Hermione turned around to face her aggressor and found that it was
none other than Draco Malfoy.
"Get your hands off of me, Malfoy," she said as she reached for her wand.
"Do I have to?" he replied, and he took his hand away. "Heard you're going
to have a hearing tomorrow. Get in trouble with the ministry, eh?"
Hermione was getting angrier by the second. "That is none of your business, Malfoy," said Hermione as she took her three up to the Gryffindor common room. "Boy, he's awful," said Blair. "I know, at least you haven't had to go to school with him for the past five years," said Hermione, maliciously.
She got them up to the portrait of the Fat Lady, and told them about the passwords. "Each house, for example, Gryffindor, has its own living quarters and common room. This is the entrance to the Gryffindor quarters. You need a password to get inside; this guarantees that no dangerous or un-welcomed guests get into the Gryffindor house. Therefore, you must keep this password a secret. The password is 'lo spirito libero'."
The portrait swung open and they walked inside. "Now, I see that we have rooms for you three especially. They are right here," said Hermione as she pointed straight. "I'm not exactly sure, but I believe you have two full bathrooms and two bedrooms, one for Abram and the other for Blair and Kristina." "This is amazing," said Kristina. "And this is the common room. Gryffindors spend nights and time between classes here to talk with friends and do homework. It's this house that will become your family for the next two years. So," said Hermione as she sat in a red armchair and ushered the others to do so. "Where are you three from?" Hermione asked. "We're from Norway," said Abram. "Norway? I have family in Norway, that is so cool." "Yeah, but we had to leave, for our own safety." Said Kristina. "What do you mean? Your safety?" "Our parents are Aurors, and they are prime targets for Voldemort, therefore, we are prime targets. So, we moved here, the school is much more protected than our old one." Said Blair. "Well, the rest of the Gryffindors will be arriving soon, and it's getting late, so I have to patrol the halls. If you have any questions, ask any one and I'm sure they'd be glad to help you. I'm sorry, but I have to go!" said Hermione as she ran out of the common room and out of the portrait. She straightened her Prefect badge and walking briskly through the hallways.
As she went around the corner she saw Malfoy walking towards her. She felt her face get a little red, but she confronted him. "Malfoy, it's after ten o' clock and you should be in your common room. I am going to have to take five points from your house, and you will be informed of your detention tomorrow," said Hermione in a harsh tone. "Hermione, you are in so much trouble, and you don't even know it," Draco said with a smirk on his face. "What do you mean?" "I'm just warning you, Hermione. Watch yourself. You never know when someone will walk up behind you and try to snatch you!" said Draco. He emphasized the last two words as someone from behind Hermione grabbed her and held her in a tight lock.
