Chapter Eleven: The New Head Boy

Ron led Hermione back into the castle and up to Professor McGonagall's office. He knocked on the door and demanded to see Dumbledore.

"May I ask why Mr Weasley?" she queried.

"Malfoy's done something terrible." Was all he would say.

McGonagall took one look at Hermione's pale and tear-streaked face and motioned for them to follow her. When they got to the entrance to Dumbledore's office she said the password and they climbed the stairs until they came to the door at the top. She knocked on the door and once Dumbledore had let Ron and Hermione in she turned around and left.

"Well now Miss Granger, Mr Weasley. What brings you to my office?" he asked.

"Draco's done something terrible to 'Mione and she's not going to be sharing a dorm with him anymore." Ron said forcefully.

"Hmmm, and what did Mr Malfoy do exactly?"

Hermione held out the letter Draco had left her, "It's this sir."

Dumbledore read the letter carefully before sighing and looking back at Hermione.

"This is indeed very serious Miss Granger. Such behaviour from a Hogwarts Head Boy cannot be tolerated." He walked over to his desk and wrote something on a bit of paper, "Mr Malfoy is no longer Head Boy. The password to your dorm has been changed and his belongings sent back to the Slytherin dorms. Mr Weasley will escort you back to your room and the two of you are excused from classes for the day. Your new password is Infractus Mei."

"Thankyou sir." Ron said, leading Hermione out the door.

"Mr Malfoy." Severus said as the students filed out of the classroom, "May I have a word with you."

"Yes sir?" Draco said questioningly.

Making sure all the students were gone Severus shook his head sadly, "I know what you're doing with Miss Granger and why."

"How?"

"Jaide told me."

"Why'd she do that?"

"It's not important Mr Malfoy. What is important is that the Headmaster has been informed of your 'actions' and you are no longer Head Boy."

"WHAT!"

"You heard me Mr Malfoy. The password to your dorm has been changed and your stuff has been taken back to the Slytherin dormitories. I've been asked to tell you that the password to the Slytherin dorms is Mors Mortis and that there will be a ceremony tonight stripping you of your title and announcing the new Head Boy." His expression softened, "I'm sorry Draco. I want you to know that what you are doing for Miss Granger and Jaide is very decent. Miss Granger is lucky to have your love, even if she doesn't know it."

"Attention students." Dumbledore said, "Tonight we have a very important announcement. Due to recent actions, our current Head Boy has been stripped of his title. The details will not be revealed to you but due to Mr Malfoy's very poor behaviour fifty points will be taken from Slytherin."

The Slytherin's immediately started protesting and the other students were murmuring amongst themselves.

"Please let me finish. I have yet to tell you who will be taking Mr Malfoy's place." He smiled, "I am pleased to announce that the new Head Boy is… Harry Potter."

The Gryffindor's all applauded loudly and Ron winked at Harry, yelling "No surprise there."

"So looks like were roommates 'Mione." Harry grinned, "I've gotta be better than Malfoy hey?"

"Yeah. I'm really glad it's you Harry." Hermione smiled back, "I can't believe we were stupid enough to trust the slimy git."

"Forget about Malfoy okay 'Mione. He's not worth it." Ron told her gently.

"Your right Ron. I'm so over Malfoy."

'Sorry Ron but I'll never forget about Draco…' she thought

'… I love him.'
