Chapter Six
Hermione jumped out of the carriage, because just then it stopped in front of the entrance door. She ran blindly and pulled the enormously heavy door open and ran inside. She ran straight to the bathroom, her hands covering her face.
Draco just sat there in the carriage, touching the place where her hand had smacked his face. It was burning and he supposed it was scarlet now. He didn't know why she minded. If he ever did a thing like that to a Slytherin girl she would be screaming for more. He wasn't used to this at all. This was the second time she had slapped him, he was glad he didn't have an audience this time. But how was he supposed to face her once more, now that they shared a dormitory?
Hermione wept in front of the sink in the bathroom. She had turned the faucet on so that the water's gurgling would hide her sobbing. She looked into the mirror which murmured soothing words to her. Her eyes were red rimmed and she had a flushed face. She did not want to enter the great hall looking like this. Everyone would stare at her, and she didn't want the attention. Harry and Ron would start asking her what happened, and then they would make a huge scene of it. She wasn't used to the attention that Malfoy had just given her. Nothing like this had ever happened to her, all the boys back home didn't even approach her because they considered her a know-it-all bookworm. Now that she had changed...Well now was a different story. She had seen her neighbor Nathan ogling at her as she got into her parent's car ready to go to Kings Cross Station.
Hermione quickly performed a charm that she had found from Ginny's Magazines. It removed the red rims from her eyes, and her flushed face turned into a pleasant blush. She smiled weakly at the mirror, and then slowly redid her makeup. After all, Malfoy was considered to be the sexy Dark Prince of Slytherin wasn't he? And he was attracted to her...Well she was just going to play hard to get. She smiled as she walked out of the bathroom door.
Malfoy walked in to the great hall with a few last minute stragglers. He didn't see Hermione at the Gryffindor table anywhere. He sat down between Crabbe and Goyle. Professor McGonagall dragged in the battered sorting stool, and frightened first years made a line in front of it. He saw Potter and Weasely glancing around the great hall for Hermione.
Just then the door slightly opened and Hermione slid through. She was beaming and beautiful. He was shocked. She had run away from him as if she was going to go hide herself in a bathroom stall and cry for hours. She did not once glance his way. She seated herself in between Ron and Harry, and watched the first years get sorted.
After the sorting Dumbledore stood up. "Welcome to another new year at Hogwarts!" He looked beaming down at Hermione, Harry, and Ron. He was met with applause. "Now, before you eat I must make a few important announcements. Firstly welcome first years and just a reminder that the Forbidden Forest is forbidden hence its name." He chuckled. "Also Mr. Filch has just informed me that he has added a few more things to his list which are not allowed. It is on his door if you wish to view it. We also have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Luministra." Everyone stood up and clapped while she beamed and smiled at everyone.
"This year we will be experiencing a very special event. I don't know how many of you remember the triwizard tournament we had three years ago. The schools that participated did not get to spend much time at Hogwarts after the series of unfortunate events that followed." He paused. "So a school will be joining us for a part of the year! It will be Durmstrang, because Madam Maxime is too ill to arrange the trip for Beauxbatons. Durmstrang will be here in one week. We will greet them the same way as last time; I propose they will be arriving by ship. We will also be having a ball in their honor that is why you were required dress robes. And this ball is for everyone! Now that is all, tuck in and enjoy the feast!" He sat down and banged his goblet with his spoon.
Instantly the platters filled up with the delicious food cooked by the house-elves. There were platters of chicken, and turkey stuffed with delicious stuffing, steaming soups, stewed vegetables, and so much more. Everyone was filling their plates; they had all missed Hogwart's meals over the summer. Hermione looked over at Harry and Ron who were eating triple the amount of everyone else's as if they had been starved.
She shook her head at them grinning, and then settled down to eat herself. In a half an hour the platters cleared and in place of the steaming platters was an array of desserts; kidney puddings, pastries, and cakes of all kinds. She picked up a chocolate dipped strawberry and bit into it. From the other side of the room she saw a pair of steel grey eyes watching her, their gaze never wavering.
