"Ahhh!" screamed Hermione.
"Oh men, that stupid Hydrop Awakening Spell! I forgot I should wake before it wakes me!" Hermione's face was already dripping with cold water.
"What a day to start with?" says Hermione while wiping the water off her face.
She immediately took a quick bath in the shower and brushed her enormously huge teeth. She did all of her morning tasks in a hurry thinking she would miss a lot from her morning schedule.
She immediately grabbed her thick leather books, placed it in her brown bag and headed to the door. On her way out, she saw a piece of parchment lying on the floor.
"What's this?" she stooped and picked up the small piece of parchment from the floor. She saw it's got her name on it so she unfolded the paper and read it.
"Hi Hermione! We don't want to wake you up. Thought that spell of yours was so stupid it might just work. By the way, there's going to be some kind of event that's going to happen here at Hogwarts. Everyone needs to go to the great hall at nine to inform us more about it. What do you think it's going to be? Thought you might have an idea. We'll just see downstairs once you're ready. Ron and Harry"
She hurried down the Gryffindor common room and saw her two best friends sitting near the fireplace.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" she asked with a bossy voice.
"We thought you may want to experience being disturbed from sleep by a bucket of ice-cold water!" said Ron with a laugh.
"By the way, aren't we supposed to be going downstairs already?" said Hermione, "We were just waiting for you to get down here. So let's go." said while rising from his seat.
The three decided to go downstairs already to eat and to know more about the said event. They went down from to Gryffindor tower passed the moving staircase and unto the great hall.
As they entered the hall, a blonde-haired, pointed-faced boy followed them. He got everyone's attention and said, "Look at her! She's the worst! Mudbloods like her shouldn't be studying here at Hogwarts!"
"Shut up Malfoy!" shouted Ron and Harry in unison trying to defend Hermione. "I hate you! You're so arrogant and you're brain is smaller than a cockroach!" shouted Hermione with disgust as she quickly hurried to her seat.
A clinging sound filled the spacious hall all of a sudden. Harry realized it was professor McGonagall, again clinging her spoon on the surface of the glass goblet.
"Attention please." she said, "Professor Dumbledore here will announce something."
Then an old man about over a century of age with a long silvery hair and beard stood up and spoke, " Today, I will open an event agreed by me and the teachers to push through in line to our upcoming Halloween celebration. As all of you know, we only have a feast every Halloween so to make a change, we have agreed about this. I call this the Head Clan Hunt. Each student will be paired to another and both will work together to meet and discover their ancestry. Now, Professor Binns will tell you how the pairing will be done."
A ghost teacher coming from the left side of the high table stood. He cleared up his voice, took some kind of crystal balls from his pocket and said, "This crystal balls you see here are called Partner Finders. I invented this when I was younger (and alive!)."
"More of like Fred and George if you ask me."said Ron to rest of the Gryffindors. Professor Binns continued by saying, "Each of you will be given something like this and the balls will immediately pair you up. I have ordered it to pair you up with a student from a different house and opposite gender. The names will immediately appear upon the surface the moment you touch it."
There were remarks of amazement coming from the students except from those coming from Slytherin house because they don't like staying with other house's students.
Professor Flitwick managed to arrange the balls nicely and have them suspended in midair fro a while. Then in unison, he made all of the crystal balls fall slowly on the student's hands.
Ron closed his eyes as his crystal ball slowly falls unto his hands. "I hope it's not from Slytherin" he said to himself as he grabbed it. Then, he slowly opened his hand and saw the name on the ball.
"Millicent Bullstrode! Oh men! This is my dying day! She's so bloody evil!" screamed Ron with horror. "How about you Harry and Hermione? Who's you're partners?" he asked sadly.
"Mine's Cho Chang. How about you Hermione?" asked Harry with a smile of gladness. Hermione looked at Harry in the eye and said, "You won't believe it! Malfoy's my partner! Why him?" asked Hermione as she peeked across the Slytherin table. Malfoy also looked devastated having her as a partner.
Then Dumbledore stood again to give his final remarks. "You can do anything you may as long as it doesn't contradict our rules here at Hogwarts. The event will end until next week so you'll have to work really hard. Good luck you all!"
"And oh! I almost forgot, there's going to be a prize for our winning pair. A trip to Romania and visit the dragons there. And it is graded too." The student gave some whispers of joy and excitement after learning this.
