Stop the Drama
I do not own Harry Potter or any of the other characters. They all belong to the wonderful J.K. Rowling.
Chapter Seven
The carriage ride was very short. Hermione couldn't believe it when the doors swung open at the main doors to Hogwarts.
The trio shuffled out of the carriage and walked up the steps to the large doors that lead into Hogwarts. Harry turned around and saw Malfoy not far behind them. He pushed Hermione and Ron along so they wouldn't get involved in another fiasco.
They great hall looked magnificent (as always). Hermione, Harry, and Ron made their way to the Gryffindor table. They sat across from Dean and Ginny.
Dean and Ginny were sitting next to each other holding hands. Ron looked angrily at the two of them and began to reach across to pull their hands apart.
Hermione stopped him by grabbing his hand. Ron, blushing, looked at her and mumbled something about only doing what his mum ordered.
Hermione looked at him sternly and whispered, "They aren't doing anything wrong."
Ron looked away and suddenly became interested in the sorting ceremony. Harry rolled his eyes at Ron.
The sorting was quickly over and Dumbledore said his traditional words 'tuck in' before the gold serving dishes filled with everything (well only food) you could imagine.
Ron piled everything he could get his hands onto his plate. Hermione looked at him disgustingly. She hadn't even started putting anything on her plate.
"Yer not startin' anuther club like SPEW are you?" Ron said between his many chews.
"No." Hermione said coldly. "Besides it is not SPEW its S.P.E.W." She began to fill her plate.
Harry chuckled to himself at his two best friends arguing again.
"What's so funny?" Hermione demanded as she looked into Harry's bright green eyes. Suddenly she felt her heart flip as he looked back at her.
"Nothing." Harry said innocently. He didn't even notice Hermione blush and look away. Ron looked between the pair of them and ate the rest of his dinner in silence.
The feast ended quickly. All the plates were magically wiped clean before Dumbledore stood to make his closing speech.
"Before you all go to sleep I would like to introduce you to the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Professor Gibbs if you would please stand." Dumbledore said.
Professor Gibbs was a tall thin woman with long flowing black hair. As she stood up her eyes twinkled in the light. Her young face looked happy and full of life. She smiled sweetly at the warm applause that she got from the students.
Dumbledore continued, "Professor Gibbs will also be our drama instructor for this years play production." With one last smile and round of applause Professor Gibbs sat down.
Dumbledore suddenly looked very grave, "On a less happier note, I recommend students be on full alert. Lord Voldermort is back into power. (some students flinched from the name).
"We do not know all that he is capable of at this moment but we are sure that it is something terrible. So I suggest all of you stay inside the castle at night. There is to be no sneaking out of the castle." Dumbledore almost looked scary with his crooked nose and the candle light reflecting off of his half moon spectacles. "Good-night." He finished simply. Most of the students sat still for a while staring at Dumbledore. They soon snapped out of it and slowly exited the great hall.
"I'll monitor the hall." Hermione said. "The password to the common room is Caddleswop."
Ron nodded,. "First years this way!" Ron bellowed. "First years."
Hermione walked to the hall and stood in front of the large doors. She waited until the last few people left the hall before slowly going to the common room.
She was hallway up the staircase when she heard voices trailing up from the dungeons. Hermione recognized Malfoy's voice.
She snuck back down the stairs and the voices became clearer.
"Mother says that the dememtors have switched sides. They have found that Voldermort is a much better master than Fudge ever was. Father will be out of Azkaban in no time. Dumbledore, the old fool, has no idea." Hermione heard Malfoy's voice from around the corner.
She held her breath in shock. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Before she was discovered, Hermione turned around and ran as fast as she could to the common room to tell Harry and Ron what she just heard.
"Are you sure it was Malfoy?" Harry asked Hermione after she had told them what had happened.
"Positive." Hermione insisted. "I would recognize his voice anywhere."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were sitting in three arm chairs in a corner of the common room. They were whispering in order to not wake anybody up.
Ron and Harry were still stunned by her news. "We have to warn Dumbledore." Ron said urgently.
Hermione agreed and looked hopefully at Harry.
"I'll go get the cloak." Harry said seriously. This chapter is shorter than the others because I wanted to throw a cliffhanger out there. So ha! Anyway please review and I'll work on writing the next chapter! Ok? Ok!
