(A/N) So you know the drill! READ AND REVIEW! Haha

In case you're wondering, I put chapters 1-4 up all at the same time, so…yeah! Lol.

CHAPTER 4: Head Girl Meets Head Boy

Both Hermione and Draco stayed with their friends for a few minutes before they departed to the Head's part of the train. Harry and Ginny sat side by side on one side of the compartment with Ron right next to Harry and Hermione and Skyler sat at the other side.

"Hermione, why didn't you tell us that you made Head Girl? That's great news! Couldn't you have found the time to tell us over the summer?" asked Harry.

"I wanted it to be a surprise!" said Hermione. She looked down at the floor and was silent for a while. "This really means a lot to me…I still have trouble believing that it happened at all…I can't mess this up."

Hermione looked around at the compartment at the faces she had grown to love over the years. She realized how lucky she was to have such wonderful people in her life.

"And you won't mess this up, love" she heard Skyler say after giving her a gentle kiss on the lips making Hermione smile.

"I just wonder who the Head Boy is!" pondered Ginny.

"Come to think of it," said Hermione, "when I got the letter informing me I was Head Girl, Dumbledore didn't mention who the Head boy was, so I have no idea who it is either."

"I wish I was Head Boy" said Ron

Everyone looked at him with shocked expressions. "You do?" asked Ginny, "Since when were u interested in that type of stuff?"

"Since I found out that the Head's get to go off campus whenever they want! Do you have any idea how much I would leave school just to go to Honeydukes?" replied Ron making everyone laugh.

"He has a point there," said Skyler laughing, "I would just want to be Head Boy so I could spend more time with Hermione" he said looking deeply into her eyes.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and then to Skyler fighting the urge to glare at him.

"Calm yourself mate," said Harry not so jokingly, "Hermione wouldn't rush into things like that no matter who the bloke is."

Hermione and Ginny gave him a look that said "calm down" and Ginny changed the subject so that there wasn't a huge feud before the school year even started.

The group spent another few minutes talking and laughing. Hermione then finally left in search for the Head's compartment and of course, the Head Boy.

Draco and Blaise, who were in a different area of the train, were breathing hard in a dark corner. If someone were to walk by, they probably would have gotten the wrong impression from the two teenage boys. They began to walk in the isles of the train. Draco looked back over his shoulder.

"Oh dear Merlin, is she gone?"

"I don't know, we should find an empty compartment just in case"

They quickly jumped into the nearest empty compartment and locked the door and started to laugh hysterically.

"Can you believe it?! I take the girl to a bloody ball 3 years ago because of that stupid bet I made with you, and now she thinks I'm suppose to be her husband! Yeah, thanks a lot mate…I hate you," Draco said, of course not really meaning the "I hate you" part.

"Haha, anytime old buddy old pal," said Blaise slapping Draco on the back. "So, Aunt Narcissa told my mom that you made Head Boy. Were you even planning on telling me?" Blaise added look suspiciously at Draco.

Draco looked at him for a while. Now that he thought about it, he being Head Boy completely left his mind. "Sorry, I wasn't keeping it a secret or anything, I guess I just sort of…forgot."

"Well, who's the Head Girl? Do you know?" asked Blaise curiously.

"Do you seriously have to ask? Granger of course! Dumbledore, that muggle loving bat just HAD to choose her" Draco said while rolling his eyes. "Oh Merlin…what time is it?!"

Blaise looked at his magical watch. "11:30 am. Why?"

"I'm supposed to be in the Head's compartment in 5 minutes! I'll talk to you later" and Draco raced out of the compartment.

Hermione's POV

After leaving the others, I decided that I rather surprise myself as to who the head boy is. I went to the Head's compartment and sat next to the window. I carefully watched the trees rush by and the amazing blue sky. I couldn't help but feel so…peaceful. I looked at my watch. It was 11:30 am and the meeting didn't start until 11:35am. This meant that I had a few minutes to catch up on some light reading.

I pulled out my book from my bag and started to read. I crossed my legs and rested the book at my knee. I hope this Head Boy is a nice enough character…Maybe he'll even be one of my friends and I just don't know it! Though I highly doubt that…I've already asked around and no Gryffindor is the Head Boy…and I don't know that many people from the other houses. If I did, they were mostly girls.

I couldn't concentrate! Reading, or rather, trying to read this book just wasn't helping at all. I'm so nervous! I can't mess this up!

Creeeeeek.

I heard the compartment door open just a little bit and I turned my head to the side facing the window. Even though I was so anxious to see who the new Head Boy was, at the same time, I really didn't want to know either.

Draco's POV

I stopped in front of the Head's compartment door and looked at the clock. It's 11:34 am which means I'm right on time. I can't believe I'm going to have to spend the whole damn year with Granger. That mudblood has done nothing but make my life a living hell. Couldn't she just go to a stupid muggle school and stay out of my life. Damn, I may be rich but some things money just can't—

And then my thoughts just stopped. After I creaked open the door just a little bit, I saw that girl I saw earlier on the platform. I immediately smelled her scent. As I was scanning her body, I noticed her smooth milky crossed legs. They were so…perfect. I shifted my eyes back up to her head. It saddened me to see that once again her face was not showing and her head was facing the window. I came to the conclusion that she really must be a new student because she didn't know that this was the Head's compartment.

I looked around the halls to see where Granger was. Surely she should be here by now, it's not like her to be late. Then the thought hit me.

I slowly looked back into the compartment, the blood drained from my face. I swallowed hard and took one more good, careful look at the girl.

Ok Malfoy, let's go through this list slowly and carefully. What similarities does this girl have with Granger?:

hair- curly and brown like hers…but isn't Granger's more bushy?

height- pretty close…

what about her intelligence? I doubt that she can be anywhere near as smart as- Oh my God…is that a book?! What is it...ADVANCED TRANSFIGURATION?! OH SHIT IT IS GRANGER!

"Granger?!" I said to myself, not realizing that it was also aloud.

"Granger?!" Hermione heard. She automatically recognized the voice. She got so angry, even just hearing his voice was enough to make her blood boil.

"Malfoy! What the hell are you doing in the-" she spun around to look at him and was at a loss for words. Hermione looked at him up and down. Bloody hell she thought, when did he get so hot?

Draco saw her reaction to him and gave her his infamous smirk. "Like what you see Granger? I don't blame you. I'm well aware at how ridiculously handsome I am" he said to her while putting his hands in his pants pocket.

"Shut up Malfoy!" she yelled, "what are you doing here? This compartment is reserved for the Head Boy and Head Girl!"

"In that case…" Draco walked over to the seat across from Hermione and sat down, folding his arms across his chest.

"What exactly do you think you're doing Malfoy?" Hermione eyed him suspiciously.

"Like you said Granger, this cabin is reserved for the Head Boy and Head Girl. I see that you're the Head Girl, now meet the Head Boy. Nice to meet you" Draco added sarcastically as he pinned on his Head Boy badge.

"You can't be serious…" said Hermione horror stricken.

"Oh but I am. And don't make it seem like you're the only one angry about this, because trust me Granger, I'm not pleased at all."

Hermione glared into his silvery blue eyes. They were so evil and cold, yet at the same time, she couldn't turn her head away from him. This of course was perfectly fine with Draco. Though he would never admit it, but he as well was transfixed in Hermione's eyes. He never realized how just putting on a little make-up could make one's eyes so noticeable. At that moment, Professor McGonagall walked into the compartment. She was expecting instant arguments, but to her surprise the two Hogwarts students just sat there staring at each other or better yet, glaring.

She let out a little cough and the students looked at her. "Now I know this may have been a shock to both of you considering your uh…history, but it's something you both have to work through. Being Head Boy and Head Girl is a great honor and responsibility which has benefits you cannot abuse. If there is a personal feud, you are to work it out amongst yourselves. Otherwise, feel free to contact either me or Professor Dumbledore with any Head business. As of this moment, you have no big Head duties except but to do your rounds on Wednesdays. The prefects will of course take care of the rest of the days and there will be different shifts as well. When a serious Head matter comes up, you will be notified by either Professor Dumbledore or myself. Are the rules clear Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Granger?"

"Yes Professor" Draco and Hermione said as a union.

"Are there any questions?" there was a short moment of silence. "Good. Both of you have a peaceful remaining of the train ride." McGonagall turned the knob and opened the door to exit the compartment when she stopped and had a great idea. She turned around and said "By the way, as Heads you are to stay in this compartment to discuss your duties and come to agreements. You are only to leave for bathroom breaks and to change for school. There will be no one guarding you of this, but these are direct orders from me, and you will be best off doing what you are told now that you are role models. Just think of this as…your first test as to whether or not the right boy and girl were picked for the job." With that, she gave a small grin and left the compartment leaving Draco and Hermione with the same thought in their minds: She's definately gone mad...

Draco just continued to sit in his seat while watching Hermione pace back and forth in the [[small compartment. Draco was going over in his mind what exactly he thought about the new Hermione. Sure she looks different…dare I say hot…but she's still the same mudblood she was 7 years ago. Same mudblood, same know it all, same Granger.

Meanwhile Hermione didn't know what to think. Malfoy, the Slytherin Prince of Dirtbags is now Head Boy…I can't believe it! What on earth was Dumbledore thinking?! Now this means I'm gonna have to spend more time with the bloody ferret whether I like it or not! Well…maybe I can like it, he's gotten so hot over the---WAIT! Stop it Hermione! Stop! Bad girl! Very bad! He's scum and you have Skyler…but I don't think I like him as much as he likes me…you know what, just stop!

She let out a growl of frustration. Draco heard this and smirked. "I know you think I'm irresistible but can you please control yourself Granger? We wouldn't want your precious boyfriend to get jealous now would we?"

"Oh sod off ferret boy!" Hermione shot back.

Draco didn't know why, but her tone lit something within him. He didn't know what it was, but he got serious.

"You know what Granger, let's make a deal. I've worked too damn bloody hard to get this position and I'm not about to ruin it because of you. The deal is, you stay out of my way and I stay out of yours. You don't annoy the crap out of me and I give you my word that I won't make your life a living hell…and I mean that in the most non-evil way possible. What do you say?"

Hermione looked at Draco with such surprise. Never would she have thought that he would be mature enough to make this kind of decision. They've only been together for a short time and she felt like she already is beginning to understand him a little better. Most importantly, she believed him when he said that he worked really hard to get where he is. Most people think that he always bought his way through everything. She thought for a while, thinking of what to add to the deal.

"Name calling…" she said.

"What?" asked Draco a bit confused.

"No more name calling. I don't want to hear any more remarks coming from you about me being a 'filthy mudblood know it all.' In return, the jokes of the infamous bouncing ferret will cease to escape from my lips." She said with a laugh at the end. "Deal?"

Draco looked at her, searching her face and eyes to make sure she had no intentions of finding loop wholes in their little deal. "Deal." Draco said holding out his hand for her to shake.

This was another gesture that didn't fail to surprise Hermione. Again Draco Malfoy was being somewhat decent to her. She looked at his hand not sure if it was a trick or not, but nevertheless took his hand and shook on their newly born deal. Definitely not the first time of the day, she found herself entranced by his eyes. Just by looking at his eyes, Hermione can tell that there was so much more to Draco Malfoy than Hogwarts knew.

Shaking her head and releasing herself from the trance, she spoke, "Well…ok then…umm…we'll be arriving at the castle soon. I'm going to change into my robes. Feel free to change in here; I'm going to be a while anyway."

Draco did not answer her, did not give her any gesture that would suggest an answer, he did not even look at her. He simply just stayed in his seat and stared out the window as if it held a secret, and he wanted to know. Hermione, feeling the tension, left to go change. When she came back and opened the compartment door, she saw Draco standing in the middle fixing his tie and didn't look up at her when she came in, and there was a reason for this. Draco knew that if he looked at her, he couldn't stop the thoughts that would find their way into his mind. He still didn't like her, but he was a guy and he was only human, and Hermione did change a lot during the summer. Draco had to fight the urge to look at her up and down.

Just then, the train came to a screeching halt causing Hermione to lose her balance and fall towards Draco. With his seeker fast reflexes, he caught her with ease and looked down at her as she looked up at him. They stayed there for a while, ignoring the sound of their fellow students making their way through the isles. For the first time that day, Hermione saw that Draco's eyes were not cold like they always were, but soft and gentle.

She pulled herself away slowly, looking away from his eyes and backing up against the compartment door. She turned the knob and looked one more time at Draco and with a soft, innocent voice, she said "Bye" and exited the Head's compartment.

As the door shut, Draco looked at it for a few seconds and couldn't help but think that this was going to be one hell of a year.
