New Discoveries.

Chapter 2: The New guy

After Getting off the train, They made their way to the Great Hall for dinner and for the sorting ceremony and on the way, Hermione made every boy in the corridor turn to look at her, some even whistled at her. She also got boys younger than her checking her out.

" I need food," Ron said hungrily, as he sat down between Harry and Hermione on the Gryffindor Table.

" Well, Duh we need food." Hermione told Ron. " We need food to survive."

" I need it NOW" Ron said as he put his head in his hands.

Hermione rolled her eyes and watch the first year's walk towards their tables. She watched as Dumbledore stand up to make an announcement.

" Excuse me, everyone." Dumbledore clapped his hands to get everyone's attention. " Today, we are very honored to present you with two exchanged student from America and will be joining the fifth and third years."

Whispers erupted in the hall; they have never had an exchanged student in years.

"Cook, Lisa" Professor McGonagall Shouted.

A 5'0"girl came in through the doors of the hall. She tied her hair up in a neat ponytail. She has blonde highlights in her brown hair. She has sparkling blue eyes and has a really pretty face.

Lisa sat on the stool and professor McGonagall put the hat on her head.

It took the hat 1 second to determine where to put her.

"GRYFFINDOR"

The girl jumped off the stool and went over to the Gryffindor table. As she made her way there, she spotted Hermione and stopped at her tracks and stared at where the golden trio sat.

"Oh no. Not another one of my fans." Harry whined.

Then the girl squinted her eyes at Hermione's back. Then Hermione turned to look at Harry's "Fan". Then the girl screamed.

"OH MY GOSH!!" The girl cried jumping up and down. " IT'S HERMIONE GRANGER!"

Then she fainted.

Madam Pomfrey came and carried her back to the hospital wing.

Then whispers broke throughout the hall.

"Okay. What was that about?" Lavender asked Hermione.

"Oh. I don't know." Hermione said innocently.

Oh man. Not another one of my fans. Hermione thought.

" Goodall, Adrian." Professor McGonagall Shouted. Then the hall silenced again.

As soon as she shouted his name, the hall doors opened and a 7'0" boy with spiky raven hair and blue eyes, with a very tanned and handsome face, stepped in the hall and walked towards the sorting hat. Many girls were sighing dreamily at Adrian and the boys were narrowing their eyes at him.

When he sat down, he threw a really sexy smile to the whole hall and one of the girls from ravenclaw fainted.

" What's wrong with all the girls in the hall?" Ron asked.

" Hermione doesn't have a problem with him" Harry told Ron and pointed at Hermione who was watching Adrian with a smirk on her face.

After he said that, they heard Lavender sigh and have this dreamy look on her face. Hermione rolled her eyed.

" Oh, cut it out. It's not like he is that nice to look at." Hermione scolded Lavender. " He is just like any boy in this hall!!"

" But he's so handsome." Lavender trailed off on the last word.

Harry, Ron and Hermione rolled their eyes.

Harry looked around the halls, behind every girl, there are boys rolling their eyes. Except-

" Hey, Ron." Harry poked Ron, who was still complaining about his food.

" What" Ron said with an annoyed look in his face.

" Look at malfoy." Harry said, smiling and pointed at Malfoy.

Ron looked at Malfoy who was arguing with pansy who was trying to ice his groin. Then, he let out fits of laughter. Hermione, who was watching Ron point at Malfoy. Laughed too. And everyone who was watching Ron point at Malfoy laughed too. And in 5 seconds, the whole Gryffindor was laughing and pointing at Malfoy, which got malfoy really red in the face.

" GRYFFINDOR" The sorting hat shouted

Then the hall erupted in noises and Groans from all the girls at the other tables and cheers from the Gryffindor were heard. As Adrian made his way towards the seat opposite Hermione, the girls he passed sighed and looked at him as he smiled at Hermione.

Then food started to appear in front of them.

" FINALLY!" Ron said as he started eating a chicken drumstick hungrily.

When Adrian reached the bench, He was about to sit when Hermione put her feet on the bench opposite of her.

" This seat's taken" Hermione said, smirking at him.

" Are you crazy Hermione?" Lavender whispered to her.

" No, I'm not crazy." Hermione turned to face her. " Obviously, you are the one that's crazy over a boy that only exists in your dreams."

Then almost everyone in the hall went quiet and listened to them.

" May I ask, who is sitting in this seat?" Adrian asked Hermione, frowning.

Hermione just yawned and smirked at him. " No, you may not ask and for your information, this seat here is saved for someone who actually has a life!"

Gasps where heard all over the hall.

Then, Adrian Smiled.

" Right you are," He said slowly, Still smiling.

Then suddenly, Hermione broke into a smile and stood up.

" Come here you!' Hermione said and pulled him into a hug.

"How are you?" Adrian asked sitting down on the bench.

" Great!" Hermione replied sitting down again.

Whispers where heard throughout the halls. "The new hot guy knows bookworm Granger?" " Whoa. Granger looks hot"; " Did you hear she punched malfoy on the train?"

" So. Hermione, Aren't you going to introduce us?" Lavender asked smiling at Adrian while nudging Hermione with her elbow.

" Wak?" Hermione said while eating a mango pudding.

"Oh. You waff me fo inffoufuse-" Hermione said through a mouth full of pudding. " Sorry. Ok. Addy, this is Lavender Brown"

" Hi lavender." Adrian said and stuck out his hand for him to shake.

" Hi Adrian," Lavender said. She blushed and put her hand on his hand to shake it, but instead, he kissed it. Lavender giggled and Adrian smiled.

" Addy, this is Harry Potter." Hermione introduced.

" Hi Harry." He held out his hand " Pleasure meeting you."

"Same here." Harry said as he shook his hand.

" Adrian, Ron." Hermione said as she poked her fork lightly on his side.

" Waugh????" Ron said as he stuffed his face out of the chicken.

"Erm. Nothing." Hermione said. Shaking her head to Adrian.

Adrian just gave her a smile and headed towards the pile of chicken.

After they finished their dinner, they went up to the Gryffindor tower. When they went in the common room, they all sat down in their chairs, they start to relax.

" So. Anybody in for chess?" Hermione asked.

"But Hermione, you don't play chess!" Harry told her.

"Times change, Harry." Hermione said as she pulled out a chessboard. "So. Who's in?"

"I'm in." Ron said.

"Betcha 5 knuts Ron wins." Dean said smiling.

"Me too." Fred said.

"I bet 10 knuts on Ron" George said.

"In for Ron" Seamus joined in counting his coins. " Erm 5 knuts."

"15 knuts" Adrian said with a mischievous smile as he put his coins on the table. "On Hermione"

Everyone looked at him with wide-eyes.

"Are you SURE?" Ron asked Adrian.

"Yup. Did you ever see her play?" Adrian asked crossing his hands on his chest.

"Erm." Ron stuttered. "Not really."

"So?" Adrian said with a smirk.

"I'm in for Hermione too" Ginny said flashing a smile to Hermione

"How much??" Hermione asked.

"5 Knuts" Ginny said taking 5 knuts out of her pocket.

"Okay then." Hermione said raising her eyebrow. "Are you ready to play, Ron?"

"Bring it on" Ron said making is first move.
