Hardest Of Hearts; Chapter Two.

Chapter Two - Head Girl and Head Boy.

When they were on the Platform, Hermione saw Harry and the rest of her friends. She turned to Malfoy and told him that she would see him later. She then made her way towards them.

"What was all that about?" Ron asked, Luna still basically attached to his arm.

"You tell me." She said, shortly. She walked on ahead of him and didn't hear what his reply was. Harry caught up with her and grabbed her hand. "Are you okay 'Mione?" He asked, concern all over his face.

"No, but I will be. It will just take some time to get used to." She squeezed his hand, reassuring him then she let go. They got to the castle pretty quickly and before they knew it, the sorting was over and done with. They had a good few new students in Gryffindor with them. It was time for the meal and Hermione was really grateful, she was starving because she didn't get to get anything from the trolley on the train. Hermione was going over what had happened in the compartment with Malfoy and she wasn't aware that Ron was listening to them.

"Why were you crying?" He suddenly said. Hermione's head whipped up from her food to glare at him.

"I was talking to Harry, not you. Get back to snogging Looney." She said, looking back at Harry. Ron's face went red with anger and he was about to say something, but at that moment, Dumbledore stood up and Ron was cut off.

"Now I would like to tell everyone who the new Head's are. You Head Girl this year is none other than Miss Hermione Granger," Roars errupted from the Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables, "And your Head Boy is Draco Malfoy." The tables that were cheering for Hermione suddenly went quiet, cheers from the Slytherin table took thier place. Whisper's were flying all around the Great Hall. Hermione turned around to look at Malfoy, he looked just as shocked as she did.

"What? Draco soddin' Malfoy is Head Boy?" She heard Ron mutter.

"Would you both join me up here after the feast. Everyone else may head to bed now. Classes will begin tomorrow morning. Goodnight." Dumbledore said, and everyone began to rise from their seats. Hermione said bye to Harry then headed towards Dumbledore who said standing in front of the teacher's table. Malfoy was already standing there.

"You will both be sharing a common room and dorm. It's on the 7th floor. Follow me." Dumbledore said, and they obeyed. A few minutes later they were at the Head's dorm. "The password is 'Lust'." Dumbledore informed them.

"Lust?" Malfoy said, raising his eyebrows.

"Yes, Lust. Now go on, off to bed. I will see you both at breakfast." And with that, he dissappeared. Hermione and Malfoy entered the common room. Hermione gasped. It was beautiful! The room was huge, there was a big fireplace opposite where they just entered and in front of it there was a huge black, leather couch. On either side, a bit closer to the fire, there was two single chairs, one maroon and one green facing each other. There was also a brown coffee table inbetween them. At the left wall there was a huge bookshelf, full of big and small books. To the right there was another door. Hermione walked over to it and opened the door. It was a small kicthen. She yelped with delight, she loved baking. Everything in the kitchen was black and white. She opened one of the cabinets and discovered it was full of food. "Refilling cabinets." She said, smiling. She headed back into the common room to see Malfoy admiring the bookshelf. She looked beside the fireplace and noticed two doors. One had her innitials on it and the other had Malfoy's. She opened her door and climbed the stairs. She opened her bedroom door and screamed in delight. It looks just like my room at home! She thought. There was a double bed in the center of the room with purple cushions and blankets. The walls were a light lilac colour and there was also a dark purple carpet. To the left of the room there was a big brown desk with all of her quills and parchment on it. To the right, there was another smaller table. She walked over to it and found a box with a note attached. She opened it slowly and read aloud.

Miss Granger,
You will find your bedroom here at Hogwarts the exact same as your own one back home. I thought it would make you feel more comfotable that way. Also in this box, you will find your stereo and your CD's. As you know electricity does not work in the castle but I charmed it so that it will work with the touch of your wand. Enjoy! I will see you tomorrow morning.
Album Dumbledore.

She screamed and put the letter back down. She ripped open the box and pulled her CD's and stereo from it. She tapped her wand against the power button and placed her favorite CD in. The stereo came to life and she put the volume as high as it could go. She bagan singing:

A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes,
I screamed aloud as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind.

She didn't notice that her door had opened and Malfoy was standing there. He cleared his throat loudly. She stopped signing and turned to look at him.

"What's that?" He asked, confusion on his face.

"Muggle music." She said, smiling.

"How are you playing it?" He looked genuinely curious. She tossed him the note that Dumbledore left and he read it.

"That's cool. What's the name of the band?" He asked, pointing towards the stereo.

"Florence and the Machine. They're my favorite band." She walked over to her wardrobe and began putting her clothes inside. When she was done, she turned around to see Malfoy sitting at the end of her bed. He was really enjoying this music, so she didn't disturb him. Well I have gotten changed in front of boys before, she thought, so why not now? She took off her school uniform so she was left standing in her underwear. Malfoy jumped up from the bed when he noticed her.

"What are you doing?" He gasped.

"Getting changed into my pajamas. You looked like you were enjoying the music so I didn't want to interupt you." She simple said and smiled. She put purple shorts on then pulled a black tank top over her head. When she was dressed, she went to the mirror and tired her hair up. She walked over to her bed and pulled the covers open. She climbed in and started singing again. She didn't notice that Malfoy was staring at her.

"Well.. Um.. I should be getting to bed.." He said, standing up again. He walked towards the door and opened it. When he was out of her room, she stood against the wall and ran his hands through his hair. "Wow.." Was all he managed to breathe and then he went towards his own room, more than ready for a good night sleep
