Chapter 4
A New Group Of Friends
"Draco where would, blaze be?" pansy as she walked hand in hand with Harry along the bank of the black lake with Hermione and Draco, as Draco described everything they saw to a blind Hermione.
"Err it's a Saturday afternoon and we have a DADA essay due tomorrow so the library?" Draco suggested.
"Oh crap!" pansy gasped, "I forgot about that, ohh I'll never get it done now!"
"Don't worry pansy I'll help you" Hermione said smiling in her direction.
" But how can you…" pansy trailed of not knowing how to put it nicely.
"The headmaster changed all my books to brail and because if my sister I can read them" she said lightly.
"Oh!" pansy said happily as she hugged her new friend.
"I guess it's off to the library mione?" Harry asked, the curly haired teen nodded and walked off with pansy leading her in the direction of the library. Harry and Draco stared after them and groaned, before going after them.
Walking into the library Hermione caught the familiar sent of old leather and that brought her a sense of comfort.
Pansy took her hand and led her over to a table witch Hermione had assumed was empty until pansy had down and said " hey Blaise"
"Hmm, oh! Hey pans" he said looking up from his book then he looked to the girl next to his friend.
"Is that Hermione granger?" he asked.
"I might be blind but I can still here you know" Hermione said stiffly.
"Sorry! I didn't mean it like that it's just most of the school think were going to kill them of are going to kill us" he said quietly worried he might have scared away a new friend.
"Hermione he meant nothing by it, he was just shocked" came the soothing voice of Draco.
"Oh ok, I'm sorry Blaise, my name's Hermione pleased to meet you, I hope we can be friends" she said happily putting her hand out but she felt some one move it round a bit "dam" she muttered under her breath.
Blaise took the offered hand " I'm Blaise and I'd like to be friends"
Hermione smiled happily glad to have so many new friends she couldn't wait to tell Ron then they could all new friends.
"Oh so you've dragged mione into the deatheater circle too now have you" she herd Ron snapped.
"Ron what are you on about?" she asked trying to figure out where his voice was coming from. She felt draco turn her in his direction, she was getting to remember every one's individual touched and scents as her other senses where taking over to compensate for the one she had lost.
"Harry's dating that deatheater bitch Parkinson!" Ron spat.
Draco Blaise and Hermione said "Really?" and turned to congratulate their friends.
"Hermione what are you doing! Your suppose to talk sense into him not congratulate him!" Ron exasperated!
"Why pansy is my friend I'm happy for her" Hermione said confused
"But their deatheater scum!" Ron Shouted Hermione felt for Ron and used her hand to limb her way up his chest to his cheek when she had what she wanted she drew back and slapped him hard, Smirking when she herd the resounding crack as her hand met his cheek.
"Don't talk about my friends like that, you little piece of shit" she hissed.
"I think you should go weasely your not wanted" said Draco from beside Hermione.
Ron looked at the five of them in disgust and walked away.
"Bastard" Harry bit out "Hermione I'm sorry he already had a go at me I should have told you" it's fine no one talks about my friends like that.
"Hermione" pansy said quietly "will Ginny be like that as well?" she asked her voice full of sadness.
"No Ginny is kinder than her pig headed brother" Hermione said gently.
"Talking of which here come the little fire cracker now" Draco said putting his hand on Hermione's shoulder.
"Wow she's hot" Hermione heard Blaise whisper causing both Hermione and Pansy to giggle.
Draco leaned into Hermione and whispered, "Told you he'd like her"
"Hermione, do you know what the hell my brother his babbling about?" she asked as she came up to them "hi Harry" she said as an after thought.
"Ronald is mad, because Harry and I are friends with Draco, Blaise and pansy, well Harry is dating pansy but that's beside the point" Hermione explained.
Ginny sighed and shook her head "why must my brother hold grudges"
Ginny looked at Draco Blaise and Pansy and held out her hand.
"I'm Ginny weasely," she said with a smile and the three Slytherin's all shook her hand and they spent the rest for the afternoon helping each other with assignments and having a laugh about Childhood stories and just generally getting to know one another. Draco and Hermione also explained about the new dorm rooms and common rooms and there others were ecstatic that they were getting to live together.
They walked to the common room and Hermione said the password and the portrait swung open. The main common room was done in a mixture of Slytherin and Gryffindor colours with two black leather couches and four cushy red chairs, and a roaring fire. At the far end where two doors one with a "G" the other with a "B" they were the bath rooms, along either side of the door were three doors the doors on the right had the Gryffindor crest and the doors on the left had Slytherin crests. Whilst the other went to check pout their rooms Draco stayed with Hermione and described everything to her letting her walk about and feel everything, he was smiling at her until he noticed her tears.
"Hey, hey why the tears?" he asked turning her round so she was looking at him figuratively speaking.
"It all sounds and feels so beautiful I…I wish I could see it" she sobbed gently.
Draco looked at her helpless form and did the only thing he could think of he hugged her "it's going to be okay, professor Snape will find away to reverse this, I know he will"
He said rubbing small circles on the girls back to calm her, after he had clamed down he whipped her face and lead her into pansy's room so could have some girl time with her and Ginny. Whilst he himself went into Harry's room.
