AN: Please review! This is my first story. I'm writing it with my two friends.

Hermione's POV

As Hermione teetered on the edge of the tower, about to fall, she felt strong arms wrap around her pulling her close. For some reason she felt safe and secure. She turned around to look at her rescuer.

"Malfoy!" She shrieked and pushed herself away from him, almost causing her to fall of the tower again. Malfoy smiled eerily at her, his grey eyes dark and foreboding.

Hermione woke up, covered in sweat and instantly recalled her dream. 'Why Malfoy?' She thought. 'Why did I have to dream of him?' She shook her head to get rid of these thoughts of Ferret boy.

She stretched and looked around her room. As usual her mother had come in early and opened her curtains, so that the morning light was streaming in through the window. It light up her shrine to Lord Voldemort. She didn't know why but she just felt a strange connection to him. Harry would die if he found out that his best friend secretly wanted to be a death-eater.

As she made to get up, she disturbed Crookshanks; who had been sleeping on the end of her bed. He hissed at her, then got up slowly, stretched and went back to sleep.

"Lazy thing." Hermione laughed.

"'Mione! Breakfasts ready! Oh and there's an owl down here for you." Her mother called up to her from the bottom of the stairs.

"I'm coming!" She called back.

After she had showered and gotten dressed she looked in the mirror. She had changed a lot over the holidays. Her hair was straight now with honey coloured streaks. She couldn't wait to see how her friends would react! 'Wait Ron isn't my friend at the moment. I still can't believe that Ron dumped me!' Her good mood quickly abated when she thought of this.

"'Mione! Are you coming to breakfast? Her mother yelled at her.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll be right down!"

'I wonder who the owls from….maybe it's my letter from Hogwarts?' Hermione smiled to herself as she walked into the kitchen. 'I can't wait to get back there, I wonder who the heads are?' As Hermione entered the kitchen a tawny brown owl flew over to her and stuck out it's leg.

"Alright, alright, calm down!" 'Yes! It's my letter from Hogwarts!'

Hermione slowly opened the letter….

"MUM, DAD! I GOT HEAD GIRL!" Hermione was so pleased. All her hard work had finally paid off.

"Well done 'Mione!" her father cried.

"Ohh, my little angel's growing up!" Her mother laughed and hugged her. But at the same time Hermione detected a hint of sadness in her mothers voice.

The rest of Hermione's morning was normal. After eating breakfast she owled Harry to tell him about HG. She decided not too owl Ron, as she was still annoyed with him. Then she contemplated about what she was going to do that year. 'sigh if there's one thing I want to get this year, it's a boyfriend. Viktor didn't really count, and Ron wasn't even straight. (AN: Get your mind out of the gutter!) Who'd want to go out with me though? I'm just the know it all know-it-all bookworm mudblood!' For some reason at this thought she burst out crying. (AN: I blame it on PMS) She knew she was being unreasonable – there were probably lots of guys out there that would want to go out with her, especially with her new 'look'.

After she had stoped crying she went down stairs and ate a whole two blocks of chocolate (AN: I told you it was PMS). She felt a bit better after that.

Draco POV

"YES! I'M HEAD BOY!

Draco had just received his letter telling him he was head boy.

'I wonder who made Head Girl? I hope it wasn't that mudblood. I bet it is.'

"AAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHsqueakHHHHHH!"

Draco's testosterone loaded voice echoed throughout the whole manor.

Fortunately, the Malfoy parents were out duelling (AN: And losing) with Harry Potter (AN: As usual). So Draco did not have to put up with them teasing him. He only had to put up with Aunt Bellatrix trying to hex him for being such a goody-goody. Draco's life was going down the drain.

Hermione POV

Hermione was downstairs (AN: Eating chocolate again) thinking about her life when her parents came up to her. Their faces seemed troubled and it looked as if they were trying to hide something.

"Mum, what is it?" 'It doesn't have anything to do with Crookshanks does it? OMG my poor little cat!' "Is it Crookshanks?"

"No." 'Thank god.'

Her mother burst into tears, gave her a letter and ran into her bedroom. Her father followed muttering "PMS" under his breath. The door slammed behind them.

'I wonder what it says? Do not open until you get to Hogwarts?' Her mother could still be heard bawling her eyes out. 'Oh Gee. The most emotional conflict of her life and she had to wait till tomorrow.'

Hermione ran upstairs to her room to write a list of what to do when she gets to Hogwarts.

READ THE LETTER!

Prove to the whole school that Harry is cheating on Ginny with Ron.

Hex Malfoy so that his teeth turn red… or worse… dye his HAIR red and gold and shave a 'G' in it. (AN: G for Gryffindor)

Come top in everything (AN: Nerd)

She couldn't think of anything else so she lay on her bed and thought (AN: And ate chocolate). 'Oh, there's a new family moving in next door today. Mum thinks they're wizards, probably not a Pureblood family. I wonder if they have kids?'

Draco POV

"Draco my darling!" Shrieked Pansy as she hurtled towards Draco as he came out of the bathroom only half dressed.

Draco squealed (AN: Like a girl) and apparated into his room. He immediately placed an anti-apparation ward on it. Draco's breathing was fast and shallow. He didn't like Pansy very much. (AN: UNDERSTATEMENT!)

Suddenly his Dark Mark started burning. As he tried to apparate, he remembered the ward and only just removed it in time to escape Pansy who had climbed in through the window.

He appeared in The Riddle Manor. Seated in front of him in a high backed chair was the most feared wizard in the world…Lord Voldemort...

AN: Hahahahaha, cliffie! Plz review, it'd be much appreciated. The chapters so far have been short; the next one will be longer though…. I hope….
