Chapter 5-It's you
If tomorrow never comes
I would want just one thing
I would tell it to the stars and the sun
And it's you-uo-oooou
The light changes when you're in the room
Oh it's you-uo-oooou
Oh it's you
If tomorrow never comes
I would want just one wish
To kiss you quite mouth
And trace the steps with my fingertips
And it's you-uo-oooou
The light changes when you're in the room
Oh it's you-uo-oooou
Oh it's you
Oh it's you-ou
Oh it's you-uo-oooou
Oh it's you
Oh oh it's you
Oh it's you-ou

"Draco, we're here." Hermione said ash she shook him awake. "You need to get up! I can't carry you to the hospital wing, you know."
"Mmm… five more minutes…" Draco whispered.
"No, get up right now!" Hermione yelled.
"Alright, Mya, I'm up!"
Hermione smiled to herself, 'He called me Mya; He must want to be friends too.' "Let's go."
"Thank you for bringing Mr. Malfoy to me, Ms. Granger. You may proceed to the feast." Madam Promfrey calmly told Hermione.
"But…"
"Hermione, what Mr. Malfoy needs most right now is rest. He cannot sleep very well if you're there asking questions. They will need to wait until he is ready to answer I can tell you right now; He is not ready to answer questions."
"I guess you're right. I'll see you later Madam Pomfrey"
"Good night child."
Hermione slipped in the Great Hall right after the feast had begun. 'Good' she thought 'Now, not as many people will notice that I'm late; they're too absorbed in their food. Although some will notice because I have to go all the way to the staff table. I better tell Professor Dumbledore what happened.'
She walked up to the headmaster "Professor Dumbledore, Draco-"
"I know, child, now please, sit and eat. Professor McGonagall will give you your instructions at the end of the feast."
With that, Hermione set of to the end of the staff table. She was half glad that she and Draco had to sit next to each other because there were two empty chairs; this way, she could pick the one farthest away from everyone else, this was good considering all the thinking she had to do. 'What happened to him… was it a medical condition… was it about the Dark Lord… naw, he's dead… it was probably something to do with his health… I hope it doesn't happen again…'
A tap on her shoulder interrupted Hermione's thoughts. She turned around too see professor McGonagall standing behind her.
"Hello Professor."
"Ms. Granger, I am to explain to you your Head Girl tasks, but I also am to explain Mr. Malfoy's tasks. Since they are similar and I don't want to explain the same thing twice, I would like you to follow me to the hospital wing."
Without a word, Hermione got up and followed her. On their way out the door, Harry and Ron stopped her.
"Why didn't you come back to our compartment?"
"Something happened. I can't talk now and I'm really tired, so I'll talk to you guys tomorrow, okay?"
"Yeah, bye."
'Someone's coming! I hope it's Mya, although I'd never admit it to anyone… well, maybe I would, I've changed, you know.'
Sure enough, three figures were coming toward him. 'Great, one face I wanna see and the other two I don't…' Draco thought.
"Ahh, Mr. Malfoy. I see you're awake. I've come to explain to Ms. Granger and yourself your responsibilities as Head Boy and Head Girl. As you know, both of you will be spending very much time together. You will share a common room. You will have separate bedrooms but will have to share one bathroom. The password is for you two to decide together.
I know you two have been rivals ever since you first laid eyes on each other, but you will have to learn to get along. To help in all this, you will have classes together and will be made partners with each other in all partner assignments. Once Poppy does her thing, Mr. Malfoy, you and Miss Granger may go check out your dorms. Don't forget to rest up for tomorrow is the first day of classes. Good night." And with that, Professor McGonagall spun on her heel and hurried out.
