Chapter 5 – Say the magic word

Hermione's POV

I glanced up from my book, and looked round the compartment, and noticed an envelope on the seat. I put my book down to the side, and went over and picked it up.

'To the attention of the Head Boy and Head Girl' it said on the front. Well, Malfoy's not here, he walked off. I might as well open it without him.

To Mr Malfoy and Miss Granger (it said)

As part of your duties you are required to give a briefing to the prefects, and to tell them what their duties are on the train, as I'm sure you remember previous Head Boy's and Head Girls doing in previous years.

As soon as you enter the castle, may I ask you to make your way to my office, where, I will give you a few more details about your new positions. The password to my office is 'Honeydukes.'

Yours sincerely

Albus Dumbledore

I put the letter back into the envelope. I'll tell Malfoy about it when he gets back, although-

'I know what you're thinking. Go on, do it' the voice said.

Alright then. For once, I agree with you.

I slid the envelope into my pocket, just as there was a small knock at the door to the compartment.

"Come in" I said.

I watched as about half a dozen prefects came into the compartment, and took the seats surrounding me. I noticed Ron come in, and behind him was Ginny. She'd been elected as a prefect the year before. They tried to get a seat next to me but the nearest they could get was next to the window.

"So you're the new Head Girl then?" asked the newly elected Slytherin prefect as he sat in the seat opposite me, sounding as if I wasn't good enough to be Head Girl. "Where's the Head Boy then? I heard he was a Slytherin."

I crossed my arms across my chest.

"The Head Boy was here a minute ago, but needed to, err, go check something with the driver. He should be back-"

"Right now." I looked up at the doorway, and yet again, leaning against the frame was Malfoy.

"Oh Draco, you're the New Head Boy?" asked the Slytherin boy.

"No, I'm an impostor who stole the Head Boy's badge and am going to have a secret love affair with the Head Girl" he said casually, as he went and sat down, making a Hufflepuff girl get up and stand by the door. I felt myself go slightly red in the cheeks.

"Oh right, well anyway, I'm glad it's you mate, and not that Weasel, god, how I would have hated to take orders from him-"

"Holloway" Malfoy interrupted. "You are not the Head Boy, and you have not been given permission to speak, so shut up." Wow, I never knew he could be so stern with a fellow Slytherin.

The Slytherin Boy just nodded and looked out the window.

Malfoy glanced over at me, with a look in his eyes that said 'so who's going to speak first?' I nodded to say that I would.

"Well, welcome prefects, and congratulations on being elected as prefects. Now I'm sure as you know, you have been elected as you show great potential in giving out orders, and making sure that others follow them..."

Draco's POV

I looked over at her. Who's going to speak first? She then nodded as if to say her, so I sat back and put my arms behind my head and just let her do the talking. God it was easy being Head boy.

"Although you don't have to follow them yourself" I said. Why was she looking at me like that? It's true, I remember plenty of times when she didn't stick to the rules.

"Yes" she continued. "Well, it's best that you obviously do try to stick by the rules" she said, glancing sideways at me giving me quite an evil glare. "Prefects are allowed to dock points off of other students, but only, however, when there is another prefect present with you, otherwise rivalries between houses and students can get out of hand, and some prefects" she said, glancing sideways at me again. God, why does she keep doing that? She continued: "Some prefects in the past have been known to dock points off for no other reason than 'you're in Gryffindor' or 'your shoelace is undone'" Oh, that's why. "And so, if you do dock points for a petty reason such as those I've just given you, neither of us will be happy, and you will be reported at once to your Head of Houses, and the Headmaster."

You know, I never did realise before how much she uses long words that complicate her sentences. In easy language, what she just said could translate as 'only take points of if you need to, otherwise we'll kill you'. But oh well, I like her way better, the way she says it is quite, I dunno, sexy.

'Sexy, ay?'

Yes, sexy dammit.

I decided that it was my turn to speak.

"So yeah, as Granger said, stick to the rules, or else, we'll kill you." She glanced at me again, god, I know I'm irresistible, but do you have to look at me every time I speak? "Ok, fine, we won't kill you" I added. She nodded in approval of what I said. "But Filch will."

A few people laughed, ha, if only they knew that I actually meant it...

Granger continued speaking: "Well, as prefects, your duties begin now, on the train. You are to patrol up and down the train, making sure that there are no troublemakers. If there are, feel free to threaten them with docking points, however don't actually do it, as you are not permitted to, not whilst you're still on the train"

She carried on talking, giving out instructions, and I was starting to get bored, so I began looking around at the prefects. No one interesting really, so I looked back at Granger, when I saw-

"Granger" I interrupted. "Why have you got that envelope in your pocket?" I asked her. That's the envelope that I saw in here before, but I didn't open because she wasn't here.

"What envelope, Malfoy?" she asked. Oh please, maybe the one that's sticking out of your pocket?

"That one, there!" I said, pointing to it. "The one that was in here before. I didn't read it because you weren't here, but obviously you've read it. What did it say?" I asked.

I'd almost forgotten that the prefects were still in the compartment. Everyone except me and Hermione were silent, listening to us, waiting to see what would happen.

"It didn't say anything" she said, and turned back to the prefects, ready to tell them more. Oh no, you don't leave it there, you do not end an argument with Draco Malfoy like that.

"Granger! Tell me!"

I saw her smile slightly, quite a mischievous smile.

"Only if you say the magic word, Malfoy" she said. The magic word? No, I'm not going to stoop down to her level.

"No way, mudblood, why should I?" There were a few gasps from the other prefects. Why? Oh yeah, I'd called her a mudblood.

"Because, Malfoy, as Head Boy you should have some manners!" Why was she being so awkward?

"I'm a Malfoy, I don't need to beg you for anything, Granger"

"Well then, I guess you'll never know what was in the envelope then..."

"But it was addressed to me too! I should automatically have the right to see what's in it!"

She didn't say anything to that. Ha! It's because I'm right, isn't it?

"Nope" she said. She pushed the envelope down further into the pocket of her trousers. If there weren't so many people in here, I'd go down her trousers and get it myself.

'Go down her trousers?'

Well, yes, that too.

"All you have to do is say please, Malfoy. It's just one little word, it's not going to hurt you" she said simply. Not to going to hurt me? No, but it's going to embarrass me! I can't let anyone else see that!

"No?" she asked. "Fine then" she reached into her pocket and pulled out the envelope. What was she doing, was she going to give it to me?

"I guess you'll never read it" she said. What was she- Oh no, she was ripping it up!

"Granger, let me have it." I said. She stopped ripping it up thank god. Only the corner of it was ripped.

She didn't do anything, I knew what she was waiting for.

"Let me have it." I said again. I clenched my teeth. "Please."

I heard a small snigger from that Slytherin kid, Holloway. And saw grins on most of the prefects faces. Oh how she was going to pay for this.

A smile quickly spread across her face. Wow, she looked quite cute.

Before I knew it, the envelope was in my hands, and Granger had told the prefects to leave.

When all the prefects had gone, I got up and sat opposite Granger.

"All that, for a lousy password?" I asked.

"Well I got you to say please, didn't I?"

"Yes, but you also embarrassed me! In front of all those prefects, including Weasel and the Weaslette! They've all seen that I follow orders from you, from a-"

"Mudblood. Yes, I know, please spare the insults Malfoy." Was it that obvious that I was going to call her that?

Well, it doesn't matter. All that I know now is that I've got to make her pay for embarrassing me. No one does that to Draco Malfoy and gets away with it. No one.
