A/N-

Hermione- *Walks in* Really Parkinson? Mudblood? I suppose you don't have the brains to think of anything new. *scoffs*

Draco- *Stands in the corner, out of sight and smirks*

Pansy- How dare you! You filthy little mudblood! Of course I can think of something new you-you *stammers*

Draco- Come on Pansy, she's got you there *Smirks*

Pansy and Hermione- *Jumps before turning to look at Draco*

Pansy- You're siding with the mudblood over me? Traitor!

Draco- Don't call her that. Honestly Pansy, you think the war would have changed you a little.

Pansy- *Storms off*

Blaise- *Walks in and sees Pansy run off* What the hell did I just miss?

Draco- Pansy calling Granger a Mudblood.

Blaise- *Gasps* Still? You think the war would've changed her.

Draco- That's what I told her.

Hermione- *Laughs hysterically*

Draco and Blaise- *Looks at her*

3rd Person- Omniscient (Sorta)

Hermione climbed aboard the Hogwarts express, feeling excited. She was head girl! It had been her dream since she'd read about it in Hogwarts: A History. As she passed the barrier to get onto the platform, She spotted Harry, Ron, Ginny, Luna, and Neville standing by an entrance to the Hogwarts Express. She walked over to them. "GINNY!" she squealed before hugging her, She broke the hug and walked over to Harry, "It's been too long!" She walked over to Luna and gave her a hug, "How've you been?"

"Quite good actually. How are you?"

"I'm good!" The train whistle sounded. "We should go!" Once they were all settled into a compartment, Hermione left for the meeting with the heads. As she walked in, she saw the back of a head covered in platinum blond hair. 'No. It can't be.' "Malfoy?" she exclaimed in surprise. "Why are you here?"

"Hello Granger" He drawled. " Nice to see you too." He was pleased to see that she looked flustered. "In case you couldn't tell, I'm Head Boy

Hermione's mouth dropped open. "Are you kidding me?"

"No, Granger. I assure you, this is 100 percent real"

"Well then" Hermione straightened up. "If we're going to have to live with each other for a year, we should call a truce."

Draco nodded. "Alright. Terms?"

"We both stop provoking each other. That means no name-calling, hexing, or sabotaging each other. Deal?"

"Deal."

Hermione took a deep breath. "Ok. Now that we've got that settled, let's get down to business. We need to figure out pa-"

"Granger, we can't pair people up until we know who the prefects are." Draco smirked.

Hermione scowled. "What I was going to say, was that we need to figure out the patrol schedule." Draco started to interrupt but Hermione cut them off. "I don't mean WHO I meant when. Instead of names, we can do pair one, pair two, etc. "

Draco nodded. "Okay then. Shall we start?"

Hermione raised an eyebrow, "That's it? No rude comments, no mudblood?"

Draco flinched at the word and his gazed flickered to Hermione's left arm. "Don't call yourself that." he snapped before he went back to work.

The two of them worked out a schedule fairly easily without their usual bickering. As much as she hated to admit it, Malfoy had some good ideas. Soon enough, it was time for the prefects meeting. This year, the prefects were from seventh and eighth years, instead of sixth and seventh. The head students looked up as the prefects entered. The Gryffindor prefects were Ginny and Harry, the Ravenclaw prefects were Luna and Terry Boot, the Hufflepuff Prefects were Ernie Macmillan and Hannah Abbot, and the Slytherin Prefects were Blaise Zabini and someone Hermione hasn't seen much but she knows as Crystal Night. Everyone, with the exception of Hermione, Blaise, and Crystal, was looking at Malfoy with pure hatred.

Hermione cleared her throat. "Hello everybody. Welcome to the first Prefects meeting. All that's happening today is explaining your roles and expectations. First, to promote house unity, Professor McGonagall has asked us to alternate pairs, meaning everyone in this cabin will be partners this year. Therefore, you will need to get over any grudges you may hold. Malfoy and I have agreed to a truce, we trust you can too. Secondly, you are to set an example at ALL times, you are ROLE MODELS to the rest of the school, therefore they must uphold the HIGHEST standards at all times – Including uniform, adherence to school rules, effort, attendance, punctuality, attitude, respect, manners, motivation to work, etc. We will have your patrolling schedules out soon. That's all for today. Everyone went back to their compartments, and they soon arrived at Hogwarts. Hermione got into a carriage with Harry, Ron, Ginny, Luna, and Neville. Hermione noticed that she could now see the thestrals. After the war, she supposed that almost everyone could. The ride to the castle was silent, as nobody had anything to say. As the carriages stopped, Hermione realized that they weren't going into the Great Hall, they were going to the room they waited in as first years. She looked up and saw that Luna had noticed this as well. Frowning, they followed Professor McGonagall inside. When everyone was inside, she spoke. "Many of you may be wondering why we're here. We have lots of new rules, and we know we'd have your attention if you weren't in the Great Hall. First, there will be NO discrimination against somebody's blood status, no matter what it is. Second, there will be NO discrimination because of their part in the war. Thirdly, all house rivalry's must be diminished, especially the Slytherin and Gryffindor rivalry. Failiure to follow these rules will result in first, a month of detention, them a month of suspension, and if it happens again, expulsion." The room exploded into chatter at those words. "Silence." the professor said, her voice harsh. Everyone stopped talking abruptly. "Thank you. Now, the biggest change that is happening this year is that you all will be re-sorted"
