Chapter 4
Back at Hoggy Warty Hogwarts
After the train ride, Hermione (as head girl) left Harry and Ron and went to check that everyone had left the train. She saw Draco (with his sleeves down) hanging back and saw the Head Boy badge on his chest. She hadn't noticed that before. She supposed she had been too busy with his arm. He was looking paler than usual, if that was possible. She went over and said hi, but he just replied quietly and politely, then stared at his expensive tailored shoes and said nothing more until they got to the feast, where he practically whispered "Bye." She returned the gesture, confused. Why was he acting so civil all of a sudden? She joined Harry and Ron and thought no more of it. Dumbledore said his usual speech, which Hermione usually listened intently to, but this time couldn't help tuning out, and the food appeared. Harry and Ron shuvelled mushed up random food into themselves, while Hermione ate a proper meal, complete with vegetables (!!!!). After the puddings had disappeared, Dumbledore stood up again and waited for silence. He didn't have to wait long.
"Just before you disappear, I would like the school song to be sung. Pick a tune and sing, 1, 2, 3, 4!"
'Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old an bold
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot.'
After everyone had finished, Dumbledore continued.
"Prefects, please show first years to the dormitaries, and can I see the Head boy and girl now please."
Hermione walked over to Dumbledore. She looked at Draco, and, seeing him looking at her, quickly looked away again. She looked again, and saw him still looking at her. She smiled. He , to Hermione's surprise, half-smiled sadly back.
