Alrighty! Here comes Chapter 2. I'll try to make it longer but I can't promise anything.

Disclaimer I DO NOT own any of the characters from the books. J K does! I just own the plot.

Chapter 2 The Welcome Back Feast

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once the train had come to an abrupt stop, Hermione said bye to her friends and set off to the back of the train. On the way she couldn't help but think about the deal she had made with Draco. 'Why would I tell anyone anyway. He's so much taller than me. If I told he'd probably do something to me. Oh look, I'm here.'

She opened the door and walked inside. Since Hermione didn't want to sit next to Draco, she sat across from him. But this was a mistake. She looked into his gray-blue eyes and suddenly she couldn't remember anything. All she knew was that his eyes were beautiful. 'SHIT!!! I can NOT be thinking this.' she told herself.

Suddenly, McGonagall burst through the door causing their gaze to look away from each others eyes. "We will ride the train to a special stop only used for teachers and Heads. As you know, you will also be responsible for giving out the passwords to the prefects. Here is a list of all the prefects and passwords. It will be your job to round all the prefects up before the feast begins. You may use an empty classroom near the Great Hall. When the Feast s over I will show you to your dorms that consist of 1 common room, 1 bathroom, and each of your bedrooms. Now we are here. Please follow me." They nodded their heads and followed her to the castle.

"You get the Slytherin and Ravenclaw prefects; I'll get Gryffindor and Hufflepuff's, Malfoy."

"Alright, Granger. Meet in that classroom in five minutes."

"Okay."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The empty classroom

"Listen up! Congratulations on making prefects! Your responsibilities are to patrol the halls and help the first years. You are to check the halls and common rooms in pairs. You can take off and award points. Please be fair and treat all the houses, including your own, equally. Here are the lists of passwords. Once you have one you may go to the feast. Are there any questions? No. Okay. Would you like to say anything…Draco?"

"Yes…Hermione. Do your best to get along with each other to make a good impression on the first years. Dumbledore's orders. Once the feast is over, you will lead the first years to the common rooms and explain things to them along the way. Tell the people in your house your password for this year. Now let's go to the feast!"

The Great Hall

Hermione walked into the Great Hall and sat down with her friends. "Hey Lavender! How was your summer?"

"It was great! My parents took me to New York City in the States! It was so much fun and there were soooo many cute guys there!"

"That's great Lav. Where's Parvati?"

"I'm right here."

"Oh. Hi Parvati. How are you?"

"I'm great. Congrats on making head girl Hermione. Who's Head boy?"

"Draco Malfoy. Lucky me."

The girls talked all through dinner. Little did they know that there were eyes watching them, one girl in particular, from the Slytherin table.

Dinner ended and all the students went back to their common rooms with full stomachs. Draco and Hermione made their way up to Professor McGonagall. "Follow me and I will lead you to your dorms."

So how was it? Don't lie. I love you all!
