Author's Note: This is my very first fanfiction. I absolutely adore the idea of Draco and Hermione as a couple, so I figured that I would try out writing my first fanficiton centred around them. Although this is a Dramione story, I will thrown in bits about Harry/Ginny. Also, this fanfic completely disregards the epilogue in Deathly Hallows (Seventeen Years Later).

Disclaimer: Anything your recognize does not belong to me, and I make no money off of this whatsoever.

Chapter One: Home Sweet Home

"Home, sweet home," Hermione sighed as she laid eyes on her beautiful new common room. New, as in she was not staying in the Gryffindor common room anymore. Just before the beginning of Hermione's repetition of her seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hermione received a letter. The letter was addressed to 'Miss Hermione Granger,' and it was from Headmistress Minerva McGonagall. Inside of the envelope was a gold badge with "HG" engraved in elegant font across the centre, and "Hogwarts" across the bottom. This badge was accompanied by a piece of folded parchment congratulating Hermione on her new position as Head Girl.

Hermione began circling the room, taking each minor detail in with interest. The floor was beautiful marble and the colours were glistening emerald green and bright gold. What a strange combination, Hermione thought. The heavy drapes covering the windows were a shocking scarlet with shining silver threading, and these were set against onyx black walls. However, the beautiful colours throughout the common room were not what astounded Hermione the most. Nor was it the gorgeous grand staircase in the centre of the common room. No, the most surprising attribute of the room that left Hermione completely gob smacked was the enormous flat screen television mounted on the wall beside the portrait hole. Hermione never thought that she would find something so…well, muggle in a school dedicated to teaching magic.

After tearing her attention away from the vast collection of DVD's framing the television on three sides, Hermione finished her tour of the first level of the head dormitory. After seeing the kitchen, which was complete with a fully-stocked refrigerator and a stove-and-oven set, Hermione made her way up the elegant black, gold, and silver staircase. At the top of the stairs, there were two doors. One door on the far right was purple (Hermione's favourite colour) with the Gryffindor lion on it, painted in gold. The other door that was on the far left was a deep, emerald green, matching the colour of the tiles on the floor downstairs. This door bore the Slytherin emblem, which was a silver snake.

"This must be the Head Boy's room," Hermione thought aloud. She hadn't even been told who the Head Boy was by McGonagall. Hermione had been so absorbed in her own thoughts about who the Head Boy could possible be that she didn't notice that there was now someone standing over shoulder. In fact, she hadn't even realized that someone else had entered the room. Hermione was only broken out of her reverie when she heard a familiar, drawling voice behind her.

"Well, well, Granger. I definitely did not suspect that my dorm mate would be an infuriating little bookworm like you."
