Chapter 1 - Head Boy and Head Girl
Draco began to drum his fingers on the wooden table, trying not to vomit at the scene going on in his back. The filthy Mudblood was late, for the first time in her life, and she brought the Weasel with her; as if it wasn't enough for him to share a room with her, the stupid Weasel had to bring her in there like she was a little kid that doesn't know the path to McGonagall's office.
"Alright, Mr. Weasley, off you go" Professor McGonagall said, shooing Ron. Hermione sat in the other armchair beside Draco with a smile on her lips "Now that the two of you are both here, I guess I can finally talk about why I brought you here."
Hermione felt a sudden enthusiasm in her chest, after the kiss, and the Head Girl business. But then she reminded herself that Malfoy was in the same room, and she thought there was no chance for him to be the Head Boy.
"You are now two grown up students, and I believe that I can rely my trust on you two... That's why I'm naming you two Head Girl and Head Boy."
Hermione almost jumped from her seat with happiness; she had been waiting for this her entire life, and now it was finally becoming true. Professor McGonagall handed them a golden badge, that Hermione quickly put in her robe.
Draco, on the other hand, didn't look happy or even glad about being named Head Boy. Mostly because that meant that he had to spend much more time with the Mudblood than he had intended.
"And there is one more thing," Professor McGonagall said, before they leave the room "Me and the rest of the teachers discussed between us, about bringing the four houses more united, and we decided that the Head Boy and Head Girl this year are going to share rooms."
Draco shuddered at the thought. Share rooms? What does she mean with 'sharing rooms'? If he had to spend even more time that he intended with the Mudblood, he was going to throw himself out of the Astronomy tower.
"What does that mean?" Draco hissed, looking furtively at the new director and the Mudblood "Sharing rooms?"
"Yes. You two are going to share a room. In your tower, that is going to be your new house, you have a living room, a small kitchen, which is a privilege, and each of you have a room for yourselves, of course, we don't want any problems-" McGonagall said and Draco wanted to laugh. Problems, with Granger? Over his dead body "You see, you are going to have your own privacy, but this is a way to make the houses united."
Hermione was astonished. One thing that she was looking forward to have was the fact that she was going to have a room for herself... and now she had to share it with Malfoy? Freakin' Malfoy? She would prefer anyone else instead of Malfoy; she would even share the room with Peeves.
"That's absurd," Draco hissed "It's crazy thinking that Slytherin's can be 'friends' with Gryffindor's-" Draco faked a laugh "Believe me professor, this is a waste of time."
Hermione looked madly at Draco "You see professor, I understand what you are trying to do here, trying to make Hogwarts a better school by bringing the houses together-" Draco laughed, 'does she always need to be annoying?' "But it's impossible for my house, Ravenclaw's and Hufflepuff's, to have a good relationship with the overbearing people in Slytherin!"
"Overbearing people?" Draco hissed, gazing the Mudblood "Ugh, I can't even look at you."
"Well, you have to get used to the idea." Hermione hissed. Draco stood silent, trying his best to not answer back, or he sure would use a spell on her for her to disappear.
"Mr. Malfoy and Mrs. Granger, please calm down," McGonagall said in her imperative voice. Draco and Hermione both looked at the floor, embarrassed about their discussion "This task is focused, mostly, on you two. I hope I can count on you to do this."
"Yes, Professor McGonagall." Hermione murmured, trying to look responsible and ready to help. But she knew that this thing wasn't going to work. Maybe even professor McGonagall would understand that, when she saw what kind of person Malfoy is.
"Now, here's the keys to your new dorm. We tried our best to make it cozy," she handed the two students a pair of keys "Behave yourselves, please. Off you go." She said, shooing them.
Draco was sick with the idea of sharing the dorm with the Mudblood. He rushed himself to the door and opened it; the Weasel, that previously had tried to listen the whole conversation through the door, fell on the ground, by Draco's feet.
"Well, this is kind of the image that I have of your future," Draco teased, making Ron turn red with anger. He instantly stood up and leant to Draco.
"You-" Ron started, but Hermione rushed to calm him down "I'm sorry, I was making sure that you were alright with that... prat in there-"
"Well Granger, I guess that the Weasel here is going to be sleeping at our door to make sure I don't attack you during the night." Draco teased again, gazing at the two of them. Ron leaned at him but then stopped, trying to understand what Draco just said.
Oh, how he loved teasing the Weasel! First, because he was friends with Potter. And second, because Draco always felt a need to joke about him. It was such a funny thing to watch, that Malfoy couldn't resist to continue, once he started.
"What does he mean by that? Sleeping at your door?" Ron asked and Hermione sighed, closing her eyes. The day was just getting worse, and obviously that Draco was the reason why.
"We need to talk, I have something to tell you," She said, grabbing his arm "Come on!"
Ron gave Draco a furious look and followed Hermione, that kept on calling him.
The Weasel was going to be pissed and was going to be red as soon as he knew what was going to be happening for the rest of the year. Draco smirked at the thought, but at the same time he shuddered; he was going to share the dorm with the most disgusting person on that school. At least, he was going to make Weasel angry.
Hermione walked for a few minutes and then stopped when they were close to the Great Hall. She ignored Ron's confused looks while she gazed around the hall, thinking how would she say what happened in the office in a calm way. The thing was, she wasn't calm. She was loosing it! She was about to run and throw herself from the tower that was now her "house". She was getting anxious, and at the same time, scared of what reaction Ron was going to have. Obviously it wouldn't be good, and Hermione was afraid of what Ron may do.
"Well?" Ron said after a while "Are you going to explain what Malfoy said or not?"
"Yes, I am," Hermione took a deep breath "Me and Malfoy were named Head Girl and Head Boy-"
"That's good." Ron said, smiling "Well, for you. I don't like him."
"Let me finish, please," she closed her eyes, like it was going to protect her from Ron's reaction "But we have to share a dorm. Together."
Ron stopped chewing his lip and gazed at Hermione. She kept her eyes closed, waiting for Ron's explosion... but nothing. She blinked and then she saw that Ron had turned red.
"That filthy...!" He muttered between his teeth, his look fixed on the ceiling "I'm going to kill him!"
"Ron, control yourself. I'm not happy neither, but I'm not going to run in the halls to try kill Malfoy, am I?" she said, as she ran a hand through her hair, and shook her robe "Besides, this is not really Malfoy's fault. It's McGonagall's, she is the one that wants us to share the dorm."
"You are not defending Malfoy, are you?" Ron asked, with his eyes narrowed.
"Oh Merlin, no!" she rushed to say, not ready to see another Ron's explosion "I'm just saying that neither Malfoy or me wants this, but it's not our choice."
"Oh alright-" Ron sighed, gazing at the floor "But whenever he does something stupid to you, tell me and I will knock him down."
Hermione laughed at Ron's reaction. Since they started dating, Ron has been protective about her - maybe a little bit more than he should -, but now Hermione felt relieved that he was like that; she would need that protective speech everyday, so she would not lose her mind when she was with Draco in the dorm.
Draco smirked seeing Weasel by the Great Hall door, looking at his table, with his face redder than the scarlet in Gryffindor's emblem. The best thing about sharing a dorm with the Mudblood was the constant opportunity of teasing the Weasel. It would make Draco's day, for the rest of the year.
There was almost no one in the Great Hall by that moment, but Draco wanted to return anyway so he could get a moment for himself before going to his new house.
"Drake, you really should eat something," Pansy runned her fingers in his arm. Draco wasn't in the mood to discuss anything with Pansy, not even in the mood of shaking the arm that she was touching. But he know that if he didn't say something, she wasn't going to leave him alone.
"Why should I? Soon as I get into that dorm, the only thing I will want to do is vomit," he said and Pansy laughed, touching is cheek.
"You are so funny," she flirted and Draco shook her hand "I'm really sorry about that, but I guess I can make you feel better" she whispered into his ear, her nose touching slightly in his cheek.
Pansy liked him, it was obvious; but Draco didn't, but yet he needed some entertainment, and sure Pansy was a good one. She wouldn't get tired of him and obviously she wasn't very smart to realize that Draco just needed her to clear his mind, to have fun.
"Shoo Pansy," the hoarse voice of Blaise broke the tension between Draco and Pansy, making Pansy sigh. She looked at him, raising an eyebrow "Get out of here, I need to talk with Draco,"
"Too bad, I was here first, wait for your turn-" she said, turning her face to Draco.
"Move it, Pansy!" He hissed and Pansy shuddered.
"Meet me in the Broom Cupboard at 7 p.m." she whispered in Draco's ear and stood up, gazing furtively at Blaise. Soon as she disappeared, Blaise sat and looked at his friend.
"Still giving Pansy some hopes?" Blaise joked, smirking at Draco. Draco smirked and looked at Blaise.
"I need to have some fun in this boring school," he said, in a playful tone "What do you want, Zabini?"
"Rumor has it that you are a Head Boy now," Blaise leant back and stretched, smirking. Good, Draco thought, rolling his eyes, Blaise already knows too "and rumor has it that you have to share a room with the Mudblood there," Blaise pointed at Gryffindor's table, where Hermione and Ron were smiling at each other.
Draco felt suddenly disgusted by the what he saw and what Blaise said.
"I don't understand why you are laughing," Draco hissed, watching Blaise laughing at his face "Stop it, Zabini."
Blaise stopped laughing but a smirk kept trembling on his lips. He gazed at Draco very carefully and then he sighed "Well, I wish you luck. You are going to need it"
"And some spell to protect me from Mudbloods," Draco snarled, looking at Granger.
"Cheer up my friend," Blaise pat on his back "Maybe you can have a little fun with her too."
"Never in my life," he said, quickly and disgusted "Not even if she was the only girl breathing in this Earth."
Hermione only told her friends her situation a few minutes after telling Ron. Ginny and Harry, that have been all they kissing and hugging, stood quiet when Hermione dropped the bomb.
"With Malfoy?" Harry looked at Hermione with his eyes narrowed "That's gross."
"How are you going to make it? You know, live... with him," Ginny muttered "He's an awful person."
"I'm aware of that," Hermione shrugged "He bullied me for years, and now I have to share a dorm with him. But I'm sure we can act like adults. At least, I can." she sigh. Who was she trying to fool? Malfoy couldn't act like an adult, specially around her.
"Good luck, Hermione" Ginny muttered, giving her a pat on the hand "If we need anything, we are here to help you,"
"Yeah, we can punch him in the face if he says something stupid" Harry said, looking a little bit enthusiastic with the idea of hitting Malfoy.
"I already told her that," Ron grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her close "I will not let him do anything bad to you, Mione." He kissed her cheek and Hermione felt her face turning red.
"That's gross" Harry rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, but when you are kissing my sister, I can't say a word about it." Ron hissed.
"Oi, don't you ever dare to say something about my relationship," Ginny hit Ron's head with a book "I can take care of myself."
"Well guys" Hermione grabbed her books close to her chest "I need to go see my new dorm." she said, feeling a little bit sad about leaving her friends and go face the new dorm and Malfoy.
"Do you want us to go with you?" Ron said, ready to walk beside her. Hermione laughed but she forced him to back off.
"No need," she said "I can take it from here."
"Bye Mione." Harry waved at her.
"See you guys tomorrow" she said before turning her back on them and started walking out of the Great Hall.
The school halls were empty and Hermione felt alone there. I wish I had to share a room with Ginny, she thought, while climbing the stairs towards the tower were her dorm was situated.
She looked for the keys in her bag and opened the door. A wow escaped from her mouth when she opened the door. The dorm was a lot bigger than she had imagined. She closed the door behind her and started looking around the room. The living room was decorated in tones of gold and silver. A big couch and two armchairs were in the middle of the room, turned to an enormous white fireplace; there was a big window too, that could almost suit as a wall. Hermione runned her fingers through the glass, viewing the big forest and a small river from there. A few steps and she found the kitchen, that was much more modern than the one she had at home. And then two doors. She opened the one with the Gryffindor emblem.
Another wow escaped from her mouth when she opened the door of her room. Walls painted in red, a golden queen-size bed, a armchair coated in tones of gold situated by a window, with a sconce pointed at it. It was beautiful, and she almost forgot that she had to share that house with Malfoy.
Speaking of Malfoy, she haven't seen him since that moment in professor McGonagall's office. Curious, Hermione rushed to enter on Malfoy's room, that was almost equal to hers, in tones of green and silver.
"McGonagall said that I was still going to have my own privacy," she jumped from her place, not aware that Malfoy was there. He was standing by the door, with his arms and ankles crossed, looking at her furtively "but I guess that's not really like that."
"I was just curious," she muttered "I'm leaving now."
Draco didn't say nothing to her but Hermione turned around and said "Goodnight". The only answer she got was the bang of the door right in her face. She sighed and runned to her bedroom, lay on the bed and the first thought in her mind was 'this is going to be the worst year ever'.
E/N: I wanted them (Harry, Ron and Ginny) to know about Hermione and Draco living together in this chapter, so I made it quick. I didn't want to lose another chapter for it, so I can continue the story. And also, of course that Blaise already knows what happened... he knows everything! Haha.
Please give me some feedback, so I can know if you guys are liking my story. Thanks!
