Wow! I got 3 reviews for my first chapter! And they were all so nice! Thanks all :) Keep reviewing! And I'm still looking for a beta...clears throat So...this story is going to be rather fast paced but...I hope...good.
Hermione smiled at Draco's movement.
"I do know. So..can you show me?"
"I thought you of all people Granger would know where the Head's Compartment is."
"Well sorry I don't. Hurry up." Said Hermione impatiently. Draco stood there in shock. Hermione Granger would never admit that she was wrong.
"Are you really Granger?" he asked suspiciously
"No..." said Hermione stretching the word out sarcastically. Draco smirked and started to walk away. Hermione followed but before she could move 3 steps Harry stood up.
"Hermione...please. Can we talk?"
"No. I can't—won't be held by your eyes anymore." Said Hermione, saying her first words to him throughout the whole train ride. She walked away. Leaving Harry there with a angry and red faced Ginny. Hermione followed Draco but he was nowhere in sight.
"Great...just peachy." She muttered. Until she was pulled into a nearby compartment. Draco stood there smirking, as usual, and Professor McGonagall behind him. She lowered her glasses in amazement
"Hermione Granger?"
"Yes Professor?"
"Oh..it is you. Here is a list of your duties. These include planning Hogsmeade trips and organizing a ball. Make sure the Hogsmeade trips aren't too often. Oh and after the feast please come up to the teachers table. I will show you to your new dorms."
"New dorms?"
"Yes Granger. We get new dorms. But we have to share a Common Room. See unlike you I researched."
"Sorry Malfoy, unlike you, I have a life." Draco narrowed his eyes in disbelief and McGonagall left the compartment.
"Now lets see...we have to plan a 6th and 7th year ball. Arrange Hogsmeade visits...ho hum." Said Hermione bored
"Which one first?" asked Draco
"Wait...first off. I want us to call each other by out first names. It'll help communication."
"I suppose..." drawled Draco, "So what happened with you? I mean physical changes?" And emotional he added in his head
"You know very well." Snapped Hermione, "After all, you made it happen."
"Excuse me?"
"You showed me Harry and Ginny."
"Would you have rather been in the dark?"
"Y--," Hermione stopped midword. "I suppose not."
"That's what I thought. But if I were you, I would want revenge."
"Well...Draco what shall we plan first?"
"Here's what I was thinking. We plan a Yule Ball. And schedule a Hogsmeade visit a couple days before so that we can choose clothes."
"That's an actual good idea Draco."
"Thank you...Hermione." said Draco testing out her name. They worked together for a while in silence, occassionally consulting each other. The trip passed fairly quickly until Hermione looked at her watch and saw that the train was scheduled to arrive at Hogwarts in 10 minutes.
"We should get changed into our robes now..." said Hermione suddenly painfully aware of how close they were.
"Sure..." said Draco and they walked in different directions.

At the feast Hermione sat down with the Gryffindors. She pondered Draco's words. If I were you I would want revenge. Hermione stood up as the Gryffindor Prefects showed the first years to the Common Room. She walked to the teachers table and met Draco there. There was a comfortable smile exchanged. Both were more comfortable around each other and Draco had not called Hermione a mudblood for the time being. Dumbledore raised his eyebrows but said
"Hello my new Heads. I welcome you and I hope you enjoy your year. Professor McGonagall will show you to your new dorms." He inclined his head and McGonagall rose and led them to past many staircases and portraits. She got to an engraving of a rose with a dragon around it.
"The password is L'Occhio Del Drago."
"L ochio del what?" stumbled Draco
"It means The Dragon's Eye dimwit!" said Hermione
"Very good Ms Granger."
"Thank you Professor, L'Occhio Del Drago." The engraving glowed white and a door appeared. Hermione looked amazed while Draco looked as if door's appeared in walls every day. Hermione walked in first and sighed with pleasure. The Common Room was draped with red and silver. The chairs had cozy red pillows on a fainter silver backround. Hermione raced upstairs to her room which had a rose on the door.
"It's perfect." She breathed. It was gold and red everywhere. She dropped off her bag on her bed and went into the Common Room. Draco was sitting there reading. It was then that Hermione noticed that Draco had changed his hair. Instead of being slicked back it was messy. And he looked normal. A smile was on his face and he looked amazingly innocent. Then she thought of how Harry had looked like that. And the anger grew. Then the idea came. The evil idea that she never had been capable of thinking of before. She walked up to Draco and said
"Draco..." his head snapped up and she smiled, "Will you help me?"
