Anyways, now on to the story. Right now, finals are over, so, hopefully, updates galore. I'll try to update as fast as I write it and get it typed up. Thanks to all of you guys reading this.

"So, uh, what did you do this summer?" Hermione asked tentatively.

"Well, apart from learning that my father died, and Voldemort wants me to become a Death Eater, all I did was go to Disneyland Paris.. How about you?" Draco answered.

"Well, I went to Spain for a couple of weeks in July."

"That sounds like fun. See any bull-fighting on your stay?"

"No, we mostly went sightseeing and shopping."

"Ah, too bad then, you missed out on something really fun."

"Yeah, uh, that's really not my idea of fun." Hermione said.

"Of Course not, sorry."

"Looks like we're almost there then. We should probably go change."

"Yeah. Why don't you take the bathroom in here and I'll take the compartment."

"Alright then." Hermione said. So Hermione got her robes out of her trunk and went to the bathroom adjacent to the compartment, while Draco did the same but stayed inside the compartment.

Hermione changed fast, Since she didn't know the speed at which Draco changed, she decided to wait about 30 seconds so he could finish up, then she opened the door and tentatively peeked out. What she saw left her standing there in awe and trying not to stare. There was Draco, just kind of standing there, looking at her, without his shirt on. 'Whoa, he has muscles,' Hermione thought. 'No Hermione, this is Malfoy you're talking about here. Even if you are friends now, that is no grounds for you to fancy him!" but what Hermione actually said was this, "Sorry Malfoy, I'll just go back in here then. Carry on." Hermione said this in quite an embarrassed tone.

"No, it's alright," Draco said as he picked up his "Hogwarts" button-down shirt and started to put it on. "I'm almost done," he said while he buttoned the last button he was going to button, leaving the first two unbuttoned, in contrast to his normal prim-and-proper style. "See. Problem solved." Then he tried to put on his tie, but he seemed to be struggling a bit.

"Here, let me help you," Hermione said, and she started to move forward. To her surprise, Malfoy didn't say anything or try to stop her. He just let her go about her business tying his tie.

When she finished, Draco said, "Thanks. I've never been able to get that down. My mother's always tied it ahead of time and left it loose enough so I could slip it over my head, or I would do it by magic if I was in school. But my mom kind of forgot, what with all of her grieving over the death of my father and everything. And I'm still underage. my birthday's not until tomorrow."

"Yeah, it's understandable. Look, Draco, I'm here if you ever need to talk, ok?" Hermione said.

"Yeah, thanks Hermione. That means a lot." Draco said.

"So I'm Hermione now, am I?"

"I should say the same to you. Well, almost the same, anyways."

"Oh. Right."

Look, we're here!" Draco announced. The train was just pulling up at Hogsmeade station. From here, there was about a 15-minute ride to Hogwarts in the horseless carriages, which they now knew from their previous experiences in their fifth year to be driven by thestrals, "After you," Draco said as he held out his hand to signify that she was to go first. Hermione got into the Head's carriage, and was followed by Draco.

Most of the ride went in silence. They were both kind of warn out from the eventful train ride. Finally, they had arrived at Hogwarts. From there, they were led into the Great Hall and went to their respective house tables. It was here that Hermione met up with Harry, Ron, and her other best friend and Ron's little sister, Ginny. Hermione and Ginny sat on the side of the table facing Slytherin, while Harry and Ron sat facing away from Slytherin. As soon as they sat down, the first years walked shakily into the hall to await their fate. Then the Sorting began.

As soon as they were all sorted, Dumbledore stood up, intending to say a few words before the feast. "Good evening students," Dumbledore said, "First, and foremost, I would like to introduce out Head Boy and Girl for this year, Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger. Draco, Hermione, please stand up and make yourselves known." Draco and Hermione stood up to cheers from the assembled houses, mostly for Hermione. Not many people liked Draco, because of what he had done to them in past years.

As the applause subsided, Dumbledore said, "Just a note, Hermione, Draco. I need to see you in my office after the feast." He then went on to list all of the basic things he listed every year for the new students' and the people who forgot's sake.

Finally, the feast started. It was mostly uneventful. Harry and Ron were chatting about Quidditch, and Ginny was talking to some people from her own year about one thing or another. She looked towards the Slytherin table, where she saw Pansy Parkinson trying to worm her way towards Draco, sucking up in any way possible. Hermione could just hear her now, "Drakie Poo, we're now officially going out, because I said so." and Draco would say, "No Pansy, were not. Now if you would please get your hand off my leg." and Pansy, now close to tears, would say, "But Draco, we're in love. Aren't we?" Hermione chckled softly at the thought.

As soon as it had started, it seemed, the feast ended. As the other students rose to leave, Draco and Hermione rose to go to their meeting with Dumbledore in his office.
