Time and Time Again

PLOT: Dumbledore has chosen Draco and Hermione as the Head Boy and Head Girl. It's known throughout Hogwarts that they don't get along so they are brought to school two weeks before summer vacation is over. They meet two weeks before and a relationship blossoms will it be more?

                                      Chapter One: Early Arrival

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Miss Hermione Granger,

I am pleased to inform you that you have made this years Head Girl. Though considering that Mr. Malfoy has been chosen to be the Head Boy and you don't particularly get along I have a proposal for you. You and Mr. Malfoy will arrive two weeks early and adjust to working and living together. You need to make peace and come to an understanding. If you comply with my request you will gain your house an extra hundred and fifty points. Oh, and I would like it if you would not share this letter with Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley. Please send your response back with this owl.

                                                Sincerely
                                Headmaster Albus Dumbledore

"I have to spend two weeks with Malfoy before school even starts?" Hermione protested to the letter. "I can't believe this, but at least I get extra house points. I might as well go I mean what's the worst thing that could happen." so Hermione quickly replied to the letter and sent the owl on its way. "Now how to tell Harry and Ron that I have to leave the Burrow early. This is going to be hard."

"Not that hard." Ginny's spoke from the doorway.

"Geez, Gin you should be careful I mean you could seriously give someone a heart attack."

"Sorry but I thought I would help you tell Harry and Ron that you have to leave after we go to Diagon Alley."

"Which would be what?"

"Tell them your aunt died and her funeral is in two days but your parents want you home, and they want you to stay their for the rest of the summer so you will see them when you get to Hogwarts."

"How did you . . . Have you been spying on me?"

"No just eavesdropping on our conversation with the letter."

"Oh, well how will they buy that I mean I need my stuff with me."

"Easy I am going to write you a letter and you are going to show it to them say it is from your mother and then bingo your gone after you're done in Diagon Alley."

"Thanks Gin.... Well what are you waiting for start writing already." with no further ado Ginny set to writing the letter and soon Hermione was standing in the leaving room explaining it to the boys, with tearful eyes.

"I am so sorry I mean I don't want to leave.... (Sniffle) I mean you know how it is . . ."

"Don't, worry bout it 'Mione, we understand come on and we will help you pack your stuff."

"Thanks Harry, I really appreciate it."

"That's what friends are for right Ron?"

"Yes, that's what we are for." the golden Trio and Ginny then went upstairs and set to packing Hermione's things and before they knew it the day was over and she was gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hello Hermione its great to see you again." greeted Minerva as she saw her favorite student exit the carriage that picked her up in Hogsmede.

"It's good to see you as well Professor, how have you been?"

"Quite well actually, now come along and I will show you too your quarters."
Professor McGonagall then levitated Hermione's bags and led her to the fourth floor east corridor. She stopped in front if a painting of fairies and waited for them to approach.

"Password." they sang

"Unity." at that the portrait flew up to reveal a door which opened as soon as it was revealed. "Follow me Miss Granger." Hermione followed her into a magnificent common room. It was green and red to show the Slytherin and Gryffindor colors. The carpet was a fluffy white that was so soft it felt like she was walking on air. There was a fireplace that was roaring, and above it was a portrait of a lion and a snake lounging together as friends. It had a couch directly in front of it and two armchairs placed diagonal to the fireplace. It had a library of books that took up an entire wall. There were also two desks facing each other. They had already been equipped with tons of parchment, quills and ink. There was a staircase that led to her room and Malfoy's.

"Wow, this place is beautiful"

"Yes, yes it is now if you excuse me I have to inform the Headmaster that you have arrived."

"Yes, I'll see you later."

"Oh, by the way Miss Granger, dinner is at seven o'clock in the Great Hall."

"I'll see you then." without another word Hermione threw off her shoes and jumped on the couch. This was heaven. She quickly made her way up to her room and saw that Malfoy's room was across the hall from hers. She went into her room and saw the huge king sized bed, a vanity, a walk in closet, and an adjoining balcony. She also had a bathroom that she shared with Malfoy. So she unpacked her accessories and clothes. When she was settled in she took a quick shower. She then got dressed and made her way down to the common room. When she entered she soon saw it wasn't empty. Draco Malfoy occupied one of the armchairs and was reading. As she walked into the room he looked up and a smirk formed on his face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione walked into the room and I looked up from my book and was very surprised at what I saw. She had definitely become a woman. She grew into her curves and well her breasts had developed quite a lot. Her clothes complemented her body well. She had on a pair of very low very tight jeans and a tight pink top, which showed off her mid-drift and her belly button ring. Her hair had tamed and lost its frizzed texture. It was still curly but the curls were now soft. Her hair was no longer bushy and had straightened except for the curls at the end. There was only one word that could be used for her at this moment beautiful.

"Well if it isn't Granger."

"Malfoy." she spat with hatred

"Now, now Granger aren't we here to become friends."

"Unfortunately."

"Come on I mean I can't be that bad, so I've been a totally and complete bastard to you in the past years. So why don't we make this year different from the others."

"Am I hearing this right you, Draco Malfoy, wants too start over and become friends with a mudblood like me?"

"Well, I wouldn't put it that way, come on just give me one chance?"

"Oh, my gods who are you and what have you done with Malfoy?" Hermione asked in a serious voice.

"I am Draco Malfoy, just a new him. Ever since my father died along with Voldermort I decided it was time for a change."

"Change?"

"Yes, I have new morals and new values and one of them is too give muggle's a chance."

"So you Mr. Draco Malfoy are willing to be my friend?"

"If you are willing to be mine."

"I guess everyone deserves a second chance."

"I take it that was a yes?"

"Yes, now if we don't hurry along we will be late for dinner."

"May I escort you?"

"If you'd like." with that Hermione linked her arm with his and they set off to the Great Hall.

Maybe Malfoy has changed, I sure hope he has.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Burrow later that night ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Harry how could this have happened I mean tonight was the night I was going to ask her out and I had a huge night planned!"

"Don't worry about it Ron I mean ask her the next time you see her."

"Well that won't be for two bloody weeks!"

"Ron, you need to calm down I'm sure she isn't going anywhere I mean, she is going home to a funeral its not like she is going to be going guy hunting right?"

"I guess, well I'm going to sleep and hopefully that will calm me down a bit."

"Exactly, so you don't need to worry about some guy sweeping her off her feet."

"If you say so, now be quiet so I can sleep."

"Right see you in the morning Ron."

Little did they know of where Hermione really was and what was happening.
