Chapter Two: Beautifully Lit
Everybody was amazed at how big of a change had happen to Hermione, and Ginny was exceptionally glad. Compliments were being thrown her way non-stop, especially from the boys.
It feels so good to be back. Hermione thought while refilling a raspberry pie on her plate at the Welcoming Ceremony in the Great Hall. She caught Seamus Finnigan staring at her a few times, and to her surprise… Draco Malfoy.
After the feast, everyone returned to their own dorm and Hermione, of course, to her new Head's dorm. She stopped short in front of a beautiful painting of some kind of Greek Goddess and muttered the password as it swung open nonchalantly.
Hermione was amazed.
The common room had a beautifully lit fireplace with three large and comfortable couches surrounding it. Between the couches there were a two tiny round coffee tables.
On the right side of the room was a mysterious but exquisite doorway in which Hermione reminded herself to check-out later.
Towards the left of the room was a small kitchen with all the equipments to make a simple dinner (Even though she didn't see what's the point of that when the house elves could just bring it up). There was a small dining table with two black stools on each side of it. A little ahead of her were two doors, both a mahogany brown color. One had "Granger" engraved upon it, and the other, "Zabini."
She opened the door to her room and found a king size bed covered in white silk sheets beautifully lying in the middle of the room. Next to it was a table for makeup and hairdo uses. On the other side of the room, was a walk in closet with all her clothes already hung up and of course, a big working table with her books and school supplies neatly placed on it.
"Wow…" she whispered to herself in awe.
There was a door to the left of her room which she undoubtedly knew was the bathroom that she most likely has to share with Blaise.
This is amazing. She thought. The bathtub could probably fit a queen size bed. The bathtub had several faucets placed on different sides of the tub and a shower cubicle right next to it.
Hermione changed into a pair of short shorts and a black tanktop. She then proceeded to throw herself on to the bed with a huge smile on her face.
Suddenly, she realized that she never checked the where the other door in the common room led to. Excitedly, she ran out and opened the door to find a marble staircase. As she ran up this staircase she realized that it was a balcony. She pushed open the set of glass door located at the top of the stair case and felt the fresh cool breeze wash over her face. From here, she could clearly see the lake, the Quidditch field, and pretty much the rest of Hogwarts.
Just as she was enjoying this scenery, a drawling voice came from behind…
"Enjoying the head's room Granger?"
She turned and found Zabini leaning against the door.
Blaise was surprised at how captivating Hermione looked with her hair tied up in a messy bun and a simple a pair of shorts and tanktop.
"Uh huh, and why, may I ask are you here?" Hermione replied trying to keep her cool. She was unsure of how to a act around him as she found herself to be slightly restless and jumpy.
"Don't get your hopes up, we have to go patrol the halls." He trailed off coolly.
"Oh… right." Hermione replied, averting his eyes and quickly walking past Blaise.
Hermione Granger... Blaise smirked as Hermione paced down the staircase, this will be an interesting year.
They patrolled the halls in different directions and as soon as they had finished, Hermione went to bed.
