Chapter 3 – Living Quarters
They sat down at the Gryffindor table, Hermione and Ron bickering...yet again. Dumbledore did his usual beginning of term speech and told everybody 100 new items were listed on Filch's restricted list and it could all be viewed outside his office. And then Professor McGonagall entered with the bunch of cold shaken up first years that looked soaking wet.
The first to be called upon was a girl named Marissa Stone, two seconds the Sorting Hat sat on her head before yelling RAVENCLAW. It was another 20 minutes until the final student was called "Joanna Figg" McGonagall said finally. The hat thought for a moment before shouting "GRYFFINDOR" a loud uproar came form the Gryffindor table as they clapped on their new member.
"Geez, I'm starving" Ron implied. "Ron, you're always starving" Hermione snapped. Ron blushed slightly as Harry mildly chuckled at his best friends. Food filled their plates as Ron dug in like he hadn't eaten for a month, Hermione scoffed at this while Harry sat in awe at the sight of one of his best friend with their mouth so full of food they could barely shut it to chew. "Oh Ron, please, eat normally" "Yea Ron," Harry chimed in, grinning broadly. Dinner was over in a flash as their plates and food scraps disappeared.
"Come on Hermione, let's go" Ron said eager to get to their common room and chat. "Ron, have you no sense what so ever?" Hermione glared at him. "Ron, Hermione is head girl; she has to patrol the castle after hours" "Lucky you" Ron smirked in an ignorant tone. He knew he would rather be with Hermione than anywhere else in the world. "Well, goodnight the two of you, I mite come by the common room later ok" she gave Ron and Harry a quick peck on the cheek and rushed up to professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall showed Hermione and Draco to their new living quarters. It was located near the astronomy tower. Hermione gasped as the view of her new common room came into view. It was twice the size of the Gryffindor common room. Professor McGonagall took them on a tour of their quarters. First they went into the bathroom which was larger than the prefect's room; that was already huge. Then they came to a door with the words DRACO MALFOY etched into the glistening wood. They stepped in and to Hermione and Draco's surprise the walls were painted a dark blue with a hint of emerald green. Draco's four poster was king-size and had light blue drawing curtains around it. Then their professor led them to a glistening glass door. They stepped through it as they walked into a lovely purple colored room; Hermione's. The bed was exactly the same as Draco's except the hangings were of a dark blue. Hermione stood there; the sight of her new room dumbfounded her; it was magnificent.
"Now the password to the Syltherin common room is pureblood and the Gryffindor common room password is mandragora. The password to these parts of the castle is to remain to you two only am I clear?" "Yes professor" they said. "The password here is fizzle pop" with that their transfiguration teacher left the room, leaving the two heads alone; as they would be from now on.
"Goodnight Malfoy" "Night Granger". Hermione was astounded Draco didn't call an insult on her. Amazing that she thought. "Oh well" she said with a sigh. 'Harry and Ron can wait until tomorrow, I am way too sleepy'. Hermione walked into her room, shut and locked the door not bothering to change out of her robes she fell to the satin sheets with a thud; she was fast asleep.
