Chapter Three
Hermione found herself shocked with the news of Draco's father, she lay awake that night thinking about it. 'Maybe Malfoy won't act like a prat so much anymore.' She tried to convince herself that it was Draco's father that had affected his personality so much, and now with him out of the picture she would get to see the real Draco Malfoy.
The next day Hermione and Draco had a Prefects meeting to attend, it was their first official act as Head Boy and Girl, Hermione found herself feeling quite nervous, her stomach was fluttering, and her hands were shaking. When the meeting came to order, Draco addressed the Prefects.
"Well, I think its time that we get this meeting started. There are a couple of things that need to be addressed but first we will start with reports from what is going on in each of the houses, Hufflepuff will start this evening." Draco said, taking his seat next to Hermione.
The houses took there turn in describing recent events in their common rooms; everything was documented by the Prefects, as it was their job to maintain order among their peers. After the sixth year Slytherin Prefect had finished describing a nasty encounter with a first year and an escaped flobberworm, Hermione stood to address the room.
"Ok, now we can get into the important topics, first off, Draco is going to hand everyone a piece of paper, on it is a list of important events that will be taking place during this school year, such as Quidditch games, the Yule Ball and things like that. Now last year after a Quidditch game fights and duel were breaking out between houses. This will not happen this year, it is your job as prefects to separate fighting students as quickly as possible, you have been given permission to use the disarming spell, but don't think for one second that you are allowed to get into a duel with the fighting students. Once the student has been disarmed, make a note of their name and their house and give their names to either me or Draco. We are also having a Yule Ball this year, and we would like each house to pick two themes and then we will vote, then the theme with the most vote is what will be used at the Yule Ball. I think that is everything, Draco do you have anything else to say?" Hermione said looking over at him.
Draco said nothing, but his cold gray stare said it all, he stood up and threw a pile of paper at Hermione, then stormed out of the room.
"What the hell was that all about?" Ron yelled, he went over to Hermione to pick up the paper that was now scattered all over the floor.
"I'm sorry about that." Hermione said to the group, her voice shaking a little, she handed each prefect the list of events and then stormed out of the room herself.
She practically ran to her common room, and when the door opened she saw Draco sitting quite comfortably on the couch. Her chocolate brown eyes locked on to his icy gray.
"What the hell do you think you are playing at Malfoy?" Hermione yelled.
"I don't know what you are talking about Granger?"
"Why did you throw that paper at me and storm off?"
"Because Granger, contrary to what you think, I am not your man servant."
"What do you mean Malfoy?"
"You just volunteered me to hand out those sheets, like you think I am your little slave or something."
"You are so petty Malfoy, we are supposed to be working as a team. I know you don't like me being Head Girl, but you better get used to it because I am not going anywhere, you can act as petty as you want but I am not going to move an inch. Now if you will excuse me I have homework to start." She walked up to her bedroom and slammed the door behind her."

Hermione did not wake until late the next day, as it was Friday and she had no classes on Friday. When she finally did make her way down to the common room, she prayed that Malfoy was not there.
The common room was completely empty, but his shoes were on the floor next to a pair of girls shoes that weren't Hermione's. 'Great,' Hermione thought, 'He's up there fooling around with Pansy'. She picked up 'Hogwarts a History' and began reading about previous Head Boys and Girls.
She had been reading for a while, when she heard footsteps coming from Draco's staircase. She rolled her eyes and kept reading. It wasn't until she saw a flash of brown hair in front of her that she started paying attention. 'Pansy is blonde, Draco is cheating on her' Hermione said to herself.
"Goodbye Hermione." the brunette said, she was a fifth year, but Hermione couldn't place what house she was in.
"Bye." Hermione said, she smiled to herself as Draco kissed the fifth year goodbye.
"What are you smiling at?" He asked.
"Oh nothing, I was just wondering if Pansy had any idea that you were cheating on her."
"I'm not cheating on her."
"Oh of course you aren't cheating on her, you were probably helping that girl with her charm homework." Hermione said sarcastically.
"Look Granger I don't have to justify everything that I do, but if you must know, Pansy and I have decided to take a break, so I am off sowing my wild oats while I have the chance. Anyway you are just jealous."
"Why would I be jealous of you?"
"Because, I can get anyone I want. While you can't even get the great Harry Potter to look at you."
"Harry and I are just friends Malfoy I have already told you that." She felt herself beginning to go red.
"Yes you are friends, but that doesn't hide the fact that you are madly in love with him."
"Get lost Malfoy, I know what you are trying to do, you are trying to get under my skin and it's not going to work. Now bugger off while I finish reading."
He turned and walked away, while Hermione pretended to read her book. Malfoy knew he had hit a nerve, but Hermione did not want to admit to herself or the world that she was in love with her best friend.
A/N: Sorry chapter three took so long and is shorter than the others, I have been so busy. Anyway chapter four should be here pretty soon. Thank you to my reviewers.
