A/N-This is basically my first fanfic so it probably wont be the best but I'm trying so please review!
Also this story I think is pretty much dedicated to my friend Bridie K. (bridsta05)…Bridie, I really hope we can get over this all.
It was raining quite heavily when Harry, Ron and Hermione clambered into an empty carriage waiting to take them up to the Hogwarts castle. The schooling year had just begun and thousands of young witches and wizards were returning to what would be their home and school for yet another year. Over the summer, Harry and Hermione had spent their time living at the Burrow with the Weasleys. Both Harry and Hermione had grown particularly close to each other and after building up enough courage, Harry had asked her out, and of course Hermione said "yes."
Just as the carriage was beginning to move, Draco Malfoy came jogging towards it and jumped in just as it began to pick up speed.
"What the hell Malfoy!" Ron exclaimed in utter confusion.
"Shut up Weasel, all the other carriages have already gone," replied Malfoy "So Granger, I hear you got head girl."
"Yes I did but what's it to you?" asked Hermione.
"Well I just thought I'd check just so I would be certain who my new common room mate is," said Malfoy with a sarcastic tone.
"If you dare touch her Malfoy!" said Harry as he put his arm around Hermione, becoming extremely protective of his new girlfriend.
"Ooh, so Wonder boy and the mud blood are a couple now! Don't worry Potter, like I would ever want to go near her," spat Malfoy.
Luckily the carriage stopped at that moment right out side the entrance to the magnificent castle. Everyone piled out of the carriage and made their way up to the large oak doors, with Malfoy running off to join his friends who where standing in a group off to the side. Once inside, Harry quickly pulled Hermione aside from the mountain loads of people who were gathering around everywhere and greeting their friends and exchanging stories of their holidays.
"Look Hermione, if Malfoy gives you any trouble, any trouble at all, just tell me and if you want, you can come and sleep in me and Ron's dorm," said Harry in a whisper.
"Harry I'm sure I'll be fine, we're only sharing a common room and a bathroom, I'll survive but thanks." Replied Hermione.
"Ok, if you're sure."
And with that, the two joined Ron who was talking to Nevil Longbottom about the subjects that each was taking this year.
The evening went on, just like any other evening would, it started out with the new headmaster Professor Lupin, addressing the school on certain matters, then the sorting hat recited it's annual poem, as usual it was about standing together to fight evil, then the first years were sorted and the feast began. Afterwards, Harry, Ron and Hermione left the Great Hall; Hermione went with them up to the portrait of the fat lady before giving Harry a goodnight kiss and heading towards the newly hung picture of the late Albus Dumbledore which was the entrance to her new common room. Just as Hermione was about to speak the password, Dumbledore began to speak.
"Good evening Miss Granger, it is absolutely lovely to see you, I always knew you would become head girl, I also noticed that Mr Malfoy made head boy, very interesting indeed, well all I can say is good luck and just try to get along," he chuckled as he spoke the last words before wishing Hermione a good night and swinging open to let her pass.
