Hermione granger sat in her favorite chair beside the fire in the Gryffindor common room. She was reading a large portion of her charms book for something to do, when the portrait hole sung open and Harry and Ron walked in. Hermione acted as if she were still alone, as she didn't wish to see either of them right now. She still couldn't believe that Ron had ditched her for lavender and that Harry supported Ron over her. Both boys sat in chairs across from her and watched her until she couldn't stand it any longer, "WHAT IS IT!?" she hadn't meant to shout, but they weren't going along with the whole, 'leave Hermione alone right now' plan. She waited a few moments for a reply, and when she didn't get one she got up and headed for the portrait hole. 'Stupid gits' is what ran threw her mind as she headed toward the heads common room. Once she got there she wasn't surprised to see malfoy and pansy Parkinson sitting on sofa in the middle of one of their make-out sessions. She sighed loudly and slammed her bedroom door shut behind her.
Draco jumped when he heard granger slam her door shut. 'Wow, she must be pissed off still. Stupid wonder gits.' He thought as he stared another moment at her bedroom door before pushing pansy away from him and standing up. Pansy looked up at him confused, "what is it drakey?" she stood up too and started towards him. He back away and said," goodnight pansy." She looked upset now and without another word she stormed out of the room. Draco ran his hand through his blonde hair and sat back down on the sofa. When he was on his way to his room, there was a knock at the door. He sighed and shook his head, 'pansy.' He headed back to the door and opened it to see potthead and weasel standing there. He smirked his trademark smirk and said, "Well, look what the cat dragged in, Potthead and weaslebe!" they glared at him and then potter said," Where's Hermione?" at this, malfoy's smirk got even wider, "not that its your business potter, but she's in her room."
the next morning at breakfast,harry and ron decided it best to be seen and not heard from.hermione ate her breakfast silently and then headed out the doors of the great hall.she,malfoy,and the prefects had a meeting in dumbledor's office this morning before their first classes.once she got to the stone gargoyle,she muttered the password," lemon squeez" and got on the revolving stairs as the gargoyle stepped aside.when she got to the top of the staircase,hermione saw that the door was standing open.she knocked and went in when she heard dumbledore say,"enter"
hermione stepped into the office to see that everyone else was there,as she walked towards the last seat available,the door shut with a slight 'thud'.dumbledore stood and said in a very cherry voice,"i've decided to have a christmas ball!"
