Chapter 16: The Party and the First Semester at Hogwarts
At the party Hermione received many things. Her favorite present was a little hand held computer for typing in the middle of class. The best moment was giving back her spell phone and pocket keeper. She then thought, Yes! I never have to answer to him again! Booya!
When she handed him the phone and keeper he looked more hurt than happy. Then, he bounced back and gave them to Susan. Hermione's heart wrenched when Susan put the phone in her pocketbook.
Then, Carter came up and had to say something, "I wrote a poem for Hermione's going away:
You were our boss.
We are dealing with a great loss.
We will miss you even if sometimes you were cross.
See ya later Hoss."
"Very nice, but what does Hoss mean?" Hermione asked.
"It's some muggle slang for a bloke. I didn't know any other words that ended in -oss so I was stuck," Carter said as he hugged her goodbye.
Draco came up to her and handed her a little box with a watch in it. The watch was solid gold with crystal numbers and quartz timing. It must have cost a bundle. "Thank you Malfoy, whenever I look at the time I'll think of the heartless soul who tried to tear down the school that we went to," she said coldly.
"I'm glad I'll be in your thoughts," he said.
With that she left the office and went to her house to get her things packed for the school. Like a student she would be living in the school too. She had put the flat up on the market and was letting the realtor deal with it.
She drove her car to Ron's first; his fiancée insisted on coming and then Harry's house was on the way too so she picked him up also. They got to the train station in two hours. On the train Ron and Madilyn snogged the whole way and Harry and Hermione sat quietly reading about their new fortes. After another few hours they reached the school.
When they got there Professor McGonagall was waiting for them. They were shown to their rooms; all three were in a row. Hermione took the smallest because she didn't need so much room. Ron and Madilyn took the one in the middle, which meant no silent sleep for Hermione or Harry. Lastly, Harry took the last room which was available.
Hermione looked over the students in her class. There were about 30 children. That's much larger than the classes when she went to school. She taught seven classes a day, all different levels too. Near her phone was a list of the teachers, there was still Snape and even Hagrid was still here.
I wonder what they look like. Hermione thought with anticipation. But she couldn't wait to start teaching. She put all of her clothes in her closet and then looked around the room. She noticed that there was a red and blue robe on the coat rack. "Whose robe is that?" Hermione said out loud.
No one answered so she just supposed it was to be given to her. After all, it was customary to wear a robe over your clothes in the school. The colors were not her best, but they would do until she could buy her own. She had enough money, but it was the fact that she needed some time to get settled first.
