The days went by with the boys playing Quidditch and the girls sitting down beneath a large oak tree chatting to themselves about anything and everything, while they cheered for the boys.

Occasionally, Ginny would fly with the boys, practicing her new techniques since she was also on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. It was days like these where Hermione will bring out her school books and read to herself as she would hear the distance sounds of her friends laughing and shouting.

School started in two days and Hermione simply could not wait!

'Knock…knock…knock…'

'Mhmm…' Draco groaned.

'Draco…,' came the soft voice of Narcissa.

'Go away…' Draco said, 'it's too early…'

'You better wake up if you want to catch the train to Hogwarts,' you could hear the annoyance starting to creep into her voice.

'Ugh…fine…I'm getting up!' said Draco in a groggy voice.

'Good…you'd better be downstairs in 10 minutes, Draco. We've got half an hour to get to Kings Cross,' said Narcissa as she started to make her way downstairs.

'Bloody woman! Won't even let her son sleep in the early hours of the morning…' mumbled Draco even though he didn't mean anything by his words. He took off his boxers before taking a five minute shower.

He quickly dried his hair with a towel and then slipped on his black baggy pants, his black shirt which showed enough of his well toned muscles to make all the girls at school swoon over him and on top of his t-shirt he pulled on his black robes with green and silver borders before putting on his expensive black shoes. He looked at himself one last time in the mirror and decided on styling his still wet hair so that a few strands fell over his eyes, giving him that 'bad boy' look.

He just remembered about his Head Boy badge when he was looking for his wand. He looked for his badge everywhere but couldn't find it.

He managed to find it still in his envelope which he had gotten from Hogwarts in the middle of the holidays, informing him that he had become Head Boy.

He had not got a good look the first time he had gotten the badge. Now that he looked at it closely he could see that it was a small green and silver 'H' with a snake wrapping itself around the letter. He had to admit that it looked pretty 'Slytherin-ish.' He pinned it on to the top left hand corner of his robes before dragging his trunk and setting off downstairs.

He had ten minutes to get to Kings Cross. He quickly grabbed a buttered toast and looked for his mum so he could apparate with her. (A/N: I know that they had already done the apparition test and all that in their sixth year…but forget that it ever happened…lol)

Hermione had woken up at 6 a.m. because she could not get enough sleep. She had been tossing and turning all night thinking about how she will perform as Head Girl. She had already been stressing before she had gotten to school!

Since she was up, she went to have a long relaxing shower; she thought that she would need it today. After a 45 minute shower she got out of the bathroom, dried her hair and put it up in a messy bun. She dressed in her school uniform: grey knee-length skirt and her grey top. She would put her school robes on afterwards. She set her black robes with red and gold lining beside her Head Girl badge which was gleaming in the sunlight.

Hermione made sure that she had completed all her homework. She checked and double checked for mistakes. After she made sure that she had done everything correctly she placed her homework neatly in her trunk and settled down to read her Advanced Transfiguration text book.

XxXxX

She read for what seemed like minutes but turned out to be hours. Before she knew it, everyone was getting up and rushing into the bathroom and grabbing a bite to eat.

Hermione just took an apple to munch on, she felt as though if anything entered her stomach it will be pushed back the way it came. Her stomach was churning with butterflies. She didn't know why she was so nervous…it wasn't as if she had to spend the rest of the school year with someone she hated…right?

She just had a feeling that it was going to be a very unusual year…

XxXxX

At twenty to nine, Hermione ran up the stairs to put her robes on and fix her hair. She pulled her hair out of the messy bun and let it cascade out to the middle of her back. She applied a small amount of black eyeliner and mascara before putting on some clear lip gloss.

Hermione grabbed her robes and slipped them on, running her fingers down them, smoothing down any imaginary creases. She then carefully took her Head Girl badge, looked at it once more, and then pinned it to her top left hand corner of her robes where the Hogwarts emblem was sewed in. Smiling, she looked at herself one last time in the mirror before dragging her trunk downstairs and into the ministry cars the Weasley's had hired yet again.

XxXxX

Narcissa and Draco arrived with a small pop which went unnoticed by many passersby. They were standing in front of the wall which created a barrier in between them and the Hogwarts Express. They both slid forward and vanished into the wall and were now standing in front of the scarlet steam engine. 'This'll be the second last time I will see this train…' Draco thought happily, quite the opposite thoughts of the Head Girl…

XxXxX

Hermione, Harry and the Weasley's arrived at Kings Cross at 8.50 a.m. They all bustled along and slid through the barrier.

Hermione had tears glazed within her eyes. 'This would be the last time I will be heading to school…' she thought.

She didn't want this year to end…

'Come on 'Mione…don't cry. You're supposed to be happy. You know, we're graduating school this year. Imagine no more school!' Ron said with a dreamy look on his face.

Hermione chuckled, 'You do know that your thoughts of school and my thoughts of school are different by a light year.'

'Yeah…yeah…' said Harry waving it off, 'at least you'll get to enjoy this year…you know being Head Girl and all that. It's your dream come true isn't it?'

'Yes…I suppose I will enjoy it…' Hermione trailed off.

'Kids! Hurry up! The trains leaving!' Mrs. Weasley shouted.

Harry, Ron and Hermione (Ginny had already boarded the train) said their quick goodbyes to the Weasley's before jumping into the train.

XxXxX

'Draco…I hope you will have a wonderful year at Hogwarts,' said Narcissa.

'Of course I will, remember I'm Head Boy,' Draco said with an air of someone who had just been appointed as king of the world.

Narcissa laughed, 'Draco, I hope that you will not abuse you position. Bring the Malfoy name up to its standard. Make me proud Draco…' Narcissa said with a small sad smile.

This would be the last time my Draco would go to Hogwarts. After this he'll be graduating and finding a job; a family. 'I could only wish that everything goes well this year…'

Draco saw the tears which were threatening to spill out of his mother's eyes any moment.

'Mother…there's no need to cry' Draco started, 'I was only joking around…'

'Haha…I know. I suppose you would want to go meet your friends now,' Narcissa said as she checked her watch,' send my regards to them.'

With that, the whistle went off and Draco along with his trunk jumped onto the train.

XxXxX

'Oh…I just remembered guys! I have to go to the Heads Compartment to meet Professor McGonagall and the Head Boy!' Hermione squealed.

'Alright 'Mione, we'll see you later then,' Ron said.

'Good luck!' Harry said as he waved at her. She waved back.

Hermione moved along to the front of the train. She had once been in the Heads Compartment since all prefects had a full tour of the train in their fifth year. She remembered sitting down on one of the sofas and imagining herself as Head Girl and throwing out orders to the prefects.

She laughed aloud to herself as she stood outside the Compartment door.

'Well…well…well…look who we have here,' came the snide voice of Draco Malfoy.

Hermione groaned.

XxXxX

'Draaacccooooo!' that was the first thing Draco heard as he stepped into the compartment where is friends took residence. Pansy walked over to him and threw herself on Draco. (Poor Draco lol)

Draco had seen Pansy eyeing him when he was talking to his mother. He knew that as soon as she saw him she probably wanted to jump on him and snog him senseless. 'She probably didn't want to make a bad impression of her self in front of my mother' he thought. 'It's a pity I have to marry her, damn Malfoy laws!' It was very widely known that Malfoy's had arranged marriages, however bizarre it seems.

'Ugh! Pansy get off me!' Draco said in disgust. How he dated such a slut, he'd never find out. 'It's been four years since we've broken up...most people would've thought that you forgot about your obsession about me! Move on with your life as I have done with mine!' Draco said angrily.

Pansy huffed at him before crossing her arms and sitting on the seat next to the window.

Draco sighed. She just had to come and ruin his day like that! 'Women' he muttered.

'Hey Draco! My man!' shouted out Theodore. He was another one of Draco's friends. He had a big body and played Keeper in the Slytherin Quidditch team.

'Hey Theo. How are you? I haven't seen you around my place. What's going on?' Draco asked.

'I'm fine…I was just a bit busy…you know going overseas and stuff…' Theodore replied. 'Oh…that reminds me. Meet my wonderful cousin Hilda.'

Draco hadn't noticed her when he came into the compartment, 'What with Pansy throwing herself onto me' Draco thought.

'Draco meet Hilda…Hilda meet Draco,' Theodore said as his cousin stood up to shake Draco's hand.

Draco took a good look of her. She was rather attractive with brownish black hair, olive tanned skin and dark brown eyes she also stood at an average height. Draco also noted that she had a pretty fine body.

Draco moved towards her and held her hand and brought it up to his lips. He was surprised to see that she didn't blush, shiver or do anything that Pansy would do if Draco had done that to her.

Draco regained his composure and said, 'It's nice to meet you Hilda.'

'It's nice to meet you too Draco,' Hilda said with a pretty smile.

'Hilda would be in her sixth year, she used to go to Beauxbatons. Her parents wanted her to go to Hogwarts, so here she is,' Theodore said.

Draco nodded and took a look around the compartment. Pansy was still eyeing him with a pout, Draco glared at her. He then saw Blaise.

'Hey Blaise! I've seen a lot of you over the holidays!' Draco said. He noticed that Blaise was oddly quiet today.

'Course I have. You're my best mate aren't ya?' he said with a weak smile.

They sat in silence for awhile. Draco, concerned, would look over at Blaise a few times. The third time he done this, Draco saw that Blaise was staring at Hilda.

Draco gave Blaise a knowing smirk and Blaise looked at the ground. Draco grinned to himself before turning to Hilda. She also, Draco noticed, was staring at Blaise.

'Well what do we have here…a couple?' Draco asked himself. 'We could always have fun with a pair of lovebirds…'

'So Hilda…how was schooling in Beauxbatons?' Draco asked.

'It was alright. But it wasn't much fun,' Hilda said as she drew her eyes away from Blaise who was still looking at the ground.

Draco smirked. 'Oh right…I heard my mum saying that the students have separated classes. You know…umm…girls in one class and boys in another. Is that true?' Draco asked Hilda innocently.

'Err…yea,' Hilda replied as she squirmed in her seat.

Draco took a quick look at Blaise. He was now looking outside the window, trying to ignore the conversation which was taking place.

'So were you allowed to go on dates and stuff?' Draco asked. He was trying to keep the laughter away from his voice and tried to make the conversation as serious as possible. Everyone else was also hiding their laughter. Even Pansy! Theodore had to stuff his fist in his mouth to stop the laughter.

'Umm…yes we were allowed to go on dates,' Hilda said. She chanced a look at Blaise to find him staring right back at her, no one but Draco noticed this.

'So…have you had a boyfriend before?' Draco asked. He risked a look at Blaise. If looks could kill, Draco would've dropped dead the moment he looked at Blaise. He was sending daggers at him. He truly looked murderous.

However, before Hilda could reply, the compartment door slid open and Crabbe and Goyle stepped in. Their arms cradling cauldron cakes and bottles of pumpkin juice.

'Ghethy dragho,' Crabbe said with a mouth full of god-knows-what.

'Crabbe if you wish to talk to me please do not talk in gibberish, only Pansy here will understand you,' Draco said snidely.

Everyone laughed accept for Pansy who returned to her haughty expression. Draco sighed.

'Now hurry up and swallow and tell me what you said before,' commanded Draco.

Crabbe swallowed while Goyle was still stuffing his face.

'Hey Draco,' he said.

Draco sighed again. How they ever became friends Merlin knows…

'Oh yeah!' said Goyle. 'We forgot to tell you that McGonagall wanted us to remind you that you have to go and see her in…in…-where was he supposed to go Crabbe?' Goyle asked looking lost; again.

Draco stood up and walked over to them and said, 'You two have less brain than Pansy…and that's saying something.'

With that he stalked out of the compartment while everyone was laughing and Crabbe and Goyle yet again started eating.

XxXxX

Draco knew where he had to go. After all he had received the letter. He made his way to the Heads Compartment to meet with McGonagall and the Head Girl, who was quite obviously Granger.

Just as he thought this, he saw a figure cut across him and walk ahead of him. No one walks ahead of Draco Malfoy…
