Harry and Ron entered the prefect compartment hoping for Hermione to be alone, but of course she wasn't. They saw Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zambini sitting across from a sleeping Hermione.
"Hello Potter, Weasley. Nice of you to grace us with your annoying faces." Draco said smirking.
"Shove off Malfoy. We're prefects just like you. It must really burn your ego to know your just like everyone else."Ron said smiling as he saw Draco's face go from a smirk to anger so quick.
Ron and Harry sat down by Hermione just as she was starting to wake. Noone said anything to anyone as other prefects joined them in the compartment, and Mcgonagal handed out assignments.
They reached the castle and sat at their tables they've been sitting at since year one and waited for Dumbledore to make his announcments before the sorting so they could eat.
Dumbledore stood and the hall grew silent.
"This year is a year of worry with Voldemorts return I can not stress enough about house unity.
This year I came to the decision thats in order for house unity to exsist I must help it along.That being said the Gryffindor prefects and the Slytherin prefect now share a dorm and common room as well as the Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw prefect.Unity will start with to me after the feast to retreive your passwords as well as where your dorm will be located.The forbidden forrest is off limits to all students, and also this yaer we will have a parents day.The first one will be one week before christmas break and then the last one will be one week before summer vacation.Notices have been sent out.Now let's tuck in." Dumbledore clapped his hands and food appeared infront of everyone.
Hermione picked at her food waiting for the feast to end so she could unpack and go to sleep.
Finally after waiting for what seemed like ever the dishes started to clear away, so she got with Harry and Ron and followed them to where the other prefects were waiting with Dumbledore.
Dumbledore handed Harry a map and Handed Hermione the password, and he did the same with the other 2 groups and then sent them off to find their dorms together.
"Well this should be fun." Pansy said sarcastically. "I can't believe I have to share a room with a goody goody Gryffindor."
Hermione turned and looked at her. "Like it's any better for me to wake up to your face every morning."
All the boys laughed while pansy just glared at them.
"Your just jealous." Pansy said.
Hermione smirked. "I'm jealous. Of what, not being called a slut like you? Oh please thats exaxtly what I want." She said sarcastically walking ahead of the group.
Draco and Blaise looked at Harry and Ron wondering where that came from.
They reached their dorm and Hermione said the password letting everyone into their common room.
"This is beautiful." Hermione said in awe.
"So whats the sleeping arrangments, do we at least get to pick that?" Ron asked.
Harry looked at the map for any kind of note Dumbledore might have left.
"I guess the 2 girls get a room and then we get to chose." Blaise said.Everyone nodded then went up the steps to see which one held their stuff. Hermione and Pansy's room was in the middle, Harry ,and Ron's was on the left, and Draco, and Blaise's was on the right.
they got settled, and unpacked then went to sleep in order to start classes tomorrow.
Hermione was the first one up that morning seeing how Pansy's snoring kept her up all night.She was waiting for Harry and Ron to get up in order to go to breakfast. All the guys came down the steps together.
"Hermione your up early." Ron said.
"Have you ever heard what a chainsaw sounds like?" Hermione asked.
Ron shook his head.
"Well listen to Pansy snore and then you'll no. How did none of the other slytherin girls kill her?"
"They wear ear pluggs." Draco said laughing. Hermione jumpped up from the couch.
"I didn't know you 2 were there also."
"It's okay we know how she sounds it kinda echos off the walls." Blaise said.Hermione smiled and they set off to breakfast together.
After breakfast they had double potions with the Slytherins.Everyone sat in their usual seats waiting for Snape to make his grand entrance.
Snape entered with his usual manner and took out a list.
"Your partners for the whole year will be as followed Granger/Malfoy, Potter/ Zambini, Weasley/Parkinson,Goyle/Finnigan,Crabbe/Thomas..."Snape finished the list and then ordered everyone to move next to their partners.
"Today we our going to be working on a past potion.What it'll do is take you to a point in a persons past which you will relive together to you both need to get out.Here are your ingredients, you have till the end of class. Next week you'll test them on each other.Begin."
Everyone got to work.
After lunch the sixth years had a free classs to do whatever they wanted so Hermione headed back to her room to start her homework.Just as she got her books out the portrait opened to reveil Draco and Blaise.
"Hi." Blaise said sitting by her.Hermione looked up shocked.
"Hi.You do know you just said hi to me right?"
"Yes. We're in sixth year now don't think it's time to grow up and putm our differences aside."
Hermione shrugged. "That would seem best since we have to be working house unity."
Draco sat down on the other side of her. "I think we've all grown up a little over the years. The past is the past."
Hermione nodded in agreement. "Does this mean we're all gonna call a truce and try to get along?"
Blaise and Draco nodded. "We're gonna talk to Potter, and Weasley after dinner while we do rounds." Draco said.
"I can deal with that."Hermione said getting back into her school work.
