Chapter Two Intertwining of colors
Disclaimer: I obviously don't own.
"We're here."
Ron said poking Hermione who in turn rolled her eyes at him.
"Thank
you for being so observant Ronald." She said standing up and
gathering her things. Ron stuck his tongue out and pouted. Ginny and
Harry laughed.
"I'm surprised their not married yet." Ginny
whispered before kissing him on the cheek. Harry mumbled a 'yeah'
before leading the way off the train. Ron and Hermione followed
"And may I introduce our new Heads of House. Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy please stand." Hermione stood and smiled at everyone, whilst Draco just glared.
"And
this is your Common Room that the two of you will be sharing."
Dumbledore said smiling at the pair as they stood outside two statues
of Phoenixes guarding a stone wall.
"Fickle Dimples."
Dumbledore said. The Phoenixes changed color before returning to
their natural color. Dumbledore walked through the wall. Hermione
raised an eyebrow and expected Malfoy to hold the same expression but
instead his face was set as he walked through the wall. Hermione
stared, dumbfounded.
"Coming?" Dumbledore asked as he stuck
his head out. Hermione nodded and walked through the wall. It was
just like Platform 9 ¾.
Hermione smiled as she looked around
the Common room. Green, silver, gold, and scarlet intertwined with
each other all around her. It looked amazing in her opinion, but
Draco's face showed that he felt the opposite.
The room was
almost exactly like the Gryffindor Common room but oddly bigger.
There were soft looking red couches and green claw footed chairs in
front of the fireplace and a couple oak tables scattered around the
room. On the walls were large Gryffindor and Slytherin banners along
with large moving pictures.
"You both have your own rooms with
a jointing bathroom. All your belongings are already in your room."
Dumbledore said smiling that the two of them. They said their thank
yous; Draco's a little less meaningful.
"I'll be taking my
leave now, be nice and try not to kill each other." He said, his
eyes twinkling as he turned to leave.
"Have a good night." He
said giving them a backwards wave before exiting their common room.
"Well, I'm off to bed." Hermione said as she turned to go to
her room. She was expecting a crude remark or something, but to her
utter amazement there was nothing.
She glanced at Draco and saw
that he was looking straight ahead of him at a banner of Green and
silver intertwined with Gold and Scarlet.
"Good night Granger."
He said before he gracefully turned and walked up the stairs to the
left and entered his room.
Hermione stood there completely lost
for words. What in the blazes just happened?
She shook her head
and collected herself before she walked to her room. Dumbledore was
right; her stuff was already here and neatly put away as always. She
was thankful for that.
She quickly changed before climbing into
bed and falling asleep.
