Chapter 3: Getting Ready
Hermione woke up to the sound of the girls chatting about hair and makeup. Parvati and Lavender were giving makeovers to other girls. "Hey Hermy!" Parvati called out. "Morning!"
'Hermy?! What a name makes a face' "Good morning Parvati... what are you guys doing?"
"Makeovers," Parvati said with a small grin.
"Oh, I guess I'll just get ready for today," Hermione said. She grabbed her stuff and walked into the shower room. The shower room was rectangular and long. At one end were the sinks and mirrors. The 2 long walls were covered with doors; Hermione opened a door and saw a showerhead. The walls and doors of the cubicles left no gaps between the floor and ceiling so there was no way someone could spy on them. She observed that half of the cubicles had toilets and half, showerheads. She showered, brushed her teeth, dried her hair and put on some makeup. Since it was a Saturday, Hermione wore Muggle clothes. Dumbledore allowed Hogwarts students to wear Muggle clothes on weekends, and since the school year was in session, the rule still applied. She didn't bother putting on her Head Girl badge cause it would look out of place with her outfit. She was wearing a denim mini skirt, a yellow sleeveless top featuring a caricature and the caption 'Groovy Chick' in dark blue (lol Ü something I saw before...), and sandals. Hermione kept her hair loose and walked out of the shower room.
"Hermione, you look great," Lavender commented with a smile.
"Thanks," Hermione replied.
"Oh yeah, Professor McGonagall said for you to wake up the sleepyheads cause it's almost time for breakfast."
"Okay," Hermione answered. She had to wake up most of the boys. (Typical.) The last one she woke up was Draco, and boy, was he stubborn!
"Malfoy..." Hermione said. He stirred a bit, then slept on.
"Draco, get up," she said, slightly shaking him. He shrugged her hands off, and slept on.
"DRACO MALFOY! GET UP THIS INSTANT OR YOU'LL MISS BREAKFAST!" Hermione yelled. Most of the people in the room snickered cause she couldn't wake him up. Hermione glared at them, then tried shaking him again. He grumbled at what she yelled, turned onto his side and slept. Suddenly, Hermione got an idea. She walked over to the side where he was facing and sat on his bed.
"Lysander..." she said in his ear.
Draco woke up. "Hermia," he said.
Hermione suddenly got up. "Morning, good thing you're up now. Now get ready for breakfast; it'll be served in a few minutes," she said, going to talk to Lavender who was calling her.
Draco watched her go, thinking: 'Did she just call me Lysander or was it just my dream?', thinking back to his dream of A Midsummer Night's Dream, portrayed by various Harry Potter characters. Sighing, he got his stuff and made for the shower room.

Everyone was pleased to find out that the House tables still applied. Hermione was tackled by Harry and Ron as soon as she sat down at the Gryffindor table.
"Hermione!" Ron exclaimed, hugging her.
"See?! And last night you asked why I was making a fuss!" Hermione grumbled, but hugging back. Harry laughed and also hugged her.
"Okay, so how are the Slytherin girls?" Hermione asked as they got themselves some breakfast.
"They kept to themselves so we were fine," Ron said. "What about the Slytherin boys?"
"Very hard to wake up, but they just also stuck to their own devices."
They ate their breakfast in silence, savoring the fact that they were together.

After breakfast, Professor McGonagall summoned the Gryffindors and Slytherins from the Great Hall (which, by the way, is just across the room labeled DORMITORIES Ü) and into the Atrium.
"You will be visiting 2 departments today," McGonagall announced. "First, you will visit the Office of the Minister. Next, you will visit the Department of Magical Games and Sports. Then you will have your lunch; after lunch is the Department of Mysteries. After the Department of Mysteries, you shall have your dinner."
She looked around at all of them. I expect all of you to take notes on this for the 10 foot essay you've been assigned. In the essays, you will discuss the Ministry of Magic; its history, purpose and achievements; its departments along with their history, purpose and achievements; and your experience here." Ron grimaced at Harry and Hermione, but Hermione didn't notice cause she had devoted all of her attention to her teacher.
"Here is your medium for taking notes. Miss Brown, please pass out these books; Mr. Malfoy, please hand out these quills." Lavender started handing out Flourish and Blotts books which were didn't have any writings in them (mentioned in HP & the SS; a.k.a. notebooks Ü), and Draco handed out Dictation Quills (the quill mentioned in Book 5, Ch. 7, p. 131 Ü).
"Good day to you all." And with that, McGonagall entered a room near the lifts.
"Wotcher, guys," said a voice behind the assembled group.
"Tonks?" Harry asked.
"Yep," she said, grinning widely. Today, she was a blue-eyed redhead with layered shoulder-length hair. Her hair was flipped out. (Cool Ü) She was wearing a white shirt which said in red letters, 'UMBRIDGE IS A LOSER', with a face with its hand doing an L on its forehead (LOSER!!! hehe Ü); bootleg pants and sneakers. "Who are you again?" Draco asked.
"Tonks," she said.
"What stupid name is that?!" Pansy shrieked. Tonks glared at her. "Let's get started with - "
"Actually, her name is Nymphadora Tonks," said Remus Lupin, stepping out of a room.
"Why did you have to tell them my name?!" Tonks wailed. Pansy started to laugh at Tonks' first name. Remus ignored them.
"You might remember me; I'm your former DADA professor; and I'm now the Assistant of the Minister. You're all due at the Minister's office, so if you'll all follow me please." They entered the room Remus came out of, which was on the right of the door McGonagall walked into. There was a large staircase in the room, nothing else. They went up it; or rather, the staircase moved them upwards. (Think of it as a giant escalator. lol Ü) After a while, they reached two large doors. Remus knocked three times. A voice called, "Enter." Remus pushed open the doors and they all entered the Minister of Magic's office.

Oi, if you were wondering, the Ravenclaws' and Hufflepuffs' schedule's different from the Gryffindors and Slytherins. Oh... and I know there aren't any doors in the Atrium, but where would they eat and sleep?! And where would you find the Minister's office?
If you guys don't know Tonks and Umbridge, sorry... :( slight OOTP spoilers from here up to the next chapter... but that's it!
