Chapter 2 Hogwarts
"Tell me more about the dream of yours Granger." Malfoy probed.
"I'm not telling you a thing." She replied. How could she ever trust Malfoy.
The train can to a stop. They finally arrived at Hogwarts station. It was filled with students and they saw the year one students gathering over at Hagrid, who brought the year ones to the castle.
"Wow." Hermione gasped.
"Never seen a huge crowd before, Granger?" Draco asked sarcastically and smirked.
Hermione turned and glared at him. The almond-brown eyes that attracted him. "Her eyes..." Draco thought, turning away immediately. Hermione saw Harry and Ron and walked over to them. "Meet you at Hogwarts." She said turning away.
The students boarded the carriage in fours that took them to the castle.
In the golden trio and Ginny's carriage
"So who's the HeadBoy?" Harry asked.
"Malfoy." Hermione replied. Knowing what their reactions would be, she turned to look outside. Ron had gone into total chaos when he found out and was shouting at the top of his voice.
"This can't be it." Said Harry. He too was shocked. Hermione couldn't wait till she got to Hogwarts. They were so noisy and it was a pain to her ear.
Upon arriving, Professor McGonagall was there waiting for Hermione's arrival. "Miss Granger. How nice to have you back here with us. Come, I'll show you to your common room before the ceremony begins. But please do arrive early. And I suppose Mr. Malfoy is waiting for you." She said sternly. Hermione left her friends and ensure them she'll be back before following Professor McGonagall.
"Here we are," Professor McGonagall said, coming to a sudden stop. There was a big poster of a Princess on a golden horse. "I suppose this is the portrait" Hermione thought. "The password is passion. You can change it only if both of you are present," Professor McGonagall added. "And no fighting." Draco smirked before calling out the password and they both headed in.
The common room was nicely decorated with red, golden, green and silver. The colors that represented each of their houses. Hermione walked up to her room. It was painted red and the satin material of her bed made the room so comfy. Draco's room was painted green. The silver satin material of his bed made him feel like falling asleep. He hadn't had much sleep for he had tried to comfort his mom. His dad had been locked up in Azkaban for being a deatheater and Lord Voldemort had been destroyed by Harry. He couldn't be less happier.
He noticed there was another door in his room. He walked over to open it. It was a bathroom. The door on the other side opened. Hermione's straight hair drooped in followed by her head. "Oh hi. I suppose we have to share a bathroom, don't we." Draco asked, grinning. "Yes." Hermione replied, turning away. "It's almost time for us to head down to the Great Hall. How about we go walk there together." She asked. "It's fine with me." Draco replied.
The Hall had been filled with students. Hermione walked over to Gryffindor table. "Congratulations." Ginny walked up to her to congratulate her for the tenth time. She laughed. Harry and Ginny had been behaving kind of weird through out the entire journey and Ron happened to notice. Out of curiosity, Ron asked, "is there something between the two of you that you would like to tell us?" Harry and Ginny blushed immediately. "Well...." Ginny paused for a slight second. "We are officially dating." Harry added. Hermione and Ron burst into laughter. They were happy that the two of them were finally together.
As they were having a small chat of their own, Professor McGonagall came in with the First years behind her. The sorting hat was brought out and placed on the stool.
In times of old when I was new
And Hogwarts barely started
The Founders of our noble school
Thought never to be parted:
United by a common goal,
They had the selfsame yearning
To make the world's best magic school
And pass along their learning.
"Together we will build and teach!"
The Four good friends decided
And never did they dream that they
Might someday be divided,
For were there such friends anywhere
As Slytherin and Gryffindor?
Unless it was the second pair
Of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw?
So how could it have gone so wrong?
How could such friendships fail?
Why, I was there and so can tell
The whole sad, sorry tale.
Said Slytherin, "We'll teach just those
Whose ancestry is purest."
Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach those whose
Intelligence is surest."
Said Gryffindor, "We'll teach all those
With brave deeds to their name,"
Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot,
And treat them just the same."
These differences caused little strife
When first they came to light,
For each of the four founders had
A House in which they might
Take only those they wanted, so,
For instance, Slytherin
Took only pure-blood wizards
Of great cunning, just like him,
And only those of sharpest mind
Were taught by Ravenclaw
While the bravest and the boldest
Went to daring Gryffindor,
Good Hufflepuff, she took the rest,
And taught them all she knew,
Thus the Houses and their founders
Retained friendships firm and true.
So Hogwarts worked in harmony
For several happy years,
But the discord crept among us
Feeding on our faults and fears.
The Houses that, like pillars four,
Had once held up our school,
Now turned upon each other and,
Divided, sought to rule.
And for a while it seemed the school
Must meet an early end,
What with dueling and with fighting
And the clash of friend on friend
And at last there came a morning
When old Slytherin departed
And though the fighting then died out
He left us quite downhearted.
And never since the founders four
Were whittled down to three
Have the Houses been united
And they once were meant to be.
And now the Sorting Hat is here
And you all know the score:
I sort you into Houses
Because that is what I'm for,
But this year I'll go further,
Listen closely to my song:
Though condemned I am to split you
Still I worry that it's wrong,
Though I must fulfill my duty
And must quarter every year
Still I wonder whether sorting
May not bring the end I fear.
Oh, know the perils, read the signs,
The warning history shows,
For our Hogwarts is in danger
From external, deadly foes
And we must unite inside her
Or we'll crumble from within
I have told you, I have warned you..
Let the sorting now begin.
The sorting ceremony carried on. "Yacolt, Blaine" Dumbledore's voice echoed as the last name was being read. "Gryffindor". They cheered and clapped as the new boy headed to their table.
"A new year has begun." Dumbledore added. "Let me introduce you to the Head Boy and Head Girl. Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy. – Would the both of you come to the front so that everyone would know who you are." He said. Standing up awkwardly, they both walked up with people gasping and having their eyes. The hottest girl and guy in school living together. It was weird.
"Now, do look them up or any of the professors if you have any problem." Dumbledore added. "Now dig in." The plates were filled with cuisines. The students helped themselves and soon, they had gobbled down all that was on the plates.
"Do follow your prefects closely back to the common room. Don't get lost." Dumbledore chuckled.
Hermione and Draco left for the common room after they had assure that all the students were safely back in their rooms. In their common room Hermione came out of the bathroom with her jumper and shorts. She was ready to sleep but there was a knock on the door. "It's not locked." She said. Draco came in. "Can we talk, I think I have to tell you this." He said.
[what does Draco want?!]
