"My Heart Will Go On" Chapter 3: Surprises Are Great
**************************************************************************** **
Dean couldn't stop grinning like mad. There he was, walking with Hermione! She had gotten very pretty over the summer, & a bit stronger looking. He still wondered why she cried. He would ask her later...if he had the courage to. Pretty soon, they made it to the front of the train & climbed into the right front compartment. It was large enough to fit all of the prefects & the heads in there. He also saw Justin Finch-Fletchley, Susan Bones, & Hannah Abbot of Hufflepuff for prefects, Terry Boot, Mandy Brocklehurst, & Padma Patil for the Ravenclaw prefects, & the Head Boy & Girl, Lee Jordan & Angelina Johnson, from Gryfinddor. He turned to Hermione & saw her shocked. He was also shocked. Lee Jordan, Fred & George Weasly's best friend, Head Boy! It was a shocker. Lavender was also in there, & Malfoy & Parkinson, unfortunately. Dean took a seat next to Lavender, & Hermione took a seat next to Dean.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hermione noticed that Dean wouldn't stop grinning as they walked up to the front of the train. He looked cute like that. 'Did I just say he looked cute?!' It was Dean Thomas she was talking about! Well, she couldn't argue, he was good looking. She never really got to know him all these years at Hogwarts. She made a mental note to make sure she became better friends with him this year. At least they were both prefects. When they finally reached the compartment, Hermione looked around to see who was in there. She saw Justin Finch-Fletchley, Susan Bones, & Hannah Abbot of Hufflepuff for prefects, Terry Boot, Mandy Brocklehurst, & Padma Patil for the Ravenclaw prefects, & the Head Boy & Girl, Lee Jordan & Angelina Johnson, from Gryfinddor. She was shocked. Lee Jordan, Head Boy?! 'I bet Fred & George will be surprised when they see this,' she chuckled to herself. She also saw Malfoy, who was glaring at her, & Pansy. 'Just who I need to see: Malfoy & his prissy little girlfriend.' She took a seat next to Dean, who took a seat next to Lavender. She turned her attention to Angelina, who began to speak.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alright," Angelina started, "I have called you all here because I have a few announcements to make. First of all, the other 6th year prefects aren't here because they are going to have different responsibilities then you all this year. Professor Dumbledore decided to change the way prefects are going to look over the school, well, at least for you guys. The 6th year prefects will resume to do what they were doing last year, make sure no one gets into trouble & such. This year, you guys will be helping to prepare events that will take place at Hogwarts. For instance, there was a vote that there will be a Halloween Ball, Christmas Ball, & Valentine's Day Ball this year. Then, we're going to be holding cruise with Durmstrang & Beauxbatons from April 1st 'till April 14th." 'Oh great, at least Victor already graduated,' Hermione thought to herself. "And one more thing before you go back to your compartments. This year, all of the prefects will have their own common room & dorm rooms. That will mean that you will have your own room in a different, small tower. You'll see it after the Great Feast tonight. Have a great rest of the train ride."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hermione couldn't wait. Their own common room! The sad part was that Ron & Harry & Ginny weren't going to be sharing it with her. Too bad, though. She actually felt glad that she wasn't going back in her old Gryfinddor dorm room. She liked it & all, but she needed a change. 'I wonder what its going to look like,' she thought to herself. Also, there was going to be a cruise! Now that sounded awesome.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dean couldn't wait. A common room that he got to share with Hermione! Things couldn't get any better. Wait, they could. They were all going to go on a cruise! This was looking like a pretty good year. The bad part was that he wasn't going to share a room with Seamus, Neville, Harry, or Ron anymore. Well...he needed a change anyway.
Dean left the compartment, & Hermione followed, who was followed by Lavender. Lavender was mouthing to Dean, 'Ask her to hang out with us.' "Hermione?" "Yeah?" "DoyouwanttohangoutwithmeLavender&theothers?" "What?" Dean took a deep breath & repeated, "Do you want to hang out with me, Lavender, & the others?" "Suure." Yes! She said yes! He was about ready to bounce around. He did cool himself down enough to say, "Cool." "Well look who it is," someone sneered from behind him, Lavender, & Hermione. "Malfoy, Hermione said in a harsh sneer. "What are you doing here with your mudblood friend, Mudblood?" "Get lost Malfoy," Lavender demanded, stepping up to him. "What's a great psyhicatric lunatic going to do to me? Threaten me to my room?" He sneer as he saw that Lavender was about to cry, & she ran to the compartment where Seamus & Parvati would be. "That wasn't cool man," Dean said, now stepping up to him. "What's a great mudblood bloke going to do to me?" Malfoy sneered. "This." Dean shoved him to the ground, & whispered a charm that caused a tack to be down there for him. "Shit!" Malfoy yelped. "That's what you get Malfoy," Dean sneered as he motioned for Hermione to follow him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hermione was in shock. She couldn't believe Dean did that. She was glad he did that. The bloody prat deserved that. "Thanks Dean," Hermione exclaimed. Dean replied, No prob Hermione. I didn't like what he said about you & Lavender, plus, he was getting bloody annoying." Hermione had to laugh at this. She got up on her toes & gave Dean a hug, then waited for him to continue to his compartment. Dean blushed heavily, then continued, so Hermione kept following him, also starting to blush.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He couldn't believe it. 'SHE JUST HUGGED ME!' he thought happily. He blushed, hoping Hermione didn't notice, & continued to his compartment, where Hermione followed him.
