Chapter 12: Meeting at the Library

Disclaimer: We only own this party and a can tuna

Hermione's POV

Friday began like any other day. I woke up, took a shower, did the spell Dumbledore told me and picked out an outfit. It was a warm day, so I decided to wear a black camisole with an open button up t-shirt that had the school emblem on my chest. I put on a thin black tie that I didn't tie and wore a tan skirt that flared at the bottom. I put on black boots that said PMS in the same color as my skirt. I put a patch over my right arm, grabbed a robe and my book bag and ran to the Great Hall for breakfast.

When I got there, a couple of eyes followed me, and nobody except for Harry wanted to sit next to me. We walked together, with Ron at Harry's other side, to double Transfiguration. We took seats in the front row and sat down. Ron didn't want to talk to me because of the parseltongue thing and Harry didn't want Ron to think that he was taking my side on this but didn't want to focus all of his attention on Ron.

The door opened and Professor McGonagal walked in, The lesson went like it always did. I got us some points, we took a lot of notes, and we were dismissed with a reminder about the ball and announcing that more information was going to be announced at dinner.

I went to the library, because it was my free period, and sat down. I began to doodle in my sketchbook when I noticed that someone was watching me. I looked up and saw Draco and Blaise Zambini walking to me.

"What do you want?" I asked when they go to my table

"We heard that Potty isn't the only parseltongue in school, is it true?"

"Why would I care?" I said icily

"Because we hear that it's you, and that your eyes do marvelous tricks too"

Zambini just smirked. He hadn't said a word yet.

"And why would I care?" I repeated

"Well, because daddy would like to know, and I don't mean mine"

"So I'm guessing that the three stooges reject knows"

"We're not here too call anyone names..."

"No, you're here to see the freak show, but I'm sorry guys, I'm not a mirror or Pansy, so you'll just have to go to a bathroom to see it" I said as I went back to my drawing. It was of a ring, but I didn't know where it was from

"Actually, Zambini does know. He saw us when visiting with his father. Oh, and nice picture, I bet you look at the real thing all the time thinking about what you could have

had"

I looked down and realized that I had drawn the ring he gave me.

'SHIT!'

"I just draw whatever, and just because it looks like the ring, doesn't mean it is"

I began to get up, but Blaise pushed me down.

"What are you doing!"

"Your father gave us a responsibility, we are to see that we see it through" Draco said

"Let me guess, you're back to being my babysitter?"

"Right in one! Wow, you're smarter than you look" Draco mocked

"Fuck you!"

"Sorry, but that would be going out of line, I'm your babysitter, what would people think?"

"Whatever, I'm going to the Great Hall to meet Dumbledore, so I suggest that you either let me go the easy way, or the hard way"

"How about the easy way" Zambini said, "we wouldn't want you to go crying to your daddy"

We walked to the Great Hall, with them three steps behind me. I walked over to Dumbledore, who wanted to see me a couple of minutes before lunch.

"Since the double dance was your idea, I'm going to let you give all of the announcements" He told me.

I walked to the Gryffindor table and sat down. About 15 minutes later, when everyone was in the Great Hall, Dumbledore stood up an called for everyone's attention. The room silenced and all eyes were on him.

"I would like to first announce that there are some rumors going around the school about the events that occurred last night in the Gryffindor tower last night. These rumors are NOT true. I would secondly like to call upon Miss Granger to make an announcement about the dance tomorrow. Please give her your undivided attention"

I got up and slowly walked up to the platform where Dumbledore was waiting for me.

When I reached him, he handed me a piece of parchment.

"Um, the back to school party will be shared with another school in America. The other school will be arriving tomorrow at 7:30 and the dance will be beginning at 8. The rumors about the entertainment is part true. PMS will be performing, but one of the members is also a DJ, so we will be playing c.d.s and stuff. Students in the third year and under, you will return to your dormitories at your regular curfew time, along with the other students, who will be spending the night. Fourth and fifth years will go back at around 10:45. And the party will end for the sixth and seventh years at 12:30. The first, second, and third year girls will sleep in the Ravenclaw and the boys will be sleeping in Hufflepuff. The fourth and fifth years will be sleeping in Slytherin and the Sixth and seventh years will be sleeping in Gryffindor. They will be leaving on Sunday morning." I looked down at the list. "Um, The attire may be whatever you wish, and by that I mean it may be muggle or witch or wizard clothes. The rest is the same old stuff, behavior, no alcohol, yadda yadda" I gave the list back to Dumbledore and walked back to my seat next to Harry.

After lunch, Harry, Ron (who Harry had spoken to about last night) and I headed for Hagrid's cabin for Care for Magical Creatures with the Slytherins. We were looking at how to heal non-magical animals, like owls, when Hagrid looked up and yelled "'ello Professor,"

We all turned around to see Professor McGonagal followed by Judy, Rocco, Lisa, Dana, Rory, and Derek!!!

I jumped up and we all ran to each other, screeching! I missed them so much even though we were only apart for two days!

"Professor Hagrid, these are the students from the other school. They were sent early to prepare for the dance. Miss Granger will be escorting them today, so she may leave the lesson with them if they wish" McGonnagal said. She turned around and walked away as the seven of us began to squeeze each others' guts out.

Draco's P.O.V.

I saw Judy and Emma's other friends hugging her. Judy looked up and gave me a cold, hard stare.

'I wonder what that was about' I thought. I stood up to say hello to them, but the bumbling oaf of a professor began to continue the lesson and they had started to head towards the castle.

Judy's P.O.V.

I looked up and saw Drake looking at us. He looked like he was about to come over. I started to pull everyone to the castle.

"C'mon! Mine, you have to show us the school." I whined.

"Yea, this place looks amazing Crabby" Rocco said. He was so crushing on Hermione, and it sickened me. Who wants their older brother to date their best friend?

We walked all over the school, ending in the dining hall, which was called the 'Great Hall'.

"You guys wanna practice or hang?"

"HANG" we all said at the same time. We are so corny that we laughed at the question. A loud bell was heard, and it took all of us, except Hermione, by surprise.

"Shit" Hermione said

"What's the matter?" Derek asked.

"There are no more classes in session anymore, so now Drake and his friend Blaise are going to come looking for me. My father is so overprotective. He asked those two to keep a watch over me. It's like, hello, I'm only 16." She told us.

"Ugh! If our dad did that to us, I would have to be sent to Azkaban for what I would do." Dana said.

We walked to the library, I don't know why, but we just did. When we got there,

Hermione looked in through the door.

Hermione's P.O.V.

I was telling my friends about Draco and Blaise, when I thought of something really fun to do with it. I led them to the library. When we got there, I looked through the door. Draco and Blaise were in it, probably waiting for me. Good.
