Chapter 1 Head dormitory

Hello everyone that reads my stories. This is a whole new story. Draco and Hermione are head boy and girl and you'll notice what is going to happen. For my story isn't Draco a deatheater and Dumbledore isn't dead.

Were in the seventh year at Hogwarts of Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy. Draco is totally in love with Hermione. But she doesn't know. Hermione keeps dating Viktor Krum, she met in the fourth year. He is in love with her too. Draco is lonesome.

But nobody knows about Draco loving Hermione. Draco fell in love in their second year. He was upset she wouldn't see him and started to annoy her. He got her attention, but not the attention he actually wanted. He hoped it would end soon, but it didn't and he found out that this wasn't just a crush.

Hermione her feelings changed in the sixth year. She saw Draco's other side. She saw him crying. She didn't knew why, but she saw it. He hasn't been mean to her for the entire year and she started to believe he really turned over a new leaf. Ron and Harry didn't want to believe it.

They train stopped. Draco put on his headboy badge and stepped out of the train. There she stood. Like an angel talking to a few freshmen. Crabbe and Goyle have decided not to continue there study at Hogwarts. He would be the only slytherin that came back to finish the seventh year. He didn't mind. He hasn't been that close with the other slytherins. He walked to Hagrid to hear his orders. But Hagrid wasn't there. In his place professor Varicosus stood there.

'Where is professor Hagrid?' asked Draco to her.

'Professor Hagrid is away for a part of the year so I'll be taking the lessons back. What can I do for you?' said professor Varicosus.

'We just wanted to know what we're supposed to do now,' said Hermione who came standing next to him. Draco felt his heart started to beat faster and louder in his chest.

'Well, actually you don't have to do anything now. But could you do me a favour? Would you bring the freshmen to the boats. I really hate to sail in those a way to small boats. I'll explain it to professor Dumbledore,' said professor Varicosus.

'That's okay,' said Draco. 'To you too?'

'I'm okay with it,' said Hermione. A group of first years gathered around.

'Right all first years. I'm Draco Malfoy. I'm headboy,' cried Draco.

'And I'm Hermione Granger. I'm the headgirl. If you want to know anything about classes or things like that you can always ask us. But first we'll go to the boats. We're going to sail over the lake to the castle,' continued Hermione. They started to walk to the boats. Up the small hill. At the top lots of ohs and ahs sounded.

'Everybody! This is Hogwarts. Your home for at least the following six years, and maybe seven. There are the boats. Form groups of three or four and chose a boat to sit,' said Draco. All first years ran to the boats. They pushed to be first in the boats. That couldn't go right.

'Stop pushing, someone will fall in the water!' shouted Draco. But it already happened. A small boy lost his balance. He grab another boy and that one a girls robe and they all fell in the water. The two boys swam and reached the bank. But the girl floundered and drove of.

'I can't swim! Help!' she shouted. Then she got a ducking and came chuckling above. Draco dove into the water. And swam to the girl.

'Climb on my back and hold me. Relax. Everything will be fine,' he said. The girl grabbed his hand and climbed on his back. Draco swam to the bank and let the girl down. The freshmen cheered. But most important, Hermione smiled at him. Despite of his clothes were wet he felt warm inside. Hermione gave her robe to the girl, who was shivering. Calmly the children climbed into the boats and they set for the castle.

'In the castle you'll be sorted into four houses, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Your house is sort of like your second family. There is a competition between the four houses about the house cup. Your house can win it by having the most points at the end of the year. You can get points for knowledge in class or good behaviour. Points are taken for rule breaking and not paying attention,' told Hermione while the sailed over the lake.

In the hallway professor McGonagall was waiting for them. She saw a wet Draco and three wet first years.

'What happened?' she asked.

'When they saw the boats the first years went wild and all wanted to climb in the boats first. Then three of them fell in the water. Two had swim back to the bank, but one almost drowned. Draco jumped after her and saved her. That's what happened,' told Hermione. Draco nodded.

'Right,' said professor McGonagall. 'Mister Malfoy you know where the trunks are. Go there and change. Take the three wet kids with you. You can change in a few nearby classrooms. Miss Granger, wait here for a moment with the other first years. Warn me when mister Malfoy is back.'

Hermione and Draco nodded and Draco took the wet first years to the trunks. They changed in a few classrooms and went back to the group. Hermione went to professor McGonagall.

'Have you already been visited by the ghosts?' asked Draco. The freshmen shook there heads.

'Did someone call me?' said an annoying voice. Peeves came through the wall.

'Peeves nobody called you. We were talking about the ghost and you're a poltergeist. Well first years. This is Peeves, the poltergeist. Peeves you know I get on pretty well with the bloody baron?' said Draco.

'I'm sorry your majesty headboy Malfoy. I wont be in your way,' said Peeves and left. Hermione came in.

'That was Peeves. You better avoid him. The only one who can hold him are the bloody baron and professor McGonagall, who you met just a few minutes ago. He likes to tease freshmen,' explained Draco.

'Did Peeves just passed here?' asked Sir Nicolas.

'Yes, but I can get on with the bloody baron so he left fast. By the way. These are the first years. First years, this is sir Nicolas. Some people call him nearly headless Nick, but he doesn't like that a lot. He is the ghost of Gryffindor,' said Draco.

'Professor McGonagall will come for us in a few seconds,' said Hermione. The doors of the great hall swung open and professor McGonagall came in.

'Form a line and follow me,' said professor McGonagall to the Freshmen.

Draco and Hermione both went to the table of there houses.

Hermione couldn't sleep. She really saw it with her own eyes, Draco saved the child. Harry and Ron wouldn't believe her, but she knew Draco turned over a knew leaf. He was probably snoring in the room next to her. Yes Draco and Hermione got their own house. Because they were both head boy and girl they got the Head dormitory. It was a secret passage in the astronomy tower.

She got up and walked to their lounge She sat down on the couch and saw Draco. He looked at her. And she stared back. There was a muggy silence.

'Why aren't you that brat anymore, you were a two years ago?' broke Hermione the silence.

'Is it a good change for you?' asked Draco, not answering her question.

'Yes, but why?' asked Hermione.

'My dad,' said Draco. 'He controlled my life. He even tried to force me joining the army of his dark lord, you know him as Voldemort. I realized just in time this wasn't me. It was my father who wanted to do this. Not me. So I ran just in time. I wanted to start a new life. I wanted to start with a clean slate. But the past left his scars.'

'You're suffering. I know you did that last year,' said Hermione. Draco gave her a confused look.

'I saw you crying in a classroom. More then once. Maybe I can help you?' said Hermione.

'Maybe,' said Draco. 'But will you be able to go past all the times I called you names and made fun of you?'

'When I saw you saving that girl I was already past that. I always knew you had a good side, but I didn't know where. I thought you finally discovered it, you just needed some time to explore it. But when you finally founded out how it worked, it will start to bloom. I'll try to help you,' said Hermione.

Draco smiled and said: 'I'm alone from now on. There is nobody who stands next to me. And I would really appreciate it if you would be my friend.'

Hermione smiled too: 'Of course I will. But you must promise to act nice towards my friends too.'

'Promise.' Hermione yawned.
