Im sorry I am a horrible person. I haven't updated in over a year. I wish that I could say that I have had no time to do anything. Which in the last 9 months that is true, but mostly its was writers block. I forced this chapter out so that I could at least give you guys something. Im a horrible author. Since i have been out of school, life has just gotten insane. Between work and my boyfriend and sleep, I have just lost touch with everything. Again, Im sorry guys. If no one reads or reviews this is totally understand. I apologize again. Bye
"Good morning, guys" Hermione said with a yawn as we walked down the stairs from the girl's dorms.
Nick grunted a 'hello' and Alex just lifted his hand. They were both sprawled out on the couch in front of the fire. The common room was nearly empty due to breakfast, so they figured that they could get a few more precious moments of sleep.
They were both fully dressed in their uniforms, though looking slightly disheveled.
"Thanks for the lovely 'hello'. You guys are so good to me." Hermione giggled, while plopping herself in Alex's laugh, satisfied when she heard a muffled groan.
"Why do these people have to wake up so damn early?" Nick asked. He was used to getting up later. His classes in Salem were later starting around 10:30 in the morning three days a week. And the other two his first class was at 11:30.
Hermione shrugged. "You get used to it. I promise."
"Why couldn't we have at least slept in today? You know the whole Jet Lag and stuff." Alex asked from underneath her. Truthfully this was the greatest thing, Hermione using him for a chair. The closer he could get to her the better.
"Dumbledore didn't want us to have special privileges. So he figured that we should have to be up when everyone else gets up." She sighed. "But believe me, I could use some more sleep too. But we can't do that, we have to be downstairs for breakfast."
"People actually eat this early?" Nick groaned.
Hermione laughed and stood up. "Yes, its called breakfast. Now get your butt up and let's go."
For effect she grabbed Nick's arms and pulled him into a standing position. Alex followed, though slowly.
"I bet Chris isn't acting like this." Hermione muttered.
Nick and Alex followed behind Hermione, really far behind. Hermione just shook her head. They were so overdramatic.
Once they got closer to the Great Hall, the noise level rose. Though luckily Hermione did hear her name being called.
It was Chris. Followed closely by one of the guys she didn't quite get along with. Draco Malfoy. Oi.
Chris ran up to Hermione and took her in his arms and spun her around.
"Christopher, put me down!" she ordered.
He just laughed, and a moment later put her down.
"Gee Chris, miss me much?" she smiled at him.
"Of course. That is the longest that I have ever been away from you, my love." He grinned.
"Hey, she is mine buddy." Nick butt in.
"Ha, your funny." Chris countered.
They went back and forth for a few minutes before Hermione shook her head and turned away.
"So, Malfoy, seen any ferrets recently?" She smirked at him.
"No, Mudblood, but I have seen some dirt on the bottom of my shoes. It looked a lot like you actually." He smirked back.
"What did you say to her?" Alex asked Malfoy, coming up behind Hermione to protect her.
"Don't worry, Alex. Its fine, I'm used to it." She reached behind her and grabbed his hand.
"Hey, mudblood, got new people to fight your battles now? You never were able to fight them on your own." Malfoy sneered at her.
That's when Nick came over and punched Malfoy square in the nose.
Malfoy fell on his back with Nick standing over him. "That is what you get for being an asshole." With that he walked into the hall.
The other three just followed him silently. An angry Nick is not a nice Nick.
