CHAPTER 1: At first (Hermione)

"Hermione, how are you doin?" I heard Ron say from across the crowded kitchen of his house.

"I'm doing fine Ron, how are you?" I asked not really caring how he was.

"Oh, I'm great. But there were letters sent to everyone at Hogwarts that the Head Boy and Head Girl won't be chosen until we get to Hogwarts. How odd is that?" he said.

"That is quite odd. Maybe Dumbledore wishes to make it for the entire school to see at the feast, rather then telling us before we go to school so no one knows about it until they finally figure it out for themselves. But hopefully they picked someone good for the job. I'm sorry but I must use the restroom" i said finally.

"Okay." Ron replied as I started to walk towards the bathroom.

Once inside I locked the door and I sat down on the edge of the bathtub. Why couldn't I get him out of my head? I hated him since I first met him. He was the rudest most arrogant person on the planet, but somehow those eyes and that face kept creeping into my mind. Draco Malfoy was the last person I wanted to think about. Maybe I could get myself together before the beginning of term, which was only a few days off, if I couldn't I don't know how I could handle sharing any classes with him. I just had to hope that I could handle myself.

After I took a washcloth and put cold water on it and patted it onto my forehead for a minute I hung the rag back up and went back out of the bathroom. All of the Weasleys were in their small kitchen talking all at once about how much they were going to miss each other because now the only two Weasleys left at Hogwarts were Ron and Ginny, and it was going to be hard having Fred and George move out. Although I believe that Mrs. Weasley was secretly happy that Fred and George were moving out, then she wouldn't have to worry about their practical jokes that they so liked to play on her.

We ate our dinner and said our goodnights. The boys went to their rooms and Ginny and I went to her room.

"What's on your mind Hermione?" Ginny asked.

"Nothing, I'm just nervous about the start of term. Everyone says that Dumbledore is going to make me Head Girl and I'm not so sure I would want that responsibility. I have enough trouble handling my friends let alone the whole school. But I'm tired so I will see you in the morning, good night Ginny." i said laying back on my bed.

"Good night Hermione." Ginny replied sounding as if she wasn't quite satisfied with what I said.

Within moments I heard Ginny snoring and I knew that even if I started to think out loud it would be okay. My mind was racing, thinking about all the horrible things Malfoy has ever said to me. I distinctly remember the day he called me a mudblood for the first time and Ron tried to hex him with eating slugs but it backfired on himself. That was a day I will never forget. But even as I was thinking of how much I loathed Draco Malfoy, I couldn't help but admit to myself that he was good looking. With his cold grey eyes, pale skin and beautiful blonde hair that fell sexily into his eyes.

"What is wrong with me?" I asked myself in a harsh whisper.

Shaking my head I rolled over and drifted off to sleep thinking of him, wondering why he was in my mind so much lately? I had no clue but I sure as hell wanted to find out.

A/N: Okay so I started this story on and it would only let me post one unvalidated chapter at a time and it was taking like six days to get validated and it was driving me insane. So I decided to put it on here. Please read and review, Hope you enjoy!
