A/N: I got an amazing review telling me how pathetic and cliche this story is. Well, I do agree with you. This plot is overused and really really old. But, well, I really enjoy Dramione in a way that, well, I wanna write it in every way possible, even if it's the most used storyline. I'm really sorry if my writing made you feel as though there is no talent left in the Dramione section, but please give this story a try. I really meant to write that I'm going to put my own twist to it. It's not the stupid 'they fall in love' type shyt. I understand how bothered you must be to see the same old stupid plot. And, sadly you didn't realize it was the first chapter,and I was going to explain why Draco was chosen in the next. That's how a story builds up, right? You make the beginning a sort of mystery so that people actually try to read the next chapters. If I explain why he was chosen in the first chapter, I have a feeling that people wouldn't really care for the next update. At all. I kinda thought it would be slightly obvious to why he was chosen, I mean, SLIGHTLY, but I guess that was because I was writing it anyway xD Sorry... But give it a try please... Thank you :) Oh and, I'm actually glad that someone hated my work! I'm going to remember you..uhh, whoever you are :P Thanks anyway, it was nice of you to review :)

Chapter 2

No, no, no! I couldn't believe this was happening to me. There had to be some mistake. Draco seemed as horrified as I was. Harry gave me a reassuring smile, as usual, and even Ron took a moment to stop stuffing his face and looked sympathetic. The whole feast rushed by me and I just couldn't eat anything. I saw how concerned all my friends looked, but I just couldn't. This was horrible.

Draco Malfoy hated me. Hated, with a capital H. And, I think I hated him too. Well, his words hurt. He was mean and I didn't understand what standards Dumbledore had been looking for. For once, Dumbledore seemed stupid to me. He knew how much we hated each other. I understood why I was chosen. Not to toot my own horn but I was the star pupil, well, at least of my Year. But Malfoy…Malfoy was the worst student there was, minus the grades. I knew he got excellent marks. But personality wise…No.

Leaving the feast early, I rushed to Dumbledore's office, knocking wildly. Dumbledore had returned halfway through the feast when he probably got sick of Draco's hurtful glares. I did not know the password to Dumbledore's and that was a huge inconvenience to me.

All of a sudden, the door opened. I walked in, anger clouding my mind. "Professor Dumbledore, I have never minded any of your decisions but this one, well, I'm sorry to say but having Draco as Head of Hogwarts is just plain and simple stupid. He doesn't deserve this position and-oh…" I stopped talking as I realized there was someone next to Dumbledore.

"Nobody really asks for your opinion, do they Granger?" Draco sneered at me from beside Dumbledore. I gulped, but I was still flabbergasted at Dumbledore's decision. "But you're a horrible student! You're the one who breaks more than half the rules all the time! You don't deserve this position!" I shouted at him, ignoring the fact that Dumbledore was in the room. "Sure, just because precious Potter and your boyfriend, the Weasel, don't break any rules! Just because you're, well, you're the 'perfect' trio doesn't mean you deserve this position either! You've broken more rules than I have." he answered bitterly.

Dumbledore cleared his throat as if to stop us, but I already had lost. In a way, Draco was right. Harry, Ron and I had broken many rules in the past years. Meeting Fluffy, walking around after-hours, smuggling Harry into Hogsmeade, and many more. I looked away in embarrassment realizing I thought myself higher than Draco when in reality, we were kind of on the same level. Well, except he was caught snogging people and I…I wasn't even caught.

Smiling sheepishly, I apologized to Dumbledore but he just brushed it away. "The rivalry is strong between both of you." He stated simply, motioning us to sit down. Draco remained standing as I took one of the chairs in front of Dumbledore's desk. I kept my eyes off Draco because I knew my face would be filled with guilt and it was something Draco did not need to see.

"Well, Miss Granger, I certainly did not expect you to say those words. I thought you would understand why I chose Mr. Malfoy." He continued. I was more confused than ever, feeling even worse. "Mister Malfoy, my dear child, knows every single place these couples find to, well, be around one another. Mister Malfoy will help you patrol, telling you where they hide. I thought you would understand that this was the reason I chose him since you're, well, you. I guess I overestimated you." I heard Draco scoff at Dumbledore's words. "She's not all that smart, you know?" Draco sneered at me.

I didn't answer. Either what I said would be really rude and off topic, or, well, in reality I had nothing to say. "Thank you Mister Malfoy, for those unnecessary words. Blaise Zabini was my second choice, but his parents have asked me personally to not appoint him as something that big because he has, well, a few other responsibilities which will be tormenting him well enough." I knew what Dumbledore was talking about; Blaise's parents were getting a divorce. Pureblood families rarely ever did that, but his parents had realized there was no way they could live with one another.

"Anyway, I need you two to stay in quarters that students cannot easily find or else, well, you two would be in some deep trouble. There's only one spot, sadly, and they are conjoined dorms. You will have dorms in your respectable houses as well, just in case you do not want to stay near each other. I will understand, considering your past. Now, you can leave and discuss where you will be staying." Dumbledore looked away, walking into deeper within his office. "Goodbye. And remember, making new friends is never a bad idea, especially if they're different from you."

Draco walked out quickly, not even waiting for me. Well, I knew he didn't have to but Dumbledore did tell us to talk. "Malfoy! Malfoy wait!" I shouted after him, running out of Dumbledore's office. I caught up to him when he stopped for a few moments. It was actually gentlemanly of him. "What?" he sneered at me.

"I-I'm fine with staying in the dorms Dumbledore provides. I mean, it'd be pretty cool to live in a place no one else knows the location of." I rambled. The truth was, I understood Dumbledore just wanted students to get along and the rivalries to subside. I wanted to do something to make Dumbledore proud.

Draco looked at me weirdly and I wondered if there was something on my face. Out of nowhere, he spat,"Granger, even if you paid me, I wouldn't stay near you. I was thinking of staying there because I thought you wouldn't want to, but now, well I'll stay with the other Slytherins. You don't deserve my presence you Mudblood filth!"

Yeah, so how was it? :3
