"Harry! Ron!" Hermione yelled when she spotted them at the platform.
"Hermione!" They yelled back in unison as they embraced her in a warming hug.
"How have you two been?" She asked, excited to see her two best friends again.
"Good, my summer was great; I got to go work in Fred and George's shop….for money!" Ron said pulling out all the money he made over the summer.
"That's wonderful Ron" Hermione said smiling, she was happy that Ron had money to spend this year.
"How about you Harry?" she asked.
"Well my summer started out horrible, staying with my aunt and uncle, but then I got to stay with Ron and after that it got loads better!" Harry said getting happier with each word.
"Good, I'm glad you didn't have to stay there all summer"
"How was your summer Hermione?" Harry asked, and Hermione was just about to reply when Draco walked by her pushing his cart and they locked eyes for a moment. Then Hermione realized exactly what did happen that summer…and what she would tell Harry and Ron.
"Hermione? Hello?" Ron said waving his hand in front of her eyes.
"Oh…umm…sorry about that, my summer was boring as usual…you know me…I read a few books and that was about it." She replied and Ron and Harry nodded their heads.
"Well we better start boarding the train" Harry said.
The trio grabbed their smaller luggage and left the rest with a train worker that loaded it for them. They climbed aboard and started making their way through the crowd to find an empty seat. On their way there they ran into none other than Draco and his cronies. For the second time Hermione and Draco locked eyes, only for a moment, but it was long enough for it to stop Hermione's heart.
"Well look if it isn't Potty and the Weasel…and the bucktooth beaver" Draco sneered at Hermione and it was that moment that reminded her of why she hated him so much. It was also that moment that made her realize what a mistake she really had made that summer.
"Shove off Malfoy" Harry replied nastily.
"Your touchy when it comes to Granger aren't you Potter…well let me tell you just how…never mind" Draco stopped mid sentence.
"Just how what, Malfoy?" Ron asked
"Nothing" Hermione replied at once "I mean he's just trying to get a rise out of the two of you…come one let's just find a seat" Hermione said grabbing their arms and leading them away from Draco.
"What was that about?" Harry asked Hermione once they got settled into a compartment.
"Who knows…it's just Malfoy being Malfoy…that's all" Hermione replied, then grabbed a book from her bag and pretended to be reading it.
That wasn't true, Draco had turned Hermione's world upside down that summer….and in only one night. One stupid night. Hermione had given up something that she swore she wouldn't until she fell in love. She had given up her virginity to Draco Malfoy. She had met him at Hogsmeade and somehow, before either of them could stop themselves, it went too far. 'How could I have been so stupid?' Hermione thought.
It was like there was some kind of invisible magnet attached to Draco. One so strong that it pulled her in before she could even think of what she was doing. After it happened they both swore that they wouldn't tell anyone…it would only be between them. Draco was mean about it…in fact it seemed as though he really wanted to protect Hermione's reputation…or maybe he just wanted to protect his own.
"Miss Granger"
Hermione looked up to see Professor McGonagall standing there. 'Why is she on the train?' Hermione thought.
"Please come with me" Hermione exchanged confused glances with Harry and Ron, they shrugged their shoulders and she got up and followed Professor McGonagall.
She stopped at one more compartment to get…Draco. 'What is this about?' Hermione questioned to herself. Again…their eyes locked then they both looked away…embarrassed.
"I have excellent news for the two of you" Professor McGonagall started "The two of you have been chosen as Head Boy and Head Girl. You both have worked very hard to get this position and I am sure that you will do well. I will show you where you will be staying when we get to Hogwarts." She finished.
"Professor McGonagall, will Malfoy and I be sharing a dorm?" Hermione asked.
"Yes Miss Granger but you have different bedrooms; you will have to share a common room and a bathroom."
This confirmed Hermione's worst fear. How would she be able to share a dorm with Draco after what happened?
A/n: Well what do you think? PLEASE REVIEW AND LET ME KNOW!
