Chapter 4: Head Boy & Girl

Previously on Second Chance

"Now I know you have all been waiting for this, so I won't put it off any longer." Dumbledore said looking around.

"This year's head boy, from Slytherin," He paused.

Draco held his breath and crossed his fingers.

"Is …"

Now on Second Chance

---

Every head in the hall was turned to Dumbledore waiting for him to announce who was head boy.

"This year's head boy, from Slytherin," He said as he looked around. "Is, Draco Malfoy!"

The Slytherin table exploded in cheers and a look of relief flashed over Draco's face. Hermione, Ginny, Ron and Harry all stood and were cheering just as loud as the Slytherin's.

"See," Pansy said smirking. "I told you that you had nothing to worry about!" Draco just smiled and looked at the Gryffindor table and locked eyes with Hermione. She smiled at him and gave him a little wave.

---

"Oh that's so great! Draco's head boy!" Hermione said excitedly as she sat down. "Yeah it is." Ron said. "He deserves it." Said Ginny.

"Now we find out the head girl!" Said Hermione looking anxious. "Don't worry Herm, you're going to get head girl." Harry said. Hermione just glared at him for calling her 'Herm'.

---

"Attention, attention please," Dumbledore said trying to quiet down the hall. "Yes, congratulations Mr. Malfoy. But now I would like to announce who the head girl is." He said looking around.

---

Draco sat there, fingers crossed again. "Please let it be Hermione, please let it be Hermione." He whispered. Blaise looked at him and raised a curious eyebrow. "What?" Draco asked looking at him. "Of course it's going to be Hermione," He said as though it were the most obvious thing in the world. "She's the brightest witch in our year."

"I know," Draco said. "I just really want her to get it." "Don't worry so much Draco. She'll get it." Said Pansy reassuringly.

---

"Now, this year's head girl, from Gryffindor is," Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eye as the whole hall held their breath waiting for his answer. "Is, Hermione Granger!"

No one heard the last part of what Dumbledore said. All anyone heard was 'Hermione' and the whole hall erupted into cheers, minus most of the Slytherin table that still didn't like the Gryffindors.

Draco, Pansy, Blaise and Millicent were all standing and cheering while receiving many glares from their fellow Slytherins.

The Gryffindors were ecstatic. They were all hugging Hermione and cheering.

"Now," Dumbledore said making an attempt to quiet the hall once again. "Now that that has been taken care of, I do believe we can eat Mr. Weasley." He said smiling.

Ron turned beat red.

"Let the feast, begin!"

And with that the plates filled with food and everyone started to eat.

---

"Oh thank god! I wasn't sure how much longer I could wait." Said Ron now stuffing his face with mashed potatoes. "Oh Ron, you're ridiculous." Said Ginny. "What? You all know how much I love to eat! I'm a growing boy!" He said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "That excuse is getting old Ron." Said Hermione smiling. Harry just laughed as Ron stuck his tongue out.

"So, I wonder what that big thing for the 5th, 6th and 7th years could be." Hermione said to the others as they ate. "I have no idea." Said Ginny.

"Umm … maybe it's a new class or something," Said Ron. "Although that wouldn't be exciting."

"Maybe it's a trip of some sort," Said Harry. "Like instead of Hogsmeade, we get to go somewhere else."

"Or maybe," Seamus started. "We're getting another tournament thing like the tri wizard." The rest of the table just looked at him. "What?" He asked. "It's possible! Just maybe not as dangerous and no one will die and old he who must not be named won't come popping up out of some grave yard." Again they all just stared at him like he was crazy.

"Anyways," Hermione said turning then attention away from Seamus. "I'm sure the heads and prefects will find out what it is sometime tonight and then I can let you all know what it is." She said. "Yeah, I can't wait to find out." Said Ginny.

---

"So Mr. Head Boy," Pansy said. "We told you Hermione would get head girl." She said smiling. "Yeah yeah," Draco said. "I know, I just, I don't know what I would have done if I got stuck with someone else as head girl. I don't get along with anyone other then you guys, and Hermione, Ginny, Potter and Weasley." "That's true," Said Blaise. "It would have been kind of funny though if you got stuck with someone you completely despised." Draco just looked at him. "Why would that be funny?" He asked. "I don't know, it just would be." Blaise said going back to his food.

"Oh well you guys are so lucky!" Said Millicent. "You get to stay in the head dorms. I heard there so nice. And that you guy's get your own bathrooms and everything!" She said excitedly. The other's just laughed.

---

As the night went on, Dumbledore stood up once again.

"Now that you're all fed and what not, I do believe it is time to head to the common rooms. But I would ask that the first year's stay here so that the head's and prefects can lead you to your common room. And if the heads and prefects could come up here to claim there badges. The rest of you may go." He said.

As the hall started to empty, the four prefects and the two heads made their way up to Dumbledore.

Once they got there Hermione threw her arms around Draco in a hug. "Draco! Congratulations!" Draco laughed. "You too Hermione." He said pushing her back a bit but not letting go so he could look at her. She smiled and let go and they both turned to Dumbledore.

"Yes, congratulations to all of you." He said smiling. "Now, here are your badges. And now if you can lead the first years to the dormitory that would be great." He said. "Once you have done that, come and meet me outside of my office and I will take you all to your new head and prefect dormitories."

They all agreed, said they're thanks and then headed off to their respective houses to gather the first years.

---

Hermione and Ginny walked over to their group of very nervous first years. "Hello there," Hermione said smiling. "I'm Hermione Granger, and this is Ginny Weasley. I'm head girl, and Ginny is a prefect. We're going to show you to the Gryffindor common room, so if you'll all just follow us." She said and they made their way out of the hall.

As they made their way to the main staircase, Ginny said, "I can't wait to see our new common room and what not!" "Oh I know!" Said Hermione excitedly.

Suddenly they heard a squeal of excitement from behind them and turned to see what was wrong.

"What is it?" Ginny asked a little blonde first year.

"That stair case!" She said wide-eyed. "It moved!" She said in awe. The others all looked amazed.

Hermione laughed.

Ginny smiled at them.

"Yes, that's something you want to watch out for. The staircases they like to change a lot. Now if you'll just follow us, we're almost at the Gryffindor common room."

---

Draco and Blaise made there way over to a group of first year slytherins. "They look like we did," Blaise whispered. "Cocky yet nervous." Draco laughed.

Once they reached the first years, Draco introduced himself and Blaise.

"I'm Draco Malfoy and this is Blaise Zabini. I'm head boy and Blaise is the Slytherin prefect."

"We know who you are," Sneered a black haired first year boy. "We're not deaf, we heard the old man." The other first years snickered.

Draco and Blaise just looked at each other. "Okay," Blaise whispered. "The nice approach didn't work. Time to go into scary Draco Malfoy bad boy of Slytherin mode." Draco laughed. "Fine."

They turned back to the first years. Draco glared at them and they all stopped snickering. "Not deaf are you? That's funny. I could have swore you were talking through all of, what was it you called him? Ah yes, 'that old man's' speech." He sneered. The first years started looking nervous.

"I don't know who you think you are, but you're a first year. The lowest of the low, you have no control over anyone. And if you do not watch what you say or who you insult, you will have me to answer too." Draco said giving them all a death glare.

"Are we clear on that?" He drawled. They nodded.

"Good." Said Blaise. "Don't think its just Malfoy here you have to worry about, I'll be around and watching you to. So you better not let us down."

"Yes sir's," They all mumbled wide eyed.

"Good. Lets go." Blaise said as he and Draco led them out of the hall and down towards the Slytherin common room.

"Well that was interesting." Said McGonagall. "Looks like Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Zabini are trying to fix up the attitude of their fellow Slytherin's." She said. "Yes indeed it does look that way Minerva." Said Dumbledore. "Hopefully they can pull it off." He said. "If anyone can scare them into behaving, it's Draco and Blaise." Said Snape. And with that, they all left the hall.

---

"Well here we are," Hermione said to the first years as they approached the fat lady. "Password?" She said. "Chocolate frog." She said. The portrait swung open.

The first years looked amazed.

"This, is the Gryffindor common room," Ginny said. "The girls dormitory's are up the stairs and to the left, boys the same on you're right." Ginny said as the first years headed off in there own directions.

"Well, we better get to Dumbledore's office." Hermione said. "Yep I'm so excited. Lets go!"

And with that they headed off to meet the others.

---

Draco and Blaise arrived at the Slytherin portrait. "Password?" It asked. "Venom." Blaise replied. Draco raised an eyebrow. "How appropriate." "Isn't it?" Laughed Blaise.

They headed inside and showed the first year girls and boys where their dormitories were.

"Well let's get to Dumbledore's office to meet the others." Blaise said. "Yeah, lets go."

They climbed out of the portrait and headed off to Dumbledore's office.
