I thanked them both awkwardly.
Having realized that I'd ruined their personal plans for the evening, I
turned to them both and said, "Look I'm sorry that I interrupted your
plans, and I'm extremely thankful that you've agreed to help me, but um.
could you give me some advice on how to get to. well. um. I actually don't
know where to go or what to do now."
Hermione gives Draco a meaningful look, and he seems to understand, and
nods his head thoughtfully at me. "It was nice to meet you Kate, see you in
class tomorrow. I presume you'll be staying?" He cocks his head to the
side, meaning for me to reply.
"Oh, yes.I guess so, until we can find a way for me to get back, it was nice meeting you too Draco, I mean .Malfoy, *I seem confused* oh what should I call you?"
" You can call me Draco. Malfoy, if you're angry at me, like everyone else seems to do." He turns to look at Hermione, and smirks in his usual way; yet he seems like a totally different person. "Bye, see you tomorrow.Draco." I say. "Bye!" Malfoy replies.
Hermione seems impatient. "Um.come on Kate, I'll .um.*Looks at Draco in a funny way*, I'll show you to a dorm, actually you can sleep in my one. Parvati and Lavendar aren't staying for the holidays." And she begins to walk towards the door, then turns her head to me and says " Coming?" But I know she's not looking at me, she's looking at Draco. As Hermione walks on I turn my head back to look at Draco; he sees me and nods. "Strange" I think. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I follow Hermione for a couple of doors down the corridor from where I appeared. We turned into a door to our right. A sign on the door announced "Hermione Granger, Parvati Patil and Lavendar Brown". This was all very fascinating to me because they had never shown the girls dormitories in all the Harry Potter movies.
We entered the room and I saw a medium sized room covered with the same red and gold wallpaper as the other room. Yet this room felt...well almost homely, I guess. There were 3 beds, each with a different bedspread and a single bedside table each with a gas lap on top. There was one wardrobe in the room, but it was divided onto three sections. One for every girl I presumed.
Hermione looked at me and then realized that she was still holding my book. "You don't mind if I borrow this for a few days, do you? She asked me. "Well, you make it seem like I'm going to be here a long time. But sure you're welcome to read it". I tell her. She smiles and turns towards the door. "Make yourself at home, there are pyjamas in the wardrobe. You can borrow my clothes, you look about my size. My section is the one nearest to my bed. The one on the right. (She points to a bed covered with an orange bedspread with a big fancy 'H' on it). Yes I presume you'll be here a while, this is a tricky one, I think I'll need this book to help me. Meanwhile you can put on some Pj's and just get used to the surroundings. Just don't go into the common room. People will become suspicious, since no ones seen you before. Well...(She fidgeted), I have to go, I've gotta have...um...A word with Draco. Goodnight Kate." "Thank you, goodnight" I say back.
Hermione walks out the door without further hesitation and leaves me standing in the cozy dormitory stunned and confused. "I'm living my dream of being at Hogwarts, and It's everything I imagined it to be".
After finding a cute pair of Pj's I hop into a bed in the centre of the room, and calmly drift off to sleep.
