Hey! I hope you guys like this chapter! I tried so hard to get it to be 9 pages, because my first chappy was three, the second was 6, and I wanted this one to be 9. Thanks to all my reviewers! I love you guys!

"Hermione! Wake up! You need to go now!" Draco said to her. She slowly opened her eyes to look into his.

She tried to wake up but just couldn't. She was in a dungeon that looked the size of Hogwarts alone. "Hermione you need to go now! He's coming for you. I'll cover for you. I don't want to get hurt. I lov…" He was stopped by a crash that sounded distant, but the noise made her ears ring.

"Draco… I… I…" Hermione started to say.

"NO! GO NOW!" He said as he gave her a kiss. "On the count of three. One…Two…Three!"

"NO!" Hermione said sitting up. She was no longer in the dungeon, but on the Hogwarts express. She looked around and saw Harry, Ron, Ginny, Neville, Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy, Dean, and Seamus standing at the door way gasping at her. She looked outside just to reassure herself and saw the brick wall of the station.

"Hermione you ok?"

"How could you try to get some from a mudblood?"

"What was he trying to do to you?"

"Was she trying to seduce you baby?"

"Want me to take him outside for a couple?"

"I can't believe you were that desperate!"

"Hermione?" All these questions started coming at once. She just couldn't take it.

"We were just sleeping. That's it!" Hermione shouted.

"Yeah!" said Draco, looking slightly hurt, but not showing that much.

"That pureblood!"

"That mudblood!"

"I'm a pureblood!" Hermione shouted at the same time Draco shouted "She's a pureblood!"

"What?" They both shouted at each other.

"How'd you know?" asked Hermione.

"Well, I mean c'mon Hermione, purebloods DO talk to each other." Draco said. Hermione just stood there with her jaw dropped.

"No one told us about it!" Crabbe said.

"And no one told me, Drakey Poo!" Pansy shrieked.

"God! We broke up at the end of last term! Stop calling me that!" Draco said. He turned to Hermione, who still had her mouth open with shock. "Hermione, are you ok?"

"You…you…you called me Hermione." She said speechlessly.

"Well, of course I did. Us top threes have to form an alliance somewhere!" Draco said, as if this was obvious. Hermione looked hurt by this. Just as Draco was about to ask what was wrong again he was cut off by Ginny.

"Hermione, what's your family's last name?" asked Ginny, who put a hand on her best friends shoulder.

"Snakin." She replied. Draco looked around and tried not to look at the smirk that had appeared on Ginny's face, as well as the others, with the exception of Crabbe, Goyle, Neville, and Harry. Seeing this, Hermione looked from Ginny to Draco and back to Ginny and said "What, what's up?"

"Oh, nothing. It's just that your family happens to be the top pureblood family, followed by the Malfoy's and then the Zambini family." Ginny said.

"So, you mean I'm higher than Draco?" Hermione said.

"No way!" shrieked Pansy.

"It's true." Draco said. "But…"

"ALL ABOARD!" came from the outside of the train.

"Well, I think all the compartments are full, do you guys want to sit in here with us?" asked Hermione.

"Sure why not?" Harry said as he looked over at Ginny, Ron and Neville.

"Um, yeah, what about you Dean?" there was a cough from besides him. "And Seamus?"

"Loved to!" said Seamus as he sat down and stretched his legs.

"Hey, Ginny, how about we go sit in the sets over at the other end? Dean asked.

"Sure!" Ginny said with a big grin.

"Hey Hermione! Could I talk to you?" Ron said. Everyone turned around to look at him because they all forgot he was there. This was over just as soon as it had happened.

"Sure." Hermione said. They walked out of the compartment and stood where everyone had been standing about five minutes ago. The train started moving as they got there. "So, what's up?"

"Hermione, I love you." They said at the same time.

"Ron,…"

"I know I shouldn't, but I just do! And seeing you there with Draco, half dressed, just made me realize it even more. And I just thought that, this year, we could… you know, stop beating around the bush." He said in one short breath.

"I know I liked you from 3rd year to about last term last year. But then during the summer I just changed. I didn't know it was going to happen, it just did."

"But, on the train last year…"

"I know. And I'm sorry. Please forgive me!"

"How could I stay mad at you? Even thought you did say…"

"RON! I know what I said and I'm sorry! What can I do to make it up to you?"

"Well, how about one last time?" Ron said with a smile.

"Fine!" Hermione said as she shared the smile. She leaned in and gave him a kiss. Ron put his hands on her hips for a second and found out that the skirt was smaller then his hands. As Hermione pulled away she said "Better?"

"Well,…"

"Ron…"

"Of course Herms." He said giving her a smile.

They went back inside and Hermione saw Pansy a little too close to Draco, so she decided to step in. Ron went over to Harry and sighed.

"Well?" Harry asked

"I got one last kiss." Ron said with a smirk. "And man, did you see her skirt? My hands bigger then it!"

"Yeah, but mate, you've got awfully big hands." Harry said looking at Ron's hands. "So her skirt can't be THAT short."

"But still, it's short."

"You act like you've never seen a girl wear a mini skirt. They're SUPPOSED to be short!"

"Yeah, well whatever."

"Ha! You know I'm right!" Harry said.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the compartment Dean and Ginny were snuggling on a chair.

"I missed you so much!" Ginny said to Dean.

"I know, me too." He said looking in her eyes. "Even though it's only been a week."

"That was such a good idea you had. No one would have ever guessed that my tutoring only lasted an hour instead of three. And those two hours, they sure were fun." Ginny said with a twinkle in her eye.

FLASHBACK

"Dean, you're so sweet!" Ginny looked down at the pink sapphire ring and the dozen roses he had gotten her. In the roses there were 11 real and one fake. He said he'd love her until each and every rose died.

"Well, what can I say? I am just a really sweet and thoughtful guy." Dean said playfully. He looked at Ginny and gave her a big smile.

"I'm ready." She said with a small smile.

"Are you sure?" He asked her, looking serious then playful.

"I'm sure. More then sure. I'm really ready to do this." She said.

"It doesn't bother you that I've done it before?"

"No. Well, not that much. I like to think that at least one of us will know what to do."

"And your absolutely sure you want to do this?"

"Positive."

Dean reached over and kissed her as he made a bed appear in a cave they went to that once belonged to a man called Snuffles.

END FLASHBACK

Ginny twisted the ring around her right ring finger. "I love you." She said

"I love you too." He said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Meanwhile, Hermione was trying to get in the way of Pansy and Draco. After she walked in from kissing Ron she had a disgusted look on her face. He was such a sloppy kisser. It was disgusting just to think about swapping spit with him. Hermione shuddered.

"But Drakey poo!" She heard pansy whine.

"Stop calling me that!" Draco said in an exasperated look that made him look hotter then he already did. Hermione walked over to save him and sat on his lap. He looked up and gave her a great big smile.

"Um, hello, there ARE other seats!" Pansy said

"And your point is…?" Hermione said with a Slytherin tone that surprised even herself. Draco looked up and gave her a great big smile.

"Will all prefects please report to the prefect's compartment for your meeting and instructions for the year?" Came McGonagall's voice over the speaker.

"C'mon!" Hermione said as she got off Draco and pulled him towards the door. She stopped and said to Ron "You coming?"

"Yeah, right. Coming." He said as he got up from his seat. "Hey Ginny, did you forget you were a Prefect too?" Ron said and followed Hermione and Draco through the compartments. Ginny followed blushing wildly. A minute later Pansy came out and looked quite upset.

They walked into the prefect's compartment and saw they were the first to arrive. They also weren't surprised to see McGonagall there in muggle dress pants and a tank top.

"Looking good Professor!" Hermione said.

"Why, thank you Miss Granger. And, you look, rather stunning as well." She said.

"Thanks Professor. Where are the others?"

Professor McGonagall was looking at how close Hermione and Draco were standing. "What were you and Mr. Malfoy doing? Nothing against school rules I hope." McGonagall said with a stern look on her face.

"Of course not!" Hermione said. "You know I want to be Head Girl!"

"Of course! How silly of me." McGonagall said with a little smile "I also heard that you found out about your true family."

"You knew?!" Hermione said.

"Me and all the staff of Hogwarts."

"I wonder why the sorting hat put me in Gryffindor then."

"You truly have Gryffindor qualities from growing up with Muggles. It changed you a lot from what you would have become."

"Right." Hermione said with an uncertain look just as everyone walked in.

"All Right!" McGonagall said. "Let's get this Prefects meeting started! First off, our Head Boy and Girl will be Cho Chang and Kevin Dunning." Both stood up and gave a bow as every one applauded.

"We will be doing something very exciting this year as well. We will be choosing people to represent each house. The people chosen from each house will form a committee, along with the Head Boy and Girl, and plan the activities that Professor Dumbledore will explain to you at the feast. Well, get deciding!" She said as she walked to a chair and sat down. The houses split up and everyone started talking.

"I really think you should do it Hermione!" Colin Creevey said to Hermione.

"No, I couldn't!" Hermione said blushing.

"Herms, you'll do a great job." Ginny said.

"Here, here!" Justin Pinchcree said the 7th year prefect.

"Yeah, you'll do great." said Ron.

"All right then. It's settled. Hermione will be the one for the committee." Maria Savoz said, who was the other 7th year prefect.

"Are you sure?" Hermione said. Everyone nodded. "All right, I'll do it!"

After another two minutes each house was ready. The committee was going to be Cho, Kevin, Hermione, Draco, Ernie Macmillan, and Padma Patil.

"Great! Its half boys and half girls. I was worried I'd have to change people. You are all to report to Professor Dumbledore's office immediately after getting off the train. There will be a carriage there that will take you up before the other ones leave. But for now, I think this meeting is over." McGonagall said.

"What are we supposed to do, Professor?" Colin said.

"Oh, right! Of course, all new Prefects stay after for instructions." McGonagall said.

Hermione, Draco and Ron waited for Ginny to come out. When she came out she looked very proud. Hermione looked at her watch and gasped.

"The train will be there in ten minutes! I need to get changed!" Hermione said as she beckoned everyone to follow her. They got changed and were ready to go in ten minutes. "We should go find everyone so we can stick together and get there on time." Hermione said to Draco.

"OK." He said as he followed her out the door. They walked through one compartment and saw everyone else walking towards them.

"We will be arriving at Hogwarts shortly. Please gather your stuff and wait in your seats until the Prefects let you off." Came McGonagall's voice once more from somewhere.

"Do we have to do that?" Hermione asked, panicking.

"No, everyone else will." Cho reassured her. The train slowed and the six of them got off and went to a carriage that read: Hogwarts High Committee of Excellence. They all got in and rode to the castle. The ride only took about 30 seconds and they were there before they realized they left.

They climbed the stairs and reached the goblin leading to Professor Dumbledore's office.

"Oh no! We forgot to ask for the password!" Hermione cried.

"Lemon tree." Came a voice from behind them. They all turned to see Professor Dumbledore. The gargoyle sprang to life and they all started climbing the stairs leading to his office.
