Thanks for your reviews guys! I seriously expected to get a whole bunch of reviews saying how crap my story was and saying that they hated me starting the story off with Fred and Hermione in the sack.

Oh yes and BIG THANX to my sister! She fully rocks! I read her my story as I go and she tells me what sucks and what doesn't. You kick arse Loz!

Personal notes to reviewers down the bottom:

Previously on Playing both sides:

"The only thing that concerns me about that is where will their loyalties lie? Will a relationship between the two of them cause 'mione to go to the dark or will it bring Malfoy to the light?"

The next morning was a relatively clear day, and Hermione was just getting out of bed when she heard Mrs. Weasley's shout from downstairs.

"Post's here, its your Hogwarts letters, Hermione there is a rather large package from school here for you"

With that Hermione ran downstairs, still in her large shirt. She had spent many a summer at the Burrow and was as comfortable in her pyjamas there as she was when she was at home. She took the letter off Mrs. Weasley and tore it open, a shriek escaped her as she read through the yellowed parchment.

"I Got Head Girl!!"

At the sound of her initial cry the remainder of the Weasleys and Harry of course came running down the stairs to see what the problem was. Upon hearing Hermione's good news Harry and Ron engulfed her in huge hugs while the twins exchanged a knowing look.

As Hermione was receiving her good news another student was also. However, the reactions of those present couldn't have been more different.

"Boy, get down here now!" came the demanding cry of Lucius Malfoy.

Only minutes after his shouted order, a young blond man entered the daunting study. "You called father?"

"Your Hogwarts letter has arrived, and I must say boy that I expect better marks from you this year"

"It not my fault sir, the teachers all favour the Mudblood"

"Well what are you going to do with that letter, wait until it is old enough to read itself, open it up boy"

Draco cautiously opened the letter and began to read it.

"Dear Mr. Malfoy,

I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected as this years Head Boy, You will share a Common room and bathroom with the Head Girl and will be expected to organise all sorts of events, from Hogsmeade Trips to Dances.

You will report to me in the Head Boy/Girl carriage on September 1st where you and the head girl will receive instructions for the year.

Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment, including the dress requirements of the Head Boy.

Yours Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress"

"Good, you will use your position to recruit students to serve Our Lord, and to spy on Dumbledore, Potter, Weasley and the Mudblood. That is all, now get out of my sight."

As Draco cautiously left the room he couldn't help but wonder whom the head girl was.

The following day found the Weasleys, Harry and Hermione in Diagon Alley, travelling of course by floo powder, and resulting as per usual in Harry with broken glasses.

Molly once again produced the large clothes brush and ensured that there was no soot present on any robes. The large group parted, the twins heading off to Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes while the rest proceeded to Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasions.

"Hogwarts robes all around please Madam Malkin" Mrs. Weasley told the witch behind the counter, "and Hermione here will need special robes for being Head Girl"

"Ahh, Marvellous. The Head Boy is here at the moment also being fitted. If you go into the back room my assistants will fit you both."

Madam Malkin pointed to a door in the back of the store and Hermione slowly pushed the door open… "Malfoy!"

"That's right Granger, me. I'm head boy this year and I tell you, you better bloody pull your weight you filthy little –" and before he could utter the hateful word she turned and stormed from the room, slamming the door behind her much to the surprise of the store's occupants.

"It's Draco bloody Malfoy" she spat.

The door slammed once again as the prat in question walked arrogantly out of the room and sauntered up to pay for his new robes. As he left the store he walked past Harry, Ron and Hermione in turn.

"Scar Head, Weasel" he leaned closer to Hermione and whispered in her ear "Gorgeous"

with that he left, the small bell above the door jingling as he stepped out onto the street.

Hermione's face turned slightly pink as Madam Malkin's assistant grabbed her arm and dragged her back into the private room to be fitted with her special robes.

Twenty minutes later she emerged from the room holding a set of black robes with red, gold, green and silver trimming. Robes she would wear with pride over the next year. The colours signifying not only the colours of her house but also of the Head Boys. Malfoys. Slytherin! Never in a million years did Hermione ever think she would wear the Slytherin colours with pride!

The rest of the day passed uneventfully as the Weasleys', Harry and Hermione continued through Diagon Alley collecting the things they would need for the coming year. At the end of the day they stopped by Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes to collect Fred and George. The large party then made their way back to the burrow.

So what did you think of that chapter?? I felt that was a good place to leave it.

RootbeerFloat: Thank you so much for your review, and I will never tire of hearing people telling me to update. And also I love your stories "A drop of blood", "when you came running" and "turn the other cheek" they rock! If you haven't read them ppl I suggest u check them out!

london-brat: Thank you, your review was so sweet! You should try and write a story of your own, use other people for your inspiration and email them if you need help at all. I am sure as u said in ur bio that u rnt a bad writer!

girl88: thank you! I haven't read your story yet but I will do so after I update this one. I hope I don't end up disappointing you with the way I develop Hermione's character.

Forbiddenlight: thanx for your review. Originally I had the story and authors notes separated with symbols but they didn't come thru, I will remember to put the authors notes in bold from now on

yanely1167: I do not know if Hermione will go bad or if Draco will go good. I am yet to decide. I plan on just writing the story as it comes to me and seeing where the characters go. I hope you continue to read though.

Senya Lady of the Serpents: Heres my update! And only 3 days after I posted my first chapter! Are you proud?
