A/N: Hey. This is my first fanfic and reviews are always welcome, even flames! If you have any ideas you'd like me to put down, just tell me, and I'll take them into consideration. By the way, I'm from Australia, so my spelling may differ to other people out there.

Disclaimer: The only thing I own is my plot, Ken and Hilary, and it's gonna stay that way through the rest of the story.

~*~*~*~*~ Chapter 1: The Last Train Ride to Hogwarts ~*~*~*~*~

"Well good morning to all you folks out there on this beautiful day of September the first. Next up we have." "Arghhhhhhh". A young woman with straight brown hair and honey eyes slammed her small fist down on the OFF button.

"Hermione dear, it's time to get up or you'll miss the train", Mrs Granger yelled up the stairs.

"Yeahgulaga". Hermione resentfully lifted her head off the pillow and headed of slowly to the bathroom.

Hermione was the Head Girl this year at Hogwarts. She kind of knew that she would gain the position, but it still came as a shock when the small gold badge fell into her hand out of her usual letter. Hermione had grown out of her bushy hair stage, and it was now fairly straight. She had grown a couple of inches, but not as much as Harry and Ron. They had both grown and developed considerably, as she noticed when she met them in Diagon Alley. Hermione came out of the bathroom about half an hour later in a knee length pink flowery skirt and a dark red tank top with cream coloured flip flops. She has pulled her hair up today because it was going to be fairly hot.

Hermione's POV

"Morning mum, dad. How long do we have before I have to leave?"

"Hello hunny. We have about half an hour."

Half an hour. That's enough time for me to pack my stuff and eat breakfast. I ran back upstairs and grabbed my wand. With a flick and a simple spell, the contents strewn all over the floor neatly folded themselves and packed themselves. I Couldn't believe how much easier it was to do my work with a wand.

I walked downstairs again with my charmed featherweight trunk hovering behind me. "Yum. Pancakes. What's the special occasion?" I asked my mum while looking at the strawberry covered pancakes.

"Well it's not every day your little daughter is in her final year of school", my mum replied.

Oh my god. I couldn't believe it. This was the last time I was going to eat breakfast at home before going to school.

I quickly at my breakfast and went to my room to check that everything was packed. All was in order so I went back down.

"Ok. Time to go."

I hopped into the car and listened to linkin park on my discman on the way there. I would have to send the discman back home with my parents, as electronic devices didn't work at Hogwarts.

We finally pulled into the station and I stowed my trunk on the trolley. I said goodbye to my parents and entered the magical world through platform 9 ¾.

Crookshanks was meowing dolefully in his box. "Don't worry Crooky. I'll let you out when we get on the train", I cooed to him.

"Not if I have any say in that. I don't need that furball wrecking my stuff."

I knew that voice. I spun around and squealed.

"Ron! How was your holiday?" I said as I hugged him.

"Hi Mione. It was great. I met a new girl over the holidays called Hilary. She's in sixth year in Gryffindor!"

"Hey that's great." It was a relief to see that Ron had gotten over me. I knew that he had started liking me in second year, but I didn't feel that way about him.

"Let's go find Harry. All we have to look for is a red and black head. Ginny and Harry will probably be busy snogging in a carriage."

I knew that Harry and Ginny we're going out, as they had sent me letters with every detail on what happened.

We got on the train when I saw a blob of red hurtle towards me. I fell over with shock and saw Ginny latched on to me. I laughed and hugged her back.

"Hey, can I have my girlfriend back now?"

Harry was standing beside Ron grinning at the two us on the ground. I took his hand and gave him a big hug.

"Let's go find a carriage now guys," I said.

A couple of hours later when we had caught up and has something to eat from the trolley, a girl with curly blonde hair poked her head into the carriage.

"Hilary!" Ron yelled.

"Hi Ron. I was hoping to find you." Hilary came into the compartment and looked around at the rest of us. She was very pretty, and she sounded really nice. I stood up and introduced myself.

"Hi. I'm Hermione Granger. How are you?" I said extending a hand.

"Hi. I'm Hilary Whitman. It's nice to meet you. Ron talks about you a lot."

Harry introduced himself, as Ginny already knew her and she sat down with us, of course next to Ron. Just then the plump witch with the food trolley came back into our compartment.

"Is there a Miss Hermione Granger here?"

"Yeah. That's me"

"Professor McGonagall has requested you to meet her in the front carriage."

"Ok. Thank you." I stood up.

"I'll be back in a minute I think. Must be some head girl business." I winked at them and left.

When I entered the front carriage I saw Professor McGonagall's head in the fireplace. There were two chairs in front of the fireplace, and one was occupied by none other that Draco Malfoy. I stood in shock for a few seconds then sat in the other chair.

"Well now that you are both here I need to make some changes evident. This year the Head Boy and Girl, which is you two, will be sharing a common room and have adjoining rooms and bathrooms. This is in an attempt to make relations within the school stronger because of past. circumstances.

In the past couple of years, Harry and the Order had defeated Voldemort. Unfortunately Lupin and Tonks had died in the battle. Magical folk all over the world thought that they were safe because of Voldemort's demise. All the Death Eaters had been given the cursed Dementor's Kiss, who had returned back to working for the Ministry. Only a select few knew that Voldemort had produced an heir before her was defeated. No one knew to whom this heir belonged, or who he or she was.

I looked back at McGonagall and solemnly nodded. "That is all. Oh, and Dumbledore wants a few words with you after the feast, so make your way to the door to the left of the staff table."

"Ok. Thanks Professor McGonagall." I stood up and left quickly before Malfoy threw a smart mouth comment at me.

I entered our compartment and sat down with a huff. I couldn't believe that I would spend the whole year with Malfoy. My last year at school wasn't starting out very well.

"So, what happened?" Harry asked me.

"Did you find out who the Head Boy is?" Ron inquired.

"Yeah I found out who he is, and the fact that I have to share a common room with him for the whole year, in an attempt to 'improve inter-house relations'."

"Ok then, who is it?" Ginny looked at me questioningly.

I sighed. "It's."

"Draco Lucius Malfoy" a voice sneered from the compartment door.

Ron jumped up and so did Harry in case he had to restrain him.

"Get out Malfoy before I hex you into a million pieces", Ron threatened.

"No. I don't think I will. I quite like this compartment. I'm sure you agree Crabbe, Goyle?" They grunted their yes in unison.

"Get out Malfoy. I already have to spend the whole year waking up to your slime ball of a face, I'd appreciate it when I have a choice not to look at you, that you stay away from me!" I screamed all this in one go, and I felt great. Malfoy looked at me with a stunned face, then smirked at me again.

"Actually I'm sure you'd enjoy seeing me in the morning everyday. You know how much you want me."

"In your dreams Malferret." I retorted exasperatedly.

"Expelliarmus!" yelled a voice. Malfoy and his cronies were thrown out of the compartment.

"Don't add much to the décor in here do they?" the voice came from Hilary who was now on her feet with a grin on her face and her wand out in front of her. We all looked at her in astonishment as she slammed the door shut. Ron was the first one to say something.

"That was bloody amazing!

We all looked at her in astonishment for a couple of seconds then started laughing.

We got off the train in the dark and got into a carriage together. Once we reached the castle, we entered through the big oak doors and headed off to our last ever-welcoming feast.
