But before she could enter the bathroom she heard the swinging of the portrait opening and hesitantly turned around to find a very angry Draco Malfoy. Uh oh. Hermione's hand instinctively went for her wand but stopped at the sound of Draco's voice.
"There's no need to get your wand mudblood, I'm not going to hex you," he seethed while stalking towards her. "No, that would be too easy." Her heart was pumping hard and she had that strange sensation again. That same one that she had on the Hogwarts Express. He was beautiful yet malicious all at the same time. Her hand was still clutching the wand in her pocket; she didn't trust him as far as she could throw him. He had started up the stairs now at a slow and deliberate pace.
Their eyes locked as he continued his assent towards her. Five steps left, four steps, three, two, one. Finally they were standing face to face, with Hermione having to tilt her head back a bit too look him straight in the eyes. She was terrified, but she wouldn't give him the pleasure of cowering before him. So with a defiant glare she tossed her hair back and looked into his gray eyes alit with malice.
"I'll find a way to break you. Not physically, my father's proved to me that mental torture is much worse. And with you being miss know it all, it will be hard to break you, but I do like a challenge." Reaching his hand out Draco tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, pushed past her, and walked into his room shutting the door behind him.
Hermione stood dumbfounded in the hall; she didn't know what to think. Did he just, did he actually willingly touch me. Why do I feel so flushed, he just threatened me, I shouldn't be feeling like this. Putting her hand to the spot on her cheek where had just touched, she absentmindedly turned around into the bathroom and closed the door.
After a few minutes had passed Hermione was able to calm her troubled mind and fully appreciate the spectacular bathroom she was currently in. There was a gigantic bathtub the size of a small pool with faucets that had different colors of bubbles that came out. It was similar to the prefect bathroom that Harry had told her about when he had gone into one in fourth year, except this one was much more extravagant. There were more faucets, that upon turning she found that the pink one released bath rocks, the blue one released bath beads, and the orange button made the jets go one.
Along the shelf that was above the bath there were all sorts of shampoos and conditioners. There was also a full-length mirror and a two cabinets, one with a large H on it, and the other with a large D. Before taking her bath Hermione locked the bathroom door then out a few extra locking charms on it in order to keep out a certain blond haired slytherin boy.
Hermione took a quick bath, got dressed then headed down to the Great Hall for the beginning of the year ceremony. She was thankful to find upon exciting the bathroom that Draco had already gone down to the feast. She entered just as the first student was heading up to the sorting hat. Harry and Ron started waving their hands at her, pointing to the spot they had saved for her. "So Hermione how is your new dormitory?" Ron asked as she sat down between the two. "Oh, it's wonderful," Hermione, whispered on account of the ceremony beginning. Ron had obviously gotten over his shock of seeing her new and improved look. She went into a detailed description of her new surroundings while Harry and Ron listened intently, although she had a sneaking suspicion that it wasn't her surroundings they were interested in. Hermione's suspicions were soon confirmed when Harry asked his next question. "So has Malfoy tried anything yet?" Harry demanded and questioned. "Yeah, because if he has we'll hex him into oblivion." Ron said. "Guys, guys calm down, I've only been in the dorm for like five minutes." "Well that's plenty of time for Malfoy to try something." Harry argued. Hermione sighed, it was sweet that they cared so much for her, but sometimes they are way to overprotective.
"Look, if he tries anything then I'll be sure to tell you guys right away okay? So stop worrying." Hermione replied. Grudgingly the boys agreed with her proposal, but that didn't stop them from muttering under their breath and throwing glares at Malfoy.
After the sorting hat was finished Dumbeldore gave the new students the rules about the forbidden forest, the switching staircases, introduced the new prefects and head's, (which was very embarrassing what with all the slytherins jeering at her.) then they finally had their dinner and got their schedules.
"Let's see if we have any of the same classes Mione." Ron and Harry said. Hermione's schedule went as following. Advanced potions Advanced potions Arithamcy 2 Arithamcy 2 Advanced Transfiguration Advanced Transfiguration Care of Magical Creatures Muggle studies Hermione had advanced transfiguration and care of magical creatures with both Ron and Harry, but had advanced potions with Harry. (Harry only took it because Dumbeldore insisted that it would be for his own good.) And she had muggle studies with Ron, whose father insisted that he take that class. After they had compared their schedules they bid each other goodnight and headed up to their dormitories.
"Unity," Hermione said to the portrait and it swung open to allow her into the dorm room. Stifling a yawn she walked through the portrait and stopped dead in her tracks. There to her dismay was Malfoy, lounging on the green sofa with a paper in his hands.
"Well well if isn't dear muddy, I had a nice little chat with Dumbeldore before I came back up and proposed an idea to him. He thinks, and I agree, that it would be an excellent idea if in order to improve our inter house relationships we spend more time together, so now you and I have every class together. Sweet dreams....Muddy." And with that he rose from the couch and went to his room. Rubbing her temples she leaned against the door frame and muttered," This is going to be a very long year."
