Draco Malfoy stepped up to the gray stone statue. He stared at the snake that was coiled around the body and neck of the lion. Hermione stepped up next to him.
"Wonder why the statue is a lion and a snake...." she mumbled quietly.
"Because it's a well known fact that the Head Boy and Head Girl are usually from Slytherin or Gryffindor," Draco arrogantly replied.
"I was talking to myself," Hermione snapped. "You will know when I'm talking to you. I'll have to bring myself to look at you." She disappeared behind the statue. Only the Head Boy and Head Girl could walk through the statue. To everyone else (besides house elves), it was a solid statue.
Hermione gasped as her eyes took in the sitting room. It was enormous. A tan leather couch sat in front of the large fireplace that was placed in the left side of the room, and two matching recliners sat on either side. She could feel the warmth of the roaring fire as she stood 40 feet away. Bookcases lined the walls, filled with books. Gryffindor and Slytherin colored tapestries hung from the stone walls, staring and the ceiling and dropping 20 feet to the floor, in-between the bookcases. A gigantic dark green rug covered half of the stone floor, while a maroon one of equal size covered the rest. Only a bit of the actual floor could be seen.
"Stop gaping Granger, it's not all that grand," Malfoy sneered as he pushed his way past her. He walked straight in front of her and up the grand staircase that split in half, veering in opposite directions. He took the stair case to his left and walked up to the door at the end. After glancing up for a moment, he walked inside.
Hermione sighed. "Asshole," she thought to herself as she began to ascend the staircase. She took the stairs to the right and walked up to the door. Looking up as Malfoy had, she saw that "Hermione Granger" was engraved into a solid gold plate that was mounted above her door. Turning around and taking a few steps forward, she saw that the same thing was above Malfoy's door, except it said "Draco Malfoy" in silver plate. No, Hermione looked closer. It wasn't silver, it was white gold. She shook her head, silver would have been to trashy for a Malfoy.
She opened the door to be greeted by another fire, only it was much smaller than the one downstairs. To her left was a large canopy bed. The comforter, along with the pillowcases, sheets, ect was maroon and the sheer material that enclosed the bed was the same. Her trunk sat at the end of the bed and seemed to be already unpacked. Straight ahead was the fireplace and a comfortable looking maroon recliner sat a little off to the left side. Turning her head to the right, Hermione saw her closet in the far corner, and a few feet away sat her desk, already set up with quills, ink and parchment.
"Don't gawk like that. It makes you look as poor as the Weasel," Draco's mocking voice said. He stared at her for a moment before descending the stairs. "How the hell did Granger turn out to be so sexy," Draco mumbled quietly to himself.
Hermione glared at Malfoy as she turned and followed him down the stairs. "What on Earth was Malfoy staring at me for..." Hermione thought. "What was that about 'sexy'? Talking about himself again."
Looking behind the staircase, Hermione saw more bookcases against the wall, and 4 large ones stood in the middle of the room. She realized the private library had as many books as the school's public one, maybe even more. Looking closely at the titles, she noticed there were also a few books on the Dark Arts. Well, no need to worry about accessing the restricted section anymore. She had all those books and more right here.
Hermione turned and walked to the right side of the room and up the door that led into what could only be the bathroom. She knocked on the door to be sure Malfoy wasn't in there. When no one responded she opened the door. If she hadn't been so amazed by the rest of the private dorm, she probably would have gasped at the bathroom. At the far end of the bathroom, in the left corner was a huge bath tub, big enough to comfortably fit 5 or 6 people. To the right was a large shower that could probably hold about 4 people. Lining the right wall, in front of the shower was a black, dark green, and maroon, swirled marble counter holding 2 sinks. Her toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, makeup and other such things were neatly set up around the sink nearest to her. It looked as though Malfoy's things were around the farthest sink. Two luxurious robes hung from the left wall, in front of the bath tub. One was dark green and the other was maroon. Stepping into the bathroom to take a closer look at things, she noticed all the facets were made out of solid gold.
Hermione exited the bathroom and decided to head out to the Gryffindor common room. She wanted to see everyone, introduce herself the first years, and tell Ron, Harry and Ginny all about her new door. They were most definitely all going to be jealous. Hermione smiled slightly as she walked out of her dorm and down the hallway.
