Chapter 1 – A Surprise

Hermione sat outside Kings Cross Station waiting for her two best friends Harry and Ron to arrive she had been so excited this morning she had arrived early, this was her final year at Hogwarts and she was Head Girl. Smiling to herself she thought back, remembering all the things that had happened to her over the years, all the adventures and all the danger she and her best friends had got into. Slowly the smile disappeared off her face as she remembered the fear and anger since the end of the 4th year, when Voldemort arose again. Snorting softly she rolled her eyes ‘at least I can say his name now’. The last couple of years at Hogwarts have been very tense with many of the students preparing for an attack on the school at any moment, but because she was so close to Harry she knew a lot that went on behind the scenes and she knew the extent Dumbledore went to, to keep Hogwarts safe.

Looking in the rear vision mirror Hermione looked back at her self and stared, she imagined herself in her first year and she cringed, boy had she been such a pain, laughing softly she found it hard to accept how much she had changed, but then again 6 years with Harry and Ron would certainly loosen up the stuffiest of people. Glancing at her watch Hermione was startled at the time, grabbing her things she loaded them onto the waiting trolley and locked her car.

Walking briskly she made her way Platform 9 & ¾, as she came through the barrier she stopped and stared at the scarlet steam train, this was the last time she would be coming here on September 1st to start her school year. There was a sudden crash and someone’s trolley had bumped into hers, without looking to see who it was moved her trolley out of the way and mumbled “sorry” and continued to stand there lost in her thoughts. Suddenly a cold voice startled Hermione back to reality “what are you doing Granger”? Turning she saw Draco Malfoy looking at her with a sneer on his face.

Not really paying him any attention she replied “this is our last year, we will never catch the Hogwarts Express to school again” then stopping she realised who she was talking to and knew Malfoy would never care so she rolled her eyes and pushed the trolley forward to see if she could find a empty carriage for herself and the boys. As she walked away she put Draco Malfoy out of her mind and didn’t give him another thought. Behind her Draco stared at her departing back, he was furious, no one else talked to him with such carelessness everyone else usually hung on his every word and no one ever walked away from him as if he was a nuisance.

Realising he was standing there glaring at the Mudbloods back he started pushing his trolley over to his friends, at least they knew how to treat him with respect and he smiled as he noticed a lot of the girls eyes following him, at least they realised how much he had changed and how good looking he was, straightening his badge so everyone could see that he was Head Boy. Snorting to himself, he rolled his eyes, at least Dumbledore had realised he deserved the job, for awhile he had been worried that Scar head would get it. Smiling to himself he couldn’t’t wait to see the look on Potter’s face when he saw who was Head Boy, frowning Draco wondered who Head Girl was, shrugging to himself as he reached his friend he thought ‘who cares, I just hope she’s Hot’.

Noticing out of the corner of his eye, Draco turned and watched as Potter and Weasley arrived at the train and Granger threw her arms around them giving each of the a hug. Scowling Draco shrugged to himself who cares what a silly little mud blood does with her friends, but as he turned back to his friends he couldn’t’t help feeling annoyed, no one ever hugged him just because they were so happy to see him.

The whistle on the train gave a great blast and everyone started piling onto the train, soon everyone was in and the train was moving off. Hermione, Harry and Ron found a spare carriage up the back of the train and they got in and sat down they started talking about all that they did over the summer, Harry was excited cause Dumbledore was able to smuggle him to where the Weasley’s were hiding and they had a small birthday party for Harry, Ron’s brother Bill had come home for the break and everyone at his house had a ball. When they were both silent Harry frowned “well Hermione what did you get up to this summer”?

Smiling slightly she sighed “nothing as exciting as you two I just did some shopping and relaxed I went to Diagon Alley and got all my things early so I could study all my text books before school, ohhh and I found out I am Head Girl”. Laughing at the stunned looks on both of their faces “WHAT where is your badge, why didn’t’t you tell us”? Rolling her eyes Hermione folded down her collar and there, pinned was a shiny HG badge. “WOW that great Hermione, I wonder who is Head Boy,” said Ron?

Shrugging Hermione said, “No idea, I guess we will find out soon enough” looking over at Harry she noticed that he was grinning at something “what are thinking about Harry”? Now laughing out loud “its just, you have changed so much since our first year but your still a brain, I mean your now tall and beautiful and your hair is no longer bushy because you have grown it, you should take it out of that damn plait but you still study every spare moment” sitting back Hermione watched Harry shake his head. Raising her eyebrows “you do realise that we have to sit our NEWT’s this years, they are really important” at this Harry burst out laughing.

Trying to frown at Harry but Hermione knew she couldn’t “okay okay I know” and she got up and walked to the door “I will leave you here, to get over your amusement and I will go find the food cart I’m starving”. As she walked away she could still hear Harry and Ron laughing, making her way to the front of the train Hermione kept running into people she knew and would stop and have a little chat, many of them congratulating her on being Head Girl, most of them telling her that there was never a doubt that she would get it. When she bumped into Neville he smiled at her “I was wondering if you would get Head Girl, you, Harry and Ron have broke practically every rule at Hogwarts” and he walked off smiling.

Grinning Hermione started walking again, she had never thought about it that way, but Neville was right it was a miracle she was Head Girl. As she walked she heard little snippets of conversations inside the different compartments when she slowed down for a 1st year kid to walk by she heard a few words that caught her attention
“I can’t wait so see Potters face” this made Hermione freeze and strain to listen “personally I don’t think there was another choice, I was worried that Potter might of got it cause Dumbledore loves him, but in the end he must of seen sense” now Frowning, Hermione tried to figure out what they were talking about, then she heard something that sent a chill down her spine “I really am the only one that is qualified to be Head boy”.

Totally Horrified Hermione slumped against the side of the corridor frozen in her place she couldn’t move, she knew that voice, oh how she loathed that voice and if what she was hearing wasn’t some kind of awful nightmare, Draco Malloy hers, Harry and Ron’s most hated enemy was Head Boy. Okay Hermione said to herself I am being melodramatic this isn’t so bad, but she squeezed her eyes shut, yes it is what the hell was Dumbledore thinking of???? Head Boy and Head Girl have to spend lots of time together organising special events, meeting with teachers. Not feeling very well Hermione was about to leave when she noticed another voice from inside.

“WOW, Draco your Dad must be so proud of you” Hermione heard Pansy say in her high pitched voice, she could imaging Pansy flicking her hair over her shoulder and trying to sit as close to Draco as possible. Okay thought Hermione now I am being catty, but she has loathed Pansy ever since she heard Pansy talking to another girl in the toilets. Pansy said how her father wanted her to get as close to Malfoy as possible because he was really powerful and one of Voldemorts closest supporters.

Shuddering at the memory Hermione couldn’t’t imagine how anyone could like Lucius Malfoy, he was totally evil just last year he had tried to kill Harry and nearly succeeded now angry she was ready to storm in, but as she put her hand out to grab the handle she heard Malfoy’s voice again “I do not care what my father thinks, I never informed him” shocked Hermione just stood there as everything went quiet, then she heard foot steps and she snatched her hand back and turned just in time, she started to walk away as if she hadn’t heard anything, but she only made it a few steps before the door was flung open and Draco came storming out.

Trying to look casual Hermione walked slowly along, she was totally unprepared when Draco ran into her knocking her to the ground, as she slowly climbed to her feet she lent forward to look at her knee, it had been skinned painfully. Draco mumbled “Sorry” and was about to rush on when he looked down at the girl he had knocked over, he couldn’t’t see her face all he could see was her dark brown plait and the back of her neck. Cringing Hermione knelt back down and started searching through her pockets for something to clean off the blood, muttering to herself she never noticed Draco still standing beside her, she was totally startled when she heard and impatient “here” and a white handkerchief fluttered in front of her eyes.


Slowly reaching out she took the handkerchief out of Draco’s hand, as her fingers brushed against his she heard his sharp intake of breath and she sn*tched her hand back, still clutching the hankie, what had just happened? She could still feel the tingling
in her fingers. Looking at his feet Hermione slowly raised her eyes following his body till she reached his eyes “Granger” and she had to smile at the incredulous look on his face, raising her eyebrows “who were you expecting” then she place the hankie over her knee and they both watched the red blood slowly seep over the bright whiteness of the cloth.

Then when she tipped her head back so she could look up at him, his eyes were drawn to the opened button up shirt, realising what he was looking at, Hermione was about to redo the button and tell him off when he noticed her badge pinned to her collar “oh my god!! Your Head Girl” Hermione knew she should have been offended but all she could do was laugh at the look of pure horror on his face, because she knew just minutes before she must have had the same look upon hers.

Furious that she was laughing at him Draco glared at her and stormed off, Hermione watched him walk away, she half wanted to yell out that she was sorry but she changed her mind, he wouldn’t care what she thought anyway. Looking down she pulled the hankie away from her knee and saw that it had stopped bleeding, it didn’t look to bad. Looking closely at the hankie she noticed in the corner there was the letters D M embroidered in green. Unfolding the Hankie she held it up and looked at it, her eyes widen with the bright whiteness the bright red blood and the green writing it looked beautiful. Frowning Hermione thought to herself ‘okay now I’m loosing it’ and she stiffly climbed to her feet and started back to her compartment.

When she opened the door she found Harry and Ron eating “The lady came around so I got you some” mumbled Harry with his mouth full of a pumpkin puff, and he pointed to her seat, smiling at him she sat down and started to unwrap her puff but stopped and stared out the window “I found out who is Head Boy” she said in a flat voice “it is Malfoy”. There was total silence for about 10 seconds then in a strangled voice Ron asked, “what did you say”. Turning to look at him, she gave him a small smile “you heard me”

Harry repeated what Hermione had been thinking before “what was Dumbledore thinking of, you and Malfoy are going to have to spend a lot of time together what if he finds out something about what we are planning? He would owl his father immediately and Voldemort would find out, people could die” Lapsing into silence as if Harry was to shocked to keep talking, Hermione looked at him and then when she thought about what he had said she frowned “that reminds me, I over heard him talking, I was kind of eavesdropping and that is how I found out he is Head Boy and Pansy asked him if his father was proud. Ron snorted “he’s probably of having a cup of tea with Voldemort now, telling him all about it” Turning to Ron she frowned to herself “no Ron I heard him, he told her that he hadn’t even told his father and that he doesn’t care what he thinks”.


Frowning Harry thought for a few seconds “you know Malfoy hasn’t said anything about my parents since the end of year 5, maybe he doesn’t like his father being a deatheater and maybe he was more embarrassed then he let on, I mean he was bragging about his father for years, it must of hurt when his dad was caught and then his “disappearance” Imagine living everyday knowing your dads off somewhere hidden from society and serving someone else. When I first saw all the deatheaters, Voldemort made them crawl on their knees and kiss the bottom of his robes.

As much as I hate Malfoy I could never picture him bowing to anyone”. Hermione stared at Harry “your defending him, I never pictured you doing that, look at all the things he has said to us over the years he’s totally obnoxious”. Smiling at her Harry shrugged “I’m not saying he’s an angel but I’m trying to think of why Dumbledore would make him Head Boy, and if Dumbledore thinks for one minute that Malfoy can be saved then he is going to try and do something to bring Malfoy around. This could be why he’s making us be closer to him, Dumbledore knows where you go, we go”.

Staring at Harry and then turning to Ron she saw the truth in their eyes, here she had the two best friends in the world. She tried to say something but the lump in her throat was too big so she just gave them both a watery smile. There was suddenly a loud blast from the trains whistle and all three of them jumped, quickly getting up they made their way to the nearest door and jumped onto the platform as they started off towards the nearest horseless carriage, it saddened Hermione every time she saw the Thestral’s cause it made her feel different, it made her aware that she had seen death over the last 2 years, and it brang back memories she would rather keep forgotten.

Hagrid appeared in front of them and smiled down “ow are ya? Glad to see you Head Girl Hermione, although for me there was never a doubt, you have to make your way over to that carriage at the front and go up with the new Head boy and prepare the hall, hurry now” and off he went not realising that he left all three staring at him with horror. “Oh great here we go, this year is going to be a nightmare” Hermione gave them one last look and made her way to the front carriage.

As she neared she couldn’t see Malfoy anywhere, sighing to herself she wondered what mood he was going to be in, climbing up she went to sit down on the seat and landed on Draco instead “what do you think your playing at Granger, get off me” totally mortified Hermione slid off his lap and sat down beside him. Turning to apologise she saw the shocked look on his face and she couldn’t help it she burst out laughing, she saw the look change to bewilderment, then he looked furious “what are you laughing at Granger” he said in his most cold voice “I don’t find anything funny”. This of course only made Hermione laugh harder.

Glaring at her now she put her hand over her mouth, gasping she spluttered “oh come on Malfoy where’s you sense of humour? We have to spend the rest of the year around each other cant you at least loosen up” if anything this made him even more furious, the thought of Hermione Granger the most bookish person in the school telling him to loosen up was ludicrous. Angry over everything he glared at her, he hated being laughed at “I don’t think being sat on by a dirty little muggle born as some big joke” as soon as the words were out of his mouth he regretted it, the smile was wiped off her face and her eyes stopped dancing. Looking down at her hands “so its going to be like that Malfoy” and she got up moved to the opposite seat and sat looking out the window.

Staring at her Draco swallowed hard, he felt something he hadn’t felt in a long time and he couldn’t decide if it was guilt or shame, one thing was for certain he didn’t feel like laughing and by looking at her neither did Granger. Looking at her for the first time his eyes widened, across from him sat a tall, beautiful woman she was no longer the bushy haired book worm but a stunningly attractive young woman who happened to be top of the year. Why? Draco asked himself had he never noticed, now furious with himself again he shrugged to himself, what would he care about the looks of a mudblood anyway.

They spent the remainder of the ride to the castle in silence although Draco every now and then looked out the corner of his eye to peek at Hermione, but she just sat there staring out the window, not moving. Draco was glad when the carriage stopped and he was able to escape, he was worried if he stayed in there any longer he might do something stupid like apologise. Walking ahead a few steps he slowed waiting for Hermione to catch up but instead once she climbed down she walked briskly past him, totally ignoring him as if he wasn’t even there. All thoughts of apologising flew out his head, no one ever treated him with such disdain, who did she think she was?

Walking fast to catch up to her, they both paused at the entrance to the school and then walked in, Hermione! Draco!, over here and they turned to see Dumbledore gesturing to them to follow him. Reaching his side he gave them a smile and peered at them over his glasses, his eyes twinkling as if he could see the tension surrounding the pair “everything okay”? Draco gave a nod and Hermione looked away “Just Perfect Professor, Just Perfect”. Dumbledore raised his eyebrows at her tone and gave a slight chuckle “what I want you to do is stand one on each side of the door and wait for the 1st years to be sorted, you will be the last to sit down, you both can handle that I take it” Hermione snorted and without saying a word walked over and stood to the left side of the door, Dumbledore turned and looked questioningly at Draco, who look slightly uncomfortable at Hermione being abrupt with the Headmaster of the school. Dumbledore gave him a nod and left to go sit up at the table.

Looking over at Hermione, Draco saw her standing looking straight ahead and totally ignoring him, okay maybe I was a bit mean but does she have to be so independent, so strong, arghhhh Draco thought to himself ‘stop thinking about her’. As the students started arriving and 1st years got sorted Draco’s mind was elsewhere as he thought about the rest of the year and how impossible it was going to be.

When the sorting was finished Hermione made her way to her table with both Harry and Ron giving her big cheesy smiles, she knew how proud of her they were and she felt the stress of the past 20 minutes fade away, little did she know but Draco had also been watching her approach her table but he wasn’t smiling he was scowling instead, when Draco reached his table there was just Crabbe and Goyle and they were to busy talking about the food that they barely noticed his arrival and then Pansy came and sat next to him pressing her thigh up against his, when he compared his welcome to the greeting Hermione got, he realized maybe his friends didn’t really care about him, maybe they weren’t really his friends. Pushing away that thought he concentrated on what Dumbledore was saying.

Hermione sat in between her two best friends and tried to listen to Dumbledore but she found that she couldn’t concentrate, all she could think about was what Malfoy had said on the carriage ride up to the castle, she couldn’t understand why she was so hurt by his words, for the past 6 years he had been nothing but mean to Harry, Ron and herself there was no reason to expect him to change this year just because he was Head Boy and he had said a few remarks about his father. But as much as she tried to reason it out logically she couldn’t, Damn she thought if only he wasn’t so cute. Sitting up straighter Hermione was shocked where had that thought come from Malfoy’s looks had nothing to do with it.

Turning Harry saw Hermione sigh, he knew his best friend well and he knew she was preoccupied with something and that something was bound to be Malfoy, leaning forward he smiled at her encouragingly and whispered so only her and Ron could hear “when the feast is over, how about we find Dumbledore and ask for an explanation we know him well enough to understand that he is up to something, I would really like to know what”. Both of them nodded and then they heard Dumbledore say, “Let the feast begin” and all the plates magically appeared with food.

After they had stuffed themselves with food and had two helpings of treacle fudge pudding, they got up and made their way up to the teacher’s table, first going to see Hagrid they all had huge grins on their faces. Nodding at them “and how are you three, did you have enough to eat”? Rolling their eyes each of them rubbed their stomachs and Ron was the first to speak “I’m amazed I can move Hagrid, I do this to myself every welcome feast, I think its cause I went all summer without the house elves cooking” chuckling Hagrid raised his goblet of wine “I’ll drink to that Ron, I do the exact same thing” as they all laughed Harry slipped away and walked over to Dumbledore, but before he could say anything Dumbledore gave him a smile and peered over his glasses at Harry “I think I know what you are going to ask Harry, so I would like to see you three at my office, make your way up there now and I will meet you soon”.

Nodding Harry walked back over to his friends and whispered in Hermione’s ear, Harry was not aware that he was being watched, on the other side of the hall sat Draco who was frowning as he watched Harry ‘what’s he up to’ Draco thought as he watched Potter walk back he is far to at ease when talking to the headmaster, but when he saw Potter lean in and whisper in Hermione’s ear he felt a sudden rage at such intimacy, there was a burning feeling in the pit of his stomach, his throat tightened and his fingers twitched as he felt an unreasonable urge to take out his wand and blow Potter to smithereens, breathing deeply Draco tried to calm himself but decided he better leave the room. Getting shakily to his feet he walked quickly out of the hall. Watching all of this Professor Dumbledore sat back in his chair and smiled to himself.

Stopping once he got outside the doorway Draco moved aside and lent back on the wall, taking a few large deep breathes, what’s the matter with me thought Draco to himself, I never loose my cool. This is all Hermione’s fault I don’t know what she did or how she did it but it can’t be me. Suddenly Hermione, Harry and Ron walked out the doors and slowly walked up a nearby flight of stairs talking quietly with each other with their heads bent. Feeling indecisive Draco didn’t know what to do, they were up to something but he didn’t know what, why weren’t they following the other students, where were they going. Finally giving into curiosity Draco slowly crept forward and as quietly as possible he followed them up the stairs. When he reached the top he looked around, where did they go, out of the corner of his eye he saw a flicker of movement and spinning his head he caught sight of them as they turned another corner. What were they up to?

Hermione, Ron and Harry were making there way to Dumbledore’s office when the climbed the stairs and walked down the corridor each of them felt a shiver on the back of their neck, over the years they had been followed enough times to realize the same feeling again. They didn’t feel like they were in danger but they were definitely being followed, over the years they had learnt to trust their instincts, reaching the end of the hallway they paused for a few seconds to see if someone immerged from the stair case, they were about to move on when they saw movement and each of them knew exactly who it was “move” Harry quietly ordered and they turned around the corner, frowning Hermione looked at Harry questioningly “what’s Malfoy following us for”

Looking back at her Harry frowned, Looking at Hermione’s puzzled face Ron asked, “well do we want to shake him, there is a painting we can hide behind just around that corner up there”? Still frowning Harry didn’t answer so Hermione shrugged “let him follow we have nothing to hide”. So they continued on and never looked back, letting Draco follow them. When they reached Dumbledore’s office they waited outside.

As they stood there, Draco was sneaking up the hallway when he got to the corner he slowly lent forward and peeked around the corner. Frowning he stared, the three of them were standing outside a statue of some old witch, and ‘what were they doing’??? Thought Draco as he stood there wondering if he should stay and keep watching or if he should leave. Suddenly he heard voices and when he turned to peek he saw Professor Dumbledore talking to them, then as they were talking the statue behind them started to shake and it moved aside showing stairs that were moving up. Draco watched confused as they all hopped on and disappeared inside, the old statue closing behind them.

Hesitating Draco walked slowly to the statue and placed his hand on it, his eyebrows drew together and he just stood there lost in thought. I always knew Potter, Weasley and the Mudblood was in Dumbledore’s good books but still, seeing them secretly meeting, Draco realized how close they were to the Headmaster. Draco felt an unpleasant feeling in his stomach and finally admitted to himself, it was jealously ‘why does Dumbledore trust them so much, just because of my father, I will never have that kind of trust from anyone, even his father who was a prominent death eater wasn’t trusted by his own friends, so what kind of future do I have’ Draco thought to himself. As he walked off he realized some how his thinking about the three Gryffidor’s had changed he no longer saw them as pathetic losers.

Draco had stayed outside the statue of the witch for a few minutes but then decided it was best to go to bed before Filch found him somehow Draco felt being Head Boy wouldn’t impress Filch very much and he didn’t want to start out his year with a detention. Sighing Draco began to wander down to the dungeons, when he finally reached his common room he spoke the password ‘snake blood’ and entered. The common room still had a few people left in it and he nodded to the ones he knew and then climbed down the ladder into his dormitory.

Sitting down across from Dumbledore sat three best friends with accusing eyes, Harry was the first to speak “Professor why, why Draco, you know we have always fought this year is going to be impossible for Hermione and what if Draco find out about the meetings? He is going to have to spend a lot of time with us” Hermione took a deep breathe and cut in “Professor look at all the things he’s said to us over the years, Malfoy has always been envious of Harry’s fame, and look what he is always saying about me and Ron, he sees Ron as a muggle lover because of his father and he always calls me a mud blood, no offence Sir but what where you thinking of”. Ron opened his mouth and was about to add his thoughts when Dumbledore held up his hand “okay okay, now let me explain”.

Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued “I have been keeping a close eye on Draco since the second he arrived at this school, I knew about his father and I vowed to watch the son. For the first five years I had despaired and I feared the son was turning into the father, even when Voldemort had arisen again at the end of your fourth year he seemed if not even more proud and c*cky, but it was during the 6th year that I started seeing changes, if you think about it I am sure you will remember to” and he stopped speaking and watched the three thoughtful expressions across from him and he smiled to himself, they are so grown up now and he felt a great sorrow because this was their last year and soon they would be going out into the world, the prophecy never explained when it would be fulfilled and they would no longer have the protection of the school. This is why it is so important to destroy Voldemort this year, Albus thought to himself, I can’t let anything happen to them.

Once again it was Harry who spoke first; he looked over and looked directly into Dumbledore’s eyes “I was saying earlier that Malfoy hadn’t said anything about my parents since the end of year five. He has been as obnoxious as ever but he did seem to change, slightly Professor slightly” Dumbledore turned his gaze to Hermione and Ron signaling it their turn to speak, Ron frowned “he still calls me a poor muggle loving idiot when ever he feel like it, but when I think about it he has kind of kept more distance between us, what I mean is, he hasn’t been seeking us out to insult us”. Now all three of them turned and faced Hermione and she felt a little uncomfortable at the close scrutiny.

She paused a little before she spoke remembering what he had said to her in the carriage and the cold sound of his voice, and then she remembered the train ride and how he had given her his handkerchief, frowning she didn’t know what to say, sighing she looked up at Dumbledore “I don’t know, he still calls me mud blood but this year I sense something different about him, maybe he is growing up or maybe Harry, Ron and I have stopped seeing Malfoy as such an enemy”. Total silence met her remarks and she smiled at them with humour, Dumbledore smiled back, his eyes twinkling “well then you can start calling him Draco now, instead of Malfoy”, and he laughed at their expressions. Hermione’s eyes narrowed “don’t push it Professor, don’t push it” and this of course only made Dumbledore laugh harder.

They tried to frown at him but his laughter was infectious and they rolled their eyes and grinned back at him. Sobering up Dumbledore looked at their three grinning faces and sighed, with all that they had been through over the years it never ceased to amaze him just how strong their spirits were, any other normal wizard or witch would have thought of giving up but not these three, their loyalty and love for each other was what was going to help defeat Voldemort because he wouldn’t’t understand such a thing.

Leaning forward Dumbledore rested his elbows on his desk “next week we are having another meeting, I will tell you later on where and when” surprised all three sat up straighter, Harry frowned slightly “that’s very early, Professor we usually don’t meet for another month at least”. Smiling Dumbledore lent back “relax you three, it is only a small meeting, Remus will be there” he saw their delighted smiles and looked at his watch “good lord, look at the time off with you, you have a good sleep and I will see you tomorrow at breakfast, oh and Hermione please tell Draco that I want to see the both of you after lunch” and with that they knew that there was going to be no more conversation so they got up and left.

As they left the room and made their way back to their dormitory they talked quietly to themselves about all that they had discussed Hermione felt a little distracted but she tried to concentrate on what Harry and Ron were talking about, but she kept thinking to herself how am I going to tell Malfoy about meeting with Dumbledore after lunch, she was still thinking about it as she got changed and climbed into bed, should she send him a letter or would he think she was really hurt about his remarks in the carriage and then he would think her a sissy or should she tell him in class, but then she thought I don’t know my times table yet. Suddenly Hermione stilled ‘what on earth was she doing? She was worrying about what Malfoy thought of her, turning over Hermione determinedly put all thoughts of Malfoy out of her head and drifted off into an uneasy sleep.
