Disclamer: Through this whole story, so I don't have to write this again, I don't own any of the charcters, or some of the plot. They belong to the amazing J.K. Rowling.

Chapter 1 - The horror

Hermione was sitting in the Perfects compartment on the Hogwarts Express and she couldn't believe who was chosen by Headmistress McGonngal to be the Head Boy to her Head Girl.

Draco Malfoy sat across from Hermione, his expression changing between a smirk at annoying Hermione with his mere presence and a scowl of disgust at any thought of having to share the Heads' dorm with her, patrol with her, and just be near her all year long. It was going to be torture, for the both of them.

When the train stopped at Hogwarts, Hermione pretty much ran out of the train to catch up with Ginny and they sat together at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall. Draco, on the other hand, dragged his feet out of the train and to the Slythrin table, where they were noticeably less older students, people his age, for their parts as Death Eaters during the war. He and his mother only didn't get sent to Askaban because of Narcissa lying to the Dark Lord about Potter, even in his thoughts the name was colored in hatred, being dead. Potter had told his mother quietly that Draco was okay, so she saved him, like he saved her son. Draco still hated him, Weasley, and Weasley's stupid mudblood girlfriend, the Head Girl, Granger. He hated her most, and he had to live with her all year. Ugh. He glared at Hermione from his table, and she glared back at him.

Hermione's thoughts were on the fight she had with Ron the day before, they had broken up after it. The fight had been about her being Head Girl, him and Harry hadn't come back to school this year, everyone who had a big role in the war had been offered a job as an Auror and Harry, Ron, Lee Jordan, and several people she didn't know jumped on the chance. She played the fight back in her mind.

"What do you mean the Head Boy and Girl have to share a dorm and bathroom! What if the Head Boy walks in on you?", Ron had screamed at her the night before at the Burrow.

"It's not my choice, Ron. It's Headmistress McGonngal's decision, she thought it'd be easier to get stuff done if the Head Boy and Girl shared a dorm. And the bathroom part is a matter of convenience, I also will always lock the door when I'm in there so no can walk in.", Hermione had patiently stated.

Ron was still screaming at her though, not calmed down by her words, "What if you fall in love with him, and leave me! I couldn't deal with that! No, I want you to resign! I don't want you to leave me or cheat on me with whoever the Head Boy will be!"

Just then Hermione's temper broke out and she was screaming at Ron at the top of her lungs, and the whole house, if not the whole neighborhood could hear her yells, "RON! I have been in love with you since we were 11! I would NEVER cheat on you, EVER! Or leave you for anyone else! But, if you're going to keep acting like this, I WILL break up with you! I will not be controlled by you Ronald Billius Weasley! It's my life, and mine alone, and if you're going to act like this, you are out of it! So, either drop it, or we're over! What's it going to be Ron? Me as Head Girl, or nothing at all?

Ron had just looked down and whispered, "Then goodbye Hermione.", and walked out of the room, probably to owl Lavender Brown and beg for her back.

She had started at his back as he disappeared, and then ran off to the room she and Ginny shared and slammed the door, tears dripping on the the floor as she ran. She then had flung herself on her bed and cried herself to sleep.

Hermione snapped back to the present and saw Ginny looking at her, concerned. Hermione just shook her head at Ginny and with empty brown eyes, looked down at the welcome back feast Hogwarts' house elfs had prepared for them. Hermione had long given up on S.P.E.W. Most house elfs, besides Dobby, didn't want wages, or clothes, or anything. Just thinking if the little guy that had died saving them last year made her eyes sting with unshed tears. She then noticed Malfoy glaring at her from the Slythrin table and glared back, hatred causing the tears in her eyes to dry up. After a few minutes she ignored him and looked down to eat her dinner. Ginny noticed Hermione's glare and looked to see who had gained the murderous gaze. When she saw it was Malfoy she, too, glared at him then completely ignored him.

Draco noticed as he glared at Hermione, she and the girl Weasley glaring back with such hatred it would give pause to most anyone else. Luckily for Draco, he had no heart and wasn't most people so he was unaffected and bored. Then he remembered third year when he went to gloat at Buckbeak's planned on death, the one that never came, and Hermione had him at wand's point and then lowered it to walk away and when he had mocked her she turned around at punched him in the nose. He had to be ushered to the nurse by a now dead Crabbe and a newly jailed Goyle. He was embarrassed for weeks and made fun of by his housemates for months, taunting him that the "Mudblood Gryffindor beat up the Slythrin Prince", he'd still had to get completely back at her for that. And he would this year, he just needed a plan.
