Chapter 1

"Draco and Hermione, follow me.", Snape snapped as soon as they were off the train.

"Oh great", Hermione thought, "Malfoy is head boy, this is gonna suck."

"Granger is head girl, what a great way to spend my last year.", Draco thought sarcastically.

The pair followed Snape in silence, each contemplating how they were going to put up working with the other for the rest of the year. Hermione looked at Draco out of the corner of her eye he had changed since last year, looked like he had worked out and been in the sun a lot, he had a great tan.

At the same time Draco was looking Hermione over, she had finally done something about her hair, which now fell straight and halfway down her back.

"All right", Snape said stopping in front of a portrait of Sir Cadegon. "As much as it pains me to say this the headmaster has decided that the head boy and girl will be sharing living quarters this year. Mr. Malfoy your room is on the left and Mrs. Granger yours is on the right, the bathroom is in the center. There is an entrance here-"

"Oh no", Hermione groaned, "he's not guarding the entrance is he?", she asked gesturing to Sir Cadegon.

"Yes he is", Snape replied then muttered something under his breath that sounded suspiciously like 'unfortunately'. "As I was saying, there are entrances here and in each of the houses in the event that you are needed. You are both expected at dinner in fifteen minutes. The password at the moment is, 'never surrender'."

At this Draco snorted and Hermione just flat out started laughing. Snape ignored them both and left.

"Aye fight you bloody ruffians come on fight.", Sir Cadegon started in before Hermione had stopped laughing.

"Never surrender", Draco said and the portrait slid aside with the subject of it still dishing out threats.

Draco stepped through followed closely by Hermione. The room they entered, the common room, was not huge but for only two people it was relatively vast. It had a fireplace with chairs on either side, facing each other, but back a little and a couch even further back between the two chairs. There was a table in the center and three doors, one with a gold banner above it, one with a silver banner, and the one in the middle with a lion and a serpent intertwined.

"Charming", Draco muttered dryly.

Hermione ignored him and went to inspect her room. It was a fairly good size and had a double bed with the head pushed against the far wall, the bed had gold hangings with red sheets. There was also a desk, closet, dresser, and a vanity, which she doubted she would be using. In the middle of her bed a large orange ball of fur was already sleeping peacefully.

"Crookshanks you are impossible.", she said scooping up the cat and burying her face in his fur, to which he purred in reply then jumped out of her arms and back onto the bed. She went back out into the common room where Draco was sitting on the couch starring off into space. Without any acknowledgment of the other they both left for the Great Hall, where the sorting ceremony was about to begin.

"Where were you Herm?", Ron asked as soon as she sat down across from him and Harry.

"Had to see my new room.", she replied, not able to hide the fact that she didn't like the arrangement.

"What new room?", Harry asked.

"Dumbledore decided that the head boy and girl would share quarters and that means I'm stuck with Malfoy for the rest of the year.", she said with a sigh.

"That git! How in the hell did he get to be head boy?" Ron asked.

"I don't know but either way I have to deal with him, the brat." Hermione said with an air of determination.

"Attention", Dumbeldore said as he clapped his hands together, "a few start-of-school announcements: First off, the Forbidden Forest is as always Forbidden, hence the name. Our new head boy this year is Draco Malfoy." At this there was some applause, mainly from the Slytherin table. "And our new head girl is Hermione Granger." The Gryffindor table cheered loudly, as did most of the Huffelpuffs and Ravenclaws. "Now since there are no other announcements let the feast begin." With his final statement the plates and goblets filled and the feast started.

"Oh Drakie is it awful?", Pansy asked for about the fiftieth time since Dumbledore had announced that Hermione was head girl. Once again Draco tried to ignore her existence to no avail.

"You can come to my room after this and we can forget all about stupid Granger.", Pansy said while energetically rubbing the inside of his thigh.

"I don't think so Pansy.", he said while shifting so her hand fell on the bench and not his leg.

"Come on Drakie, it'll be fun just like always.", she cooed.

Draco didn't bother replying, just stood up and walked out back to his room.

After dinner, Hermione reluctantly returned to the common room, to find that Draco wasn't there. "Must be in his room", she thought, "good, at least I don't have to deal with him tonight." She was about to get ready for a shower when Professor Mcgonagall and Snape entered the room. "Mrs. Granger, where is Mr. Malfoy?", McGonagall asked. "I guess he's in his room, I just got back.", Hermione replied. "Severus will you please retrieve the head boy?", McGonagall asked. Snape said nothing but proceeded to get Draco from his room. When they returned, McGonagall proceeded to outline the duties of being head boy and girl and lay down rules. Hermione assumed Snape was there merely because Malfoy was in his house.

After the two professors left, "You heard what they said, Granger, no pawing at me," Draco drawled, mainly to agitate her, knowing full and well that she had no intention of doing so.

"As if I would get that desperate," she replied then spun around to go take a shower.

Draco watched her disappear into the bathroom then stood there for a few minutes before going back to his room to finish up the summer work he had been to lazy to do over the break.

Hermione sat in the tub thinking about recent events, most of the thoughts being something like: 'how in the world did I get stuck with him being head boy?'. Finally after almost an hour she got up and pulled on her pjs, boxers and a tank top, and started back to her room.

"Ya know, no matter how long you spend in there it's not gonna help.", came a voice from the couch as soon as Hermione exited the bathroom.

"Shut up", she snapped, "I don't care if you are head boy I'm not going to put up with your crap this year so you can shut up, or risk something very, very bad happening to you in your sleep.", With that Hermione slammed the door to her room before Draco could reply.

"Wow, not what I was expecting from nice quiet little Granger", Draco thought when what she had said finally retired. "Oh well plenty of time to keep pushing and see if she does it again.", he thought before returning to his room to sleep.
