Love or Hate??

Chapter 3

Draco's POV ~*~*~*~*~*

Draco suddenly woke up. The train had stopped. He stretched and yawned loudly. He had been dreaming. What was the dream about again? Oh well! He forgot.

He looked over at Hermione. She was still sleeping. He walked over to her.

"Granger! Wake up!!"

Hermione stirred a little. She shifted from her position. He sighed.

"Grrraaaaaannnnnggggger!!" Draco started to shake her.

She woke up. "Stop yelling. Geesh!!!" She rubbed her eyes and yawned.

"Now that you're up, let's get off." Said Draco.

"Hey! Whose cloak is this?" asked Hermione.

He looked up at her. It was his.

"Mine. You were getting cold so I put it on you." He said.

He snatched it out of her hands and walked out the door. He didn't want Hermione to think he was softening up.

Hermione's POV

~*~*~*~*~*

In the Great Hall, the students sat with their fellow housemates. They all waited for the new first years.

Half an hour later, the Sorting Ceremony had been finished.

Dumbledore stood up. "Let the feast begin."

Hermione heard her friends, Ron & Harry say, "Hear, hear!!"

She shook her head. Some things never changed. She looked down just as the food started to appear. She picked up her fork and knife and began eating.

************

The Feast had finished, Dumbledore was just finishing his speech. Then he looked directly at Hermione. She nodded.

After the other students were walking to their dormitories, Hermione walked to Dumbledore. Draco was already there with his usual sneer on too.

"Good, you're both here, now if will kindly follow me, you find out what your new dormitories look like."

They obediently followed Dumbledore with about 1 m gap in between them. Dumbledore led them to a quiet corridor. Then he stopped at a portrait of a lady, in her early twenties with rosy cheeks and bright blonde, waist length hair. She was wearing a blue dress up to her knees.

Dumbledore turned to face Draco and Hermione. "This is the entrance to your dormitories, this is Amelia," Dumbledore turned and pointed at the portrait. She did a little curtsey and said, "Hello, enjoy your stay here."

Hermione smiled at her. Draco nodded.

Dumbledore continued to talk, " Now your password is ' Ton tongue toffees', remember that." He turned and muttered the password to Amelia, the portrait door swung open and he walked inside. Draco and Hermione followed him. Hermione gasped she looked around. This was even better than the Gryffindor common room! To her left the fire was crackling away. It had a long couch that would have fitted 5 people and 2 separate chairs on either side of it.

To her right, there was a long table with 10 chairs. (A/N: I'm bad at discribing things _) it had a bookshelf near it too.

( The pic below is just so it can give an idea of what it looks like)

\ stair /

\ case /

In front of her was a long stair case that lead to their rooms. She looked at Draco. Even he couldn't surpress the look of awe from his face. He was just as impressed about their common room as her.

They walked up the stairs and stopped outside a door that had bubbles on it. To the left was a door with the letters HG ingraved on it. To the right was also a door with ingravings on it, but these letters said DM.

Dumbledore started to talk again. "As you can see, you both have your own rooms. The one on the left is yours Hermione, the one on the right is your room Mr. Malfoy. The room in front of you is the bathroom. These will be your rooms for the rest of the year.

"Well that's the introduction to your dormitories. Now I've got something to tell you. You both have to participate in making this years ball. It can be held when you want and you can call it what ever you want. All that I want you both to do is help design it .. and to co operate. You can have the prefects to help set it up. My decision is final. Good night to you both." He took a deep breath and walked out of the room with a twinkle in his eyes leaving Hermione and Draco shocked.

Hermione moaned loudly. Not again!!!

Draco's Pov

~*~*~*~*~*

Draco too was pissed off with Dumbledore's decision. How could this happen to him. Yet a feeling inside of him was sort of happy...

What are thinking! Stupid. She's a mudblood!

He shook his head. He had to stop thinking about her. Draco felt tired now, he walked to his room. He heard Hermione do the same as she closed the door to her room. He walked into his.

Inside, it had a four post bed (queen sized) with his house colours, green and silver. Way better than the dungeons! He changed into his boxers and climbed into bed. He closed his eyes and almost fell asleep at once.

A/n: How was that one? Was it good. I'm surprised I actually updated it so soon. If u can, give me some ideas.
