September 1st

Hermione sat alone in her usual carriage on the Hogwarts Express waiting for her friends. Her mind kept constantly replaying the conversation she had had with her parents when she had found out she was adopted. She still called her adoptive parents mum and dad but something had changed. She felt like there was a half to her missing. All she wanted to do was find her family. She wanted to know if her mother and father were alright. If she had any siblings. She still couldn't get the idea of her being a pureblood out of her head. That would really be something to tell Malfoy. Despite how much she wanted the world to know of the real her she had decided that she wanted to keep it secret for a while. As she sat inside her carriage she heard a familiar drawl from outside. She groaned inwardly and hoped to merlin that Malfoy would not see her. It would not be a good way to start off the year. Just as she thought he was gone her luck dropped to the ground.

"Well if it isn't Granger. All on her own." Malfoy drawled. Hermione looked up surprised to see he was not with his usual cronies but with Blaise Zabini instead. She didn't really have anything against Zabini but he was still Slytherin. She narrowed her eyes as she turned her attention back to Malfoy before making sure her necklace was out of view.

"Sod off Malfoy. Don't you have to be in the Prefect carriage about now?" she asked. Malfoy sneered.

"No Granger. For some odd reason I am not a Prefect this year. And if I'm not mistaken you're not either or you would have been down there ages ago to start sucking up to Professor McGonagall or something." he jeered. Hermione glared at him.

"If you must know, I am not a prefect this year. Now sod off and leave me alone." she snapped.

"Now why would I sod off when I can chat to my favourite Mudblood?" he asked mockingly. Hermione's eyes narrowed and Malfoy could have swore they flashed black. She stood up and walked up to him not caring that he was a good 4 inches taller than her aswell as being well muscled.

"Care to repeat?" she growled. Malfoy narrowed his eyes also.

"Whatever Granger." he said and stalked off. Hermione smiled as she sat back down in peace. Her firends would not be long. Harry and Ron were both prefects. It was the first time two boys had been picked from the same year and house. Ginny was also a prefect as she was now in fifth year. About 10 minutes later Ginny, Harry and Ron all came back from the meeting all looking equally bored. Ron flopped down into the seat nearest the window.

"That meeting was more boring than a class with Professor Binns." Harry grumbled. Ron grunted in agreement whilst Ginny rolled her eyes. Hermione snorted at them and started to write in her journal before Ginny started speaking to her.

"So Hermione, how was your summer?" she asked curiously. Hermione felt an odd sense of guilt about not telling her friends though she knew when she did they would understand her delay.

"Oh it was fine. Just caught up with some of my muggle friends. You know, because I hardly see them now. Sorry I couldn't make it to the Burrow by the way."

Ginny shook her head.

"No problem. You would have been bored. All that happened was games of Quidditch and I know you're not that keen on it."

Hermione nodded in agreement. She observed Ginny quickly. She certainly had changed. Her hair had turned into a more auborn colour and she had slimmed out quite a bit. She wasn't stunningly beautiful but was quite pretty according to Hermione. She then moved on to observe Harry. He looked a lot fitter. Probably from all that Quidditch over the summer. Although Hermione's relationship with Harry was very platonic (non-sexual) she knew that a lot of girls would be dropping at his feet this year. Lastly she looked onto Ron who had grown to a large 6'4. He had gotten a bit more attractive over the year but once again Hermione and his relationship was very platonic. Sighing slightly she returned to writing in her journal.

Draco and Blaises Carriage

"Granger has certainly changed anyway." Blaise mentioned trying to strike a conversation. Draco nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, she has more of an attitude and the mudblood didn't even get prefect this year." he said curiously. Blaise gasped. Never had he heard Draco say something blood related like that unless he was in company of others.

"I thought blood didn't matter to you Draco?" he asked curiously. Draco sighed slightly. Blaise was right. Blood didn't matter to him. He and his family only acted that way to stay alive. If they didn't Voldemort would have had them for toast by now.

"It doesn't. The name is just becoming habit with her now. Besides she can be annoying." he explained. Blaise nodded understanding.

"So where do you suppose we start our search for Mia?" Blaise asked his insides tearing as he said his sisters name. Draco shrugged.

"Well if she is a Zabini you had better hope she is either a Slytherin ot perhaps Gryffindor." he answered. Balise eyes nearly popped out.

"Gryffindor?" he asked shocked. Draco nodded.

"Well there is only a 25 chance she is in Slytherin. All we know is that she has the necklace and more than likely goes to Hogwarts. I doubt any Zabini would ever be in Hufflepuff. That house is only for the dunderheads. Then there is Ravenclaw. Although that house is smart I just don't get the feeling she is there. Although all of the Gryffindors are incredibly annoying they are better than the other two house you gotta admit, even if they are our rivals. Although I doubt she is Gryffindor anyway. Let's just hope she's a Slytherin. And hope to merlin it's not Parkinson." he shuddered. Almost as if on cue a voice screeched. Blaise snorted.

"Drakie-Poo!"

in The Great Hall

At long last the students of Hogwarts reached their destination. Everyone was seated ready for the sorting to begin. First to be sorted was Greg Adams who was made a Ravenclaw. The sorting had proceeded to sort the rest of the children until at last Teri White was sorted into Gryffindor. At long last the food appeared on the tables. Hermione silently ate her food as her friends were either busy scoffing their faces or endlessly talking about Quidditch. No longer than 45 minutes later Dumbledore stood up to signal the end of the feast and start of his speech. The hall silenced at once. Dumbledore smiled around his pupils.

"Welcome to our new pupils and welcome back to the others. I would just like to say that the Forbidden Forest is still out of bounds to all pupils. Also Mr Filch has asked me to remind you that Fanged Frisbees and any Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes product is strictly banned. For a full list of the banned items list please see Mr Filch. I believe the number has now reached a whopping 7295 items. Also please welcome our new Defence Against the Dark Arts Teacher Professor Tonks."

A loud round of applause could be heard but quickly died down as Dumbledore continued.

"This years heads are Daphne Brown and Robert Perk. I would like to announce that we are also starting a new system this year. Junior heads will be picked also obviously from the 6th years. They will have a better authorities than prefects but not as much as the actual heads. Please give a round of applause for Miss Hermione Granger and Mr Draco Malfoy."

A loud round of applause could be heard for them both. Hermione looked absolutely flabbergasted.

"Please stay behind Mr Malfoy and Miss Granger with a chosen friend. Goodnight everyone."

Everyone began to scramble out of the hall. Hermione grabbed Ginnys wrist and hissed in her ear.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"To the dorm." she answered. Hermione snorted.

"Nope, you're staying with me. I've gotta pick a chosen friend remember?"

"Aww, I'm flattered. I thought you would have chosen Harry or Ron."

Hermione snorted and walked with Ginny up to Dumbledore where Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini were waiting. Dumbledore smiled at the four students before him.

"Well I guess this came as a bit of a shock to all of you?" he asked. The four nodded at him.

"Well this year the staff and I agreed that we should have Junior heads who get their own common room to share. It sounded great until we heard the candidates. Considering that the two junior heads do not get on well we decided they could choose a friend to also stay with them."

The four looked up at their headmaster increduously. He really had lost his marbles this time. No doubt about it that was for sure. He gestured for the four to follow him out of the hall. They all followed without a word. They walked for a good half hour silently before Dumbledore stopped outside a potrait of a young girl about the age of 8.

"Password?" she asked politely. Dumbledore smiled at her warmly.

"I Like Fluffy pink bunny rabbits." he said proudly. Blaise and Draco both choked on the air whilst Ginny and Hermione lapsed into a silent fit of giggles. Dumbledore chuckled.

"The password can be changed once a month."

And with that he disappeared along the corridor. Malfoy went to walk through the potrait to walk straight into it. He cursed as he fell backwards again as Giny and Hermione laughed even harder. Blaise snorted and Malfoy looked murderous. He looked up at the girl in the painting who giggled lightly.

"Sorry. I only stay open for a maximum of 10 seconds unless someone is going through at the time. Password?"

Malfoy gaped at her. He couldn't believe it.

"One of you two can say the password cause I sure as hell ain't." he said gesturing at the girls. Hermione shook her head and looked at Ginny still giggling.

"I can't seem to remember the password Ginny. Can you?" she asked laughing. Ginny shook her head mischieviously.

"Nope sorry ferret. We can't seem to remember. Looks like one of you two will need to get us in there."

Malfoy and Blaise looked at each other.

"You can say it dude. I always thought you were more in touch with your feminine side." Blaise said. Hermione and Ginny started to laugh more loudly. Malfoy gaped at his so called best friend.

"I seem to remember that you were the one who used to put on your mums lipstick up until you were 7." he said. Blaise blushed as Hermione collapsed into Ginnys arms from laughing so hard. Malfoy smirked.

"You swore you would never tell! Well you were the one who used to parade around your manor in your mothers red bikinis and stilettos claiming you were Miss England. You even made yourself a pink sashy!"

Ginny dropped Hermione and fell to the ground aswell from laughing. Both were lying down clutching their sides.

"Oh yah and remember that time..." Blaise continued smirking.

"OKAY OKAY, I'll say the damn password." Malfoy said drowning Blaise out. He turned back to the painting of the little girl who was also hysterical from laughing.

"Ilikefluffypinkbunnyrabbits." he mumbled so that it was inaudible.

"I'm sorry I can't hear you." the little girl said.

"I like fluffy pink bunny rabbits." he said a little bit more loudly. The girl stuck a finger in her ear and twisted and pulled it out.

"I'm sorry sir I still can't hear-"

"I LIKE FLUFFY PINK BUNNY RABBITS!"

"Really Mister Malfoy, I'm sure you love them but no need to shout it to the school."

Malfoy whirled around to see Professor Snape behind him. His face flushed bright red as Hermione, Ginny and Blaise all fell about laughing. Snape smirked.

"Now Mister Malfoy and co. I suggest you get into your new living quarters before I dock points. Good night."

Malfoy growled and turned back to the potrait which to his surprise was still opened.

"You..." he started.

"I was kidding about the 10 second thing before." the little girl said laughing. Malfoy growled and stormed into the common room closely followed by a still laughing Blaise, Haermione and Ginny. They all looked around the common room. There was no denying it must be the most beautiful room in the entire school. Well maybe except the room of Requirement. It was based on golds and green which really did make a great combination. It was really large with big gold and green sink in armchairs and sofas with big mahogany work tables, a private library and doors leading to various rooms. It even had dorrs which lead straight into the four common rooms of the four houses. By the looks of it, there was two to a room because engraved above one was Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley and the other read Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini. Ginny lead Hermione to one side of the common room whilst Blaise and Draco stayed on the other. As far away from the other pair as possible. When Malfoy was sure that the other pair couldn't hear himm he started to speak to Blaise really quietly.

"I say we prank them both." he whispered quietly to Blaise. Blaise cast him an odd look before he continued.

"It's usually seventh years that have the prank war but now that I'm junior head I say we have one now." he explained. Blaise nodded understandingly.

"Yeah but won't we get in trouble?" Blaise asked unsure.

"By McGonagall yeah but the other teachers will probably find it amusing."

Blaise nodded. "So what's the plan then?"

"Well you see I was thinking..."

Meanwhile at the Other End of the Common Room

"Malfoy looks like he's up to something. And he looks happy about it. That can't be good." Ginny stated. Hermione looked over and realised that Ginny was right. Malfoy did look like he was up to an evil deed.

"I wouldn't worry about it. It's next year we gotta watch out. You know with the Prank War and all."

Ginny nodded. A few moments later she and Hermione went up into their dorm so that they had a little more privacy. It was just like the common room but with beds. After a few minutes Ginny decided to bring something up that had really been bugging her.

"Hermione, did something happen this summer? You seem a bit different. Not in a bad way or anything. You just seem to have a slight more carefree attitude. I've been asking you to be more laid back for years. Why the sudden change?"

Hermione looked down at her feet. It was true that she had changed since finding out about her adoption but she didn't think it would be noticable. She didn't even really know why she had changed that little bit. She wondered if she should tell Ginny about the adoption or not. She eventually decided it would be ok to tell 1 person. Besides she needed to get it off of her chest.

"Well there's just the little fact that I found out I'm adopted." she said meekly. Ginny nearly fainted.

"WHAT!" Ginny screamed.

"Shhh." Hermione whispered frantically before putting about a million silencing charms around her room.

"Ok so here is what happened..."

After finishing her story Ginny was left staring at her in awe. She then jumped up to hug her best friend.

Back to Blaise and Draco

"Draco have you gone flipping mad?" Blaise hissed. Malfoy chuckled. He had just explained to Blaise his plan for the prank. Frankly Blaise thought he was out of his mind.

"I think it's a good idea." Malfoy stated backing up his idea. Blaise stared at him like he had three heads.

"Yeah it's a good plan if 1. You want to be on Weasley and Grangers hitlist 2. If you want to be beaten to a pulp Potter and the male Weasley 3. If you want to live in the same common room that someone wants to kill you and 4. If you want the whole of the Gryffindor house grilling your ass."

Malfoy laughed.

"Well 1. I think I'm already number one on their hitlist. Well maybe 2 actually, I think Voldie beat me to that one. Although if we do this prank I might just beat him to it. 2. That wouldn't be unusual 3. Granger already wants me dead I think and 4. They all hate my blood anyway. I'm doing it no matter what you say. Are you in on it?"

Blaise bit his lip nervously. "Oh alright. I swear if they two come after me it won't just be the Gryffindors grilling your ass."

Malfoy laughed as they began to discuss how they would actually manage it.

2 AM

"I can't believe we did it." Malfoy said excitedly as he and Blaise stood outside their potrait door. "They should be waking up in about six hours. Just as everyone passes that way for breakfast."

Blaise laughed.

"Password?" the little girl in the painting asked. Blaise looked at Draco and burst out laughing. Draco grunted unhappily.

"I like fluffy pink bunny rabbits!"
