"Paige?!" Harry said after Professor Dumbledore and Hagrid had left the silent hall.
Hermione tugged at Harry's sleeve.
"Sit down!" she hissed. "People are staring at you!"
Harry sat down, his face pale. Hermione patted him on the shoulder sympathetically.
"Do you think You-Know-Who got them?" several Hufflepuff's asked looking nervously.
Then the rest of the student's, except the Slytherins, looked about the room nervously.
"Harry it wasn't You-Know-Who, was it?" Ron asked timidly, looking around the Great Hall.
"How should I know?" he whispered, frowning.
"Harry, your scar is a Voldemort detector." Hermione whispered.
Several people at the Gryffindor table gasped.
"She said the name! She said the name!" squealed several second year girls, who were sitting a few seats away from them.
Hermione shook her head and looked up at Professor McGonagal who just called the last name on her roll of parchment.
"I didn't feel anything." Said Harry as Hermione frowned at the girls, who were now glancing nervously at Hermione.
"Jeez! It's not as if I'll turn into some kind of a monster!" said Hermione, now glaring at her plate.
"Well, in the magical world, anything is possible." Said Ginny Weasley, who just came over.
"How's Crookshanks?" Hermione asked, just as Professor Dumbledore came back in the Great Hall.
"He's fine." Said Ginny. "Thanks for letting Crookshanks stay with me."
"No problem!" said Hermione smiling at Ginny.
"Students welcome to another year!" said Dumbledore as the hall became silent. "I would just like to remind you the forbidden forest, like always, is still forbidden and the trip's the third to seventh years take to Hogsmeade well be shortened to just three visits." Three-fourths of the students groaned. "For very good reasons of course."
That shut the students up, but made them all look at Harry. Harry looked down at his gold plate.
Hermione sighed. The Hufflepuffs all, except the first years, whispered Cedric. Hermione saw Cho Chang wipe away a tear.
"Professor!" said Serena Brown waving her hand like crazy.
"Yes, Miss. Brown."
"How are those two students ,that saved Katie?" she asked.
"Both are fine! They'll be sorted tomorrow evening." He said.
Serena sat down and had an unreadable look on her face.
"I suggest ,since tomorrow is Saturday, the first years look around the school so you can find your classes on Monday. Now bon appetite!"
Mounds of food appeared in front of all of the students. Then sad atmosphere changed to a cheerful atmosphere within seconds. Laughter and happy shouts filled the whole hall as the student's and teachers dinned on the delicious food prepared by the house elves.
Hermione laughed with Ron and Harry. She was having the best time of her life, but then there was a shiver that went up her back.
"Hermione you okay?" Harry asked as he chewed another piece of steak.
"Fine!" she said as another shivered tried to go up her back.
She felt like she was being watched.
She turned around to look behind her. That's when her eyes widened slightly.
Draco Malfoy was looking at her with an unusual expression on his face. His gray eyes connected with hers.
They held each other's gaze for a few seconds before Malfoy blushed slightly, then started up a conversation with Pansy Parkinson.
Hermione who was very confused turned around and finished her food in silence.
"So Hermione do you want to visit Paige tomorrow morning?" Harry asked, as they made their way up to the Gryffindor Common Room.
"Sure!" she said as they reached the portrait of the Fat Lady.
"Ron you want to go to the hospital wing tomorrow and visit Paige?" Harry asked Ron.
"Okay, why not!" he said.
"Okay everyone the password to get in the common room is Brave heart." Said Hermione looking at a folded piece of parchment Professor McGonagal had given her before they left the hall.
The picture swung open letting the Gryffindor's in.
James' P.O.V.
A/N:
~ These wavy lines are the individual person thinking. ~
I could hear fabric shuffle as a cool breeze blew pass. That's when I opened my eyes.
All I could see was white. Then I saw the stone walls.
"I must be in the school." I said sitting up and touched my bandaged arm.
My head started to pound like mad as I got out of the bed. My bare feet touched to cold stone floors and I instantly recoiled.
~ Andrews! ~ my thought's had instantly shifted to her.
I just remember swimming to Andrews and that girl, getting scratched by something, then pulling Andrews and that girl to shore. After that I must have passed out
I climbed out of bed and peeked out of the curtains. There were white beds lined up against the walls and one with curtains around them. I hesitated before I made up my mind to go see how she was.
Moonlight was shining through the windows and made the white sheets glow brightly. I felt like I was dreaming. It was like I was walking down one of those halls that seemed to stretch out forever. Lucky for me and Andrews, we have forever.
I'm an immortal. As in, I can live forever and ever. There's several things that sucks about my life. I've been alive for nearly sixteen thousand years.
The next thing is that Andrews and I have to change our names every fifty to seventy-five years. That's why my name is James Tenor and hers is Paige Crest.
My official birth name was James Newmen. I really hate this law because I'm running out of names. Andrews doesn't like this law either, but she'll keep her mouth shut. It's not my fault Paige Andrews is like that Granger girl.
I shook me head as I stopped in front of the curtains. Then I silently opened them a little.
There she was sleeping like an angel. Her long dark brown framed her perfect face. The moonlight made her face look like a porcelain dolls face. Perfect and flawless.
I had to admit it she looked so beautiful. Then I scrowled.
~ What are you thinking James?! ~ I scolded myself.
If my Headmaster ever found out I thought that, I could get expelled! Then my father would probably beat me to a pulp.
I closed the curtains behind me as I entered. I knelt down by the sleeping angel.
My heart seemed want to pound out of my chest as I watched her hand overlap mine, unconsciously of course. Her hand was so soft and warm. Unlike my girlfriend, Andrews made me want to just jump and sing when her hand was over mine, for some odd reason.
~ I don't like this feeling. ~ I thought as I slipped my hand from under hers.
~ Liar, liar pants on fire! ~ my unconscious mind spoke up.
I quickly left Andrews side and slipped into my own bed again.
Pushing the confusing thoughts aside I fell back asleep.
Sorry if this turned out very confusing for you. I just felt like making James fall in love with Paige!
