(A/N: Here is the next chapter! I know I left the last one off at a bit of a cliffy but that is what I do best so expect more that end that way. Thanks to all of my reviewers! You guys (or gals) are the best! Btw after this chapter it will be a while before the next chapter is posted because I am going to my dad's for a week and then I am going to my cousin's so please r&r and I'll write and post asap!)

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

Hermione thought it over for a second before saying, "What do you think I am? A chicken? Dare." Parvati looked very pleased when Hermione said this.

"Alright then Hermione...I dare you to kiss the three guys in here that you want to go out with. Even if you don't want to go out with ant of the guys in here just pick the three that you like the most." Parvati said witha look of smug satisfaction on her face.

"Damn you Parvati." Hermione thought to herself as she stood and walked over to the first guy that she had to kiss. She really didn't want to kiss anyone in the compartment but she was determinded to prove that she wasn't a chicken.

The first guy that she walked over to was of course Ron. She bent down but just before she kissed him she turned to Parvati and asked, "Lips or cheek?"

"What do you think?" Parvati returned grinning evily. Hermione sighed and leaned down and kissed a very surprised looking Ron on the lips. She then stood and walked over to Harry and kissed him the same way she did Ron. Though somewhat surprisingly Harry didn't look surprised at all that Hermione had chosen him as one of the three boys that she had to kiss. Then the thrid and final boy that she walked up to was...Malfoy.

There were several small gasps from people around the room and Harry and Ron were shocked speechless. Malfoy did not object to the kiss but instead leaned into it. "Wow." was all that Hermione could think as one of his hands caressed the back of her neck. When the two pulled away Hermione walked back to where she had been sitting and stared around the room at all of the surprised faces.

"Is it my turn to ask now?" Hermione asked Parvati in the most poisonously innocent voice that she could.

* * *

"Why in the hell did you kiss Malfoy?" Harry asked his friend as they stepped off of the train. Hermione simply shrugged. Ron was still in shock that she had kissed him and also from the fact that he had just seen his best frien kiss Malfoy. "I mean I can understand that you would choose me and Ron seeing as we are your best friends and all but...MALFOY?"

"Oh shut your howling screamer." (For all Treasure Planet fans.) Hermione said to him looking like she wanted to slap him. "I don't know why I chose to kiss him I guess it was just that he was the first one that I saw so I went for it. Then again I also half expected him to act all disgusted and not let me kiss him."

"Well from my angle he sure as hell didn't look disgusted!" Harry shouted at her.

"Whatever!" Hermione shouted back and went to look for the prefects carriage. When she found it she climbed in and sat down in the seat across from one of the Huffelpuff prefects Thessi Stalt. She simply stared out of the small window until she heard the remaining prefects climb into the carriage. She tried her hardest now to look over at Malfoy as the carriage started to move from the station down the road to the school.

Once the carriage stopped she climbed out and walked into the Entrance Hall where she looked around for a place to stand and wait for Ginny.

She stood not far from the entrance and waited. When she saw Ginny she walked up to her and asked, "Hey Ginny do you mind if I sit with you at dinner?"

"Sure." Ginny replied. Why aren't you going to sit with Ron and Harry.

"Because they're both idiots," was Hermione's only reply.

"Well I've been trying to tell you that for years," said a voice from behind her. When Hermione turned to see who had talked she saw Malfoy standing there with a half grin on his face.

"What do you want Mafoy?" Ginny asked. Draco shrugged and walked on into the Great Hall. Ginny looked at Hermione and asked, "I wonder what that was about?"

"I don't know nor do I care." Hermione sighed as she and Ginny walked into the Great Hall so that they could sit and wait for the sorting and then the feast.

Shortly after they sat down Professor Flitwick set out the sorting hat and a stool just before the crowd of new first years walked through the doors. Everyone was silent for a few seconds before the hat began to talk:

"I welcome all of the new people that stand here before me,
I am very happy to be the one to sort thee.
The four houses I shall now describe for you,
Then I will sort you into the houses that you belong to.
First there is Gryffindor house,
Where dwell the bravest of us all,
No matter what the predicament,
Gryffindors always stand brave and tall.
Next there is Huffelpuff,
Where reside the truest I ever met.
If I should put you there,
You'll find ther truest friends I bet.
And now we come to Ravenclaw,
The most intellegent of the lot.
Any facts tought to them,
Will not be soon forgot.
And last we have Slytherin house,
You cunning ones will fit in well.
If I should put you in that house,
You'll love it; I can tell.
For I am the great sorting hat,
And I've yet to be wrong in my many years.
So step up and put me on, And I'll tell you where you shall reside for the years that you are here."

There was silence for the slightest second before the Hall erupted in cheers.

(A/N: I decided to be nice and not leave this chapter in a cliffy because it will be a while before I get to write again unless I get to use my dad's computer so...R&R while I am away so that I will want to write more! And thanks again to all of my reviewers! Also I know that my sorting hat song was nothing compared to the average song in the books but I came up with this the other night and decided that I would throw it in! I hope you liked it!)
