At the sound of the mysterious voice Bethany had jumped off of Draco's lap and was now sitting cross legged on the compartment floor staring at the door way. Everyone else who had been chatting immediately quit and shifted in their seats. Standing tall in the doorway was Dumbledore. His light blue eyes sparkled beneath his half moon spectacles. "Now, I would like to introduce everyone to one another." His eyes did a scan of all the students, "as long as no one has any objections." He smiled. "Very well then."
"Well as I am sure you all know our Head Boy this year is Mr. Malfoy. He is a seventh year Slytherin. And you should all show him respect." Draco glanced over at Hermione and smirked and mouthed 'respect me mudblood.' She glared at him evilly. "And," continued Dumbledore, "our Head Girl this year is no surprise, Miss Granger. Miss Granger is a seventh year Gryffindor, and as well as Mr. Malfoy I would expect everyone to show her respect as well." Hermione stuck her tongue out at Draco and silently mouthed, 'you respect me.'
Dumbledore glanced between the two student his smile growing and a small laugh escaped his lips as he watched the two silently bickering. "Continuing on, our Gryffindor Prefects are Seventh Year Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Parvati Patil. Sixth years, Colin Creevy and Ginny Weasley," his eyes twinkled as he read off the names, "and our newest prefects Mr. Mitchell Dartal and Miss Trisha Louski." He along with the rest of the Gryffindors clapped.
"And our Slytherins are, Seventh year Blaise Zambini, Pansy Parkinson, and Millicent Bullstrode. For our sixth years we have Deana Listrando and Gregory Billent." He smiled at each of the Slytherins. "And their new prefects are Miss Bethany Astron and Mr. Anthony Calinsto." The Slytherins whistled for one another and threw dirty looks at the Gryffindors.
Dumbledore clapped along with everyone and then raised his hand to silence the group. And immediately the whistles and cat calls and clapping came to a stop. He ran his hand through his long white beard and grinned jovially. "Now I am sure you are all looking forward to knowing who you will be rooming with am I right?" He glanced at the students who all nodded their head rather enthusiastically.
"Okay you will be paired up by year. So fifth years you will room with a fellow fifth year." The fifth years all exchanged glances with one another wondering whom they would be paired with. "Miss Louski you will be rooming with Mister Calinsto." From one side of the room Anthony let out a low groan and a 'Oh Great.' Trisha too wasn't to happy she looked at Dumbledore and sighed. Dumbledore took no notice and continued. "which leaves Miss Astron to be with Mister Dartal." He nodded his head and seemed genuinely proud of himself.
"Sixth years will be the same, Miss Weasley," he smiled at Ginny who smiled back "you will be with Mister Billent." Both sixth years didn't hide the disappointment and groaned loudly. This time Dumbledore did notice and looked sternly at the two, "you will all see this is for the best." He nodded as if saying it was final and continued with his speech. "Mister Creevy, you and Miss Listrando will be sharing a dorm as well."
His eyes shifted and landed on Hermione for a moment before adverting them and resting on Harry. "Our seventh years just like the others will be rooming with a student from the opposite house as well as opposite sex. Miss Granger as Head Girl you and Mister Malfoy will be sharing a room." This time it wasn't just a groan that came out but a full yell.
"What! You can't be serious sir, me and The Mudblood!" Draco was standing up and was red in the face, opposite him Hermione was having a hard time controlling herself, her hands were clenched and her knuckles were turning white. "Sir please be reasonable," Hermione interjected, "I'd rather be with Zambini then Malfoy!"
Dumbledore merely shook his head. "You and Mister Malfoy will be fine. Now speaking of Mister Zambini, Miss Patil he is your roommate. Mister Potter you will be with Miss Parkinson and Mister Weasley with Miss Bullstrode." He once more stroked his beard and gazed at the students. "You will all thank me one day." With that said he turned and left the compartment swiftly.
As soon as Dumbledore had exited it started. "How dare he make us room with the Gryffindors!" Pansy was sitting whining next to Blaise. "He can not do this, I think we should tell our parents, they won't let him get away with it!" She glared at Harry who was sitting next to Ginny and pretending to be puking.
"Malfoy, Ferret, Prince of Slytherin! He is making me be with him." Hermione was shaking her head furiously. She was flushed and was hanging on to Parvati. "I can't believe this."
Parvati laughed softly and patted Hermione's head. "At least he's really cute. Well cuter then most guys in our house anyways. And it might be fun actually." She glanced over at Blaise and realized he wasn't even paying attention to Pansy who was still whining next to him. His eyes were still glued to Ginny. This made her smile more. "Hey I got something to cheer you up, look at Zambini."
Hermione and Ron who was sitting on her other side both peeked at Blaise. "He's looking at MY sister." Ron stood up and walked over to Blaise hitting him in the head. "Don't you look at my little sister like that, you nasty Slytherin scum." He marched back to the girls who were now giggling profusely.
Blaise stared at Ron rather confused but he shrugged and continued to watch the little red hair girl as she continued to laugh at Harry who was now pretending he was dead.
"Harry, stop!" Ginny laughed and poked Harry in his chest. "Sit up now, Harry." Her voice began more panicky as Harry continued to lay there not moving. "Harry! This isn't funny get up!" By now the rest of the compartment was staring at her and Harry who seemed to be frozen stiff. "Harry James Potter!" She shouted.
Hermione and Ron ran over to her and began to tug on Harry. "Harry, mate come on get up you're scaring the girls." Ron was starting to pale slightly as his best friend lay motionless on the seat next to Ginny. "Come on Harry it's starting to bug us all now." The room had completely fallen silent except for the hushed whispers of the Slytherin crew.
"Is he okay?" Trisha who had been chatting with Colin and Mitch was now leaning over Ginny's shoulder and watching Harry. "Is he breathing?" Hermione getting the hint leaned over and put her ear next to his mouth, hot breath hit her cheek and she nodded. "Well maybe one of them," she pointed to the Slytherins, "stunned him."
Just at that Draco and Anthony both stood up. "We didn't do anything you little brat." Anthony said looking at his new roommate. "Ever think maybe he's doing it just to get even more attention then he already does?"
With that Harry sat up and laughed. "You all are so gullible." The girls glared daggers at Harry and the Slytherins all looked at Trisha.
She cowered slightly and muttered softly under her breath. "Sorry."
They all went back to having conversations with friends and outside it began to grow dark. The rolling hills were passing them buy and looking like big black mountains with the sinking sun. They knew they were getting close and Hermione stood up swiftly. "Okay boys move yourselves out so we girls can change and then you can come back and change."
With a few moans and groans the boys all stood up and left the compartment. The girls all silently began rummaging in their trunks pulling off their muggle clothing and slipping into their black robes. Once everyone had gotten dressed the boys walked back in and the girls left.
The boys were less quiet then the girls. There was a few shouts about how gross it was changing with one another and they quickly threw off their street clothes pulling their robes over their heads quickly. The girls were called back in and things once more resumed as chatter.
Hermione had faintly heard a sound of swishing robes behind her head but when she turned no one was there. She shrugged it off and continued her discussion with Ginny about how great it would be to get back to class. She heard the sound again but ignored it, this time however a small pulling force was tugging on each of the prefects. They looked at each other and Hermione turned her head only to see a dark blue cloak sweep out of the compartment.
The pulling force grew stronger and the prefects found themselves seated next to their roommates. A few tried to stand up but were unsuccessful. Everyone looked over at Hermione and Draco. "Don't look at me, I have no clue what just happened...But I know who did it." Hermione sighed, "Dumbledore." The compartment let out a sigh in unison. She turned to Draco and shook her head. "Why do I have to get stuck with you?'
Draco shrugged and found it hard again to take his eyes off of her. "Because we both are the Heads?" He rolled his eyes. "And you are suppose to be the almighty and intelligent one." Hermione simply rolled her eyes at him and leaned back in her seat looking around.
Everyone else was doing similar things. There were only a few groups who were actually speaking to one another. Colin and Deana seemed to be getting along quite well. "So, how was your summer Deana, right?"
She nodded and smiled. "My summer was great, my parents and I went to the South of France and had so much fun. And yes my names Deana and your Colin?" He nodded and they continued to chatter away.
A little ways away from Hermione and Draco, Blaise and Parvati were talking. "I saw you watching Ginny earlier. You know Ron will kill you if you even think about going near her." Blaise sighed and hung his head slightly glancing over at Ginny who was trying hard not to smack Greg who kept huffing and going on about how unfair things were.
"Yeah I know, but theres just something about her." He shook his head and peeked at Parvati. "But now that I think about, you're quite cute." Parvati blushed and hid her face in her hands. "After the feast I might just have to get to know you better."
The train began to slow and the prefects all let out a hoot of happiness. The spell finally released them and they grabbed their trunks joining the queue moving through the corridors. They walked along until the train finally came to a stop at the Hogsmeade station.
Everyone quickly filed out and once again the spell was cast over the group. Harry found himself next to Pansy and they were being drawn to a carriage with Ron and Millicent. The four climbed in and huffed. "Damn this! I hate it. I don't want to be with you."
Pansy glanced at him and raised an eyebrow. "You think I want to be with you Scar Head."
"Mind your own business you pug."
"Keep your mouth shut Weasel." The four began to argue as the carriage started moving.
At the same time Blaise, Parvati, Draco and Hermione found themselves in the same carriage. "Great. Luckily we are in different houses and get to sit with out own kind!" Draco spat at Hermione and Parvati. The girls both looked at him and Blaise hit him in the head.
"Shut up Draco, you know maybe Dumbledore was right this could be a good thing." Both Hermione and Draco stared at him with open mouths and gasped. Parvati smiled and laid her head on his shoulder. "What? I didn't say anything." He looked away from his best friend.
"Granger at least make me know I'm sane, you don't want to be in a dorm with me right?" Draco glanced at the girl next to him and he felt something in his stomach that he quickly ignored and dismissed as hunger.
"Right. I would rather eat slugs then share a room with you." The carriage had now stopped and all the students were rushing up the front steps to the castle and heading towards the Great Hall for the feast.
