A/N: Sorry for the delay, I have had sooo much work to do lately! Anyway,
on with the story.
Chapter 3
Finally the train rolled into Hogsmeade station. Leaving their compartment, the trio made their way towards an empty carriage.
"I can't believe you made head mgirl Hermione, usually only seventh years get to be those!" Ron exclaimed.
"Yeah Mione, your own room and everything. Perks of seniority, eh?" Harry smiled. Hermione grinned back at him. Yes well I was as surprised as anyone! Though it would have been nice if I didn't have to share the limelight with Malfoy." She frowned. Draco too had been made Head Boy
"Yeah," Ron agreed. "Though I bet anything daddy had a hand in that one. Come on, here's a free carriage." Jumping in the trio settled themselves. It wasn't long before they arrived at Hogwarts.
Hermione couldn't wait for the feast to be over so as she could ask Dumbledore for the whereabouts of her room. Eventually she was able to make her way towards the headmaster.
"Excuse me, Sir," she began, but then stopped, as at the same time a male voice had said.
"Headmaster."
It was Draco. Fighting the urge to grin at each other the pair simply frowned.
"Ah yes. I was wondering when the two of you would come to see me. I am guessing you wish to know the location of your rooms?" Hermione and Draco nodded. "Very well. Follow me."
Dunbledore lead the pair up one of the many moving staircases and stopped when he reached one of the middle floors. There, he gestured to two portraits, one of an aristocratic women and the other of man, whose face was slightly blurred.
"It is up to you to choose your own password," Dumbledore told the pair. "I trust the rooms will be to your liking. You may still use the common room of your respective houses." With that, Dumbledore walked away leaving the pair alone.
"Well," Draco said. "This is interesting. Look like this year could be better than I first thought." Hermione grinned.
"I know!! Right, we need to choose passwords. What are you going to use?" She asked Draco. Draco laughed and leaned against the wall.
"Now why would I tell a Gryffindor the password to my own private room?" he teased. Hermione replied by swatting him on the arm causing Draco to laugh even more.
"Ok, ok. Mine is going to be Serpentsortia. What about you, I suggest you choose something Gryffindorish."
Hermione frowned in concentration. "Mine shall be.. Phoenix Tear."
Draco nodded. "I'll drop in before I go to bed. Later Herm."
Hermione entered her room and couldn't help but be impressed. The room was about the size of an international Quiddich pitch, and was predominantly red velvet. In the centre stood a magnificent Queens seize four-poster bed, surrounded by a large comfy sofa. Hearing someone clear his or her throat she turned round. The Lady in the portrait by the fire was trying to get her attention.
"My dear, there is a certain Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley attempting to gain entrance."
"Oh!" Hermione exclaimed, "Ummm, yeah, that's ok."
Harry and Ron came charging into the room and automatically came to a dead halt.
"Wow!" Ron exclaimed. "You've really hit the big time with this!"
"It is something else" Harry smiled at her. Hermione felt herself smiling back almost against her will.
"Yeah it is nice" she agreed. "Anyway, shouldn't we all be getting ready for bed?"
"Oh, yeah, I guess you're tired Mione, we'll pop in tomorrow" Ron said as he left the room.
"Night night Herm" Harry added as he gave her a peck on the cheek before leaving. A little stunned by this action, Hermione went and flopped down on her bed. Was it possible the plan was working a little too well?
"Hermione?" A soft voice called.
"I'm over here, Draco." she replied. Draco appeared befpre her and sat himself on the end of the bed.
"Saw Potter and Weasley in here."
"Yeah."
Noticing her unenthusiastic response Draco frowned.
"Everything ok?"
"Yeah, it's just," Hermione sighed and crawled between the sheets. "Oh I don't know, I'll tell you in the morning."
"Ok, sleep tight" Dropping a kiss on her forehead he left the room.
Sighing, Hermione wrapped her beautiful scarlet sheets around her. She would worry about Harry in the morning. A/N: Thanks for your reviews, they are really appreciated.
