Chapter 4
They stood in the entrance hall for what seemed like hours. Both were looking around adjusting to the view in front of them. Finally, a loud bang in the Great Hall brought them back to reality.
"PEEVES, GO AWAY!! I DON'T NEED YOU IN HERE RIGHT NOW, GO!!"
Draco and Hermione rushed to the doors of the Great Hall as Peeves whizzed past them in a fit of laughter. They watched as he made his way down the hall and through the wall. They turned back and looked into the Great Hall to see Professor Flitwick struggling underneath a large Hogwarts banner. They ran to assist him.
"Are you alright Professor," Hermione asked as she helped Flitwick to his feet.
"Oh, yes, just fine, thank you Miss Granger," he said as he caught his breath, "I was just putting this up when Peeves claims he wanted to help."
"Yeah, I bet he wanted to help," Draco said as he finished guiding the banner up with his wand.
"Oh thank you Mr. Malfoy," Flitwick looked up at the banner with gratitude, "So, how does it feel being back you two?"
Draco looked down at Flitwick, "Strange, it's hard to believe at this point."
"Yes, well I am sure the two of you will adjust in no time. Ah, Minerva, how does it look?"
Draco and Hermione looked around to see Professor McGonagall enter the hall.
"It looks wonderful, thank you so much." Her gaze moved to the new arrivals, "Good to see you two made it alright. Will you join me in my office?"
"Hello, Professor. Lead the way."
"Miss Granger, you may call me Minerva. We are work colleagues now, same to you Mr. Malfoy."
They nodded their heads and followed McGonagall out of the Great Hall.
The walk through the castle was surreal for Draco and Hermione. McGonagall looked around to see the two of them looking around, almost as if they had never been there before. A small smile crept along her mouth and did her best not to let it show.
"If you don't mind, I need to visit Professor Binns for just a moment, do you mind waiting here for a moment." And McGonagall made here way through the door.
"This is so weird," Hermione noted as she looked around.
"I know, I feel like I am dreaming," Draco was also looking around in awe, and then he smiled.
"What? Why are you smiling?" Hermione asked.
"Look, over there. Does that painting bring back any memories?" He was pointing to a painting with a Wizard looming over a Globe.
She smiled and looked up at him, "Yes, I do. That is where we were when," she took a long breath, "when you kissed me."
Okay, this was going to be longer. But there is a nasty storm brewing outside and I want to get away from my computer at the moment. Please, let me know what you think so far.
