*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione looked around the toilet, amazed. The walls portrayed the bottom of the sea. Fishes, squids, octopuses and other sea creatures were swimming all around room.
There were two sinks, one green and the other was red. Above each sink was a shelve to put their toiletries. Opposite the sink was a swimming pool (what? a swimming pool in a toilet?). Yes, an 18' by 32' feet swimming pool in the toilet complete with four handrails on each side, a diving board and a ten feet high pool slide (come on, bring out the child in yah!). There was even a Greek waterfall in the corner of the pool.
To the right of the pool was a gigantic Jacuzzi that could fit in the prefects and the Heads. There were taps (too many too count) along the side of the Jacuzzi and inside the Jacuzzi had a built-in cement seat and a few feet away was a shower.
There was a green door, opposite to her red door, which obviously leads to Draco's room. Suddenly, she heard a sob from Draco's room. She was curious (typical Gryffindor) and entered the door through the green door.
She looked around. His room was similar to hers except for the furniture, which was mostly white, green and silver, and the wall was filled with beautiful photos of Draco and Narcissa Malfoy.
Then, she heard another sob from the corner of the room. She turned to the direction, and saw Draco, leaning against the wall on the floor. His eyes were red and swollen, and he was staring out of the window.
Hermione soften at the sight. He still wasn't over it. She went over and sat beside him, wrapping her arms around Draco, and pulling him into a warm and comforting embrace.
Draco realized that his embracer was Hermione but he just laid his head on her shoulder, enjoying the moment.
"Hermione…?"
"Ssshhh…Draco"
Draco cupped Hermione's face with his hands and brought it closer to his face. Hermione, surprisingly, didn't pull back, but she felt her heart pounding.
They leaned closer and closer, then suddenly, there a knock on Draco's door.
"Hey Draco! Professor Dumbledore's here! Is Hermione in there? 'Cause I knocked on her door but there's no reply!" Carrie shouted through the door.
Draco swore under his breath and they pulled away.
"Yeah, she's in here! We'll be right down!"
"Hermione! What the hell are you doing in his room for???"
Hermione tuned scarlet.
"Umm… Nothing! We were just catching up!"
She stood up and joined the very smirking Carrie Bennet outside the door.
"Draco, we'll be waiting for you downstairs!" Carrie added and winked at him. Then they left.
Draco sighed and stood up. He changed into a pair of shorts and a green t-shirt, and combed him tousled hair.
"Damn, that cousin of mine!"
"Alas! There you are, Mr Malfoy! We have been awaiting for you!"
"I'm sorry, Professor. Have I hindered you?"
"Ah! No no! We must wait for the Head Boy no matter what!" replied Dumbledore, cheerfully. "Now, take a seat, Mr Malfoy,"
Draco sat on the loveseat beside Justin. Carrie was giggling and whispering things into Hermione's ear. He had expected Hermione to giggle too, but she just smiled.
"All right, the Halloween Masquerade Ball will be of course on Halloween. All the decorations will be handed to you lot and I hope you do this job with full responsibility,"
"I want you to start planning the decoration as fast as possible and hand the plan to us. We shall by the items needed for you. Is that all right?"
The twelve of them nodded and there was a murmer of excitement.
"I'm glad all of you are excited. I am going to announce to the school about the Ball tomorrow over breakfast. And wait, Head Boy and Girl, you are supposed to go together to the Ball in honour of the first Halloween Masquerade Ball. Is that all right with both of you?"
Hermione and Draco looked at each other, and Hermione blushed, while Draco had a weird lopsided grin on his face. There were several giggles from the others, and of course, Carrie's was the loudest.
"Well, judging on your reactions, I assume its okay with both of you," He winked at them. "Now, I leave you. Please have a good night sleep. Good night,"
He walked gracefully (lol) to the portrait and climbed out.
