Hermione's POV

Waking up the next morning, it was just as much as a rush as it was going to Diagon Alley. Thankfully I had packed everything except for the few thing I needed in the morning. Being Hermione Granger had its perks; for one, organisation is practically engrained in me. After laughing at Ginny's bed hair and mad scramble for the bathroom, I decided to go see if Harry and Ron were packed and ready for breakfast. I internally snorted, after all these years you'd think they would have learnt but I knew the chances of that were slim to none. As I walked up the stairs to Ron's room I could hear what seemed like to be a screaming match. I scrunched my eyebrows wondering what was wrong with them because all they seem to be doing is fighting lately. They were meant to be best friends, brothers even, this much fighting can't be good. Honestly, I was slightly hurt because I thought they would have asked me for help if it was serious, well I hoped Harry would ask. As I got closer I could make out what they were saying, "you NEED to tell her Ron, you can't keep hiding it! She's my sister so I don't want her hurt!" Sister? Did Harry mean me, I rolled my eyes, obviously he meant me. What exactly did Ron need to tell me? Well I think I already know, I'm not stupid, I just want to pretend for a while before it all comes crashing down. Better yet, I want to be wrong for the first time and that I was just reading into everything too much.

Not realising I'd got lost in my thoughts, I jumped when I heard the door open. "Hermione!?"

"Oh hey guys. I just came to call you down for breakfast and see if you've packed, which I bet you haven't." I giggled at the end. The pair looked slightly pale before Ron stammered nervously "erm h-how how long have you been stood there?" whilst scratching the back of his head. He always did that when he was nervous.

"Not that long. I just came to call down for breakfast and to make sure you've actually finished packing." I'm not sure why I decided to lie, but I decided that a few more days of pretending that me and Ron weren't drifting apart wouldn't do that much harm. If only I realised how wrong I was!

"Honestly Hermione, we know how to pack we've been doing it for years now" Harry just rolled his eyes at me, while Ron chose to stay quiet.

"So, you haven't just shoved everything you need into your bags right now?" I inquired, with a slight smirk on my face.

"Well....." Harry flashed a cheeky smile before grabbing Ron and running down the stairs. Ron grinned at me, "How about breakfast?" and started laughing and running after Harry. "Ya know it's bloody scary how well she knows us" I heard Ron say to Harry. "of course she knows us, she's our best friend I wouldn't expect anything less" I could practically see Harry rolling his eye. I laughed before walking down the stairs like a normal person.

After eating the humungous breakfast, we all made sure we had everything we need. Miss Weasley was running around picking stuff up while shouting randomly at us all. "Ron have you packed all your books?"
"Yes mum"
"Hermione is your trunk in the living room with the rest? Of course it is what am I saying?"
I grinned slightly, liking that even when Miss Weasley was worried she trusted me to be ready, before picking up some more dishes from the table.
"Ginny your room better be tidy young lady!"
"Yes mother" Ginny groaned.
Harry on the other hand stood quietly laughing at us, while staying out of Miss Weasley's sight.
"Harry don't think just because I can't see you means I've forgotten about you!"
That caused the grin on Harry's face to slip right off and mine to widen.
After all the fussing, and Ron trying to sneak food with him onto the train, we finally were ready to leave.
Thankfully we arrived at the station with no mishaps, unlike our second year where the boys flew to Hogwarts. FLEW?! I mean, just imagine how irresponsible that was. And dangerous, let's not forgot dangerous. Secretly I do have to admit that I was quite jealous because I know I could have never  done something like that, not because it broke rules but because i wasn't fond of heights. Then again I was practically over that since i had to fly threastles in our 5th year. Wasn't that a joy? I thought sarcastically.

After waving goodbye to Miss Weasley and George, who had decided to come to see us off, we all made our way onto the train.
It took us about five to ten minutes before we found Neville and Luna in a compartment, who were both sat next to each other almost snuggling. I sighed, they were just so cute. Why can't Ron be like that?

We had been sat around for about ten to fifteen minutes catching up and laughing at each other when there was a knock on the door.
The compartment door slid open and in walked the cutest child.
"Miss Granger, Miss  McGonagall is looking for you in the Headmistress' compartment." the little girl said shyly.
Oh my goodness I can't believe I forgot I had to go see her.
"Thank you for telling me..erm..I'm sorry you didn't say what your name was?" I say to the little girl while standing up to leave.
"No problem, and it's Melony" she replied just as shyly as before.
Aww she was just too cute.
I turn to others, "I'll probably see you guys when we get to Hogwarts" before following Melony.
Walking towards the hallway I let my thoughts drift, wondering what exactly McGonagall wanted me for. If I'm to be honest I'm pretty sure it's because I'm head girl, however I can't be 100% sure since I've not always been the model student throughout my years at Hogwarts. I laughed quietly as I remembered all the time me, Harry and Ron broke the rules. Good times, good times.
"Miss Hermione, this is the head compartment." Melony said break my thought train.
I blushed slightly not used to being called miss with such respect and awe. Plus she was just too cute.
"Oh you don't have to call me miss, just Hermione is fine. And thank you Melony see you around." I replied, before knocking politely on the door.
"Come in, Miss Granger" Professor McGonagall said as she slid the compartment door open. I walked into the compartment before asking "You wanted to see me Professor?"
"Yes I did. I'm sure this is no surprise as it was most likely set in stone the moment you walked through the doors of Hogwarts. But I would like to formally be the first one to congratulate you on making this year's Head Girl." She replies, smiling down at me proudly.
Internally I screamed and jumped up and down like a five year old.
On the outside I was calm and collected. After all head girl was meant to be a role model to others, I couldn't well be seen acting like a child now.
Okay, so maybe that's a lie and I squealed and giggled like a little girl, "Thank you so much for this Miss, I promise not to let you down and be the best Head Girl ever"
"Well I have no doubt of that. Before we go in and I explain the duties and what is expected of you as Head Girl, I must warn you now that there are going to be changes this year whether I like them or not. Also Head Boy is not someone you might be expecting however I expect you to behave with manners and grace" Miss McGonagall warned me before entering.
Oh God this definitely can't be good.
Bracing my self I entered behind Miss McGonagall, only to see no one?
"Erm Miss, won't Head boy be joining us?"
"Oh no Miss Granger no need for that, head boy has already been to see me"
Oh gosh, the suspense was killing me. Who was head boy!? Manner and grace, I reminded myself.
I forced a smile on my face, instead of nearly shouting 'who is head boy?', before asking "I expect he's already gone to the Head's compartment then?"
McGonagall looked back at me with a knowing smile and simply nodded at me.

Ten minutes later and there I was on the way to the Head Boy and Girl's compartment myself. Wish me luck!

Walking into the head compartment, there sleeping on the seats was the last person I thought i would ever see.
"Malfoy?" I almost screeched,  causing him to jump up and as quick as a flash his wand was pointing in my face in a defensive manner. With my eyes wide and mouth open, all I could do was stare at his face in absolute horror.
"Your head boy?"
