Chapter 4
"Zulu....Gryfindor!"
The entire Gryfindor table burst out into applause as the last of the first years got sorted in to their house. Alina Zulu looked extremely happy to be in Gryfindor.
Hermione saw Harry look at the Slytherin table and smirk at Blaise and Draco, who just scowled at him in return. She gave him a puzzled look and he explained, "She is the daughter of England's chaser and she is just as good. Ever since they changed the rules she is able to play and we need a chaser. But so did Draco and now he has to have tryouts."
Hermione shook her head at how immature guys could be and about how serious they took the sport of quidditch.
Then Dumbledore stood up to make his speech. "Welcome, welcome students, to another year at Hogwarts. First the rules: the Forbidden Forest is as in the name Forbidden, Mr. Filch has added ten new items on his long list of items that are not allowed, we have new curfews also. First threw third years, ten o'clock, in the common room, fourth and fifth-eleven, sixth and seventh-midnight. Also our head girl and boy this year are Hermione Granger of Gryfindor and Draco Malfoy of Slytherin. Well now that is said and done; Dig in"
"Finally."
"Man, Ron, you eat more than any one that I have ever seen"
Well now that we all have our bellies full, it is time to go to bed. Prefects please take your houses to your common room. Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy please meet Professor McGonagall up here at the staff table. I wish you all a goodnight."
There was an all of the sudden wave of sound as everyone started talking.
"First years follow me!" yelled Ron.
"I'll see you guys later, k?"
"Bye 'Mione"
"See ya!"
Hermione met up with Draco half way and smiled at him as they made their way up to where the transfiguration teacher was standing, waiting.
"Good, you are both here. Let's go to your new home, shall we?"
They took off. They walked down corridor after corridor. Up stairs that seemed to go on forever. It took them at least thirty minutes to get to their dorm. At last they came to a picture of....themselves.
"Hello," said picture Hermione.
"Yeah hi," said picture Draco.
"Hi"
"Hello"
"Now you two must pick a password," said professor McGonagall.
Hermione and Draco looked at each other.
"How about Dragon?" asked Draco.
"Typical, you would want the password to be your name."
"Yep, why not?"
"Fine, dragon it is....for now."
Picture Hermione spoke up, "Ok, welcome to your new home" and the picture frame swung forward.
Hermione, Draco and Professor McGonagall walked into the common room. Draco and Hermione were both in awe when they saw it. It was huge. On the white stone walls hung tapestries of all colors, such as, colors for all of the houses, with their emblem, there was a purple one, a navy blue one, and black one and a white one. There were two stair ways, a small kitchen. The furniture was all black leather. There was a fire place and above it there was a picture of a lion and a snake.
"Your rooms are up the stairs, Hermione to your left, Draco to your right. You will share a bathroom. Notice the tapestries on the walls, they have passage ways behind them that lead to various places. The house ones, to the house they represent. The purple on goes to in front of the library, the blue one goes to in front of the Great Hall, the white one to in front of the Hospital wing , and the black one, in front of the Headmaster's office . The kitchen, go up to the cabinets and tell it what you want, same with the refrigerator and the freezer. You can have anything. You are allowed to have friends up here as long as you are good. You know what I mean. That is all I can think of for right now. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Have a good night."
She left, leaving the two to look around at their dorm. Hermione looked at Draco and said, "Tomorrow is a Saturday, so let's ask Harry, Ron, Blaise, and Ginny to stay over tonight."
"Ok sure."
"Let's look at our rooms first, so let's say, meet you down here in thirty minutes?"
"Ok"
Hermione went up to her room, up the right stairs. She opened the door and was sad to see that it wasn't decorated to anything. It was just a wood floor. Then she noticed a note on the door that said: "Dear Ms. Granger. Congratulations on making Head Girl. About your room, all you have to do is tell the room what you want, and you can change as much as you want. Yours truly, Professor Dumbledore."
"Cool," said Hermione. "Let's see here, how about a full size bed with red and black beddings. Big fluffy pillows. With the pillows and comforter all down feathers. A black cherry dresser and a big walk in closet. A big mirror, not that big, that's good. The floors to a black cherry. Good. Now a book shelf and night stand. Little lamps, nice and a chair and entertainment center over there. Good."
Hermione looked around and was happy with her new room. She noticed a door over on the left wall. She opened it and walked in to the bathroom. It was so nice. It was black and gold and silver. It had and swimming pool size bathtub, a Jacuzzi, a shower stall and a long counter that had two sinks with all of their toiletries already there. There were towels hanging on two symmetrical towel racks by either door. Hers were red and had H.G. in gold letters, same for Draco but green and silver with his initials. She decided to open the other door to see how Draco was coming along.
When she did she saw him sitting on his huge black and silver bed looking around. He had a wood dresser and a few chairs. His bookshelf was covered in books and his floor was now a marble type thing. She looked at him and smiled.
"Are you ready to go yet?"
Draco jumped. He didn't notice that Hermione was there.
"Sorry to scare you."
"No it's ok, I was just thinking. Has it been thirty minutes already?"
"No I was done and was wondering if you were, if your not then I can just wait downstairs."
"No I'm done. Since you saw my room, can I see your room?"
"Sure."
They went through the bathroom so Draco could see Hermione's room and the bathroom. He commented on how nice it looked but the red should be green instead.
When they got down to the common room Hermione said, "You go get Blaise and I will go get the others."
"No, I want to go to the Gryfindor common room."
"Why"
"Never been in there."
"I've never been in the Slytherin common room"
"And for good reason."
"Oh, and why is that?"
"You're not in Slytherin."
"So you're not in Gryfindor."
"So?"
"So you think that you should be allowed in other houses dorms but not the other way around.?"
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"Because Slytherins are better."
"It's good to know that you haven't lost that witty charm that we all know and love."
"Where would I be without it?"
"Ok let's go get them."
"Fine let's go"
