Chapter 1: Head Girl

Hermione woke to the sound of an alarm clock she had set the night before. She stretched comfortably, reluctant to leave her nice, warm bed but she saw something move on her windowsill. She moved over to the window and took the parchment and parcel from the grasp of a barn owl's talons. It immediately flew away.

Hermione sat down on her bed and untied to parchment. She sped read it through once. Realizing what it said, her face broke into a wide grin.

Miss Hermione Granger,

I am pleased to inform youon your recent accomplishment of becoming Head Girl. Enclosed is a badge. This title gives you the right to take away house points when necessary and give detentions. If these privileges are misused, I will have no other choice but to take away your badge. On the train to Hogwarts, I would like you to come to the Head Compartment to meet the Head Boy.

Congratulations,

Albus Dumbledore

She carefully opened the very small parcel next to her. Inside was a shiny, little badge that read 'Head Girl.'

She raced down the stairs to tell her parents the good news, the last few steps she skipped. Her parents had already made breakfast and set the table, waiting for their daughter to join them. "Mom! Dad! I made Head Girl!" she exclaimed happily.

"Oh, 'Mione, I'm so proud of you!" her mother squealed as she hugged her tightly.

"That's wonderful, Hermione," her dad said before giving her a hug as well.

She went through breakfast without being able to stop grinning. Looking at the hour, she went upstairs to finish packing for her seventh year at her school. Soon she was out the door, on her way to the train station.

Draco stretched after waking up from a particularly good dream with one of his…'lady friends.' There was a light tap on the door. "Come in," Draco said firmly.

Serby, one of the Malfoy house elves, walked in with a tied up piece of parchment and a little package.

"This came this morning, Master Malfoy," Serby announced offering them to Draco.

"Good. Now you can go," Draco said as he opened up the piece of parchment. He read through, his trademark smirk slowly forming on his face. He also opened the parcel and found a badge reading 'Head Boy.'

Draco got dressed and went down to the dining room where his breakfast sat, ready for him, at one end of the long, narrow table. He ate all of it and went back to his room to gather his things.

He strode outside, Serby following with his trunk and other belongings. Draco climbed into the limo and waited for it to leave. The driver sat back down in the front seat after putting his trunk in the trunk. (A/N: Haha trunk in the trunk. Ok never mind) "Good morning, Master Malfoy," he said.

Draco didn't pay any mind him, he just looked out the window, watching the trees and houses pass until they reached the train station.

Hermione had already said her farewell to her parents and was getting on the train trying to find Harry and Ron to tell them her good news of becoming Head Girl. After searching just about every compartment, she found them and went in. Hermione sat down across from both of her best friends, telling them about her achievement. They congratulated her heartily before she left to go to the Head Compartment to find out who the Head Boy was.

She stood in front of the door labeled 'Head Compartment' and took a deep breath to calm her nerves. Hermione slid the door open and just stood there, shocked…
