thank you guys so much for reviewing me i really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"wake up granger," a rough hand shoved my shoulder.
"fuck off, who are you?" i groaned, sitting up and rubbing my eyes. oh, it was malfoy.
"you fell asleep and we're almost at hogwarts. i thought you might want to change into your school robes." he didnt smile but his eyes were not the cold metal gray i had become so used to seeing. was malfoy actually being friendly to me? i reached into my bag, pulled on my robes, and fastened my Head Girl badge over them as train pulled to a stop.
"FIRST YEARS OVER 'ERE FIRST YEARS OVER 'ERE," i could hear Hagrid yelling.
"HAGRID!" he first looked at me, and then he noticed my badge
" 'ERMOINE! CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING HEAD GIRL. IM REALLY PROUD OF YOU!"
"THANKS HAGRID," i yelled back.
"C'mon Granger, let's get a carriage," i saw malfoy next to me.
"Are you kidding?" i asked as i marched away, over to ron, harry, and ginny.
"Hey 'moine, was that malfoy we saw you talking to?" ginny asked.
"yea it was," i replied.
"why were you talking to ferret boy?!" ron asked, "have you gone mad?"
"first of all, he was talking to me, second of all its not your buisness why i responded, third of all, he was actually acting polite, unlike he usually is," i said bitterly. then i slapped my hand to my mouth. shit! i thought, i almost let my secret slip. harry tilted his head at me.
"what's that supposed to mean?" i shook my head,
"nothing." harry looked at me peculiarly. "nothing, harry!" i said, raising my voice.
"ok then," ginny said, seeing my discomfort, "let's get a carriage shall we?" i glanced at her thankfully before going towards a carriage.
"c'mon, lets get in." the carriage ride to hogwarts was silent. no one spoke, no one had anything to say.
"we're there," harry announced after about 5 minutes. i looked up. there was hogwarts in all its splendor, lights sparking, the sound of the lake with its small waves crashing gently to shore. i felt a lump in my throat but quickly swallowed it. after we got into hogwarts and the sorting ceremony was over, dumbledore stood up to make an announcement.
"welcome to another year at hogwarts. i first want to recognize the new head boy and girl, Draco Malfoy and Hermoine Granger. Will the two of you please stand up?" We stood up to scattered applause while i was determinedly not looking at malfoy. "i expect all of you to respect the head boy and girl to listen to what they tell you, and to follow their examples. keep in mind that they have the power to give and take away house points, although they may not take away points from each other."
"damn i was looking forward to that," i whispered under my breath as the few people around me quietly laughed.
" that is all for now," dumbledore continued, "you may TUCK IN!" he shouted the last words as food appeared on the plates in front of us. after dinner professor mcgonagall came to get me and malfoy and take us to our common room. we climbed 3 flights of stairs and finally arrived at a picture of a witch and a wizard pointing their wands at each other.
"this picture is not only a portrait, but it moniters your relationship with each other. the friendlier you become, you will see the witch and wizard become closer friends. the more you fight, the greater the hatred will become in the picture. your password is trust. it may not be changed under any circumstances." then she left us. malfoy looked at me,
"i wish i could take away points from you. i would take away 25," he hissed at me.
"why?" i asked, narrowing my eyes at him.
"because you are a bitchy little gryffindor mudblood," he sneered.
"well when you put it that way," i laughed, " i would take 50 points away from you."
"hmm?" he asked.
"because you are an ignorant selfish little ferret."
"look at the picture," he laughed. the witch and the wizard were now both sneering at each other and had moved closer together. they made the picture look more menancing.
"let's go inside," i whispered, not looking at malfoy.
"trust," he said clearly and the picture swung open. i stepped inside and gasped. a great fire roared at one side of the room and was surrounded with silver and red plushy couches and lounge chairs. there were gold and green banners hanging from the ceiling which, like the ceiling in the great hall, was bewitched to look like the sky outside. there was a black plushy shag rug on the floor and little tables all around with candles. there were dozens of pictures of snakes and lions hanging from the walls and in the back of the room were two gold staircases, each going up to a different side. from each of the staircases hung banners with our initials on them. one was red and had "HG" on it in gold swirly writing. the other staircase had an identical banner with a green background and the letteres "DM" on it in silver writing. i walked past draco and up my staircase to come to a red door. there was a gold handle on one side of it with "HG" on it. i pushed open the handle and gasped. there was a huge bed in the middle with red and gold sheets and a gold canopy. there was a red carpet on the floor and red wallpaper with gold trim on the walls. i had a bureau and vanity over to the left side of my room, both in mahogany wood. over to the right side was a door that, i supposed, let to my bathroom. next to the door was a mahogany desk with a leather lounge chair. the wall opposite my bed was completely bare. the perfect place to set up my t.v., i thought to myself. next to my bed on either side were night tables big enough to hold my c.d. player and cases. i walked inside the bathroom. the whole floor was marble tiles and the ceiling and walls were beige. over to the right was a marble shower and a marble walk-in bathtub. over to the left was a counter with a sink and a wall-long mirror. i went back into my bedroom and opened my bureau and saw that all of my clothes had already been unpacked and put inside the drawers. i decided to put a locking spell on my door, so that malfoy couldn't get in unwanted. i muttered a spell that would allow only me to open the door, unless i gave a person special permission.
"hey granger!" i head a voice call me. i walked outside although only just outside my door. malfoy stood opposite me on the other staircase. "what do you think of the rooms?"
"they're ok," i said quietly staring him straight in the face.
"sorry," he dragged the last syllable out and i knew he was being sarcastic. "i didnt mean to offend you by asking about our rooms," he rolled his eyes and sneered.
"believe me, you've offended me enough," i snapped back.
"what's that supposed to mean?" he asked.
"oh dont tell me you dont remember," i complained.
"no, i seriously dont." that shocked me
"well then, i guess i wont ever need to trust you malfoy. you just proved to me that you are so insensitive you cant remember what you even did to hurt me. that shows me that you dont care about anyone elses feelings, it means you dont even care about anyone but yourself. thanks malfoy, now i know to stay away from you." without waiting for a response, i turned around and walked back into my room, slamming the door behind me.
