A/N: Re-written!
Ginny's P.O.V:
Professor Flitwick walks in with the first years behind him, usually it would have been Professor McGonnagal who walked them in but she was the headmistress now so she clearly couldn't be. She stands up and starts calling up the names of the students one by one. We get 8 Griffendors, 11 Hufflepuffs, 5 Ravenclaws and 15 Slytherins. 39 kids in total.
After the kids sit down Professor McGonnagal moves to the stand that Dumbledor used to stand behind to start her speech. "Welcome, or welcome back students." She starts "Before I begin, a moment of silence for all the fallen, brave people who died in tragedy last year." Everyone goes quiet, the lights dim. I hear a few sobs, I feel tears in my own eyes, I glance over at Harry and he's looking down.
I take his hand and squeeze, he smiles at me and squeezes back. The lights go back up. "Now, some notices before I announce the heads, and before dinner. The forbidden forest is off limits to all student personnel." She throws a glance our way.
"The year 7s do not have to be in uniform if they wish to not be." She says and I grin. "Our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is Professor Lupin, he has kindly come back to teach. He is also the new head of Griffendor house as I can no longer fill that post because of my new possession."
"Most importantly we have a notice from the Ministry of Magic and the Minister himself has come to announce this." She says and looks to the door at the back of the teachers table. Kingsley walks through and on to the podium as McGonagall steps down. "Thank you, Minerva. Now, as we all know, the reason for the battle, war, last year was because of Voldemort." A few people gasp and there's shuffling around. "This was because he resented the muggle population, to stop this from occurring again we have made it compulsory for every wizard and witch to have a phone."
"This is a muggle device that helps you connect to others. This is a device widely used across the muggles, it is rare to find a muggle without one. Explanations on how to use the phone will be on the device. If you do not take one you will be expelled." A few more gasps. "This may seem a bit harsh but nothing is without reason."
Kingsley waves his wand and a bunch of boxes appear to float towards each table and smaller boxes start coming out of them and landing in front of each person. A few of the muggle borns seem excited. Hermione slips something out of her pocket and the box that was about to go in front of her moved to Luna.
Everyone is quiet as they explore this new device. The explanation is hard to understand but I kind of get it. Hermione and Harry help us understand a bit more of this.
Around 10 to 20 minutes later Professor McGonnagal clears her throat and we all turn back to her. "On to the heads. As expected, the Head Girl is Hermione Granger." Everyone in the hall claps though I'm pretty sure some Slytherins don't. "The Head Boy, unexpectedly, is Draco Malfoy." Everyone goes quiet, no one moves. The year 1s look around confused.
Then everyone erupts in anger and defiance. A lot of people from every house, even a few Slytherins. "Everyone quiet!" McGonagall snaps. Everyone shuts up. "I have made my decision, if you don't like it please keep it to yourself. Heads meet me in my office after dinner." She waves her hands and dinner appears and everyone starts eating.
Hermione's P.O.V:
I can't believe that he is a head boy, that I have to share a dorm with him, well more of a common room but still! I don't want to deal with him ever again. Not after everything that he did.
After dinner I say goodbye to my friends and join Malfoy on my way to Professor McGonagal's office. As I walk I think. It makes sense that she would choose Malfoy as a head, he is just behind me in studies, he's relatively smart and he was a prefect.
We both come to a stop at the gargoyle guarding the office. "How do we get in?" He asks. "Password." I answer. "I don't suppose you know it?" He asks. "No, but-" I turn to the gargoyle. "Dumbledor." I say and it spins open. Malfoy raises an eyebrow. I roll my eyes and walk in, him following me.
When we reach the door I knock. "Come in!" Professor McGonagal calls. We both walk in, she gestures for us to sit down and we both sit. "I was just about to come down in case you didn't know the password." She says with a small smile on her face. I nod. "Ok, so do you both know that you have to share a common room?" She asks, we both nod, wow he's read Hogwarts a History.
"Ok good, that usually is a problem, do you know where it is?" We nod once more. "Perfect! Ok so about your jobs. You will obviously have to go on patrols at night and you are allowed to give and take points, when deserved that is." She glances at Malfoy who nods. "You'll also help set up for the holidays and I think that's about it. If there is anything else I will let you know." We both nod. "Your password is 'Secrets'. You may leave." We get up and say goodbye and then walk out.
We walk in silence all the way to our dorm. I stay in front of him so I don't have to listen to him if he tries to talk to me. I can practically feel his stare burning into the back of my skull. I want to slap him and tell him to stop looking at me. But I can't, I'm the head girl now and if anyone was lurking around I can't set a bad example. Sometimes I hate being so responsible.
A/N: Longest chapter yet. Hope you enjoyed. The next chapter will be short and just Dramione exploring the dorms.
