Two years later

Hermione's POV

Seventh Year

This was it. The big 7th year! I'm going back to Hogwarts! I've never been more excited in my life. Especially because I'm head girl. I'm already on my way to school on the Hogwarts Express. In the compartment with me is Astoria Greengrass. I know she's a Slytherin and I hate them all but Tori is different. We met after my fight with Harry and Ron two years ago. She was kind and helped me. I love her like a sister. "Hey, Mione.. We're about to have company." Astoria whispered to me. I straightened up just as the compartment door opened. In the doorway stood Draco Malfoy. He, as usual, was smirking. "Granger! Astoria! It truuuly is amaaazing to see you two." He said, drawing out the words so it was obvious that he was insincere. Behind him stood Blaise Zabini and Daphne Greengrass, Tori's sister. Both had matching sneers.

"What do you want Malfoy?" I hissed through my teeth.

He placed his hand over his heart, acting mock offended. "Why Granger, I simply want to tell my fellow Head student that there is a meeting for us with a teacher. Obviously that is you."

I was more than shocked. Who in their right minds would appoint Draco Malfoy as Head Boy. "You made Head Boy, Malfoy? That's ridiculous. You can barely tie your shoe let alone be someone in a position of any type of power." I said scathingly, giving him a look of pure hatred.

Faster than she thought was possible Malfoy grabbed her and threw her across the compartment. Rage was flashing in his eyes. "DRACO! Don't-" Daphne started to say but Malfoy whirled around and slapped her. He did it so fast that I barely caught it. He around as though he had just woken from a dream. "Come on Granger."He said picking me up and dragging me out of the compartment. Astoria rose to follow but Malfoy turned and jeered at her as if he was daring her to follow them.

Draco's POV

I was furious. Not only at Daphne and Granger but at myself. How could I have slipped? How can one little girl make me feel so angry, so annoyed, so...alive? I could feel her in my hands as I dragged her along. A scream brought me out of my musings. "Malfoy, If you don't let go of me this second, I swear to Merlin.." She let the sentence hang. I nearly laughed. As if she could harm me.

"Well, Granger, if I didn't know any better I'd say that was a threat. You see, I don't like threats. Not unless I'm the one making them. So that is why, no, I will not be letting you go." I smirked. "Here we are." I had taken her to a door in the teacher/adult section of the train. I let go of her and opened the door. Inside was Professor Dumbledore himself. I saw Granger jump.

"Professor-" She started to say.

I cut her off "Look Dumbbell-er-Dumbledore say what you've gotta say and let's be done with this. I unlike you have endless things I could be doing with my time." I gave him my best "I'm so much better than you, you stupid piece of filth look" To my surprise he smiled.

"Sit down, both of you, we have much to discuss."
