The sun was out but it was an unusually cold day for September. The Hogwarts Express was speeding through the countryside taking no notice to the endless fields outside. The leaves on the few trees it passed were blowing in an intricate dance.

As Hermione looked out the window she noticed that the world seemed at peace even after what had happened last year. A chill ran down her spine as she recalled the events of her fifth year at Hogwarts.

Suddenly the compartment door flew open as her two best friends walked in. Ron Weasley sat down next to her and Harry Potter sat across from Ron, each carrying an armful of treats from the food trolley.

"Hi, Hermione," said Harry, offering her a pumpkin pastry as he shoved a whole one in his mouth. She rolled her eyes at him and refused.

"Where have you two been?"

"Wer des it luk like, Hermeonay?" replied Ron with a mouthful of chocolate frogs while trying to open a box of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. She ignored him and looked out the window.

"So, Ron, how are the Chudley Cannons doing this year? I haven't been able to follow them," asked Harry.

Hermione rolled her eyes to herself. Always Quidditch.

"Hey guys," Ginny Weasley said, as she opened the compartment door.

"Ginny, save me!" Hermione said, patting the seat across from her.

"Quidditch?"

"Yes," Hermione answered with a look of utmost pain on her face. Ginny sat down across from her and they started talking about their summers.

As the sky grew darker and they neared school, they noticed their ever growing hunger. The talk soon died down and they changed into their robes.

Hermione stepped off the train, followed by Ron and Harry. Through all the noise and rush of students, they heard the warm familar voice of the Hogwarts Game Keeper, Hagrid.

"Firs' yers, this way!"

They turned and waved at him and then made their way to the carriages.

Ron turned to both of them and said, smiling, "A year free from Fred and George."

"You'll soon miss them when you get hit in the head with a bludger your first Quidditch match!" joked Hermione. Ron's smile disappeared and a look of horror came over his face.

They arrived at the great oak doors and made their way through the Entrance Hall.

"Hermione!"

Hearing Ginny's voice, Hermione turned around and smashed into someone.

"Oh, sorry," Hermione said, not seeing the person's face.

"Watch where you're going, you stupid Mudblood."

"Malfoy, she may be a...a...you know, but she will always be better at magic than you!You… you... you slug!" Ron said, outraged.

"Thanks, Ron," spat Hermione sarcastically.

Hermione shoved the laughing Malfoy aside as she, Ron, and Harry made their way to the Great Hall. Ginny came running up to them.

"You left me, Hermione."

"Sorry, Ginny."

"Is something wrong?"

"Just Malfoy."

"Oh."

"I hate him," snapped Ron.

"Don't we all?" replied Harry.

Hermione kept quiet. One of these days I am going to curse that boy into oblivion.

They all sat down at the Gryffindor table and the hall soon filled. Dumbledore stood up and everyone quieted.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. I have some announcements to tell you but as I know that you are all hungry and cross, I will talk after the feast. Let the Sorting begin."

Professor McGonagall brought the first years forward and the Sorting Hat immediately broke into song as it always did. The old and tattered hat described the four houses and their founders and the first , very frightened, child stepped forward to be sorted. There was an exceptionally small amount of first years this year. Gryffindor only gained twelve people. Hufflepuffs gained eight, Ravenclaw only five and Slytherin gained eleven.

After the Sorting , to everyones relief, the gold plates in front of them filled with food. The hall exploded with talk and laughter. Malfoy could be heard telling the Slytherins about Ron's fantastic comeback and the whole table roared with laughter.

"So, Ron," Hermione said trying to distract him. "How are your parents?"

"Fine," he replied angrily.

"Have you heard from Fred and George yet?"

"Yeah."

"And?"

"Fine."

"Okay, well good. I'm glad everything is working out for them."

"Sure."

They ate the rest of their meals in silence. After everyone had finished, Dumbledore stood up again.

"Now, I have a few announcements before bed. First I would like to introduce your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Calais Windmere," a tall, bulky man stood up. He had dark brown hair and beady eyes. His face was expressionless. The crowd applauded him politely.

Snape had been searching the sea of students, but as he heard the name of the new Professor, he snapped his head to look at him. He thought he had heard that name before but let it go when he didn't recognize the face.

"Now, I will be announcing your prefects. Please leave all applause and cheers until the end. First, Draco Malfoy, representing Slytherin," Draco walked to the front and accepted his badge.

"Oh, joy!" whispered Ron to Harry.

"Hannah Abbott, representing Hufflepuff," she went to the front to join Malfoy.

"Terry Boot, representing Ravenclaw and Hermione Gran-."

Dumbledore was cut off as the Gryffindor table exploded with cheers and Hermione went to join Hannah, Terry, and Malfoy.

"I appreciate everyone holding their applause and cheers until the end," Dumbledore said, eyeing the Gryffindor table but with a twinkle in his eyes and a slight smile on his face. "Your Head Boy will be Owen Cauldwell from Hufflepuff and your Head Girl will be Katie Bell from Gryffindor. If the two of you will please come to the front. Now, all will remember to stay away from the Forbidden Forest as it is off limits. The rest of you, your Heads of Houses will show you to your common rooms. Good Night."

"Now," said Dumbledore, turning to the new prefects, making his way out of the hall. "I have a surprise for all of you. This year we have decided to encourage interhouse relationships. So we have also decided to give you six your own common room and living quarters. You all will have to be examples. So look around at your new roommates."

Draco made a very audible groan but Dumbledore decided to ignore it.

After a little walk, he brought them to a portrait of a man and woman sitting in a gondola. The couple looked at all of them and smiled and waved. Dumbledore spoke, "Pink shoe laces," and the portrait swung open. They walked through the door into an elegant room.

There was a huge fireplace in the wall to their right with a fire roaring. On either side, two windows reached the top of the vaulted ceiling. In front of the fireplace were three very comfortable looking couches. On the opposite wall were two stairs cases, one leading to Hermione, Katie, and Hannah's dorm, the other to Draco, Terry, and Owen's. On the wall with the door in it were hundreds of books along with three desks. They had their very own little kitchen equipped with a mini fridge, espresso machine, and snack bar.

"Those constantly refill themselves," Dumbledore explained but no one was listening, they were too mesmorized.

They had their own Wizard Chess set made of marble. On the fourth wall were the bathrooms along with the four founders portraits.

Each person was walking around the room looking at somthing. Dumbledore saw their overwhelmed looks and left them to explore.

-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"

Hermione and Draco were the only two still in the common room at midnight, the rest had gone to bed. Draco was still looking at the founders portraits.

"Well, Granger, Potter and the Weasel can't protect you here," Draco spat as he turned to face her. Hermione was still searching their private library.

"Draco, I am very capable of dealing with your wisecracks, which by the way aren't that wise," she said never taking her eyes off the books in front of her. She heard him walk up the stairs muttering, "Mudblood," which she had to admit did hurt a little. She took a deep breath and decided to go to bed as the first day of school was tomorrow and she wanted to be fresh.

-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"-"

Hermione woke the next morning with Katie shaking her.

"Hermione, classes start in ten minutes. Get up!" she said, hurriedly.

Hermione jumped out of bed, swore softly, and ran to her closet. She pulled a robe over her pajamas, brushed her hair and ran downstairs. She grabbed a pumpkin pastry from the snack bar and then her bag. She raced through the portrait hole towards the Transfiguration room. She sat next to Harry and Ron, out of breath.

"Running late, Hermione?" asked Ron with a smirk on his face.

She slowly turned to him with a deadly glare.

"Shut – up!" she saidin between breaths. As she said this Professor McGonagall walked in and to the front of the class.

"Good morning, class. Because of our attempt to have interhouse relationships, all of your Professors will be assigning you partners."

Hermione looked around the room and realized that they were with the Slytherins. Professor McGonagall grabbed a piece of parchment from her desk and started to go down the list of names assigning pairs. Hermione wondered what little piece of heaven she would be stuck with. Harry was unfortunate enough to be placed with Pansy Parkinson and Ron was partnered with Goyle . Then...

"Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy."

Hermione's stomach hit the floor. She looked back at him in the very back of the classroom.

"Well, I'm not coming to you, Granger!"

"Yes you are. I am very comfortable where I am. Thank you!"

"No you're not!"

"How would you know if I'm comfortable or not?"

"Mr. Malfoy, will you please come up and join Miss Granger," Professor McGonagall said sternly. Hermione smirked at him and he scowled back at her.

"Shut up, Granger," he said, slamming his books on the desk.

"I didn't say anything," Hermione said, still smirking.

"Okay class, today we will be turning your books into flower pots and then back again," Professor McGonagall started class. For the rest of the class neither said a word to each other.

Next Hermione had Herbology with the Hufflepuffs and thankfully she was partnered with Hannah. Then they had Potions with the Slytherins and she was now placed with Pansy and Harry got Malfoy. She actually thought, no she knew, that Professor Snape did that on purpose to Harry. She then left Harry and Ron to go to Arithmacy and they went to Divination. In this class there was an odd number of students so she was matched with Neville. Her last class for the day was Defense Against the Dark Arts, she was matched with Terry here.

An hour later Hermione, Harry and Ron were making their way to the Great Hall for dinner .

"Is this year going to be as bad as I think it is?" Harry asked them.

"Worse!" Hermione and Ron replied together. They all walked into the noisy hall and sat down. Harry and Ron talked excitedly about their first Quidditch practice the next day, as the stars overhead shown brightly.

"Hermione, are you going to come watch us tomorrow?" asked Ron.

"Yeah, I can't wait to watch you make a fool of yourself," Hermione said. Harry burst out laughing. Ron turned a slight pink and she wasn't sure if he was angry or embarrassed. "Who are the new beaters anyways?"

"Tom Merrimac, he's a fourth year and Mackenzie Woodruff, she's a fifth year," answered Harry.

"How is it that I have never heard of them?" Hermione asked.

"Hermione doesn't know something! Oh, Merlin, is someone getting this down? Hermione Granger doesn't know everything!" Ron said, acting shocked.

"Shut up," Hermione spat at him.

The three of them sat down to dinner. All throughout dinner she thought she could feel Malfoy's eyes burning into her back, but every time she looked behind her, he was talking to his friends. It's just your imagination.
