"Please not Gryffindor," Hermione said to herself, making sure Harry and Ron couldn't hear her. She crossed her fingers, and watched as the hat thought about Adriana. Her eyes widened as she thought she saw a green light hit it.
"GRYFFINDOR!" It shouted immediately after the green light possibly hit it. Hermione blinked, had she been the only one who noticed? Ron and Harry were cheering as Adriana came and sat down next to them. Harry would probably deny it even if he did see the light. This girl definitely was hiding something.
"Congratulations," Hermione extended her hand, trying to act like the girl's friend, hoping then if she could gain Adriana's trust, she'd find out what the first year was hiding. Adriana shook it, her face was completely lit up, and Harry's looked pretty similar. Hermione rolled her eyes, she'd do whatever it took to keep Harry from getting involved with her. Even if it meant getting involved with Harry, not that she would mind that. She'd liked him ever since he'd saved her from the troll in the bathroom last year. She wanted to keep him from danger just like he had for her. Adriana just seemed dangerous.
On the way to the Common Room, Harry and Adriana talked the whole time. There was never a chance for Hermione, or Ron to get into the conversation.
"I don't trust her." Hermione hissed to Ron. "She's too- I don't know, but I think she's hiding something from us." Ron shook his head.
"You're being paranoid Hermione, she's just a little first year girl. Obviously Harry likes her, and I trust his judgment. Of course, anybody could not trust someone they're jealous of. Do you like Harry?" Ron asked, his eyebrows rose mischievously.
"NO! Leave me alone will you Ron. You just don't understand!" She walked way ahead of him, and by the time Ron got to the Common Room, she had gone to the Girl's dorm.
When Harry and Ron got to the Boy's dorm, they started unpacking. "I think I'm in love." Harry said dreamily. Ron made him sit down.
"You can't get involved with Adriana. It's not a good idea. You've gotta listen to me. I can't tell you why, but if you get with her, well, one of your friends will hate you, and will probably do something to you." Ron said, thinking of Hermione.
Harry looked at him, anger in his eyes. "You like her, don't you? And you don't want me to get with her, because you want to ask her out! I see how it is. You-"
Ron covered Harry's mouth. "It's not me! I swear. Just listen to me, you can't do anything with Adriana. You promise?" Harry shook his head, and went out of the dorm.
Ron sighed. "Great, now everyone's mad at me, and soon, Hermione will be mad at Harry, and then we'll all hate each other. This will be a great year."
