Chapter 3: The Game is on
Not too soon, the train arrived at Hogwarts. I was about to exit the "heads" compartment when Malfoy blocked my way. He opened the door and seemed to have noticed that I was eyeing him badly.
"After you." He said.
"Thank you." I answered sarcastically. I immediately entered Cassie's compartment and waited for her.
"Had fun?" She asked as she grabbed her book and went out.
"Fun? I didn't. In fact I think me and Malfoy had just began a war." I said as we went out of the train. I saw Hagrid and waved at him. Since it was raining hard, we both ran to one of the empty carriages and rode in. Luckily, no one rode in with us.
"A war with Malfoy? You have got to be kidding." Cassie laughed.
"I'm not. So do you know the reason why he's still here?" I asked as I tried to dry myself up with some spell.
"Ask him yourself. You two are going to be dorm mates."
"Please don't remind me."
"Why not? For me, that sounds fun. Geez you're so lucky and you can't even see that. You're going to spend the whole year, every night with the hottest guy in school. Trust me; people would die to be in your place." Cassie told me as she tied her hair in a bun.
"I wish I could exchange places with someone. I just can't face the fact that I'm gonna be doing almost everything with that Ferret Boy." I said irritated by the fact that what I said was true.
"Just forget about that for a moment. BTW, I don't know the reason why he's back, but I have something in store for yah." Cassie said as I looked at her. I knew she had an idea, but I hope it's good.
"What?" I asked.
"Let's play a little game. If you get the info why Draco is still here, I'll give you 100 galleons." Cassie offered. I smiled at her knowing the deal wasn't so bad.
"Sure thing. That's easy. I'm sure a lot of people know." I said.
"But wait, I'm not yet done. You have to pull out the info from Draco himself." She added.
"You have got to be joking. I'll do anything just to avoid talking with him. I can't stand him and you know that." I said. "And besides, if I pull it out from him, how will yah know if the info was really from him?"
"I'm not joking. But good point, how will I know? Hmmm..." She paused for a moment, thinking an answer to her question. "I know. You bought that Muggle recorder right? Maybe you could just record it."
"Uhhh... Don't you think he'll be suspicious that I'm playing a game on him if he sees me holding that while we're talking? Besides, I won't do it."
"Won't do it? You're such a chicken Ginny. I thought you're different from your brother who's quite a loser."
"I'm different. And I'm not a chicken." I told her as I crossed my arms.
"Prove it then." She said.
"Alright, I'll do it." I said as I took her offer.
Soon, we were at the school itself. I sat on the Gryffindor table as we waited for the sorting ceremony to proceed. The 1st year students were all wet. I pity them. They had to go thru the lake even though it was raining hard outside. Luckily, when it was my year, it wasn't raining.
"Finally." One of the Gryffindors said as the ceremony began. Once it was all over, we began to eat our supper. I tried to enjoy each and every single moment since I knew that I will be going to my new dorm with Malfoy. I just wish I could sit here forever.
After eating ourselves out, Professor Dumbledore ordered the Prefects of each house to bring the 1st years to their dormitories. Obviously, after they left, the other students followed them. I was about to go out when I heard Professor McGonagall call me. I hurriedly walk towards her. And at the corner of my eye, I saw Malfoy walking towards her as well. Obviously, she called the "heads" for some reason.
"Congratulations Ms. Weasley, to you too Mr. Malfoy. I hope the two of you know your jobs as the Head Girl and Boy. But may I remind you, that you need o maintain your high grades at each and every subject that you take to remain as the head." Professor said.
"Of course Professor." I said politely.
"Yes Professor." Draco followed.
"Now, go on to your dormitory. Don't forget to check the attendance from the prefects alright?" The two of us nodded. "You may leave now." She added.
"Good Night Professor."
The two of us walked out of the great hall as if we were friends. We knew that we had to get along in front of the Professors to avoid trouble. But once we were out, I played a safe distance from him.
"This is going to be one of the longest nights I ever had." I thought as we approached the dormitory.
"Password?" The lady on the painting asked.
"Have ay idea what it is?" Malfoy asked me.
"No. Do you?" I asked back.
"No. I'm sure this painting won't let us in without a password. This is all you fault. You did not ask for the password." Draco told me.
"My fault? You are such a stupid git Malfoy." I turned to face the painting. "Is there any clue the Professors left?" I asked the woman on the painting.
"It has something to do with a sleeping dragon." The painting replied.
"How the hell will we figure that out? There are a lot of things about dragons." Malfoy said.
"Shut up Malfoy. I'm trying to think." I said irritated.
"Then think fast!" He commanded.
"Got it!" I said.
"Then tell it." Malfoy instructed.
"How dare you command me." I turned to him and gave a bad stare. This is what I had just imagined. Life in hell. "Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titlandus." I told the painting as I tried to calm my self.
The painting swung open, and revealed a door that led inside the dormitory. Draco gasped as the two of us walked in. Our common room was huge, with rich mahogany fixtures, a fire in the inglenook, bookshelves filled with all kinds of books covering a complete wall, and a huge window facing the west, with a vision of the beautiful lake and parts of the Forbidden Forest. Two openings branched off on either side of the window, leading to our separate bedrooms.
"It's wonderful..." I whispered as I ran my fingers through the expensive couches. I found myself looking at Draco for a moment, amazed that even he was not ready for the magnificence of the room.
"It's nice... I think." Draco said casually and without another word, he headed towards his room leaving me in the huge common room. I gave out a sigh and headed to my room as well.
"At least I could spend sometime in this place if I'm not doing anything." I thought.
