The List

Hermione changed into her robes and trudged down the train. She went into the same carriage with Harry, Ron and Ginny. "Hey Mione, don't forget the dare." Ginny winked as she passed Hermione going to her seat. "Yeah whatever," she replied angrily. They all sat there in silence. After a while, they landed on the school grounds. "It's good to be back. And it's our last year," Harry said sighing. "Yeah," Ron said.

They all made their way to the Great Hall. The usual four tables for each of the Houses lay before them. Hermione looked at the enchanted ceiling and saw that it's a cloudless night. They all walked towards the Gryffindor table and were greeted by Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan. Hermione saw Ron looking at Lavender and said, "Why don't you go to her?" Ron looked at her, his face showing obvious signs of regret. "I think I want to break up with her. You know, just to cool off a bit." He replied. "Oh, well you can just tell her," she advised. "And go straight to hell." He said glumly. "That's rubbish Ron, she'll understand. I promise," she added after receiving a doubtful look from Ron. "Fine then. Maybe I'll try tomorrow. " he said turning to face the staff table where Professor McGonagall was already standing up. She turned to leave the Great Hall and Hermione believed that she's going to bring the sorting hat and the first years.

After a minute, Professor McGonagall entered the Great Hall now accompanied by the first years, who were all looking terrified, and the sorting hat that's placed on a stool. They all walked forward and began the sorting. After the sorting, the new members of the Gryffindor House were greeted by cheers and pats on their backs. The noise and chattering broke out and instantly died when Dumbledore stood up from his seat. Everyone turned their attention to him. "To our new students, welcome! And to our old students, welcome back! I'm pleased that everybody arrived here safely," he stated. Everyone was still quiet when he continued, "I would like to remind you that the Forbidden Forest is still out of bounds unless for classes and if accompanied by a teacher. And Mr. Argus Filch just reminded me that dark objects and dangerous potions are not allowed except for educational purposes. I think that's all. Let the feast begin!" he said and with a clap, food appeared on each of the table. Hermione saw Ron who instantly got a chicken wing and put it in his mouth. She giggled and helped herself.

The few minutes they started chatting about their summer holidays. They all tried to keep track on everyone, as they were all seventh years and will be leaving school at the end of the year. When the subject about the headboy and girl was discussed, Hermione felt a little saddened. Not only will she share a common room with the ferret, but she wouldn't be able to spend time with her friends because of head duties and classes. "They said that the headboy and girl are Hermione and Malfoy," Dean said to Seamus. "Yeah. I bet you're glad about it aren't you, being headgirl and all?" he asked, turning to face Hermione. "Actually, for the first time in my life, I hated being headgirl. I think you know why," she answered. "You won't enjoy it if Malfoy's around. But it's obvious that he'll try to avoid you as much as he can having that pureblood thing in him." He said patting her on the shoulder. "Thanks a lot Seamus," she said smiling. "Not at all, not at all," he replied also smiling.

At the Slytherin table…

Draco was munching on steak when he saw that stupid Finnigan boy patting Herm- wait a minute, scratch that-mudblood on the shoulder. He frowned and turned back on eating his steak. He enjoyed the feast really, his friends were there. He was no longer with Crabbe and Goyle but with Nott and Blaise. At least they're smarter than those apes he thought.

His mood however, was changed by Pansy's arrival. I already allowed her to touch my hair in the compartment, why is she walking towards me now? He thought. "Hi Drakie-poo" she said wrapping her arms around his neck. "Go away Pansy," he said.

"Why? You know you want to," she said batting her eyelashes and sitting beside him. "I don't want anything to do with you Pansy," he said still not looking at her. He saw at the corner of his eye Granger standing up from the Gryffindor table.

"But Drakie-poo," Pansy said touching his thigh. He quickly glanced at the Gryffindor table and slapped Pansy's hand away. The last thing he wants is for Granger to see Pansy groping him. "Hey! We both know what we want," she said. "No I don't," Draco replied and he turned to leave. He was about to go to the Slytherin common room when he remembered that he still has to meet with Dumbledore.

He went to the headmaster's office and saw Granger already standing there. "Hey mudblood. Why are you here so early? Didn't you have to meet with Scarhead or Weasel?" he asked. Hermione looked at him and said, "It's none of your business what I do or who I meet Malfoy. If you excuse me, I have to meet Professor Dumbledore." She turned to leave but stopped.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. You're the headboy. How very lucky of me," She said with her back facing him. Draco walked near her and said, "Acid pops" The gargoyle started moving revealing a circular staircase that led to Dumbledore's office. They stepped on and waited for it to stop. A big wooden door carved with intricate designs faced them as the staircase stopped from rising. Hermione knocked three times.

"Come in," a cheery voice inside said. Hermione opened the door and Malfoy said, "Ladies first," giving her space to enter. Even though Hermione appreciated this act, she knew that he was only doing that because he doesn't want to lose his headship and that he wouldn't dare call her 'mudblood' in front of Dumbledore.

Dumbledore smiled at them before sitting straight. He gazed at them with those calm and oh-so-intriguing eyes and they suddenly felt so vulnerable. "Welcome Ms. Granger Mr. Malfoy or I think it's better to say, our new headboy and girl," he said and Hermione managed to give a weak smile. "I'm quite pleased that you managed to get here without hexing each other," he said chuckling. Hermione blushed at this while Draco smirked.

"Anyway, as you already know, you two have been chosen as the new heads. I will discuss to you your responsibilities. Firstly, you two will share a common room with the password, friendship. You can also enter every house's common room because you're the one who'll give them the password.Second, you two are responsible for posting the dates of Hogsmeade trips. Third, you will patrol the corridors up to midnight. It's up to you to choose who will do it or if you want, you can do it together. And last, you will be the ones to tell our prefects what to do. I trust that you two will be able to do those things?" he asked looking at them again.

"Of course Professor," Hermione said looking cheerful. She smiled and her eyes sparkled. She was so excited to begin with her work that she even forgot that she'll have to share a common room with Malfoy.

"Yeah," Draco said. "If we ever want to have fun this year," he added but no one noticed him because Hermione raised her hand, "Professor?"

"Yes, Ms. Granger?" he asked kindly. Dumbledore looked at her again. "I was just wondering if we're going to take advance classes because Percy mentioned it to us when we were in fourth year." Dumbledore smiled.

"I I'll say that Mr. Weasley's right. You are going to take advance classes. Tomorrow morning, your head of house will give you your schedule," he replied. "Oh, thank you Professor," Hermione said playing with the hem of her robes. Draco smirked again and Hermione looked at him clearly annoyed. "If you don't have any questions, you may go," the headmaster said. They both said goodbye and proceeded to their common room.

They stopped in front of a portrait of the Hogwarts Castle and a beautiful lady. "Friendship," Hermione said. The portrait swung open to reveal a spacious common room. (Hermione's jaw dropped) The room was colored green, silver, red and gold, both of their house's colors. On the left side of the room, the fire's already roaring. In front of the fireplace are two comfortable looking chairs and an expensive looking rug. On the opposite side of the room however, was filled with shelves where almost a hundred books stood. There were two staircases that lead to two doors and another door at the center. On her side, Draco laughed. What's funny? she asked herself. She glanced again at the door and realized something.

Oh no, Hermione thought. Don't tell me that I'm going to share a bathroom with Malfoy. But before the thought could spoil her happiness, she darted towards the shelves and pulled out Defense Against Dark Magic by Mallory Malkins and began reading.

Draco smirked when they entered their common room. It really is bigger than the Slytherin common room but his room back at the Malfoy Manor's bigger. At least it has the same grandeur as my room back at home he thought. But he snorted when he saw Hermione's face. Maybe she still hasn't seen something as grand as this in her whole life. Draco laughed at the thought. While Hermione darted towards the shelves, Draco went up to his bedroom.

He opened the door and saw a room just like the boy's dormitories in his common room. It was painted with the Slytherin's house colors and a snake was painted in the wall. He also has his own desk and a larger bed. Draco hinted that Hermione's room will be the same except for the colors. He opened his trunk and started to get ready to sleep.

Hermione awoke with a start. She looked at her watch and it read four in the morning. I'm so tired she thought. She got up to bathe after realizing that she won't be able to go back to sleep. After showering, she got her bag and made her way to the Great Hall. It was already six in the morning when she arrived there.

"Hey Harry, Ron," she greeted sitting between her best friends. Ron was already munching on his breakfast before Harry can even say a word. "Mate, can't you sit still without eating every second?" Harry asked and Hermione laughed.

"I wash bwery hungwy vish mornching." Ron said. Harry snorted. "Whatsh?" Hermione giggled and returned to her food. After a few minutes, Ginny arrived.

"Hey Gin," Hermione said. "Hey Mione, I already have the list of things that you're gonna do in your dare," Ginny said grinning sitting across Hermione.

Hermione nearly choked on her food. She almost forgot about the dare. "I was hoping you'll forget about it," Hermione said, a little disappointed. Ginny laughed. "I never forget things like these," she replied. "Speaking of which, here comes ferret-face," she said, looking behind Hermione. Hermione rolled her eyes. "Like I care," she said.

"Yes you will. If you don't want to live in the Forbidden Forest," Ginny said and Hermione shivered. "Yeah," Harry added patting Hermione on the shoulder. "This is not helping. Can I just see the list?" Hermione asked. "Oh, sure. Here." Ginny replied giving Hermione a piece of parchment. "Just check it if you've done it, kay?"

Hermione read it:

1. Patrol with him one night wearing perfume and get as close to him as possible.

2. Talk with him in a friendly way.

3. Talk him into being friends with you.

4. Be his girlfriend but don't tell anyone.

5. Go out on a date. (Hogsmeade?)

6. Announce to the whole school that you're going out with him. (In any way)

7. Annoy him until he breaks up with you

Hermione's eyes looked like it'll burst out of their sockets. "Is this what you call a dare?" Hermione said a little loudly. Some people nearby looked at her and she blushed. Professor McGonagall approached their table and gave out schedules.

"How lucky! We have Double Potions," Harry said sighing. This is really going to be tiring Hermione thought.

Please tell me if it's okay. I hope you enjoyed!
