Hermione woke up on the 15th at 10:00 a.m. at the Leaky Cauldron where her parents had dropped her off the night before, got her trunk into the main room and had breakfast. People started to trickle in around 10:30 most were, like her, in their school robes. There were quite a few boys, there were a lot of boys I'm the only girl here! And so she was, and the only Gryffindor too from the looks of it. Every one else was from Slytherin, at least she saw an awful lot of green and silver badges.
"okay people listen up!" called a tall blonde witch near the fire, "I'm Sharen, one of your instructors. Now, does every-one have their wands on them?" there was a general nod of assent. "Good, I need every one who paid in advance to come up here and let me check you off so you can go on to the grounds. Leave your stuff hear it will be brought on to the grounds later." Hermione and about five boys made their way to the front. She checked them off of her list and gave them a large book and told them to stand to the side.
Two minutes later they were in a large clearing in the middle of a forest that had two lines laid out in rope. Another blonde witch called out "line up on the first line please!" Hermione nervously took a place near the end of the rope. Then Sharen came up and called for their attention. " I'm going to count you off into pairs when I give you a number wait until I call it out, when I do you will come forward and whom ever comes with you will be your partner for the duration of the course. There will be no switching partners just because your not with a friend." She began counting them off, Hermione was a two. When Sharen was done with the first line she began on the second one from the opposite end. When she had finished she called out "ones' forward!" two boys detached themselves from the crowd. "go through the left hand path until you reach a clearing with some tables in it sit at one of those tables and wait for me." The two boys departed. "Two's forward!" Hermione stepped forward and turned to see who her partner was and if she knew him. Oh no, not him anyone but him. She knew him all right for walking towards her with his trademark smirk on his face was Draco Malfoy. "follow the one's please you two." They followed the path in complete silence. When they got into the clearing they sat as far away from each other as possible. People slowly filed in, Sharen and the other witch were at the back of the crowd.
