The Train and Other Nonsense

 Problem was, Hermione never saw Harry on the train, reason was that she had a Head Girl meeting to go over simple topics with the prefects and Head Boy which she had no idea who it was, and another reason for not seeing him was that he was just no where to be seen, plain and simple as that.

            She was sharing a compartment with Ron and Ginny and Neville who had developed a little crush on Ginny and only Hermione and Ron had noticed, Hermione made Neville and Ron turn around so she could put her robes on to go to the meeting, she had a few minutes to spare and decided to contemplate who the Head Boy was, Ron said it was Harry and Ginny agreed only because it was Harry and Neville only nodded his head because of Ginny, Hermione shook her head and let out an exaggerated sigh and said a see you later and headed out to the end of the train.

            On her way she passed a compartment where she heard giggles and grunts, she decided to ignore it the best she could and walked faster past it and got to the compartment for the meeting, little did she know that Harry was in the compartment with the girl she saw. She opened the compartment door and stepped inside, Professor McGonagall and the four prefects were there and someone facing the window, who was presumably the Head Boy was there too.

"Hello Ms. Granger, Now that you all are here I am to make the announcements, we have made a few changes since last year on the Head Boy and Girl's dormitories, as you two know, the last few years you had your own rooms at the top of your house common rooms, this year since we have more students then the year before, we have made a wing off of the east corridor made for the prefects and Head Boy and Girl, the prefects will stay in there common rooms made for them and the Head's will have there own common rooms and bathroom and two rooms." She finished with a much-needed breath and looked around and nodded to show she was done with one announcement.

"Now, I have to go do a check around the train, Head's please explain a few things to the prefects, I'll be back soon to make sure everything is in order and give you two your schedules for night rounds." Hermione looked up at the professor. "Night rounds? Head's never had to do that before Professor, do we do it every night?" she asked at the retreating back of the professor, she turned around "No, Ms. Granger you and Mr. Malfoy will only be doing it together once a week." It didn't register in Hermione's mind that she had said Malfoy's name, but when it did she looked up at the boy by the window with wide eyes and mumbled a few curses.

She told the prefects as much as she knew about being one and listed off the things you take points off of and things you shouldn't, like walking to slow and talking to fast, -like Snape- she thought to herself, she shot a death glare at Malfoy who was still looking out the window, completely ignoring them all. She was discouraged already with him, how was she going to work with him all year and share a common room with a bedroom 10 feet from each other, hopefully there rooms were filled with plastics instead of breakable things because it will be a huge blood fest it isn't.

            The compartment door slid open and the professor walked in holding a folder with the night round schedules in them, she handed them to Hermione "These are the dates you and Mr. Malfoy are to go around, the day will be different every week, the times are different too, you will walk together not separated and no funny business, I know how you two can get" She eyed them both, Hermione heard a snort from Malfoy she just stared at him with her eyes narrowed daring him to say something, he didn't.

When the meeting was over she left hurriedly so that Malfoy couldn't say anything to her, she didn't feel like getting all depressed right then, she passed the compartment with the giggles and grunts but all the was heard was muffled talk, and finally made it back to her compartment, she tore the door open and stormed in and sat down. "Gee Mia what's wrong?" Ron asked looking concerned at his fuming friend; She explained everything from beginning to end. Ron sat dumbstruck and Ginny was holding back a giggle and Neville was scared out of his wits. "Malfoy? Head Boy? I bet it was his father!" Ron said, "No he was always academically good" Ginny said, then leaned into whisper in Hermione's ear "And always good looking" Hermione rolled her eyes, she never knew what got Ginny to think a Malfoy was anywhere close to good looking, he looked like a beast to her.

"This is going to be a horrible year, what with potions and now Malfoy a Head Boy, how the bloody hell am I going to make it out alive!" Neville said looking up at the ceiling, "Neville, honestly it's not going to be that bad, I'll watch out for you" Ginny reassured him with an arm on is shoulder, he turned a deep shade of red that made is head look like a tomato. Hermione hoped Ginny was right, because she was thinking along the lines of what Neville had said –how will I survive? –
