Disclaimer: I still wish… they still don't come true… J.K. Rowling still owns Harry Potter and everything that comes with it… it's my plot though…

A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews… Stogey, thanks for being my first reviewer, and Phil, you were the second, thanks so much guys, it really meant a lot to me… now, without further ado… I give you the second chapter!

Once in the Heads common room Hermione and Draco turned to each other and had the most civil conversation they had ever had since they met.

"Look Granger, I know I'm the last person you want to share a dorm with, trust me, I would much rather be stuck here with almost anyone else. Let's try to make the best of it." Draco said with that famous smirk of his.

"Fine Malfoy, I had a hard summer and don't really want to deal with a dim-wit like you." Hermione retorted glaring at him as if he were Voldemort himself.

"Oh, summer so hard without Potty and Weaselby? Don't worry, I'll protect you now." He said still with that smirk on his face.

"What makes you think I need any protection? I can handle myself."

"Well… what makes you think I'm a dim-wit? I obviously have just as good marks as you if I made Head Boy."

"Ron would have gotten Head Boy if he were still here…" She trailed off at the thought of her good friend and ex-boyfriend, she missed them dearly.

"But he isn't here and second best is still a best I'll have you know"

'Why won't he get that damned smirk off his face? What kind of pleasure can he really get by trying to upset me? Doesn't he know it won't work anymore? Maybe I should teach him a lesson…' Hermione thought to herself.

'This term will be so much better than all of the last ones put in one! I can't wait to sit here and bug her all year! Amazing… I just realized I haven't called her any names yet… I should change that.' He told himself.

"Shut up weasel! Why don't you just go crawl into a hole and die now?"

"Tsk tsk… such strong words for such a small little mudblood."

With that Hermione whisked out her wand and pointed it straight at his chest. "Say that one more bloody time and I swear I'll"

"You'll what?" he interrupted pulling out is wand in turn.

"Just go to your room and leave me alone will you?"

"Funny, you don't look like my mother… she is so much prettier than you. And she was a pureblood." He added every ounce of disdain he held for her in that last word. "And she doesn't even boss me around like that… at least she asks nicely. No, I think I'm fine out here." He said as he plopped down on the couch.

"Fine, I'll go to my room and leave you here to enjoy yourself, because you're the only person that does enjoy yourself." With that said Hermione went to examine her new dorm.

The common room was quite a bit bigger than the Gryffindor common room it was circular and there was an enormous fireplace with a blazing fire going. In front of the fire was a burgundy couch and on either side of the couch was a chair, one of the chairs was a magnificent silver frame with huge green cushions (Slytherin colors obviously for Draco), and the other was a beautiful gold framed chair with enormous red cushions (Gryffindor colors, obviously for Hermione).

Hermione found her room. It was absolutely beautiful! Her bed was right next to the window it was a beautiful four-poster like her dorm in Gryffindor, only the frame was magnificent Amber wood and her posts were made of pure gold. Her sheets and pillowcases were a beautiful gold and her comforter was a vibrant red. Next to her bed was a nightstand with a lamp so she could read in bed (they knew her so well!). On the other side of the room was a desk so she could do her homework and write letters and such.

Draco, having realized that he could do no more to annoy Hermione that night went to discover his own room. It was much like Hermione's room, only instead of gold and red, his was green and silver.

The next morning at breakfast Hermione sat in her normal spot next to Ginny… neither of them talked much because they kept staring at the empty spaces where Harry and Ron used to sit. Ginny was the first to speak up

"We really should stop mourning them… they died in the only way they would have wanted to you know?"

"Yeah, I know Ginny, it's just so hard moving on without them… Honestly, can you imagine Hogwarts with out Harry Potter?"

"So Hermy, you got a boyfriend yet?"

"Of course I don't, you know I should never ever try to go out with that guy… it just wouldn't be right… with Harry and Ron just passing… I don't think anything will happen between us."

Over at the Slytherin table…

Draco had just sat down next to Crabbe and Goyle and across from Blaise, when Blaise leaned forward and asked "So, how's sharing a dorm with Hogwarts biggest prude going so far?"

"Oh, quite lovely, I think I'll have a great year tormenting her." Draco replied with his grin growing wide.

A/N: again thanks for the reviews… I hope I get more! I hope you liked the second chapter… I know it's a lil boring now… but it gets better… trust me!
