Love Doesn't Lie (A Dramione Love Story)

Chapter 2

The train slowly came to a stop as the Hogwarts express neared the platform. After the train had made it to a complete halt, every student got out of their cabins, now fully clothed in their Hogwarts uniforms and got out of the train. As Hermione stepped on the cold stones outside she felt Ron's fingers intertwine with hers. She looked over her shoulder and gave him a small smile before turning back around and seeing Hagrid towering high above all the small first years around him.
'That was us a few years ago.' she whispered.
'Are you coming?' Ron asked.
Hermione nodded and walked alongside Ron towards Harry and Ginny, who were waiting for them at the other end of the platform. After having gotten into a carriage and they had made the trip to the castle, they got out and walked into the school, immediately making their way towards the Great Hall, where dinner would be served and the first years would be sorted into one of the four houses, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. The four of them walked over to the Gryffindor table where they sat down. Hermione looked around the Great Hall and smiled to herself. It was good to be back and they had done such a great job on the restorations of Hogwarts as far as she had seen on their way in. Hermione turned to look at Ron, who had seated himself next to her, and took his hand, giving it a slight squeeze before turning to Harry who had spoken up.
'Are you really sure it was Malfoy?' Harry asked for the tenth time that evening.
'Harry, I was sure the first and second time you asked me, that's not going to change the third to twentieth time you'll ask.' I tell him.
Harry nodded, a frown appearing on his forehead.
'Why? What does he think he's going to do here?' Ron asked.
'I don't know? But McGonagall wouldn't have allowed him to return to Hogwarts if she wasn't sure he had changed, don't you think?' Hermione said.
'I don't know about that one.' Ron said.
When all the students were seated at the right tables and the first years were sorted, McGonagall stepped forward and cleared her throat. Everyone immediately stopped talking and a complete silence filled the Great Hall. McGonagall gave the annual speech and welcomed all the students back at Hogwarts. After she had finished she sat back down behind the teacher's table, which was for everyone else the que to start the feast. Hermione's eyes darted up at the Slytherin table and that's when she saw Draco sitting there, laughing about something Goyle must've said.
'Excuse me.' McGonagall said, standing back up. 'I forgot an important part of my speech.'
Everyone stopped again and turned back to look at her.
'I introduced you to your prefects, but I forgot to name the Head Boy and Head Girl of this schoolyear.' she said.
'Who would that be?' Ron winked, nudging Hermione's arm.
'I don't know.' Hermione shrugged, turning back to McGonagall.
'Head Girl of this year is Hermione Granger.' McGonagall said with a small smile, looking over at Hermione. Everyone started to applaud and whoop, except for the Slytherin students. Hermione smiled and gave McGonagall a thankful nod.
'I'm so proud of you Hermione!' Ginny cheered.
'Thank you.' Hermione smiled.
'And the Head boy of this year is...' McGonagall started again. 'Draco Malfoy.'
You could hear students gasp before it was dead silence in the Great Hall as everyone stared at Draco who was sitting there, wide eyed and his eyebrows raised, staring at McGonagall. After two seconds of silence the Slytherin table erupted into applause and whistles.
'Stay after dinner please, I want to speak to the both of you.' McGonagall said to the both of them.
Both Hermione and Draco nodded and McGonagall sat back down, motioning for everyone to get back to the feast.
'Why Malfoy?' Ron said, disgust written all over his face.
'I don't know, but we can't change it so we have to live with it.' Hermione sighed.
'Why are you saying it as if you don't care? It's Malfoy for Merlin's sake.' Ron exclaimed.
'Ron stop it, she's right you can't change it and maybe he did change.' Ginny said.

'Head Boy mate!' Blaise exclaimed with a huge grin.
'Why does she want to talk to us?' Draco muttered.
'I don't know.' Goyle shrugged.
'And of course knows-it-all Granger has been named Head Girl.' Draco sighed.
'Have you seen her?' Blaise asked.
'No not yet, why?' Draco asked.
Blaise just opened his mouth to answer when Pansy sat down between us. 'Great job Drakie!' Pansy said, grabbing my arm.
'Thanks, can you leave again?' Draco asked.
'Head Boy hu? Maybe you'll have your own room now... that would make it much easier to hang out with each other.' Pansy said, giving Draco an innocent smile, to which Draco just rolled his eyes with a sigh.
Pansy started to talk about other things and Draco felt himself growing more irritated and impatient with every word that left her mouth. Draco was therefore extremely glad when dinner was finally over and everyone went off to their house's common room. Draco got up from his seat after everyone had left and walked over to McGonagall. As Draco neared McGonagall he noticed a brown haired girl nearing him from the corner of his eye. Granger. Draco turned to look to his right and was taken aback by what he saw. Granger... she was the pretty girl from the train.
