"Yep me" said Blaise Zabini, smirking, "Surprised?".
"How dare you, I told you I was Head Girl almost every day during the summer and you never said anything!" Hermione said.
"Well I figured I would let you get your knickers in a twist pondering who it was!" Professor McGonagal gave a small cough, "Oh sorry Professor!" Blaise took his seat, next to Hermione, facing the Professor. Hermione couldn't help but grin she was glad Blaise was Head Boy, he was her 2nd cousin and had become one of her best friends.
Professor McGonagal proceeded to tell them their duties, "First you are in charge of all school events, such as dances and Hogsmeade visit, you also will patrol the halls every other night from 11-11:45, you may patrol together, or switch off with the prefects. Also as you know the Heads share a living quarter, this year, to promote house unity, Dumbledore and myself decided we would allow each of you to choose 1 other person you would like to share your rooms with the both of you, do you know who you wish to share your rooms with or will you take some time to decide?" asked the professor.
I know who I would like, Professor." said Hermione
"As do I!" said Blaise
"May I ask who, so I can send the names ahead to Albus?" said McGonagal.
"Ginny Weasley"
"Draco Malfoy"
"Ok, said the Professor, I must ask you not to let Mr.Malfoy nor Ms.Weasley know, Albus would like it to be a surprise."
"Yes Maam"
"You two may go" said Professor McGonagal.
The two heads went back to their separate compartments, thinking about what they just heard the whole way their.
They arrived at Hogsmeade station shortly and headed into the carriages that would take them up to the entrance hall, then proceed to the Great Hall for the Welcome Feast and Sorting Ceremony. The Sorting hat's song gave the usual background of the founders, but also a warning, keep your friends close, and your enemies closer, and to stay alert and trust only those who are trustworthy. The actual ceremony went by fairly quickly. The Gryffindor House gained 12 new students, which included Dakota, and to everyones surprise, Max. When Max's name was called Hermione and Ginny could have sworn they heard a cough that sounded distinctly like "Hufflepuff". Both girls turned 90 degrees to the right to see Blaise and Draco sniggering , they caught the boy's eyes and grinned. Draco muttering "it was me", this caused them to laugh. The Slytherin house got 12 new students also, and Ravenclaw and Huffelpuff both got 10 new students each. Next, much to Ron's delight, the food appeared. A little bit of everything could be found, Hermione felt a little guilty thinking about how much work the house-elves had to do, but she had given up on S.P.E.W 6TH Year.
Next Dumbledore had his usual speech, announcing house prefects and the Head Boy and Girl. When he finished he announced that he wanted to see Hermione, Blaise, Ginny, and Draco. Ginny turned to look at Hermione
"What's he want me and Malfoy for, were only prefects?", for Ginny had been made prefect the previous year.
"I dunno" said Hermione, trying to hold back a grin.
When they finished eating, Ginny and Hermione, made their way up to the staff table, out of the corner of her eye she saw Blaise and Draco also making their way up to the front of the hall, also, to her dismay, she also noticed quite a few male heads turn in her direction as she passed by, this caused her o be a little self-conscious, but she tried to ignore it, maybe they were staring at Ginny. As they reached the staff table Dumbledore greeted them.
"The Heads were allowed to each choose a person that will get to share there private living quarters with them, Mr. Malfoy and Ms.Weasley, you two are the lucky two who were chosen."
Ginny and Draco beamed at Hermione and Blaise.
"Shall I show you to your living area?" asked Dumbledore.
He led the four students up to the 5th floor and to a portrait of four students, one from each of the Hogwart's houses, lounging by the lake together.
"House Unity" muttered Blaise.
"You may choose your own password, Goodnight." said Dumbledore and he gave them a little smile and wave and was gone.
"What do you guys want the password to be?" asked Hermione.
"How about 'Unity'? Asked Ginny.
"Nah how about 'Daminion' it means 'powerful' and it uses at least 1 letter from each of our names. D-from Draco, A-from Blaise, M-from Hermione, I- from Ginny, N-from Hermione, I-from Blaise, O-from Draco, N-from Hermione.
"Ok, Daminion" Draco said to the portrait.
What they saw when the portrait opened took their breath away.
The common room was a very pale blue with an enchanted ceiling, like that of the Great Hall. There was a mahogany desk against one of the walls with two large bookshelves on either side. There was also a large fire-place with a couch for about 5, and 2 arm chairs on either side, they were a cerulean color, made of silk fabric with a few fluffy throw pillows. There were 2 spiral staircases, directly opposite the 4 students who stood, in aww, in the doorway. They proceeded into the common room and split up, Draco and Blasie, and Ginny and Hermione. Ginny and Hermione took the staircase on the right and proceeded up the twisting spiral staircase until they came to a portrait from a muggle movie "Mean Girls", four girls were present in the portrait, by the looks of it they were practicing a dance.
"Hi!" the red-head greeted them.
"Oh Cady stop sucking up!" snapped the light blonde. "Im Regina, the red-head you just talked to is Cady, this is Karen, she said indicating a dirty-blonde, and this here, she said indicating a curly-haired brunette, is Gretchen.
"What would you like your password to be, only you two are to know it." asked the brunette, Gretchen.
Hermione and Ginny looked at each other and silently agreed. "Girl's Rule".
On the left the boys also met a portrait. This one was from a muggle book "Huckleberry Finn", it showed two boys in a row boat, fishing.
"Hi, im Huck, and this here is Tom, whatcha want your password to be?" asked the younger boy in the portrait, Huck.
"How about 'Irrepressible"? Asked Blaise.
"Ok, 'Irrepressible'. Said Draco.
Hermione and Ginny were in a state of shock. Their room was a bright pink with a pink ceiling that must have had glitter in the paint because it sparkled. They had a huge white vanity and two large queen-sized beds, on either sides of the beds were two doors, as they walked closer to the doors to open them Hermione noticed her name was carved in the bed on the right in an elegant cursive, Ginny's on the left. They both took the doors closest to their beds and discovered that the doors led to large walk-in closets. They noticed, when they came out of the closets, there were also 2 doors on the left and right walls. They took the door on the right wall and discovered a large bathroom with a pool-like bathtub, and also a shower large enough for 3 people. They took the door on the left wall next, and found, to their liking, a kitchen, complete with refrigerator, sink, dishwasher, microwave, everything! There was also an island, and a round table with four stools, next to a window facing the lake and Hogwarts grounds. Hermione noticed a note on the sink,
Dear Ms.Damenzla, Ms. Weasley, and Misters Zabini and Malfoy,
This kitchen adjoins your rooms, it is very simple to work, you wish on what you want and it shall appear, but sometimes you may have to do something to complete the meal, like heat it up or something. You can store extra food in the cabinets or refrigerator. Enjoy!
Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster.
P.S . We do hope you still join us for most meals in the Great Hall.
"This is sooo coo" said Ginny"I want cotton candy", then magically a bag of pink and blue cotton candy could be found on th island. "Yay" she bounded over and grabbed it. "Good too" she said, stuffing a piece in her mouth.Just then Blaise and Draco came through the door.
"Wow" was their reaction.
Hermione handed Blaise the letter, he skimmed through it then went to 'help' Ginny get the cotton candy off of her mouth
"How are your rooms?" Hermione asked Draco
"Bloody Brilliant, there huge, larger then mine at home."he exclaimed"How abut you ladies?"
Hermione was a little taken aback, Draco Malfoy was never civil to anyone, let alone her. "Oh its quite pretty actually, I really like this though,she said gesturing at her surroundings.
"Yeah me to, now we don't have to sneak down to the kitchens, us Slytherins are notorious for that." he said, gaining his usual air of arrogance.
"Oh I've been down there to-" she was cut off by her own yawn. "Boy im tired, im gonna turn in, coming Ginny?"
"Yeah, let me say goodnight to my baby" said Ginny, kissing Blaise, and murmuring goodnight to Draco
"Wait, You and Ginny!They heard Draco say as they said the password to the 'plastics'as they called themselves, for they must have had 2 portraits because they had walked into this one now which had a large bed and a few sleeping bags in it, as if for a sleep over.
Hermione quickly changed into a pair of pink boy shorts and a tank top, and jumped into her bed when she found another note from the headmaster sating that she could change her bed and walls by imaging so she changed her side of the room to a powder blue and left her ceiling a sparkly silverwith a few glow-in-the-dark stars. Her sheets on her bed exactly like the ceiling except with a few sparkly blue fluffy pillows. Ginny did hers in pink colorsbut left the ceiling like Hermione's, except instead of glowing stars there was glowing hearts.
"Well Gin, sleep tight!" said Hermione.
"You too, Mione, thanks for picking me!"
"Of course!"
"Ok, well goodnight, its good to be home huh?"
"Sure is!"
