PROLOGUE
An old man smiled slightly as he watched through his half-moon spectacles two owls fly out of his window.
One gold, one silver.
One warm, one cold.
One bright, one dim.
Either way, the two owls matched perfectly together for Albus Dumbledore.
As the two owls flew out of site, a knock was heard at the door.
"Come in," said Dumbledore.
Minerva McGonagall's stern face came into view as she entered Albus Dumbledore's office.
"To what do I owe this pleasant visit?" asked Dumbledore, his vibrant blue eyes twinkling.
"I was wondering if it's wise having two children from opposite houses as head's, let alone having to share a dormitory." asked Minerva.
Dumbledore's smile seemed to grow wider as he pondered Minerva's question.
"Why don't you have a lemon drop?" suggested Dumbledore, gesturing to the bowl of sweets on his desk.
"Oh that's OK."
"Oh but they are lemon drops!"
"I'd prefer not, thank you."
"Oh, but I insist!"
"Well, OK then," Minerva replied, giving up.
"Now, about this matter you have come for," continued Dumbledore.
"Yes?" Minerva asked, her ears perking up as she sat down while chewing on her lemon drop.
"Hmmm…. Where to begin. Well, as I believe, love is a very difficult thing to posses between two enemy's Minerva. However, our head-boy and girl have this love."
----------
A few miles away in an old shack, an emotionless figure was laughing cruelly at the good news he had just received.
Chapter One: Back at the Burrow
"Ron! Harry!" exclaimed a happy brunette.
Hermionie Granger then gave each of her parents a peck on the cheek before exiting their red mini-van. (A/N hehe D)
She ran to her best friends Harry Potter and Ron Weasley and engulfed each of them in a hug.
"I've missed you guys so much!" exclaimed Hermionie, referring to not seeing them for almost two months because of her trip to the Alps.
"Me two," replied Harry and Ron simultaneously.
Jus then, another red-head came bounding out of the Burrow as the trio started making their way to the door.
"Ginny!" cried Hermionie, warmth dancing in her chocolate brown eyes.
"Hey 'Mionie! How 'ya been?" greeted Ginny as the four ventured into the Weasley's living room.
"Oh absolutely fantastic!" came the reply.
Hermionie absentmindedly dropped her luggage on the floor and sat down on a red couch lazily.
"Oh Harry, I almost forgot," Hermionie said reaching into her coat pocket. "Happy Belated Birthday!"
The 17 year-old then handed the emerald-eyed boy a nicely-wrapped red package nervously.
Harry took the palm sized gift and started to take the wrapping off while Ron and Ginny grinned at each other knowingly.
As Harry finished un-wrapping the package, a look of astonishment formed on his face.
"No Hermionie, this isn't….this….is it?" asked the boy.
"Course it is!" replied Hermionie, happy that her friend had liked his gift.
Inside the brown box was an authentic golden snitch signed by Harry's favorite Chudly Cannon's player, Rob Vilak, (A/N Made that up by the way –takes a bow- :D) the seeker.
"Whoa! Thanks a bunch 'Mionie! You really out-did yourself this time!"
"Eh… no problem. Besides, only the best for the best!" replied the bushy-haired girl smiling.
"Oh, and what am I hmmm??? Chopped Ham?" asked Ron in mock anger.
"Yeah! What about me??" second Ginny, a scowl forming on her face.
Hermionie's attention was averted back to the two Weasley's sitting in front of her, mock angry expressions filling their faces.
"Oh c'mon you two! You know you're all equal to me. Just in the moment…"
"Pfft.... sureee," replied Ginny, her eye's narrowing yet laughter filing her voice.
Suddenly, a CRACK was heard as Fred and George apparated in front of the four friends.
"Oi! Here already Hermionie?" asked George, while gulping down a Berty Bott's every flavored bean.
"How have you two been?" asked Hermionie, laying her head down on a pillow.
"Oh just grand really! Our business has been up and everyone-"
"Ugh! Boogy flavored!" George interrupted Fred, disgust evident on his face.
He suddenly spit out jelly-bean not noticing that in landed on Fred's nose.
The room suddenly went quite as Fred's eyes narrowed slowly, yet a mischievous grin forming on his face.
"Rictosempra!" cried Fred, pointing his wand at his twin. (A/N Is that the tickling spell?)
George burst out laughing due to the spells effects and crashed to the carpeted floor clutching his sides.
"Ahhh brothers. Especially twin brothers." Interrupted Ginny. "Can't live with them, can't live without them…although you probably could live without them… but that's not the point."
Ron just shook his head.
"Anyone up for some grub?" questioned Ron, trying to over-rule his twin brother's laughter.
"Sure," replied Ginny.
"Me two," second Harry.
"Ehh, I just ate. I'll just start unpacking in Ginny's room." Hermionie said.
"You sure 'Mionie? We've got some chocolate éclairs!" said Ron, smacking his lips together at the though of the delicious pastry.
"I'm sure Ron. I've got to start studying for school and N.E.W.T.s anyways."
"Still the bookworm I see?" asked Ron, although it was more of a statement than a question.
"As usual," came the reply.
"Do you need any help unpacking?" asked Ginny.
"No it's ok, my strength is just as strong as my intelligence mind you."
Harry and Ron just chuckled while following Ginny into the kitchen leaving Hermionie trailing up the stairs and Fred and George laughing to themselves.
"I swear," came Ginny's voice moments later.
"If those two weren't capable of beating me up, I'd make them shut up!"
----------
Hermionie trudged up the stairs, her suit-cases following behind her magically.
As she turned a corner leading up to Ginny's room, a golden colored owl caught her eye as it continued tapping on a near window repeatedly.
Hermionie quietly walked over to the window and creaked it open just enough to let it in.
As the owl hooted and flew around the hallway, Hermionie secretly admired its soft golden fur and sparkling aqua eyes.
The owl then landed on the window sill, sticking out its leg gesturing to the four letters attached to it.
She gently untied the four letters, not wanting to damage the owl's leg, and watched it fly out of the window and into the sunset.
As soon as the owl was out of site, Hermionie's attention was drawn back to the letters in her hand.
"To Miss. Ginny Weasley, bla, bla, bla," she read, searching for her own letter.
"To Mr. Harry Potter, bla, bla, bla, To Mr. Ron Weasley, bla, bla, bla. Oh, to Miss. Hermionie Granger, Miss Weasley's room, the Burrow. Must the letters from Hogwarts." Hermionie said, turning the envelope over to see the Hogwarts crest stamped on the back.
As Hermionie opened the envelope, an object fell out of it oddly looking like a head-badge, yet the brown-eyed girl didn't want to assume anything yet.
As she observed the item she had just picked up, butterflies fluttered in her stomach, realizing it was indeed a head-girl badge.
Heart-racing, she stuck her fingers inside the envelope revealing an important letter apparently from the Headmaster.
Dear Miss Granger, it read.
We are pleased to inform you that you have been appointed Head-Girl for this year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Along with the Head-Boy, you will share numerous Head responsibilities and a tower to yourselves instead of living in your regular house quarters.
Further information on Head business and the Head-Boy will be given to you on September Second on the Hogwarts Express were you are required to be for an important meeting along with the new prefects of Hogwarts.
Hope to see you September Second.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster of Hogwarts
Heart practically jumping out of her chest, Hermionie raced down the stairs to the kitchen and shouted the first thing that came to her mind.
"Im Head-Girl! Yeah!" Hermionie exclaimed gleefully.
After many minutes of jumping up and down, all dignity forgotten I A/N That was a line for HP and the POA Hermionie finally realized who was standing in front of her.
"Er… hello Mrs.Weasley."
----------
TOOT went a silver whistle and then five figures could be seen shooting on their brooms through the night sky.
As Harry started searching for his new snitch, Ron blocking the inexpensive quaffle Ginny was aiming at him, and Fred and George hitting bludgers at near-by tree's, a cry of happiness was heard through the night.
As Harry caught the snitch, he landed along with everyone else and started walking toward the source of the happy voice.
"Yahoo!"
"What do figure …that… is???" asked Ron.
"Either its mom screaming," started George.
"Or a lady who has had a few to many butterbeers," Finished Fred.
"Or firewhiskys," added Ginny.
However, as the group neared the source of the voice, they soon realized that it wasn't Mrs.Weasley or a 'drunken hick' (A/N That is a quote from a good friend.. hehe Aid) but instead, a happy Hermionie Granger.
"I'm Head-Girl.. YEAH! Sure I just embarrassed myself out of my socks but I'm Head-Girl!"
The four Weasley's and Harry just grinned knowingly at each other. It was quite obvious that Hermionie would get the Head position due to her good grades and school concentration.
"Well Hermionie, to tell you, it's not much of a shock hearing that you've gotten head-girl but congratulations anyway!" said Ron, engulfing Hermionie in a brotherly hug.
"Congratulations 'Mionie!" congratulated Ginny.
Hermionie continued to getting remarks of congratulations before remembering the Hogwarts letters in her pocket.
"Oh, I almost forgot! Our Hogwarts letter came for you guys just now." She said, handing out the letters.
As Ron, Harry and Ginny took their Hogwarts letters, a warm smile crept up on Hermionie's face.
This year at Hogwarts would definitely be the best ever.
