A/N: Okay here is the 2nd chapter, it should pick up a little. I also check for spelling and grammar errors more because they drive me nuts, sorry if I missed any.

Thank you- Starbryte234, Dohu, The Stump, Jasmijn, and HiddenPortrait for your reviews, I will take into consideration all the pointers you gave and let me know if you still like the story once I get into it.

Also, I do plan to make this a D/Hr story, it will just take a little bit for the build up. There will also be other ships, I just haven't decided yet. Let me know what you guys want because I am not like a die hard fan of any other ship besides a Dramione one, so I will write what you guys like, if you want other characters to get together or if you jsut want it all simply platonic.

I also figured I would go more into the Harry defeating Voldemort in later chapters, just not now. After reading the chapter again and starbryte's review, I figured it would be better, besides I figured a way I could intertwine it with the story.

Anyway, on with the chapter.

CHAPTER 2

"So Hermione, are you Head Girl?" asked a curious Ron.

"No," answered Hermione.

"What, why not, you are like the smartest witch in the school and almost everyone likes you, you would've been perfect," stated Harry.

"I was asked over the summer, but I declined. I wanted to enjoy this year without the stress of being Head Girl. Being asked was enough," answered Hermione.

Just then, the sorting hat broke into song and sorted all the first years and afterwards Dumbledore went into his before school announcement.

"As you all know, the Forbidden Forest, is forbidden. If you have any of the Weasley Twins products please use them wisely and take into consideration majority of them are banned, so do not use those," said Dumbledore, his blue eyes twinkling. "Also, I would like to welcome back Professor Lupin as our new DADA teacher. Also, I would like to announce our new Head Girl and Boy. Please congratulate Sam Miller of Ravenclaw and Neville Longbottom of Gryffindor. Now that announcements have been made, let the feast begin."

With that, everyone dug into their foods as if there wouldn't be more once the plate was empty, which was not true, food never ran out. "Draco isn't it great, the mudblood didn't get Head Girl," said Pansy, "we can still make fun of her and tease her and she can't do anything about it."

"Pansy, did you not listen, Longbottom is a friend of hers, he will make sure we stay in line or report it to Dumbledore or McGonagall."

"Damn." A long pause followed. 'Hopefully she will stop talking thought Draco.

"Draco," asked Pansy.

'Argh, if only,' he thought. "WHAT!"

"No need to be all moody, I just wanted to ask you a question."

"Well, I am trying to eat in peace and your constant ramblings are not helping that peace-enduced place I am trying to reach!"

"Oh, well, anyways," she continued totally oblivious to his aggravation and not wanting to talk to her, "why didn't you get head boy? You are like way smarter than Granger and you're so hot, all the girls would do what you want. Besides, you are way better than Longbottom."

"Pansy, I don't know why and frankly I don't care. Now leave me so I can eat," with that he turned to his food and quickened his pace, hopefully to finish before Pansy and leave without her.

------------------------------------------------------

Over at the Gryffindor table, everyone sat congratulating Neville on being Head Boy. He had changed since he first started Hogwarts, he now was more out going and not as forgetful, but still forgetful, but now could remember the password without the aid of paper or constantly asking. He also does quite well in his studies and was friends with almost everyone in the school (well if you exclude all the Slytherins), but he had lost his fear of them, he just didn't like them.

"Congrats Neville," said Hermione.

"Thanks. I was hesitant at first, but then I thought I could really help the school by doing this."

"Well, I think you will do a great job." Turning to Harry and Ron she asked, "So guys what do you think is gonna happen this year? No Voldemort or anything to take up our time, what will we do with our lives?"

"Oh I am sure we can still find ways to get in trouble," answer Harry jokingly.

"I don't doubt it. It is our one true life calling," said Ron.

"Well, why don't we wait a while before we pick it up. School is gonna be hell with NEWTS and all, and I plan to pass them all," said Hermione.

"And you will. You do plan to have fun right 'Mione?" aksed Ron.

"Of course, with you guys for best friends, how could I not? Anyways, I think I will head for bed, I am tired and all. See you guys tomorrow." With that Hermione got up and went to her quarters.

----------------------------------------------------

Back at the Slytherin table, Draco was having his fill of Pansy annoyingness.

"Drakey, what are you doing tonight?" asked Pansy with a pumpkin juice mustache.

'Hopefully avoiding you.' "I am going to bed early," stated Draco. 'Argh, she looks pathetic with that mustache stain, can't she tell she has one?'

"Do you want company?" asked Pansy, still with the pumpkin juice mustache on her upper lips.

'Nnnnoooo!' "NO Pansy, I want to go to bed!"

"Well, we should get used to sleeping next to each other since we will be married by Christmas break since both you and I will 18," she said in a dreamy tone.

"Pansy," Draco said through clenched teeth about ready to lose his temper, "we are not getting married. Since my parents are gone and therefore have no control over my choice of women and marriage I saw it with to break off the engagement they made."

"But Drakey, don't you love me?"

'No, never could, not even if I was paid-well not like it would matter, but no, nothing could make me love you fat cow,' Draco thought angerly. "No, now don't bug me anymore, and you got a pumpkin juice mustache, how can you even think of being my wife when you can't even avoid stains on your face and then not even clean yourself up." With that he got up and hurried to his quarters.

"Well, Pansy, you're getting smoother everytime. Maybe tomorrow Draco will actually stay through the whole meal," said Blaise.

"Shut up Blaise. You're just jealous because I don't want to spend my time with you," countered Pansy.

"Of Pansy, you burn me," he said putting his hands against his chest and in a mocking tone he constinued, "what could I do to have you idolize and annoy me to the brinks of insanity like you do to Draco? Actually better yet, don't. Pansy, I don't like you. Draco doesn't like you. Hell I don't think anyone likes you."

"Like, I said Blaise, you're just jealous."

"Shucks, now how am I gonna overcome my jealousy," said Blaise.

"Don't worry Blaise, I can't help my good looks and charming personality. It's not your fault you were enthralled by my beauty and charm. But, I am sorry to say I have to stay with Draco, he is my one true love. But don't worry I am sure eventually your heart will heal and you will find a lovely girl to be with," she said in an all-serious tone, believing Blaise was seriously enamored with her.

"Now I must go, I need my beauty rest to look my best," she said and left the table.

'Oh god, how thick can one person be? I thought Crabbe and Goyle were bad, but that was pathetic. What a stupid cow, poor Draco, I actually pity him. Beauty sleep, even if she slept for eternity she couldn't improve her looks. I better make sure Pansy is leaving him alone, I don't want to deal with a crabby Draco," and with that Blaise left.

END OF CHAPTER

Yes, yes I know, not a lot of trio action. I couldn't really think of anything to include, but my ideas for next chapter should include a lot of trio-goodness, so please bear with me. Also I didn't feel like actually doing a sorting ceremony, hope you don't mind and all.

Sam Miller is also my own character. I am not sure if I will actually include her throughout the story, I might, not sure, I just couldn't think of any girl that would be Head Girl when I was writing this.

Yes, I know if is short, but I wanted to put a chapter out before I went out. I should have another one up later to make up for it.

I also plan to add in some language (like damn, bloody hell, stuff like that), nothing to bad, so just thought I would let you know and if you have anything against it, I'm sorry, but they are like 17, they are probably cussing by now.

So yeah, please review and let me know what you think. The next chapter should pick up and start going from there. Action will be happening soon.
