Chapter 7
The next morning Hermione rose to the sound of alarm clock, "Stupid clock…better get up," she mumbled to herself. She threw the cover off and shakes her head to get the rest of the tiredness out of her system. She walked to the bathroom took a quick shower, got dressed into her new school robes and walked out of her common room and headed to the great hall for some breakfast.
As she walked down many students greeted her with their 'hellos' and 'good mornings'. She replied happily and continued walking but keeping her eyes out for any mischief. She stops at the door to the great hall where she hears screaming and shouting come from the other side.
"I KNOW IT WAS YOU…YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS…IM GUNNA KILL YOU!" the voice screamed.
"YEH AND WHAT ABOUT WHAT YOU DID TO ME … IM GUNNA KILL YOU FIRST!"
"Boys stop! Calm down Hazza!" Yelled Hermione trying to stop both Louis and Harry styles from firing off another food fight. She had to do something seeing as she is head girl.
Hazza stopped struggling against Hermione and glared at Louis. He turned away from them both and sat down quietly on the Gryffindor table and crossed his arms like a little boy.
Hermione surprised by his actions and the control she had over him smiled down at him.
"That was easy," she muttered under her breath. Hermione looked up at Louis and glared at him. Louis noticed the look Hermione was giving and he grew confused.
"What?" He asked looking anywhere but her face, as if he didn't do anything wrong.
Hermione pulled Louis away from the Gryffindor table so nobody could pry on their conversation.
"Louis Tomlinson! Did you know I'm a witch?" She questioned.
"Duh, you come to Hogwarts!" he claimed pointing at the school, stating the obvious.
"Well did you think that no-one could figure out who did the prank last night by saying a simple spell?" she asked.
"No," he looked down clearly embarrassed and almost as quickly looked back up at her hiding all emotions.
"Do you know why they call me the brightest witch of the age?" She looked at him straight in the eyes and Louis gulped in fear of Hermione hexing him, he had of course heard of the power invested in her.
"Sorry Hermione, but don't tell him I did it! I don't like being blamed…" Louis whimpered.
"Good, now why don't you go apologize and clean up that mess you made like a good little boy?" she stared at him, challenging him not to obey her command.
"K," he squeaked and scampered off to clean up the mess.
A triumphant grin spread across her face and she walked back to the Gryffindor table, which was now free of all mess and sat down. She saw a shadow form on the table in front of her a turned around and saw blond hair and sparkling blue eyes.
"Mind if I take a seat, Hermione?"
"Sure, Niall be my guest" she said after recovering from the shock of a really cute boy and amazing singer asking to sit with her. She smiled at Niall and was about to ask him to pass the marmalade when the two mischievous gryffindors entered the great hall.
Hazza came and sat down next to Hermione not uttering a word, and Louis opposite next to Niall. Louis was quite surprised to find Niall sat at their table.
"Niall?" Louis asked with one eyebrow raised. "What are you...?"
"Louis" Niall acknowledged him but silencing him with a glare and gesturing to Hermione with his eyes.
"Oh, eh... Oh I get it! The Great Irish finally plucked up some courage eh?" Louis winked at him causing Niall's soft face to harden and blush a beautiful light pink.
"Louis, if you know what is best for you, you'd shut up, and apologise to Harry" Niall commented while pouring himself some pumpkin juice.
Louis looked at Hazza's sad face. As if he couldn't stand Harry's silence he blurted out "Sorry".
Hazza looked from Louis to Niall, and then to Hermione, who gave a short nod of her head, and back to Louis.
All was silence for a few minutes and the tension was building even higher. Out of nowhere Hazza started laughing uncontrollably. Niall looked from Hermione's and Louis's faces and chuckled himself knowing how shocked Hazza's reply was to both of them.
"Dear Merlin! Should have seen your face! Louis you should know that two can play at that game" he winked and grinned, which made his dimples show.
Hermione was silence after Hazza's words. 'Two can play at a game', was repeating in Hermione's head. All she could think of was that summer when she met a certain blonde boy who changed her life for good. Totally oblivious to what was happening Hermione stood up to leave the table as Harry and Ron entered the Hall.
"Hey Mione" Greeted both boys to their best friend.
"Hey" Hermione replied. "I'm heading off to the library to check something I missed, I'll be right back!" She ran out the hall without leaving a second for the boys to comment.
Both boys shared a look knowing Hermione being her normal self as she ran out the hall.
Zayn entered the great hall with Sam beside him. They met up earlier so that they could talk before breakfast. Sam decided to drop Zayn off to his table. As they both began to walk towards the table making small talk, a brown haired, tanned Slytherin eyed the two approaching his table, but mostly looking at the black haired girl that walked with his fellow house mate.
"Hey Blaise" Zayn called, taking Blaise out of his day dream.
"Oh hey mate, how's the first night?"
"Pretty good, could sleep on that bed for hours" Zayn yawned as he sat at his table. Blaise looked up to find Sam still there, about to walk away.
"Oh, hey there Samantha" Blaise called stopping her from moving.
"Err hey... person-I-don't-know?" she replied uncomfortable. "It's Sam, not whatever you just called me" She looked away disgusted. Blaise observed her from all angle with an amused look.
"Oh Sam is it? Oh dear Samantha, you know us Slytherins, were too good hearted, so we always call people by their real names," he placed his hand on his heart to prove his point.
"Ha-ha Blaisey! Really funny" she responded with sarcasm dripping off every word that came out of her mouth and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Oh quit it you two, your acting like old married couple!" Zayn grunted stopping them two from ripping each other's hair out.
Sam looked at Zayn horrified. "Old married couple?" she squeaked, her voice going high.
Zayn looked at Blaise who wore a triumphant smirk and Samantha who still had a shocked expression.
"Well, yeah, what's wrong with being married and growing old Sam?" Zayn questioned with an evil smirk on his face.
"Nothing...stop teasing me Zayn!" Sam shot back at him angrily. She threw a disgusted look at Blaise and then to Zayn. She muttered under her breath 'Typical Slytherin traits' which both boys heard. She turned around walked off to her table.
"She's a hot one, she is" Commented Blaise eying her figure walking towards her table.
Zayn smiled knowing what was happening and said "Lovesick puppy."
"I'm not lovesick ok? Just stating the facts" the half Italian retorted
Before Blaise could say anything Headmaster McGonagall stormed into the room, her face looking as if she had nothing better to do.
At that moment Hermione entered the Hall looking a lot calmer and sat at her table. Professor McGonagall silenced the hall.
"Students, I hope you have enjoyed your first night back at Hogwarts. Your class will be starting tomorrow. By then all of you will be aware of your schedules. I want all prefects from each house to collect their House's schedules and hand them out before you leave this morning. I want to also remind the eight years that the Role of deputy head boy application are to be handed in to Miss Granger before you leave the Hall. I must remind you that this role is only to help out Miss Granger until the Head Boy returns. If many of you are wondering who the head boy is and where is he, I have no doubt that you will ask. I will however say that he will return within the next month or so and his identity will not be revealed until he has returned. No questions and gossip on this matter please or detention will be served."
She finished her speech with a flick of her wand, taking the silencing charm off. Once again the great hall was surrounded with noise and chatter of students.
Before Hermione left the hall to organise her thoughts, she was handed four applications for the head boy post. She was quite surprised that she received only one applicant from each house. Liam Payne from Ravenclaw, Blaise Zabini from Slytherin, Harry Potter from Gryffindor, and not to her utmost surprise Niall Horan from Hufflepuff, Hermione thought that he was indeed a very responsible person. As she made her way to the Head dorms she made her mind up as to who should receive the role. After she entered her common room she sat down on the maroon coloured sofa by the fire and thought about it again and changed her mind, which was unusual of her. She decided that she would give the role to the 8th year from Hufflepuff. She then thought about it again and as to what people might say that she is only choosing him because they both like each other (a rumour which she had just recently heard). 'Well they can stuff it...I don't care what they think...I don't really like him right?' She shook her head and smiled and walked up the winding stairs to her room to start on her school work.
