Chapter 5
After dinner Dumbledore called Draco and Hermione to the teacher's table for a quick meeting.
"Now, you both know you'll be living together. Obviously you won't be living together in the Slytherin or Gryffindor dormitory. Professor McGonagall will be taking you to your new dormitories." Professor McGonagall appeared behind Dumbledore and motioned for Draco and Hermione to follow her.
They walked past the kitchen, past the Room of Requirement, past the dungeons and stopped in front of a portrait of a pretty woman with long black hair and magnificent blue eyes. She was wearing a medieval styled dress that was midnight-blue. Hermione made a mental note to find a dress like it.
"Good evening Lady Liy. These are the Head Boy, Draco Malfoy and the Head Girl, Hermione Granger." Professor McGonagall pointed to each of them in turn then her attention focused on Draco and Hermione, "So, pick a password you two."
"Friendship." Hermione said at the same time Draco said, "Shock." Then they started bickering about which password to use.
Professor McGonagall gave them a weary look, "I suppose a compromise could be made... what about shocking friendship?" Draco and Hermione looked at each other then nodded.
"Excellent," Lady Liy said, "Shocking friendship it is." Then the portrait swung open and Hermione and Draco stepped inside after saying 'good-night' to the teacher and portrait.
It was much like the train compartment but much, much bigger and brighter. The walls were a lot like the sort of walls you see in a brand- new house. Actually, it looked just like a brand-new house. Sunlight poured in from every angle. Rainbows splattered the room because of the light going through the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.
"Very...muggle." Draco looked impressed, though. Who wouldn't?
The bathroom was completely tiled with blue and green tiles. The bathtub was huge. Like a hot tub, but a lot bigger. Like the bath tub in the prefect's bathroom, it was covered in taps that poured out different perfumes, foams, and bubble baths.
After exploring the study, the exercise room, the rec room, the kitchen, and their own Room of Requirement, Hermione decided to explore her own room. So she wished Draco a good night and headed to the room, next to the bathroom, with a gold plaque with 'Hermione Granger' written on it in red calligraphy.
Her room was much like the common room but there were fairies and strawberry vines crawling all around the room. There was a picture in her room of (at this Hermione gasped) her and Drake when they were kids. Mia waved at her with her right hand but her left hand was laced in with Drake's hand. "Hi Mia, you're all grown up!" Drake said, laughing. Hermione smiled and waved at the two as Draco walked into her room and looked at her as if she was insane.
"What are you waving at Gra...Hermione?" Draco quickly corrected himself, remembering the truce he and Hermione had made.
"Can't you see the picture?" Draco looked at her as if she was insane again, Hermione sighed, "Ok...never mind. I think that, for some reason, the pictures in our rooms aren't viewable to the other roommate."
Draco shrugged as if to say 'whatever.' Then he wished Hermione good night and walked through the bathroom connecting their rooms into their room. Drake started waving his arms frantically as if to catch Draco's attention but Mia promptly stepped on his foot and Drake started crying and then stopped when Mia hugged him. Hermione thought this was sweet and fell sleep, dreaming about Drake now that he's grown up.
