Hermione walked to the castle from Hagrid's hut. The war had ended months ago and everyone had returned to Hogwarts for their "eighth year." The castle had been completely repaired and Professor McGonagall had become Headmistress.
She stopped at the portrait of Sebastian McWizzling. McGonagall had decided that all eighth years would share a common room because there were so few of them.
Hermione said the password and stepped into the common room. Harry and Ron were playing chess in the corner with Pansy watching them, Draco and Blaise were talking and Neville was reading.
McGonagall encouraged friendship between houses, so Hermione sat down next to Pansy to do her schoolwork. Every now and then there would be an exclamation form Harry or Ron, but besides that it was relatively quiet.
Finally it was time for dinner and Hermione packed up her bag. She followed the others to the Gryffindor table and sat down next to Ginny to eat.
"What should we do this weekend? There's no Hogsmeade." Harry said.
"Maybe we could. . . "Ginny trailed off, not sure how to finish that sentence.
"Let's talk about it in the common room." Hermione suggested. They finished eating in silence, then they followed Harry back to the common room.
"Okay, what should we do?" Ron asked.
"Well, we could play a game." Hermione suggested.
"Truth or dare!" Ginny immediately said. Everyone but Hermione nodded their agreement to this.
"I don't know, guys," she said. "Nothing good ever happens when we play truth or dare."
"Come on, Granger, playing won't kill you." Draco said. Hermione sighed and nodded.
"Fine. But if something bad happens, I'm holding you responsible, Draco. "She said. Draco chuckled.
"Fine."
