Hi everyone! Well nothing much to say . . . Thank you Anna for the great
ideas!
"I'm glad you made some new friends, Hermione," Maureen yawned as she pulled her covers over her in the bunk bed. A cool breeze was coming from the air conditioning vent.
"Yeah, I'm glad too," said Hermione quietly as she snuggled under her covers. Hermione could hear Maureen shifting under her covers in the bed below * they were in bunk beds. * 'College is going to be great,' Hermione thought happily to herself. She was near falling asleep when she heard . . .
"Maureen, are you awake? I know you are," said a voice. Maureen sat straight up in her bed, terrified.
"Who-who is it?" Maureen's voice began to crack.
"Maureen, what is that?" Hermione asked.
"I don't know!" Maureen cried.
"Maureen," the voice drawled.
"Y-yes?" Maureen stuttered.
"Maureen . . . It's me . . . Tanner," the words echoed throughout the room.
"NOOOOOOOO!" Maureen wailed. Soon after Maureen's moan, Hermione could hear laughing.
"Really, who is it?" Hermione asked.
"It's Anna!" the voice called back.
"And Victoria!"
"How did you guys do that?" Maureen asked.
"Through the air conditioning vent," Anna called back.
"Ooh wow! Cool! We can talk to each other during the night!" Maureen exclaimed excitedly through the vent.
"Yeah, isn't this neat? I wonder if anyone else can hear us," Victoria said thoughtfully.
Meanwhile back on the boys side of the building . . .
Draco began muttering some spells at the air vent and Tanner, his roommate, stood in awe.
"Jeez Draco, you sure are smart," he said.
"Yes, I know I am, my aunt told me about this, how the girls hear could talk through the air vents, let's see if anyone is talking at the moment shall we?" Draco put his hand through his hair again and resumed to casting some more spells. "Alright, it's ready. Now we'll be able to hear the girls every word," Draco chuckled evilly. Giggles began to come through the vent.
"Anna, I wish you would stop teasing me about Tanner," said an exasperated Maureen.
"Heh, but it's fun!" Anna replied with a snigger.
"I knew that ladies loved me," Tanner patted his gelled hair. Maybe he and Draco should start a hair gel club . . . Draco and Tanner were getting along just fine.
"Why? Do you have some history with Maureen?" Draco asked curiously.
"Yes, she was head over heels in love with me a few years ago and the funny thing is, she doesn't know I'm going to this college," said Tanner suavely. That certainly boosted his ego.
"Interesting," said Draco dully and resumed listening to the air vent girl gossip.
"I like boys with blonde hair, especially that one boy that I met in the hallway this afternoon," Maureen said dreamily.
"Ew! You mean Draco? Ugh!" Hermione said in a disgusted voice. Draco began to frown at the air vent.
"Oh come on Hermione! He is a total babe magnet!" Victoria exclaimed.
"Oh please, Hermione. You must think he is at least a little attractive," Maureen giggled.
"Alright, he is SORT OF cute," said Hermione unenthusiastically. Draco smirked at the air vent. It was now officially his best friend.
"So, excited for the party?" Anna asked.
"Totally, I'm already deciding on what to wear," Maureen said happily.
'Hmm, party huh? I might as well go, since everyone loves me,' Draco thought slyly to himself.
"Yup, same over here," Hermione replied.
"Hey Tanner, want to go to a party?" Draco asked clandestinely.
"Hell yeah. Will there be girls at the party?" Tanners asked hopefully. Draco looked at the air vent and turned towards Tanner and grinned.
"Definitely."

Hermione awoke the next morning to the sound of shuffling in the hallway. 'I guess a lot more people are moving in today,' she thought drowsily to herself. Hermione shivered as she threw her covers of her. She jumped down from her bed to see that Maureen was still asleep; the blonde hair sprawled over her pillow.
"Come on Maureen, breakfast is being served," Hermione began to gently shake Maureen. Her eyes fluttered open and she yawned.
"Oh, is it time for cake for breakfast?" she said groggily.
"No, but it is time for breakfast! Come on," Hermione grabbed Maureen's hands and pulled her off the bed and landed with a large thump on the floor.
"Ouch!" Maureen tenderly rubbed her bum. Maureen was not a morning person.
"Hey anyone there?" Anna's voice boomed through the vent.
"Yeah, we're just getting ready for breakfast," Hermione called back.
"Oh alright, we'll meet you at the cafeteria doors then," Victoria called through the vent.
"Alrighty, then," Maureen called back. Hermione quickly got dressed in a pair of jeans and a tank top along with her sneakers.
"We better hurry! All the good food will be gone!" Maureen cried as she ran into the hallway.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" a voice screeched. Maureen had accidentally ran into a girl who was parked outside their door.
"Oh, I remember you! Aren't you that little ditzy kid from Standford Prep?" said the girl in highlighted hair and in an extremely low top.
"Oh, hello Gloria," Maureen said sadly.
"I'm surprised to hear that you were accepted here, I always thought you were, well I don't know . . . brain-dead," she said simply. Maureen said nothing and walked briskly by her. Gloria glared at Hermione as she ran to catch up with Maureen who was waiting for an elevator.
"Wow, who was that back there?" Hermione asked the distressed Maureen.
"That's Gloria Sanchez, she was the most popular girl back at Standford Prep, she always picked on me," Maureen looked as though she was about to burst into tears. Hermione affectionately patted Maureen on the back.
"Oh, don't let Gloria get to you, Maureen. Just ignore her," said Hermione who was still waiting for the elevator to come.
"Dang, these elevators take forever!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Yeah, but she always pushes my buttons," said Maureen in a melancholy tone.
"I don't see any buttons," a cold voice leered behind her. Hermione groaned but instead of turning around to see Draco, she kept on rapidly pushing the button.
"Oh hello Dra-" Maureen began and to her horror she saw Tanner standing next to him.
"T-t-Tanner" she gulped, "What are you doing here?" she asked.
"The same reason as you, I suppose and I'm Draco's roommate," said Tanner smugly. Maureen's face drained of any color.
"Oh, right," she said quietly. The elevator had finally come and they all filed in. Maureen scooted into the far corner away from everyone else. Too embarrassed to speak. Tanner and Draco began talking with one another about Quidditch. Hermione could care less but Maureen was interested though she preferred playing soccer. She even had a share in the conversation.
"Well, soccer consists of talent only. Pretty much everyone could play Quidditch," Maureen explained. They began debating with one another on the subject until the elevator came to the main floor where the cafeteria was located. Maureen smiled as the elevator doors opened to show Anna and Victoria waiting by the cafeteria doors.
"Hi! What's up?" she asked cheerfully.
"Ooh Maureen, look it's Tanner," said Anna teasingly.
"Yeah I know, lame isn't it?" she laughed as she entered into the cafeteria.
Hi everyone! Not much Hermione action, but don't worry! It shall come soon! Just trying to get you introduced to the important characters of the story! Isn't that air vent thing weird? Ha!
