"Everything happens for a reason, right?" Hermione asked her to best friends while on the train to Hogwarts for their final year, year 8 as it's know for the 7th years from last year. After the war had ended, students who were still alive got letters from Hogwarts inviting them to come back and finish their final year. Hermione got an extra letter stating that, if she wanted, she was to be Head Girl along with the Head Boy but to this day she doesn't know who the Head Boy is.

They exchanged looks between them before answering. "Yes, I suppose they do. Why 'Mione?"

She looked out the window thinking how to tell them. It's not something that's really all that bad or anything. 5 minutes late she responded. "You both know I got asked to be Head Girl and accepted but you don't know that I don't know who the Head Boy is. So I'm not really sure if I want it anymore. I mean what if it's some sicko?" Hermione's not that innocent, not since 6th year. Ron and her did many things together but after a while she didn't like how sloppy he was and they just fell distant with each other. They didn't have sex but she found that from a helpful Slytherin boy who goes by the name of Blaise Zabini. It was a one off thing and hasn't happened since that night.

He may be arrogant but he knows is stuff and knows to be gentle. It may not have happened since that night but that didn't mean they only did it once. No, in fact they did it a few times that night. Not that Harry or Ron had noticed, they thought and still to this day think that she was studying in the library. She won't tell them until she feels it's time.

"Hermione it's a good thing to be a Head, the school wouldn't have some incompetent idiot there to help add to the problems of the school instead of fixing what's been done. I agree with Harry, but things can get changed for reasons. If the guy is a sicko then you can change them or the very least tell old McGonagall."

"Thanks Ron. But McGonagall isn't old." Hermione smiled as she said this, really McGonagall was just a little rough round the edges. She stood up to go for a walk, she knew if she said that they would want to go with her but she needed time to think. "I'll be back, I'm going to the bathroom. If the trolley lady comes by can you get me something?" She didn't wait for a response she just walked down the small walk way to the next carriage.

In the next carriage she could hear laughter, the laughter sounded so familiar that she was pulled towards the sound. Ginny, she was sitting with Luna and Neville. "Hermione! Where's my lovely boy friend and my annoying brother?" Ginny got up and hugged Hermione.

"Their back in our cabin, I was just taking a walk. I mean I'm in the bathroom."She replied with a smirk, Ginny knew how the boys were and understood immediately that she wanted to be alone. With that knowledge she whipped round and announced that she was going to find Harry, Luna and Neville fallowed suit leaving Hermione to her thoughts and an empty cabin.

There was noise outside the door so she shut it closed her eyes and thought about what this year will bring for her and her fellow classmates. When she opened her eyes she saw she was not alone in the cabin anymore; Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini were sitting in the seat across from her. I wasn't asleep, was I? Hermione thought to herself. She looked at them; they didn't seem to notice her looking at them. They had a silencing spell around them so she couldn't hear what they were saying but that didn't stop her from reading their lips.

Blaise was saying something like 'You'll be alright, you just need strong. You can get through this.'

Malfoy said in reply 'How would you know? I don't want to be Bed Boy!' She realised that she read that wrong, Head Boy was what he said.

Head Boy.

I'm Head Girl!

She had to of read it wrong. Zabini got up finished the silencing spell and left. Hermione looked after him; he turned around at the last second and winked at her. This wasn't out of the ordinary for him now a days, not after that night. She smiled to herself. Looking over at Malfoy she saw him watching her. A smirk appearing on him face, looking in those dark silver eyes she saw something; she couldn't put her fingers on it.

"You know, you shouldn't listen in on others conversations. It's rude." His features turned from smirking to sneering.

"You would know all about being rude, wouldn't you Malfoy? And I wasn't listening! It's a little hard to do that when you have a silencing spell up now, isn't it?" Hermione retaliated after being found out.

He barked out what could have been a laugh, Hermione wasn't sure. "I suppose I do know about being rude but you would know all about lip reading." He accused knowing that he had her.

"So you're rude and I'm smart. You're also Head Boy?"

Malfoy's face fell again. He really looked like he was in pain. "I suppose I am."

"What? Not happy to know that you can't be the child you were last year?"

"What? No, it has nothing to do with me being a child. Pfft. What would you know about being a Head? Unless… don't tell me you got Head Girl?" I didn't have to say anything I just let my big smile do all the talking for me. He seemed to get the message behind it. "Oh god! Now I'm really going to quit." He stood up and paced a few times before sitting down again, Hermione watched him a few times then looked out the window.

Realisation finally hit Hermione, he didn't know I was going to be Head Girl and now that he does he's going to quit! "Why are you quitting?"

"Not that it's any of your business but I'm not cut out for this. Like any ones going to look up to me or listen to me, I'm a fucking ex-death eater for Christ sake! I don't even care about the school. I only came back to pass!" He had started pacing in the middle of his outburst.

"Prove them all wrong."WHAT AM I SAYING? I DON'T WANT HIM TO BE HEAD BOY! He gave her a surprised look. Not knowing what to do, she said the first thing that came to mind. "It's true that you being a ex Death Eater well give you some problems but it will help as well. You can use that as an advantage. People are still scared of Death Eaters, use it."

He looked like he was actually considering what she had said. He looked right at her, straight in her brown eyes, she didn't like what she saw there. He was planning something… but what? "You said 'people are still scared of Death Eaters,' does this include you?" The look in his eyes scared her a little, they were dangerous. She nodded not trusting her own voice. "Does that include you?" He got up, walked over to her and stood in front of her then bent down so they eye's were level.

This seemed to shake her out of whatever it was she was in. "No. I'm not scared of Death Eaters. You however better be scared." He lifted one eyebrow in a questionable way.

"And why would I be scared?" A slow smile spread across her face, he felt something at his hip. A wand, he looked down as saw Hermione's wand move to point at his penis, he didn't like that at all. He flung himself backward so he was sitting across from her again.

"Like I said, you should be scared. I'll see you at school, or in our common room. That is, if you're not too scared to be a Head." Feeling better about being Head Girl and knowing who Head Boy is Hermione walked back to her cabin and thought of different ways she could have fun this year.
