"My Heart Will Go On" Chapter 5: The World Of Colorful Rooms

**************************************************************************** **

Hermione was glad that she was sitting with Dean on her one side & Parvati on her other & Seamus across from Dean & Lavender across from her & Neville across from Parvati. She could feel Ron giving her an evil stare the whole feast. She started feeling upset because of how it was probably her fault he did what he did. Parvati & Lavender kept telling her it wasn't her fault, but she didn't believe them that much. Overall, the sorting was alright. They received ten new Gryfinddors. After they ate, Angelina took her, Dean, & Lavender aside & said, "C'mon. Its time to see your new rooms." "Alright, see you guys later," the three of them said as they followed Angelina up a couple of staircases. Finally, they came up to a picture of a rainbow during the night with silver stars surrounding it. She touched the purple color of the rainbow & it opened up to a portrait hole. They followed Angelina in & gasped in awe.

Their common room was all different colors, from spring green to pink. It was a very colorful room. There were three squishy arm chairs, which were indigo with a light green pillow each, a huge, light blue, squishy couch with silver pillows, & two love seats that were red with light pink pillows. The floor was oak wood, & there was a huge rug where the couches were that had the Hogwarts badge on it. There was also an oak table on top of the rug. Lee Jordan & the other prefects were also in there, goggling over how the common looked like. "This is your common room," Angelina smiled. "Wow," Hermione said to herself. Dean & Lavender were also impressed. "Over there are the staircases that lead to your rooms. Each staircase is the color of the house prefects that are in them & it also has your house mascot on the top of the entry way. You will find your room by finding your name on your door. Your name will be in the two colors that your room is. Enjoy." The heads smiled as the prefects found their staircases & looked for their rooms.

Lavender's room was the first room they came to. Lavender opened the door & Hermione & Dean followed her into her room. They all gasped. Her room had lavender walls with glowing silver stars all over it. Her bed had lavender, silk sheets, with silver silk pillows, silver frame, & lavender drape. She also had oak drawers & an oak door that opened to oak stairs that lead to the bathroom that she, Hermione, & Dean would be sharing. She also had a huge window that had a great view of the lake. "You're room looks great Lavender!" Hermione gasped in excitement. "I know! I can't believe this is my room!" Lavender squealed in agreement. "Alright, let's get to my room! If hers looks great, mine better look good!" Dean exclaimed happily & ran up the stairs more. Hermione & Lavender just chuckled & followed him. Hermione hoped that her room would look cool.

When they came to Dean's room, he could hardly breath as he took in his room. His walls were a deep red with gold suns rotating around his room. His bed had deep red silk sheets, gold silk pillows, & a gold frame. His drawers were also oak wood & he had an oak door that opened to the bathroom he, Hermione, & Lavender shared. He also noticed that their bathroom had a white marble floor with gold & scarlet walls, a marble counter, three marble sinks, a huge mirror, marble tube with gold knobs, & marble, single shower with golds knobs. It also had three marble stalls with marble toilets in them with a gold flusher. He also had a huge window, like Lavender's, that had a great view of the lake. "You're room's awesome Dean!" Hermione exclaimed once again. "Just like you," Lavender sneered. Dean smiled, then said, "Come on, let's go see Hermione's room now!" As the girls ran up to Hermione's room, he took in his room & sighed. It was worth being a prefect...definitely.

It was now Hermione's turn to be shocked as she opened the door to her room. Her room had deep sky blue walls with bright white clouds floating around them. Her bed look exactly like Lavender's, except she had deep sky blue silk sheets, bright white pillows, bright white frame, & deep sky blue drape. Her drawers were also oak wood & she had an oak door that opened to steps that lead to their bathroom. She also had a huge window that had a great view of the lake. "Your room's amazing," Lavender gasped. "I know," Hermione replied, smiling like an idiot. Dean also commented, "Your room shows your side perfectly." They smiled at each other. They then heard Lavender said, "Guys, look! The stairs lead up higher!" They then ran out of Hermione's room & went higher.

They gasped as they opened one last oak door. It lead to a lovely balcony with two scarlet lounge chairs with gold cushions. "This-is-amazing!" Hermione gasped. Lavender & Dean nodded in agreement, too shocked to speak. This was the best view of the grounds they've ever seen. They could see everything: Hagrid's hut, the Quidditch pitch, the lake, the Forbidden Forest, EVERYTHING. It was truly magnificent. A yawn suddenly escaped Hermione, followed by a yawn from Lavender, then from Dean. "We better get to bed. We have classes tomorrow," Hermione stated, relucently starting to leave the balcony. "Yeah," Lavender & Dean agreed, following Hermione off the balcony, each saying good night as they entered their rooms.

After Hermione got dressed for bed, she truly felt happier than she felt in a long time, even if Ron was mad at her. She didn't care if he was mad at her. She had other friends now, & they made her feel happy. She started to think of things, like what happened about her defending for Dean. Was she starting to like him? 'Nah,' she thought to herself. She couldn't, but as she slowly fell asleep, she started doubting her mental note.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Dean was ready for bed, he just laid there for a few minutes, thinking about the day. He seemed to like Hermione more & more. Now there was a bit of hope that she would start to like him too, since they talked all day...well...a lot anyway. Maybe there was a chance. As he fell asleep, he was slowly falling harder for Hermione. Hopefully she knows how to catch, because it looks like Dean is going to be needing that catch someday soon.
