Chapter 4 On to Hogwarts

"Wake up, Malfoy or we'll miss the train!" Yelled Hermione from Malfoy's bedroom door.

"I'm up, so stop whining." Said Malfoy.

The rest of the morning was just a big race against the clock. Malfoy's stuff seemed to be everywhere. Mrs.Granger kept lecturing him on packing the night before. Soon, they were out the door and on their way to the station. When they got to the station, Hermione dragged Malfoy over to Harry and Ron.

"Whats the Ferret doing here?" Sneered Ron.

"You didn't tell him, Harry. I was almost positive you would." Said Hermione.

"Well, I would have but I myself can't belive it." Said Harry.

"Tell me what?" Asked Ron.

"Me and Hermione are engaged Weasel." Said Malfoy.

"WHAT!" Yelled Ron. Many other students turned to face them.

"Its true." Said Hermione, trying to hide that she didn't want to be.

"Prove it to me then." Said Ron.

Since they didn't have rings yet, the only way to prove it was...

Malfoy, for Ron's 'Proof', kissed Hermione. Hermione was shocked at first but then pretended it had happened loads of times.

"But..But it can't be true. It just can't." Said Ron.

"I can't belive it either." Said Harry shakingb his head.

"Why?" Said Malfoy, "Do you both have crushes on her or something." Asked Malfoy.

"No!" Said Ron, a little to quickly.

Harry just continued to look at the ground.

"What ever." Said Malfoy with a smirk. "We'd better get on the train or we'll miss it."

They all got on the train and found an empty compartment. Many heads turned because they all knew that Harry and Malfoy were enemy's.

"Well me and Harry need to go to the front of the train because were Head Boy and Girl." Said Hermione pratically dragging Harry out of the compartment.

"You have to help me. I can't do this!" Said Hermione.

"Hold on. Just deal with it 'till we get to school then we can fix it all." Said Harry.

They got to the prefects compartment and sat down next to Dumbledore.(It's magically enlarged to fit all of them.)

"Now each of you will be given a partner with a patrol duty schedual. I will read of your name and your partners name then where you patrol every night. Elana Rose and Dennis Creevey will patrol the West wing. Gregory Green and Paola Reeves will patrol East Wing.

Gretchen Rodrigues and Paul Westfall will patrol the dungeons and or Head Boy and Head Girl Harry Potter and Hermione Granger will patrol the kitchens and entrance hall. With that said, you can either join your other prefects or join your friends except The Heads. Good Day." Said Dumbledore.

All the prefects left talking excitedly to one another. When they all left, Dumbledore closed the door and locked it, then mutterd some spells and sat down.

"Now, you will be sharing a common room. I have put the Fidelous Charm on it with me as the secret keeper. Just tell me who you want to be able to come in and I will tell them the location." Said Dumbledore.

"Ron and Ginny" Said Harry.

"And Malfoy so it doesn't look to suspisious. And Luna too." Said Hermione.

"Why Luna?" Asked Harry.

"She's funny." Said Hermione.

"Any one else." Asked Dumbledore.

"Not realy." Said Harry.

"Ok. The location to your common room is behind the portrait across the hall from the kitchen." Said Dumbledore. "You may leave now. Good Day."

Dumbeldore left, closely followed by Hermione and Harry. They found Ron and Malfoy who were joined by Ginny and Luna.

"I'm surrounded by freaks!" Complained Malfoy.
"Oh shut up Ferret Boy." Said Ron.

"Stop fighting you two." Said Hermione coming in and sitting next to Malfoy.

"Is what Malfoy saying true 'Mione?" Asked Ginny.

"I'll tell you later in me and Harry's common room." Said Hermione.

"Tell us, please. Its sounds rather interesting." Said Luna.

"Later. Dumbledore will tell you the location after dinner." Said Hermione.

A while later, the train pulled to a stop and they followed the croud off the train and to the carriges.

"I hate those stupid horses!" Said Malfoy.

"You can see them too." Said Luna in her airy voice.

"Duh! Of coarse he can see them. He is going to be a Death Eater as soon as he's out of this school." Said Ron.

"What makes you say that Weasel?" threatened Malfoy, turning to come face to face with Ron.

"Because your the biggest Death Eater git at this whole school who's father is currently running from the ministry so that he's not arrested." Said Ron with his voice slowley rising.

"Well you'll learn soon where my loyalty is now." Said Malfoy. He turned and got in the carrige with Hermione, Luna and Ginny leaving Harry and Ron outside to find another carrige. Hermione mouthed 'sorry' to Harry before finaly closing the door.

After the feast, Luna, Malfoy, Ron and Ginny talked to Dumbledore before going to Harry and Hermione's common room. Harry and Hermione had gone there right after the feast to check it out before their friends arrived.

The common room was decorated in Scarlet and Gold. There were 2 Scarlet love seats with their names in Gold on them. On opposite ends of the room were spiral staircases leading up to doors also with their names on it. Directly across from the entrance, were 4 doors with the house names above them which lead to each houses common rooms.

"This is so cool." Said Hermione walking around admiring everything.
"Yeah, cool." Said Harry, following Hermione.

A few minutes later, they started hearing soft voices coming from the doors.

"Now I know how Percy always knew that we were awake." Said Harry. "That got annoying."

"Hogwarts: A History doesn't mention this at all." Said Hermione.

"Maybe because they don't want us to know about this." Said Harry.

Just then, Ginny, Luna, Ron and Malfoy walked in.

"This is so cool!" Said Ginny.

"Brilliant!" said Ron.

"Its ok." Said Malfoy.

"Let me guess, your bathroom is bigger than this at you house." Said Ron.

"Actually its a manor and no, this is about the size of my room. My bathroom is just slightly smaller." Bragged Malfoy.

"Stop fighting or I'll kick you both out!" Said Hermione.

"What ever." Said Ron.

"Now let me explain what happened between me and Malfoy." Said Hermione.

She explained it all and by the end Ginny was shocked and Luna was still looking around the common room. Ron and Harry were expressionless.

"So there's nothing you can do about it?" Asked Ginny.

"It won't happen if Voldemort is killed." Said Hermione.

"So this room is protected against Voldemort?" Asked Ron.

"As much as it can be." Said Hermione.

"So here you can pretend you aren't engaged to the ferret?" Asked Ron, Malfoy shot him a death glare.

"Yes. Can pretend not to be engaged to the ferret."Said Hermione laughing.

"Well I am going to the Slytherin common where none of you Gryffindorks are alowed." Said Malfoy heading toward the door marked 'Slytherin'.

"Actually, me and Hermione are allowed in since were Head boy and girl." Said Harry.

"And I'm not a Gryffindork. Im in Ravenclaw." Said Luna.

"Fine then, I'll call you Birdbrain. How 'bout that."

"Whatever." Said Luna in her usual airy voice as Malfoy left.

"I think you should all leave now." Said Harry looking exhausted.

"See you tomorrow then." Said Luna, leaving through the Ravenclaw door.

"Bye." Said Ron and Ginny, leaving through the Gryffindor door.

"Well I'm going to bed. 'Night" Said Hermione heading toward her room.

"Night." Said Harry going to his room.
