"Well this is going to be fun." Draco commented sarcastically, flopping down onto one of the oversized couches.

"This is no-one's idea of fun, so why don't you just give it a rest Malfoy." Harry replied, glaring at the blonde.

"Look Potter...."

"Oh will you two shut up!" Pansy exclaimed interrupting Draco, "We've not even been in here ten minutes and you two are already bitching at each other, you're doing my head in."

"I'm going to bed" Hermione announced quietly before making her way upstairs.

No-one failed to notice the dejected state of the head girl as she made her way up the stairs.

Upon arriving back at Hogwarts, Dumbledore had announced that the head and deputy head boys and girls, would all be sharing a dormitory this year, before announcing the identities of the chosen four; Harry and Pansy were named as the deputy heads, whilst Hermione and Draco were named as the heads.

"Is she ok? She seems kinda off." Pansy asked, the concern catching Harry by surprise.

"Yeah, what gives?" Draco asked in general curiosity.

"Bad summer." Harry replied looking up the stairs.

-*-*-*

"Looks like we're sharing" Pansy announced as she, Harry and Draco made their way upstairs.

"What?" Draco exclaimed.

"Only two bedrooms." Pansy stated, "Good luck boys" She giggled wiggling her fingers in a wave as she went through the door on her right, an amused expression on her face.

Pansy's amusement quickly died as she took in the scene before her. Hermione was sat on the window seat her arms resting on her bent knees and he head thrown back against the wall as she stared out the window. Pansy quickly made her way over to the window, taking a seat next to Hermione's feet.

"Hey" Pansy said softly.

"Hey" Hermione replied.

"Rough summer?" Pansy's only answer was a gentle nod of Hermione's head.

"I missed you" Hermione said after a minute, turning her head to face Pansy.

"I missed you too, Mi" Pansy replied, before pulling Hermione into her arms as she began to cry.

"You want to hear something funny?" Pansy asked when Hermione's tears began to fade.

"Please." Hermione replied.

"We've only got two bedrooms, Harry and Draco have to share." Pansy explained fighting her laughter, but completely failed when Hermione began laughing.

"That should be interesting." Hermione giggled, before sighing.

"You ok?" Pansy asked concerned.

"Yeah, I just needed my best friend." Hermione replied.

"That's why I'm here." Pansy smiled.

"Can you promise me something?" Hermione asked, "This year... no secrets."

"Sure. Now I don't know about you but I'm beat, how about we get some sleep?"

"Sounds like a plan" Hermione replied.

The next morning Draco walked into the small kitchenette in the Heads dorm, to find Pansy dancing round the kitchen whilst Hermione sat on the counter, a mug of coffee in her hand. Despite his best efforts Draco couldn't help but take in Hermione's appearance, she was wearing a pair of small black shorts and a white wife beater, showing off her long smooth legs and her slim curvaceous figure.

"You are too lively for this early in the morning" Hermione groaned taking a sip of her coffee.

"You really need to let it go, you've been trying to figure out how I do it for years." Pansy smirked in reply.

"Fine but I'm changing the song, this song is crap!" Hermione replied leaning across the road to the stereo, "Now this is a song" She commented as Empire State of Mind began to play.

"What is it with you and hip-hop recently?" Pansy questioned, making Hermione simply shrug in reply. "You remember New York?" She asked.

"Good times" Hermione smiled drinking her coffee.

"What are you doing?" Harry asked as he came down the stairs, noticing Draco simply standing in the kitchen doorway.

"I think I'm missing something." Draco answered gesturing to the two girls in front of him, with a confused expression on his face.

"Defiantly good times" Pansy agreed.

"But not as good as Havana." Hermione pointed out.

"Oh Merlin no. That's gonna take some beating" Pansy laughed, before snapping round to face the door as someone cleared their throat.

"Boys" Hermione greeted nonchalantly, "There's coffee in the pot." she added causing Pansy to snort with laughter.

"Don't 'Boys' us Hermione what the hell?" Harry yelled gesturing to Pansy.

"Harry, meet Sy." Hermione replied.

"Sy? As in..."

"My best friend Sy, yeah." Hermione confirmed.

"Draco, meet Mi" Pansy said holding her hand out to Hermione.

The look of complete and total shock on Draco's face made Hermione wish she had a camera.

"You're Mi?" Draco asked in disbelief, "You can't be"

"Why?" Hermione asked in slight confusion.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The sound of someone beating on the door to the heads quarters interrupted the conversation.

"Hermione, will you come out here I want to talk to you" Ron's voice sounded from the other side of the door.

No-one failed to notice the look of fear and uncertainty Hermione directed at Harry, as she slowly backed herself against the wall.

"Hermione! I know you're in there!" Ron yelled.

"Harry..." Hermione pleaded quietly as her body began to shake.

"I got it don't worry." Harry promised comfortingly, before making his way out the kitchen, and wrenching the door open. "What the fuck do you want?!"

"I want to talk to Hermione, you know my girlfriend." Ron answered.

"You must be as dumb as you look to think that she wants anything to do with you" Harry replied. "Just do us all a favour Weasel...fuck off!" He yelled before slamming the portrait in Ron's face.

"Well that's new" Draco commented.

"Don't" Hermione warned softly, before turning to Harry, "You ok?"

"Yeah" Harry sighed, rubbing his hands over his face as he rejoined the group in the kitchen.

"I'm sorry. I will deal with him, just..." Hermione began.

"I know, and I don't mind. Actually it's taking a lot for me not to beat the crap out of him every time I see him" Harry replied with a smile, "Don't worry about it. When you're ready I will gladly step aside, because I cannot wait to see what you do to his sorry ass." He laughed, making Hermione smile.

"Thanks"

"Er..sorry to interrupt, but do you mind explaining what the hell just happened." Draco exclaimed.

"Just the fallout of a bad summer" Hermione answered.
