Chapter 2

Hermione said bye to her friends as they parted ways. She made her way to the front of the train, helping those in need along the way, to the Head's compartment. She slid open the door and was surprised at who she found laying on the seats. That someone was none other than Draco Malfoy. She couldn't believe he, the boy who had tormented her the previous six years along with her friends, was Head Boy. 'This must be a mistake or joke', she thought.

As Hermione starred at Malfoy, she couldn't help but notice how different he looked as he slept. He had this innocence about him, which Hermione doubted he ever was in his life, but there was something else she couldn't figure out.

Draco slowly began to stir and opened his eyes. He wasn't in a deep sleep and felt the presence of someone watching him. His eyes slowly glanced toward the door. His eyes trailed up the girl's body until he realized it was Hermione.

"What are you starring at!" he barked at her, losing all the innocence Hermione had caught a glimmer of.

Hermione jumped. She couldn't believe she had been starring at him and let him catch her in the act.

"Are you deaf, Granger?"

"No", Hermione replied putting up her defenses.

"Then stop starring at me and close the damn door", Draco ordered as he rose off the seat and stretched his arms above his head.

Hermione glared at him as she pulled her trunk in and closed the door. She put her trunk on the rack above her across from Draco. Before sitting down she pulled out her bag and began digging through it as she sat down. Draco watched her from the corner of his eye as she pulled out a small silver device, her iPod, and book. She put in her ear buds and turned on The Beatles, her favorite Muggle band, and opened her book.

After ten minutes, the train gave a lurch and slowly pulled away from the platform. The Prefects would soon arrive for the meeting and Hermione was dreading. She didn't want to see Ron. Draco wasn't looking forward to the meeting either but for different reasons. He just didn't want to deal with the Prefects or anyone at all. He could tell she was getting tenser as the meeting drew closer. Hermione placed her bookmark in the book and closed it. She then turned off her iPod and placed the two away and gathered her materials for the meeting. Once everyone was there had arrived, Hermione became nervous. She had no support from Draco and was all on her own. But once she started talking, it all flowed naturally like she had practiced during the summer. She ignored Ron the entire time along with Draco who just sat in his seat with his arms crossed against his chest.

Hermione was thankful when the meeting was finally over. Ron tried to say something to her but Ginny dragged him away, waving bye. Draco took note of the tension between Hermione and Ron. During the whole meeting he did nothing but watch everything that happened between the two Gryffindors or lack of. When everyone was gone, Draco stretched back down across the seats and starred up at the ceiling thinking. Hermione got her iPod and book back out and continued to listen to 'I am the Walrus'. She couldn't wait to get out of the compartment and Draco was thinking the same exact thing.

The rest of the day was all a blur for Hermione. After the Feast, Hermione walked to her new dormitory. She came to the portrait. It was a young lady in a purple dress sitting on a bench in a courtyard. Draco stood there, frustrated. He turned when he heard approaching footsteps.

"What's your problem?" she asked. She enjoyed seeing him frustrated.

"She won't tell me the password. She said she wouldn't say until you got here." Draco spat at her. He turned back to the portrait and said, "So what is it?"

The portrait started laughing, "You should already know it. I'm not telling you."

Draco's jaw dropped. Hermione couldn't help but laugh either. The portrait continued, "You should have received it in your letter."

"Why didn't you tell me that in the first place?" he said to the portrait angrily.

Hermione stepped forward, "The password is Beatles."

The portrait swung open and Hermione stepped through first then was followed by Draco. The common room has huge but neither of them cared. They only cared for their own, separate rooms. The rooms were large too and decorated in their respective house colors. Each room contained a king sized bed, a closet, a door leading to a private bathroom and other odd and end things. Hermione didn't see the need for such a large bed but loved it anyway. She took a running start and jumped on the bed. She soon fell asleep, still in her uniform. Her dreams were filled with a blond Slytherin.
