Chapter 5
Filling Out the Parchment
Hermione awoke on Saturday at 8 am, feeling completely refreshed. Yesterday was very overwhelming with all this news about Camp Alsilicis. Finally she was going to start her summer vacation. Hermione jumped out of bed, took a shower, then dressed. On her way down to breakfast she grabbed the parchment she had picked up last night, and ran quickly out of her Head dormitories, running straight into Draco Malfoy.
"Watch it, mudblood," Draco drawled as he watched Hermione scramble to pick up the papers she had dropped. "What's the rush? We don't have anymore classes for the rest of the year."
"Sorry, breakfast," Hermione replied as she picked up her belongings and ran to the Great Hall.
Hermione pushed open the large oak doors to a half full Great Hall. She spotted all the Gryffindor 7th years sitting together in the middle of the table. Each was talking and hovering over the parchment everyone was given last night. Ron looked up from the discussion and waved Hermione over.
"Did you fill out this parchment yet, Hermione?" Ron asked.
"I haven't even looked at it," Hermione said as she sat down between Ron and Harry.
"Ok, attention everyone!" Harry said. "Since we are now all here, we can tackle this annoying piece of paper together. Ok...ok Um... First question: Name?"
Everyone took the time to fill out his or her name.
"Ok," Harry said looking up from his paper to see if everyone was done, "Nickname? We'll start with Neville."
Neville looked up from his paper, "I don't have a nickname. Skip me."
"Ok, Dean."
"Likewise, Potter."
"Ok, Ron. Ha, I've found one. Ron, you write down 'Ron'. Next Seamus."
" Well everyone seems to call me Sean sometimes."
"Moving on," Pavarti said, "Harry, what is you nickname?"
"Scarhead!" Ron shouted as the table erupted with laughter except from Harry.
"Thanks, Ron," Harry said.
Ron shrugged his shoulders, "Sorry, has to do it mate. It's what Malfoy calls you other than Potty."
"Fine," Harry said as the table quieted. "I was thinking more along the lines, like The-Boy-Who-Lived."
"That works, Harry," Hermione said, "Ok, so I'm next... umm. What do you guys normally call me?"
"Herm," Ron replied.
"Mia," Lavender answered.
"Ok, so Hermione you put that down. Next, Lavender," Harry said.
" Easy Lav."
"Pavarti?"
"Pav."
"Ha," Ron said, " that rhymes!"
Harry rolled his eyes. Ron was a bit slow.
" Ok so we are done with that one. Next: Age by next September 1st?"
Seamus replied, "That's an easy one, we're all 18," Seamus said.
"Ok...," Ron said as he wrote down his age. "Next: Hometown? Another easy one."
There was the sound of quills scratching on parchment while everyone wrote down their hometown.
This time it was Lavender's time to speak, "House? Gryffindor! Of course, ok done with that one. Next: What do you like to do?"
It took a while to wait for everyone to write for everyone to write down what they liked to do. After 10 minutes the Gryffindors moved on to the next question.
"What is your favorite color?" Dean asked, "Let's go around the table. I'll begin. Red."
"Red," Harry said.
"Orange," Hermione added.
"Red," Ron said.
Next it was Lavender's turn, "Of course, Lavender!"
"Purple," Pavarti said.
"Red," said Neville.
"Same," added Seamus. "Next question - What is your favorite Bertie Bott's Flavor?"
"Chocolate!" Harry said. "Ron your turn."
"Everything, well maybe chicken."
"Vanilla," Hermione said, "Lav?"
"Raspberry."
"Same," Pavarti agreed.
Neville's turn, "Marshmallow."
"Potatoes," Seamus said.
"Lemon," Dean said last.
All the Gryffindor 7th years wrote down his or her answers. Hermione, finishing first, looked up from her parchment to see that the Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin 7th years were also all working on completing this parchment together. A few of the younger students seemed to always be reading over 7th years shoulders to see what was required.
Suddenly a bell thundered through Hogwarts. Younger students and professors scrambled to their next classes.
"So," Pavarti began, "did anyone find any cute guys or girls that they liked in those binders yesterday?"
"Ohh, yes," Lavender giggled. "That James Bond character!"
"James Bond, as in the James Bond?" Harry, Hermione, and Dean asked at the same time.
"What's so special about James Bond?" Ron questioned, "I have never heard about him before."
Hermione answered Ron, "Course, you haven't. James Bond is a secret agent and a main character in a few muggle movies."
"Ahhhh...." Ron said, though it was quite clear that he still didn't understand.
"How 'bout the rest of you guys?" Lavender asked.
Most of the boys shook their hands in a 'no' but Lavender spotted Harry blush.
"Harry!?! Who did you find?"
