Hermione's POV
The next morning Hermione woke up and looked over at Crystal's bed. Crystal wasn't there and neither was Ginny. Hermione quickly got out of bed and got dressed then headed down for breakfast.
"Crissy,you didn't wake me up." Hermione said,then she looked around the room. Everyone who wasn't in sixth grade were leaving.
Oh great, today's the first day we start to live with different houses. Hermione huffed at the thought of sharing a bathroom with Draco. Not only that but now she can't keep an eye on Crystal because she'll be sharing a bathroom with that guy,Justin. Not realising it,Hermione grabbed Crystal's arm.
"Ow,chill there."
"Today...is...the...first...day...that...we...are...separate." Hermione said through gasping for air.
"Yeah,but Slytherin and Griffendor have the same classes. So we'll only be separate during nights and I don't know when else." At that,Hermione's world came crashing down on her. She wouldn't be able to look after her younger sister.
"So when do we,um,get to start to,um,socialise with our room mates?" She asked trying to sound cheerful but came across as nerves.
"Hey guys look. Snape's in Dumbledor's chair." Ginny hissed at both her and Crystal.
Sure enough,Snape was in Dumbledor's chair. In a swift movement,he stood up and walk to the stand where Dumbledore had made so many speeches.
"As you all may know,I'm the new headmaster. It is unfortunate that both professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagal had to leave. But on a lighter note,as the sixth graders you all are,you have a duty to get to know each other," Snape paused then continued, "You will all be living with someone from a different house for a year. Anyone who wants to complain about who they are with,will earn themselves a detention. Now,everyone go find your room mate and then go move all your stuff to your new living space." Snape said slightly staring at the Slytherin table.
Hermione looked at Crystal. Crystal had a piece of paper in her hand and her book bag.
"See off to see my 'room mate' more like hell mate." Ginny sighed
"Oh come on Vanessa's not that bad,I mean not as bad as Draco." Hermione said still aimlessly looking at Crystal. Ginny was gone in a matter of seconds.
"Well,I'm off, I have to meet this guy before I even consider being happy. I can't believe Snape said no one gets to complain."
As if Snape had heard his name he stood back up. "One more thing,anyone who thinks they can sit with who they like for breakfast,lunch and dinner. Think again. You will have to sit with your room mate while you eat. Also in classes."
Draco's POV
NO!NO!NO! Draco yelled in his mind. If we pretty much do everything together then that means I can't be able to talk to Crystal,Draco thought grimly. Everyone was moving around the great hall except for him and Hermione. He saw Crystal with her book bag over her shoulder and a piece of paper. She walked in confidence over to the new guy,Justin. Draco already hated him. Justin stopped talking to Blaise and turned around. He looked her up and down. Draco was in a state of disgust and pure jealousy. He watched as Crystal laughed at something Justin said. He could hear faint echo's of her perfect laugh. Just as Draco was deep in thought,he got a tap on the shoulder. It hurt.
"Draco are you listening." Hermione said. Her gaze followed his and she sighed.
Draco was annoyed by her intrusion. He looked up and realised that Hermione was also looking at her sister with worry in her eyes. Oh,someone help me. I'll be nice to her only because I can see she is worried about Crystal,Draco thought. At that moment he had respect for Hermione,of course he would never admit it if anyone asked.
"Sorry Granger. What were you saying?" Hermione's head snapped back to look at Draco.
"Are you apologising? That's new. Anyway,I was saying,You don't like this as much as I do but if you give me space,I'll give you space."Hermione said with a hint of fierce determination then she was gone.
You have to hand it to her,she knows what she's doing,Draco thought shaking his head. After a while,he went to Slytherin common room which was located in the dungeons to collect his stuff. When he got there he was greeted with Blaise at the door of the boy's dormitory.
"Where's hot head Justin?" Draco asked with a angry face.
"I think you've got some competition. His still with her and well she is letting him flirt with her."
"I don't want to hear it." Draco said pushing Blaise out of the way.
Over at his bed,was his luggage,which he had packed the night before. Draco could hear Blaise talking but he ignored him. Draco packed a few things he had forgotten when he heard footsteps.
"Boy,that girl's a fire cracker." Justin's voice came into the room, "She is amazing. Man,why'd you let her go?" Justin walked over to his luggage and patted Draco on the back in the process. Draco didn't say anything he just watched Justin walk out.
"What are you gonna do now?" Blaise asked from the door.
"I'll think of something." Draco said smirking then once he gathered his stuff he walked to his new living arrangements.
