Chapter 11
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER.
The following day was the much-anticipated September 1. All in the Zabini house were downstairs, ready and packed, and eating breakfast except for one Blaise Zabini. He was looking for something. One thing. His trainers.
"BLAISE ZABINI, YOU GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT OR WE ARE LEAVING YOU!" Mrs. Zabini screamed
"WELL, DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GO TO HOGWARTS BAREFOOT?" he yelled back
"NO, I EXPECT YOU TO ACCIO YOUR SHOES!"
"My dimwitted son," she muttered downstairs. All those around her stifled laughs and promptly failed when they saw Blaise coming down the stairs, tripping every once in a while.
"Come on guys! Apparate on three. 1…2…3!" yelled Hermione as the spun in place and disappeared.
Kings Cross Station was crowded. Too crowded. As soon as they appeared they were swept away by the crowd.
"Ginny! Where are you going? The platform is this way!" Blaise yelled when he saw Ginny moving in a different direction.
"Why don't you ask these two dunces over here! OI, YOU! YES, YOU! PUT ME DOWN!" she screamed at the two fat guys she was wedged in between.
The two men looked slightly terrified of the fiery redhead and backed away slowly before breaking out in a full sprint when they saw her glare.
"And that," she flipped her hair, "is how you do it."
Blaise looked at her proudly. Draco looked at her with wide eyes. And Hermione…well, Hermione was nearly in tears because she was laughing so hard. She walked over and linked arms with Ginny. "It's called girl power, boys," she said smoothly
They walked back to their carts and pushed them to the platform.
After they went through the barrier Draco tugged on Hermione's arm
"We've got to get to the Heads Compartment for our briefing," he said to her
They said goodbye to the parents and Blaise and Ginny and headed of to their special compartment.
The train started moving and Hermione moved to the seat next to Draco and leaned on him, with the intent of taking a nap. Draco put his arm around her waist and watched her drift off to sleep.
Unfortunately for Hermione, her nap was interrupted by Professor McGonagall for their briefing.
"Mr. Malfoy, Ms. Zabini," she said primly "As you very well know you are to be Heads this year at Hogwarts. Being the Head Boy and Girl is a lot of responsibility. You will arrange patrolling schedules you and the prefects. You will also have the wonderful opportunity to arrange and host Hogwarts' first Halloween Ball. Also, if you would like, we are giving you permission to host another ball. A graduation ball for the seventh years at the end of term. Lastly, don't forget to arrange the annual prefect meetings. That will be all," said the Professor before walking away.
"It seems," said Hermione, "that we have our work cut out for us."
Draco just nodded sleepily. I'm sure you could guess what he was doing during McGonagall's little speech.
