I do however own the 3 6th year prefect characters from Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. They're actually names of my friends so yeah. And I do own the plot, that I hope is very original. So please don't sue or take any legal action against me writing this fanfic. The only thing out of this is happiness =) No money is being made so lay off with the lawyers aye? Sorry for blabbering on.

When Hermione returned back into the compartment that held Harry and Ron, she was immediately bombarded with questions.

"What happened Mione?"

"Did he try to do anything?"

"Have you been crying??"

"Oh I knew he was up to no good, just wait till I get my hands on that ferret!!" Ron said fuming, turning his face nearly as red as his Weasly hair.

"We'll get him for you don't worry"

"NO STOP!!" Hermione screamed out over the other two boys. "we had a prefect meeting, no he didn't do anything bad, infact he was very gentlemen like, yes and no Ron, you don't have to do anything to him. She answered all their questions in order and not even skipping a beat,

"Hmm if you say so Mione", Harry said after a few seconds.

" Hermione, what happened then?" Ron asked quizzically.

"Well..it was in the holidays..." Hermione started and she retold the entire story to the two boys. After the end of it she broke down into tears again and was sobbing very hard. As she sat crying, her two friends sat with her comforting her as Draco had done. Only Hermione did not feel the same warmth that she had from Draco, which was weird since Harry and Ron had been her two best friends for the previous 6 years, but her thoughts were quickly interrupted as they had pulled in to the station in Hogsmeade,

Hermione had quieted down and was only sniffing and hic cupping a bit. She ran back into the bathroom to once again make her self look respectable and then back again to Harry and Ron. Together they stepped of the train and Harry and Ron got into the carriage that took them to Hogwarts. Hermione had to stay behind and help Hagrid load all the first year students onto the boats that took them across the lake. The other prefects were already there when she arrived, well all except Draco. She shook it off and started ordering around the first year students and tried coaxing the ones who were scared of water or had heard of frightful sorties of the Giant Squid from older brothers and sisters.

When the herding was finished, Hermione was hungry and couldn't wait for the Welcoming feast to begin and finish, so that she could go to bed. As she walked into the Great Hall with the other prefects, she was once again happy to be back at Hogwarts. She sat down at the Prefects table that was located behind the other house tables, parallel to the teachers one. She took a seat next to Ginny and notice that there was an empty seat. She was starting to get worried now and was about to ask Ginny when Dumbledore stood up to announce the begging of the sorting hat ceremony.

Welcome back to all of our previous students and welcome to our first years." He began. "The sorting hat will be brought out soon and the first years will be sorted. Please welcome them and try to make them feel at home. The sorting will now begin" A line of nervous looking first years began to make their way towards the stage. Professor McGonagall brought in the shabby looking hat on the three legged stool.

The sorting hat began its song about the four houses. Hermione was only half listening to the song of the sorting hat. She was thinking about the absence of another and all the duties that she would have that year and the O.W.L.S. She caught parts of the song.

"You might belong in Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart, their daring, nerve and chivalry set Gryffindors apart.."

"Or perhaps in Slytherin, you'll make your real friends, those cunning folk use any means, to achieve their ends."

"Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a ready mind, where those of wit and learning, will always find their kind."

You might belong in Hufflepuff, where those are just and loyal, those patient Hufflepuff's are true and unafraid of toil."

After the little song, the first year students were called up one by one.

"Valerie Ackles" Professor McGonagall yelled out.

She was a short, petite girl who looked very nervous.

"Hmm she has a good mind, maybe Ravenclaw, but her heart is full of courage. GRIFFINDOR" the hat yelled out. The girl ran off the stage happily and sat down with the other Griffindors who were welcoming her.

"Alex Amberham" the Mcgonagall called out, and so on and so on until she reached the last student.

"Karmen Zabini" the girl who slinked up onto the stage was definitely Balise Zabini's sister. They had the same blonde hair and green eyes. (A/N: I don't really know what Blaise looks like sorry!!!)

"This one has only one thing in her mind, to succeed no matter what, she will do well in SLYTHERIN" it yelled out. Happy with her house she got up and walked skanikly towards the Slytherin table. No doubt about it, she was from the same family as Blaise.

"Now that everyone is sorted I will read out the notices. The forbidden forest is STRICTLY forbidden without permission or accompaniment from a teacher. It holds many creatures that are wild and you would not want to meet alone at night or even during the day." As he said that, he looked at Harry and Ron who quickly put their heads down.

"The list of forbidden objects has now been raised to 569. You will find that list outside Mr Filch's office." "The trips to Hogsmeade will only be open to those in the 5th year and above. Dumbledore carried on with his notices that were mainly directed at the First years since the other students had already sat through it at least once, others six times.

"Now to introduce our prefects." Dumbledore said, suddenly gaining Hermione's attention. From Griffindor, Virginia Weasly. She stood up and received a few wolf whistles from boys at the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables. "Maksim from Slytherin. He stood up and took a "gracious" bow. "Kurt McQuoid from Hufflepuff" as he said this, many girls looked dreamily at Kurt and sighed. He was not only cute to them but he had the cutest Irish accent!!! "And Emily Chang from Ravenclaw."

"The Head prefects this year are Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy. Draco however is not here at the moment due to some urgent business he is attending to in Hogsmeade. He will however be back soon." He said eyes twinkling at Hermione who had stood up at the sound of her name.

"Now let the feast BEGIN!!" Dumbledore yelled out and suddenly the food appeared.

"Does he really have to make such a big deal out of every feast or dinner we have?" Max (Maksim) asked to no one in particular.

Everyone was hungry from the long train ride and the welcoming ceremony that they all dug into the delicious food that surrounded them. Hermione nibbled at some pumpkin pie during the entire feast. She was very hungry but could not make herself eat. Sighing she pushed her plate away and just sat there watching everyone else eat.

After dinner, the four 6th year prefects lead their own houses 's first years to their common rooms and informed them of their passwords. Hermione just stayed in the Great Hall, waiting for them to come back before the whole group could go to their new common room. A small while later, the 5 of them were gathered and followed Professor McGonagall upstairs to level 4, where the prefects common room was. When they reached they reached a portrait of 3 girls and 3 guys together in a clearing in a forest. They were surrounded by many animals and the teachers of Hogwarts. There was even Sirius Black, which surprised Hermione. The people in the picture were obviously them. They looked exactly the same only they were dressed in more formal clothing.

The Hermione in the painting asked what the password was.

"Password?? Hermione asked, "we haven't got one yet though." She explained, feeling a bit weird talking to her self.

"Why a gentleman that passed here just a few minutes ago has submitted one." explained Ginny in the portrait.

"I'll handle this one" McGonagall said. "Slythertastic" she said to the portrait. Gleaming the people in the picture opened themselves revealing a door that stood 3 metres high. Hermioen reached out and opened the door revealing a large room, almost as large as the Griffindor common room. There were 3 sets of stairs leading up to 2 doors each. Bookcases line the beautifully stone carved walls. Hermione started to salivate at all the books. There were large couches set around a dark brown mahogany coffee table. There was a marble fireplace in front of the couches providing a warmth that would warm them up in the coldest nights at Hogwarts.

The ceiling was covered in pictures of a Badger with red lines on its fur, a long silver snake with streaks of green, a lion wearing a cloak of maroon and an eagle with blue and silver wings. Similar pictures were on their sofas but with the first letter of each Prefect on it in beautiful Gold lettering.

"Now, Miss Weasly and Miss Chang, you will be in the rooms leading up the first set of staircase from us. There are house pictures for you to identify. You will be sharing a bathroom. Mr Manko and McQuoid, you will bunking at the two rooms at the top of the third set of stair cases. And Miss Granger and Mr Malfoy the rooms up the middle staircase will be yours. You two will be sharing a bathroom. I hope that is not an inconvenience you."

"ahh..oh no professor, it will be fine" Hermione was able to say after she stopped staring at her surroundings.

"There are doors leading to your original house common rooms from the paintings of your house founder in this common room. I hope that you enjoy your stay in your common room. I will be leaving you now." And with that Professor McGonagall left the room.

"I see you are impressed with my idea of the common room" came a voice from a sofa that was facing away from the prefects.

Draco got up and walked over to the still stunned group.

"This was your idea?" Emily asked.

"Well who else would have such a great idea?" came the egotistical reply.

Everyone walked over to the couches and flopped down on them. Small conversations began and soon, everyone was talking about Quidditch, clothes and makeup or anything else really.

"Draco, where were you?" Hermione asked.

"I didn't realize that you cared." he replied.

"Well its just that, if anything were to happen..I'd have to do all the head prefects jobs myself!!! She retorted. And I have my O.W.L.S this year and I am going to need my studying time!!

"Ohh, and here I was thinking that you had feelings for me. Well I'm going to bed now" he said and then got up and left. Smirking as he thought of the surprise that he had in store for Hermione. Before walking into his bedroom he turned to look at Hermione reading a book, angry that he still hadn't answered her questions.
