Chapter 2~
Hermione followed the professor up to her office and she was surprised to see Professor Snape and Draco standing besides him. Professor Snape hadn't changed a bit, he was wearing the same black clothes and his hair was still long and
greasy looking. she was surprised that he didn't go back to
Voldemort when he was back in power just a couple years back. Lucious, however went back to Voldemort, but his wife stayed behind and his wife and draco went into hiding until voldemort was killed by Harry...
"Ms. Granger would you please take a seat? you also Mr. Malfoy." Said Professor Mcgonagall. she and Professor Snape walked to the other side of the table and looked down at the two students.
"I'm very disappointed at you two. the type of behavior you have displayed in front of the younger Hogwart's students, you are Head boy and girl and you two are supposed to be admirable examples for this school." scolded Professor Mcgonagall.
"I'm sorry Professor, but i can not apologize for my actions." both Professor Snape and Mcgonagall were caught off guard and gave each other looks of confusion.
"and why not?" asked Professor snape.
"Draco is the one who started it. he was the one who used the stripping spell on me and... everyone in the train was a witness in the event." replied granger.
"but that is no excuse. you could have taken the high road and reported it to me Ms. granger." Said Professor Mcgonagall.
"Will you expel me then?" asked Hernione nervously. Professor Mcgonagall looked at her and she said, "No, no ms. Granger you will not be expelled. after you all you deserve a break from the recent loss and events that has happened in our world. there will be a fifty point mark off for you and as
for you Mr. Malyfoy..." Professor Snape walked in front of professor Mcgonagall and looked down at Malfoy. Malfoy had the look of terror run through his face and it was absolutely precious to watch him squirm.
"malfoy, I will take away 100 point away and I'm ashamed that you belong to Slytherin. even as a slytherin your act was vulgar and uncivilized. I also think that you two should serve detention
in the forbidden forest for two hours and thirty minutes." Professor snape turned around and Professor mcgonagall nodded at the punishment
and sent them away to go to their Head boy and girl dorms.
Hernione and Draco walked down the ancient halls that always whispered stories of the past and the mysterious. they climbed up the changing stairs
and said the password to get into their dorms. the Dorm was spacious and looked medieval and elegant. it had green and gold furnishings and had a black marble fireplace. in the corner were stairs that lead them to their rooms.
on one side of the wall were mahogany shelves to keep the books and had tapestries that told a fantasy story about knights and princesses. their was a a painting of all the four wizards and witches who created the school.
there were several Persian rugs laid on the ground and mahogany tables and desks were placed on top off the rugs. the place looked absolute royalty to hermione.
she looked at malfoy and he plopped down on one of the green velvet couches. he had a look of content and relief.
"I can't believe... the nerve." said Hermione with utter malice in her voice.
" oh get over it Granger. what's the big deal i got you and u got me, really good i must add. i have no bitterness towards you and hopefully you don't have bitterness towards me. we both got out of it all because those two felt sorry for Harry's courageous death against Voldemort." replied draco and he
slowly got up and walked towards Hermione and held out his for a handshake "truce?"
"never." said hermione with a cold and silent voice. she walked up the stairs and tears were welling up in her eyes, because of what Malfoy said about Harry.
"have it your way then, I was just trying to make things better between us since we are going to be next doors and living with one another." said Malfoy and he gave a smirk of self- satisfaction.
Hermione let out a groan and a look of disgust when she heard those words. she had a feeling that this was going to be a long year. not only was she to sleep next door to him she will also have to go into the forbidden forest with that spineless bastard tonight after the hatting ceremony.
Draco went up the stairs and headed towards his room. he past Hermoine's bedroom door and then went back and stood in front of it. he heard sniffling and small moans o crying. he assumed that he was a little heartless as to what he said about Harry, but it was the truth and everyone knows
that you can't runaway from that. although maybe he could have let it down gently towards her and he shouldn't have used that spell on her. he just wanted to see if it worked or not, he was surprised that a dimwit like goyle found a spell like that. it was worth it. he finally did see what was under that baggy
uniform she always wore and it was a nice picture, he wouldn't deny that. he felt obligated to say some type of apology, so he made himself knock open her door. it was a while until she opened her door. she had no trace of tears on her face and he r face wasn't even red, she was good at hiding those kind of things he assumed
he pushed her away and walked right in.
"Nice room." said Draco as he looked around the room.
"Get out Malfoy!" yelled hermione.
"Temper temper. i say something nice and i try to make by gones as by gones, but you always come back with malice." said Draco
"That's because we're enemies and we will always be enemies! you have done nothing but bring trouble to Harry, Ron, and Me. cant you just live Harry alone after what he has done! you're here today because of him
and isn't that enough? cant you just put your jealousy aside just for one moment? why do you have to bother him beyond his grave and why attack me? cant you just pick on somebody else and stop wasting my time? so if you have nothing else then i want you out of here!" said Hermione, letting out a small breath.
draco remained quiet for a second and then nodded his head. he walked over to her and grabbed her hands. Hermione was taken aback and froze out of shock.
"Look, hermione I'm sorry for what i said about Harry, i didn't mean to provoke anything or anyone, and I and the whole world will be forever grateful for Harry sacraficed,.but you must believe me when i say that I' am deeply sorry and that I'll give you a million more apologies until you forgive me or at least decide to put up with me
because I don't know about you, but i don' want to be enemies because then this will be much more of a longer year. is it truce then?" said draco and he finally let go of her hand. Hermione slowly walked backwards and pinched herself if this was really happening. she was wondering if this was really Malfoy. years and years of torment and he finally
wants to make peace?
"what are you playing at?" asked Hermione with suspicion
"Nothing! have you heard nothing that i have just said? i just want us to be... cool, that's how you muggles put it right?" said Draco. Hermione still had that look of suspicion. She crept up to Malfoy and slowly tip- toed her way up to his right year and whispered "No." and then she looked him square in the eye and said "far as I'm concerned everything you've said was bull!" Hermoine snapped her body around and left Draco standing there frozen and speechless.
