Well this is chapter two. It's not a very important chapter. But it's still a chapter. I hope you like it. Also I would like to thank you for the reviews. It made me very happy. Thanks
Discliamer: I own nothing but the plot and Serenity. I love putting my own characters in stories.
The train finally arrive at the great castle and the students reluctantly got off. Everyone seemed ready for a new year at this wonderful school. Though Hermione could tell the first year students were a little nervous. Especially this one girl. It reminded Hermione so much of herself when she first came to Hogwarts. Not by her looks but by the way she acted. The girl walked into a crowd of people so Hermione didn't worry about it. Draco and Hermione had to be the last people to take a sleigh to the castle so they could make sure that all the students got there safely. When it seemed as though everyone had left Draco and Hermione split up and walked around the perimeter to check if anyone was left behind. Hermione found no one so she walked back to the place were she was to met Draco at.
Soon she saw him walking around the corner holding a young girls hand. She had a petite figure. She was small, and could be no more than 4' 2". Her long flowing blonde hair fell just below her shoulder blades. She wore a white flowing skirt that reached her knees and a pink sweater. The girl was very beautiful, and you could tell from her emerald green eyes that she had been crying.
"I found her crying over there." He pointed behind him. It was the same girl that Hermione had noticed before.
"Everyone left me and I didn't know what to do." The little girl said. Soft tears still falling down her face. Draco kneeled down in front of the girl and wiped her tear away.
"I didn't leave you." Draco said softly.
"Neither did I." Hermione added in. The little girl smiled. And they all got in a sleigh together. It was kind of a tight squeeze so the little girl was sitting on Draco's lap.
"So my name is Hermione and that's Draco, which you probably already knew that. What's your name?"
"Serenity."
"Serenity is a beautiful name." Hermione said.
"I had my mum had a cat named Serenity, but it got hit by a car when we were in muggle United States." Draco stated like it was nothing. Serenity began to cry as she leaned over against Hermione's shoulder.
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know that was upsetting." Draco spoke softly. Hermione looked at him funny. Like how could you say something like that to a little girl.
"No it's just that my parents died in a car crash three years ago. And since I was so young and didn't have any family I had to live in an orphanage in the muggle word. That's where we were when they died. And you bring up something getting hit, It just brought up bad memories." The young girl spoke sounding above her age.
"Oh I so sorry. If I had known I wouldn't have said anything." Draco said feeling his heart sink. After Hermione comforted Serenity, she stopped crying and they arrived at Hogwarts. Once inside they sent Serenity on her away to sit with the other kids in first year, and they told her would come check on her later.
"She is defiantly going to be in Gryffindor." Draco said to Hermione once Serenity was gone.
"Why do you say that?"
"She's to sweet to be a Slytherin and she's just to Gryffindor to be anything else." Hermione nodded in agreement and they went there separate ways. Hermione sat at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall. Immediately Ron started questioning her.
"Where were you? What took you so damn long?"
"Sorry Ron. Malfoy and I had to be the last ones to catch a sleigh so we could make sure nobody was left behind."
"We'll talk about this later Hermione."
"Chill out mate, it's not that big of a deal. She's Head Girl. She going to have responsibilities that you can't always be there to look over her shoulder on." Harry said seeing the anger in Ron's eyes. Ron tried to agree, like he understood but Hermione knew that he didn't. There was going to be hell to pay later. Just then Dumbledore began his speech.
"Welcome returning students and new coming students. I welcome you to what I hope to be another wonderful year at Hogwarts." He continued on his speech about Quidditch and sorts then he began about head students.
"I trust most of you already know who the Head Boy and Head Girl are, but for those of you who don't, your Head Girl who is from Gryffindor is Miss Hermione Granger and your Head Boy is Mister Draco Malfoy from Slytherin." Many people clapped. "Would you two please come up here." Hermione and Draco both walked up there and stood next to Dumbledore. They glared evilly at each other.
"This year I figured I would try something new." The Headmaster announced to the students. "This year the Head students will be sharing a Common Room. Amongst other things. This we hope will help seal the rift between houses." Hermione and Draco's mouth dropped. As did the other student's looking at them.
"Headmaster please I must object. This will never work. Malfoy and I hate each other."
"Yeah I agree with Granger Sir."
"Well this is what I and the other Professors have decided and that stands. You two may return to your seats now." Dumbledore spoke. Draco went back to his Slytherin table and sat next to an upset Pansy and Hermione went back to her Gryffindor table with her three best friends that were in totally shock.
"Mione how could he do that?" Harry asked.
"I don't know, but I'm very upset. Me and Malfoy have to share a common room. Oh god help me."
"Really, that arrangement will never work." Ginny said.
"I don't like this Hermione. I don't trust the little prick." Ron stated angrily.
"I know I don't either but there's nothing I can do about it Ron."
"Hermione can I talk to you in private." Ron asked.
"Yeah sure." Hermione and Ron walked out of the Great Hall. Draco watched as they left together. He started to get a bit angry, but didn't think much about it. Once out in the hall Ron slapped Hermione in the face.
"You little bitch. I saw you in the Head's compartment with Malfoy. You were crying on his shoulder. What the fuck were you doing?"
"Nothing I was upset and Draco was just trying to help."
"Did you just call him Draco. So what are you two buddies now? Ron was getting angry now and Hermione could tell. He was more angry than usual which meant he was going to be more violent than usual.
"No I hate Malfoy. He's a little fucking prick you know that."
"But you like the little prick don't you?"
"So what if I did. What you gonna do hit me again? You think your real macho cause you can beat up a girl. Well your not, all you are is a fucking coward." Hermione spat. Ron didn't like what she just said. A single tear fell down Hermione's face as his fist connected with her jaw. It felt to Hermione as though her jaw had just been shattered. Then he took her by her hair and throw her down on the marble floor. Before he left he kicked her in the side.
"I hope you learned your lesson." Hermione didn't responded she just laid there on the floor as Ron walked back in the Great Hall. Draco noticed Ron walked in by himself but he knew he left with Hermione.
'Ok if she isn't back in here in 10 minutes I'm going to look for her.' Draco thought to himself. Meanwhile Hermione gathered all her strength to lean herself against the wall. Then this time instead of a silver tube with cocaine in it she pulled out a small bag with white pills in it.
"This X should make the pain go away for a while." Hermione said to herself as she took a few more pills. Soon after she passed out. Serenity had also seen Hermione leave and not come back yet, so she went to go find her. A minute later Draco got up to find Hermione but when he was half way to the door Serenity came running up to him.
"Draco, I found Hermione passed out in the out in the hallway." Serenity said panicked.
"Take me to her." Draco said now beginning to panic himself. Serenity and Draco ran out of the Great Hall. All the while Ron was watching.
'So he does care about her." Ron thought. Draco quickly ran to Hermione's side. He checked her pulse to make sure she was alive and she was.
"Hermione wake up." Draco said. Nothing happened.
"Hermione please wake up." Still nothing happen. Draco continued to shake Hermione and try to make her wake up. Serenity was very frightened, but Draco was too. After 15 minutes Hermione finally woke up. Draco hugged her tightly then realized what he was doing and let her go. He eyes were glazed over and red. She was shaking. He wasn't sure what had happen to her. But he knew if Ron had anything to do with this he was going to make sure the little weasel pay.
"Hermione what happen?" Serenity asked.
"Well I not exactly sure." Hermione said sounding as though she was drunk. Draco noticed her acting different so he told Serenity everything would be ok and to go sit back in the great hall. She hugged Hermione and left.
"Granger, were you doing drugs again?"
"Calm down it was just a little ecstasy." Just then Professor McGonagall walked out.
"Miss Granger are you ok?" She asked.
"Yeah I tripped and hit my head." Hermione said. Just then Draco noticed the bruise on her face. Which he just figured was from her falling after she took the drug.
"Well get up, I am to show you to your room." Hermione got up and quickly grabbed her side which hurt really bad. Draco noticed this too. They walked down the hall and Hermione would see something and speak about it like she was an incompetent idiot.
"Have yall seen my fish?" Hermione asked.
"Granger, I don't think you have a fish." Draco said.
"No I do have a fish his name is Fishy and he is purple. He was in my pocket and now he's not." Professor McGonagall looked at her if she was crazy.
"Granger you never had a fish in your pocket."
"Yes I did. I want my fishy back." Hermione yelled loudly, stopping. "I won't move until I get my fishy back."
"Miss Granger did that fall effect your head. Do you need to go to see Madame Pomfrey?" Draco knew that if she went to see Madame Pomfrey that they would find drugs in her system.
"Granger your fish is in our room, if you talk about him before we get there he'll disappear." Draco whispered. "And we don't want that to happen now do we." Hermione shook her head no. So they continued walking. Soon they arrived at a portrait of a painter painting a picture of a man and woman dancing. Professor McGonagall told them the password and went on her way.
"Guardian Angel." Hermione said aloud.
"Who goes there?" The painter in the painting asked.
"I's is Hermione and thiss ises Malfoy."Hermione said slurring her words.
"Malfoy? What kind of first name is Malfoy?" The painter asked in his accent. Though it wasn't an accent that you would think a painter would have. Draco was beginning to get very annoyed.
"No his name is Draco."
"Well then why missy did you call him Malfoy?"
"Well because I don't call my enemies by there first name."
"Yeah I don't even like talking to the mudblood."Draco said angrily.
"Mudblood, Malfoy you shouldn't speak such foul words to a woman with such beauty as Hermione." the painter said.
"Thank you." Hermione said.
"Oh bloody hell could you just let us in." Draco asked impatiently.
"Well what's the password Malfoy."
"Granger already said the password."
"Like I know who Granger is. Just tell me the past word and I let you in." Hermione then began to fall. Draco caught her and leaned her against him.
"Guardian Angel." Draco spoke aloud. They stepped into there common room. Just then Hermione passed out.
