Chapter Two: On The Train
"Bye mum, bye dad! I'll miss you!" Hermione waved from the train.
Once she finished saying her goodbyes she set off for the compartment she shared with Harry, Ron and Ginny each year.
"MIONE! WHERE WERE YOU! WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER!" Harry, Ron and Ginny all surrounded her in a large hug. "Hi guys." Hermione answered. "Wow Mione, you've changed a lot over the summer!" Ron exclaimed while, as Hermione noticed, he was looking somewhere besides her face. "RON!" she gasped, crossing her arms over her chest. Hermione then realized that someone else was occupying the compartment. A tall, slim girl with deep brown curls and emerald green eyes stood up and held out her hand.
"So you're Hermione huh? Harry, Ron and Ginny were telling me all about you. I'm Tenisha Maddison. I was home schooled for the past five years so I'm new to Hogwarts. I'm a sixth year."
"Nice to meet you Tenisha. As you know I'm Hermione Granger, but my friends call me Mione, and I'm a seventh year, as well as Head Girl for this year." Hermione explained, shaking Tenisha's hand.
"Oh yeah, my friends call me Tisha (tee-sha)." Tenisha added.
Suddenly the compartment door slid open and who should walk in but Draco Malfoy, the sworn enemy of Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny, accompanied by his two cronies Crabbe and Goyle. "Nisha! What are you doing here with the-boy-who-lived-to-be-a-bastard, weasel, mudblood and weaslette! I warned you not to spend any time with them!" he growled madly as he gripped her wrist firmly and attempted to drag her out of the compartment.
"Sod off Draco! I can sit with and befriend anyone I damn well want to! So leave me alone and stop acting like an over-protective git!" she screamed, slapping him across the face. Draco stopped and blinked. Then he slowly brought his hand up to his cheek where there was now a bright scarlet handprint. He turned back to face her angrily and yelled, "HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU SLAP A MALFOY AND SIT WITH A MUDBLOOD! YOU FILTHY LITTLE BLOOD TRAITOR!" and with that he stormed off.
"We're sorry he picks on you guys. We'll go and try to calm him down." Goyle apologized as Crabbe nodded along in agreement. They shut the compartment door and ran after Malfoy. Everyone looked shocked. "That was weird! They usually laugh along with everything he says to us…" Harry said, looking at the floor snickering.
"Attention! Will this years' Head Boy and Girl please report to compartment 7a2!" (didn't know what to put so don't bug me about it!)
"Well guys, I gotta go, nice meeting you Nisha and I hope you become a Gryffindor like us! Bye!" Hermione was relieved that she could finally find out who the Head Boy badge was given to. Her perspective soon changed when she walked into the compartment though. Sitting down reading 'Moste Potente Potions' was none other than Draco. He peered up at her and glared she sat next to him because Professors McGonagall and Dumbledore were seated opposite him.
"Ahhh, Miss Granger. Lovely. Now we shall begin." Professor Dumbledore smiled. "Now for this year as Head Boy and girl, the two of you, coming from rival houses, shall help to promote inter-house unity. So therefore, the two of you shall be sharing living accommodations." He explained. Hermione and Draco stared at each other with pure hatred.
"Now Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy, we are asking that the two of you try to become more civil to one another and TRY not to kill each other at any point in this year! The LAST thing Hogwarts needs is for the Head Boy and Girl to end up dead halfway through the year!" McGonagall sighed, "You two shall be planning all events this year TOGETHER along with trips to Hogsmeade and a talent show sometime in April. One last thing, if the two of you get into one argument, whether in the corridors, in class or during a meeting, your positions will be taken away and handed to Miss Brown and Mr. Weasley." She warned.
"Thank you Professor McGonagall. Now Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy, after the feast tonight, I must ask you to stay behind and wait for me to show you where your common room is located. And do not worry, you WILL NOT be sharing a room or bathroom, only a common room, dining room, kitchen, study and library. Now you should be getting back to your compartments to change into your robes and explain to your classmates and friends why exactly you will be absent from your house dormitories. I'm glad we were able to have this little chat. You may go now." Professor Dumbledore concluded.
Hermione and Draco merely nodded and left. "I can't believe I have to share a common room with a mudblood!" Draco said after shutting the compartment door and turning to Hermione. "Well I can't believe that I'll have to live and organize events with a bouncing ferret! God Malfoy, you're not the only one upset about this! Clearly McGonagall and I are just as upset as you are about this! Probably even more so! I don't think you're the one that was tormented and called disrespectful names by the hottest guy in school for the past six years!" Hermione screeched back.
She gasped. 'Did I just say what I think I said! Please God tell me he didn't pick up on that!'
Draco raised a pale blond eyebrow. "The hottest guy in school huh? Why thank you Hermione! Maybe I underestimated your taste in guys after all!" he chuckled and walked off.
'Oh My God! He heard! Wait a sec, he called me Hermione….. That's weird… Oh well, I just hope he doesn't tell anyone!'
"Well I guess I'll figure out once we get to Hogwarts…" and she murmured, still staring after Draco blushing.
