A/N. I wrote this write after Chapter 1, so it may not be up to scratch, so review and tell me! Don't laugh at the chapter name, I couldn't think of anything else!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. Call me when Draco goes up for grabs! LOL.

Ch. 3: How to End a Silent Day

Hermione was woken up by Harry who was nudging her slightly saying, "Wake up Hermione. We're here."

She opened her eyes groggily and looked at the ceiling. She quickly got up and stuffed her Arithmancy (book which was on the ground) into her trunk and followed her two friends.

The sound of the whistle and the screams of steam woke Draco up. He had fallen onto the seat and slept lying down. Quickly gathering his things, he headed towards the horse-less carriages.

10 minutes later, everyone was in the Great Hall and was watching the Sorting. It finally ended with Yanush, George (Ravenclaw) and Dubledore made a few quick announcements. "This Halloween we will have a sort of music recital. Every student, who has a musical talent, whether it is singing or playing an instrument, is welcome to be on our list of volunteers. It will be sort of a ball, but all of the music will be soft and smooth. There will be an array of instruments ready to use. Masks are to be worn at all times until midnight, which is when the ball will end. The deadline for all candidates will be the end of next week. And the sign-up form will be in the library. The annual Yule Ball will be help this Christmas as well. Now let's dig in!"

Suddenly the golden plates were stocked with food and the people were having the time of their lives. Some people discussed the concert recital.

"I might sing!"

"I can play the piano!"

"My mum taught me some harp playing."

By the end of the feast, everyone was full and tired and made their ways to their common rooms. Nearly Headless Nick, the Gryffindor ghost, welcomed everyone to Gryffindor for this year. They entered the common room after giving The Fat Lady the password (sugarplums). Quickly after entering, Professor McGonagall rushed in. "Miss Granger! Please come here!"

Hermione walked over, "Yes Professor."

"Please take all your belongings and follow me please."

Hermione ran upstairs and grabbed her trunk. On the way down, she saw Harry's and Ron's confused looks and she shrugged back.

"Excellent! I need to take you to your new quarters. Mr. Malfoy is waiting."

"New quarters?" Hermione asked, "What new quarters?"

"Your new Head Girl quarters! As Head Girl, you get your own study and room."

Amazed, Hermione continued to follow Prof. McGonagall. They finally stopped at a statue of a dragon. And there was Draco leaning on it. "Hello, Mr. Malfoy. This is the entrance to your new quarters. You password is "icicle". Let's go is no." Said Prof. McGonagall.

They gave the password and the dragon stepped aside, revealing an elegant doorway. Inside the main study was an extravagantly furnished room. It was painted royal blue with gold patterns along the wall edges. Two armchairs and a red couch facing a roaring fire and the room was symmetrical. Desks on either side with a small shelf of books and comfy chairs. And finally two doors. The right-handed door had a curvy gold D and the left-handed door had a gold H. "You can figure out which room is which. Inside are your bedrooms. Each with your own bathroom and a dresser for your clothes. You can put your books on the shelves here or in your rooms. There is a door in your room Hermione, to Gryffindor Common Room. Which only you can open. And Draco, a door in your room to Slytherin Common Room. Only you can open that door as well. No visitors from your houses in here, and they cannot enter your rooms. If there aren't and questions, I'll leave you two to get settled."

Neither Draco nor Hermione spoke. Prof. McGonagall nodded and turned on the heel and left the room.

There was still silence, but it wasn't from awe of the room, it was from the fact that neither of them knew what to say to each other. Draco broke the silence, "Well…er…good night Granger." He started to walk to his part of the room.

"Good night…Draco." Hermione answered and walked to her room and inside. Draco stood there She called me Draco he thought before going to bed himself.
