Chapter 9
The Placement Parchment
Hermione also watched Mean Girls and Troy. Halfway through the movie of Troy Hermione fell asleep on the shoulder of...
Draco Mafoy.
And what Draco Malfoy didn't realize was that he had rested his head on the head of Hermione Granger who was leaning against his shoulder.
Then after a few minutes of listening to Hermione's short even breaths, smelling the scent of her hair, and feeling her hair rest against his cheek as a soft pillow, Draco Malfoy also fell asleep.
" Pshhh "
"This is your captain speaking. I would like to make the announcement that we will be landing shorty. Please fasten your seatbelts and secure your belongings."
Hermione shifted slightly in her seat, but found that she could not sit up properly. Someone's left hand was holding her down and his or her head was resting on her head, and that person was none other than Draco Malfoy.
"Ahhhh!" Hermione screamed and Draco jumped, but still had not let go of Hermione.
He looked down to see his left hand on Hermione, "Ahhhh!" Draco also screamed and let go of Hermione like she was infected with a contagious disease. "Mudblood germs!"
"Ferret germs!"
"Hermione, what has the ferret done now?" Harry questioned as he and Ron popped their heads over Hermione and Draco's chairs at the same times that Pansy and Millecent popped their heads over the back of their seats.
"Drakie-poo, what's wrong?" Pansy asked with concern.
What Pansy said eased the tension between them all. It became quiet for a short second then Harry, Hermione, and Ron burst into laughter. "Drakie-pooo! Hahahaha!"
But Draco did not find this funny, his eyes sparked with angry and turned to Pansy. "How many times do I have to tell you, woman? Do not ever call me 'Drakie-poo' again!" He said shaking his finger at Pansy. "My name should not be coming from the mouth of a whore!"
"But, but, you liked it before," Pansy stated on the verge of tears. The golden trio stopped laughing, noticing the situtation.
"I only liked it while in fifth year, when we were 'dating'," Draco answered and stormed off to the empty row of seats in the back of the first class compartment.
The trio watched silently as Pansy pouted and sat back down in her seat. The trio looked at each other with a 'what do we do?' look then eventually sat back down again.
" Pwshhhhh "
" Once again this is your captain speaking. We will be landing in the United States in five minutes. Please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts. Make sure you take all your belongins when you leave. First Class passengers will leave first then second. If you are foreign to the United States please make sure you go to 'Customs'. Thank you and I hope you enjoyed your flight on British Airlines."
Hermione gathered her belongings together as Draco Malfoy returned to his seat. "Move Granger." Hermione looked up to see Draco, who had now regained his 'cool' composure. She noticed that he was not wearing wizarding clothing, in fact he was wearing muggle clothing, a black collared shirt with tan pants and skater sneakers. The black polo was very flimy material and Hermione could clearly see Draco's muscles underneath.
"Like what you see?"
Hermione shifted her eyes back up to Draco's head. "Never." Hermione blushed. "Why would any woman find you attractive?"
"Ask Pansy. Next time, Granger, take a picture it last longer."
Hermione scoffed as she stood up to let Draco back into his seat; "You're an insufferable git."
"And you're an insufferable know-it-all," Draco returned. He sat down in his seat and fastened his seatbelt. Hermione did the same as McGonagall began to announce instructions again.
"Please follow Proffessor Dumbledore out of the plane. We will be taking a coach bus to Camp Alsilicis. There are no seating arrangements on the bus but when walking to the cafeterina/main dining hall called 'Belany Hall, all will walk in two lines, one girl, one boy, with Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger leading the lines. Make sure none of you get lost while walking to the bus."
The plane had a successful landing and all students followed directions while exiting the plane. Once in the airport, everyone followed the teachers to the exit. While walking through the halls of the airport, Harry, Ron, and Hermione engaged in a conversation about the movies that they had watched on the plane.
"Can you believe muggles have moving pictures?" Ron asked bewildered. Ron was still amazed at the sight of the motion picture. Hermione walked to the right of Harry and Ron on the left. Suddenly Hermione noticed a large group of young girls whispering while sitting on some chairs in one of the waiting areas. She strained her ears to catch wiffs of the conversation.
"That's Harry Potter, you know. The one that defeated You-Know-Who –"
"God, that girl walking next to him is lucky. Harry is so hott – "
Hermione laughed out loud and listening to more snipits of the conversation while Harry and Ron questioned her about her sudden out burst.
"And look who else is in the group..."
"Who? Is that who I think it is?"
"Draco Malfoy. Yup, model for the British section of Abercrombie & Fitch."
Hermione choked at what the girls had just said. Draco models for a muggle clothing brand? She bought clothing from Abercrombie & Fitch!
"Well, that totally ruins going to Abercrombie & Fitch," Hermione mumbled under her breath.
"What was that Hermione?" Ron asked.
"Nothing, nothing at all," Hermione answered quickly and their convversation returned to silence as they walked to the bus, taking in all the grande sights of America. Eventually Hermione caught up to Lavendar and Pavarti and started their own conversation about the guys they would be meeting at this new camp. For the bus ride Hermione sat with Pavarti and Lavendar, and Harry and Ron sat with the rest of the Gryffindors. Finally as it was reaching about 4 in the afternoon, the coach bus pulled into a pathed driveway surrounded by large trees that remined the Hogwarts students of the Forbidden Forest. Everyone quieted down and looked out the windows, hoping to get a glance of the camp or any of the other people who they would be meeting. Unfortunately the woods were so heavely thick that you could not even see past the first two trees. After twenty minutes on the long paved driveway, the bus pulled into a small parking lot near a huge builing. The bus driver stopped the bus and Dumbledore began speaking again.
"Ahh, we have finally reached our destination. As you all know this is where you will be meeting your future spouses. Some might have a spouse from a different school, or might have one from Hogwarts. But it up to you to find the one you are destined to be with. Mr. Malfoy, Ms. Granger, please walk up here."
Hermione and Malfoy walked to the front of the bus and waited for further instructions.
"Everyone will follow these two. All girls behind Ms. Granger, boy behind Mr. Malfoy. We will enter as a school and there will be no fighting or bickering when we enter, sit down in your seat in the hall when I nod. Now, please follow the rest of the proffessors off the bus and wait for further instructions."
Dumbledore and the proffessors walked in a straight line with their head held high into 'Belany Hall'. Hermione and Malfoy followed with the rest of the students trailing after them. Dumbledore pushed through the large oak doors, and everyone in Belany Hall turned to look at him. It was an awkward silence for a few seconds before:
"Dumbledore!"
Hermione acknoledged a large man with long white hair like Dumbldore's. The man looked a bit younger than her Headmaster, but looked as wise and intelligent all the same. As the two men hugged Hermione and Malfoy looked around at the students who were sitting at two large tables which reminded the Hogwarts students of their old school and the individual tables they all used to sit at. Hermione looked back at Dumbledore who mentioned her to follow.
Hermione unnoticiably touched Malfoy on his hand, so that no one could see, and motioned him to move.
Malfoy willingly followed and walked down the left side of the large table as Hermione and her line walked down the right side of the table. They both walked down to the end of the table noticing the other school's stares. Hermione tried to picture how she was looking at the moment and reasoned that both school probably thought that herself and her school were 'prim and proper'. All Hogwarts students followed the head boy and girl in every action and motion until Dumbledore nodded for them all to sit. All followed the orders and sat at the same exact time. The silence other than the gabbering professors was unbearably awkward.
Hermione looked around the large hall and spotted many people that she noticed from the binders that they had recieved during the school year.
After a few minutes, the chatter began between the students, introducing themselves to others nearby. Hermione started a small conversation with Lavendar who was sitting next to her about nothing in particular. Eventually the man who had hugged Dumbledore stood at the staff table.
"Excuse me," the man began as the noise began to fade away, " I would like to give an official welcome to the Hogwarts, Paluxsape, and my own, Strideson, students. Welcome to Camp Alsilicis. My name is Mr.Lohary and I am the Headmaster for Strideson School of Witchcraft and Wizardry here in the United States." There was a polite applause from the Strideson students. "Along with my students I have brought a few of the faculaty. The Divination- Astronomy teacher Professor Suzanne Anderson." The professor stood when her name was called.
"Our charms and other spells classes teachers are Professor Donald and Karen Searles. The Strideson school nurse, Madame Drekey. And the Strideson school librarian, Madame Del Vescovo." There was a short applause and then another man who was probarly in his sixties stood after the Strideson facualty sat in their chairs.
"I am Mr.Rankins, Headmaster of Paluxsape School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Australia," the man with a heavy Australian accent began. "With myself I have brought my Arithmancy teacher, Mr. Reed. The Divination-Astronomy teacher, Professor Sullivan. The Herbology teacher, Professor Gaitane. Our Potions master, Professor Posada. And the Paluxsape school nurse, Madame Banid."
Once again there was a short polite applause as Dumbledore stood to address the crowd. "Hello, students, my name is Professor Albus Dumbledore and with myself and my students I have brought our lovely school nurse, Madame Pomfrey, our Arithmancy Professor, Mr.Vector, the Potions master, Professor Snape, and the Transfiguration teacher, Professor McGonagall."
There was a short commendation as Headmaster Dumbledore sat down and Headmaster Lohary stood up again. "Also with us on our journey we have the unit counselors. For the Eagles we have Mr. Nelson and Mrs. Olivia Coutts. For the Ravens we have Mr. Bernie and Mrs. Britta Doyle. For the Falcons we have Mr. Victor and Mrs. Danielle Arrington. And for the Hawks we have Mr. Jonny and Mrs. Sopie Mattel. All are alumini from Strideson school and will be living with you for the durations of your stay here. Then we also have a magazine reporter from Wizardz to write what is happening in the camp for the general public. Christina Dalena will be publishing an article every three days and the magazine will be shipped throughout the world."
There was a whispering throughout the audience about the magazine article. "Without further ado we will be assigning you to your units through the means of the 'Placement Parchment'. Everyone please stand and form a line for the placement parchment. Strideson students then Paluxsape then Hogwarts students. After you write down your name on the placement parchement, a unit name will appear and you will go and sit with your unit's table."
Shuffling of table benches being hastily pushed back was heard throughout the hall as students hurried to form a line.
"Christi Follie," Headmaster Lohary called as the first girl in line named Christi Follie walked up to the staff table, was given a quill, and wrote her name down. "Hawk!" In the corner of the room Christina Dalena, the magazine reporter was taking pictures and hastily writing down everything that Headmaster Lohary said. Christie Follie walked down and greeted Jonny and Sopie Mattel, the counselors.
"Sherral Griffet, Hawk!" The line lessened as Jared Lafantaie also became a Hawk. Sean Multy became an Eagle. Mark Horan became a Raven. Patrick Doneray became a Falcon, as did his twin Kathryn Doneray. Sara Rodnie- Eagle. Megan Winter- Raven. James Bond became an Eagle. Matthew Warren also became an Eagle. Amy Abegal became a Hawk. Lawerence Peler- Falcon. Daniel Flynn- Raven. Erin Manson- Raven. Andrew Relton- Falcon. Keira Thomson became a Hawk. Marie Hart became an Eagle. Lynn Loman became a Falcon, as Rory Quinn, a boy, became a Raven. Haley Andrews – Falcon. George Ross- Hawk. Mike Yales- Hawk. Ellen Lipman- Eagle. Ann Willians became an Eagle as the last Strideson student, Rachel Coach became a Hawk.
Next came the Paluxsape students. Hermione watched with mild interest as the students were placed in each unit. Headmaster Rankins called out his students names and the units as the placement parchment displayed its choice for the certain student. "Harrison Asbury." Headmaster Rankins called out as Harrison stepped out of line and walked towards the table. After writing down his name, the placement parchment assigned him to the unit, "Hawk!"
" Hudson Weiss, Raven. Reese Goldsmith, Falcon. Jack Steig, Eagle. Delego Kloves- Hawk." Amor Smith became a Raven as Salax Mota became a Falcon. Dathmiw Appetito- Eagle. John Webber- Falcon. William Russel- Raven. Rose Mary Rathburn- Hawk. Anne Ryan became a Raven as Cameron Stover and Marykate Spall and Louise Adley became Falcons. Lily Mitchel and A.J. Bamathan became Eagles as Jennifer Arnold, Mildred Paterson, and Julie Taylor were the last to become Ravens.
Finally it was time to place the Hogwarts students and Harry was first in line. Dumbledore called out Harry's name. "Harry Potter." And the other students went into an excited whisper, which reminded the golden trio of the start of their years at Hogwarts. Harry wrote his name on the parchment and was assigned to the unit, "Falcon!" Hermione watched as Harry made his way down to the Falcon table and greeted Victor and Danielle Arrington.
"Hermione Granger." Hermione flipped her head towards Dumbledore and slowly walked forward to the table with the paper. With hesitation, Hermione picked up the quill and wrote 'Hemione Granger' onto the paper. She watched in fasination as the ink soaked into the paper and a word began to form from the ink. It read "Falcon!" Hermione gave a sigh of relief that she was with Harry in the Falcon unit. Hermione walked down to the Falcon table and introduced herself to Victor and Danielle Arrington then gave a high-five to Harry as she sat down next to him.
"Ronald Weasley." Hermione turned her head back up to the staff table and watched her other best friend scribble his name down on the parchment. "Raven!" Hermione gave Ron a sad glance, wishing that he was in the same unit as herself and Harry, as Ron made his way down to the Raven table and intoduced himself to Bernie and Britta Doyle.
Seamus Finnegan followed Ron and became an Eagle as did Neville Longbottom. Dean Thomas became a Falcon. Pavarti Patil and Hannah Abbot became Ravens. And Padma Patil, Sally-Anne Perks, and Lavendar Brown became Eagles. Hermione watched as Benjamin Moon, Terry Boot, and Susan Bones also became Ravens. Then Mandy Brocklehurst became a Falcon and Lisa Turpin became a Hawk. Ernie Macmillan and Michael Nott also became Hawks and Justin Finch-Fletchley became an Eagle. Morag MacDougal became a Hawk along with Vincent Crabbe, Millicent Bulstrode, and Gregory Goyle. Pansy Parkinson then became a Falcon and walked very proudly over to the Falcon table.
Blaise Zabini was then called up and was placed as an Eagle. And Draco Malfoy was the last student from Hogwarts to be placed in a unit. Malfoy walked up to the staff table wrote down his name and waited for the answer. "Falcon!" Hermione groaned in frustration as Draco Malfoy walked arrogantly over to the Falcon table. When Malfoy sat next to Pansy Headmaster Lohary began to speak again.
"Now since we have everyone in their unit, your unit counselors will bring you to your living quarters. Off you go. See you at dinner." Headmaster Lohary sat back down and began to talk with the other adults.
"Oy! Falcons!" Victor shouted at his table. "Follow me and Danielle to your cabin. Don't get lost."
Mr. and Mrs. Arrington lead the students out of Belany Hall and started walking toward the eastside of the camp. Victor and Danielle, and the other unit counselors must have been at least 20 years old, Hermione noted to herself. The group walked about five minutes to a large cabin and led them all inside to form a circle.
"Welcome all Falcons to Camp Alsilicis," Danielle began. "You may call me Dan, or Dani, or Dany, or whatever else you please. Right now you are in the common room of the Falcon cabin. To my right is a door to the boys living quarters and to my left is the door to the girls living quarters. I will be living with the girls and Victor will be living with the boys. Your bags have already been transported to the cabin living quarters and just need to be unloaded. A bell will ring for dinner and you may explore the camp until then. Any questions?"
No one answered and Victor took over, "Ok, then. Explore, unpack, or do as you please." The Falcons started to their living quarters and went to look inside. Hermione entered the dorm for the girls to find nine bunkbeds with no matress on the bottom. Instead of a matress there was a desk and a couple drawer to store clothing. Hermione grabbed her suitcase and chose one of the beds inbetween a girl named Kathryn Doneray and Haley Andrews. Hermione unpacked all her clothing then grabbed her pillow and climbed up to the bed and placed it near the wall. Hermione sat on the bed for a while, thinking.
"Well," Hermione thought, "this is definately a change in scenery."
