In The End

Chapter 1: The Begining

Hermione stared at the ceiling of her new bedroom, in which she shared with Ginny Weasley. She had been moved abruptly into the Weasley's house just three hours ago when both her parents were murdered. She had cried every tear her body could produce, and probably more.

"Mione, you awake?" Ginny asked quietly, unsure of Hermione's condition.

"Aye, I can't sleep."

"Me neither." Ginny stood from her bed and fumbled through the dark to Hermione's bed, crawling in it and hugging the girl.

Hermione found it easier to sleep having her best friend next to her through the night.

"HERMIONE, MATE! WAKE UP!" Ron was pouncing on her bed, attempting to wake the sleeping girl.

"What's this about, Ronald?"

"We're going school shopping today, the letters arrived!"

"You seem over zealous for school, Ronald." Hermione hadn't lifted her head from her pillows yet.

"Aye, but your letter is heavier than the others." At this, Hermione was up and running with the others down the staris.

"My, Hermione, it's not like you to sleep in until eleven o'clock." Fred said, George looking up and smiling to the girl.

"Yes. I suppose it is a little strange. Can I have my letter?" Hermione sounded quiet and not very cheerful. Upon being handed her letter, Hermione walked up the stairs and back to her room.

"Man, Mione is so down." Fred said.

"Wouldn't you be if your only family died? Remember, Hermione was an only child." George whispered, hoping not to be overheard by the girl.

"We need to do something."

"I think the best thing is for her to work it out. The only thing we should do is support her."

"I agree with George on this. Mione doesn't need us to smother her, she just needs us to support-"

"AAAAHHHH OH MY FRIGGIN GOD!" Hermione was screaming in the room. The group dashed upstairs seeing the girl lying on the floor beating it in frusteration.

"Mione! What's wrong?" Ron asked loud enough for the girl to hear him.

"Read this." She handed him a letter when she was able to control herself again.

"Dear Hermione Granger, My greatest sympathies about your mother and father. I pray that time will help you to heal your uncurable wounds and that your friends get you through this hard time. But we are pleased to inform you that you have been selected to be this year's head girl..." Ron stopped reading and looked up. "Mione, this is great news, why would this upset you?"

"Things aren't always what they seem, Ronald. Continue reading." she muttered.

"...Your partner and head boy, the one you will share a common room with will be Draco Malfoy of Slytherin..." Ron stopped again. "I see. Well, you get your own room."

"Aye, but I can't avoid him forever. If you recall, the heads go on NIGHTLY patrols of the halls together, they plan ball, organizations, Hogsmeade trips, AND at the welcome ball, they have to LEAD the first dance TOGETHER! I have to dance with that prick. Like my life could get any worse!"

"Yea, but you know if he tries anything, Harry, Ginny, and I will kill the ferret. You know that." Ron smiled as Hermione buried her face back into the floor.

I'm not up to this year...I don't need him...he'll make it worse. Hermione thought to herself. She managed to climb back in bed and sleep for two hours.

"Hermione, it's one o'clock. Wake up. We need to go shopping." Ginny said quietly, rubbing the girl's shoulder. Hermione got up and dressed herself in a System of A Down t-shirt and a pair of ripped blue jeans. She pulled on her hightops with no laces and got Mrs. Weasley to straighten her hair with magic.

Hermione and the group were escorted by Mrs. Weasley and the twins.

"Oi, Mione, your list is huge! You using a timeturner again?"

"No.." Hermione went with George to buy her new books while the other Weasleys and Harry went into a robe shope.

"Well, if it isn't little miss Orphaned Mud-blood." Draco pranced up in his usual self centered attitude.

"What do you want, Draco?"

"To make sure that while- wait! What did you call me?"

"Draco... it is your name right? Draco Lucious Lee Malfoy?"

"How dare you disgrace my name! I am a Malfoy and you shall never say my first name!"

"Draco, when are you going to grow up and stop being so childish and egotistical? I'm higher in grade point averages, I've never treated you badly, can't you just grow up?"

"How dare you talk down to me!"

"I'm not talking down to you! I'm treating you like an AVERAGE person! I AM your EQUAL!"

"You will never equal a pureblood!"

"Oh but I have! Now if you will excuse me, Draco, I have some shopping to do. Do take care and I'll see you at Hogwarts in a week." Hermione smiled the best she could and stepped past, George following.

"Mione, why didn't you insult him?"

"Two wrongs don't make a right... besides, what goes around comes around, law of karma."

"Aye." George nodded and gently hugged her. "Mione, I'll always be here for you."

"Thank you, George. You are a true friend."

At the vocalization of friend George's beautiful smile fell for a split second but recovered with a forced smile. "That's what I'm here for." She smiled and hugged him back, content with the situation.

So, one of the twin weasles has a thing for Granger, aye? Well, that is interesting. Someone so loose actually liking bug-up-her-ass-know-it-all-show-off-mudblood? I wonder if she'll fall for him, after all, a lot can happen in a week. Draco thought as he watched Hermione and George walk away, arms around her waist in a friendly manner.

A/N: Well, like it? maybe I won't get bored with this one :laughs as she dodges pans from angry fans: I know you didn't like the ending to my Divinity series, but I didn't like the story, it bored me writing it, but there are many ways to capture this couple and I took a bad route considering they were both well out of character, I'm going to try and stay more true to their individualities, though I HATE what Hermione WOULD wear upon her personality, so I gave her my style. Well, this is my new story... Enjoy it : )

REVEIW!

Next Chapter: George is starting to like Hermione even more and tells her, will she accept and return George's feelings? Then she leaves for Hogwarts early as to uphold her head duties, what will Draco say next?

Again, A/N: I know Hermione isn't as upset as someone normally would be if her family died, but I only did it for plots sake... if you like it say so, if I don't have enough positive reveiws by the fifth chapter, I will take down the story and try a new story.
