Chapter 9

"So Draco is it true, did you really kiss that filthy blood's hand?"

He was totally embarrassed, but was able to hide this from his 'friends'; he was able to hide any feelings he had.

"And what exactly would you do if I did huh Blaise?" Draco asked challenging him.

"Well you always preach on and on about how important pureblood is and then you go and pull a stunt like this. What exactly are you playing at?"

Draco's fury started to build up inside of him.

Is he questioning me, so what if I kissed her hand. Whippdy shit! And so what if I think she's hot, she's good eye candy. What am I saying? Hold on, wasn't he checking out that redhead?

"Excuse me Blaise correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you checking out Weaselette?"

It was now Blaise's turn to feel humiliated, except he wasn't as good at hiding it.

Draco smirked and was about to keep on tormenting him before he looked down at his watch.

"Got to go guys, Head boy and Girl business to attend to."

Just as Draco got up to leave Pansy yanked at his arm. "Are you going to leave me to go with some head girl? I can satisfy you more Drakykins."

Draco was pissed off enough as it was and he didn't need some leach hanging off of him.

"Who is the Head girl anyways darling?"

He got chills every time she called him some silly little pet name.

"If you must know it's that little know-it-all Granger. I'll be back soon."

As soon as he left the carriage, they began gossiping. He was sick of how pathetic they were. They were in there seventh year and tormenting little children was still entertainment for those Slytherins. For him it seemed immature. They were all too dim-witted to talk about anything worth while and they still followed him around like a flock of sheep.

BANG.

Before he could continue these thoughts, someone had bumped into him.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean- mudblood."

She stood on her feet and looked up at what was once a scrawny annoying little boy, to a tall, lean and good looking man. He's you're enemy.

"Sod off Malfoy; you could at least use some other silly little name you have for me. Mudblood is getting a tad bit old"

He stood there in utter shock, staring at her he now realised she was no longer the quiet little bookworm, but a strong independent woman.

Hermione noticed he was staring at her. "So are you going to stare at what you can't have or are you going to move. We're late enough as it is."

She pushed past him and carried on towards the front carriage.

He finally snapped out of his trance and went tailing behind her.

As they reached the door, Draco opened it and put his arm inside. "Ladies first."

Hermione was surprised and stepped in.

Maybe he has changed.

This thought was insolently disrupted when he put his foot out and tripped her up, causing her to fall and land face down in front of Albus Dumbledore.

"Ah Miss Granger, and how are you this evening." He asked, looking down at her from his half moon spectacles.

She stood up and brushed away any dirt from her skirt and quickly gave Draco the evils.

"I'm fine thank you very much headmaster." She replied smiling.

"That's good. And you Mr Malfoy how were your holidays?"

He returned her look and then looked at the headmaster. "They were tolerable." He replied in a stern tone.

"Very good, so shall we."

He gestured to the two leather seats, and they involuntarily sat next to each other.

"Now before I begin lecturing, I would just like to congratulate the two of you for attaining the role of head boy and girl, I know you have both worked hard and all that effort has helped you in the long run. Now back to business. You have been given the opportunity of acquiring these two positions, because of many reasons including your high school grades, enthusiasm towards education, leadership skills plus the little things, such as compassion, trust and so on and so forth. So it is important that I tell you first and fore mostly to not abuse your authority. It is not given to one merely for his or her entertainment; it is a privilege that must be endorsed. The normal rules apply, apart from curfew as you two will mind the halls four times a weeknight and return to your dorm at 12:00 sharp."

"Excuse me Professor." Hermione interrupted. "But did you say dorm as in singular?"

He grinned. "Yes Miss Granger that is what I was assuming, is that a predicament of you?"

Even Draco knew better than to defy the headmaster's wishes.

"Uh no sir, no problem at all."

"Okay then I will talk to you two again at school about other head business."

They both stood up to leave then the train suddenly came to a halt. It was so abrupt Hermione fell back into Draco's arms.

They both unknowingly savoured this moment.

Oh my gosh, I'm in Malfoy's arms. No stupid Hermione. It's the bastard that has given you shit since your first year.

Woah, she's so petite. She smells nice too. What am I thinking?! This is granger, the little pureblood who always had to be better than you in everything. This is awkward. I know what to do.

And with that he stepped back to let her land face down for the second time in the last 10 minutes.

"You two best get in to your robes; I'll see you in the great hall and Miss Granger?"

"Yes head master?" She asked while trying to get her balance.

"Tie your shoe laces; you're becoming a walking hazard."

Professor Dumbledore stepped out of the carriage and in no less than five seconds Draco laughed so hard he nearly cried.

"I see you like to bow down to me Granger? Well if you must then continue."

Once again, he proves me wrong.

"Look Draco let's get one thing straight. If you do one more thing to piss me off, I swear on Merlin I will hex you to the next parallel universe, got it?"

He would have retaliated but he could see the detestation in her eyes.

"Yeah whatever mudblood, move out of the way I need to get my robes on."

He then pushed her aside and went to find his carriage.

This year will be interesting indeed. That mudblood thinks she's heard the last of me, she can think again. When I get her back she won't know what hit her.

A/N: I'm loving the reviews please keep them coming and I will write the next chapter A.S.A.P:p. THANKS. Luff Maorigurl!
