Backwards:
"Oh… Sorry… It's just that… I was supposed to be a Slytherin, but I got into a house totally
opposite and enemies with it. Ugh… and now everyone hates me." Cody confessed.
"I don't hate you. Anyway, I guess people are just backing away from you because of your brother… I mean… no offense or anything… Just… he treats everyone in Gryffindor like… garbage. Especially muggle-borns." Hermione looked down.
"Are you that Hermione girl?" Cody asked.

Chapter 3: Common Room Search
"Uh…. Hermione Granger. Yeah, I guess so." Hermione answered, a little befuddled.
"Yeah, yeah. Heard some things about you…. I don't think Draco hates you though." Cody stated.
"Oh, well…. You need to watch him in action here. You haven't seen the school Mal--Draco." Hermione said.
"Okay. But I've lived with him…. I think I would pretty much know him." Cody said simply.
"What did he tell you about me? How did you know I was err…. Hermione." Hermione asked.
"Well, during the summer, he tells me everything. He described you to me. He said you were-" Cody got interrupted.
"Get away from my brother, mudblood." Draco sneered.
Hermione gave a 'I told you so' look at Cody.
"What were you thinking when you had that hat on, Co?" Draco demanded.
"I was thinking 'hmm, what house would I get in'." Cody replied sarcastically.
"Cut the sarcasm, Cody. You bloody well know that the Sorting Hat places people in houses that they want to be in. What were you thinking??" Draco answered with venom.
"I was thinking that I should be placed in the house that looks right for me." Cody explained.
"You should have thought that you wanted to be in Slytherin. I can't believe this!!" Draco yelled.
Cody rolled his eyes at his brother said "Bye Hermione" and stormed out of the Great Hall.
Draco watched his brother leave, mumbled something about watching 'his' mouth, and went back to his own table.

"Now That's what I call a meal." Ron said as the trio headed back to their Gryffindor Common Room.
"Ron, please." Hermione laughed.
"Well, it was good." Harry agreed.
"Yeah, I guess." Hermione said.
"So, what happened with…. You know, Cody?" Harry asked Hermione.
"Well… He knew who I was…." Hermione told Harry and Ron what happened from beginning to end. By the time she was finished, they were all sitting in the Common Room.
"Wow. Cody sure knows how to handle Malfoy. I wonder what Cody was going to say about Malfoy talking about you." Harry thought aloud.
"Well, I guess it was something about being a ugly mudblood and more." Hermione guessed.
"Nah. Or else he'd just be lying." Harry told Hermione.
Hermione blushed.
"Well, whatever it was…. I know it wasn't nice. So, anyways…. Cody seems like a really nice person. Personally, I'd like to get to know 'em." Hermione said.
"Sure, I do too." Harry said.
"Yeah…. I guess I'd like to know him too." Ron sighed.
"Well, maybe tomorrow we'll run into him." Hermione said hopefully.
"Maybe." Harry said.
"Maybe." Said Ron.
"Okay, So…. I'm gonna head over to my Common Room. Talk to you guys later!" Hermione said hugging them both, and waving goodbye.
Hermione stepped out into the hall and realized that she did not know where her Common Room was.
Luckily, Ernie Macmillan walked past Hermione in a hurry.
"Hey, err…. Ernie?" Hermione called after him.
"Yeah?" Ernie said stopping short and turned to look at Hermione. "Oh, hi Hermione." He blushed a little. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know where the Common Room is." She admitted.
"Oh…. Well…. Neither do I. Do you want to help me look for it?" Ernie asked.
Hermione laughed. "Sure."
The two began to walk around in search of their Common Room for 20 minutes or so.
Suddenly Hermione stopped short and Ernie bumped into her.
"Sorry." Ernie said.
"Shh!"
Someone walked past them.
Hermione began to follow the person quietly.
Ernie followed right behind her.
"Who's tha-?" Ernie was about to ask.
"Shh!!"
"Bu-" Ernie started.
"It's Malfoy." Hermione whispered back.
Malfoy turned a corner.
Hermione waited a second and followed.
Ernie still followed behind Hermione, pretty clueless.
Malfoy stopped at a blank wall, and stood in back of a blue carpet.
"Wingardium." He whispered.
The carpet moved upwards swiftly and 4 stools magically appeared. Malfoy sat on one, and the rectangular part of the floor that was under the chairs began to move downward. Something like an elevator.
Hermione watched in awe.
Ernie and Hermione waited a few minutes and went over to the same place Malfoy stood previously.
"Wingardium" Hermione whispered.
The rug moved once again and the chairs appeared.
Hermione and Ernie sat down and the elevator-like floor moved downwards.
As soon as they were below the floor, the Prefects Common Room came into view.
Hermione gasped.
The Common Room was about as big (or bigger) as two Gryffindor Common Room's put together.
"Amazing!!" She said.
The Elevator like object they were on, came to a stop and they got off."
The Room was decorated with all of the house colors, there were several couches around the room, each one with a Prefect's name on them in gold print on the back.
There were bookcases covering every wall and Hermione had a smile plastered on her face.
"This is fantastic!!!!" She exclaimed.
Ernie was already laying down on his couch.
"It is great, huh?" He asked rhetorically.
Hermione looked to her right and saw a moving spiral staircase.
She ran over to it and got on.
Just like escalators. She thought.
When she got upstairs there were 4 doors, 2 on each side.
Once again, in gold writing were the names of the prefects on the doors.
Hermione saw her name and opened her door.
The room was colored in Burgundy and Gold.
"It's HUGE!!" Hermione exclaimed.
Her bed was king sized, and decorated in gold sheets and burgundy pillows.
She had windows around the room. They were 4 feet long and 6 feet wide, with sparkling burgundy curtains.
There was a desk by one of the windows, a wood drawer by her bed, and a wooden bookcase by the door.
Hermione smiled, jumped up and landed on her bed.
Her covers smelled like roses.
Hermione smiled and fell asleep dreaming of partying in her dorm.
&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&
Hermione woke up the next day (Sunday) and decided to go and do something with Harry and Ron.
As she left her dorm, she was in pink Capri's, and a pink tank top, with her hair in a ponytail with a pink bow. (A/N: This Is After She Took Her Shower LOL!!)
Hermione crossed the Common Room when she oddly felt someone staring at her.
She looked around the room.
Malfoy.
He was sitting on his couch, a book in his hand.
Instead of reading his book, he was staring at Hermione.
"What?" She asked.
"Nothing, mudblood. Why are you looking at me?" He sneered, turning back to his book.
"Because you were looking at me." Hermione rolled her eyes and headed out the Common Room.
"Only you would be so clueless." Draco mumbled, rolling his eyes when Hermione left.
--------------------&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&--------------------
"Hey guys!!" Hermione greeted, sitting between Harry and Ron, who had saved a seat for her.
"Morning Hermione." Harry responded.
"Hi 'Mione." Ron said while pouring eggs onto his plate.
Hermione watched a little boy enter the Great Hall next to a boy taller than he.
Hermione saw the little boy wave and part from the other boy.
Cody began to walk in the direction of Hermione.
"Hi Hermione!!" Cody spoke happily.
"Hey Cody. How has Gryffindor treated you?" She asked.
"Pretty Good. Some people seem a little intimidated…. You know, treating me too nice, I guess because of Draco." He answered.
"Perhaps. Or maybe they do just want to be your friend." Hermione suggested.
"I dunno. Doesn't matter." Cody shrugged and walked down to the end of the table and sat by himself.
"He's so nice." Hermione said, turning back to her food. "I just hope he makes some true friends."
"He's cool." Harry said simply.
"So, I was thinking maybe we should hang out today. Now I'm thinking of inviting Cody too!" Hermione spoke up.
"Hermione!! Have you lost it? If we ask him to come with us, Malfoy will be right behind!" Ron argued.
"It's better than seeing Cody by himself." Hermione replied.
Dumbledore stood up from his seat.
The students in The Great Hall turned to him.
"Last minute announcement students. I'm sorry for this, yet it will be fun I guarantee you! In 2 hours you will be allowed to visit Hogsmeade to shop for a…. Welcome Back Ball!!" Dumbledore waited as the students turned to each other happily and let them speak a bit. "You may wear anything you wish, also. That is all. Have a great day!!"
Hermione turned to Harry and Ron.
"Now we've definitely got something to do!!"
