Disclaimers: The characters you are familiar with belongs to the talented JK Rowling. The unfamiliar characters or stuffs belongs to me.



Hogwarts Express,

"Hey Harry, we're going to the prefect carriage. Meet you later," said Hermione, tagging along the Ravenclaw's prefect, Padma Patil.

Harry waved weakly at Ron, Hermione and Ginny,(who was just made prefect last year.) who were off to the prefect carriage. Luna Lovegood pulled Harry's arm and said,

"Come on Harry, it's not that they're not coming back."

As usual, every compartment was full. They found a compartment with Neville and a Slytherin boy in it. It was really peculiar to share a compartment with a Slytherin, but the raven haired boy was not much of a bother. Harry sat down beside Neville and played exploding snap with him. Meanwhile, Luna was busy reading The Quibbler upside down, while the Slytherin boy was gazing out the window silently.



Prefect Carriage,

Hermione, Ron and Ginny arrived at the prefect compartment and found Draco Malfoy (Hermione's heart was thumping loudly smirking at them. Across the large compartment were the old prefects, joined by the new batch.

Draco Malfoy rised from his seat and announced to the prefects,

"I'm the newly appointed Head Boy, and will be joined by the Head Girl, which is" Draco looked around for the unknown Head Girl.

Hermione raised up her hand.

Draco pretended to look disgusted by that, and continued,

"Which is Hermione Granger. New prefects required to guide the First- years back to your House's dormitories. The older prefects are required to make night rounding. Here," handing papers to the prefects, "are the timetable of the rounding. Each of you are required to do your job well, if not, we," Draco looked at Hermione, "will report you to your Head of House, understood?" Draco asked the prefects.

Most of them nodded, some replied "yes," weakly.

"Dismiss," Draco added, "except, for the Head Girl."

Draco waited until all the prefects went out; he closed and locked the door.

"You didn't tell me you're the Head Girl," said Draco.

"You didn't tell me you're the Head Boy," Hermione answered quickly.

Draco smiled charmingly at the angel infront of him. He traced her cheek with his hand, rested his fingers on Hermione's chin and gently lifting up her chin, gazing deeply into her hazel eyes. Draco put his other hand on her waist, pulling her body closer to his.

Hermione felt like she was under a spell. She gazed into his beautiful clear grey eyes, she was under his control. Her body felt weak, she was leaning onto him for support.

Draco pulled Hermione closer to him. He looked at her luscious lips, they looked like two sakura petals (cough, I love sakura!!). He then rested his lips onto hers.

Hermione was half shocked and excited. His lips was warm, she did not want to let go. She let out "Hmmm..", a sign of satisfaction. They parted lips, the aftermath of the kiss was still lingering. She smiled at Draco, and whispered,

"I've got to be going. They'll ask to many questions."

Draco, still smiling, waved at Hermione. When she opened the compartment door, Draco put his best sneer and tagged along Hermione.



"What took you so long?" Ron yelled at Hermione as she entered the compartment.

Hermione, her mind still dazed by just now's event, were pulled back to Earth by Ron's yelling.

"We were just discussing about the rounding. Why'd you have to yell?" Hermione spat furiously.

Ginny grinned, "Ohh...Ickle Ronnie is worried about 'Mione. Now, they're fighting like Husband and Wife,"

Harry, Neville and Luna laughed at Ginny's remark. The Slytherin boy just stared at them for awhile and returned to his window-gazing activity.

"Oh shut up!" Hermione spat. Ron's face was redder than a tomato.

Hermione was looking around the compartment for Crookshanks when she saw the Slytherin boy,

"You're Blaise Zabini, aren't you?" Hermione asked.

The Slytherin boy quickly looked at Hermione, and replied,

"Yeah."

Hermione stared into his amethyst eyes, and shivered slightly. Gazing into those amethyst eyes was like staring into nothingness.

The food trolley came, Harry bought lots of stuffs for the people in his compartment, including Blaise. They ate cauldron cakes, and all those sweets and chocolates. Blaise ate quietly, still staring at Hermione.

They were exchanging cards when the compartment door slid open, and Draco Malfoy was standing infront of the door. Surprisingly, he was alone. He gave a quick look at Hermione and and called out for Blaise. Blaise went out, after he bowed a little, showing how thankful he was.

Everyone in the compartment stared at each other, mouths opened.

Nevilled asked, "D-did h-he j-just b-bowed?"

Luna, with her permanent surprised looks, looked genuinely surprised now. She closed her mouth and answered, "I think so."

Harry rubbed his eyes, checked his glasses, making sure what he saw was true.

They were all quiet until Ron spoke up, "Is he truly a Slytherin?"
