Chapter 3: Leaving, Travelling, and Arriving [Part 2]
Disclaimer: HP belongs to JK Rowling, i don't own it, so don't sue me.
Summary: [D/Hr] Hermione Granger decides to change a little after her father has passed away. Little does she know, it'll have major effects on a certain someone...
**************************************************************************** ***
Hermione continued down the hallway of the train still silently laughing to herself at Ron's outburst. *ahahaha.....some brother he is, though... Ginny is right. Malfoy does look.....different.* She continued down the hall to the front compartment and slid the door open. The first person she noticed was Malfoy. She stopped at stared at him, not noticing that Draco was doing the same.
*Is it just me, or does she not only look differnet, but act different too?* Draco thought.
"Ahem, Ms Granger, Mr Malfoy?" McGonagall said.
No response.
"MS GRANGER, MR MALFOY! WOULD YOU TWO PLEASE STOP GAWKING AT EACH OTHER. AND DO TAKE A SEAT MS GRAGER!." said an irritated McGonagall, her tone slightly louder and more harsh.
"Wha...? Oh, morning Professor." said Hermione quickly, before taking a seat next to Draco.
They were both thinking the same thing. *She/He was checking ME out?*
"Now that you're both here, I just want to say that you both are in charge of any corridor fights and arguments that may occur, patrolling the halls at night, making sure students are inside their common rooms by curfew, helping first years who have troubles, keeping students away from out of bound areas, and basically obeying the rules." she continued. "As this year we have decided to have a Christmas Ball, you two will need to work together on the plans and such. Since you will be working together, Professor Dumbledore and I have decided that you two will have separate living quarters, away from your own house. Do you understand your jobs?"
*WHAT? I have to live with HIM for a year? Oh no! The last time I was in the same room as him, I was rhyming for a week!" Hermione thought.
"Living with her for a year?......interesting......." Draco mused.
"UNDERSTAND?" McGonagall repeated.
"Wha.....oh yes Professor." Hermione replied as Draco nodded.
"Good. Now I must be off to the prefects. You two may stay here if you want." Minerva said. *But I doubt that.* And she left.
"So, since we'll be living together, how 'bout we call a truce? Just to make things easier." Hermione asked him.
"What? A truce with a filthy, stinkin' Mudblood? No way!" Draco said before he can stop himself.
Hermione's temper boiled inside, but she kept her cool. "Alright then, cya later then." And she left too.
*Now why, just WHY THE FRIGGIN HELL did I say that for?* Draco groaned to himself.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
*Man, why must he be so arrogant?* Hermione sighed as she walked back to her compartment. *Ahh.....stuff him!* She slid opened the compartment door only to have Ginny on top of Ron, tumbling out of the compartment into the hallway.
"What da......?" Hermione said. She could hear Harry laughing in the background but turned her attention back to the siblings tumbling around in the hallway.
"Did you guys noticed that you're in the middle of the hallway?"
"Wha.....?" Ginny stood up brushing herself off, her cheeks flushed and chest heaving.
"What were you guys doing anyway?" Hermione asked as she stepped back into the compartment with the other and slid the door closed.
"Ron, he took my powder." Ginny explained, glaring at, not Ron, but Harry.
Hermione looked at the glare and asked, "Why are you glaring at Harry then? Isn't it supposed to be Ron?"
Harry bursted out laughing again. But Ron replied, "Cause Harry dared me to."
It was Hermione's turn to laugh. "Can't believe you guys can act so childish." Even Ginny giggled.
'Tap Tap' The door was then slid opened. "Anything off the trolley dears?" the plump witch asked.
They each bought a bit of everything and dumped them all on a seat to share. The boys engaged themselves into a Quidditch conversation while Ginny and Hermione had a girl-to-girl chat.
"So, how was the meeting?" Ginny asked while trying to open a packet of Bertie Botts'
"Nothing too interesting, I've got to share a common room with Malfoy though." Hermione answered biting into a chocolate frog.
"WHAT?" Ginny shrieked. Both the boys stopped abruptly. "Huh?" asked Ron.
"What?" Hermione said. "Its only sharing a common room with Malfoy, at le-" she was interrupted.
"SHARING a COMMON ROOM with MALFOY??????" Harry and Ron yelled.
Hermione shrugged and replied. "Yeh."
"Way cool, Herm!" Ginny said.
"WAY COOL? you've gone nutters Ginny, its MALFOY, of all people!!" Ron said.
"Feel sorry for you Herm." Harry added.
"Whats there to feel sorry for, I mean, its not as if I can't deal with him." Hermione said, biting into a yellow Every Flavour Bean. "Ewww. Onions."
Ginny giggled. "This one's sugar."
"Herm, if he does anything, and I mean ANYTHING to you, we get a good reason to beat him up and shove his ugly head up his-" Ron started.
"RON!" Ginny said. "Stop acting so childish, Herm is old enough to look after herself!"
"Don't I reckon." Hermione said, searching through the beans for a nice- looking one to eat.
Harry stared. "Well, at least take care of yourself Herm."
"Hmmhmm......" Hermione picked up a yellowy-green one and handed it to Ginny. "Here, try this."
Ginny bit into it and immediately spat it out.
"What, what, what is it?" Both Harry and Hermione said. Ron was still fuming over the fact that Hermione doesn't seem to care about sharing a common room with Malfoy.
"Extremely Sour Lime." Ginny coughed.
"Ahaha...here, take a drink." Hermione said, handing her a bottle of Coke she bought with her.
"What is it?"
"Coke" Hermione and Harry said together.
Ginny took a sip. "Tasty."
Hermione laughed. "Well, its one of my favourite drinks from the muggle world." she said as both the boys engaged themselves back into the conversation ofwhat seemed to be Quidditch.
"I think we need to kinda look out for Hermione incase Malfoy does something to her."
"I suppose....." Harry said.
"AND REMEMBER WHAT THOSE FRENCH CHASERS DID IN THE LAST GAME?" Ron said loudly as Hermione looked towards them.
Hermione was discussing the Bertie Botts' with Ginny until she heard her name. *Did someone just mention my name?* She looked over to Ron and Harry.
"AND REMEMBER WHAT THOSE FRENCH CHASERS DID IN THE LAST GAME?" Ron was saying.
*Strange.* she thought and shrugged it off, turning back to her convosation with Ginny.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~an hour later^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
"Hurry you guys, we've only got 15 minutes left. We better change." Hermione said
"Oh no, already? I need to re-apply make-up on!" Ginny shrieked. "Come on Herm, I'll apply some on for you."
"But Ginny, I-" Hermione started.
"No buts, Herm." Ginny said. "Hurry, change then sit down, GO ON boys! leave or do I have to make you?"
~^~^~^~^~^~^~At Hogwarts^~^~^~^~^~^~
"Good to be home" Harry said as they got onto their carriages.
"Sure thing." They all agreed.
The rest of the ride was in silence as they all looked into their past memories. As they got off the carriages, they joined the rest of the other students into the Great Hall for the Sorting Ceremony. As the sorting ceremony ended, Professor Dumbledore rose and gave his address to the school.
"Welcome back for a new year at Hogwarts. Many new faces and old ones as well. Please note first years are forbidden to go into the Forbidden Forest. This goes for older years as well." he casted a look over to Hermione's side of the Hall. Ron gulped as Harry hid a smile. "Congratulations to our new Heads this year. Head Boy is Draco Malfoy from Slytherin and Head Girl is Hermione Granger from Gryffindor." the Hall erupted into cheers. "That is all, Eat up!" The plates filled up as people reached over the table to congratulate Hermione.
"Ryl-eva-get-ty-ov-dese-oods" Ron said.
"WHAT?" Ginny asked from across him. Hermione nearly choked from the sight of Ron. Harry snickered.
Ron swallowed and repeated. "I said I'll never get tired of these food."
"Quite right ron, but please, where are your table manners?" Ginny said mockingly.
"Wonder if he does have any." Harry whispered to Hermione making her choke.
"Harry!...*cough*.....how could you....*cough*....say...*cough* that?" Hermione coughed. Harry laughed.
At the end of the feast, Dumbledore stood again.
"Prefects, please lead your houses back to the dormitories. And I want to see the Heads."
"Cya Hermit!" Ron said.
Ginny and Harry sniggered and said "See you tomorrow Herm."
Hermione slapped Ron on the arm and said. "See you Ronnikins!" They all laughed and left.
Hermione walked up to Dumbledore, where Malfoy was already waiting.
"Congratulations Ms Granger and Mr Malfoy, now if you will follow me." They left the hall and up four flights of stairs, through a corridor and round a tapestry. They arrived in front of a portrait of a white fluffy puppy.
"Snowflakes." He said to the portrait and entered with Hermione and Draco following him.
They arrived in the large common room. On the opposite wall was a large fireplace. On either side of it were glass windows that looks through to the Quidditch pitch and the lake, with deep blue curtains. In front of the fireplace were a couch, two armchairs and a coffee table all under a huge fluffy rug. On the left side of the wall were 4 doors. One with a snake on it, another with a lion, another with a candle, and the last with a cup of coffee. On the wall beside them were shelves with books. At the end of the wall on the far side against the right wall, were several study tables. One particular with a computer. *Wow* Hermione thought. *A computer in the wizarding world*
On the right wall were three doors. One said HG, one said HB, and the one in the middle had a bar of soap with bubbles around it. But whats interesting was in the far corner, in front of the right-hand side glass window and just outside the room marked HG.
"Is-is that a-a........." Hermione asked, surprised.
