The New Prophecy

Chapter 2: Tattoos, Realizations, but still enemies

Dumbledore led the Heads to their dorm in silence. He was as disappointed to have Hermione in Slytherin as many of the students. He sighed and showed them the portrait to their common room. It was behind a picture of a loin and a snake. Hermione grimaced at the lion.

"The password is New Beginning (A/N: good song by Trapt!)." After saying this, Dumbledore left, looking very sullen.

"New Beginning," Hermione said. She went into the common room and Draco followed. Neither student thought that there could be such an elegant room in the dreary castle. They were wrong.

Their common room had half wood walls (the bottom half) and the top half had swirling Slytherin colors, the couches were green with silver blankets and pillows, a huge stone fireplace, a mini library, two desks, a mini fridge (those are so cool. There should be one in every room across America!), and an entertainment center. The carpet was green with the Slytherin crest in silver and their names in silver. There were two sets of stairs, one leading to Hermione's room, the other leading to Draco's room. The bathroom was in between the stairs on the first floor.

After checking out their common room, Hermione turned to check out the person she would be sharing it with for the rest of the year. Draco's hair was no longer gelled back, but hung freely in his face. He was wearing a tight green shirt that showed off his finely tuned body, baggy black jeans, a silver, ball necklace, and some wrist bands. He even had a nice tan. All in all, he was hot.

'If he weren't such a bastard, I'd do him,' Hermione thought, 'What?!Where'd that come from?! Bloody hell!!'

Draco felt someone's eyes on him, so he turned to look at their owner. When he saw Hermione their eyes locked. They had a silent battle with their eyes. A sunny day fighting back a storm. Finally she broke away.

"I'm gonna look at my room," she muttered before she went up the stairs. Draco soon followed suit and went to his room.



Hermione's room was a blank canvas. She charmed her walls to look like a tropical beach, going through all the seasons, feeling and smelling the breeze, etc. It moved too. She changed her bed into a hammock, tied between two palm trees. She had Tiki torches for lights, and she put in a little hut where she could keep her clothes and her stereo. She decorated with a few surfboards and whatnot. In one of the trees she put a nest for her Peregrine Falcon, Oleaje. With her room complete, sand and all, she went into the bathroom to change.

Meanwhile, in Draco's room, he was decorating as well. He charmed his walls to look like an old Japanese temple in the mountains. His bed became a futon and he had lanterns for light. He decorated with some dragon statues and some samurai statues. He even put in a meditation area. A relaxing room. Being fully satisfied with his room, Draco changed into some green silk boxers and went downstairs to read.

After Hermione took a shower and changed into some black shorts and a green spaghetti-strap shirt, she went downstairs to watch t.v. She wanted to watch one of her favorite shows, Will and Grace.

When she got downstairs she saw Draco. She gave a sigh of annoyance.

'Man, this is gonna be a long year with him bein' everywhere,' she thought.

At her sigh, Draco looked up. He almost dropped his book. Never before had he seen anyone so beautiful.

'If only she weren't such a bitch and know-it-all, I'd do her. What?! Where'd that come from?!' he thought.

Hermione, getting tired of all the arguing going on in her head, said, "You're looking hot tonight, Malfoy."

With that she went to watch t.v. She barley heard Draco's "You too". She smiled and went to watch Will and Grace. (A/N: I love that show!!). When she turned around, Draco saw something on her lower back. It was a tattoo.

'Woah,' he thought, 'never thought I'd see the day when miss know-it-all got a tat.'Upon closer examination he saw that it was a black tiger with white stripes, two swords corssed in the background like an "x", and the Slytherin crest behind it all. It was the Riddle family crest. Each member had their animagus form in the middle. Draco knew this.

"So you're really her?" he asked.

She turned towards him and gave him a look that said, "oh sure now you believe me. As if my new look, attitude, and general Slytherinness wasn't obvious enough for you"

"Yeah," she stated nonchalantly.

"I'm goin to bed, this is too much." And with that, he was gone. After a few hours of t.v., Hermione, too, went to bed.



The next morning Draco walked out of his room and into what he thought was the bathroom. When he heard a girl's scream, he instantly woke up. Lo and behold, there was Hermione clad in her underwear a black bra. Needless to say, he was a happy man until she kicked him out.

After he got dressed, he waited downstairs for Hermione. He wanted to apologize because this girl had more power over his father than he did. Also, as Heads, they were expected to maintain a good image of the school.

When she finally came down he noticed the change in her uniform. The skirt was shorter, the shirt and vest were tighter, she wore her robes open, and she added boots. While he studied her, she studied him. His pants were nice and baggy, the shirt and vest molded to his fine body, and too had added boots. Finally the silence was broken.

"Uh... s-sorry about that little incident back there," he finally stated.

"Oh. Yeah. That. It happens," she replied off-handedly.

They finally went down to the Great Hall for some breakfast. Just before they went through the doors, Draco couldn't help himself. He leaned over and kissed Hermione. At first she resisted, then she gave in. But after a while they remembered who the were snogging and broke apart instantaneously. After a few minutes of awkward silence, Draco spoke:

"Look Riddle," he said, "man, does that sound weird... that didn't change anything. We're still enemies."

"Yeah," she agreed, "we're still enemies... still enemies."

With that they went into the Great Hall and ate some breakfast. Little did they know, their episode had been seen by two pairs of eyes...
