CHAPTER 32-A NEW START AND OLD FEELINGS
HERMIONE'S POV
We had finally left the Owlery and everyone walked behind the headmaster of Durmstrang, Professor Kilkylard. The younger students had already been taken long ago to their living quarters, for they were much younger, and it was much harder to take from their minds of what was written in those letters.
I on the other hand felt no different. My head felt light, almost as light and empty as my heart felt when I read my father's words. I missed him soo much, and my mother, and the baby that I wasn't aware of who would of become my brother or sister. My knees began to get wobbly as it felt as if they were falling asleep and someone was pouring sand into them, stiffening them up. My eyes kept blinking madly as if I was to faint right now as we walked, but I tried to hold a grip on myself as much as I could.
I looked around for a sight of Draco, I needed him right now more then ever, I needed to talk to him, feel his strong protective arms around me, feel his breath on my neck, his comfort words. But when I turned around he was walking behind a group of Slytherin students with Pansy at his side, his arm around her shoulders, she looked more devasted then pleased as she would always look like when she got Draco's attention. Then I looked up at Draco, who seemed to be deep in though. His eyes like ice, his face paler then ever, I finally wondered to myself, what his letter wrote, and I promised myself that if I got the chance for the two of us to be alone, I would ask him.
"Well here we are." Called out Professor Kilkylard, finally prying my attention and thoughts to something more pleasant.
We had finally arrived to where we would be staying. It was a hotels sorta of thing when we reached the end of the long lighted hallway that we seemed were walking down for hours. As we walked more deeply into the heavily lighted area of giant chandelabras adorning the whole ceiling, and gold and yellow painted walls. The floor was placed with thick heavy detailed oriental looking rugs. Everyone stood around finally gasping and whooing at the wonderful and golden beauty of what Durmstrang was. And I, since I have never been to this part of the castle, was truly in awe myself.
Everyone stood in the middle of the room, watching a bunch of wizards and witches looking their best and passing by, some of them guest, some of them teachers, and some who were just visiting. Professor Kilkylard, Professor Dumbledore and Professor Elloyha were the ones who approached the receptionist desk to be awaited upon. The other Hogwart teachers were already in with the younger students.
"Hello Elphalba dear, here is another piece of the big Hogwarts party." Announced Kilkylard looking over each and every one of us.
Elphalba was the receptionist of the hotel sort of place we would be staying in. But she looked awfully meanacing compared to the glamour of the entire place. Just by looking at her I could tell she didn't like children, or in our matter, young teenagers. She was awfully skinny, not a curve or breast in sight. She was flat everywhere, and every bone in her body was plane in sight underneath her wrinkly newspaper like skin. She wore a big black brim hat, much like you would see on those cheesy old movies in the muggle world, where they think Witches where old black hats and black capes. Her face was a horrible pale and greenish color, with a big fat wort on her chin. Her gown clunged on her like an old sack, and she glared at all of us.
"More students? Ugh." she looked down and began to write.
Professor Kilkylard gave her a glare that could kill and then he sheepishly turned to all us and smiled embarassingly and said, "This is Maddam Elphalba, you will find that she can be quite sarcastic at times." He laughed slightly.
She looked up questionly and said, "Who's being sarcastic?" But Professor Kilkylard cut her off when Lavendor Brown had put up her hand.
"Yes miss?" he said almost relieved that she put her hand up.
"Elphalba? Isn't that the name of the Wicked Witch of the West? I read in a book once that is was." At this comment both Maddam Elphalba and Professor Kilkilard looked at each other and then to Lavendor.
"I knew I should of never released that biography to the muggle world, I knew it! Anyways you chattering young girl, it's none of your business who I am!! Anyways, you older lot will be staying to my right and up the invi- staircase. Every morning you shall be up at 8 on the dot, and we will be finished your trainning by 12. You have the rest of the day to do as you wish. And for those of you who wish to cause mischief, I will be keeping an eye on you, I have experiece in your sort!!" she yelled out, still angry at Lavendor's remark.
"Hahahahaha, well shall we?" Professor Kilkylard laughed again trying to break the silence. He began to walk to the right of the receptionist desk and stood and to my amazement put one step up and rised.
We all looked at him in astonishment when he turned around to see that we were not following.
"Loco, they don't know what an Invi'staircase is." Professor Elloyha demanded, her arms folded upon her chest firmly.
"Oh?" he just said turning to us again. "This is an Invi Staircase for security purposes children. It just means that there is a staircase here but it is invisible, so walk carefully you wouldn't want to fall off. You will always know that you are standing in the middle of if for the slight marks on the floor in front of is, okey?" I nodded along with the rest of everyone else.
We all walked carefully upon the invisible staircase, trying to remain our balance, it was quite difficult, I felt I was walking on air. Thankfully walking up this stair made everyone more aware of their physical surroundings instead of our emotional being, therefore some of us giggled, and some of us laughed, it was great fun.
Finally we had arrived the hallway that would take us our rooms. There were about 12 doors, 6 on each side, and on each door there was a painting, and with a password I assumed.
In each room there would be 4 of us. Of course it would be of the same gender. I stayed in a room with Ginny, Lavender and Pavarti. My door had a beautiful Mermaid on it, which I did not like, it only reminded me of the time that Krum saved me from the water in year 4. Our password was "Catfish", and then before walking in I turned around to see where Draco's room would be and when I turned 3 doors ahead of mine was his room, he looked to me as I did to him, he just gave me a reassuring smile that made me feel warm all over and made me smile. I finally walked into the new room where I would be staying.
It was still quite beautiful, ironiclly nothing like our Hogwarts room, my Hogwarts room which I missed sooo much.
This room was based on the colors and theme of the painting that was upon the door of our room.
Aquatic metallic colors everywhere giving us the sense that we were in water. There were four different beds, two on each side, quite big twin sized beds. And each of them had our name placed on the blankets in silver colors. Each bed was of a different shade of metallic blue.
Mine was a Metallic Aqua almost greenish blue. Ginny's bed, which was beside mine, was a Metallic Baby Blue, which she adored by jumping on top of it immediately, her face to her pillow. Pavarti's was a Metallic Navy Blue, which was on the opposite side of the room beside Lavender's that was a Metallic Sea Blue.
In the middle of the cealing there was a giant round light that gave enough light for the whole room. And coming from the centre of the room were giant drapes, covering the whole ceiling. A giant drape of Aqua went towards my bed, as so did a Baby blue one towards Ginny's bed, and so on for Lavendor and Pavarti.
I had to admit the room did look beautiful, it was amazing, and full of wonderful glitz and glamour. Just the sight of it got Pavarti and Lavendor going on about dresses and makeup, they both sat on Lavendor's bed legs crossed talking none stop.
Ginny soon approached and began to draw on a piece of paper what her ball dress looked like. I smiled to myself and approached as well, sitting on the edge leaning on Lavendor and began telling them about the makeup kit I had bought in the summer before coming to school. We had so much fun talking about nonsense and forgeting about the troubles that arised for us each day. The room was beautiful and amazing, so I guess the stay wouldn't be that bad, would it?
HARRY'S POV
We had finally reached our room. We were in front of our door with what seemed to be a Karate Kid on it. He was practicing his moves and kicks before us which we all thought was pretty cool.
It was Ron, Neville, Seamus and me staying in this room, so the company wouldn't be bad at all. But what I pictured in my mind was nothing like what the room turned out to be. I expected something like the Dursleys home, neat and clean and perfect in every single way, but it was totally the opposite.
The Karate Kid had finally stopped showing off and told us the password, which was "Konichiwa". When I walked into the room I could not believe my eyes on how perfect it was for us. The whole room was of colors black, red, grey and white. There were four separate quite comfortable looking beds for the each of us. Each of them had a strange Japanese looking symbol on them, and then our names underneath it in very choppy looking stick letters. The walls were made of a wood panelling, as so were the floors. In some section of the wood there would be Japanese letters written in it. I went over to my bed, which was the color of Black. Ron's was red (what a coincidence), Seamus was white and Neville's was grey.
Each and every one of us thought the room was wicked, as we got so inspired, we began to wrestle each other, and play drop kicks on each other. Ron had me locked under his arm, while I just finished punching him in the chest, Neville was grabbing my leg, and Seamus was pretening to kick Neville. We all laughed and laughed, and I thought that it was great to forget about Magic for once and play like regular kids. But it wouldn't last, would it?
DRACO'S POV
Hermione looked at me before entering her room and I smiled at her, trying to show her that I will be here for her, closer then she thinks, hoping she will take comfort that I was near by, just as I was taking comfort that she was. She finally entered her room, as I turned to look at my door, which had painting of Knight in shinning black and silver armor. He stood beside his horse, patting him on the neck, the other hand on his sword that hung to his waist, he gave us proud smirk But before telling us the password, his face grew serious and looked at me, then Flint and then to Goyle.
"Where is the other one?" he asked us questionly "There supposed to be four of ya?"
"You Mr.Malfoy, your Mr.Flint, and your Mr.Goyle, where is Mr.Crabbe?" he asked again.
Now I understood, these arrangements where done along time ago, when we had started school in September probaly, or even earlier. So the Professor's had planned for the 4 of us to be staying together.
"Sorry, he doesn't go to our school anymore." I told him, not giving anymore details that I pretended I didn't know.
"I see." He smirked at us again and patted his horse, and then told us the password. Which was "Gothic Age". And we entered our room, which was more like entering another times and place. It was decorated in a medieval almost Gothic look. There were heavy red rugs all over the floor, and the furniture, as the beds and bedside tables and closets were made of a thick heavy wood. The walls were a concrete cement and pebble.
The room was lighted by candles, which were hung on the walls, but never seemed to run out. There were four beds, all of them black, and each other them had a picture on it above our names. Mine had a knight's helmet, Goyle's had a mace, and Flints had a horse and what would have been Crabbe's ironicly had a leg of a chicken. As we finished looking around, we all stood around in silence, as if we were uncomfortable with the silence, when Flint finally asked us if we were up for a game of cards.
Both Goyle and I smiled and the three of us sat in a circle on the floor, and Flint began shuffling the cards. An ordinary muggle game of cards. In a few minutes we all began to laugh and punch Goyle in the arm for trying to cheat, I laughed even harder when Flint told us that his gilfriend dumped him, cause she thought he needed braces. It finally felt as if we were back In first year, nothing but our own enjoyment on our mind, so I guess nothing bad would happen to us here. Would it?
HERMIONE'S POV
I sat in the great guest hall, with Ron and Harry on each of my side, Ginny, Seamus, Pavarti and Lavender and Dean in front of us, Pansy beside Harry, Draco in front of Pansy, and beside him were Goyle, and beside Pansy was Flint. All of us older kids stuck together now, there was no more fights between Griffindor or Slytherin, because right now, it didn't seem to matter, and it was as if we all annousmously finally grasped that. Some Slytherin's of course, would go to themselves, as so did some Griffindors did, but mostly we all tried to get along, for that we were in a new school and place. I guess we all knew once we had returned to Hogwarts, the rivalry would be back, but until then, it was as if nothing.
"Can't believe we are starting that trainning crap today." Ron finally said breaking the silence of our breakfast.
"He's right. Why the bloody hell do we need to train?" Ron looked toward where the voice was coming from and it was Pansy.
"Ya.. Ya your right!" he said to her giving her a slight almost a smile.
"I know I am." She said back, giving him one and only a wicked smile back.
I turned to Draco and laughed slightly, as so did he, soon Harry and Ron and everyone else began to laugh. In the end none of knew why were laughing and what the reason behind it was, I think we all knew that it felt so good, and we missed it so much.
Soon our laughter was interrupted when 3 stranged students came up to us.
"Well well, if it isn't the Foreigners?" said one of the guys. He was really tall, almost 6"5, a lot taller then Ron, and that is really tall. He had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, and muscles to spare.
"Havn't you come for our protection?" he snickered along with the other guy beside him.
"Shut up." the one shorter guy said from behind the other two, making them come to silence.
The one shorter guy walked up and that's when I realized who he was. My heart began to move faster and almost pop out my chest. Harry and Ron looked at me because they both knew who it was.
It was Victor Krum.
He didn't even acknowledge anyone but me. He just stared at me and said.
"Hermione.Hello" he smiled slightly. I mean how dare he even smile at me. He was the one that broke up with me, he was the one that broke my heart, how dare he, but I had to play cool.
"Hi Victor." I said softly, giving him a fake smile.
"Holy cow, it's Victor Krum!" yelled out Flint pointing at him, and acting like a child for once in his life.
Victor as always seemed embarrased for the attention and looked down.
"I just thought I'd come say hi to Hermione, and welcome all of you to Durmstrang, hope to see more of you." He added, only looking at me, as I only looked at him, I couldn't pry my eyes away from his velvety chocalate eyes.
"Bye." He said to me, and all I could do is whisper bye, my heart, only beated to fast to let me speak. As he walked away with the other guys behind him I kept my eyes in his direction, not even noticing that everyone was looking at me, or that Draco seemed angered by this.
I finally looked into Draco's direction, and he looked questionly at me. After all he didn't know about Victor and I. Soon someone asked though, it was Seamus, but I didn't take my eyes away from Draco's.
"How do you know Krum Hermione?" he asked me, everyone hanging onto his every word.
"We went out for 3 years." I answered shocking Draco apparently, he must of thought that I had never of seen anyone before him. And I guess even in more shock that I had never told him. He looked angry and looked away from me, gulping down his food. I looked down to my plate as everyone began to rise in conversation again. I felt so guilty, because the sight of Victor, brought in old feelings, old memories, unresolved emotions, everything. All I knew that this was a terrible start for this new day at Durmstrang, and I knew that if I were to be seeing more of Victor, then I had some issues that I need to take care of with him, and with Draco.
The biggest issue right now was, whom do I really care most about?
**Hey guys! Don't worry, and don't fear, I have not stopped writing or anything like that. I just needed a few days to my own, since I was slightly depressed and all. Im so sorry! But Im feeling much better, so therefore I bring to you all the next exciting chapter!!**
**In this next awaited chapter, we will get to see where all the students will be staying, meet some Durmstrang students, one in particular that we all know about. So get ready for the long awaited thrills and sadness of my story!!! Please read and review this great 7 paged chapter!! THANKS! And thanks for your patience in my time where I needed it most.**

"I just thought I'd come say hi to Hermione, and welcome all of you to Durmstrang, hope to see more of you." He added, only looking at me, as I only looked at him, I couldn't pry my eyes away from his velvety chocalate eyes.
"Bye." He said to me, and all I could do is whisper bye, my heart, only beated to fast to let me speak. As he walked away with the other guys behind him I kept my eyes in his direction, not even noticing that everyone was looking at me, or that Draco seemed angered by this.
I finally looked into Draco's direction, and he looked questionly at me. After all he didn't know about Victor and I. Soon someone asked though, it was Seamus, but I didn't take my eyes away from Draco's.
"How do you know Krum Hermione?" he asked me, everyone hanging onto his every word.
"We went out for 3 years." I answered shocking Draco apparently, he must of thought that I had never of seen anyone before him. And I guess even in more shock that I had never told him. He looked angry and looked away from me, gulping down his food. I looked down to my plate as everyone began to rise in conversation again. I felt so guilty, because the sight of Victor, brought in old feelings, old memories, unresolved emotions, everything. All I knew that this was a terrible start for this new day at Durmstrang, and I knew that if I were to be seeing more of Victor, then I had some issues that I need to take care of with him, and with Draco.
The biggest issue right now was, whom do I really care most about?
