Chapter 2One Month Ago
Hermoine stepped onto the platform with her boyfriend Blaise Zambini of Slytherin house. Now, I know what you're thinking, Hermoine Granger dating a Slytherin? No chance, right?
Well, ever since Harry had passed on from the war (don't worry, Voldemort did also pass on too), and Ron had gone slightly insane from the torture he was put through, she had sought comfort from anyone willing to give it to her and it just so happened that a certain Slytherin was there, waiting for her.
A month after finding out what had happened to her two best friends, she had met Blaise. She was sitting underneath a tree next to the lake, reading of course; a tear running down her face for it was a sappy romance novel in which she was engulfed in. Blaise had been watching her for quite some time. She was a mystery to him. A mystery that she wished deeply to discover. He continued to watch her, day by day, as she sat in the same spot each afternoon after classes.
Blaise finally gathered up the courage and approached her. She had soon learned that not all Slytherins were cold hearted like a certain Malfoy had let on for so many years. After becoming study buddies and quite close friends, and eventually started dating.
But now Hermoine felt a strong surge of superiority as she walked hand-in-hand with Blaise towards the carriages that would take them up to the ancient castle.
Her looks had improved greatly since she had felt more confident because of Blaise, and many took notice to this, but since Blaise was quite obviously a Slytherin, nobody dared approach her about it.
Hermoine, of course, was appointed Head Girl, but she had yet to find out who the Head Boy was. She knew that it wasn't Blaise because she knew he would tell her that they would be sharing a dormitory.
The couple walked into the Great Hall in silence and gave each other a quick peck before departing to their separate tables. The amount of students had lessened since the war, but there were still quite the amount there.
The murmur of chat became full fledged silence as Dumbledore stood up. He was look older and wearier by the second, but at least he had survived.
"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts" he said, eyes twinkling underneath his half-moon spectacles. "I expect this year will be much different for you all" he said quietly. "But the war has passed, and we will always honor those who have fought for us to live our lives!"
Applause erupted through the whole Hall. Even the Slytherins were applauding as they had seen the wrath of Voldemort and didn't like the looks of it too much.
Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued. After finishing the Beginning of the Year feast, Dumbledore announce Head Boy and Girl.
"I would like to announce that this years Head Girl and Boy are Hermoine Granger and Draco Malfoy."
Both stood up as the applause erupted again and stared at each other. His eyes were serious and sullen, and Hermoine wished to avoid them, but she couldn't tear away.
Finally, Ginny helped Hermoine sit down and they continued to eat. After what seemed like forever, the students were taken to their common rooms, along with the Head Boy and Girl.
Professor McGonagall walked over to Hermoine who was talking to Blaise. Draco was standing behind Professor McGonagall, a serious expression still upon his face.
"It's time that I take you to your common room now" she said, giving Hermoine a weak smile. The war had done a lot of damage to Professor McGonagall too, leaving her with many a gray hair.
Hermoine turned to Blaise and gave him a quick kiss good-bye and turned to follow Professor McGonagall and Draco. They walked down a long hallway in silence until they came to a portrait of an old woman in a rocking chair.
"Password?" the old woman chimed. "United" Professor McGonagall said. The portrait opened revealing a red and silver room, hearth blazing along the far wall, and two doors on opposite sides of a wall. There was a lion on one and a snake on the other so one could only guess who went where. A bathroom was built between the rooms which they would have to share.
Nothing was said between the two of them as they got settled in. A lot of glancing at the other was made, but that was the only contact that was made.
They had discovered their conversational skills over the next couple of weeks and would often study together, along with Blaise of course, because Blaise didn't trust Draco alone with Hermoine, and who could blame him?
They spent their rounds talking about casual things or in complete silence, and Hermoine knew that he was hiding something from her, and she was bound and determined to find out what it was.
This is where we left off, where the feelings have been confronted and new discoveries will soon be made.
