Hermione Granger....Slytherin?!
Disclaimer: you all know it already!
A/N: Thank you all for your wonderful reviews! This is my very first fic and I'm so pleased that it did so well. This is for every one who wanted more! Thank you! PS: Check out my other story, Elephant Love Medley. It's in the Anime section under Digimon.
CHAPTER 2: Hermione settles in and takes over
Hermione sighed to herself as Professor Snape led her down to the Slytherin common room. Just my luck. She thought, bitterly. After 4 years in Gryffindor, I find out that my real parents were Death Eaters and because of that, I have to be re-sorted into...Slytherin, of all houses. And this was the year I became a Prefect! This is so not fair!
Snape came to a stop in front of a stretch of bare, damp and cold stone wall. "Do you know the password, Miss Granger?" he asked. "This is your new common room."
Hermione was quiet, but then she remembered. She turned to the wall and said, "Slytherin blood"
When the last syllable left her lips, a stone door that had been hidden within the wall slid open and Snape let her through. But, not before he told her something.
"The bathroom for Slytherin prefects is behind that wall." He gestured towards a wall with a sliver cobra painted on it. " I trust that you know the password for that, as well?"
"It's dracaenas Slytherin, Professor Snape." she answered calmly.
"Good. " he said. "This is where I leave you, Miss Granger. Good luck."
"Thank you very much, Professor Snape."
As Snape left, Hermione took a deep breath and pulled her robes up over her head, concealing her identity to the other Slytherins, who were all staring at her as she walked by. She paused for a moment and looked around. It was just as Harry and Ron had described it:" A long, low underground room with rough stone walls and ceiling from which round greenish lamps hung on chains."(A/N: Taken from CoS.) A fire was roaring away in a very intricately and elaborately fireplace in front of her. Several Slytherins sat around the fire in high-backed chairs. She sighed again. Well, it's not so bad. She thought. This place has a sort of quaint and homey charm to it. Looks comfortable enough to me. Maybe calling this place home won't be so bad after all.
Hermione thought for a moment, trying to remember where the Slytherin girls' dormitories were. Then she remembered and she dashed towards a small, spiral staircase and at the top, took a right, looking for a dormitory with a sign that read FIFTH YEARS.
After a brief search, she found her new room and walked in. It looked almost exactly like her dormitory in Gryffindor, except that the four posters were draped in green and silver and there were no windows. She smiled bravely and found her things, claiming a bed for herself.
While Hermione was unpacking, Pansy Parkinson and her gang of Slytherin fifth years girls came in. Pansy, wondering whom the intruder was, decided to catch Hermione off guard. She walked up behind her and said: "Hey."
Hermione turned around swiftly to face Pansy. "Hello, Pansy." she said pleasantly. "Have a nice summer?"
The Slytherin girls were completely thunderstruck and remained silent for a moment. Pansy recovered quickly and sneered at Hermione. "What're you doing in here, Gryffindor Granger?" she snarled.
But Hermione remained calm. "Haven't you heard?" she asked, coolly. "Since my real parents were Death Eaters, I had to be put in Slytherin."
The girls went "Ooh." at Hermione's statement, looking at her with new respect.
"Well, then girls, we'll have to declare you our new leader then… er, Hermione, is it? " Pansy asked. "Isn't that right, girls?" The others all nodded.
"We have the smartest girl in our year now, right? So, you should be our leader, Hermione." A Slytherin fifth year girl Hermione knew was called Diana Malevolence suggested. "That is, if you want to do that."
Hermione though this over for a moment before answering. "Okay." She said.
"Is it true that you're now as rich as the Malfoy family?" Blaise Zabini asked, curiously." That's what I heard, but though it was just a rumor."
Hermione giggled and nodded.
"Cool." The girls chorused.
"You know, Hermione here is going to need a brand new look if she's going to be our leader." Millicent Bulstrode remarked.
Let's give her a complete makeover!" Another girl named Artemis Chi exclaimed. "We'll make her into a totally new witch!"
"What do you say, Hermione?" Pansy asked. "Is it a 'yes'?"
Sighing, Hermione nodded. "Alright." She replied. " I need a new look, anyway. I certainly can't start out looking like a Mudblood. I'm a pure- blood and should look the part."
"Then, it's settled!" Diana announced. "Let's get started!"
