Chapter 2
Wednesday:
Too, busy, too busy, I'm so stressed not only am I trying to do my own essays and revising, but no fewer than 5 different people have requested my help – arh!
Friday:
Well I never saw that coming! We were all called into the great hall at lunch time for an "important announcement". I was sitting in my usual position, which is unfortunate - I really have seen enough of Ron eating to last me a lifetime, I just hope he passes better manners onto his future children.
Anyway the announcement! Eek, for once I am so excited, we are having a Hogwarts singing competition.
Now you wouldn't think that I would get excited about such a thing, but in my quest to become Mrs "him", I think I have my best chance in impressing him, as I do have a passable voice – not that anyone knows, I have kept that part of my personality to myself.
Now the twist in this singing competition is that you have to submit your name into the sorting hat, and the said sorting hat will then pick each houses representative and which house you will represent. Yes you heard me right I might up representing Slytherin!
All entries have until 7pm Sunday evening to submit their names, I better get practising!
Saturday:
The ferret makes me so mad – earlier:
Draco: Morning Granger
Me: Morning
Draco: You look happy, have you finally found a cure for unusually bushy hair?
Me: Get lost Malfoy
Draco: Can't Granger, I know every nook & granny of this castle
Me: Funny! Not
Draco: Gonna share what's got you smiling?
Me: No
Draco: Arh come on Granger, you know I'm only messing
Me: Do I?
Draco: Yes, are you entering in this singing competition?
Me: I might do, why?
Draco: I thought you might, you have to try and be picked for everything don't you?
Me: Sod off Draco
Draco: Make me, (smirking)
Me: I'm too busy for this, (trying to push past)
Draco: Sticks foot out, and yep you've guessed it, over I go looking a complete idiot
Draco: Hehehehe
Me: Bright fire engine red face and a sore ankle.
Well I will be laughing all the way into my beloved's arms when I win this competition.
Which will do doubt disgust Draco being "his" godson and all, will that make me a Draco's godmother in law – he now there's a thought…
I did manage to get some practise in after seeing Madam Pomfrey,
I hope I'm picked I've heard Ginny singing and she has a lovely voice, low and husky.
Sunday:
The time has arrived for me to put my name in the sorting hat urh. Everyone will be looking at me. I don't like the limelight so much actually – why am I doing this?!
No, no, there's no time for self-doubt Hermione, let's do this!
Sunday later:
I did it!
Everyone was looking, whispering and pointing, but I used my Gryffindor courage, head held high and walked straight up and put my name into the hat, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Neville, Luna were all cheering me on even Draco had a smile on his face, I did sneak a quick look at "him", he was looking at me with that eyebrow up – swoon, but unfortunately I caught Dumbledore watching me to, I'm not sure why he was grinning so much …
I just have to wait now, the ceremony will be Monday evening after dinner.
