Chapter 4
Hermione and Ginny got to the Great Hall in time for the sorting. They saw all the first years be sorted into their houses, and then Dumbledore made the annual speech.
"Welcome to everyone once again, and Filch the caretaker wanted me to remind you that the sixths floor is out of bounds, as is the forbidden forest. So please to not break any rules this year, and without further ado, tuck in."
There was a great clatter of plates and glasses as everyone started eating. A good half an hour after that Dumbledore stood up again and said "I would like to congratulate Neville Longbottom and Padma Patil, for making Head Girl and Boy this year,-"
Hermione found from her seat next to Ginny, that she didn't care.
"-and would like Virginia Weasley and Hermione Granger to come up here please, as I see there is a need for you to be resorted." He continued.
Hermione and Ginny stared in shock. Why did they need to be resorted? They were perfectly fine!
They stood up slowly, and made their way to Dumbledore.
"But Dumbledore-"Ginny began.
"Now now Virginia" said McGonagald.
Hermione was still staring, as was everyone else in the great hall. Nobody had ever been resorted before!
"Ok, Miss Granger, we´ll start with you" said Dumbledore.
She sat on the stool the first years had been sitting on, and the hat was put on her head.
"Why so sad my dearest?"It said "ahh, I see now. Dreadful, dreadful. Well, in that case you better be in-"
"SLYTHERIN!"
The whole great hall gasped.
Hermione looked to Dumbledore for help, but he just nodded his head encouragingly.
Hermione stumbled over to the endof the slytherin table, and miserably looked at Ginny. There was no way they would be together now.
Ginny put on the hat, and they all waited for a good ten minutes before it shouted
"SLYTHERIN!"
Ginny gave a weak smile and sat down next to Hermione. All the Slytherins stared at them.
"The mudblood?" "The weasley!?" "Theyr a disgrace!" "Mudbllods cant get into Slytherin!" "That must mean-"
Draco Malfoys eyes widened. She was a pureblood. She wasn't a mudblood. What did that make her? He had to be sure.
"Hey Granger, why aren't you a mudblood like you deserve to be?" He called.
Hermione looked slowly at him, and then tears filled her eyes. She quickly turned her head away.
The whole great Hall was looking at her. Harry and Ron rushed over.
"Hermione! We want to know whats going on! Were here for you, you can tell us!" they exclaimed.
"But your not" she whispered. All of a sudden Whisper jumped onto her shoulder, and Hermione could pull herself together and not cry.
"Oh, leave her alone you great oafs. Cant you see shes not gonna tell just anyone? Go away Harry, Ron." Ginny said.
Harry and Ron looked at her sadly, then they frowned, and went back to their own table.
Hermione and Ginny followed the Slytherin crowd, because they didn't know where the common room was.
They were escorted wordlessly to their dorms, by a couple third years. Their stuff had already been moved in.
The two sat down on their beds, and looked at each other. Then they got up, and hugged each other. They turned around with a sigh, to start unpacking. Luckily they had been given their own dorm.
They avoided everyone for most of the day, and whenever they bumped into someone, the Slytherins would sneer and stalk off.
"Why do you think we were resorted?" Ginny asked that night.
"I don't know Ginny. I really don't". Said Hermione.
"Do you think it has something to do with your parents murder? Or...well not real parents but..?" Ginny asked
"Maybe. They said I was pureblood after all." Hermione said, "But what about you? Why are you here?"
"Well, I don't know. Maybe to keep you company. Theres nothing special about me." Ginny said sadly.
"Of course there is. Maybe its cause your different from the other Weasleys." Hermione said gently.
"Maybe" Said Ginny.
"Lets go to sleep Gin-gin" Sais Hermione
"Sure thing Myna" Ginny said
"Cmere Whisper" Hermione mumbled as the lights turned off.
Draco Malfoy walked away from the door. He had just heard a very valuable conversation. So the mudbloods parents were killed eh? Well, that still didn't explain why she was pureblood, but he was getting there.
Review review review! I need to know when Hermione should find out Draco is her brother!
