Hermione's pov:
"Ron, eat slowly. Chew it properly. The chocolates are not going to jump out of the train's window", I told him.
"Sorry Mione, but these are too delicious for words", he said grinning like an idiot. I can't believe, that this idiot of a kid was my boyfriend at some part of life.

"Hermione, congrats by the way. I heard that you became the head girl this year", Harry told after sometime.
"Thanks Harry, I am so happy", I told him smiling.
"Do you know who the head boy is?", Harry asked.
"No idea. I thought it would be you, but knowing that you already have so much on your plate, maybe McGonagall decided to make someone from Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff or another Griffindor about whom I have no clue. But I am a 129.53% sure, that it is not a Slytherin", I said smiling at my lame joke.
"Do you even have to tell that? Of course it won't be a Slytherin", Ginny said, amused.

"Hey Gin, can you please pass me the orange juice? I would like to have a sip.", I asked her. She reached out for the drink and handed me the can. As I was taking a sip of the orange juice, the door to our compartment opened....... and in stepped, Draco Malfoy.
"Granger", he said, just as I was about to swallow the juice, and I choked on it. What an unfortunate timing! I coughed and coughed. My eyes had gone red and teary. Suddenly I felt someone pat my back. I looked up to meet a pair of grey, mesmerising eyes.
He too looked at my eyes. My eyes then flickered to his lips for a second and then back to his eyes. Those eyes were like a mystery that appeared to hold so many emotions. I had by then stopped coughing.
"Get your filthy hands off her, you moron", Ron shouted, breaking the spell that those grey eyes had cast on me.
"I'm sorry. You were coughing and so......", he stuttered, not seeming to get the right words out."How did you even dare to enter our compartment?", Ron said glaring at him. Harry and Ginny were only watching."Trust me, I had no intention of coming here. It was Professor McGonagall who asked me to inform her", he said pointing towards me, "to meet her in the professor's compartment." And with that he left. He simply left, leaving confusion written on all our faces. Ironic much, eh?
"What was that all about?", Harry asked me.
"No idea..... but I guess, I should get going now. God knows what McGonagall wants", I said as I stood up to leave.
"Bye Hermione, and if that Malfoy tries to bother you anywhere on your way, then don't hesitate to punch him square on the jaw", Ron said angrily.
"Sure Ron. you don't have to tell twice", I said before leaving.

Draco's pov:
I started heading straight towards the professor's compartment. The images of her big brown eyes, her soft looking lips, her curly hair that was tamer now........ started doing salsa inside my head. They seemed to draw me in.
I had by now reached the door to the compartment. I thought of waiting for Granger so that we could get in together. After a while, I heard footsteps and she appeared. It was Granger. She looked up and our eyes met.
"Hey", she said.
"Hi", I too greeted.
Then neither of us spoke. It seemed as though she struggled to search for some words to speak. My condition was the same.

Hermione's pov:
When I reached the door to the professor's compartment, I saw Malfoy standing near the door.
"Hey", I said.
"Hi", he said meekly.
And then both of us stood there staring at each other, struggling to find some words to speak. Then I decided to break the silence by asking him about, what I had been thinking while coming here.
"Malfoy, are you the head boy?", I asked.
"Yes, I am", he replied.
What the actual fucking hell! Malfoy was the head boy? My head did a somersault.
Malfoy being the head boy made it very clear, that it was either my brain malfunctioning due to not eating nuts, or it was McGonagall who had gone nuts!!!
