(COMPLETE) Dramione -The seventh year at Hogwarts

Going back

At the burrow, Molly (Mrs) Weasley comes in to Hermione and Ron having another argument.

 "Will you two please stop fighting!" she says as she hands them the envelopes, "Harry, Ginny, hurry there are letters waiting for you!"

"Oh I'd know these letters anywhere, look they are from Hogwarts!" exclaims heroine as she mindlessly rips into hers.

"Do you think that this means the school is fixed?" Ron asks.

"Well why else would they send a letter you dimwit." she says whilst rolling her eyes.

"You never know it could be that the school is shutting down forever." he replies sharply back as Harry and Ginny come down the stairs.

"Only YOU would come up with that idea Ronald, there is no way ever that they would shut down Hogwarts permanently." Hermione says as she starts reading.

"Dear Ginny, as the head professor at Hogwarts I am pleased to inform you that the school has been rebuilt and we are now ready to continue teaching. we would also like to inform you that sixth years have been paired with the seventh years because of the time gap in which it has taken to rebuild the school, this also means that two new years will join the school. As one of these years has missed out on a whole year of learning, they will have an eighth year. We will also be choosing a head boy and head girl to represent the school. These two students will share a common room which will be separate to their current common room.

Your school year will start on September the 5th good luck to all,

yours faithfully,

Professor McGonagall." Ginny smiles at Harry who is still looking at his letter even though the only thing that is different on them is their names.

"I really hope that they pick me as head girl!" beams Hermione.

"Yeah you always have, and this is why we broke up, you are too up yourself sometimes you know that." Ron remarks.

"Oh well, sorry that you don't always understand the smartest witch of her age." says Hermione slightly smirking.

"I hope you get head girl anyway, no matter what happens this year, we will always be friends anyway, you know that." smiles Harry, whilst slightly glaring at Ron.

"I'm just glad that I agreed with Hermione when she said that we were more like brother and sister." says Ron a bit more uplifted now.

"Ok well that I can't complain about." Hermione says as she looks at Ron with a slight smile.

"Well that's probably the ONLY thing you two have agreed on since it happened. Now off to bed the lot of you, we will need to go to Diagon Alley for new robes and books." Molly chirps as they all trail off up the stairs.

A week has passed and it is time to go back to Hogwarts.

"Come on! We will be late otherwise, this happens every year and yet you all still don't learn the importance of punctuality!" Mrs Weasley loudly exclaims whilst rushing along to platform 9 3/4.

"I'll go first" says Ginny taking a sharp intake of breath.

"now remember at the end of term, your father and I will be here to pick you up and if you are planning on staying over the holiday, PLEASE remember to let us know!" Molly cries after them as one by one they enter the platform.

"Hey Ron, look it's Neville and Luna!" Harry and Hermione both say excitedly.

"And behind them lower behold, Malfoy." he retorts.

"Well we will be able to avoid him as much as possible anyway. I hope." Harry mentions.

They board the train and find a carriage.

When they get to the main hall, they are told to sit down at their house tables and await the sorting ceremony. The first and second years come in through the doors and are sorted into their houses.

"Now before we begin the feast. I would like to announce the Head girl and Head boy for this year." professor McGonagall says excitedly. Hermione and Ginny look at each other. Hermione smiles and mouths to Harry and Ron 'fingers crossed'!!!

"The new head girl is......... Miss Hermione Granger." a roar of applause erupts from the hall as Hermione quietly rejoices.

"Settle down, settle down." the hall slowly becomes silent again.

"The new head boy for this year is.......... Mr Draco Malfoy." there is still a large applause but not anywhere near as enthusiastic as before, this applause is followed by a low mumble of whispers from the sixth and seventh years.

"No!" Hermione whispers as she is completely confused and disappointed. Draco glares over at the gryffindor table, this is going to be the most awkward year I have ever had, how am I going to hide it from her for that long? what are you thinking! you're the famous Draco Malfoy, she won't even talk to you. it will be easy. He thinks.

"Good luck Draco!" says pansy laughing.

"Now we will begin the feast. will the new head boy and head girl come to me after before they go to their common room." she walks away from the podium and sits down as the feast begins.

"I can't believe that I have to share a common room with Malfoy." complains Hermione.

"You will be fine, he wont even talk to you!" Ginny explains looking slightly worried for her best friend. Hermione looks at her for a minute but then breaks eye contact.

"Yeah, you're right." she slumps over her food. Deciphering whether to eat or not, but then decides on eating because she hasn't had food since this morning. 

After the feast, both Draco and Hermione walk up to professor McGonagall from both sides of the great hall.

"Now... you will both have your own bedroom, on either side of the common room. You will have a kitchen too. You will both be attending meetings every fortnight. Now I know that you two have issues but you will have to put them aside. You are going to have to work together." she looks at both of them as they look at each other and back at her.

"Professor I-"

"Hermione I am not asking you to be friends, I am just asking you to put up with each other, and I cannot help the fact that you two specifically were chosen. It was the sorting hat's choice not mine and once that choice is made, we cannot change it, Dumbledore made that rule himself!" McGonagall straightens herself out.

"Now it is about time you two were shown your dormitories, it's late, follow me." she walks between the both of them who are slightly astounded, the turn around and follow her giving each other evil glances on the way.

They get to the door and McGonagall turns around and says.

"Now your password will be 'mirror of erised' until you can both decide on one." Hermione looks at Draco who has also realised that erised is desire backwards, and he looks back. She looks down at her feet.

"Off you go, you will start classes tomorrow so straight to your bedrooms and explore after lessons tomorrow." she leaves as both of them as they move towards the painting.

"Well go on then Granger." Draco scowls as he folds his arms and smirks a little.

"Mirror of erised" she says more confidently than she would liked to have said it. The painting opens and they go in and without saying a word, the go to bed and sleep.
