Wait, What?
Don't look at Malfoy don't look at Malfoy…why is he staring? It's starting to make me feel uncomfortable, I wish the walk towards the headmaster and so the so called head boy wasn't so long and awkward.
I put on smile as a finally approached the head master and the smelly ferret at the dining hall doors like in the letter
"Ah my dear Hermione, I'd hope you would accept our proposal of head girl" Dumbledore sweetly said as he linked his hands together
I smiled even bigger "Thank you so much for this opportunity, I will not disappoint you"
From the side of my vision I thought I saw Malfoy roll his eyes and let out a small laugh
Oooo I hate him!
"Before we begin the feast and sorting ceremony, I would like to quickly inform you about the head duties and living situations" Dumbledore said, I thought I saw a small sparkle in his eye
Living situations, what?
Malfoy must have read my mind because he was just as confused as I was and asked "Living situations?"
"Yes, in earlier years, as Hermione might already know of, the heads would have their own living quarters in their respected house chambers"
I gave a small nod, Yesss of course I know this, I mean I have read every volume of Hogwarts A History up until the latest edition
Dumbledore continued "But since the war I would like the students at Hogwarts to be more … united and feel like they can get along with all houses"
United? Here it comes, I was just kidding about the united house activities thing, now it's going to be for real..where is he going with this?
"Since some damages were made to the building during the war, I took the liberty of arranging some extra dormitories for prefects and heads when we were repairing the school" at this Dumbledore seemed a little too excited to be talking about this new "project" of his
I get my own separate dormitory? yes! I can just keep to my studies, have Ginny and the boys over and not get bombarded by other students asking me to help them with their homework questions…Oh I wonder what it looks like, I can't wait
I tried to suppress a smile, but it was difficult, I wanted to keep my composure in front of the blonde toad next to me..I don't know why I cared
"The ceremony is about to start so I'll just say a few more words, after we get the first years settled in I will personally take you to your shared head dormitories and discuss your further head duties before the day's end" Dumbledore swiftly left me and Malfoy alone, and didn't even stay to explain what he had just said
Shared? What the hell does that mean? Sharing with…Malfoy? No no that can't be this is absurd. I nervously laughed at my thoughts
"What are you laughing at mudblood? I supposedly have to share a dorm with you? He better be off his rocker because there's a slim chance of that happening" Malfoy said, a little bit too loudly
I honestly forgot he was there, he hadn't really said a word since I met him and Dumbledore at the hall doors
I got my thoughts back together and retorted "Shut up Malfoy, I for one am not too happy about it either so shove it you magical abomination"
Hmm I fairly liked that comeback, very creative if I do say so myself.
"You wish, now out of the way I have better things to do, I can't believe that old coot chose a mudblood as head girl" Malfoy said as he turned and entered the dining hall.
I can't believe I have to live with THAT!
Even though he's been calling me that for years, it still stings once in a while, maybe that's why I'm such an over achiever. I want to prove to people like him that I can be a great which even though I am just a muggle-born.
I just closed my eyes and let out a large breath Ok Hermione grin and bear it, you have been through worse things, well we'll see about that
I pushed through the hall doors and saw two red heads and a scraggly black head with glasses; I sat down between Ginny and Ron.
"Hermione!" Ginny yelled, she hugged me really tight
I missed her, she is like my only "girl" friend. I mean Harry and Ron are my best mates, but their friendship could only go so far when I need to do girl stuff.
"When are we going to eat I'm starving" Ron said pretty weakly
"Ron, I can still see the bloat from all those sweets you ate on the train, you're fine" Harry said jokingly
"Yeah you could probably feed a family of five with all that extra fluff you're packing there" I patted his stomach lightly
"Hey" He swatted my hand away "It keeps me warm in the winter"
Ginny and I laughed pretty hard and I embarrassingly made a small snort, Ron's such a kid, but he makes me laugh. I turned to talk to Ginny; I haven't seen her all day
"You look so cute, your hair is so soft, and you finally took my advice and tried a bit of make-up, I'm so proud of you" Ginny smiled as she felt my hair
"Thanks I thought it's my last year, with new beginnings, why not?" I giggled
"We have to catch up since I didn't see you on the train, I hope we have the same dorm room like last time" Ginny chirped
Oh yea she doesn't know..I should be excited, but now I don't know especially with this whole Malfoy thing
I slowly tried to break the news "Ginny, about that. Well The good news is I'm head girl"
"Head girl, that's fantastic!" She interrupted
Then I interjected again "Yes. Good fun. However the bad news is the head boy is Malfoy" She didn't even seem fazed, I went on and exchanged looks between Ron and Harry too "But the worst part is, I think we have to share dormitories this year"
There was a collaboration of exclamations and objections.
"What/no/ew/Malfoy/gross/he better not try anything"
"Wow Dumbledore really took this house unity thing to a whole different level" Ginny said in amazement
"This is outrageous you aren't going to live there with him are you 'Mione?" Ron asked in disbelief
"No, I am not going to admit defeat leave the position of head girl just because I have to live with the little maggot" I said trying to calm things down, I glanced at the Syitherin table and accidentally locked eyes with the "head boy" he just stared at me like he was trying to figure out what was so different about me, This time I was the one who smirked and looked away.
Take that you uptight little boy
I looked back at Harry as he began to say "Well if you need us, we got your back. And remember what we had talked about on the train"
Oh yeah I forgot about all the fun stuff we could do to Malfoy, hmm now that we would be sharing living quarters it could be easier to infiltrate his territory. I wonder what kind of new products George has that I can experiment with
The sorting had started and everyone was watching the front of the hall as all the first years got sorted into their houses.
I quietly laughed evilly "yes I can't wait, Ron can you send a letter to George about some of the necessities we might need?"
Ron sat up in excitement "Sure thing, right away"
"What's happening to Malfoy?" Ginny asked in confusion, because of her absence from our conversation on the train
I leaned in and whispered "I'll fill you in after the sorting is over; you're going to like what I have to say haha"
Yet again things are looking very up right now; just you wait Malfoy I can act like a Slytherin too
