Chapter 4: Two Sinks and a Toilet
"I thought this story was about Draco Malfoy?" Rose asked. "Who is Connor Garlander?" Hermione smiled.
"It is about Draco. But Connor plays an important role." She coughed and closed her eyes. "Now back to the story," She said roughly.
I walked alongside Professor Mcgonagle while Malfoy lagged behind. We went up two flights of stairs until we finally came to a portrait.
The large portrait was an old man in a rocking chair. He looked as if he was sleeping except he was as still as dead. He was in a cob web filled room and everything was still except for the leisurely rocking of his chair. Great, we have a boring portrait.
"The password is Destiny." Professor Mcgonagle said. What's with the password? Destiny? 'Common, usually it's something like Lemon drops, or licorice wands. "This is where I leave you. Enjoy your new dormitory." She said, and was gone.
"Destiny," Malfoy said. "Mudbloods first," he said smugly gesturing to the open portrait.
"Yep mudbloods first, ferrets second," I said confidently walking through the door. I heard Draco growl behind me making me smile. Ahh I loved Moody. Well it wasn't really Moody, but it was still funny anyways. He will never live down the name Ferret, and there was no way I was going to let him, which pleased me to no end.
Dear Merlin! This common room is gorgeous! To the left was what looked like a family room type of area. It has a large red couch and two green arm chairs on the side. With a fur rug in the middle under a glass coffee table. Across from the couch were a lit fireplace and the Slytherin and Gryffindor banners on each side. On the right side of the portrait entrance was an open doorway that led to a small kitchen. The kitchen had a stove top, a sink, a dish washer, and a large fridge. I curiously opened the fridge, to find it full of food, and a shelf that had a lengthy supply of potions.
Stomach potions, flu potions, headache potions, sleep potions, and energy potions. Everything!
This is when I love Dumbledore! I left the kitchen and moved back to the common room. Across from the doorway was a door with a staircase on each side winding upwards. I walked through the door in the center to find my dream come true. The large room had a slanted ceiling that was about two-three stories tall. The slanted wall on the left and right was covered to the top with books, and had a shelf scale on each side. The wall across from the doorway was pure glass. I walked up to touch it and looked down. I probably shouldn't have done that. I took a cautious step away. I felt like I was in the sky! It was a long way down. In the center of the amazing room were two oversized armchairs and a long oak table. Perfect for studying. This room was BY FAR my favorite. I pulled myself away from the beautiful room to see what the stairs led to.
The marble stairs were enclosed by red walls which I guessed signified it as mine, and the other staircase was Malfoy' dimly lit staircase led to a single door. I opened it excitedly.
The room had red walls, and a king sized bed in the center. The ceiling was bewitched to show the beautiful starry night. On the right side of the room was a door. I opened it to find a walk in closet with all of my clothing put into an organized spot. Ginny will flip when she sees this. Across from the closet was another door. A bathroom, I guessed.
The room was tiled in black and white and in the corner was a glass walk in shower that could fit the whole quidditch team. There was a massive tub in the middle that looked very tiny. This was unnormal for this extravagant room. So I stepped inside it, to find it had an expansion charm on it. I was now standing in the bottom of a pool. The pool was about thirty wands long, and fifteen wands tall. It was amazing! I went to the staircase and got out of the pool, so I stepped onto the tiled floor. Dumbledore was genius. I examined the rest of the amazing room, but something odd caught my eye. Two sinks? And then I saw a door on the other side of the room. No… way…
"Malfoy couldn't possibly-"Speaking, of the devil the door swung open and in strut the devil himself. He examined the room as well.
"You have got to be kidding me," he spat. I didn't respond. I was in surprise just as much as he was. Dumbledore could create this entire amazing room but he couldn't put a wall in-between it??? No, this was one of his crazy plans to 'unite' the Head boy and girl. I don't think he realizes that it will probably start MW2 (magic war two).
"I am not sharing a bathroom with a mudblood," he spat at me.
"Well I'm not sharing a bathroom with a ferret! I don't want you to shed all over the space." I said crossing my arms.
"Then I advise that you quit," Malfoy threatened stepping closer. Was he trying to be intimidating? Because it was definitely not working. I held my ground, but looked at the floor. "While you still can," he said leaning in by my ear so I could feel his breath on my ear. My heart beat fluttered. Ok… maybe just a little intimidating. But there was no way I was going to show him that!
"W-Well it's not going to happen," I stuttered. I cursed my voice for betraying me. Malfoy laughed quietly.
"Be on you're a game Granger, cause starting now I'm not going easy on you anymore," he whispered. With that he stepped away and left the room. Did he really think he could have that much control over me? And this was a game now? I always love a challenge, and this place was too amazing to give up. If he wants to play this game then I'm all in.
"Game on," I muttered through my teeth slamming the door and crawling into bed.
A/N: HEYY! Ok so today I got off school cause of a cold day. Yes I did just say a cold day. It's negative fourteen degrees here in Verona Wisconsin! Brr… So that's how I got this chapter up so fast. :]
Sorry that I spent so much time giving ya'll details about the rooms and not so much on Draco/Hermione, but I thought it was good for you guys to know how kick ass the rooms were because it's what Malfoy and Hermione are fighting over.
PLEASE REVIEW! You guys are doing great, but reviews are my push to update faster and it inspires me to write. Don't be afraid to throw in any ideas you have for future chapters, I might just use them:]
Love always,
