Rating: R Summary: Sirius is gone, so Harry has left. Ron and Ginny are busy with quidditch practice, so Hermione is practically alone. Who will she turn to in her darkest hour.

[Hermione's POV]

I heard my mother walk into my room and cross the floor to the window. The next thing I knew the sunlight was hitting my face. I attempted to pull the covers over my face to shield me from the evilness, until I realized they were gone.

"C'mon Mione, we have to go to Diagon Alley, I just got your letter from Hogwarts. We have to buy you some new books and a new cat."

A new cat? O yah, I forgot. It's been a month since Crookshanks died, I was and still am kind of devastated, but mom said no more pets, why now?

"Huh" I question her, "New cat, but why?"

"Well," she responded, "Here, read this" She handed a piece of ivory paper that read "CONGRATULATIONS". I steadily unfolded the paper unsure of what to expect. I slowly began to read the paper

"Dear Miss Granger,

I and the rest of the Hogwarts staff are pleased to announce that you are to be this years Head Girl. We expect to see you on September 1st in the Head compartment for the start of term meeting. You will be showed to your dorm after the sorting ceremony.

Enclosed is a list of all meeting dates. You and the Head Boy are to plan dances, holiday feasts and other fun filled activities to make the school session more enjoyable. You are responsible for your actions as you are one of the role models of this school. We plan to inform you of the Head Boy at the sorting ceremony where you and he will be introduced after the last student is sorted into his/her house. You will then rise from your seat and walk to the Staff table where you are to shake hands with all staff members and deliver a short acceptance speech.

We look forward to having you as a well deserved Head Girl, enjoy the rest of your holidays.

Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall"

I dropped the letter and jumped of the bed. "Oh My God Mom! This is great! This is AMAZING! I have to get dressed, I have to meet Ron and Ginny and Harry. I have to tell them. This is great!"

I bounded into the bathroom to get dressed. I started to undress and turned on the warm water of the bath tub.

[Draco's POV]

`Who are you?' I asked

'I can't say' she slowly responded

'But why, you are so beautiful, I can't live without you'

The figure of a beautiful woman leaned forward. She had chocolate brown eyes and rich chocolate ringlets that fell to the middle of her back. Her face was unseen to me, yet I knew that I loved her

The sunlight suddenly splashed onto my face causing me to blink awake. I looked around my room. 'Damnit" I thought 'It was just that damn dream again'. I have been having these dreams every night and I still don't know who she is.

I slowly swung my legs to the side of the bed and stood. I had to go to Diagon Alley with mother today. Lucius is still in Azkaban, and mother has taken it upon herself to raise me as her well-mannered child. I grunted at this thought, well-mannered my ass!

I padded across the emerald green carpet and opened the door to my bathroom. I slowly undressed as I prepared my warm bath water [*authOr faints*].

[Hermione's POV]

I stepped out of the shower and pulled the towel around me. I peered at the mirror and realized how much I had changed this summer. My hair had changed to chocolate ringlets that fell to the middle of my back instead of that giant frizz ball that I called hair. I had curves, because I had filled out in all the right places. I actually wore makeup now.

I pulled out my hair dryer and started brushing till it dried. Then I put in some "Aunt Emma's Hair Tamer, Curl Keeper potion" that I got on a Hogsmeade trip last year. I put on some black eyeliner, pink eye shadow, and cotton candy flavored lip-gloss. I finished the look with a bit of blush to accent the apples of my cheeks.

I drifted across my ruby carpet and opened the door of my wardrobe. I looked at the contents carefully until I chose a yellow baby doll shirt that read "Sex Kitten" in a red glitter font, and then I chose some faded light denim shorts. I put on some flat white flip flops.

"MOM! IM READY!"

I head down the stairs and out the front door where my mom was waiting in the passenger seat of my new mini cooper. I opened the door on the right side [driver's seat in England yah kno..], and slid in. I pushed the key into the ignition and backed out of the driveway.

[Draco's POV]

I stepped out of the bathtub and wrapped the towel around my waist and stood in front of the mirror. I had changed over the summer. I was more toned from my quidditch practices in the backyard, and I stopped gelling my hair back, so I just allowed it to fall down naturally. I walked to my closet and looked at my choices. I pulled out a black wife beater and a pair of black Dickies. I looked down at the floor and chose a pair of black Lugz. I walked to my bed to pull on my shoes when I noticed a letter on my bed with the Hogwarts seal on it. I opened it I noticed my book list, and the regular back to school stuff. Then an envelop fell out that read "CONGRATULATIONS" . I opened the ivory envelope nimbly and pulled a piece of paper then I began to read its contents:

"Dear Mr. Malfoy,

I and the rest of the Hogwarts staff are pleased to announce that you are to be this years Head Boy. We expect to see you on September 1st in the Head compartment for the start of term meeting. You will be showed to your dorm after the sorting ceremony.

"Holy crap!" I shouted, 'MOM! I MADE HEAD! "

Finally, I have made head boy, stupid Potter hasn't beat me for once. Mother promised me that if I made head I got to get a cat. Ebony [the family cat] died a year ago, and I have been so depressed without him there, so I can finally replace him.

I walked down the stairs and met my mother at the fireplace. I grabbed some floo powder and stepped into the fireplace. "Diagon Alley" I stated and began to whirl into a whirl of colors.

Well, that's my first story that I am going to be serious about. Please R/R and I will be sure to mention you in my next story. I should have an update in about 3 days depending on how many reviews I get.
