A/N: ok, here's the deal...Harry and Ron are dead in the final battle against
Voldemort...(sorri to all u fans) And Hermione has to change her name and
identity to escape the remaining death eaters, she even has to be sorted
into a new house... This will be a Herm/Draco fic.
"Alright Harmony, get ready for your new life."
Hermione viewed herself in the mirror. Her bushy, brown hair was now long, straight, and black with silver streaks. Her looks, lets just say one word: black. Black nails, eyes, lips: just black. The only thing they hadn't changed was her eyes. The vibrant honey eyes she had always loved were intact.
All of this was the plan for her safety.
As far as everyone knew, with the single exception of Dumbledore, the girl looking back at her was Harmony; Hermione having disappeared after the final battle with Voldemort, the one that had not only claimed the life of him, but her two best friends as well. So now, 8 months later, here she was, being sorted into Slytheren for her 7th and final year at Hogwarts. Who would suspect an enemy among friends right? Then there was the look. Too many people would recognize Hermione. Who couldn't, with her bushy, chestnut hair and striking features? So her hair had been lengthened to her stomach and dyed black-permanently. Then the streaks were added because, as everyone knew, that was something so not like Hermione.
And so now, September first, (a/n correct me if I'm wrong!!) the first day of school at Hogwarts as Harmony, Slytheren head girl. Sighing, she grabbed her things and ran down to breakfast.
As she entered the Great Hall, she looked around and, noticing Ginny, Neville, and Lavender, raised her hand subconsciously. Luckily, she caught herself in time to put her hand down, and replace it with a smirk as she headed to the Slytheren table.
When she was about half way through her breakfast, she looked up to the tingling of a bell. Dumbledore stood up and, when the hall was silent, began to talk.
"Welcome everyone, new and old, to another year at Hogwarts! I would first like to congratulate out new head boy and girl. Everyone, please give a warm welcome to our head boy: Draco Malfoy." A polite applause resounded in the hall. "And to out head girl, a new member to Hogwarts: Harmony Snipper."
As Harmony stood up, the same amount of applause hit her ears and she glanced around at the tables. The Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs seemed uninterested, the Gryffindor were scowling (a/n hehehe...), and the slytherens had broad smirks on their faces. Then, bringing her attention back to Dumbledore, she could have sworn she saw him wink before continuing. However, the next part of his speech left Harmony (a/n I'm gonna call her Harmony from now on) speechless. "I would like to take a moment of silence to remember 3 students who were lost this February. I know that Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger's presence will be sorely missed." As soon as these words came out of Dumbledore's mouth, a great silence filled the hall. Harmony had to try her hardest to bite back the tears that threatened to pour down her cheeks. She thanked Bob (a/n that's what I call the big girl upstairs) when it was over, and Dumbledore finished his announcements.
"Well, that's the last of it, so finish your breakfast, and then it's off to class you trot..."
Harmony got up from her seat to head to charms, when she was suddenly knocked down by a student going to class.
"Oh. Sorry." The boy said, looking at the girl he had knocked to the floor. She looked oddly familiar, almost like...
He shook his head. 'No' he thought 'Granger had died with Potter and Weasly.' "That's okay." The girl said. However, when she looked at his face, she let out a gasp, quickly stifling it.
Smirking a bit, the boy said "Draco Malfoy" as he helped her to her feet.
"Her-Harmony Snipper." Harmony said, taking his hand.
"Ahh! So you're the new head girl everyone's talking about. Pleasure to meet you. I guess, if anything, I'll see you tonight." The girl just stared at him as he said this. 'Why is she staring at me like that? Well, besides that fact that im irrestistable.'
'Why is he being so nice and polite to me?'
"Well, bye I guess." He said, beginning to walk off.
"Bye" she said, heading off to charms.
'He seems so different this year.... Wait, that must be how he acts around Slytherens...yea...that's it....it's just a Slytheren thing.' But Harmony still couldn't shake the look of those sliver eyes (yes, I'm making them silver) staring deep into her soulas she headed to her last class of the day: Potions.
'I wonder what it's going to be like now that I'm a Slytheren...' Harmony's mind wandered as she took a seat at an empty table, only to have none other than Draco Malfoy sit next to her.
"Well hello again." He said in a friendly tone.
"He-Hello."
"Are you liking Hogwarts much?"
"I guess." She said hesitantly, then continued "I think I've just got to get used to everything."
'Well, might as well hear his story.'
"What happened last year? Dumbledore mentioned 3 people. What happened to them?"
Draco suddenly looked uneasy.
"I don't think we should discuss that in public. How about in the commons? Say 7:00?"
"Alright..." Harmony said, suddenly confused.
'Why wouldn't he take this chance to mock Harry and Ron and –she gulped- herself? Is there actually more to Draco?'
She never got to think further however, for at that moment, Professor Snape stalked in and began to explain the potion they would be making for class. It was a potion to reveal your deepest, darkest secrets. It would take almost the entire class period to complete, then they would test it on someone.
This should have bothered Harmony, however her mind was on other things as she began to chop up her roots and measure her ingredients.
It wasn't until half way through class when she glanced over at Draco's cauldron and absent mindedly said "¼ an inch, not ½." To Draco, who caught himself just in time to chop his root to the right length.
"Thanks" he said, correcting his mistake and continuing.
'Wow, she's smart.' He thought 'just like Hermione, she corrected Potter and Weasly all the time when they were about to make a mistake... I mean, not like I watched her. And she's skilled. Hasn't cut herself once...'
'What did you do that for you idiot!? Why didn't you let him screw up?? Why'd you save him?' Her mind continued to wander as her potion simmered.
"By now your potions should have begun to simmer, and I shall come around to check them." Snape said with an icy glare saying h e meant business.
"Horrible, horrible, that is atrocious, Longbottom, it's supposed to be blue not orange. Ahh, Ms. Snipper and Mr. Malfoy, very good. Ten points to Slytheren each."
He then walked up to the front of the room and called "Oh and Ms. Snipper please come up here to demonstrate your potion."
Harmony froze.
A/n...first chappie...yippee!! I'm going to try my best to not abandon this story...but reviewing with plot ideas would be so incredibly appreciated...baibai -jean jelly bean ^.~
