"Harry, is that really you...?" Hermione asked, still in shock from what she saw...

"Have I really changed that much? Come on...give me a hug!" while saying that, Harry walked up to Hermione and gave her a big hug...

Hermione tried to ignore that he changed so much, and they talked for hours. They talked about the holidays, and about what they would be doing and looking forward to in the upcoming year... When she found out she was assigned Headgirl, she was SO excited! She was positive this would mean spending more time with Ron or Harry. She couldn't imagine anyone else getting the position. Boy, was she wrong...

"And, the Headboy will be...Draco Malfoy"

Hermione was shocked. She didn't understand what she had done to deserve this. "Darn, I'm gonna be stuck with that MUD-BLOOD all year?" you could hear Draco yelling across the room. They were both not looking forward to the year at all...

Once she got to her room, she saw Draco sitting on the couch in the main room. "Well well well, if it isn't Granger" he hissed. "Malfoy, leave me alone!" she yelled as she ran into her room. She sat on her bed. Then he came back into her mind. Harry. He had gone from being an adorable little boy to a VERY attractive teenager. His voice had deepened, and he had an AMAZING body. Hermione thought she could sit and look at it ALL day. But there was only one problem - they were best friends, and that was all they would ever be. She knew Harry didn't see her as more than a buddy. Still, she couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like if they liked each other as more than friends. She went to bed thinking that.

Meanwhile, Harry and Ron were sitting next to each other on Harry's bed.

"Did you see how much she's changed, Ron? I mean, she's like, a grown up now!" Harry hadn't been able to stop talking about Hermione all night. It was driving Ron crazy. "If you like her so much, as her out!"

But no, Harry knew he couldn't do that. Before the holiday break, Harry and Ginny had promised each other that they would go out when they got back. That was when Harry was madly inlove wth Ginny. But, he couldn't help but think about how beautiful Hermione had gotten.

The next morning, when Hermione got up, she walked out of her room to find a horrible suprise. "Morning mud-blood" She had hoped it had all been a dream, but no it hadn't. She was really sharing a commen room with Malfoy.

"You know, it really is sweet..." He said with a smug look on his face.. "what is?" Hermione asked...

"The whole business about you and none other than..."
