Chapter 2
Hermione said goodbye to her parents the morning of September 1st, got into a taxi with her trunk and Crookshanks, waving to her parents until they were no longer in sight. When they reached King's Cross she eagerly smoothed out her t-shirt and jeans before climbing out to collect her trunk. Carrying Crookshanks, and carting her trunk, she made her way through the crowd to platform 9 and ¾, sliding through the barrier unobtrusively. Once through she could see the faming red hair of the Weasly family, and the dark hair of Harry Potter.
Grinning she ran up to Harry and flung her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly before moving on to Ron, Ginny, and the rest of the Weaslys.
"Hey Granger! Why don't you bring that body over here and give me a special hug?" a cold, drawling voice called out. Hermione looked around for the owner of the voice, but she couldn't see them through the bustling crowd of kids and parents, saying goodbye for the year. Not that she needed to see who it was anyway. She already knew. His voice tormented her at night. Tormented and irritated her during the day for the past six years. "I'm not going to put up with him this year," she announced, "this year I'm Head Girl, and I can make sure he toes the line." Harry, Ron and Ginny let out a whoop. "I can't believe we're in our last year," said Ron, "it seems like we were in first year only yesterday! Doesn't it?" Hermione and Harry agreed just as the train whistle announced that the scarlet Hogwarts Express would be leaving shortly. Everyone said their goodbyes and climbed aboard the train.
"C'mon Hermione, there's an open compartment here," said Harry.
"Sorry guys," she replied, "I'm supposed to go to the Head's Compartment at the back for instructions, maybe I'll be able to come up sometime later."
"Ok 'Moine," Ginny said, winking, "good luck with the Head Boy!"
Hermione grinned and lugged her trunk and cat back toward the Heads Compartment, not entirely sure where it was. At the very back of the train there was door with silver lettering on it that said, "Head's Compartment" Well, I guess this is obvious enough, she thought, sliding open the door, a cold voice greeted her.
"What are you doing here Granger? This is the HEAD'S Compartment. Only the Head Boy and Girl are allowed in here. Leave, now, and maybe I'll forgive you."
"Shut it, ferret-boy," she shot back, obviously touching a nerve, as Malfoy went slightly pink in the cheeks, "I am obviously a Head also, but I'm really wondering how on Earth YOU managed to become a Head."
"It's because I'm so devilishly charming, of course," Malfoy replied with his trademark smirk, "though I can't believe I have to share a dormitory with a filthy mudblood, you better make this worth my while."
"What are you talking about! WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE HAVE TO SHARE A DORM!" Hermione asked furiously, but was only met with the same smirk, as Malfoy didn't say a word, just stared at her. The compartment door slid open then, and Professor McGonagall walked in.
"Professor! Am I really expected to share a dorm with THAT!"
"Hey! I have a name!"
"Shut It, Malfoy!"
"Be QUIET, both of you!" McGonagall said in a dangerous tone, "Now take a seat so I can explain a few things. First of all, I would like to extend my congratulations once again to both of you for making Head Boy and Girl," Hermione looked, from her precarious perch on a white wingback chair, to Draco Malfoy, who was lounging on a white sofa, smirking at her, she looked back up at McGonagall quickly, "Now, your duties. Each night the two of you will patrol the halls between 9:00 and Midnight. You are to watch the students, and take away house points as needed, informing the heads of the students houses, when and why. You are to set a good example for the other stude-Mr. MALFOY! WOULD YOU PLEASE PAY ATTENTION! As I was saying.. You will be expected to provide a good example for the other students, and I would ask you to keep your fighting and bitter words in your own dorm, if at all possible. And lastly, yes, you will be sharing a dormitory. You will share a common room, a kitchenette, a library, and a bathroom, but you will have your own rooms. After the feast, please remain behind, so I may show you to your room and get you settled in. Now, please change into your robes, we shall be arriving shortly, and make sure your Head's badge is clearly visible." With that she walked out, closing the door behind herself.
Hermione sighed and dug through her trunk for her school robes. As she pulled them up from the bottom of the trunk, something else fell on the floor, right at Draco's feet. He reached down and held up a thong. "Drop something Granger?" he asked smirking. Hermione blushed bright red and snatched the thong out of Malfoy's hands, shoving it back down into her trunk. She looked up to see Malfoy grinning. "I-I'm going to go change in the restroom, you can change in here," she said, hurrying to the door, but it wouldn't budge. Words became visible on the glass, like ice, saying, 'The two of you shall be locked in her for the remainder of the journey, no one else will be allowed in, nor will either of you be allowed out.' "Oh Hell!" Hermione cursed, "What are we supposed to do now!" It dawned on her, they'd have to change in here, "oh hell…"
"Well, Well. Now, don't you look at me Granger, I know I'm incredibly hot, but I don't want some mudblood ogling me. You go change over there," Draco said, pointing, watching, as Hermione blushed pink again.
She walked over to a corner of the compartment and looked back at Malfoy, just to make sure he wasn't peeking, but only saw that he too had his back turned to her and was undressing, she whipped her head back, yelling at herself for thinking about how he would look beneath those robes. She changed quickly, finishing the same time as Draco, sat down in the chair and pulled out A Standard Book of Spells: Grade 7 By Miranda Goshawk, and began rereading it for the third time. The rest of the train ride passed quickly without another word being spoken between Hermione and Draco.
