Sorry, it has been a while since I updated last. But I'm back and rolling with it. Review. Draco in the story is kind of not as bitter, and is kinder towards them than he used to be. Just saying.
(This is kind of Tom's point of view, but like a third person. Not the whole chapter, though.)
Tom was studying them carefully. He did not trust them. They have never had new students before, so why would they be here? It made no sense. He would find out what they were up to.
"Harry Phoenix," Professor Dumbledore yelled out. He had a very odd expression. He looked overjoyed to be sorted.
The sorting hat took a while to decide where to put him, and then it cried out,
"GRYFFINDOR!" The boy looked like he had just been told he won a Nimbus 600. It was ridiculous to be excited to be sorted into that house.
"Draco King," the man called next. Draco King looked like the kind of person that Tom could recruit to be a Death Eater. The prefect smirk and cold, dead eyes. That is, if he was a Slitherin.
"SLITHERIN!" the hat called out almost as soon as it touched his head. Kind of like how it did for Tom.
The next person had dark brown hair that came to her shoulder blades. She looked the youngest of the lot.
"Ginny Albright," Dumbledore called again.
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat called almost immediately. Though not as quick as Draco.
The next girl looked the oldest. She looked a lot like Harry Phoenix. They were twins of course. Her hair fell to the middle of her back in curls.
"Hermione Phoenix, Harry's twin," he yet again called out.
'Oh, already been sorted into Gryffindor I see. Yet your brains are very well impressive enough to be a very good Ravenclaw. Great loyalty I see, maybe Hufflepuff. But the other houses fit you so better. No, no Hufflepuff. Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw,'
"SLITHERIN!" the sorting hat called out.

(back to the regular point of view of whatever it is.)
Hermione looked over to Draco who looked probably more shocked than she did.
She looked over to Harry and Ginny, and they looked even more shocked than Draco. So no help there really.
She walked over to Slitherin table with shaky legs, not feeling like she should be there. When she reached the table someone hugged her. He had long platinum hair and grey eyes.
"Abraxas Malfoy, pleasure to meet you," he said with a smirk.
"Pleasure," Hermione said. She had just been talking to Draco's grandfather. She tried to turn around to go sit by Draco, but he caught her shoulder.
"And you are a pureblood, yes?" he asked she looked over to Draco who nodded vigorously.
"Yes, of course I am," she said before turning on her heel to go sit by Draco. He was sitting at the very end of the table where no one sat. She took her seat beside him.
"Draco, your grandfather was just flirting with me," Hermione said with disgust in her voice.
"I can't even imagine what my ancestors would see in you, Granger," he said with a repulsed tone.
"Draco, we can't call each other by our old names anymore. You need to call me Hermione. Someone could hear you," Hermione stated matter-of-factly. He seemed fine with it, actually.
"Okay, Hermione, so why did you get put in Slitherin? Was it cause you are a pureblood now?"
"Umm, no and I am not actually a pureblood, I'm only pretending, and I don't know why, it never said," Hermione said, sounding very confused.
"Oh, well I guess we'll figure it out eventually, since we'll be here a while. But it's so strange, I mean, we all got put in our old houses, so why not you?"
"Oh, trust me Draco, I have been wondering the exact same thing," Hermione said.
"Hello, I'm Elaine Prince. Welcome to Slitherin house. I am one of the girls you will be rooming with. Come on, I'll show you the others," she said, pulling Hermione out of her chair.
"This is Willa Vaughn," Elaine said gesturing to a girl with long dead black hair. It was the darkest black you could ever imagine. She also had bangs and electric blue eyes. She was beautiful.
"Hey," she said very kindly. Not what she expected out of a Slitherin.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you, Willa. I'm Hermione Phoenix," said Hermione with a polite tone.
"Do you want to come sit by me, or is this your boyfriend," she said. Hermione jumped when she saw he was behind her now.
"DRACO! I THOUGHT YOUR WERE STILL OVER THERE! AND YOU ALMOST MADE MY HEART STOP JUST NOW!" screamed an angry Hermione, but not loud enough to get anyone's attention.
"Sorry, Hermione. Just wanted to know if you were ditching me to come sit with strangers. That's all," Draco said, slightly amused.
"So is he your boyfriend, Hermione?" Willa repeated.
Draco said "Oh, yes she is my girlfriend, has been for a while now," Hermione looked like she had just been to Hell and back.
"Draco, can I talk to you for a second?" Hermione asked with a nervous tone to her voice.
"Yeah, sure Hermione. I'd love to talk to you,"
She dragged him to the Hufflepuff table. She ignored the people staring at them.
"Why, why would you tell them that, Draco?" Hermione said with a skeptical expression on her face.
"Well, you see, I don't want to go out with anyone from here because it's like dating people we know's grandparents. Which is disgusting. So If I tell them I am seeing someone, they won't bother," Draco said as if it was obvious.
"No, I refuse," Hermione said.
"Please."
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"PLEASE!"
"Fine, but you are telling Harry and Ginny what you said. And I am fake breaking up with you tonight in front of everyone." Hermione said with a satisfied smile.
"Fine, I'll do it," Draco said. His voice sounded disappointed.
"Okay after you," Hermione said gesturing with her hand to go to Gryffindor table. When he walked over and sat down, Hermione sat beside him. Ignoring the surprised look on the other Gryffindor's faces.
"Oh, Harry, Ginny, You'll never guess what Draco just told me," Hermione said. Enjoying every minute of this.
"What did he say Hermione?" Ginny asked, looking at Draco.
"He just asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend. Funny isn't it?"
They looked to Draco in shock.
"What? Why would you do that Draco?" harry asked totally aghast.
"Because." Draco said stubbornly.
"He wouldn't tell you if you threatened him," Hermione said, amused.
"Well, okay then," Ginny said confused.
"Hey Ginny, do you want to help me break up with Draco?"
"OF COURSE! When do you want me to help?"
"Right now," said a smirking Hermione.
"Okay then, come on Draco. And make it look believable. Got it?" Ginny ordered.
"Okay," said Draco sulking.
They walked over to the Slitherin table and before Willa could ask any questions, they started.
"DRACO KING I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THAT TO ME!" Hermione yelled, drawing the attention of a few people.
"I'M SORRY! IT WASN'T MY FAULT!"
"OH, REALLY? WELL THEN WHO'S FAULT WAS IT THEN?" Hermione screeched.
"I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT WASN'T MINE!"
"YOU CAN'T GO AROUND TELLING PEOPLE THAT KIND OF THING! IT WASN'T EVEN TRUE!"
"SO WHAT? DOES IT MATTER ANYMORE? WE AREN'T EVEN GOING BACK!"
"I DON'T CARE; THEY WILL GO ON FOREVER THINKING THAT I DID IT!"
"WELL SOR-RY, IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT YOU MADE IT LOOK BELEIVEABLE!"
"WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?"
"YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!"
"WHAT? YOU DON'T CARE? HOW CAN YOU NOT CARE? THAT WAS HORRIBLE DRACO!"
"IT. IS. NOT. MT. FAULT."
"YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'RE OVER! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I EVER WENT OUT WITH YOU!"
"YOU CAN'T BREAK UP WITH ME! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?"
"I THINK I AM SOMEONE WHO DESERVES RESPECT!"
"WELL, FINE THEN! YOU WERE NEVER WORTH IT ANYWAY! I SPENT TWO MONTHS TRYING TO GET YOU TO GO OUT WITH ME AND IT WAS ALL EMPTY WORK!"
"Good bye, Draco!" Hermione said cheerfully. Glad it was over and done.
At least half of the great hall was staring at Hermione. She sat down and acted like nothing ever happened.
"Hermione, what just happened?" Elaine asked me.
Hermione whispered in her ear what really happened.
"Well, that makes no sense at all. But it is funny," she said with a laugh.
"Tell the others when we get to the dormitories, okay?"
"Yeah, no problem."
"Miss Phoenix, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am professor Slughorn, and I am your potions teacher. You, your brother, and your two friends need to come to discuss your schedule with your head of house. That's me. And the head boy. Please get your friends and let's go to my office. You will be back in a few moments," Slughorn said.
Hermione wordlessly agreed and grabbed Draco by the collar of his shirt, and asked Harry and Ginny to follow them.
