*Edited*

I took in the smell of the thick smoke and studied my surroundings realising this is my last year.

"(Y/NNNNNNN)!!" I turned around and was greeted by Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Harry waving at me.

"Hey guys good to see you again" I smiled, walking to them but I accidentally bumped into someone.

"Sorry I wasn't watching where I was going" I said while looking up to see a flash of blonde.

"Whatever mudblood" and with that he left and boarded the train.

I just shrugged it off and walked to my friends.

We all sat on the train together and talked about anything and everything, Mione asked me what I wanted to do when I left school.

I actually want to be an Auror, it would be a fascinating job and after the war I felt extra inspired.

I was enjoying my time, laughing and joking with everyone when Neville came to the compartment door

"Hey (y/n) how have you been?" He smiled brightly.

I returned the smile and said "I've been good thanks"

"Well that's good. Anyway, McGonagall wishes to see you in her office when you arrive" he informed.

"Wow we haven't even arrived at school and your already in trouble" Ron commented, causing us all to laugh.

"Thank you Neville. Oh and congrats on you and Luna, I'm happy for you both. Tell her I said hi" he just smiled, nodded, then walked out.

I wonder what McGonagall wants with me.

Timeskip

I was standing at the entrance to the McGonagall's office, really nervous. I whispered the password, Lemon Drop, and the staircase appeared.

I was about to knock when the door opened on its own, leaving my closed fist in mid air.

McGonagall laughed and motioned for me to take a seat, so I did.

"Hello Headmistress, how have you been?" I smiled.

McGonagall and I were always very close, she was like a 2nd mother to me.

"Please dear call me Minerva. I've been good (y/n). How about you? I heard what you did to your parents, I'm so sorry for your loss, I'm here for you wen you need me" she smiled as she offered me a lemon drop, one of Dumbledore's favourite muggle candy. I smiled at his memory and took one.

We talked for about 10 minutes when the door opened once more.

I turned around to see a familiar blonde, I turned back to Minerva, really confused.

"Ah Mr. Malfoy thank you for going me. Take a seat dear" She motioned to the seat next to me.

I awkwardly sat a little slung over playing with my fingers in my lap. She offered him a lemon drop but he declined.

"Now I'm sure your both wondering why your here. Yes. Well you see, I've decided to make you Head Boy and Head Girl" she smiled once more.

why me?

"With all do respect Headmistress. I don't think that I would be a good candidate for Head Boy because of my..... past" I looked at Malfoy as his eyes filled with sadness.

I did feel bad for him because of everything he was going through.

"I have to disagree Mr. Malfoy I know you are the best candidate. Besides your excellent grades and past prefect position you have excellent drive and motivation, you can be firm when need be, you are kind and loyal, though you may not show it, i know it's there. So, you are the perfect person for this position" Minerva smiled at him and he just looked shocked that she thought that of him.
