Anywaiz on with the story!
Hermione woke up early the next morning. It was only seven o'clock, which meant she had one and a half hours before breakfast started. As she lay in her bed, the memories of the other night came rushing back to her...being announced as Head Girl, the Future Life Program, Head Dorm…sharing it with Malfoy! And seeing him nearly naked in the bathroom. She blushed involuntarily. She got up; yawned, stretched and yawned a bit more before she grabbed her clothes and walked groggily towards the bathroom. She made sure to knock on the door before entering it. Luckily there was no one in it.
She stripped and had a quick fifteen minute shower before pulling on her grey skirt and white shirt; she would put her robes on later since it was quite hot at this time of the year.
She was hungry so she walked over to the kitchen and opened the fridge. It was magicked to hold more than it looked it can hold. It had mostly a bit of everything. She decided on scrambled eggs with toast and orange juice. She searched the cupboards for a pan and pulled it out. She wanted to do this the muggle way, besides she had a lot of time before classes started. So she cracked the eggs and scrambled them before she put some bread in the toaster and poured herself some orange juice. The scrambled eggs were quite hot when she took them out of the pan, so she set them on a plate and went up to her bedroom to choose a book to read from her own personal bookshelf.
She went up the stairs and took notice of the Head Boys open bedroom door. He wasn't in there…'Must be in the bathroom' she thought. She took a quick peek and saw that it was the same as hers but the colours were different, green and silver. She hurried into her bedroom thinking of what Draco would think if he caught her sniffing around his bedroom…she could just imagine the look on his face.
She walked over to the corner of her bedroom, where her bookshelf was. She looked for a book she would be interested in. She came across one which was called 'Hogwarts Today' she took it out and read the first few pages. Before she knew it, she was sitting on her bed and was deeply engrossed in the book before her. So engrossed that she didn't see a certain blonde Slytherin, sniffing his way over to the kitchen.
XxXxX
Draco had woken up at around eight o'clock. He usually slept in, even if he had classes that day. But he just couldn't get any sleep that night. His dreams were plagued with Hermione screaming at him for taking their 3 year old son on a Firebolt to play Quidditch and then dropping him from a mighty height so that he falls into the lake and get swallowed by the Giant Squid.
Draco shook his head to rid himself of these unbelievable thoughts. So he got up and grabbed his schools clothes and strolled across the corridor to the bathroom, as he went to the bathroom he caught a glimpse of brown hair bobbing around in the kitchen. He ignored it and continued walking. He had a quick ten minute shower, got dressed and made his way out of the bathroom and into the corridor which led to his bedroom.
As he walked to his bedroom, he caught a whiff of something his stomach was craving. He followed the smell and found himself standing over the table with a plate of freshly cooked scrambled eggs, toast and orange juice. He didn't know why, but his mouth suddenly started watering. He was surprised at this reaction since he had lived at the manor and had always eaten high class food. But at home it was never fresh, the houselves always made it beforehand.
'It must have been Granger who cooked this…' Draco thought. Before he could say anything else he found himself sitting down at the table and wolfing down the food. 'Who knew Granger was a cook…' the food tasted great.
So Draco had carried on eating until his plate was spotless. Never before had he had such a great breakfast! However…he shall not voice his thoughts aloud. After all, he was a Slytherin. After he finished he wiped his mouth clean and drunk the cup of orange juice.
He looked at his watch and noted that he still had quite a while before he had to go down to meet his friends, about half an hour. So he walked over to his bedroom and opened the door. He thought that he could do a spot of reading before heading downstairs. Just as he opened the door to go inside his bedroom, Hermione had opened her door at the same time to go down to the common room.
They turned around to face each other. They held eye contact for not more than a second before Draco said in a whisper, 'Granger…looks like you have hidden talents…'
After that he stepped into his bedroom…without a backward glance at Hermione who was staring at his now hissing snake, confused…
XxXxX
'Briiinnngg…' came the sound of the alarm clock.
Hermione looked up at shock. The alarm clock on her bedside clock was ringing… it usually didn't. When she got up to have a closer look at the clock, she noticed that it wasn't hers. She turned the alarm clock over and saw the Hogwarts emblem stamped into the back. Hermione figured that the clock was magicked to ring loudly if the owner is still present in the room when classes were about to start.
'Oh bugger!' Hermione thought when she had just realized that breakfast was going to end in about ten minutes.
She grabbed her bag and carelessly swung it over her shoulder and went towards her door, opened it and stepped outside. Just as she stepped out of her bedroom, the Slytherin Prince just seemed to enter his…'Wonder where he's been…' Hermione thought.
Hermione heard him drawl, 'Granger…looks like you have hidden talents…' Hermione Granger– for once in Hogwarts history- did not know what he meant!
So she just stood there for awhile before heading towards the common room. Her stomach was rumbling; it seems like she got carried away with the book. She then remembered the breakfast she had cooked herself. She eagerly rushed to the kitchen table and found her plate and glass…empty.
She thought for a few moments how this had happened…'House elves would not come and clean up since they are not allowed to enter the Heads Dorm without the permission of the Heads…' then it suddenly clicked, 'Malfoy!' She checked her watch and took into account that she had five minutes left before classes started.
She stormed up to his bedroom door and banged her small fists onto it as hard as it was humanly possible. 'Draco Malfoy! You open this door this instant!' she carried raving on for what seemed like ages but what were actually two minutes. Draco had been ignoring her for awhile and he wanted to get to classes on time and for that he would have to open the door.
So he resigned himself for the worst and opened the door. The first thing he felt was the force of a balled up fist striking the middle of his face; his nose. He doubled over in pain. He was a Slytherin and was expected not to show his emotions but being punched on the nose hurts…a lot.
He looked up to see the distressed face of one Hermione Granger.
'What the hell do you think you were doing!' it was more of a statement than a question.
'Oh…ummm…,' Hermione said as she stumbled over her words, 'It's just that…you ate my breakfast…and umm…hungry…Oh just forget it. I have to get to class!' with that she practically ran downstairs and left the dorm through the portrait hole.
'Damn Granger!' that was all he said before he walked into the bathroom, checked if his nose was broken –thankfully it wasn't- used a concealment charm to hide the now reddening area of skin Hermione had punched and made his way to his first class, Advanced Transfiguration.
That was the second time Hermione Granger had punched Draco Malfoy.
XxXxX
Hermione quickly checked her watch as she ran down the corridor. She had two minutes to get to class. 'Shit!' she thought. She arrived in the Transfiguration corridor just as Draco was entering it from the other end of the passage way. She didn't want to see him, le alone talk to him. So before he could say anything to her she rushed into the classroom and sat down in the middle of Harry and Ron. (Ron had surprisingly done well in his end of year Transfiguration exam) Hermione was glad to see that Professor McGonagall had not come in yet.
'Hey 'Mione,' Harry said.
'Mornin' Harry…' Hermione replied not even looking at him. She was staring at the door.
'You're a bit late today aren't you…and you didn't even come for breakfast. And it's the first day! How come you didn't come to the common room last night…where were you?' Ron said indignantly.
'Ohh… I just slept in for awhile…and I'll explain the rest to you later on' just as she said this Draco walked into the room. He glanced at the room and noticed that there were only a few students in his class. The only people from Slytherin were Blaise and Hilda. So he walked over to them and sat on the other side of Hilda. Draco knew that pair of honey brown eyes were watching his every move.
'Hey Draco,' Hilda said as Blaise looked at her fondly.
'Good Morning Hilda, Blaise…' Draco replied with a smirk.
'Hmmm…what?' Blaise asked as he shook himself from the daydream he was in.
Draco smirked, 'I was greeting you Blaise…but obviously you have more important things in that head of yours,' that was al he said before Professor McGonagall came swiftly into class just as the bell rung.
'Good Morning class. If you can all take out your books 'Transfiguration for the Advanced' we can get started,' Professor McGonagall said as she begun the class.
XxXxX
So that was how the day went. They had all their classes, had lunch in the Great Hall, chatted and all the usual things like Hermione badgering the boys to take notes and the boys not taking any notice of her. Before she knew it, she was walking to the Great Hall for dinner.
The three of them sat at the Gryffindor table. Hermione sighed; it had been a very long day today.
'What's wrong 'Mione? You look worn out,' Harry said as he looked Hermione over.
'Oh it's nothing. I just stayed up really late yesterday night and all I want to do right now is go to bed…' Hermione said as she stifled a yawn.
'That reminds me…where were you last night?' Ron asked her curiously. Hermione groaned she knew this was coming up.
'Um….since I'm Head Girl, it is Hogwarts tradition to have your own Dorm…' she said hesitantly, 'and you have to share it with the Head Boy…'
'Oh that's great…' Ron said before he stopped himself and a look of utter horror crossed his features, 'did you just say that you, Hermione Granger, have to share a dorm room with the Head Boy, Draco Malfoy?'
'Errr….yeah' Hermione said in barely a whisper.
'Hermione has to do what?' Harry asked furiously.
'You guys are making a big deal out of nothing. Malfoy and I share a dorm so what. It's not as if we have to share a bedroom or anything is it?' Hermione said. She was getting annoyed at how her friends were treating her. 'I'm not a baby you know! I'm old enough to take care of myself. Thankyou very much!'
She was so angry that she didn't notice that she was talking quite loudly. Before either of the boys could say anything she stormed out of the Great Hall, her best friend Ginny had seen the scene unroll and got up from her seat and followed her out of the doors of the Great Hall.
XxXxX
''Mione wait!' yelled Ginny as she sped up to catch up with her friend.
She held onto Hermione hand and spun her around so that they were both facing each other. 'Hermione…do you wanna talk about it?' Ginny asked in concern. Hermione silently nodded.
'Come on; let's go to my dorm…' Hermione said as she dragged the younger girl to the portrait on the third floor.
'Unity' she whispered.
'Who chose the password?' Ginny said as she chuckled.
'Long story…' Hermione replied
They climbed into the dorm and Hermione heard Ginny gasp.
'Wow 'Mione! This is great!' she said in awe. She turned back and looked at Hermione seriously, 'looks like your going to have me visiting you more than necessary…' she said in a sing song voice.
Hermione stared at her. Not really understanding the meaning of the words Ginny had spoken. After a while of thinking Hermione was on the floor laughing and clutching her sides. Watching Hermione rolling on the floor laughing made Ginny shed tears of laughter. This was why Hermione loved Ginny…she could always make her laugh. Sure she spent more time with Harry and Ron…but they were boys, they didn't always know what to talk and when to.
'Come on Ginny… let's go to my room,' she said after finally wiping tears of laughter from her eyes.
She walked to her room and opened the door and Ginny ran into her room and threw herself on Hermione's bed.
'Hermione…this is so unfair! I'm gonna try my best to become Head Girl next year. From now on I'm going to be taking notes in all my lessons, I'll be a bookworm, I'll go to the library every lunch beak and I'll do all my homework-' she broke off seeing the death glare Hermione was sending her. Then suddenly, for the second time that evening- both girls started rolling around laughing.
'Ok…let's get down to business now,' Ginny said as she sat up properly in bed. Hermione's face fell quite obviously.
'Ok. Well, you know in the holidays when I got the letter from Hogwarts telling me that I was going to be made Head Girl I was so happy it was my dream to become Head Girl. And when I got that letter it felt like I was in a dream. Getting the letter, jumping up and down in happiness, telling my friends and family, them praising me… I pictured it exactly like that…down to the very moment where I would stand up in the Great Hall when Professor Dumbl- McGonagall calls my name.' she looked up at Ginny, slightly blushing. Ginny gave her a small smile and nodded her head, an indication for her to continue.
'And then I met the Head Boy, Draco Malfoy. I had never thought of him being Head Boy. I thought that after the incident last year that anyone in their right minds wouldn't choose him. But something had obviously happened for Professor McGonagall to make him Head Boy…' Hermione said.
'But everyone knows that he comes second in all the subjects…except for Potions, he's top of the class for that one,' Ginny said playfully as Hermione sent her yet another glare, 'only because Snape favors him of course…' Ginny added.
'Yeah. But he can be such a prat sometimes! And to think that I have to share a dorm with him!' Hermione groaned.
'You have to what?' Ginny screeched.
'I have to share a dorm with Malfoy. Didn't you see his room when we came up here?' Hermione questioned.
'No! I was too mesmerized looking at your common room that I didn't notice…Oh well. But the point is that you share a dorm with Draco Malfoy!' Ginny said giddily.
'Err…so?' Hermione said, confused.
'So? So! What do you mean 'so'? You Hermione Granger share a dorm with Draco Malfoy, the Slytherin Sex God! What more could you want?' Hermione's mouth opened and closed in horror.
'Ginerva Weasley!' Ginny flinched; she didn't like being called 'Ginerva.'
'How could you think such thoughts? It's Draco Malfoy we're talking about here. Our enemy, Harry's enemy! The one who is responsible for the death of one of the most powerful wizards who ever graced the land!' Hermione lectured.
'Ok. I agree. But apart from all that, imagine that none of that happened. He's a good looking guy who has many special, umm…talents. If you know what I mean…' Ginny said slyly.
'But-'
'No 'buts' Miss Granger. Admit that you think he's hot!' Ginny said.
Hermione stayed silent for awhile, recalling the events of last night. It seemed that she was silent for too long since Ginny's patience was running out.
'Hermione! Hermione!' she said loudly as she waved her hand in front of her face, 'what are you thinking of?' she wondered.
'Nothing,' Hermione said, but the blushing gave away too much.
Ginny's eyes widened, 'What happened?' she asked bouncing up and down on the bed.
'Umm...nothing…' seeing the look Ginny was giving her she knew that she would not let it go this easily. She groaned. She would have to tell her.
'Ok. Last night when I was going to the bathroom…' she continued to say the story, Ginny, surprisingly, had not said a word through out the story. Although her mouth was wide open.
'Oh…my…god! No way!' Ginny said as Hermione finished telling her story. 'So…how did he look like? Is he toned? How many packs does he have? Is what Parvati and Lavender say true?' Ginny kept on going on forever.
'Ginny stop! How am I supposed to know?' Hermione said a little angry at her friend.
'I'll stop,' Hermione sighed, 'but only if you describe in twenty words or more, what you think of Malfoy's body,' Ginny said in between fits of laughter.
Hermione looked at the time and noticed that they had forty five minutes before they had to go to Health Class.
'Ok!' Hermione said as she resigned herself for the worst. 'Draco Black Malfoy, who is in his seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and is Head Boy, has a nice body. There happy?' Hermione cried.
'No. I told you to describe his body! Not tell me his life story!' Ginny said. 'Just say it Hermione!'
'Fine! Draco Malfoy has a well toned and slightly tanned chest! With a six packed stomach. Which is enough for any girl at Hogwarts -heck- the whole world to drool over? Draco Malfoy has a chest to die for!' Hermione finished with a slight blush. Seeing the look on Ginny's face, Hermione couldn't help bursting out into a fit of laughter again.
'Hermione… you're a lucky witch!' was all Ginny said before she too started laughing.
'Oh and you won't believe what happened today morning…' Hermione said as she started to tell Ginny about the food, the yelling and the punch.
By the time Hermione finished telling her, they both were red in the face, tears were running down their faces and they both were clutching their sides in laughter.
'Ginny….it's time…haha…for us to get…going…Health Class…10 minutes…' Hermione managed to say in between fits of laughter.
'Ok…I'm coming,' Ginny said as they both stepped out of the bedroom and made their way to the bathroom. They looked at themselves in the mirror and noticed that their hair had gone all over the place.
'If anyone saw us like his, after we've been missing for over 20 minutes their gonna think that we were doing a bit more than talking,' Ginny said as she winked at Hermione slyly.
Hermione punched her on the arm playfully and said, 'I didn't know you swung that way Ginny…'
'You never know…' she said as Hermione gave her a look which clearly meant 'Yeah right' 'I was only joking!' they both checked their reflection once more in the mirror before walking downstairs, both of them grabbing an apple to eat and climbed out of the portrait hole.
'Ginny, thanks a lot for this evening. I really enjoyed it,' Hermione said to Ginny, really meaning what she said.
'It's alright. I know how you feel. It's probably you nearing that time of month,' Ginny said, smiling.
'I guess the saying 'laughter is the best medicine is true'…' Hermione said.
'Medicine? I thought it was 'Laughter is the best potion'…' Ginny said confused as Hermione just shook her head.
It's true. Laughter is the best medicine…or in this case, potion.

You are all acknowledged at the beginning of this chapter (I think). I got more than 10 reviews for Chapter 7 which is a first…So you now know the plot…happy I hope?
Anyhoo…I found it a bit difficult to write this chapter…one was because school has started and I had to finish my holiday homework since I didn't finish it in the holidays because I was too busy writing this story! And second of all because I'm down with the flu…but I'm alright now…so I could get on with writing the next chapter! Yaay!
And I know that nothing much happened in this chapter. It was just kind of a filling in chapter; you know where everyone catches up with what's going on. And it was filled with humor which was quite easy to write, so I wanna know what you think of that…tell me in a review? looks at you hopefully
And about the Health Class. It will be in the next chapter. You will get to know the pairings…excited? I was thinking of adding it in this chapter…but I thought I'll leave you hanging…laughs at you evilly lol nah…I was actually not sure who to pair who with.
I'm sure about these pairings:
Hermione and Draco (Duhh…Dramione for a reason lol)
Ginny and Harry (Blaise is saved for someone else...hehe)
Hilda and Blaise (My friend taxism will be very happy about this)
I'm not so sure about:
Luna, Pansy, Lavender, Parvati, Theodore and Ron.
Therefore could all those who read this chapter please message or leave me a review telling me who should get paired up with whom. If you don't want anyone from the 'I'm not sure about' list, paired up in this story please tell me who and why. Same goes for the character that you want to be in this story but I haven't mentioned. It's kind of like a poll thing. The ones with the most votes will be paired up together. How would u like that??
