Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, just the plot and a few characters.

Last time:

I stay in the tub for a bit longer before I get out. I dry off and get dressed. I sit down at my vanity and brush out my hair. It is so much easier to take care of now that it isn't just a mess of curls. I put it in a French braid and go and lay down in my bed. My last thought was about how everything was going to be different from now on.

This time:

Once again I wake with the sun on my face, having forgotten to close my curtains last night before going to bed. I look at my clock and see that it is still early. I decide to just lay here for a while.

Not long after I wake up I feel one of my brothers pushing against my mental shield. I groan before I lift it.

'Yes?'

'Just thought I would tell you that your Hogwarts letter was here.' –Derick

I don't even bother responding. I am up out of bed; robe on and out the door in under a minute. It wasn't much longer until I was down in the dining room, ripping my letter out of my brother's hand.

Before I even opened my letter it hit me that this was my last year at Hogwarts. So much has happened over the past six years. But now that the war was over maybe I would get to have a normal year at school for a change. But then again having a professor, the most feared one at that, as a father, that might not be possible. I can see it now. Everyone thinking that I am getting good grades just because my father is a teacher. I work and study hard for my grades; it's not my fault that I am intelligent. I was just born that way, and considering how smart my father is it's not that surprising that I am as smart as I am.

My father's voice breaks me out of my thoughts. "Are you alright princess? Are you going to open your letter?" He has a grin on his face, telling me that he knows something that I don't.

I nod my head and open the envelope. Inside is the standard letter that each student receives. A list of books and other things that are needed for the coming school year. But even after taking the letter out the envelope was still much too heavy so I look inside of it. There is another letter in it. There has never been more than one letter.

When I look at the second letter I almost drop it. I can't believe it. Pinned to the letter by magic is the Head Girl badge. I made head girl. I fall back into a chair, still not believing my eyes.

When I look up at my father and brothers my father has an even bigger grin plastered on his face. This must have been what he was grinning about earlier. Being a professor he would have known ahead of time who the head boy and head girl were. When I see my brothers they are both holding a letter, similar to the first one I opened. My jaw drops.

"You two are going to Hogwarts?"

They both grin and nod their heads.

"Now you won't be all on your own with Draco all of the time. And now we get to spend even more time with you after missing out on the last 16 years. Besides, we have always wanted to go, but because of his place in the war Dad didn't think that it was a good idea to have me there. He knew that most of the fighting and such would be at Hogwarts, he didn't want to put us in the middle of it. He wanted us to be as far away as possible. If he had known before who you really were he would have gotten you back soon and taken you away from Hogwarts, to protect you." Derick told me as he ate part of his breakfast. Larsin and Daddy both nodded in agreement with what Derick said, and I knew that all of it was true.

The rest of our meal was passed in comfortable silence. After we all finished and the dishes were cleared away I headed up to my room to get dressed. I chose a simple black tank top, and dark-wash denim shorts and some black sandals. I redid my braid and kept my hair out of my face; with it getting warmer in the days I thought it would be best.

Since it is such a beautiful day out I thought that I would spend it out in the garden, reading one of my new books. Grabbing a pair of sunglasses and a book I head out to the garden. Stopping at the same spot Draco had taken me to a few days prior, when we decided to make a new beginning for ourselves.

I'm halfway through my book when I am startled by the clearing of a throat. When I look up Draco is trying not to laugh. I give him a little glare.

"Is there a reason you had to scare me?"

He sits down next to me. "I heard you got your Hogwarts letter today." He smiles.

I smile back. "Yep, plus more."

"I know. Your brothers told me when I got here over two hours ago. I just kept waiting for you to come back inside. But after seeing you so deep in your book I knew that it would be a long while before you came in."

"So they told you I made Head Girl?"

He nods his head and gives me gentle hug. "Yeah, congratulations."

"I wish I knew who the head boy was before the start of term but the letter didn't say and Daddy won't tell me."

His body shakes with the laughter he is trying to hold in. "He actually won't tell his little princess something?" I just pout at that, I like being Daddy's little princess.

Draco reaches into his pocket and pulls out what looks like my Head Girl badge. "Again, congratulations." And he gives me the badge and stands up and heads back to the house.

I look at his retreating figure confused. I thought my badge was up in my room, on my desk with my letters. I know he wouldn't go in my room without me telling him he could.

I look down at the badge and flip it over so I can see the front and my jaw drops. It isn't my Head Girl badge I'm holding. It's the Head Boy badge. I whip my head up and look in the direction he went. Draco is Head Boy, and I'm Head Girl. I smile at the thought.

I stand up and stretch before I head back into the house. His badge in one hand and my book in the other. I keep my expression blank when I get to the room my brothers and Draco are hanging out in. I walk right up to Draco and put his badge in his hands. My brothers see what I gave him and their jaws drop. "They told you I was Head Girl, but did you mention you were Head Boy?" He shakes his head sheepishly.

"Well it doesn't matter." I sit myself down on his lap and wrap my arms around him in a hug. "Congratulations Draco, you deserve it. You've earned it." I kiss his cheek and both of us blush a light pink.

My brothers just burst out laughing at our flushed faces. I try to get up but Draco's arms wind tight around me, not letting me go. He pulls me closer to him and I bury my face in his shoulder, so my brothers can't see that it is an even brighter pink now.

"Dude! Why didn't you tell us you got Head Boy? That's huge!" Draco just shrugs his shoulders at Larsin and tightens his grip on me a bit making me smile into his shoulder.

The four of us spend the rest of the afternoon together just talking, me staying on Draco's lap because he wouldn't let me go. After things had calmed down from finding out Draco was Head Boy I asked where Daddy was and Derick told me he had to go to a meeting at Hogwarts. To start preparing for the new school year.

When the daylight started to fade Draco stood up and set me in the spot both of us had previously occupied, saying that he had to get home before his parents decided to come get him. He promised he would have dinner with them to celebrate his status as Head Boy. I stood up and gave him another hug and a light kiss on his cheek and congratulated him again. After nodding and kissing my forehead he left. Not long later Daddy was home and we all set down to dinner. The conversation light, and the food delicious.

Much like the night before after dinner I went up to my room to relax before bed. I'm glad that the Head Boy I have to work with is someone that I know, get along with…and like.

I lie down in my bed and curl up under my covers, relishing in their warmth. I close my eyes and smile at how good things are despite what Harry and Ron have done. Soon I can't keep myself awake and I let my body succumb to sleep. Draco's face the last image I see before the darkness takes me under.
