So where had we left off? Oh right, the heads meeting. Well I'm really not going to go into detail there, its not very interesting. Just you know ground rules and such. Oh and Draco and I received the map to our dorms. We shared a common room, which eventually… became an advantage instead of a burden, but… for now, since our story's' only just begun… it remains a burden.
So we arrived at school with out any further problems. Other then a brief argument after the meeting, I have yet to have another encounter with the infamous Malfoy. As much as I despise admitting it Malfoy was looking extremely good looking this year. He'd stopped slicking his hair back, now it hung loosely in his eyes, jsut long enough for him to keep brushing it off.
I watched him walking across the great hall towards the Slytherin table. He was tall… really tall. He made me feel like a midget…but in fact that's not very hard, seeing as I'm only 5 foot 6 inches. Well… I suppose I'm not that small… I mean come on Ginny's only 5'3. I guess I just feel so small because I'm surrounded by giants. Harry comes in at about 6'1, and Ron, well Ron scores a whopping 6'3. Draco falls somewhere in between the too, probably around 6'1 1/2 or 6'2. I really wouldn't know. And on a more personal note…
I really don't care.
"'Moine" A voice snapped me out of my state of mind; I realized I had stopped right at the head of the Gryffindor table. "Come! Sit here." Prodded Ron's voice.
I slipped into the bench between Harry and Ron, and across from Gin. I turned my head towards Ron and saw his staring at me.
"Ron… I'm not mad at you, but I swear to god if you don't stop looking at me like that my elbow will meet with your genitals. Believe you me, I can guarantee it wont be very pleasant."
Ron looked away, his eyes staring straight forward. Much better. "You know I didn't mean it though… right? Cause you look amazing this year, really different, but you… you looked amazing every other year too."
"Ron, just stop grovelling."
"o.k."
He stopped talking and that was all I needed. Suddenly the table was filled with the colours of different foods. More than you could imagine. Now… I spent the better half of my summer watching my figure, but tonight, well I decided I'd take a night off, pig out. I loaded my plate with a personal favourite. Mashed Potatoes. Along side them were some peas and carrots, oh and some chicken. I shoved the food down my throat, I hadn't eaten all day.
As I sat back after I meal well ate, I realized how extremely exhausted I was. My whole body seemed to be crying out for sleep and rest. I pushed my plate away from me and rested my head on my arms, folded out in front of me on the table.
My thoughts were finally failing me and as my eyes drifted closed and I was slipped into a state of rest, Dumbledore stood up and began to speak.
"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts, one that may prove to be most interesting. This year comes as a close for many of your students. Those who have been fighting for Hogwarts since they first set foot in our doors, it will be sad to see them go, but I can guarantee, that this group will have many successful people. So ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Hogwarts, from those who have been here a while to those who have just walked through our doors."
The room erupted in applause and for some reason I felt tears sting my eyes. I had really realized that after this year, I may never see Hogwarts again. And to tell you the truth… I really didn't like that idea. Hogwarts was like home for me, as mine in London collapsed around me. My parents were getting a divorce, but I have long since come to terms with it. Though it's not final yet.
"And on a more final note, I would like to introduce you to this years head boy and head girl. Draco Malfoy of Slytherin, and Hermione Granger of Gryffindor"
I was snapped out of my thoughts by Ron who was pushing me towards the front. Right. I walked to the front and took my place beside Malfoy in front of Dumbledore.
"I'm sure you both will serve the school in anyway possible." He nodded his head at us, and we both returned to our seats.
After small chatter with those at the table, I bid them good day and exited the great hall, I wanted to see our rooms. I followed the map and wound up in front of a large picture which displayed a young girl being pushed on a tired swing by a boy around the same age.
"Why hello there Miss, Password?" The little boy said with a grin. I glanced down at the paper I was holding.
"Primer amor" I said with a triumphant smile. I hadn't known how to say it, but Professor McGonagall gladly explained it too me. When I asked what it meant, she replied with an honest answer.
"You'll find out eventually." Well eventually wasn't soon enough, I'd look it up.
The portrait swung open ad revealed to me a large room, with white tile floors and white walls. On the floor before the fireplace was a large black and white carpet and on top of that saw a large couch and two arm chairs. It was quite a stunning site. The fireplace was of a white grey, and black marble.
My jaw was hanging. I turned around and behind me there were walls after walls of bookshelves, covered in… well books. "It's like heaven on earth." I muttered to myself.
After the complete tour I almost felt exhausted, it was a huge place. My room had been decorated beautifully, but it just didn't feel quite like home… yet. A few spells later and I knew I'd have it just the way I want it. After checking out the bathroom, by the way, was practically the opposite of the common room.
It was huge. A while porcelain tub the size of a pool was off to my right as I entered. My feet padded across black tile floors, and led me to a large white shower stall with a glass door. As I turned to my left I saw a counter with black marble topping, and large white sinks. Above that hung a very large mirror.
"Well Malfoy should be happy." I said to myself, "He can actually get a proper look at his head up his ass." I began to laugh; I'd have to tell him that one.
Long after the grand tour of the place, I slipped back into the common room. Malfoy must be off gallivanting with one of his sluts, because he had yet to arrive. I went scanning the shelves of book until I found what I wanted, "Ah ha!" I pulled it off the shelf.
'Hogwarts a History' I'd read this book over a thousand times and I knew it had a list of Hogwarts passwords and its meanings. Hopefully it have ours in it. Curling up in one of the arm chairs I began to read.
"Granger…" Malfoy called, "Granger get your arse up." I didn't move. I was much to comfortable. "Granger NOW!"
"Malfoy what the fuck do you want? It's a Saturday I'm allowed to sleep in." He rolled his eyes… even though I didn't see it.
"That you are Princess. But it's not Saturday, its Friday night still, I just thought you'd like to be in bed, rather than a chair.""Wow…" I said cracking my eyes open slowly, "A Malfoy actually knows some common curtsey... astounding."
I swung my legs out in front of me and sat up. Only to have my vision clouded over and my head cry out in pain. I hissed and put my hand on my forehead.
"What is it?" Malfoy's voice sounded a little impatient.
"Nothing, just head rush." I told him. I forced myself to my feet, only to have my knees collapse and me tumble to the floor. My body tensed waiting for the impact, except… I never hit the floor. Instead Malfoy's arm shot out and he grabbed me around the waist, keeping me on my feet.
I slowly regained my balance and my vision. I took a deep breath and craned my neck to look up at Malfoy.
"Thank you." I whispered.
"Whatever." He released my waist and walked away. Before ascending the steps he turned around, "Are you going to need help up the steps, I really wouldn't want to see you fall and smash that beautiful face of your."
Sarcasm… of course, I mean this is Malfoy right? A moment of chivalry from a Malfoy, ruined by that mouth reminding me that he is in fact, a Malfoy.
"Beautiful eh?" a said, a grin spreading across my features, "So you think I'm beautiful Malfoy?"
"It was a slip of the tongue mudblood, get over it."
I shook my head "You think I'm beautiful." I accused. I actually had no idea why I was teasing Malfoy in such a playful manor, but I was for some reason, quite giggly… I think I need some sleep.
"I've seen worse." He said with a shrug of his shoulders. He turned around and ascended the stairs, leaving me at the bottom shaking my head.
"Hey Malfoy" I called before he disappeared into his room, he turned to me and cocked an eyebrow, "Did you know our password means first love?"
The next morning I arose quite early. I slipped into a pair of jeans and a black tee-shirt. Humming quietly to myself, I stood in front of my full length mirror, examining myself. Turning to my side I noted my breasts, quite big, but not too big. They had most defiantly grown… I hate it. All they ever did was give boys perverted ideas. Lifting my shit I patted the pocket of flesh below my bellybutton, my diet had done some good, but there was still a slight bulge of fat, nothing a little exercise would kill.
Facing my front and tugged at my hair. I had dyed it a deep chocolate brown to spite my parents. I was originally going to go black… but I just didn't have the guts. It had been loosened into soft waves, but sometimes, if it was particularly muggy my hair would puff up and go quite frizzy.
I pulled my hair up and tied it in a knot at the top of my head, pieces fell into my face. Noting could ever be perfect.
That was the frist time Draco ever called me beautiful. I remeber feeling all bubbly, and when he had said it it was like I came crashing down to earth with the sudden reality. He had just called me beautiful. And even to this day, when he says it, the way he says it, it manages to get me all flustered and giggly.
I was going to make this chapter longer but I decided not too, sorry, anyways I hope you guys enjoyed the second instalment.
