The Great Hall was filled with students awaiting the feast.

The Sorting Ceremony had just come to end and now the growling

of stomachs could be heard. Professor Dumbledore stood and

commanded attention, for he had his announcements.

"I would like to welcome the First years to Hogwarts and also

welcome the other students for their return." He continued with

his yearly speech about the Forbidden Forest and about the third

floor corridor before he got to the Head Girl and Boy announcement.

"The Head Girl this year is Hermione Granger!" There was a generous

amount of applause from the Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff

tables. Silence from Slytherin. "I am also pleased to announce that

our Head Boy is none other than Harry Potter!" Thunderous applause

from the Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables. Thunderous

silence and lots of glaring from the Slytherins.

"Lastly, I would like to welcome a visitor to Hogwarts. Seritas Snape,

Professor Snape's mother. She will be here for a short while, so please

be kind and if she has any questions, please answer them if you can.

Thank You. On that note, let the feast begin!" He clapped his hands once

and the tables were covered in food.

"Wonder why the Giant Bat's mum is visiting," Ron said through a mouthful

of chicken wing.

"Ugh, Ron could you please not speak when your mouth is full of supper? I

don't really want to see it." Hermione said disgustedly.

He swallowed, "Sorry 'Mione."

"Yeah, I wonder why she's here." Harry wondered as well as he absentmindedly

played with his shiney Head Boy badge.

Hermione took a sip of her pumpkin juice, "What I am wondering more about

then Snape's mum, is where we will be staying. Each House only has on Head

Room. We both can't use it!"

"That is right!" Harry exclaimed, the situation finally dawning on him.

"What is Dumbledore going to do about this?"

Just then, two owls flew into the Hall and dropped letters in front of

Harry and Hermione and took off. They requested the attendance of both of

them in the Headmaster's office after the feast.

-----

"I have called you both here to discuss your living arrangements." Dumbledore

explained. "We can't very well have you two sharing the room."

The Headmaster predictibly offered them both a candy. Harry accepted and

popped it in his mouth right after asking what they were going to do.

"I have arranged for one of you to have a room down in the dungeons. I am

sorry about the location, but it was the only available area."

Harry made a face, clearly not wanting to be the one chosen to go down there. Hermione spoke up. "I would like to take the room. It is closer to the

library and I think that it will work out best for me."

Harry let out a visible breath of gratitude. Dumbledore agreed and Harry

was sent off to get his things sent up to his new room.
