Chapter 3: The Feast and The Common Room
Hermione got a carriage with Harry, Ron, and Ginny and they rode to Hogwarts in comfortable silence and entered the Great Hall along with the other returning students.
Everyone was complimenting Hermione on her new look. She just smiled at them and said thank you or something similar.
While everyone was sitting down finding friends and such the Great Hall was noisy and stayed that way until Prof. McGonagall brought the first years in. Hermione clapped along with the rest as all the new students were sorted and took their seats.
The Hall got very quite as Dumbledore stood and said two words: Tuck in. With that the tables filled with food and drink and the students began to eat, drink, and tell their friends about their summers. Harry and Ron talked of nothing but Quidditch and tryouts for the new players as Harry had been named captain of the Gryffindor house team and they needed a few new players as most of the old team had graduated the previous year.
Hermione tuned them out as she ate her food and thought about what Malfoy had said to her on the train. She would find out if he meant what he said or if he was just messing with her. Let the games begin. She thought smiling to herself she'd learned a lot over the summer. If he thinks he can play games with me he's got another thing coming.
The rest of the feast passed uneventfully. The Hall got quiet as McGonagall tapped her glass and Dumbledore stood up to make his usual announcements. Welcome to Hogwart's to our first year students and Welcome back to all who have returned to us. As always the Forbidden Forest is forbidden. The list of items that are not permitted in the school can be viewed in Mr. Filch's office if you wish to know what this list consists of please feel free to see him. Also I would like to introduce this year's Head Boy Mr. Draco Malfoy and this year's Head Girl Ms. Hermione Granger. If you will both please come forward and follow Profs. McGonagall and Snape to your new dormitories. The entire hall burst into loud cheers as they made their way to the Staff table and followed the Heads of their respective Houses out of the Great Hall. When the Hall quieted Dumbledore spoke again. Now that we are fed and watered Prefects will lead their Houses to their dormitories I think we should all sleep well tonight. Goodnight. The Hall erupted once more as students scattered to their respective Houses for bed.
Meanwhile Prof. McGonagall and Prof. Snape were taking Hermione and Draco to their new common room. They stopped in front of the first Head Boy and Girl in Hogwart's History. They stood in silence for a moment.
Snape spoke first, This is your new common room the password will be United we Stand, You may change it at will as long as you both agree to the new password.
They entered a Common Room that was slightly smaller than their previous Common Rooms. The walls were painted a deep scarlet red with forest green carpets scattered over a hardwood floor. There were separate study alcoves with books, and matching chairs and desks decorated with their respective house colors. There was a huge fireplace with a tapestry of the Hogwarts crest on the wall above it. There was a couch and two armchairs in green and the same in scarlet with silver and gold pillows on them. There was a balcony that encircled the entire room with three doors and two sets of stairs. To the right was a door embossed with the Gryffindor house crest labeled Head Girl and to the left a door embossed with the Slytherin crest labeled Head Boy in the middle was a door with the school crest embossed on it, which they assumed this was the bathroom.
This will be your home for your last year with us. said Prof. McGonagall. Ms. Granger your room is on the right. Mr. Malfoy yours is on the left, in the middle is you bathroom. You also have passages that lead to your respective Houses common rooms in your bedrooms. These may only be used by yourself if anyone else attempts to enter them they lead to the Entrance Hall and trouble.
Tonight at midnight you will need to patrol the halls together. Snape continued, You two will have to this, together, on Mondays the prefects will take care of it the rest of the week. I believe that is all you need to know from us. Goodnight. He then turned and swept out of the room.
Well as Prof. Snape said you have all you need. If you'll excuse me I must be off. Goodnight. McGonagall then left the two of them alone.
Draco and Hermione stood there for a few seconds looking at one another and then the turned and went to their respective rooms.
Draco sat in his room, which was decorated in the Slytherin colors of green and silver, and thought of what to do until he had to patrol the halls. He decided to sleep and laid down on top of the covers and drifted almost immediately to sleep.
Meanwhile Hermione went strait through her room, decorated in scarlet and gold, to the passage way to her old common room to spend time with her friends.
