AN: I'm going to change the rating to M because of language and some of the situation that will happen later on in the story. This chapter has been updated!

Chapter 3:

Draco's POV

Draco walked into the Head's compartment with a smile on his face. He turned around to close the door and turned back around. Then he saw her…GRANGER!

Neither of them said anything until she stood up and walked over to me.

"Malfoy, I really want a peaceful last year at school so I say we should make a truce from here on out that we act civil to each other," she said.

Draco just looked at her like she had grown a second head because he had expected her to go bolting out of the compartment after seeing him. He then realized that she had extended a hand. Draco looked at it and then extended his own hand to connect them.

She then sat back down and picked up her book that she had been reading. He sat down across from her and looked out the window while waiting for Professor McGonagall to show up.

Hermione's POV

Hermione was sitting there wondering what had just happened. She was so surprised that she had the courage to do that.

Professor McGonagall showed up a few minutes later to see that both of the Heads were sitting there across from each other peaceful, not even glaring at each other. She was quite interested in what had happened but would ask later.

Hermione looked up at one of her favorite professors and smiled. She saw Draco look up at the same time.

"Hello, Professor," she said at once. Draco followed suit.

"Hello Miss. Granger and Mr. Malfoy," McGonagall replied, "I'm so happy to have two extremely smart teenagers as you as the Heads this year. Now onto business, this year we will be hosting a Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day ball. It will be up to you two and the prefects to plan these balls. Anything that you are not sure about ask the Headmaster or me. Also you will both be sharing a common room. I hope that you two will be able to put your long-standing differences aside and at least be, at the very least, kind to each other. No I must be leaving to finish time tables before tonight."

With that the professor walked out of the compartment.

Hermione than turned to Draco and then said, "I'll be back in a few moments."

Draco wasn't quite sure what to do after Granger left so he decided to try and catch up on some much needed sleep.

While Draco was asleep he had a dream about what his mother had told to him about a year ago.

Flashback:

"Draco," his mother called from the sitting room as he walked by it.

"Yes mum?" Draco said as he walked in and sat down across from her.

They didn't have to worry about his father or the house elves walking in on this conversation. His father was at the Ministry and his mum had sent the all the elves off to buy items for the manor.

"I know how much you hate the mask that you have to wear at school and on outings," she started, "But when your father gets arrested, promise me Draco, that you will be kinder to the muggles and muggleborns."

They both knew that his father would be arrested soon and that the Ministry wouldn't let him buy his way out this time.

"Yes mother I promise," Draco said.

End of Flashback.

Hermione's POV

When Hermione got back from seeing Harry and Ron she found Malfoy asleep on the seat that he had claimed as his for the train ride.

While she was with Harry and Ron she had told them about what had gone down with Malfoy.

Flashback:

"That sounds really weird," Harry started but was cut off by Ron who said, "I wouldn't trust him 'Mione."

"'Mione what are you going to do about Malfoy?" questioned Harry.

"I don't know yet," she said.

End Flashback:

She turned around and closed the door as quietly as she could then sat back down.

She pulled out her iPod and turned it on. Hermione sat there for a while listening to her iPod and reading her book. She felt as if someone was watching her so she looked up to see Malfoy starting at her with a puzzled look on his face.

She took out one of her ear buds and tilted her head as if to ask "what?"

"What is that thing you're listening to?" he asked.

"It's called an iPod. It is a muggle music device. I put my favorite music on here and then I can listen to it where ever I go." Hermione said.

Malfoy looked at her for a few more seconds before looking to the device in her hands.

"I'm very curious about it," Draco said softly, as if only for his ears to hear.

Hermione didn't know why but she asked Malfoy if he would like her to show him what the iPod does. He looked at her like she was crazy for a minute before slowly nodding his head.

Draco's POV

Fifteen minutes later Hermione sat on Draco's side of the compartment showing him how to take pictures, record videos, play games and listen to music. He was so fascinated by everything on the small device. Granger had even offered to let him listen to it but he declined saying that they should probably get ready to change into their school robes.

Draco stood up and grabbed his travel packet, took out his robes and left the compartment. He quickly walked to the nearest bathroom but of course got dirty looks from anyone that passed. Everyone knew his father had been in the inner circle of the asshole called Voldemort. But nobody but his mother, Dumbledore, and McGonagall knew that he was forced to do all the shit wanted of him when he didn't want to. He wished that people could forget what he had done but knew he would have to gain peoples trust.

Draco arrived back at the compartment to see Granger standing on her tip toes trying to grab her travel pack but with no success. He started to chuckle at her.

"Malfoy how about stop laughing and help me," she said.

"Why should I," Draco replied.

"Because it would be the civil thing to do," she said sweetly.

Draco sighed and walked forward to where she was standing. He extended his arm and grabbed her bag. He then handed the bag to her.

"Thank you," she said before walking out.

Hermione's POV

Hermione went to the bathroom and changed into her school robes. She was glad that Malfoy seemed to be trying to be civil with her. When Hermione looked out the train's windows she saw that they were very close to getting to Hogsmeade Station. She quickly packed up her other clothes and made her way back to her compartment to gather her iPod and book.

The train pulled into the Station and Hermione and Draco gathered their things and exited their compartment to go their separate ways.

"Goodbye Granger. I guess I'll see you later," Draco said before walking away leaving Hermione standing there alone.

Don't forget to be awesome and review! Love to all!
