Well this is a multi-chapter story that goes with my one-shot Trelawney's Prophecy: The Dragon and The Traveler, it is not necessary to read before this but I do suggest reading it, kind of like a prologue. I have two other stories to finish and I promised myself that I would finish at least one before starting this but… I don't want to wait. This is dedicated to my own pet ferret, Nibbles, rest in peace little buddy.

This story will be narrated in an Omni-present voice but will focus on Hermione, Draco, and Trelawney's points of view.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter now please enjoy one of the many random stories her work has inspired.

The Dragon and the Traveler

Enemies in youth

Will become Lovers in Time

Kept apart by War

Peace will see their Lives become Intertwined

"I don't know what he could have been thinking!" exclaimed a shocked Professor Vector. All the Hogwarts staff members at the meeting nodded in agreement except for Trelawney but the divination teacher had always been a bit off.

Headmistress McGonagall agreed with her staff of course but had to defend her predecessor's decision. "Dumbledore left many requests behind and while they do not always make sense or even start well they all end up for the better," the older witch explained, obviously referencing Snape's short stint as headmaster. "He believed that Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy should be our Head Girl and Boy this year when the students returned to repeat their year and, despite my better judgment, the numbers agree."

Professor Flitwick sat up a little taller in his seat. "But Minerva! They were always at each other's throats even when they tried to avoid one another and now we want them to share the Head dorms, it will be utter madness. Not to mention the trauma and bad memories that they associate with one another."

Trelawney listened to the staff complain with an odd smile upon her face temporarily replacing her usual worried and frantic expression. "Ah, but this will be a good thing."

Suddenly every person in attendance was looking at the seer; she hardly ever attended meetings much less spoke at them. McGonagall looked at her questioningly, "How so?"

Trelawney knew they would not believe her prophecy and decided just this once to keep it to herself, most of it anyway. Hogwarts was a rumor mill and she didn't want anything to interfere with her prediction. "The two will learn to get along, oh they will fight at first but they will learn and even become quite close. I realize not all of you believe in my subject but this one does have Dumbledore's blessing," she informed them with a knowing smile.

McGonagall sighed, conceding. "I hope for their sakes that you are right, Sybill."

It was the middle of summer and Hermione was enjoying the bright sunny day in the Weasley backyard reading a muggle novel. At Hogwarts and during the war she didn't have much time for novels, especially muggle ones. She was completely engrossed in her story, ignoring the game of Quidditch going on above her head, when an owl came and landed next to her. She turned to find she recognized the owl as one she often saw at Hogwarts. He held out his leg on which a note was attached.

"I wonder what it is?" brunette witch wondered when she grabbed the note. The first part of the letter was not surprising—she had been selected as Head Girl before running off last year—but it excited her nonetheless. The second half not so much…

"I have to live with who?"

Draco Malfoy sat in the dining room with his family. While many things had changed here—for example there was no discussion concerning mudbloods or dark lords—the atmosphere was still very much the same. Cold, unhappy, and very formal despite the lack of company. Only the sounds of clanking silverware could be heard throughout the meal, making the flap of owl wings sound much louder.

The Hogwarts owl gave a house elf a note that was immediately handed to Draco. He read it and the news of becoming Head Boy filled him with pride but the additional information deflated him. The blonde mumbled under his breath, "Well this will be interesting."
