How it should have ended

1. We wanted to check on you, that you didn't kill eachother

Hermione's POV

I walked towards the head-compartment. Neville just told me that McGonagall was looking for me and he had warned me that no one other than Draco Malfoy was the head boy. He had been really surprised that Malfoy could make it to head boy but I wasn't. He always had been second of class. The Ravenclaws had hated him almost as hard as they hated me for being head of class. I bumped into someone and looked up, back on earth.

"Oh, Zabini." I nodded towards him and his face lit up.

"Granger, just the girl I was looking for." I frowned. Zabini was Malfoys best friend and a pureblood Slytherin, he always had been civil when we worked together with school projects but him looking for me when we hadn't had homework yet was pretty curious.

"Why were you looking for me Zabini?" I asked still frowning.

"Look, Granger I know you and Draco never have been friends and that he was pretty cruel to you but in sixth year, he..."

"He didn't have a choice. Sometimes you have to do something for your family that destroy you." I interrupted him. "I know." I looked out of the window. I knew exactly what Malfoy had been going through when I obliviated my parents. I tried to hold back the feelings of sadness when I looked back at the boy.

"How, that were the exact same words Draco used to describe his actions to me. How?" Now it was his turn to frown and he looked deliberately at me.

"Just coincidence, I guess." I mumbled.

"There is no such thing as..." his look went to something behind me and I turned around slowly to see Theodore Nott with a girl, I think was in Slytherin.

"Theo, are you out of your mind?! If Draco sees you and Astoria you're death!" Zabini groaned furious. Using the distraction I went asap to the head-comportment before Zabini would remember he had some unanswered questions. I entered the room and saw Malfoy sitting at the window. He was still pale but he looked healthier than in sixth year. His blond her wasn't either so severe as it had been before. It was hanging loose in his face while he looked out of the window and wow, his abs had really improved. When I noticed I was staring at Malfoy I quickly entered the room and tried to think about something else.

"Ah, miss Granger." The headmistress smiled at me and motioned to sit down. McGonagall smiling wasn't something you saw often and I frowned. Maybe everyone had changed after the war. Malfoy looked at me when the headmistress called my name and he nodded. I nodded back and sat down next to him. "As the two of you know you are the heads this year. You get an own commonroom and bathroom and a lot of extra duties. That's why I wish the two of you will be civil to each other. But I don't think that will be a problem." She looked at us as if she knew something we didn't knew she knew and smiled again. I shuffled a bit on my chair and looked at the ground while she explained everything of our duties. Before she left she informed us of the perfects.

Neville and Ginny for Gryffindor (Harry had made it quidditch-captain again and McGonagall didn't want him to have a busy year and she thought Ron could use a quiet year to. Although Ron wasn't very happy with not being a perfect anymore, Luna and Dave Gravewood for Ravenclaw. I didn't know Dave that well, he always had been a year lower then me and it wasn't till this year we would have classes together. For Hufflepuff we had Hannah abbot and Justin Fletch. At least we had Blaise Zabini and Astoria Greengrass for Slytherin. I wondered if this was the girl Nott had been hanging around and I frowned. Why would Malfoy kill Nott if he knew about them? Did he have a crush on Greengrass. My hearth ached for a moment.

"Something wrong Granger?" His voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I looked up right into his silver grey eyes. After the headmistress left I had sit down in front of him.
