Hermione walked through the large double doors that lead to the entrance hall of hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. She carried her bags to the other side of the hall by the steps so they could carried up for the students. Students of all ages from every house were filling into the hall like water as she looked for her friends.

'Well I know they must be here somewhere...their stuff is here so why aren't they? 'she thought.

She walked into the Great Hall and scanned the Gryffindor table for her friends. She found Ginny Weasley, Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas, but no Ron Weasley or Harry Potter.

"Hello, Hermione!" ginny said as she approached the table. Hermione sat down next to her.

"Hello,Ginny. Have you by any chance seen your brother, ron ,or harry?" she asked.

"Hey, Hermione!"

Before Ginny could answer someone had called Hermione's name. She turned around to see Ron and Harry running towards her.

"Ron? Harry? Where were you?!" she asked in a very good impression of Molly Weasley.

"Sorry. We had to help Hagrid with one of his 'pets' for the 3rd years." Ron said.

"Poor children." He added as an after thought. They all took their seats as Albus Dumbledore stood up to say his regular start of term speech.

"Welcome students to your first ,or another, year at Hogwarts! Before we feast on the delicous meal the house elves have prepared, I have a few things to mention: To those who have heard this before let your minds wander freely. The Forbidden Forest is off limits to any student unless they are given any specific reason by a teacher. Any Zonko's products and Weasley's Wizard Weezes will be confiscated by our caretaker, Argus Filch, and magic is not allowed within the hall.

"On another note, I have some good news for you young ladies," The girls in the hall suddenly perked up.

"This year Hogwarts has been selected to participate in the annual Miss Magic Pageant!" he hall erupted in whispers and talk from the girls.

"Does that mean girls in bikinis?" ron asked. Hermione shot him death glare.

"If you would like to enter the compitition, simply sign your name on a piece of parchment and enter it in this here couldron." he made a hand motion towards the pot behind the teaches table

"And also, due to maturity level, only 6th years and up are allowed." shouts came from the girls under 6th year.

Thats not fair!!" ginny yelled.

"QUIET!!" Dumbledore yelled. The hall came to a dead silence.

"That is the rule and I cannot do anything about it. Now we feast!"

The food magically appeared on the tables as talk slowly came to a normal level.

"Food!" Ron said grabbing a turkey leg.

"I can't believe this! A beauty pageant is degrading to woman! How can dumbledore allow this?" Hermione exclaimed.

"So are you going to enter?" Ron asked her. Hermione just sat there and glared at him again.

"Come on, Hermione, its not degrading! Its just for fun." Harry said.

"Well, of course you'd say that! You're a boy!"

as soon as everyone ate their food they hurried off to bed. As the trio left the great hall ron said,"I hope they do a bikini show."

"Ron, don't say that!" Hermione scolded.

"Merlin, I hope not, because if that is entering I might puke."

The three turned around to see Draco Malfoy,Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle and Pansy Parkinson.

"Malfoy," Harry said, slipping his hand in his pocket to grab the handle on his wand.

"Please,Mudblood, do us all a favor and don't enter. Even if you do, you wont get chosen to represent Hogwarts. You're just not pretty enough. Come to think of it, you're not pretty at all!"

Malfoy and his gang gave a laugh and walked towards the dungeons.

"You want me to kick his arse for you?" Harry asked.

"No. I can't let him get to me."

"But-?"

"No!" she said. With that she stalked off to the Gryffindor tower, fallowed by Ron and Harry.

Meanwhile, draco Malfoy had just thought of the most brilliant idea he ever had.

"Hey Crabbe,Goyle, Pansy I gotta tell you something..."
