Walking into the great hall with Malfoy was almost embarrassing as he had started to drool, while watching Hermione while she walked in front of him. Funnily enough he didn't even notice it until the entire hall burst out in laughter at him because he was drooling.

Loudly pissed off about his humility he swore and shouted at everyone "What don't any of you have salivary problems?" He clearly wasn't expecting a response and was very shocked when Fred Weasley answered "Yeah I do! But only when I'm looking at a girl that I think is hot" while gazing at Angelina Johnson's breasts.

This again set the great hall into an uncontrollable bout of laughter until Dumbledore while still chuckling called for silence. Everyone immediately sat down and shut up knowing not to upset Dumbledore after the incident last year. The whole school knew that he was still a little sensitive about Snape 'killing him' on the astronomy tower.

One of our old teachers has decided to rejoin us after Professor Snape's disappearance from our school last year. Everybody, please welcome back Professor Remus Lupin, our most recent defence against the dark arts teacher. Pleased, by her favourite DADA teacher's return, Hermione got up and clapped until her hands were sore, like Harry, Ron, Neville, Fred and George. She could she Luna at the Hufflepuff table distractedly clapping, while still trying to read her Quibbler magazine, while Draco at the Slytherin table was surrounded by his friends, clearly complaining about something, probably her.

Hearing Dumbledore finish his speech, Hermione looked up from her lap, to find the tables laden with food. Seeing this mass of food, she realised that she was hungry, but obviously not as hungry as Ron or Harry who were practically inhaling the food from the table. In just one minute of the food appearing, Ron had apparently eaten five large chicken drumsticks, while Harry had eaten a large bowl of fried rice. Hermione had no idea as to how they ate so quickly, but knew that it wasn't healthy.

Soon the main course disappeared and dessert appeared, but only for Ron and Harry to eat large quantities of it. When everyone was full, and all of the food had been eventually eaten, it was the heads responsibility to help the prefects escort the first years to their common rooms.

Expectantly, Hermione took Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, while Draco took Slytherin and Ravenclaw. Together, they made a rather good pair and Hermione considered maybe even turning that compatibility into a relationship.
