This is usually where I put notes to my reviewers... but since I haven't had any... *cry cry* I'll get on with the third part of the story.
>Back to School
Chap.3
> Sorting
Hermione spotted Ron and Harry walking close behind them in the hallway and burrowed even tighter into Draco's hold. "Do you think it's working?" Hermione asked.
Draco glanced back at Ron's furious face. "Yeah. Very well." he stated with a satisfied grin on his lips. "Well this is where we part. I'll see you tomorrow. We have potions first."
"Bye." Hermione murmured with a big grin. She sauntered over to the Gryfindor table and sat down next to Seamus.
"Well 'alo Hermione. How was your summer?"
"It was interesting. How was yours?" She asked politely her eyes straying to Ron.
"Wonderful. I meet this awesome girl in America. She's a transfer student this year. Her name is Gwendolyn Kathrinea Fitssimmons. She's really smart. She has really long curly reddish brown hair. It goes down to her knees. Can you believe that? She's got flashy green eyes with bright blue rimmed director glasses. And her grandmother is Irish. She's perfect." Seamus let out with a sigh.
There was a rap from the high table. "Welcome back students. As you are well aware, the sorting will be taking place now." Dumbledore announced warmly.
"We will begin with our new transfer student from The School of Witchcraft in Wichita, Kansas. Gwendolyn. Will you come up here please and place the hat on your head?"" McGonagall asked.
Gwendolyn walked up to the stool, sat down, and put the hat on. "Hmmm... Have a boyfriend in Gryfindor do you?" there were snickers from people around Seamus. "Ok. Lets put you in GRYFINDOR!!!"
Various shouts of exuberance went through out the Gryfindor table. The biggest of all from Seamus of course. Gwendolyn flounced over into his arms then sat next to him. "Hello everyone. I'm Gwen."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Lee Jordan."
"Ah. The announcer."
"I'm Hermione Granger."
"Oh I'm so happy to meet you!" She exclaimed giving the shocked Hermione a big hug. "You are the smart one. Seamus told me so much about you. I feel like we are practically sisters." Hermione glanced over her shoulder at Seamus questionably who just rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"He told me a lot about you too." Hermione said with a smile.
"But where are Harry and Ron? Seamus said you three are always together." Gwen asked.
"We kinda had a fight. If you ask me later I'll tell you about it." she said with a vacant look on her face.
"Um. Kay. Well... lets eat!" She announced as the food suddenly appeared on the table. "So Hermione. What's your family like? Are they all smart like you?"
"I don't have any siblings. Just my parents who are muggles. My mom and dad are dentists. How about you?"
"I have 1 sister and 3 brothers. The oldest is Reed. He is 19 . Then there is Jack, short for Jackson. He is 18. Then there is me. I'm 17. My little brother is Alex. He is 12. And my sister Janile is 4." She paused to eat some food. "My father Patrick was born and raised in Ireland. And my mother Gayle was born in Witchita, Kansas."
"So how did they meet?" Hermione asked.
"Well my dad went to Hogwarts and my mom transferred here during her 5th year and left at the end of her 6th year. They were both in Ravenclaw. She left her address and he wrote to her and sent it in the mail. My mom's parents were muggles and were a little weary of owls. They meet when he came to Witchita when he had graduated and they fell in love and here I am."
"Hey are you by chance in any sports? Like Quiditch?" Lee Jordan asked.
"I'm all right. I play with my brothers and dad sometimes at home. I'm usually a beater or a seeker. Why?"
"There are two Beater positions open. Try outs are tomorrow at 4:00 on the field."Lee Jordan stated.
"Ok. I'll be there. Hey Hermione. Earth to Hermione." Gwen waved her hand in front of her eyes.
"Hmm?" Hermione looked away from Ron who was flirting with a blonde haired girl from Gryfindor.
"You keep looking at that red haired guy. Oh! Is that Ron Weasly?"
"Yeah." She said miserably.
"He's kinda cute." Gwen exclaimed.
"Gwen!" Seamus exclaimed.
"But not as cute as my Seamus-bear." Gwendolyn stated.
"Attention students. If you would all follow your prefects from your respected houses they will show you where your rooms are. Please stand up when I call your name. Miss Granger from Gryfindor. Mr. Emory from Ravenclaw. Miss Lakesly from Huffelpuff. And Mr. Malfoy from Slytherin. I will see you in the morning students." Dumbledore announced.
Hermione glanced at Draco who was smirking at his fellow Slytherins.
"Gryfindors, follow me." She walked out of the Great Hall and towards the
Gryfindor house.
A/N: Please review. It makes me very sad when I don't get any reviews.
