Chapter 11
"Who
is this new teacher of yours professor?" asked Severus
Snape,
"That's for me to know and you to find out."
Snape rolled his eyes and took his seat next to Dumbledore at the
teacher's table.
"Severus I believe your question is
about to be answered the new teacher has just arrived. I shall go out
side to meet them." Dumbledore left and went to stand by the
stone steps.
"Ah miss granger how was your journey?"
"
Quite enjoyable thank you professor."
"Come inside
the other professors are anxious to meet you and if you're worried
Mr. Wood turned up ten minuets ago."
Hermione walked into the hall and was surprised that the first person to talk to her was professor Snape "Miss granger? I thought you were dead!" he exclaimed
"No. I'm very much
alive." She gave a wearily smile as she shook Snape's
hand.
"Well I'm very glad to see you again miss
granger."
Hermione smiled at him "same here
professor"
"Please take your seat, the children are
about to arrive," Hermione sat down next to Dumbledore and her
beloved crippled charms teacher. Professor flitwick
"Miss
granger if you be so kind can you please set up the sorting and do
the honours of getting the children from the lake."
Hermione
really wasn't expecting that but replied "of course. Let me
dress in something nicer." She transfigured her robes and
started Setting up the sorting the sorting was easy all she had to do
was position the sorting hat and three legged stool in the middle of
the stage were the teachers table was and waited.
"I
believe the children have arrived."
"Ok professor
I'll go meet them. Thank you." She left the hall and saw the
older students were making their way to the hall.
Hermione
waited by the lake entrance and saw that the first years were already
at the shore waiting to be let in. Hermione gave a thumb up to tell
him that he could take the children inside. "first year this
way."
The first years followed her into the castle and
stopped at the stairs were they stopped. They gathered up in a bunch
infront of the huge oak doors and looked at Hermione
nervously.
"Welcome to hogwarts my name is professor
granger and I will be teaching you all transfiguration while you are
at this school. In a minuet you will be sorted in to your houses,
chosen by the sorting hat. The houses are Hufflepuff, ravenclaw,
Gryffindor and slytherin." Hermione looked in the hall and
Dumbledore used his hand to tell her to come forward "The
sorting is about to begin good luck."
Hermione opened the
door and walked inside with the first years following nervously
behind. She looked round as she walked down the aisle this was
hogwarts but it wasn't her hogwarts. Where Ron and harry wouldn't
being paying attention to anything just punching each other, where
she would be reading a new book from the library or Ginny flirting
with dean Thomas. She knew no one. She carried on walking until they
reached the very front of the hall.
"I will call each of
your names and once I have you will put the hat on your head and sit
on the stool and wait to be sorted into a house."
Hermione
grabbed the scroll and opened it.
"Attkins
Brian"
"Gryffindor!" shouted the hat. The table
on the very left of the hall gave a massive cheer as the boy sat
down.
"Bucklehurst Chloe" a girl with pigtails
strutted over towards the three legged stool.
"Slytherin"
The
list went on until she saw a name she recognised she tried her best
not to scrawl.
"Krum Marcus"
"Slytherin"
Finally
the sorting was finished when "Yeoman Matthew " was put
into Hufflepuff.
Hermione took her seat on the teachers' table
and Professor Dumbledore stood up "two words everyone. Eat
up!"
When dinner was over Dumbledore stood up again. "
I have an announcement to make. We have three new members of staff I
want you all to welcome Mr. Saunters who will be you new defence
against the darks art teacher." There was polite applause."
Ex Gryffindor head girl miss granger who will be your new
transfiguration teacher and head of the Gryffindor house." There
was load applause especially from the boys " and Oliver wood
your new quidditch teacher coach." There was a massive cheer
from the griffindor table Oliver was seen as a god of quidditch to
them even after eleven years.. The applause finally died down "now
it's time to go to bed good night!"
Hermione got up and
made her way to the griffindor tower to give the fat lady the new
password.
"Well if it isn't miss granger. What a
beautiful young woman you've grown into." Said the fat lady
politely.
"Thank you"
"So what will be
the new password?"
"Draconis love"
"Oh
I see. You were in love with him," Hermione stared at her in
shock.
"How do you kn-"
"The wall have
ears miss granger, but the portraits have both eyes and ears. We saw
you two fall in love miss granger we saw you run away and we saw
Draco's heartbreak As well as yours."
Hermione looked at
her " no he doesn't, he said I was noting but a mudblood. What
sort of love it that to you?"
"He said that to
protect you. His father would have killed you on the spot. It takes a
great love to break your own heart to protect that you love the most.
He loves-"
"Shut up!" shouted Hermione "no
more! I ran away to from him because he used me! Stop telling me he
love me because I know your lying!"
"Don't you dare
say that to me. You hurt everyone that you cared about by running a
way. What did you achieve? Nothing! Love remains for ever it can
never be broken. I thought someone as smart as yourself would know
that!"
Hermione remained silent until the Gryffindors
began to wait by the portrait. "The new password is Draconis
love. Goodnight." Hermione turned to the fat lady "where is
my room?"
"Just up the hall there on the left. The
picture of Salazar slytherin."
"I'm a Gryffindor why
do I get a picture of Salazar slytherin."
"Tradition"
and the fat lady walked to another portrait.
Hermione walked
up to the painting of Salazar slytherin and looked at him. He was
almost a spitting image of Draco Malfoy. He had light blonde hair
pale but the only difference his eyes were dark almost black.
"Oh
a muggleborn." Salazar slytherin looked at Hermione with a
little distaste.
"What if I am?"
"Nothing
my lady"
"I know you don't like my kind but I want
you to know that one of your kind and he showed me what real
purebloods were like power hungry and rich."
"Not
all of us. You obviously didn't know this person very well. I know
who he is a certain Draco Malfoy?" Hermione remained quite. "Yes
You where in love but he knew you couldn't be together and long as
his father was alive so he broke your heart to save you. I have a
similar story to that."
Hermione completely ignored the
bit about Draco and wanted to listen to slytherins story. "Really?
Can I hear it!"
"Fine if you must. You know Rowena
ravenclaw?" Hermione nodded "she was a muggleborn just like
you. She was very smart and beautiful and I was in love with her. We
had a short affair and when news started reaching my family. I had to
break her heart because they would have killed her they saw it as a
disgrace to the family name. In turn she also broke my heart she
married godric griffindor as revenge. That's how my prejudices
against muggleborns started."
"I never knew
that."
"Hardly anyone knew, but my lady I tell you
one thing. Do not throw away what you had so long ago. It will come
back to haunt you. It already is I can tell by your eyes you may be
happy now but if you leave it you will regret it for the rest for
your life." He paused "So what will be your
password?""
"Iris" Salazar looked confused
"it's my favourite song."
"Ok my lady,
goodnight and you think about what I told you."
"I
will. Goodbye." Hermione looked at her room it was exactly like
her head girl suite coloured in Gryffindor red and gold it even had
it's own library. But Hermione wasn't thinking about that.
"Does
he really love me? " She asked herself as she lay on her
king-sized bed. " What if he does? I've treated him so
badly."
Hermione looked round and saw her owl perched on
the windowsill. "I'll floo to the ministry tomorrow morning to
speak to him after school."
She lay on her bed and fell
into a deep sleep and dreamed about a great love she felt many years
ago.
