"Ah, glad you two could join us." Dumbledore said smiling kindly, "Please, have a seat". Draco immediately sauntered over to the two-seater couch to the left of Dumbledore. Hermione, wanting to stay as far away from Draco as possible, started to Dumbledore's right. She, however, was dismayed to find that the couch on the right was currently occupied. Professor McGonagall was perched at one end, and at the other was Professor Snap. Who somehow managed to enter the compartment without her knowledge.
Oh, I can't believe this! Her mind screamed. Gritting her teeth she pivoted on her right foot and stalked back towards the smirking Slytherin. Seating herself as far away from him as possible she turned her attention back to Professor Dumbledore, whose eyes were twinkling as if from some hidden joke.
"This will only take a few minutes, Dumbledore said kindly. "We have a few responsibilities we need to go over before we arrive at Hogwarts. I have asked the head's of each of your houses to be present at this meeting so that they would be aware of what is going on. Let me first begin by congratulating the both of you. Becoming head girl and head boy is a most commendable task, and since you are such good students we have decided to give you a complete dorm to yourselves.
Hermione's and Draco's mouths dropped open in complete shock and stared at Dumbledore as if he were mad. "But Professor, aren't co-ed dorms against student policy, in Hogwarts a History..." Hermione started but was cut off by Dumbledore. "I'm quite aware of what they say Miss Granger, but I trust the two of you and hope that it will help the two of you to become better friends, or at least learn to tolerate each other. The students will look up the two of you, so you must be good examples and try to improve our inter-house relationships. Especially between Gryffindor and Slytherin." "Professor Dumbledore, I don't think that my parents would approve of this!" Draco said protesting loudly. "Headmaster I must agree with Mr. Malfoy," chimed in Snape. "I agree, I don't believe this is a good idea, headmaster I..." began Mcgonagall. "That's quite enough", Dumbeldore said, interrupting McGonagall. "These two will share a dormitory, and that is final. I believe that that is all we have to discuss until our next meeting which will be held regularly on Thursdays."
Slowly getting up from his chair Dumbledore existed the compartment with a quite good bye and was shortly followed by Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall. Hermione and Draco eyed each other with disdain.
"My parents won't stand for me sharing a dorm with a mudblood you know."
"Good! The sooner you're gone the better, ferret boy. Go run to your death eater papa and have him fix everything."
The next thing she knew Draco had leaned over the top of her with his face inches from her own.
"That's right, he got released from Azkaban because he is such a prominent figure," Draco said. Hermione could feel his warm breath on her face. It smelled like peppermint. He looked beautiful with his gray eyes sparkling with malice and his platinum hair hanging about his face. His body was pressed against hers and she could feel the hard muscles underneath his shirt. She was drawn to him, yet terrified of him at the same time. But she wouldn't let him know how flustered she was, so she did the only thing she could think of doing. She insulted him.
"Just because he's prominent, doesn't mean he's a respectable man." Draco grabbed her by the shirt and slammed her against the couch. Causing a gasp of pain and shock to emerge from her.
"Don't you dare talk about my father like that you low life mudblood," hissed Draco. Oh my gosh, he's going to kill me! Think Hermione think!
"Let go of me Malfoy, I'm warning you."
"Oh, your warning me, and what are you going to do Mudblood, scream for Potter and Weasly to help you." That was it, she had had it. Hermione was sick of being harassed by this arrogant idiot. With one swift motion she reached into her pocket, grabbed her wand, and before Draco had time to react yelled," Stuperfy!" Hermione instantly felt Draco's full weight on her; it took all of her strength to push him off of her. After that she smoothed out her robes and headed back to her previous compartment.
The rest of the journey was uneventful, Harry and Ron had fallen asleep in her absence so she amused herself for a moment by writing down all the hex's she could remember. She was, after all, going to be spending an entire year with Draco Malfoy, and if what happened in the head meeting was any hint at what the upcoming year was going to be like, well then she was in for a heck of a long one.
About an hour later the trio exited the train, grabbed their luggage and headed up to the school. Well Hermione technically didn't carry her own luggage; Harry and Ron took hers up. Getting a makeover does have its good points she chuckled silently to herself. After they had entered through the front door Professor McGonagall found Hermione and showed her to her new dormitory. It was still on the seventh floor, but instead of taking a right and going to the Gryfindor dormitory they took a left and went up a few flight of stairs. When they finally reached the top there was a picture of two scholars working side by side and scrawling things down on a piece of parchment. The women in the picture raised her head to acknowledge them, but the man just kept on writing.
"Password." The woman asked.
"Unity", replied Miss McGonagall. The woman gave a nod of her head and the portrait swung open. Hermione let out a gasp as they steeped into the room. It was decorated in gold, red, silver, and green. There were books going up on the right side off the wall from floor to ceiling. On the other side of the room there was a fireplace and two sofa's one red, the other green. There were also two desks, on with the nametag of Hermione Granger, the other, Draco Malfoy. Someone pinch me, she thought, I must be dreaming. It got better then that though, right in front of her was a staircase, after it reached the top it branched out in two directions.
"Well, I'll leave you to explore your new surroundings," said Miss McGonagall. Then with a pat on the back and a quick good night she left the room. After she left Hermione raced up the staircase and took a right. The room was decorated with a gold canopy that had moons and stars on it; there was also another bookcase against the wall, a walk in closet, a vanity, and a dresser. All of her things had already been brought to her room and were lying on her bed. With a squeal of excitement she scurried out of the room to continue her exploration.
A few feet away from her room was a bathroom. Ugh! Don't tell me I have to share a bathroom with that slimy git. But before she could enter the bathroom she heard the swinging of the portrait opening and hesitantly turned around to find a very angry Draco Malfoy. Uh oh.
