A/N: Hey all. I'm Lauren and I'm writing this story with my friend,
Danielle. We're sort of alternating writing the view points, so that'll
explain any writing style differences you might notice. This chapter
really has nothing whatsoever to do with the plot. But whatever. Our
story, we'll do what we want. Please R/R!! Also, any ideas will be
appreciated. Thanx. On with the story!!

Sixteen-year-old, Hermione Granger, reread her Hogwarts letter over again as a smile broke out on her face.

All that hard work paid off.

"Mum! Dad! I made school prefect!" she squealed as she sprinted down the stairs to her parents. Even though she had expected she would most likely get prefect, she was still very excited.

" That's fantastic honey!" her mother said as she embraced her daughter. " We're so proud of you," said her father as he also hugged his daughter.

" I have to write Ron and Harry straight away!" Hermione said as she ran back up the stairs to her room to write her two best friends, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter. She dug into her desk drawer for her parchment and quill.

Dear Harry and Ron,
How's your summer going? I hope you two are having fun at the Burrow. I can't wait till school starts so I can see you again. I just received my Hogwarts letter. Guess what! I've been made a school prefect! only three weeks before the new term starts. I'm going to Diagon Alley the week before term starts. I hope to see you guys there. If not, then see you September 1st on the Hogwarts Express.
Love,
Hermione P.S.- Tell Giny I said hi.

Hermione quickly proofread her letter and folded it up so she could attach it to Gwendolyn. Gwendolyn was her owl that she had gotten from her parents for her fifteenth birthday the pervious year. Hermione watched as Gwendolyn flew into the horizon bringing her letter to Harry and Ron.

She sighed as she looked into the distance.

Draco Malfoy threw his Hogwarts letter on his bed and sat down in the green armchair next to the fireplace, running his fingers through his platinum blonde hair. Most boys his age would be thrilled to be a school prefect. But Draco was not like most boys. He knew the only reason why he had made school prefect was because his father, Lucius, had made a very large donation to the school's Defense Against the Dark Arts program. Usually Draco didn't mind when his father used the family wealth to get his own way. But in this case, he did. Draco knew he could have made prefect on his own without his father's help. He was one of the smartest students in his year. In fact, he was second only to Hermione Granger.

Granger.

He thought bitterly to himself. Granger and her two best friends, the Weasel and the Boy-Who-Lived-to-Annoy- Him had been his enemies since their first day of Hogwarts. Draco smirked to himself.

I'm going to have a lot of fun with the Dream Team this year.
