Ooooooooh! My very first fanfic! Aren't you excited?! Hermione and Draco forever!
" Harry!! Can I borrow Hedwig?" called Hermione from the foot of the stairs to the boys' dormitory.
Harry came dashing down the stairs with Ron close after him.
"Sure, Mione." said Harry.
"Hey, Mione? Why don't you ever ask to borrow my owl?" whined Ron.
Harry and Hermione tried their best to hold down fits of laughter. Ron twisted up his face and his ears turned redder than his hair.
"Sorry, Ron, maybe next time."
"Really?"
"We'll see."
Hermione gave her letter to Hedwig and opened the window. The beautiful snowy owl took of in a powerful and graceful flight.
"I'm starving, guys!" said Harry.
"Oh yeah, me too!" exclaimed Ron.
Hermione shook her head. The boys were always hungry. "Shoot! We're late to dinner!"
"AGAIN?!" the boys echoed.
They entered the Great Hall just as Dumbledore was preparing to start the meal.
"How exceptionally nice it is of you to join us." sneered Snape." Perhaps we should assign you three detentions?" Harry's eyes filled with hatred. Ron's jaw dropped. Hermione's face fell. Several Slytherins smirked at each other.
"That is quite unnecessary, Severus," said Dumbledore, "Mr. Potter, Ms. Granger, Mr. Weasley, please take your seats. With a few words I'd like to begin. Fixxeldum, fennium, ferrilium."
With that food appeared on the table in mountains. Only a few adventurous souls knew how it got there from past years. Roast beef, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and casserole was soon piled on everyone's plates. The Gryffindor Three were grateful to Dumbledore for his save. After eating the students were all very tired and filed up to their dormitories.
With the exception of one. A Slytherin. The truest Slytherin in the house. He had other things to do. Instead of taking the staircase to the left, he climbed the one to the right. The one that led to Gryffindor Common Room. The place no one expected him to show in. He knew this all too well. But he had only one thing on his mind. He was going to get it.
