Hey guys. As I promised, I typed up this chapter. AND if you review this right away, like, eh, three reviews, heck even two, I'll have the next chapter up today as well. Which, knowing me, I'll probably put it up anyways. Any who, I'm so sorry that I left you guys like that. I'm back, not very consistently back, but I'm back! And so, um, here's the chapter!


Chapter 29: Roomily Magical


"And this is my room… Or, well, technically it's used as the guest room, but it used to be my room, during the summer after the Last Battle," Hermione explained as she opened the door to the room and stepped inside.

The walls were a gold, almost beige. The comforter on the bed was gold with silver with a red and green Christmas quilt at the foot of the bed as well. Underneath the window stood a desk, a stack of extra paper on one side with a pencil holder full of pens on the other. A large floor lamp stood in the corner as well. A small vanity and stool stood up against another wall with a dresser beside it. A door on the same well led off to another room which Severus assumed to be the bathroom. There were four tall bookcases on one side of the room, filled to the brim with books and covering more than half of the wall, and beside then sat a small love seat with a reading lamp. Hermione and Severus's suitcases sat on the bed and a few paintings hung on the walls. In all it was a pretty plain room, nothing really fancy about it. Well, that is, if you didn't notice the shimmer of magic glittering just faintly about the room.

"So what's behind the glamour?" Severus asked, gesturing to the walls. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"That would be the first thing that you noticed, wouldn't it? Not the great view? Or the Christmas colors?"

"Just remove the glamour," he said with a smirk, and with a sigh, she dug through her pockets, finally coming up with her wand. Flicking her wrist, the shimmering wavered for a moment before dissipating a moment later. Wizarding photographs and fan flags of Gryffindor, Bulgarian, and Ireland Quidditch teams were now o n the walls. Her Wizarding things suddenly appeared on her desk and list of charms and a few bottles of 'Sleekez Hair Serum' shimmered into place on the vanity. Real 'fairy' lights shimmered around the vanity and window. And finally, a miniature version of the ceiling in the Great Hall covered the ceiling of the room, showing a picture of the blazing sun outside. Severus marveled at the magic behind it all, wondering for a moment where she (Hermione) had learn to do it all.

"Happy now? I was gonna take the glamour down later when I had had the chance to put up a few yuletide charms," Hermione said as she put her wand away again.

"No offence, but I actually like it better this way. But how did you get your ceiling like that?" he asked, staring up at it all.

"I looked up that enchantment that they used for the Great Hall and just… downsized it a bit, " she replied with an off-handed shrug as she flopped down on the bed, stretching out on her back.

Severus leaned against the door frame, still looking around the room. "Interesting color choice," he said, nodding towards the bed.

Hermione sighed, rolling her eyes, not even bothering to look up at hi,. "The comforter is mine and the quilt only comes out at Christmas. Don't get a big head about having a little bit of 'Slytherin' colors out at Christmas," she said, sounding thoroughly annoyed about being bothered.

He chuckled, pushing away from the door and walking over to the bed, sitting down on the left side of the twin sized bed, sighing softly as he stared up at the shinning, sunny, ceiling.


So, that was the chapter. I hope you guys liked it. Don't forget, REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
