Horribly wrong. No, we still don't own him, and we never will. He belongs

A quick note from Sarah: Thank You to Starfleet Hobbit and Sex and Diamonds for reviewing. We love reviews, hint hint. P.S. If you are a Lord of the Rings fan I highly recommend Starfleet Hobbit's fanfics, especially "Concerning Samwise." Kim, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for typing out this chapter!

Chapter 3 The Mystery Head Boy Revealed
"Students, please settle down, the Sorting Ceremony is about to begin." The scared looking first-years filled into the Great Hall. After the hat's yearly song, Professor McGonagall called each student forward and placed the hat on his or her head. The sorting ceremony ended with Williams, Alicia ending up in Hufflepuff. At this, Dumbledore stood up, "Before we begin I would like to ask the our new Head Boy and Girl to meet me in my study after the feast, as it is customary to wait until this meeting to reveal the Head's identities to each other. I will make the announcement at breakfast tomorrow morning. In addition, the caretaker Mr. Filch, would like me to inform you that The List of Banned Items in the School Corridors now includes Weasly's Wizard Wheezes 'Canary Crèmes.' Finally the Dark Forest surrounding the school is off limits to all students." He glanced meaningfully in Harry and Ron's direction, "Now let the feast begin." He sat down as immense amounts of food appeared on all of the four house tables and the staff table. If the hall had not been so noisy they probably would have heard, the tables creak from the weight of it all. After they finished eating, even Ron was full, which was a first, Hermione rose from the table and began her long walk to Dumbledore's study. She had no idea who the Head Boy was. Dumbledore always bewitched the pins to appear invisible to the other Head before the meeting. This year it seemed that he was making an extra effort to make sure it stayed a secret. She wondered why. Normally the Head Boy and Girl would know by now, since their friends always told them. This year she had not heard anything from anyone. Hermoine finally came to the stone gargoyle who asked her for the password. "Butterscotch," she replied and the gargoyle jumped to the side allowing her access to the spiral staircase leading to study. She climbed until she came to a set of large oak doors. She pushed them open and stepped inside. The sight that met her eyes surprised her, to say the least. Draco Malfoy was sitting in an armchair looking at her, smirking. Hermoine thought there must be a mistake until she saw the silver Head Boy badge pinned on his robe. How could Malfoy be Head Boy? "I should have known you would be the new Head Girl, Granger," he drawled looking quite bored. "Malfoy, you are Head Boy?" Hermione asked shocked, having finally found her voice. "You are not the only one here with brains, and you say I'm egotistical," he laughed harshly. Hermione's face was getting red, but before she had a chance to respond to his stinging comment, Dumbledore walked into the room. He was smiling blissfully, unaware as to what just happened. "Ah, Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger good you are here. As you both know, you are to be the new Hogwarts Head Boy and Girl. This is a huge honor and an equally large responsibility. You will have many tasks to do throughout the year, many of which will be extremely difficult. You will also be expected to give the student body a good example, by at least acting like friends in public." He looked at them sternly and then continued, "Now, I must be going since I have a meeting with Cornelius Fudge in 30 minutes. Please wait here until Professor McGonagall comes to show to your new dormitories." Hermione began to examine the many unusual objects in Dumbledore's study in order to pass the time. She stopped looking when she felt a pair of eyes watching her. She turned to find Draco staring at her with the very same look he had given her on the train. She quickly convinced herself that she was only imagining these looks, and went back to observing the study. Draco was furious with himself. He was checking out a Mudblood. If his father heard, he would be furious. Draco shuttered, he did not want to think about that. Even worse, she had caught him looking at her. Luckily, she did not seem to have enough common sense to realize what kind of look he was giving her. Professor McGonagall entered the study, surprised that she did not hear a single insult spoken, only silence. Draco was sitting in an armchair, looking like he was deep in thought, while Hermione was examining various objects in the study. "Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger," Draco snapped out of his trancelike state, "will you please follow me." They both followed without a word as Professor McGonagall explained how to get to their commonroom. "Your dormitories are located in one of the castle's northern towers. It is a very easy path from here. If you do get lost, try to come back to this spot and then proceed to your commonroom. Now, all you have to do is to follow this corridor to its end. Then turn left. Keep going until you pass four doors on the right. Open the fourth door and you will see a spiral staircase. Go up the stairs and you will find yourself at the entrance to your common room. Your password is 'blamey.' I believe you can find your way. Just follow my directions. Goodnight," Professor McGonagall turned in the direction of Dumbledore's study, and walked away. Hermione and Draco continued along, following the professor's directions without a fault. At the top of the staircase, there was a portrait of three leprechauns, who were currently cackling over something. "Password," the leprechaun on the right side asked in a rich Irish accent. "Blarney," Hermione answered. The portrait swung open and Hermione, followed by Draco stepped in. The commonroom, decorated in a neutral crème color, but accented in Griffindor and Slytherin colors, was amazing. There were many comfortable chairs arranged near the fireplace. Pictures of past Head Boys and Girls hung on the walls. Near the back of the room, there was another staircase. It led to a landing with three doors. The one on the left had a silver 'D' on it, and the one on the right had a golden 'H' on it. Hermione assumed the door in the middle must be the bathroom. She then realized that she was alone. Hermione thought that Draco must have gone into his room, so she decided she would do the same. Hermione's room was a deep crimson red with gold accents. She had a large desk, which had quills, ink and her stationery already on it. She thought that the house elves must have come to unpack her stuff. Over the years, Hermione grew to accept the fact that house elves liked to work. She looked at her bed, a king size four-poster bed. It had a deep red comforter with the Griffindor seal on it. She then stepped into the bathroom. Her jaw dropped to the floor. It was huge. There was a large swimming pool like bathtub with many different faucets. It was similar to the one in the prefect's bathroom. A shower and two sinks were also included in the bathroom. One of them seemed to have already been set up for her by the house elves, for it had hundreds of bottles cluttering the counter. Hermione had to use a simple shrinking spell on every one to fit them all in her trunk. She was about to leave when Draco walked into the bathroom.
Sarah: Sorry for dropping off like that. I had written a lot more but it got way too fluffy. I didn't want to post it, for fear everyone who read it would throw up. Seriously, It was bad. Kimmee rewrote some of this chapter and made it sound a whole lot better, everyone say thank you to Kim! We will try to get some Draco & Hermione action in the next chapter (finally), WITHOUT FLUFF! Please Read and Review!
