hat to pair up for night time patrols and when we have to work for social plans and such. You complain you will suffer the wrath of me or Malfoy. COMPRENDE?"

I hear a mumble of yeses.

I draw the names since Malfoy and I have to work together obviously.

"Addie Auvita and. Seamus Finnigan"

"Ginny Weasley and. Damien Valera"

"Justin Finch-Fletchy and. Roger Beacan"

"And finally Alina Vespira and Padma Patil"

"Remember our warning and we'll post a schedule for patrols in the kitchen either tomorrow or the day after so get out of my face now!" I snap

With a lot of scurries to get away from me the crowd dissipates, including Malfoy.

"Malfoy get your sorry arse back here and help me make the damn schedule!"

"Alright alright. " he grunts.

I let out a sigh as we begin to work.

"What was with your little stunt on the train Granger?"

"What business is it of yours of what I do?"

"Nothing it was just an unGranger type thing that you would never do."

"What do you know about what I do and do not know. You don't know me and you never will so don't label me!"

"Damn. touchy little one aren't you? Are you PMSing or something like that?"

"Just shut up before I slap you!"

"Oh ya. Well I bet you don't have enough guts to do it"

"Oh you think so, huh?"

"Ya I do. You are as wimpy as Potter and a little dement.."

SMACK

"Don't you ever insult me or my friends again you arrogant jerk."

I storm up the stairs forgetting everything else and charm my room to blast my music.

'He'll never know anything about me or understand. I was so foolish to get so attached. And look where it has gotten me. There are some things I can't even tell Alina."

I sigh and let myself drown in my music.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =-=-

The next day I woke up early so I don't have to fight for the lavatory with Malfoy. When I came out dressed and headed towards my room I see a spot of silvery blond hair peek out of his bedroom.

'Ha spooked the ferret did I? How interesting.'

I perform my daily morning tasks and head out the portrait room going to the Great Hall this morning. I walk in and see there is a table for the Head 'family' so I head over grabbing a seat next to Alina and two seats across from Ginny. As I sit I spot Malfoy sneaking in sporting a nice bruise on his cheek. Serves him right.

"What happened to Malfoy there?" Ginny asks while she eats her waffles.

"Oh nothing." is my response

"Nothing my ass Nia I heard Draco and You arguing last night" Alina pops in.

"Oh well can't change the past" is my only reply

I begin to think should I apologize for my sudden act of violence when I'm taken back by the shrieks of Pansy The Pug-Faced Slut.

"Omg! Drakie-Poo! What happened to you baby?" Pansy wails

I hear Malfoy mumble something and walks over to the family table. I'm glad Pansy stopped her ever annoying wailing because I was beginning to get a headache.

"Will that girl ever shut up?" I mumble.

"No never. So don't even try"

I look up to see Malfoy sitting in front of me.

"Oi. er..hello Malfoy."

"Granger" he says with a nod.

We begin to eat our breakfast receiving out timetables. As I glance at my schedule I hear someone whisper a hush 'Granger' and see Malfoy slide a piece of parchment across the table. I look at him but all I get is a look from me to the piece of paper so I slide it into my pocket and continue to look at my timetable.

Later as I head out of the Great Hall to Arthimacy (a/n - sp?) I grabbed the note from my pocket and began to read it.

' Granger-

Meet me in the library after lunch. We're going to talk and you better go or else you'll me sorry.

-Malfoy'

'Ha! Me be sorry? Ya right like that will happen!' I think as I head off to Arthimacy.

The morning flew by and before I knew it it was lunch. And I sudden dread wretched in my stomach.

'The meeting'

"You guys I'm going to leave now." I begin

"Aw Mione where you going so early? Lunch just started!" Ron groans out

"Why do you care?" I say emotionless

"What do you mean why do we care Mione? We're your best friends and we miss hanging out with you. It's like we don't know you anymore!" Harry states worriedly

'God I can't believe I defended him against Malfoy last night'

"Well maybe you guys never knew me in the first place." and with that I left the Great Hall as my 'friends' mouths dropped.

I round the corner towards the library regretting my actions. I swore to myself in the beginning of the year I would not let my emotions effect my actions.

'But that has obviously failed.'

I sigh as I head into the library finding that Malfoy was already there and waiting.

I hope this chapter is longer and sorry if it's overtly boring. I haven't gotten into the whole thing of action yet in my little mind. Oh well.

For those of you who have read OotP I will say that this can be an a/u but I don't know.

Review please. I don't care anymore of what kind. I'm having fun thinking of ideas I could do with this story.
