„And lastly the unicorn hair", Hermione said placing the little jar onto the table next to all the other ingredients.

Both of them were standing still and waiting for Dumbledores words. Three days had passed and the managed to get all of the ingredients. After the trip to the forbidden forest Hermione and Draco even managed to not fight again.

Whenever they would see eachother they would just ignore the other's presence, which wasn't possible the years before. It was always one of them making disgusted noises or saying something. But now both had to admit that it was much easier to not get into a fight when they were pretending that the other person didn't even exist. Both of them were able to do their tasks without having any conflicts.

„So you both did manage to prove of being capable enough for this job", Dumbledore said and smiled at them.

Hermione replied with a little smile.

„I'm very happy that I don't have to choose a new Headgirl and Headboy. Both of you are the best students of our school and I have faith in both of you, that you'll make it to a huge position in the future. You may leave now and please don't forget to prepare the yule ball which is soon. As the heads of our school it's your job to make the ball unforgettable", Dumbledore said.

Both of them nodded before leaving the room. Everyone was still sleeping so the halls were quite and empty. Draco was lost in his thoughts while Hermione felt like she should say something but didn't know what.

When they arrived at their dorm she held the door open for Draco and he looked up quite surprised. She just smiled and entered the dorm after him.

She then went to her room to get ready. Ron invited her to a date in Hogsmeade and she couldn't let that slide. Since she had become the Headgirl she barely had time for her boyfriend. And she felt pretty bad for that.

On the other side Ron wasn't as talkative like he used to be. They barely saw eachother but whenever they did he always asked about Malfoy and never about her.

Hermione curled her hair a bit and decided to wear a pair of jeans and a tshirt which she tucked into her jeans. It was already autumn but the weather was surprisingly well.

It was neither hot nor cold, it was a perfect mix of both.
Hermione applied a little bit of lipstick and mascara. She barely used it in Hogwarts but she still brought some with her in cases like those.

Ron always complimented her how pretty she looked with makeup. Hermione smiled while being lost in the memories. She put on some shoes before she left her room.

Draco was sitting in the living room doing his schoolwork when he raised his head to look at her. She didn't say a word and Malfoy looked surprised. He noticed that she looked different.

Her lips were darker than usually and her lashes were thicker than normally.
„I'm leaving", Hermione said and left the dorm. Draco looked after her before he focused on his work again.

Hermione hurried to Hogsmeade and saw Ron already sitting on a table. She went to him and sat down in front of him.
„Hello", she said and smiled genuinely.

Ron, who was focused on some book, raised his head and smiled at her before putting away his book.
„You're pretty late", he said.

„I know, I had to visit Dumbledore before I could get ready", she replied and looked at him with a guilty face.

„Ah right, so you went to the forbidden forest with Malfoy then?", he asked.

„Yeah I did", she answered.

„And? How was it? Did you guys found what you were searching for?"

„Yes we did. The unicorn was so magical Ron, you wouldn't believe it!", she said excitedly.

He smiled.
„I bet it was. Apropos Malfoy, did you find anything new out about him? Anything suspicious?"

Hermiones smile faded away. He was doing it again. Instead of asking how she were he was just interested in Draco. She knew how much he wanted to have something against him.

He hated him. They all did. But Ron, he hated Draco more than her or Harry. And since she became a headgirl he wanted her to be like some spy to find something about him.

Even Harry wasn't that obsessed with Draco as Ron was. And it was getting annoying. Hermiones good mood turned into a bad mood. The excitement to finally meet her boyfriend and do something with him left and she felt annoyed by him.

„No, I didn't", she replied.

Ron sighed.
„Listen, you have to find something. So we can use it against him and the-"

„Why are you so obsessed with him?", Hermione asked and grabbed the side of her chair so she wouldn't freak out.

Ron looked surprised by her sudden interruption.
„Obsessed? I'm not obsessed, I just want to expose him."

„And why would you want to do that?", she asked.

„Because he's our enemy Hermione! He has been treating us bad the past years and now we can take revenge", Ron explained.

„You're not wrong Ron, he has been treating us wrong. But still, I have to spent a year with him. I decided to treat him like a normal boy and forget about-"

„You want to forgive him?!", Ron was furious.

„That's not what I said!", Hermione replied.

„Of course! That's exactly what you said!", Ron said.

Hermione gnashed her teeth. She didn't want to fight with him, but this was exactly what was happening.

„Ron listen, that's not even close to what I said. I just said that I want to forget about the things for now. Forget not forgive. It's better for him and for me", she tried to explain but she knew Ron wasn't listening.

„I didn't expect that from you. I thought you would take some revenge or something", Ron said.

Hermione sighed before she stood up.
„Where are you going?" Ron asked.

„Don't talk to me until you can't stop being obsessed with Malfoy", she answered and walked out.

„What? Are you mad now just because I said I want revenge?!", Ron followed her.
She tried to ignore him.

„Can it be that you developed feeling for him and don't want me anymore?", Ron asked out of the sudden.

The accusation hit hard and Hermione shockedly turned around to him. He was looking at her and didn't seem to regret his words.

Hermiones eyes filled with tears.
„Is that really what you think?", she asked, trying not to start crying.

„Yes, because that's how you act", he answered.

„Fine then", her voice was close to be a whispering. But he got her words. Hermione finally turned around and left him alone there. Even though she was trying hard to not start crying before reaching her room she couldn't stop few tears leaving her eyes.
