Chapter 4
Draco stepped out of the train to see a bright sun shining down at him. It was a beautiful day as the students of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry crowded out of the train to get to a carriage or for the first years, to Hargrid.
"You will get it Granger" Draco muttered to himself as he slowly approached a carriage that had a sign that said "reserved for the head boy and head girl." "WHAT! Now I have to sit with her to the castle. Don't tell me I have to go everywhere with her!" Draco Shouted in his mind.
The thought with sitting with Hermione again after what she did to him in the train wasn't really good. So, he decided to forget about the head boy and head girl carriage and walk off to where he saw Crabbe and Goyle's carriage that they were in.
When he was about to walk to it a hand grabbed him by the shoulder. "Where do you think your going, Malfoy?" questioned Hermione as she turned Draco around to look at her.
"Why do you care, Granger? It doesn't matter what carriage we take, it will still go to the castle and I think I don't like the idea of me and YOU in a same carriage" Draco stated as he pointed a finger at her.
"Like I like the idea of you and me as head boy and girl TOGETHER. Anyways, Professor McGonagall would like to meet us before the sorting ceremony to give us instructions. Didn't you read your letter at all? We have to take our carriage which takes us to her." Hermione explained as she was pointing her finger at their carriage.
"Alright, alright GRANGER! If we have to do it your way.......... But I am warning you Granger, if you do anything funny you will get it!" Draco said as he glared at her. "Oh I am very scared Malfoy" Hermione said, sarcastically as she headed for their carriage.
"I am warning you!" Draco exclaimed following behind her. "Oh I'll try not to do anything funny" Hermione said as she rolled her eyes.
Throughout the ride to Hogwarts, Hermione looked out the carriage with a sad expression on her face while Draco eyed her cautiously.
While the other carriages headed to the entrance hall their carriage changed directions heading to another entrance. Once they arrived at their destination, Hermione and Draco got of their carriage with their things heading into the door into another hall.
Then professor McGonagall step out into the hall. "Just place your things there, someone will get it up for you and come with me" McGonagall ordered. They placed down their things and followed professor Mcgonagall into her office.
As they entered her office Professor McGonagall closed the door behind them and sat down onto her desk.
"First thing I would like to congratulate you both for being head boy and girl. Now, after the feast I want you two to look around the corridors for anything suspicious as you know that You Know Who is back and probably going to come here." Professor Mcgonagall said with a worried face.
"Now if you see anything suspicious or anyone late out of bed you will report to me or another teacher at once. For now that is what all your duties going to be, checking the halls and corridors late at night. And also you will see for any miss behaving students." Professor Mcgonagall explained as she continue to stare at them.
"That problem will be up to you and how you will punish them. Now the ceremony is about to start so lets get going" Professor McGonagall ordered as she pushed them out the door to hurry them to the sorting hat ceremony.
Once they arrived to the great hall Draco left to his table while Hermione went to hers. Draco took a glance at Hermione at her table to see that Hermione was only talking to the two Weasleys, Ron and Ginny.
She seemed to ingnore Harry who was sitting beside Ron but Harry seemed to be quiet and angry. At the sight of this a smirk appeared onto Draco's face.
"I hope their friendship break up and poor little Potter will be ALL ALONE......." Draco thought as he started to laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at Draco? What is so funny?" Crabbe asked as he was looked at Draco with a curious face. "Nothing" Draco snapped back and then he looked up to see another Weasley where all the other teachers were.
It was Percy Weasley. "What is he doing here?" Draco asked Crabbe and Goyle as he pointed a finger at Percy Weasley. "Don't know....." they both said in unison. Draco sighed and muttered to himself "idiots."
"He can't be the defence against the dark arts teacher, can he? Dumbledore is sure desperate to have a defence against the dark arts teacher to pick Percy Weasley. I bet he has no experience at all with the dark arts." Draco said as he eyes shined, spitefully.
"Hmph... wasn't he suppose to be in the ministry. But I can't blame him to leave it since his father is now the Minister for magic" Draco said as he looked up at Percy.
Then the first years slowly came into the great hall to get sorted. Then as all the first years was in the great hall waiting to see what will happen to them the sorting hat began to sing.
I have warned you all That danger is just behind the wall. I have advised you all to prepare For the danger that your not aware. And I will tell you once more For it has come for war. We must join as one Which we haven't done. We must forget about the past And need to act fast We need to fix my awful mistake By coming together, for life's sake Mainly Gryffindor and Slyitherin For it is both houses that your in That I have split you two Which was my fault to do Making you as awful foes Causing everyone woes Together you will be strong That will defeat the wrong From my mistake I will carefully make What house you will be in Where your magical life will begin Will it be Slytherin Where they do anything to win Or in Gryffindor Where they are not afraid to explore Or in Ravenclaw Where their intelligence is not a flaw Or in Hufflepuff Where they are tough So where do you belong? I will now end this song For I will sort you, if we're still alive Now that the danger is soon to arrive.
"CRACK! BOOM!" Everyone jumped from their seats as the heard the loud thunder as everyone looked up the see-through ceiling.
The beautiful day had disappeared and in its place was a huge storm. Dark clouds became to shift in and lightning lit the sky. It was raining hard now as the strong wind could be heard from behind the thunder. Then the castle shook a bit from the powerful wind of the storm.
Everyone became silent wondering why there was a strange storm and what danger was going to come to Hogwarts? "What the bloody hell is happening" Draco thought as he began to panic a bit. Then the first years were slowly going up to get sorted.
After the sorting ceremony Dumbledore stood up from the teachers table. "Welcome to another year of Hogwarts" Dumbledore exclaimed as he raised up his arms.
"Well we have a bit of a storm but not to worry, we will still have the feast. Now before we begin the feast I would like to announce something. I am happy to find another defence against the dark arts teacher. Some of you might know him from the last time he was here in Hogwarts as a student. Percy Weasley" Dumbledore announced as he looked at Percy.
Percy stood up and wave as there was a small applause. Draco looked over at the Gryffindor table to see that Ron, Hermione and Harry were very shock at this news.
Then the applause faded and so Percy sat back down and Dumbledore continued, "Now without further a do, let the feast begin." Plates of delicious foods appeared on the house tables including the staff table and everyone started to eat.
After the feast, Dumbledore stood up once more snapped his fingers and the plates were gone. "I would advise now that everyone should head to bed while the prefects show the first years around the school. Also Professor McGonagall would like to see the head boy and girl in her office" Dumbledore said and everyone left out of the great hall.
"What does she want now thought Draco as he headed to Professor McGonagall's office. On the way he spotted Hermione and he went forward to her.
"Well Granger, can you believe that Percy Weasley is our defence against the dark arts teacher. Percy seems to stupid to know any dark arts. I do give him credit that he actually took a jinxed job. Sooner or later he will either be dead, sacked, or even work for You Know Who. Funny I think...." Draco said.
"Oh shut up Malfoy. Do you ever close that trap of yours" Hermione said in a annoyed voice. "What did you say you filthy little mud....." Draco began to say but was stopped because they had arrived in Professsor McGonagall's office.
"What were you going to say Draco" whispered Hermione as she giggled. Draco glared at her with his eyes flickering cruelly.
"Well you two heard the sorting hat. It always sings something different if there is something wrong. He did mention that danger is coming so I want you two to check the corridors late at night to see if anything suspiciously is happening. Like I have told you before, report to a teacher at once if you do see something strange." Professor McGonagall began as she furrow her eyebrows.
"Now I advise for the two of you to look in the school together at night. The prefects will be watching the corridors now so you don't have to start. Your regular duty times will be at 10 o'clock to 12 midnight daily. After that you will then be expected to go sleep back in your own dormitories" Professor Mcgonagall ordered with a stern face on.
"Some teachers will also be roaming the halls at that time as well. Now, you two are head boy and girl, I still expect you two to be able to do your homework and as well as your duties. Now go to your dormitories to unpack and plan a meeting place. Off you go now." Professor McGonagall explained and with that she shooed them out of her office.
"Well Granger you heard her, where are we going to meet tonight?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow at Hermione. "I think we should meet at the entrace hall then" replied Hermione and she took off the opposite direction to the Gryffindor common room.
While Hermione was walking off Draco heard her muttering to herself "I can't believe I have to be with him every night." Draco smirked and continued to walk to the Slytherin common room. Once he got to the stone wall he said "Harum-Scarum."
The Stone wall split in two opening to a dungeon common room. The fireplace was roaring as Slytherins were excitedly talking about the new Hogwarts school year and quid ditch. He walked off up to his dormitory not taking a glance at the other Slytherins.
While he was unpacking, he saw his nimbus 2001 broom. It was so shiny from polishing and it still look as new as ever. Then anger slowly rose in Draco as he thought of Harry's firebolt. Draco envied Potter for that and always wanted to get one.
But they were too much to spend on one since he already a good enough broom, he didn't bother. He just knew that he will finally beat Harry in the Quidditch match since he was training through out the summer. "I'll beat you Potter if it's the last thing I DO!" Draco murmured to himself with his hands clutching his broom.
After a bit of unpacking he noticed that it dark outside as he checked the window beside him. He checked the alarm clock that he placed on his night table and noticed that it was 5 minutes to 10 o'clock at night.
He stood up from unpacking, dusted himself off and left the dormitory. He then heard noises of the Slytherin prefects coming in from their duties as he walked down the steps to the common room.
"Draco..... Are you still mad at me? That stupid Granger gave me detention! Can you believe that! Just because I stole her badge. I was only playing around. Draco you have to get back at her for me?" Pansy Parkinson whined as she gave a big sad frown at him.
"Stupid girl you deserved that detention because of your ANNOYANCE!" Draco thought. Draco gave her look of annoyance and decided to change the subject. "Did anything happen during your duties?" Draco asked.
"Ummmm.... No nothing happen just lots of thunder and lightning outside. I think a big storm is going come.... The weather seems so dark and cold......But Draco......." Pansy said as she was stopped in mid sentence by Draco's wave of his hand to make her stop. He then nodded and left the common room.
Ever since the Yule ball when Draco escorted her, she was always stuck to him like a bug everywhere he went. Sometimes he would be able to get away from her but she still seemed to know where he was. Of course this annoyed Draco a lot and so he told to stop following him. But Pansy thought that they were going out as a couple since Draco asked her to the Yule ball.
And Pansy ran off crying because she thought that Draco was breaking up with her. They weren't a couple to begin with and Draco was furious with Pansy once he found out that she told everyone that she was going out with him when it wasn't true. That is why ever time he sees Pansy, he gets annoyed with her because of the last incident.
Draco wave the memory out of his head as he thought of his head boy duties instead. He finally got to the entrance hall where he would be meeting Hermione. But she wasn't there yet so he decided to wait for her since Professor McGonagall did advise them to go together.
But he actually didn't want to check the school by himself if You-Know-Who is going to roam in it. Draco tapped his feet impatiently as he waited for Hermione. Then he finally saw Hermione jogging to the entrance hall.
"What took you so long, Granger!? Your 5 minutes late! I should've known you would be late, slacking off on your duties aren't you, Granger?" Draco said as he raised an eyebrow at her.
"Oh shut up Malfoy! You know you didn't have to wait for me, you could've just left to your duties if you couldn't wait for 5 MINUTES!" Hermione said as she was huffing from jogging to the entrance hall.
"Granger, Granger, I course I would wait for you besides Professor McGonagall told us to go together for our duties. Weren't you listening Granger. Slacking off orders again aren't you Granger?" Drawled Draco as he gave a smirk at her.
"She ADVISED us to go together. That means....." Hermione began to say as she was rudely interrupted. "Of course I know what that means but she wouldn't like to see one of us hurt does she? And what is wrong with you Granger. You acting more bossy and angry than usual. Is it your time of the month? A bit cranky you are, aren't you Granger?" Draco said and he laughed.
"Oh shut up Malfoy! It is NOT my time of the month and I am just angry at a certain someone OK! Now get a move on! We better start checking this floor" Hermione ordered as she began to walk ahead of Draco.
"Whatever you say Granger but I will not shut up. So who is this certain someone that your angry with, Granger? I know its not me of course, why would you get angry at me...." Draco said as he heard Hermione mumble to herself, "No you don't anger me Malfoy you just ANNOY me, that's all." "Is it Potter, Granger?" Draco ask smirking at her.
No one said anything for the next few minutes as Hermione's face turned red her face frowning. "I guess that's a yes, Granger?" Draco said still having his smirk on his face. As if Hermione exploded like a volcano, words poured out of her mouth as she began to vent.
"Just because your head boy he doesn't have to think that I am happy to be with you and all. He is just being stupid and jealous. I actually wanted him to be head boy instead of you but no...... he won't listen to me" Hermione said as she continue to vent not realizing who she was talking too.
"He would just plainly ignore me and say things like, I like Draco Malfoy now because his HEAD BOY! I am still friends with them, I just have to hang around with YOU more often. Doesn't mean I like YOU. He is just acting childish just like in the train." Hermione continue to say as she remembered what happen with Harry in the train.
"I went to go see what was wrong with him and he goes all stupid saying, Why don't you go with your new friend MALFOY! And then he goes off saying that he is not head boy and you are. Argghh..... And we had another fight in the common room about it again. He is just........." Hermione said outraged until she finally realised that she was venting on her worst enemy, Draco Malfoy.
She closed her mouth before she could say anymore. Draco began to give a big smirk at her and said "Well, well Granger, I could see you feel much better now that you told ME. So Potter boy is jealous of me isn't he? Well he SHOULD BE! For once I am better than HIM!" Draco said as he seem to be in his own world.
Than he too also realised that he was saying his true feelings about Harry to his sworn enemies friend, Hermione Granger. He also too closed his mouth and didn't say anything more. Silence overcame them as they walked down the corridors.
Then Draco broke the silence, "well Granger, I could see that was a interesting conversation then. Why not continue it...... so your angry at Potter boy? Haha I could see why...? He is very arrogant isn't he? Hahaha it sounds like your friendship with Potter is going for a steep downfall. But that's too bad, Granger. You know, I think you would actually be better off without him....." Draco said as he continue to criticize Harry.
Draco should've of stopped then because as he kept on talking Hermione's anger began to rise. "How dare you insult my friend like that!" Hermione shouted as she smacked him across the face.
"I was only angry with him it doesn't mean I hate him. Arghhhh Malfoy you are unbelievable and I will not tolerate with your insults. I am leaving." Hermione shouted at Malfoy and with that she turned around and walked the opposite way.
"What did I say? Granger, I knew she would do something funny I should've known to be more cautious around her. Stupid mudblood" Draco muttered to himself as he rubbed his cheak where a imprint of Hermiones hand was marked red across it. He then walked off to do his duties when he heard someone scream. "HELP!"

And we had another fight in the common room about it again. He is just........." Hermione said outraged until she finally realised that she was venting on her worst enemy, Draco Malfoy.
She closed her mouth before she could say anymore. Draco began to give a big smirk at her and said "Well, well Granger, I could see you feel much better now that you told ME. So Potter boy is jealous of me isn't he? Well he SHOULD BE! For once I am better than HIM!" Draco said as he seem to be in his own world.
Than he too also realised that he was saying his true feelings about Harry to his sworn enemies friend, Hermione Granger. He also too closed his mouth and didn't say anything more. Silence overcame them as they walked down the corridors.
Then Draco broke the silence, "well Granger, I could see that was a interesting conversation then. Why not continue it...... so your angry at Potter boy? Haha I could see why...? He is very arrogant isn't he? Hahaha it sounds like your friendship with Potter is going for a steep downfall. But that's too bad, Granger. You know, I think you would actually be better off without him....." Draco said as he continue to criticize Harry.
Draco should've of stopped then because as he kept on talking Hermione's anger began to rise. "How dare you insult my friend like that!" Hermione shouted as she smacked him across the face.
"I was only angry with him it doesn't mean I hate him. Arghhhh Malfoy you are unbelievable and I will not tolerate with your insults. I am leaving." Hermione shouted at Malfoy and with that she turned around and walked the opposite way.
"What did I say? Granger, I knew she would do something funny I should've known to be more cautious around her. Stupid mudblood" Draco muttered to himself as he rubbed his cheak where a imprint of Hermiones hand was marked red across it. He then walked off to do his duties when he heard someone scream. "HELP!"
