Broken But Beautiful~Dramione

Chapter five

Hermione stopped for a brief moment before walking into the Head boy and girl's train car. She hadn't taken a moment to so much as acknowledge Malfoy, and she had no idea what she would say to him. But there was nowhere else for her to rest as the whole train was occupied. She took a deep breath and opened the door.

To her surprise, she opened the door to find a large group gathered in a circle.

"Everybody, this is Hermione Granger. The Head girl for this year." Tonks grinned.

"Nice to meet you all!" Hermione felt a bit of heat rush to her cheeks in embarrassment. Did she miss a letter telling her of this meeting?

Of course Draco was already there, reclining comfortably in a chair.

"This is the security staff for this year, and Blake Humfrey, the Hogwarts Headmaster." Tonks informed.

"Hello Professor-?" Hermione wondered what to call him.

"Please just call me Humfrey." Humfrey held out a hand and Hermione shook it in a rather hurried manner. He was a well built man unlike the one they used to have. His hair was rough looking and curly, and came down to just below his shoulders.

Everyone introduced themselves and Hermione made a mental note to try and talk with each of them at the castle to better know their names.

"I'm sure Tonks here has told you that we're hosting the triwizard tournament this year. You can meet the other headmasters later at the staff table. I think you already know Madam Maxime?"  Humfrey raised an eyebrow.

The two nodded. It wasn't easy to forget the massive giantess from their fourth year.

"Both of you will be sitting at the front beside the headmasters. There will be much for us to discuss throughout the year. I must be off for last minute preparations. I'll see you all soon." Humfrey finished quickly. He waved goodbye, and disapparated with a popping sound.

"What?" Hermione blinked a few times quickly as she tried to process what she had been told.

"You'll understand once we get to the castle. The rest of the security will leave now to go do one last sweep of the castle before moving to their stations. Humfrey can be a little...let's just say energetic. If you two can occasionally help out the prefects in the beginning of the ride that would be great! The rest of us will go to Hogwarts and also help prepare now." Tonks dismissed the security and disapparated right after them.

Hermione glared daggers at Malfoy who coolly met her gaze with his stormy grey eyes, daring her to say something.

"Just go through Hogwarts a few times. I'll do Beauxbatons and Durmstrang." Hermione instructed.

"Why do you get to decide?" Draco sneered.

"Oh shut up and just do it."

"As you wish mud - Granger." Draco said and his voice dropped with resentment. He got up swiftly and made sure to slightly shoulder her on his way out.

Hermione flinched at the touch, and stayed back in the train car for a moment to recenter herself. Afraid that she would start slipping into thoughts that would endlessly spiral as she realized the gravity of the upcoming year, she quickly walked out and occupied her mind with tasks.

She walked up and down the different train cars to make sure everybody was settled and comfortable. Beauxbatons was all set, which left Durmstrang. The girls and guys of both Durmstrang and Beauxbatons had been seated on different sides of the train to prevent...certain things from happening.

"Hermione Granger?" A large guy who seemed to be in his seventh year approached her. His muscles showed through his tight shirt, and he used a hand to sweep his light brown hair to the side of his face.
