Chapter 2 Step by Step Little Progress
The Hogwarts Express finally came into the Hogsmeade station and the students piled out. Hermione walked out with Ginny, but soon Ginny scurried away to find her brother and boyfriend leaving Hermione alone. Hermione jumped in a random carriage ignoring the people who happened to be a bunch of Slytherin 5th years. She drowned them out with the sound of her music flowing out of her headphones.
The Slytherins jumped out of the carriage as soon as it arrived at Hogwarts. Hermione walked into the castle with the rest of the students and sat down at the Gryffindor table between Ginny and Neville. Before the feast started she made small talk with Neville listening him drone on about his new fascinating plants. (A/n: I realize I forget to say what year Hermione is in. She is in her 6th year.) As soon as the sorting began it was over and Dumbledore stood to welcome the students back.
"Welcome to another wonderful year at Hogwarts! I hope this year will bring many surprises and revelations to you all. Before we begin the Feast" Dumbledore started...
At that I could hear Ron groan and probably drool all over his plate.
"We will announce this year Head Boy and Girl!"
There were cheers from the tables. Hermione being so enthusiastic just twirls her fingering saying whoop dee doo...
"We have Roger Davies from Ravenclaw and Katie Bell from Gryffindor!" Dumbledore announced.
(a/n sorry I don't know what year they are suppose to be in so it works if I put them here).
"And this year 6th year prefects will work with the Heads. The prefect for Ravenclaw is Padma Patil, Hufflepuff Justin Finch-Fletchy, Gryffindor Hermione Granger, and finally Slytherin Draco Malfoy! Heads and Prefects please meet infront of the hall at the end of the feast. Finally you may now masticate!"
(Yes I used the word MASTICATE live with it)
As soon as the food appeared everyone began to eat. Dinner was uneventful soon enough Hermione found that it was over.
Dumbledore stood up and began," Now that we are well nourished time it is time for bed. Rest your minds and older years please escort your houses to their dormitories. Sugar Quills!" and with that the crowd begins to dissipate.
Hermione stood up and waited outside the Great Hall and saw seven other people emerge, Professor Dumbledore, McGonagall, the Heads and the Prefects.
"Ahh now that we are all here. Let us show you where your new living quarters will be," McGonagall said.
The students walked in and out of hallways for atleast ten minutes until they arrived on the fifth corridor infront of a portrait of a two people, a young raven haired woman and a blond man standing in front of a waterfall.
"This will be the prefect living quarters. This is Esperanza and Fidel. The password for this month will be 'With hope there's faith'."
Professor McGongall stepped through the open door with the prefects all behind her. Once inside the portrait snapped close.
All the prefects gasped at the sight of the common room. There are high ceilings. In one section there are books and on the other side there are two tables with chairs. Near the fireplace there are 4 couches with each house color, blankets, pillows and all. There was a balcony/walkway with two doors on each side. (Sorry if explanations are horrible).
"Ahem," McGonagall said bringing everyone out of their thoughts, "to the right of the balcony are Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Granger's room and on the left will be Mr. Finch-Fletchy and Ms. Patil. Inside the rooms will be a bathroom connecting the two rooms. There are portraits to the kitchens and the other house common rooms for you to patrol. The Heads common is down the hall if you need anything. You will have a schedule of meetings to attend with the Heads planning events happening around Hogwarts and what not. Now I expect there will be no fighting," she said eying Malfoy and Hermione, "If I do hear of any fighting I shall find other students to take your spots as prefect."
"The reason we are having the 6th year prefects stay together is because Hogwarts is no longer as safe as it use to be. Having the prefects closer to the Heads and Professors will allow them to hear commands quicker and help defend the students and the castle if needed. Later in the year you will all take defense training classes muggle and wizarding. No complaints. GOOD NIGHT," and with that the professor exited.
Hermione's POV
I hear Malfoy grumble about having to share a bathroom and live right next door to a muggle-born as I head to my room and hear a door slam shut.
'God where are his manners... It's not like he'd like the living arrangements either way. Shesh...'
I walked into the room to find it adorned white and as I explored I saw a note right next to the dresser.
Ms. Granger,
You may decorate your own room to your own liking. I hope you enjoy your new home.
Professor Dumbledore
I sighed and charmed my walls light blue and my bed midnight blue. When I was done my room I was pleased with my work. (I'm too lazy to actually think up spells. I'm sorry. ) I began to unpack my things and before I knew it I was finished. I looked at the pictures of my mother and father I put on the desk. I let out a sign and lay on my bed thinking about my mother and decided to write to her in the morning. Before I knew it I drifted off into sleep.
§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
The Next Morning Still In Hermione's POV....
I sat at the Gryffindor table next to Harry and Ron this morning. Just because they don't hang out with me any more doesn't mean we shun each other.
'Hmm... Maybe we should shun each other. That is always fun.'
I began to eat my breakfast and I hear Ron and Harry grumbling about their timetables. I shook my head and try to continue eating but it was becoming unbearable.
"Lord Ron what is it now!" I yelled getting annoyed.
"What are you talking about Hermione?" Ron asked.
"What are you grumbling about? Some of us are trying to eat our breakfast in peace!"
"It's our schedule!" Ron moaned.
"What about them?" I asked getting really agitated.
"We have so many classes with THEM again!"
"Lord Ron shut up! We don't even have with them first thing in the morning so I don't know what you are mumbling about!" I growled.
'I swear all I hear is whine whine whine. When will they grow up and shut up!'
I finished my breakfast and headed to Charms first with Ravenclaws and I tried to sit far away from Harry and Ron to escape there continuous complaining.
Charms went on fairly dull. We learned a new charm, which I mastered quickly as always. I finished the assignment quickly and while waiting for the rest of class to finish I began writing a letter to my mother. I told her of the living arrangements and how people here complain way too much. I wrote how much I wanted to go home and be with her. And I prayed that she was doing well. By the time I finished the letter class ended and I walked to my next class.
Days went by and little went on in Hermione's life. There were short encounters with Malfoy and other people. But other then that it was all right. Hermione and Malfoy were slowly beginning to get along. They patrolled the halls together sometimes where small talk was made with the occasional insults.
"WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING BEAVER THESE ARE MY NEW ROBES!"
"Well stop attempting to flaunt in the hall you oversized bleached ferret!"
As so the other prefects and Hermione... well they have always gotten along fairly well, but trust was beginning to build. Not that it got so fair that they were the best of friends but the small things such as holding the door open for someone, less name-calling and more civil conversations. Hey Rome wasn't built in a day so what makes you think that they would be all buddy buddy with each other so soon?
One day in particular things were rather dull at Hogwarts. The prefect's common room was far too quiet as Draco was off practicing quidditch and the other prefects were hanging out in their house common rooms. Hermione was sitting at window seat in the common room writing in her journal. She was getting worried because her mother hadn't written to her in days. Shaking the thought from her head, Hermione walked up to her room and came back down with her skateboard. She sat down by the window again and began fixing her skateboard. She sighs again and continues to work.
Hermione's POV
'Damn it why aren't there are decent places to skateboard around here...'
I continued to work on my skateboard as people started coming back to the common room. They all stared at my skateboard strangely.
"WHAT!" I snapped without looking up from my work. Nowadays everything seemed to bother me.
"What is that contraption in your hands Granger?" Obviously that has to be Malfoy.
"This Malfoy is called a skateboard. You put your feet on it and ride around."
I could tell he was still confused. I sighed and transfigured a desk into a mini ramp. I rode down the ramp and did a bunch of small grinds and hopped off transfiguring it again to a smooth plank. I did a bunch of ollies and other various things leaving Malfoy in awe. Ignoring him, I fixed the desk again and sat back down.
"Ta da..." I said.
Malfoy just shook his head and sat down on the couch. Soon Malfoy and Justin started playing a game of Wizard chess as Padma began to read by the fire.
"Hey Padma what are you reading?" I asked.
"Huh what. Oh I'm reading Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle," She replied.
"Oh a Sherlock Holmes mystery. I liked that book, but it sort of creeps me out," I replied with a small shudder.
"Aw what poor little Granger afraid of a little black dog" Malfoy says over his game of chess.
"First of all Malfoy that dog isn't little, and second..." I begin to reply.
Justin says, "Checkmate!"
"...You're going to lose..." I finish.
Malfoy lets out a gasp as I hear an owl pecking at the window. I let the owl in and remove the scroll from its leg. Before I get to say anything it swoops back out the window I unfolded the piece of parchment and began to read the letter. Everyone stared at me as my face fillS with surprise and horror.
§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
A/n What was in that letter that Hermione receive? Can't find out unless you read and review. Flame, do what you please. Nice comments are good but oh well.
Hopefully this will become a Hermione/Draco story, but if it doesn't work it will be a Hermione/ OC. Sorry if people are OOC. Feel free to suggest.
Wow... I'm editing this and it is really clunky and inconsistent. ;; sorry all for the inconvenience! I wrote this a year ago before I developed my writing skills!
