She couldn't believe it. She reached inside her bag and retrieved the letter, rereading it for what must have been the hundredth, no thousandth time since she received it;

Miss Granger,

We are pleased to inform you that you are prefect again. Please remember that you are to uphold the rules and maintain a good example for the younger students. Though it is not usually done, both Mr. Weasley and Mr. Potter are Prefects for Gryffindor as well, while the rest of the houses only have two prefects a piece, the Headmaster and I agree that it is perhaps best that Gryffindor has three. Though Professor Snape has a few things to say about it being the three of you, I am sure you can see why. In the case that you, Mr. Weasley, and Mr. Potter do go on another adventure as we'll call it, we do have backups which seemed to calm Professor Snape a bit. Congratulations on your O.W.L.s. Enclosed is a list of school supplies that you will need. Please make certain that you, Mr. Weasley, and Mr. Potter make it to the meeting on the train. Enjoy the rest of your summer and I will see you on September 1st.

Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Head of House for Gryffindor

Hermione was so happy. Of course she wasn't all that surprised, she was prefect last year, but that didn't dim the happiness. She picked up her quill and wrote to Harry.

"Great, another year with the Mudblood," Draco said. He knew it was to be expected, but that didn't mean he had to like it. He hated Granger, and nothing would ever change that.

To bad for him, he had no idea what the teachers held in store for them this year.

September 1st

Hermione got onto the train with Harry and Ron and pulled them to the Prefect's compartment. Alicia Spinnet and a Ravenclaw by the name of Roger Samuels was Head Girl and Head Boy.

"Hermione relax. We'll make the meeting." Harry said as Hermione pulled on his arm. Hermione turned to look at him, not slowing down in the least.

"My letter told me to get you and Ron to the meeting and that-Oh!" Hermione had been interrupted when she abruptly ran into someone.

"Watch it Mudblood." The cold, familiar voice said dripping with hatred. Hermione, who had been getting her stuff off the ground stood so quickly that she hit Draco with the top of her head.

"So sorry you heinous." She said curtsying mockingly. "Wasn't watching where I was going."

Draco was momentarily stunned. She had changed over the summer. Her hair wasn't as bushy and her body had filled out in the right places. Her eyes were flashing with anger and mockery. He couldn't help but notice…

"Is that Make-up Granger? Trying to impress someone?" he said.

"Of course, sir. You see I knew I would see you this year and decided to press my feminine wiles onto you. I knew you couldn't resist. And I was right, otherwise you would have stormed away. You are so handsome" here Hermione started to press herself closer to the stunned Draco. "I have decided that you and I will make an amazing couple, Draco." She whispered seductively. She was about an inch away from his face. "On second thought, Stupefy!" She stood over his stunned body and said, "You're just not my type. Come on Harry, Ron" She walked away with her head in the air while everyone gave her stunned looks. No doubt about it, Hermione had definitely changed over the summer and it was going to be one heck of a year.

A/N: This is actually my second fanfic, but the first one…well let's just say it didn't have good reviews. I am writing this ignoring certain details in Harry Potter 5 and 6. Hope you don't mind. This is a short chapter, sorry about that, just wanted to introduce my story first to get it going.
