"Ohh, ok...well I think we better go or people might wonder what we have
been doing in here."

"You are right, I bet you Ron and Harry are out looking for me
wondering if you have hurt me." said Hermione with a giggle.

"I bet that they are too."

Draco bent down and gave Hermione another kiss, but this time he
was not as shy about it. And when he pulled away both were blushing,
because they were still a little shy around each other.

Chapter 5:A Hug and a Tear

Hermione made her way back to the back of the train. When she walked in the compartment she was not surprised to see it full. Inside sat Harry and Ron playing wizards chess, next to them sat Neville who was reading another Herbology book, Ginny reading a muggle magazine called Seventeen, and Luna who was once again reading a copy of the Quibbler upside-down.

Hermione had to step over piles of sweets, which littered the floor. When she first sat down no one said a word to her except for Neville who asked her how her summer was and was telling her about the book he was reading.

Finally Harry spoke, after Ron had taken his king and the game was done.

"So how was the meeting 'Mione?" Harry asked.

Hermione sighed and told them all about her being head of Gryffindor house and how she would have to spend one night a week with Malfoy. As she said all this Ron and Ginny's mouths dropped open lower and lower, while Harry just sat there looking annoyed; Neville looked the same as Ron and Ginny, but Luna truly acted the girl part and said "Oh! Aren't you lucky Hermione!! I have always thought that he was quiet handsome! Even though he can be rude sometimes!" Now all the boys were gaping at what Luna had just said as Hermione and Ginny just giggled. The she told them about the houses making peace.

"Well I 'spose it does make sense." said Ron who surprisingly was acting reasonable.

"Yea, you heard what the sorting hat said last year...but it won't be easy. We all know that Malfoy will try to stop the whole thing from happening." Added Harry.

"Actually...Draco is the Head of Slytherin house..." said Hermione

"WHAT!?!" yelled Harry, Ron, Neville, and Ginny at the same time (Luna just sat there politely and listened.).

"And, I had a meeting with him in private and it seems that he never hated anyone in Gryffindor. It was all just an act so that he could please his father." Finished Hermione

But this statement did not seem to make anyone feel better. Because now well...Harry and Ron were on their feet looking enraged. Ginny and Neville sat there looking stunned, and Luna sat there with a dreamy expression on her face.

"Its not that bad you guys! I already told all of you that he never really hated any of us!! He just acted that way because his father told him too!" exclaimed Hermione.

"But...'Mione...what if he is just saying that to get our trust and then he turns on us?!? What if he is a Death Eater?!? What if this is all part of Voldemort's (surprisingly no one flinched at the name) plan?!?!" yelled Harry back.

Just then the door slid open and in walked Draco.

"Actually...I am no Death Eater...if you don't trust me, which I am sure that you do not...then ask Dumbledore because right now my mother is in some hidden room in the school hiding from my father." said Draco in a calm voice.

Hermione just stared at him hoping he would say nothing of their little incedent, as did the rest of the people on the room.

Then out of no where, Harry, Ron, and Neville sprang on Malfoy, and they began rolling all over the compartment floor. This caused all of the girls to have to stand on the seats as not to get trampled. Then Hemione pulled out her wand and screamed...

"STUPEFY!!"

At once all the bodies stopped moving and with the help of Ginny and Luna the three girls untangled the for bodies, and lastly Hermione sat Draco out in the hall un-Stupefied him and told him that she would talk to him after breakfast the next day.

When she walked back in the room, all the boys were still fuming from the fight. But none of them said anthing.

"All three of you need to stop being such babies," started Hermione, "the only way that Gryffindor and Slytherin are every going to get along is if WE, meaning pretty much you Harry since everyone looks up to you, are nice to Malfoy!! God if you don't believe him then ask Dumbledore!! Hell I am the first time I see him! Now!! Please try and be nice to the people in Slytherin!" finished Hermione who was now almost in tears, not because Draco had gotten pounched on but because she was afraid that she would never get the houses to become friends.

Harry stood up walked over to her and gave her a big hug, "Ok, ok , ok I will try to get to know Draco, but please don't cry 'Mione the houses will become more civil, maybe not friends because that's asking a little much, but I'll try."

"Th..thanksss...Har...harry..." sniffled Hermione.

Then Ron, Ginny Neville, and Luna al did the same.

******************************************************** After about another hour in the compartment everyone was nack to their normal selves. All six of them were in their school robes and ready to get off the train as it pulled into Hogwarts Station (A/N: I just made that name up...hope you don't mind!).
