After a long and delicious meal, the three-year-olds started to drop off to sleep, one by one. Suddenly, as quickly as the food appeared, it disappeared. Dumbledore stood up, and held up a hand to quiet everyone down. Everyone complied very quickly.
"Now, I am sure we have all enjoyed that delicious meal. I would like the seventh years to lead everyone back to your proper dormitories, and eighth years, to your rooms!" He said with a huge grin on his face.
"Wonder what's making him smile like that- not another surprise do you think?" Ron muttered with a groan, as he picked up a sleeping Blaise. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"He's ALWAYS smiling like that Ronald! - he's DUMBLEDORE for Merlin's sake!" She ground out through gritted teeth. She picked up sleeping Draco, and Harry helped by grabbing Draco's shoes, which had somehow come off.
"Harry, do you think, we'll be able to change his views on muggleborns easily?" Hermione fretted, her brow furrowed.
"I dunno. I hope." Harry answered. The rest of the way back to their dormitory was silent, except for the slight snoring of Draco. When they got to the portrait of the mermaid, Harry muttered "Gratia" and they entered. Harry dropped down onto the couch with a loud THUMP.
"So- tired- and full." Harry murmured into one of the pillows. Hermione smiled and slowly climbed up the stairs, into Draco's room, and placed him on the bed.
"Goodnight, Draco." She murmured as she tucked him in. Looking around to make sure they were alone, she placed a gentle kiss on his forehead. She turned the lights off, closed the door halfway, and silently descended the stairs. Hermione smirked when she saw that Harry was asleep on the couch.
She walked over to him, grabbed a pillow, and threw it forcefully at him. Harry shrieked and fell off the couch.
"Ow. What was that for Mione! I'm tired, unlike you."
"Oops, sorry, just making sure you don't freeze down here on the couch, instead of resting peacefully in your nice, warm, bed…" Hermione said.
"Ugh. Of course. Thanks, good night Mione." Harry murmered and climbed his stairs, Hermione soon following. When Harry reached his room, brushed his teeth, changed, and climbed into bed.
I wonder what's going to happen tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be a relatively normal day. He thought, before drifting off to sleep. Boy was he wrong.
