Draconis
In the previous chapter:
She was almost to the entrance, when she felt a strong hand encircle her wrist and a hand clasp over her mouth, pulling her into the shadows.
Chapter Two ~ Heads or Tails Hermione wanted desperately to scream as she felt herself being pinned up against the wall, but with her attackers hand being clasped so tightly over her mouth she couldn't. So she settled instead for kneeing him in the groin. Her attacker released his tight grip on her wrist and fell to the ground in front of her, curling up into a fetal position.
"Ow! What the fuck is wrong with you?" a high-pitched but nevertheless male voice asked.
Hermione looked down at her attacker, who was none other than the blonde haired slytherin Draco Malfoy.
"You, Malfoy, my problem is you," Hermione's eyes were blazing and her tone was icy. She put her hands on her hips and glared down at Malfoy. "Why did you grab me?" she demanded angrily.
"I was just going to tell you the good news," Draco retorted sarcastically, still on the floor. "You get to share dorms with me for the rest of the year. Maybe mudblood you'll learn some manners, like how to treat your betters!" his tone was haughty even while in pain.
"Humph, as if you could possibly know anything about manners, scaring the wits out of people just to amuse yourself!" Hermione turned and started to walk away, then paused to add "I'd rather be mudblood than the amazing bouncing ferret!" before continuing into the Great Hall.
Draco glared at her retreating back before attempting to pick himself up off the floor. "Damn mudblood must have metal kneecaps" he muttered under his breath.

Hermione entered the Great Hall just in time to see Professor Dumbledore rising from his seat.
"Ahem. May I have your attention," he said loudly. "It is time to announce this years heads," he continued a moment later after the Hall had quieted. "Ah, and here is our new head girl now, Miss Hermione Granger!" He finished turning to look at Hermione, smiling, a twinkle in his eyes.
Hermione turned a bright shade of crimson as the Great Hall burst into wild applause, the cheers especially loud from the Gryffindor table as Harry and Ron had jumped up onto their chairs and were whistling loudly.
Dumbledore waited a moment for the cheers to die down before continuing. "This years head boy is Mr. Draco Malfoy!" he announced just as Malfoy was dragging himself into the Great Hall. The Slytherin table burst into applause, while the Gryffindors sat with their mouths hanging open in disbelief. The Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs clapped politely, no longer really interested since neither of their houses were involved.
Harry and Ron stared at each other in shock, then both said "Malfoy?" at the same time, disgust written across each of their faces.
"Yes, Malfoy," Hermione answered with a tinge of annoyance in her voice. "He does have the second best marks in the school." She stated matter-of- factly. "Now if you two don't mind I would like to eat my dinner without anymore discussion about ferret-boy." She reached down and picked up her fork, about to begin eating the kidney-pie that had magically appeared on her plate, but Dumbledore began speaking again.
"I have one other announcement to make. All fourth through seventh years are to stay after dinner for information about the project they will spend most of this year completing." He sat back down, and as he did so, the noise in the Great Hall rose drastically as the excited older students began discussing what the mysterious project could possibly be and the disappointed younger ones whined about how unfair it was.
a/n: I'm sorry to those of you who are disappointed that I am changing the story so soon. thanks to my 4 reviewers:Heather Malfoy, Fashiondiva, Bombshell, dazed*kitten. I really appreciate all the great things you guys are saying, so please keep the reviews coming! they are what makes me want to keep going. I'm sorry about another cliffie, I was going to keep going but I haven't gotten all the details about the trip planned out so I decided not to continue. I should have it up tomorrow night though! Also, the chapters will begin to get a lot longer, they are short now because I am just getting started.
