A/n: To my TWO reviewers. thank you so much for reviewing. I know that my chapters are
VERY short but I will lengthen them. um... other than that I really don't have much to say
but...ON WITH THE CLICHE!
Disclaimer: I do not, will not, should not, and could not own harry potter in my life. but I
could enjoy writing meaningless articles on mimic stories like I do now.
CHP.4
The Golden Trio got off of the train as the rest of the Hogwarts students piled out from the
train and onto the Thestral drawn carriages. They found and empty carriage and got into it.
Ginny soon found her way into the carriage to along with Dean, Seamus, and Neville.
"Hey guys. Hope you all don't mind. Everywhere else is full." Dean said regretful because he
had to be in the same carriage as Harry.
"No. Not at all." Ron said with a strained look on his face. Harry and Hermione figured it was
from the fact that Dean and Ginny were in the corner holding hands. Suddenly Ron turned to
stare out the window, as if faced with any more of this open display of affection.
"Ron," Harry whispered. "It's not that bad. She could be with somebody much worse you
know. Like Malfoy or someone like him. You want her with a Slytherin? HUH? It's honestly
better with her and Dean."
"I know," He replied. "I would rather see her with someone I know is safe. Someone I know
will not try to pull anything. I'd rather see her with You."
"If only." Harry sighed. He had taken a liking to Ginny ever since the summer holiday's. " But
she won't be with me. Do you know why? Because she thinks I don't like her. But I do. I just
wish she could see that."
"But she does. Haven't you noticed?" Hermione piped in quietly. " She has liked you ever
since her first year. she just gave up on trying due to the fact that you never took an interest in
her before now. She really regrets being with Dean. She wishes with all her heart she could
find a nice way to break it off with him."
"How do you know all this?" Ron asked.
Hermione smiled. " Because Ginny told me. She told me a lot of things Ron." Hermione said
with a wink in his direction.
Ron smiled toothily at her."Right. So since you know everything about her, you won't mind
telling me whether Dean has pulled anything on her yet. You know, so I don't have to drag it
outta him tonight." He said with a returning wink.
" I absolutely refuse to tell you. That is her business and if she wished, You would have
already known by now."
"Oh. All right. Fine. I will just drag it out of him." He turned and he pouted.
"Hermione?" Harry asked.
"Yes?"
"Who, May I ask is-"
"Head Boy?" She said it for him.
"Yeah."
"Your gonna love it. It's Draco. But didn't you figure that out already? I thought it rather
obvious that Draco was Head Boy when he stopped by the compartment."
"Yeah. We thought that at first. But then we thought Dumbledore to be crazy if he had placed
him in that position. We just thought it was someone else, and Draco was getting you to suck
up to the Headmaster to give him the position instead."
"No he wasn't. But hey, did you notice how he called me Hermione instead of 'Mudblood'
and he didn't taunt you all?"
"Yeah we thought something was off. What was wrong with him? Not been getting any lately
has he?" Ron said with a laugh.
"He probably has but you shouldn't be saying anything Ron because Hermione and I both
know that you Haven't had any at all. So don't be joking." Harry said and Hermione and him
laughed.
"Ha Ha." Ron said with fake enthusiasm."Hilarious."
"Right Mate, Right." Harry said in between laughs.
The last first year sat down at the Ravenclaw tale as the applause faded.
"As you all know every year we have a new Head Boy and Girl. I am sure you are all
wondering who they are. Head Girl, Will you please stand up?"
Hermione rose in her seat as the applause once again escalated to and uproar. She smiled
and waved at select few before returning to her seat, blushing profusely.
As the claps died down Dumbledore spoke " And the Head Boy?" He said turning in Draco's
direction, "Please stand" Dumbledore started clapping.
Draco stood up and waved at some girls before sitting down and returned looking at the
Headmaster.
"Well you all know the rules. The Forbidden Forest is off-limits first years. Enjoy your year."
He said with a wave of his arm and all the food popped up on the table.
"Yum!" Ron said before burying his plate in loads of food.
Hermione and Harry turned to look at him before looking at each other and laughing.
This year, they thought would be a good year.
"Moochy Munchies." Hermione said to her Portrait of a Mermaid bathing on a rock.
"ooo! Hello! Are you the Head Girl this year?" She asked with a smile.
" Yess..." Hermione answered with an unsure look in her eyes.
"Have you seen the Head Boy? He's absolutely GORGEOUS."
"Right." Hermione laughed inside.
"Well. Have fun!" The mermaid Siad as Hermione climbed into the portrait.
The giant common room could probably fit all of Her house and more if she wanted. She
smiled at the thought of the parties she would soon throw. It was decorated in red and green
from head to toe. A giant fireplace lined the wall to the left and a huge bookcase was on the
wall to the right. Pictures of past Heads lined the walls. Hermione smiled as she knew she
would soon be up there. A window was placed on the farther side of the room facing a lake.
"Lovely" she said with a sigh. She glanced to her right noticing a door that was silver, and
assumed that it was Draco's. She walked up to it and knocked.
"Who is it?" a gloomy voice asked from inside the door.
"It's Hermione. Just checking to see who's room this was. Sorry to interrupt." she said as she
turned on her heel and began to walk away. Suddenly she her the door she had just walked
away from open.
"Wait." He said to her.
She turned around and looked at his sad face.
"Yea...?" She asked with as much kindness as she could, without letting her guard down first.
" I just... wanted to thank you for the hospitality on the train today.It meant a lot. I am sorry I
was so rude." He said quietly. Hermione swore she saw a look of greif pass over his face.
" Oh. No. It's okay... I am sorry for being so intrusive. I was just making sure you were
okay. You know, you can come to me anytime if you need help..." She offered.
"Yea, I know..." He trailed off.
They stood there for a while in silence. It looked as if Draco was debating something in his
own mind. and for some odd reason, Hermione was curious to know what..
"I should be going. I have to make a few phone calls before bed. Goodnight Draco." She said
before turning, once again, on her heel and leaving.
" I want you to help me..." He said her retreating back. He looked up and sighed. He
turned and went to turn on his radio.
The sound of Hoobastank's 'Right Before Your Eyes' came out of his radio.
When the door shuts, don't worry about me
It's not attention that I want from you
I need you to trust who I'm gonna be
And in everything I'm going to do
Cause I'm not afraid of what I don't know
For understanding is all that I earn
But what is for sure is I'm going to go
I'm going to live and I'm going to learn
And I know there will be mistakes that I will make
But I know none are worse than chances I don't take, take
Right before your eyes, I am changing
Changing
You laugh on the inside, I am changing
Changing
When the door shuts, it shuts finally
A new person that I have become
I'll follow my heart to my destiny
Living in fear and the sorrow is done
There will be no more feeling that I'm all alone
I will surround myself with things that help me grow
Right before your eyes I am changing
Changing
You laugh on the inside, I am changing
Changing
Right before your eyes I am changing
Changing
You laugh on the inside, I am changing
Changing
Right before your eyes I am changing
Changing
You laugh on the inside, I am changing
Changing
Right before your eyes
Right before your eyes
Hermione stopped as she heard the music come on and listened to the lyrics.' Oh my god.
