Gryffindors and Slytherins Never Mix

*Welcoming Back & Noticing*

DISCLAIMER: I do not own or take credit for any of the characters present in the Harry Potter books. This plot, though using the same names and similar aspects to their personalities is completely using my imagination.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey guys this is my first ever story so please read it and review it. I apologise for any incorret use of grammar and spelling mistakes.


Hermione sat opposite both Ron and Harry and beside Neville and Ginny and other Gryffindor members, in front of her was golden and silver plates with matching utensils, today was their first day back for Sixth year.

As more people came in and sat down talking to their friends.

Hermione shot her attention to the Slytherin table. Normally, Hermione would never look there but for some reason she did. She looked at the old faces she recognized and noted their changes.

Hermione felt a faint tap on her shoulder and she looked at person who did it.

"Mione, everything fine?" Ginny asked worriedly, she looked her trustworthy friend from the beginning they have started the school.

"Yes, everything is perfectly well." Hermione stated.

She looked in front of her and saw Albus Dumbledore walk to light brown stand and owl underneath spread it feathers and the six candles lit; there were numerous amount of parchment paper on the stand. He cleared his throat; students stopped talking and turned their focus to the Headmaster.

"Welcome Wizards and Witches of Hogwarts! Welcome back for another exciting year here, as most of you here are familiar with the rules and this school… I shall welcome the new members that have joined our family. Here they are."

There was over 50 wizards and witches that had entered. They wore the uniform that they wore when they first arrived.

They lined up and one by one they sat on the stool and were then placed 'The sorting hat' on their heads and were told which house they belonged to.

The other houses cheered for the new members joining their house. Most of them got into Slytherin and Ravenclaw. Hermione was shocked along with others as they worked this out.

How strange, I thought.

Now that everyone was told the 'Welcome Back' feast started. With roast chicken placed on the lovely plates. And goblets near each witch and wizard, the new comers almost fell of their seats as they witnessed ghosts appearing out of the walls.

One of the ghosts went over to new member of Hufflepuff and spoke and the little boy let out a scream and ran out of the Great Hall. Of course Professor Dumbledore sent Filch after the little frightened boy.

Hermione, Ron and Harry heard laughter from the Slytherin table. Malfoy, Goyle and Crabbe were chuckling about the little Hufflepuff.

Malfoy noticed the three of them staring and spoke loudly. "That little Hufflepuff should have been housed into Gryffindor; all the wimps are there. He would fit in really well with Weasel and Potter."

Hermione looked at Malfoy in disbelief, of course she expected the witty remarks but this one bugged her.

"Actually Malfoy he should have been placed in Slytherin! All the wimps are there!" She smirked at him. "Wait! He would fit in really well with you as well." She finished.

Draco looked at her and coughed. "At least I am not a Mud blood like someone." All his friends laughed at the insult. Draco smirked at her and then winked. His sleek white-blonde hair covered some off it up.

Hermione made a disgusted face. She wasn't affected by this comment anymore.

Half an hour later, Hermione rose to her feet and told her class mates she was off to unpack. She farewelled her friends and left. Draco noticed Hermione leaving and scanned her appearance up and down. He noticed that her hair wasn't has bushy as last year and she has a petite waist and has long lean legs.

Snap out of Malfoy! It's just disgusting mud blood Granger.

Malfoy reluctantly snapped his eyes away from Hermione and to his friends and tried to get into the conversation they were having about, what they had planned for certain people.

Hermione entered the Gryffindor common room, she looked around the room the fire crackling and causing shadows against the cream coloured walls. The couch was still there in its original place how it has always been. She inhaled the warm, scented air.

"It's good to be finally back!" She muttered. And with that she left to the Girls' dormitory.

As with Draco, he left his unfinished food and stood up, he glared at Ron and Harry and left to the Slytherin common room just like Hermione had and examined it.

"Just like it always has been! Let the school year begin!" He plastered his famous smirk and went to dormitory and laid in the bed with his arms behind his head and soon fell into a slumber.
