Settling In
The train journey went rather quick for Hermione. Too quick. It seemed as though she'd only settled on the train with her best friends, Harry and Ron, when they had already reached the Castle.
"So who d'ya reckon Head Boy is?" asked Ron
"I'm not really sure. I was hoping it might have been either you or Harry." Replied Hermione stepping off the train between the two boys.
"Me?" Ron said surprised
"Or me?" said Harry just as surprised as Ron.
"Yes. To both of you. You are both very favourable students, you know." She explained looking at them "After me, of course." She added smiling.
Ron pretended to gag by sticking two fingers down his throat while Harry muffled a laugh. Luckily for Ron, Hermione didn't see him. They entered the magnificent Castle to find it already decorated in the School House colours for the new first years that would be arriving shortly with Hagrid over the lake. Hermione smiled. God, it was good to be back. Professor McGonagall approached her carrying her usual stern expression.
"Good evening Miss Granger" she said
"Evening Professor" replied Hermione. She was getting rather nervous now.
"Do you have your badge Miss Granger?"
"Oh. yeah." She answered fumbling in her pocket, bringing out a small, silver badge bearing the letters HG and pinned it to her jumper.
"Good. Now I'm afraid you will have to leave Mr Weasley and Mr Potter here. You will see them when you receive your new timetable tomorrow at breakfast. Now follow me to your Dormitory, which you will be sharing with the Head Boy. " Informed McGonagall.
"Who is the new Head Boy?" questioned Hermione hurrying to keep up.
"You will find out soon enough, Miss Granger."
They climbed a flight of stairs and stopped in front of a painting of a pretty medieval maid.
"Password?" asked the maid bowing, her long, curly red hair falling over her face.
"Luxury" said McGonagall as the painting swung open to reveal stone steps which they quickly ascended. "Welcome to your new Dormitory."
Hermione looked around. It was a beautiful circular room decorated in silver and lilac. There was a crackling fire to her left and to her right was a magnificent bookshelf with two mahogany desks. She looked up at the ceiling, which was enchanted to allow fairies and cherubs to fly around silently, occasionally waving down. Hermione waved back beaming.
"Granger?!" came a familiar voice
"Malfoy?"
"Oh great! Just great. Why couldn't it have been anyone but you?" spat Malfoy looking her up and down.
"I'll leave you two to settle in" said McGonagall turning and leaving
"Where am I sleeping?" she asked Malfoy. He pointed to a set of stairs at the far end of the room. Hermione made her way to them and went up onto the next small landing where she found three doors. She opened the first to find Malfoys trunk already there.
"Wrong room, Granger"
Hermione jumped and spun round. "Sorry" she muttered
Malfoy smirked. "Yours is the end room."
Hermione made her way to the third door and peered inside just to make sure.
"I don't lie Granger if that's what your thinking." He leered at her.
"Since when?" she retorted as she opened the middle door to find the bathroom. It consisted of a large bath; large enough to be a Jacuzzi, a shower, sink, toilet and glass cabinet. Suddenly a thought struck her.
"Are we supposed to share this bathroom?!" she bellowed
"Well do you see another one?" said Malfoy rolling his eyes at her.
"Shit." Breathed Hermione
"What's wrong." said Malfoy coming very close to her. "Frightened I'll come in to take a piss and find you here, naked in the bath?"
"No" replied Hermione flatly. She was lying. What Malfoy had been exactly what she was thinking. What if he saw her naked? Or worse! What is she saw him naked?
"Don't worry, Granger. I don't bite." his breath ruffled her hair "hard." He finished, smirking as he left her alone in the bathroom completely outraged.
