A twist of fate

Chapter 1 - Back to Hogwarts

    It was finally the end of summer and all the Hogwarts students were looking forward to another eventful year at Hogwarts. Many of the student and professors knew that the final battle was drawing nearer. The battle between the light and dark side, and no-one knew about the twist that was going to take place. No-one knew the full truth about the battle except the blonde haired, mysterious boy Draco Malfoy. No-one knew that he had to make the choice whether to save the light side or the dark side and all he had to do was love the enemy.

     Ron Weasley and Hermione Grainger, Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood; the golden couples as they were now known at Hogwarts, boarded the train and went to the empty compartment reserved for them. Each of them knew exactly what they wanted to do this year and hoped it would be lovely and peaceful however they knew that Hogwarts was never lovely and peaceful but eventful and adventures. With one blow of the whistle and several parents shouting their goodbyes to their beloved children the train slowly trudged away from the station.

    Hermione was lost in her thoughts, as per usual. She really wanted to be head-girl this year. The letter to the head-girl and the letter to the head-boy were being given to the lucky two while going to Hogwarts and then the two will meet with Professor McGonagall where they will be told their responsibilities and will get to know each other. Suddenly Hermione’s trains of thoughts were interrupted because a letter that showed importance had come along, not knowing what to expect, she slowly tore the top of the envelope. Hermione had never felt so proud of herself in her life:

  Dear Ms Grainger,

We are delighted to inform you that you have been nominated as head-girl this year. Congratulations! Please come join me and your partner (head- boy) at compartment 8b in five minutes. Thank you and again I say congratulations.

In this envelope you will find your badge and list of duties you will have to attend to every day and evening.

Yours gratefully,

 Professor Albus Dumbledore and Professor Minerva McGonagall.

Hermione’s P.O.V

  My heart was racing as I made my way down to compartment 8b. So many questions were running through my head:

Who’s the head-boy?

What house is he in?

What’s he like?

When will I find out who he is?

   I found compartment 8b with two minutes to spare, slowly pulling back the door I noticed Professor McGonagall talking to a bleach blond haired slytherine. I could tell he was in slytherine because of robes. Slowly pulling the door closed behind me McGonagall started to speak: “So you see, you and the head-girl have to share a common room it’s the new rule that has been passed so you’se two can bond better.” The head-boy had gorgeous bleach blond hair that hung just above his shoulders; he had slight muscle which you could see under his school jumper. Who was this mysterious gorgeous boy? “Okay Professor I understand. But who is the Head-girl?” Professor McGonagall gave one small nod of the head in my direction and I knew instantly that he was about to turn around. “Good Morning Professor. Good morning…….” My body was sent into shock. Draco Malfoy, my worst enemy. He is the head-boy; he is the mysterious, gorgeous, sexy boy sitting in front of me. “Good morning Draco” I managed to choke out these words. “Morning Hermione, hope you are well we have a lot of responsibilities to attend too.”

  Professor McGonagall explained to me what I had to do every morning and evening. Also she explained about me and Draco having to share a common room with each other.  After that she left us to talk and get to know each other, but all I wanted to do was get out of his presence and tell

Ginny about this. I guess I can tell her later.

POV from Draco

     I was sat in the compartment I always did with Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy and a few others. They were talking about their summer whilst I got lost in thought. I was hoping to have a peaceful train ride until a letter came addressed to me, instantly I knew what it was for.

    Dear Mr Malfoy,

We are delighted to inform you that you have been nominated as head-boy this year. Congratulations! Please come join me and your partner (head-girl) at compartment 8b in five minutes. Thank you and again I say congratulations.

In this envelope you will find your badge and list of duties you will have to attend to every day and evening.

Yours gratefully,

 Professor Albus Dumbledore and Professor Minerva McGonagall.

   I stood up straight away and headed to compartment 8b without telling my friends what the letter said. Walking down the train and slipping into compartment 8b Professor McGonagall was there waiting for me and the head-girl, who ever that was. I sat their listening as she went over the list with me and suddenly she said “You and the head-girl have to share a dormitory this year, it’s a new rule that has been set so you can bond better with the head-girl because we have had head-girls and head-boys who have had to be replaced because they could not get along!” I didn’t even know who the head-girl was let alone know how I was going to get along with her. “But professor McGonagall girl and boys are not allowed to share dorms!” She started talking to me and explaining about the new rule. I heard the door slide shut, pretending I had been listening to the conversation I got the last little snippet so at least to the head-girl I was listening. “So you see, you and the head-girl have to share a common room it’s the new rule that has been passed so you’se two can bond better.” I desperately wanted to turn around but I restrained myself by continuing to speak with Professor McGonagall “Okay Professor I understand. But who is the Head-girl?” She nodded her head, knowing that that was my indication she was here I slowly turned round. She froze but at least she said good morning.

    I sat there while McGonagall explained everything gain to Hermione. All I kept thinking was. WOW! Hermione is hot. The next thing I realised Professor had left and me and Hermione were left alone in compartment 8b. I didn’t know what to say. Hermione looked lost in thought. That is when I realised I don’t want to fight with her anymore. I just wanted to be friends.

    We sat in silence for a while, and then Draco spoke which made me jump. “Hermione, I know you and me have been rivals since we started this school…… Can we please just start over and forget everything; it is our final year together after all……Also we are going to have to spend a lot of time in each other’s company?” I was gobsmacked I didn’t know what to say but he wanted to start over and I really didn’t want to fight with him all year. Can Draco of changed? “Sure that would be nice……” There was a long silence again, this time I chose to speak first: “Draco, if you need any help with your studies or anything like that you can ask me and I will help you. It doesn’t even have to be about studies you can ask me or talk to me about anything I will be there to listen and help you out as best I can!” He looked at me with a confused gaze “Sure…. I may have to take you up on that offer.” And with that we both decided to get changed into our robes so that when we arrived we could help the other students to the boats and the carriages.
