Chapter 7~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione woke up to sunlight peering through a window. She had a mostly sleepless night tossing and turning trying to figure out who the person she danced with was. Suddenly a realization came to her; it was her last night sleeping in Gryffindor house. Today she was moving to the Prefect common room.
She slipped of her bed and went to get clothes on but it was all gone except her robe. Unwillingly she walked down to her common room and was surprised to see Professor McGonagall waiting for her with her trunks.
"Miss Granger, I must bring you to your new common room." Harry and Ron were playing exploding snaps and she said goodbye to them.
Hermione silently followed McGonagall up to the fifth floor and a picture of Cinderella and Prince Charming. The other three prefects stood there with their house leaders and Dumbledore.
"The password is frog fritters (A/N- don't ask)," Dumbledore said as the portrait opened. The prefects were guided into a beautiful room. In the middle of the room as a roaring fireplace with a rug in front of it with the Hogwarts symbol on it. Surrounding the carpet were four couches, each with the color of its owners house. In the back of the room were humongous bookcases with ladders for each. There were two desks and rocking chairs. The far wall was bewitched like the ceiling in the Great Hall but you saw all of the grounds. On the left wall were huge tapestries with the house symbols and underneath the tapestries were staircases for each prefect's room. Also there were portraits of the founders scattered across the walls leading to the house common rooms. They all stared in awe at the room.
"Now you can see why it took us so long," Dumbledore said smiling at them.

Hermione after glancing at the books in their library (which she read a good portion of already) ran up to her bedroom. She gaped as soon as she walked in. There was a queen size bed with a silk crimson comforter and silk gold pillows. The canopy was draped in gold satin with sheer white curtain surrounding the bed. Behind her bed was an enormous bay window looking out onto the lake with the majestic mountains behind it. On the far side of the room was a sliding translucent glass door. She opened it and found an enormous closet. It seemed to be half of the size of her room already. She walked out of her closet smiling broadly and then entered another door on her left. She was amazed. It was a bathroom. A GIANT bathroom. The floor was white marble. To her left was a huge crimson marble counter with a mirror covering the back wall. Across from the mirror was a large shower (with the kind of thing that makes the water massage you). On the right side of the room was an enormous Jacuzzi tub with candles surrounding it. The walls surrounding the Jacuzzi were painted like a beach scene. In a small alcove the side stood a porcelain toilet (A/N- I'm sure you do not want to hear much about that).
Finally leaving her marvelous room she walked back down to her new common room. She saw the other prefects with their jaws down to the floor assuming their rooms were similar to hers.
They all walked over to their personal couches and sank into them.
"Don't get too comfortable, breakfast is in just half an hour," Dumbledore said exiting the common room.
Hermione went back up to her bedroom as the others did to get changed and thought to herself, "I suppose living here won't be so bad."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After changing into her Hogwarts robes Hermione met up with the other prefects and walked down to the Great Hall with them. The whole way Hermione and Mandy talked about how wonderful the common room is. The quartet walked in just as the food appeared on the tables. Hermione assumed her seat at her Gryffindor table across from Harry and Ron.
"So how's the room?" said Harry eagerly.
Hermione told her best friends all about how beautiful it was, trying as best she could to make them not feel bad about their living quarters, however she did not succeed.
"Man, I wish I were a prefect," Ron said grabbing a piece of bacon.
"By the way, are you sure you don't have any idea who that guys was at the masquerade?"
"I have absolutely no idea," Hermione said trying to think of who it could possibly be.
"Well you must get along pretty well for you to be kissing him like that," Ron said moving his tongue around outside of his mouth making him look like a completely idiot.
"Oh shut up,"
"Did he tell you anything?" Harry seemed so determined to figure this out. He wanted Hermione that she could trust. Not like Krum who she caught "massaging" another girls tonsils. This guy seemed decent so he figured he needed to find him for Hermione's sake.
"He told me to call him SAM, but the letters stand for something, you know an acronym," Hermione said trying to figure out what it could possibly stand for.
"Well that's helpful, there's only like, agabagillion possible combinations!" Ron said obviously feeling it was hopeless to find out.
"Oh shut up. Could you at least try to help her out?" Harry said going into deep thought.
The trio thought about it for a while.
"I know!" Ron said with Harry and Hermione staring at him yearning for the answer. "Stupid Ass Malfoy!"
They all laughed at this. By now the hall was starting to empty and the needed to get their thing for Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

After a long, exhausting day of classes Hermione walked into her common room, greeted Mandy and plopped on her couch. As soon as she sat an owl flew through the window and dropped a letter on her and swooped out. She cautiously opened it.
~
Princess Charming (a.k.a. Hermione)
I'm sorry I did not tell you who I was at the masquerade but I do not want to embarrass myself. I just want you to know that last night was one of the most enjoyable nights of my life. Thank you for sharing it with me.
~Another day is going by~
~I'm thinking about you all the time~
~But you're out there~
~And I'm here waiting~
With Love,
Your Cinderella (a.k.a. S.A.M. [try to figure it out])
~
"Simple Plan" Hermione said out loud after reading the letter smiling broadly.
"What?" Mandy said pooping up from her homework." Who's that from?"
"Cinderella,"
"What?" Mandy said looking at her as if she were crazy.
"He is the boy I danced with at the masquerade. He's Cinderella because I don't know who he is. For some reason I cant get him out of my mind. It's so strange but for some reason I feel like I have known him forever," Hermione explained to Mandy before going up to her room and placing the letter on her vanity. She now wanted to find him even more than ever.

A/N- another short chapter but I just can't put out long ones. You guys are probably thinking of who S.A.M. is but I have two possibilities so I may change it : D (so mean of me sorry) Please keep reviewing and I would be glad to use any input you give me. ~
