Chapter 2: Room Race

Dumbledore smiled at the two pale and mortified teens, who had not said a word since Dumbledore told them that they would not only be sharing a room but a bed as well.

"Well, students will be here any moment, better get going to lead them to the Great Hall before the first years arrive." He said gesturing his hand towards the front of the school.

Hermione slowly walked towards the front of the school and Draco followed just as slowly if not slower.

'One minor set back…I won't let this affect my last year here, Malfoy will most certainly not make my last year here a horrid one, I swear on that!' Hermione thought as she took her place in front of the school doors as she saw the carriages arriving.

Draco stood across from her on the other side of the doors looking at the carriages arrive but thinking about something else, 'Father will not like this; oh to hell with father, I don't like this! Blast-Ended Skrewts would prove to be more suitable company than Granger! Dumbledore has lost the little marbles he had left!'

The seventh years arrived first and Hermione saw Harry, Ron, Dean, Neville and Seamus come out from a carriage together.

Harry spotted Hermione and headed over to her but not before noticing a very angry looking Malfoy across from her, "What's Malfoy doing here Hermione? Don't tell me he's Head Boy!?"

Ron came over and looked over at Draco with a curious face, "What's bothering Malfoy, I haven't seen him this angry since he was turned into a ferret."

Hermione suppressed the anger she was feeling and looked at her best friends with as cool a look as possible, "Yes, he's Head Boy."

"He doesn't seem too thrilled now does he?" Ron asked looking over at Malfoy again who was now talking with some fellow seventh year Slytherins.

Hermione shook her head and looked up at the sky still not believing her misfortune, "That's because there's more to it than that."

Ron and Harry raised curious brows up at her, "Like what?" Harry asked.

Hermione shook her head, "I'll tell you later, just get into the Great Hall."

***********************************************************************

Once everyone was in the Great Hall Hermione took her place at the Gryffindor table across from Harry and Ron. Just then Professor McGonagall walked into the Hall with all the scared looking first years. Hermione looked at them with a grin, 'Oh how simple everything was back when I was in first year. Yet unfortunately Malfoy was always there from the beginning! Hope there are no boys like Malfoy in that lot for the sake of all the girls,' she thought as she glanced over at Draco quickly with a disapproving look, she then turned her attention towards the Sorting Hat.

Draco was trying to watch the Sorting ceremony but he was just too damn angry to really pay attention.

'Of all the girls in the school, it had to be Granger! I'd rather share a bed with a Blast-Ended Skrewt. Look at those first years, how many are mudbloods? How many of those little girls are exactly like Granger? For the sake of those first year boys I hope there aren't any, lucky they should be so fortunate unlike myself.' Draco thought venomously as he glanced at Hermione with a look of pure hate and disgust.

"Draco what's wrong you've been in a bad mood ever since you came into the Great Hall." Pansy Parkinson asked with an over exaggerated look of concern.

Draco didn't look over at her, he stayed with his arms crossed on the table leaning down on them and looking up at the enchanted ceiling. He did not want to talk about his new dilemma with anyone.

'Let them find out on their own, far be it for me to say anything, I'd rather have my tongue cut out first.'

*******************************************************************

Once the meal had finished Dumbledore tapped his spoon on his goblet and rose to his feet, the room fell silent and all eyes were on him, he looked at everyone through his half-moon spectacles and said, "Welcome to another year. Now for the ground rules for all who don't know them or for those who need them to be repeated," he began glancing at Harry and Ron who merely smirked, "The Dark Forest is not for any student to be going into, Quidditch is not for first years and trips to Hogsmeade are only for third years and above. I want all students to listen to all teachers and prefects and our new Head Boy and Girl for the year. Mr. Draco Malfoy of Slytherin and Ms. Hermione Granger of Gryffindor."

'Lucky me' Hermione thought sarcastically as the room applauded for her and Draco, but more for her than Draco.

'I never knew being Head Boy could suck so much' Draco thought as he glared at Hermione and hated her for being Head Girl. 'Leave it to Granger to take all the fun out of it.'

Dumbledore raised his hand to silence everyone and then began speaking again, "Further more this year will possibly be one of the most entertaining years at Hogwarts yet. We have an assortment of things planned, Balls, House Tournaments and after House Tournaments there will be the School Tournament," he began as students began buzzing with excitement, even Draco raised a brow of interest, "The four winners of each school house will face off in the school tournament…the winner will receive a very special prize and 1000 points awarded to their house. Now, you may all go to bed. Dates for these events will be posted in your common rooms, goodnight."

Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other with intrigue, "A school tournament huh? It'll be great to end our last year with a bang by having Gryffindor win the tournament." Ron said with a smile of excitement.

Harry nodded, "Yea, I'll love to see the looks on the Slytherins faces when that happens, especially Malfoy's."

The two started laughing but Hermione didn't for it only reminded her of where she had to go next…her and Draco's room.

"Well looks like we gotta get going, see you tomorrow Hermione." The two of them said as they headed out of the hall. Hermione sighed; she really wanted to go to the Gryffindor common room.

Dumbledore then called her and Draco towards him, "Here's a map of how to get to your room, and it's in the center of the castle so you can have easy access to everything. Goodnight you two." He said as he then walked passed them.

Hermione gazed at the map, it showed her the room in the center and it showed two dots on the far left corner of the map marked Draco and Hermione.

'This is easy enough at least,' Hermione thought with a sigh.

"Give me the map Granger." Draco spat as he tried to grab it out of Hermione's hand.

"No! Stop it you brainless idiot!" Hermione said pulling the map away from him.

Draco grew impatient, this wasn't exactly his best night ever and he was not going to allow the abominable mudblood tell him anything he didn't want to hear.

"Brainless am I?" he began as he quickly walked around Hermione and then stopped in front of her after he quickly circled her once, "If I'm so brainless then how is it that I managed to get the map from you?" he said holding it out for her to see.

Hermione's eyes bulged out, "Give it back!"

Draco smirked and pulled it away, "Stop it you brainless idiot!" Draco said imitating Hermione's voice, which only got Hermione more furious.

Hermione jumped up and grabbed half of the map as she fell back down it ripped in half.

Draco looked at his half of the map horrified, "You…you…ripped the bloody map in half!" Draco shouted, his anger came right back to him all at once.

Hermione looked at her half, 'Great! Just Great!' she thought.

"Well give me your half so I can hold them together." Hermione said reaching for the other half of the map.

"Stay away you clumsy mudblood. I won't let you rip this last half into another half!" He said backing away from her.

"Then we won't get to our room!" Hermione shouted in reason.

"Who cares!? Better stay out here than in that room with you!" He said leaning up against a wall with his arms crossed and one leg leaning back.

Hermione scowled at him, "Well, then stay out here…I'm going to find MY room and sleep in MY bed tonight." She said walking passed him.

Draco looked at her as if he thought she was joking about the whole MY room and MY bed thing, he got off the wall and followed her, "YOUR room? YOUR bed? I most certainly think not!"

Hermione stopped, she suddenly had an idea that might let her have the room all to herself for the night, "Whoever gets to the room first gets to call it their own for the night."

Draco looked at her, the offer did appeal to him.

'A chance to have the room to myself for tonight, huh? Lord knows I'm quicker than Granger and most likely smarter, sure why not? I'll win this.' He thought with a sneer.

He looked at Hermione with a face of pure confidence, "Alright…hope you like sleeping on stone." He said as he then went down a hall, leaving Hermione slightly worried with his confident attitude.

'He can't possibly know how to get there, could he?' she thought as she decided to stop wasting time and began running through the halls to find the room before Malfoy did.
