Well here it is!!!!!
~*~*~*~*~~*~*~**~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
His face looked emotionless, and then she thought she saw him smile a bit but it went as fast as it came. Harry went over to Ron and they started talking.
Harry's POV * *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
He was so shocked by her answer. He quickly understood she really hated him. He didn't let that get to him though, he answered back:
I am a Head student Hermione, Can't you see the badge
He then saw her looking at his badge and blushing. He thought it was the cutest thing, then she said in a whisper -I didn't know.
He looked at her as she turned her head away and began to read her book. Harry walked over and started talking to Ron about the broom he saw at diagon alley called the Icenavigator 3000.
Ron said that according to Quidditch Weekly magazine it the fastest model ever built by any broom company. Harry was getting rather thirsty so he walked over to the mini refrigerator and got out a butter beer for him and Ron.
-Hermione would you like a butter beer??- stated Harry.
-Yes but I think I can get it myself, I don't need your help Hermione said standing up and making her way to the mini fridge. As she was going to open it, Harry grabbed her by the wrist and turned her over so she was looking at him. She felt electricity going throw her hands. It wasn't hurting, it kind of felt soothing.
-Hermione, you can't be mad at me forever. I know what I did wrong, but I regret every little thing- Harry said.
His eyes were sincere and truly sorry. She felt her knees go week, a weird thing, which had never happened to her before.
-You may regret it she said, getting away from his grip, feeling a little dizzy. But I just can't forgive you I nearly lost my parents, and I..I nearly died.
Harry groaned dear lord was she blind - have it your way then...- he said going over to Ron and giving him his butterbeer, Ron was looking out the window lost in his thoughts.
The trip was good and little Annie was nowhere to be seen. Harry guessed she was somewhere making friends so he didn't bother to ask. When they got to Hogwarts, they got on the carriage. Ron sat between Harry and Hermione because he obviously saw the little argument they had back at the compartment, and decided to be of a little assistance and separate them.
They got into the great hall and sat down at the Gryffindor table. Harry sat down across from Ron and Hermione. Professor McGonagall went into the great hall with the first years which included Anne. Professor McGonagall went up to the teachers table, grabbed the stool and set it forward.
Now when I call your name, you'll come forth and I shall place the sorting hat on your head and you will be sorted into your houses.
All the little kids looked terrified, except for the curly haired girl that was Hermione's sister. Harry smiled at her and waved. She looked up at him and smiled; he couldn't help but see the resemblance between Hermione and her.
Though her hair was curly instead of the bushy hair Hermione had back in those days. Anne had hypnotizing blue eye were as Hermione had those intriguing brown eyes. Anne waved back; she also waved at Hermione who smiled at her.
Brill, Jason- SLytherin!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dewey, Amanda- Ravenclaw!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jackson, Keith- Gryffindor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mountain, Katrina- Hufflepuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heinz, Amelia- Gryffindor!!!!!
Ron kept and annoying habit of groaning after every name they called followed by a weird sound from his stomach. After a while Ron gave up and said almost screaming - Ohhh for gods sake, I'm starving!!!
Mcgonagall looked his way for a moment and Ron became visibly little and his ears turned bright pink by the second. Then she called:
- Granger, Anne!!!!
Anne looked up and went to the stool, she put the hat on her head and the hat said:
Ohhh another Granger - said the hat to her - exactly as bright as the other. Capable of doing fantastic in two of the houses, but I am no one to separate family. So better be..... GRYFFINDOR!!!!
Hermione clapped her hands with so much energy, as her sister came happily to the Gryffindor table and sat next to her. Hermione gave her a big hug and congratulated her.
- Well done little Annie- Harry said smiling, and then he hugged her while she laughed.
- Yeah - said Ron hugging her after Harry- congratulations little Annie.
- Honestly!!! - Anne said laughing still - you two are reacting as if i wasn't going to be a Gryffindor.
Harry laughed at this, all this time Hermione was giving him an odd look and then she returned her attention to McGonagall who continued with the list. Then Mcgonagall finished and Dumbledore stood up.
After opening his arms in a welcoming gesture Dumbledore said - Welcome to another year at Hogwarts, I would like you to listen to me for a few seconds before we can eat. He looked at Ron with a bit of a smile.
First, I would like to remind you that the Dark Forest is out of bounds for every one. Second Mr. Filch has asked me to remind you that he will be extremely careful in his mischief searching. Third, this years hogsmeads visits will be for all years. Lastly, but certainly not least, this year our Head students are Mr. Potter and Miss Granger, now stand up so that everyone can see you.
Harry saw that Hermione was blushing quite a bit because she was proud of finally reaching her goal as Head girl or for the fact everyone was watching them and clapping happily while Anne was saying THAT'S MY SISTER. Dumbledore then continued - Now I won't want to make you wait, DIG IN!
Everybody began to eat as their plates filled with food, especially Ron who was really hungry. Harry wasn't that hungry but he ate a little. They were going to go to the common room when Dumbledore held Harry and Hermione back.
Go ahead Ron, we'll catch you later, take little Annie here to the common room. - said Harry. And he couldn't help but laugh at her protests that she was that little while being dragged by Ron.
- Harry, Hermione please follow me I will show you to your Head Common Room. - Dumbledore said. Harry held his breath, he had totally forgotten about the head dorms.
They walked around until what seemed like forever and then they finally stopped.
Ah, ha here we are The Head Common Room -said Dumbledore. - Now I will leave you to it.
What would you like the password to be?? - Said the portrait of a rather old wizard with green robes sitting on a chair.
After a few moments of silence Hermione finally said...
-What about Marshmallow?? She was trying to sound indifferent but the sound of excitement in her voice was inevitable. Harry couldn't help but smile at her excitement, this was her dream since she first started at Hogwarts. Harry knew that all the hard work that she had done through out the years finally paid off.
- Marshmallow will do. - Harry said in pitch voice.
Hermione turned over to face the portrait and said- Marshmallow; we want the password to be Marshmallow... The old wizard bowed and let them in.
Harry couldn't help but look in awe as they, stepped into the Common Room. We saw the biggest room we would ever see at Hogwarts besides the Great Hall of course.
The room was designed to be in Gryffindor colors which are red and gold. There was a fireplace to other left with a red couch facing towards the fire, to our right there were two rooms with our their names on them.
*~*~*~*~*~ HARRYS POV*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I went over to check out my room and the walls were red with little gold sparks. It had what seemed to be a King bed with red and gold sheets.
His robes were already on his bed. He had just realized that he had his very own bathroom or so he thought.
He looked over to the left of his bed and saw a nightstand and on the nightstand were pictures of him, Ron and Hermione at last years Halloween ball. He remembered that day so well; Ron had made a joke about professor McGonagall's costume.
Harry and Hermione had burst out laughing and the photographer had taken a picture of them like that. That's when they were really close. There was also a picture of Harry grabbing the snitch at one of his quidditch games.
He walked into the bathroom and there was a hot tub, a sink, a mirror, a toilet and a regular tub. He was really exhausted and decided to take a little nap in his new huge four poster bed.
*Hermione's POV*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I stood there starring at the place it was so huge. There was a dinning table, a chess set, and a big book shelf with plenty of books for me to read throughout the year. I looked around and saw a list of my duties and dates in which I would have to appear at the prefect meetings. I saw Harry walk into his room and I decided to check out mine. I walked in and saw the most beautifully decorated room in my favorite color blue and my bed had matching sheets.
I had a closet; and I had a vanity table to put all my cosmetics on. I had a mirror and a window that gave me the view of the lake.
Ohhh blimey, my sister is going to love this - I thought smiling. There was a door and I decided to open it. When I walked in I expected it to be a bathroom but I found myself staring at a large dormitory just like mine but with different colors. I immediately supposed it was Harry's and my suspicions were confirmed when I saw him sleeping on his bed.
He looked so cute when he slept. What in bloody hell was I thinking!! Harry was the most irresponsible, untrustworthy, guy you could ever meet besides Malfoy of course. She looked around his room and it was pretty nice. It suited a boy like Harry to have a room like this. She saw another door straight ahead and opened it. Hermione had finally found what she had been looking for, the bathroom.
It was beyond what she imagined it to be. She was proud she worked hard all these years, all that hard work paid her off with all of this.
But she found herself thinking that none of this would have been possible without Harry. I mean he had saved her countless times after all. She shook her head and dismissed all these thoughts, and after taking a bath she went to the Gryffindor dormitory to look for her sister and possibly Ron.
Hermione went in the Common room and spotted Ron and Anne playing chess. She had what seemed like lion slippers on. She had on her pajamas and was clearly not in a good mood. Hermione laughed a bit, she sank into the armchair next to them and after a few minutes Ron said - Checkmate.
- URRRGgg- Annie said looking at the chess board hoping she could turn it into dust- Why do you always win???
- Well little Annie - Ron said passing a hand through his pajama shirt in moch air of royalty- that's because I'm Ron, the king of the Chessboard.
Annie was about to remark something bad but just kept quiet. Hermione stood there laughing only to take Annie by the arm and make her stand up gently.
- Come on you two, wont you want to see the Head Common room?? - Hermione said while dragging her sister to the portrait hole, Ron nodded smiling.
When they got there, all thoughts of displeasure that Annie had where cleared away because she was to busy staring at the head common room.
- Come on midget - Hermione said opening her rooms' door- that's Potters room Ron- she said bowing her head into Harry's room direction. She then entered her room with Annie.
- Wow Mione, THIS IS AWSOME - Annie said jumping on Hermione's bed while falling on her butt.
- Yeah and you should start studying for tomorrow's lesson, its your first - Hermione said in a bossy like manner while tickling her sister who was laughing hard to death.
- I *laughs* already know *laughs* I know the first chapter of every lesson- Annie laughed and was soon breathing normally.
- That's my little sister - Hermione said smiling- Now get your little butt out of here, and go directly to the common room.
Annie nodded - You got it Bossy pants- She said as she exited the room.
- Hey I HEARD THAT!!!- Hermione said to the door which was now closed.
*HARRY'S POV*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next day in transfiguration Professor McGonagall gave them a list of projects that they would be doing throughout the year to prepare for their N.E.W.T.S. She had said something very shocking:
These projects will not be done individually they will be done in pairs, and not in random pairs. I have already chosen who you shall be working with. Now in the Gryffindor common room (as she said this she turned to look at Harry and Hermione) and in the Head Common Room as well, you will find the list of pairs. You shall take a look at the list and find out who you shall be working with.
Now for this class we shall work with total human transformations, better said, Amnimagi. I know there is a restriction, but Dumbledore has added it to the program and into the NEWTS.
These areas of the magic are very dangerous. All of you are bound to pick an animal and become such an animal. It involves making potions, researching for the right spells and much more. It's all on the blackboard now this isn't due for some time. I will give you, more information if you start on it right away.... you are dismissed.
The class groaned and collected their books. They all exited the room. Harry took his books and exited the class. That had been an interesting class. He couldn't believe he was going to be amnimagus, he smiled. He went to the head common room and took a look at the list. It said:
Ronald Weasley & Lavender Brown
Seamus Finnegan & Pavarti Patil
Dean Thomas & Padma Patil
Draco Malfoy & Pansy Parkinson
Vincent Crabbe & Millicent Bulstrode
Gregory Goyle & Blaize Zabini
Neville LongBottom & Anna Franco
Harry Potter & ????????.
He finally reached his name at the bottom of the list and took his finger across it. He followed his name across to see who his partner was. It was Hermione Granger.
-Great!!- He thought- she isn't going to want to work with me.
As soon as he finished that thought Hermione came into the common room and looked through the list. Harry looked at her for a moment to see her reaction.
Hermione looked awe strucked. She took a moment to look over the list again and then she glanced at Harry. Harry saw her frown, he already knew why.
*Hermione's POV*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I had found out that I was indeed working with Harry Potter on this and all of the projects for the rest of advanced transfiguration. It wasn't that bad though at least it wasn't Malfoy....
- So Mcgonagall paired me up with you Potter - I this rather said rather coldly.
He looked at me with narrow eyes- I guess so...
- Well I hope your ready too work because I don't want you sitting around doing nothing while I'm the mule here doing all the work!
- Ohhh.. you know me better than that Miss Granger and by the way, I was planning on working with you and helping you with the project because half of the grade is mine!! I would feel horrible if I knew you did all the work alone. Besides this is supposed to be a group project right!? Can't you just quit it; i told you i was sorry!!!!
-Yes it is, well anyway I was just giving you a heads up to make sure you were willing to help me with the project. Well I'm going to my room, Later.
I went to my room and rested on my bed. I suddenly kept thinking about how much I was torturing Harry with all this nonsense about the promise. Wo.wo.wo.wo.wo, pause and rewind did I just say that? Wait do I really feel guilty?????............ NAH!!!!!!
The months of October and November went by pretty quickly since it was basically projects, lessons and essays that would prepare them for the N.E.W.T.S. My sister was making me prouder everyday.
Even if she isn't as serious as I am, she is still the best student in all of her classes even flying. A thing which i hate, but i decided it to give it a try this year, it couldn't be that bad.
This is the only time am writing a disclaimer for the rest of the story since this is a very proper disclaimer.
