MAGIC, LOVE AND MAYHEM

PART 3: the head boy.

"Well if it isn't the mudblood witch", Draco said to her "Granger" he said. Then he took another look at her in astonishment.

"Well, well, well, look who had a miraculous summer makeover. I MUST say though Granger. It doesn't suit you." He said his eyes dancing with laughter.

"You'll never be pretty so why even try?" he said, his words cutting through her like a knife through butter.

Hermione was shocked and hurt, but didn't say anything that would indicate that he had hurt her.

"YOU'RE head boy?" she asked in disbelief

Draco looked over to her and twisted his lips into a wicked grin, "Yes Granger I am, You see." he said his eyes beginning to glint maliciously, "As a pure blood wizard, I don't need to be an insufferable know it all to get head boy" he said cruelly

Hermione looked away, tears threatening to spill over. * Why should things be any different * she thought to herself. * Just because we're meant to be working with each other this year, I can't expect things to be different. * She thought.

"Well Malfoy" she spat out, "I guess then that the pure blood wizards Don't need to be smart, all they need is their daddy's money"

Draco glared at her.

Hermione shot daggers back at him.

"Filthy mudblood" he muttered underneath his breath.

Hermione just turned her head away from him, if she was going to put up with him then she would have to learn to ignore him.

Draco scowled once more and looked away, he could not believe that he had to work with that filthy mudblood of a witch. He looked at her in distain. He thanked god that Lucius didn't know that the mudblood was head girl. He could only imagine what his 'loving' father would have to say about a mudblood being the head girl.

He stared out of the window watching the scenery fly by him in a blurry haze.

Hermione was just sitting there. She was upset about what Draco had said, but she wasn't going to let him see that he had affected her in any way.

They were sitting there in silence when there was a knock at the carriage door.

Hermione got up to open the door, pulling it open she reveled Ariana Lexicon a sixth year Slytherin. Her bright icy blue eyes stared into Hermione's, "I just came to say Congratulations to both of you for getting head boy and head girl this year." And with that she turned around and left.

"That girl is just TOO weird. Loopy is the word for it," Hermione muttered to herself as she closed the door.

She wandered back to her seat and sat down. A voice came crackling through the intercom that had been installed through out the train.

"We will be arriving at Hogwarts within the half hour" the voice announced and then faded out.

Hermione decided that she should get changed into her robes. She looked at Draco. He looked back at her.

"Do you mind?" he asked. Motioning for her to leave the compartment.

She got up in disgust. "Not at all Malfoy" she cried making for the door. She pulled it open and stormed out taking her robes with her.
