Chapter Two
(1999 August)
My time in Australia is finally ending that is until the Christmas holidays. Time to head back to London to prepare for the new school year. Leaves me excited to be returning and the chance to catch up on what I have missed out on; I'm sad to be leaving my parents again after only getting them back these last few months. Being back in my childhood home the loneliness hits home with mum and dad not being around.
Levitating my packed trunk down the stairs to join the
mass of bags mum and dad gave me to bring home. Having mum and dad owning a fashion magazine has its perks as much as I would like to disagree they have improved my sense of style. Now opting for a girlier look, they even gave me clothing for my three most favourite people in the world Harry, Ron and Ginny. Shrinking all the bags and trunk down, I pick them up and place them in my handbag and apparate to the burrow.
Arriving with a loud crack I take a deep breath and steady myself, apparating always leaves me unsteady and bit short of breathe. I see three figures running full sprint towards me. I soon remember to brace myself as I end up in the middle of a group hug and losing my balance and having three wonderful people end up falling on top of me.
"Mione, I've missed you" Ginny was on the verge of tackling Hermione again.
"I've missed you to Gin, as well as you both Harry and Ron" Hermione gave each a hug, as Molly Weasley came out the back door.
"Hermione I'm glad you've made it come on in, lunch is ready." Molly said whilst ushering them inside to the living area. Sitting down I began to tell the Weasley's and Harry about my adventure through Australia and staying with my parents
and fitting into their new lives.
Taking the bags i stored in my handbag out and enlarging them back to their original size I handed a bag each to my boys and Ginny. Deciding the last bag would be given out in a more secluded
space like Ginny's room when it was just the girls, so as not to embarrass her nor the boys. Four hours passing and the boys loved their muggle gifts I had got for them and Ginny amazed by the clothing. Us girls deciding a fashion
show was in order for ourselves only, headed up to Ginny's room closing the door. Before Ginny could decide what to wear I wanted to surprise Gin with the last bag I'd hidden. Taking her trunk and bag out of my handbag I
enlarged them to their original size once more and handed Ginny the last gift.
On opening Ginny discovered why I didn't give her the bag downstairs. Emptying the contents on her bed she was amazed by the array of lingerie her best friend had given her.
"Oh Mione, I love it"
"I reckon Harry will approve, and I'm glad you like it. Mum and dad gave me free rain over whatever I wanted and told me I could take some for you too as its last seasons' stuff and some from this season. Well all of my gifts to you are from them
anyway". Dinner had soon passed the same as lunch more talking and joking around.
Finding out more about my Australian stay, Ginny, Harry and Ron all asked if maybe at Christmas holidays if they could accompany me back there. After promising
I'd ask, knowing that my parents were extremely busy at the time didn't want to bother them so would ask them a bit closer to the time.
(1999 September)
The rest of the weeks passed in a blur and school was heading back for a brand new year. The Weasley's, Harry and Hermione all apparated to platform 9 and 3/4, excited to be finally returning for the last time. This time it was much happier as there wasn't a darkness looming over the whole of the wizardry world. Saying a final goodbye to Molly and Arthur Weasley, Ginny and the golden trio all boarded the train; heading towards the empty compartment to their left
Harry, Ginny and Ron took occupancy Lavender, Neville and Luna soon joined them.
Hermione left all to be as she started to head towards the Head's compartment, running into someone and falling over. She turned a nice shade of pink as a pale perfect hand was extended towards her. Lightly grasping the strangers' hand she was pulled to her feet, quickly fixing herself she tried to apologize.
"I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention"
"Well next time watch where you're going" the stranger answered in a familiar silky voice,
gathering up her courage she glanced up under her lashes at the young man. Shocked filled his expression as he realized exactly who this beautiful young lady was.
"Granger?"
"Malfoy" she replied with a hint of sarcasm. Quickly taking a chance to leave with a shocked Malfoy just staring at her dumbly. Reaching the heads cabin and slipping inside, thankfully revealing an empty compartment.
'Hmm the Head Boy must be around the train with his friends oh well might as well start my new novel mum got me'. Opening her new book 'Alice in Wonderland' she started reading whilst waiting for the head boy to show up. Not even 5 pages in the compartment door slide open, revealing the Head boy.
Looking up from her current page, the Head boy was none other than Draco Malfoy; better known amongst the girls of Hogwarts as 'the Slytherin Sex God'.
"What do you want Malfoy? You're not supposed to be in here it's for the head boy and girl."
"I guess I could ask you the same" Malfoy replied smugly
looking upon his chest Hermione noticed the shiny head boy badge. Blushing slightly she quickly returned back to book only to be interrupted by Malfoy asking how her summer was. Wondering if this was an attempt on embarrassing her or not she replied, "well if you must know it was rather good I got to explore a wonderful part of the world so I guess you could say I had a great summer."
"What's good at least yours was better than mine" he slowly admitted knowing she didn't know the half of it. The rest of the trip the spent in silence.
With the arrival at the station they left the train to head to the school before the rest of the school so they could get shown their dormitory and get their prep talk of what was expected that year from them. After the sorting, announcements and dinner had been completed they made their way to the portrait of a little girl in a white and blue dress, the entered into a beautifully decorated common room that separated the two rooms,
looking around Hermione notices that it has two lovely big desks looking over the lake, a large kitchen though and only one bathroom. 'Oh joy I don't want to share with him. This could get awkward'. Her inner voice pouted.
Hermione opened the door to her right and luckily it was the door to her room, it was big and decorated in the Gryffindor colours, making her feel more at home. It had a couple armchairs under the window looking out over the grounds, a bookcase and large draws.
Thinking to herself if this is her room she wonder what Malfoy's would of been decorated. Deciding that she probably wouldn't find out anytime soon she grabbed her toiletries and headed for the bathroom.
Draco was sitting on the softest bed that he could of imagined, his room had been decorated in Slytherin colours and had a loveseat opposite the bed. Looking out the window he decided he needs to clean up after the day that has just transpired. Grabbing his toiletries he walks out the door and heads to the bathroom where Granger has just vacated in nothing but a towel. He noticed the way that the droplets of water snaked their way down over her lips, down her neck
nand between her breasts. Greatly envying the water that could touch what he only wanted to, he caught Hermione's hitch of breath, the blush that tainted her cheeks a rosy red and the way that she caught her lip in hesitation.
Gathering his thoughts he heard her say goodnight. Scolding himself he didn't reply and watched as she rushed to her room. Standing where he was for a few moments before he realized what he was doing, he quickly rushed into the bathroom. Looking at himself in the mirror he was trying to figure out why she had captivated these thoughts and feelings to touch her in ways he couldn't at the time comprehend. Telling himself that hot water will bring him back to his sense he tried to remove the lustfulness that threatened to undo him.
(September 2nd 1999)
Stirring from a dream filled almost nightmarish sleep with a sharp tap tap on her window, rubbing her eyes Hermione rolls over to face her window seeing a beautiful brown barn owl. Tied to its leg was a roll of parchment, slipping over and opening the window the barn owl
flies in landing on her desk waiting patiently for Hermione to untie it. Grabbing an owl treat she makes her way over to her desk, untying the parchment and giving the owl the treat and watching it fly off. Unrolling the parchment she notices it's from the headmistress
Professor McGonagall.
Dear Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy
I request your presence in my office before heading down to breakfast.
There is a few things that we didn't get to cover last night also your
new schedules for your classes and head duties will need to be picked
up.
Headmistress, Minerva McGonagall.
Quickly getting dressed, Hermione heads to her door wondering if she will have to go wake Malfoy up. Upon opening her door to the common room she was surprised to see Malfoy in the kitchen making what it smelt to be, Coffee. Turning around and seeing Hermione looking at him
with an almost quizzical expression, he smirks and offers her a cup of coffee. Realizing she was just standing there staring at Malfoy like an idiot, hearing his question she politely turns his offer down but telling him that he needs to get ready as Professor McGonagall would like to
see them both before breakfast. Heading back up to her room to fix her hair and make-up.
Draco downed his cup of coffee reliving in the soft burn as it slid down his throat he wanted to get ready quickly so as to catch Hermione before she left. Wanting to walk near her to try and figure out when she got so attractive that she began to visit him in his dreams,
wearing nothing but her towel hair slightly damp and water snaking its way down her neck, lips and chest disappearing underneath her towel leaving caressing trails to her perky supple breasts. 'For merlin sake Draco get a hold of yourself. She's a muggle-born! She thinks of
you as the enemy most likely. She'd never want to bed you nor return your feelings. But oh gosh she's so beautiful the way she bites her lips and the dream last night oh how I want that to be reality.'
Mentally slapping himself sighing he grabs his tie and straightens his uniform up he hears the portrait close with a click running out to the common room and to the portrait hoping she hasn't gotten far. The portrait swings open and he steps through into the hallway he spots
Hermione just up in front of him. Quickening his stride he catches up in no time, seeing Hermione jump at his sudden appearance. he stays quiet and she soon seemingly relaxes in his presence. Arriving at the headmistresses' office, Hermione and Draco knock on the door.
Upon hearing a soft "come in" emitting from through the door Draco and Hermione enter.
Looking up from her desk "Hermione, Draco glad you could make it"
"Good morning Professor" Hermione said before taking her seat next to Draco
" Hermione, Draco, as you both know I've asked for your presence this morning to go through a few things as head boy and girl you will need to know, that I didn't get a chance to tell you last night"
Glancing at Malfoy quickly, before turning full attention back to the headmistress, she was anxious to hear the rest and not to miss anything out. 15 minutes had passed Draco was growing bored of the conversation knowing that if he asked Hermione she's tell him hopefully.
Professor McGonagall handed out their class schedules and also gave them the prefect and head patrolling schedule.
"Mr. Malfoy, I just want to remind you that being head boy you are not to go throwing your new position around. Only are you to take points of a student if they are not following school rules. Also Peeves will need an eye kept on him
especially with the Halloween ball that you and Miss Granger will be organizing with the help from prefects and some students. Now Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy i expect you both to uphold the manner and rules of this fantastic school.
I hope you both will strive throughout classes as you are our two top students. You both may now head to the great hall for breakfast"
Hermione and Draco both gathered their stuff and left, the door closing with a soft click. Draco couldn't help but think of how cute Hermione looked throughout the professors talk. Her unconscious habit of capturing her bottom lip
with her teeth, the way she held onto every word her head of house spoke.
'Draco stop it! Thinking like this will not help her realize that you're not who you use to be. If I could just get her to see maybe something could happen. Wait why am I thinking like this she and I are too different it wouldn't and couldn't happened; it's not allowed, is it?' Following Hermione out of the office, "Hey wait up Hermione"
"Yes Draco, what is it?"
"I was just wondering seeing as we have to be nice to each other, perhaps we could start over again" Looking at Hermione he could see the confusion and mistrust in her chocolate eyes. "I mean I know I can't change the past and what i am, I'll never be able to change that.
But I was hoping maybe we could try to be friends" Draco expected her to tell him to shove it so he was so surprised when she replied,
"Okay I guess we can try; though you better be serious or I will hex you I promise." Looking at her dumbfounded he promised her that he was being serious.
'I wonder why his being so nice, and why does he want to be friends; maybe his mother dropped him on his head one too many times when he was younger. I guess I should be glad that he is being so nice. And he has defiantly got hotter since last year before the war'.
