Chapter Four

Hermione heard the voice and looking around to locate it. Draco walked dangerously closer to the fireplace, and stared at the two portraits weirdly. As soon as Hermione noticed she walked with him.

Godric and Salazar just stood in place. Draco looked stunned. "Are these really Salazar and Godric?" he asked, examing them.

Hermione answered. "Well, they are just spirits put into portriats. But they only do that to important wizard's or witches."

Draco smirked. "You really know everything do you?"

Hermione frowned. "What? It's a crime to read Ferret boy?"

But before Draco could answer, a voice from one of the portraits replied. "Will you love bird's stop fighting or I will sleep in the Slytherin Common Room tonight?" said Salazar from his portrait.

Godric looked scoundriled. "For the first time in three hundred years I agree with Salazar, hush it down."

Hermione glared at Salazar. "He is not my boyfriend!"

Salazar smirked evilly. "Well you sure act like it."

Draco protested quickly. "Yeah flashback! Im engaged!"

Hermione interrupted quickly before Salazar and Draco were arguing. "Well im off to bed. Good night, Salazar and Godric, see you in the morning," she said quickly, heading for her room.

"Not so fast Granger," said a voice, which sounded like Malfoy from the fireplace.

Hermione twirled around and glared at Malfoy evilly. "What now? I can't go to bed without you complaining at every single little thing!"

Draco smirked evilly. "Just wanted to say goodnight."

Hermione looked pissed her guts off. She just wanted to strangle him right now. He had to nerve to say good night to her, like if they were best friends. Or even worse, thinking he might be Harry or Ron.

Hermione simply turned around and headed for her room, ignoring the certain blonde who was standing in the middle of the common room.

Hermione stood in front of the room confused like. She didn't know weather to just open it or stand there.

Just then the lion roared, and said. "Welcome to Hermione Granger's Common Room, how may I help you?" said the lion modestly.

Hermione smiled. This was cooler than she thought. "I am the Head Girl. Hermione Granger, may I please enter?"

"Yes you may. And know that you are here would you like to make some adjustments?" asked the lion.

"Yes, if the Head Boy comes near the door, please don't let him in unless its important or you tell me. Other than that don't." stated Hermione.

"No problem," roared the Lion.

Hermione smiled sweetly and entered her room graciously viewing it from every inch. It was beautiful. The walls were painted orange, and there was a desk, a couch, and a comfy bed.

Hermione loved her new room. It really felt like her home.


Draco glared. Why did she have to be such a bitch?

"You like her don't you?" said Godric, looking sympathetically at him.

"What? NO! Of course not! Im engaged remember?" he sneered.

"So? That doesn't mean you can't like her? Oh yeah don't you have to marry her?" said Salazar joining into the conversation.

"Wait, huh? How do you know?" said Draco turning to the portraits.

"We know everything, believe me! Why do you think they named Slytherin over Salazar, and Gryffindor me?" answered Godric. "Take my advice, if you really like the girl, go for it. But as I said, just because your engaged means nothing."

"Wait! I never said I like Granger anyway!" grinned Malfoy.

"Suuuuurrre," drawled Salazar smoothly.

Draco just glared. "Will you two shut up! You said enough tonight that will make me barf. Im going to bed."

"Good night," said Salazar and Godric, smirking evilly.

Draco walked upto the snake just as confused as Hermione was when she was to the lion.

Just then the snake slithered from its wall and said. "Welcome to Draco Malfoy's common room, how may I help you?" hissed the snake.

"Hello, I am the Head Boy. Draco Malfoy," replied Malfoy, liking the idea.

The snake opened its door, but before Malfoy could enter he hissed again. "Would you like to make any adjustments, Mr. Malfoy?"

Malfoy smirked evilly. "Yes, if the Head Girl, or any girl comes by make sure you hiss me to the door," Draco took a minuted to think. "And that's it."

The snake slithered back to sleep, as Draco walked through the entrance.

The room was green, with a slytherin touch to it. It had a black couch, a lot like the Slytherin Common room itself.

But as soon as Draco entered, he dosed right to sleep on the couch...


Harry and Ron sat in the Gryffindor common room, with all the supplies they needed for life. A Wizard's chess board.

It was the second time Ron won that night, but the tension of Hermione not being there was horrible, so they both kept quiet.

But Harry decided this couldn't go on for longer so he broke the silence.

"Do you think Hermione abandon us?" asked Harry, moving his queen.

"Of course not, Harry! She wouldn't do that to her best friends!" replied Ron, making the winning piece.

Harry fixed the game board and replied. "Yeah, but what if she is hiding something from us. That she doesn't trust us or something. Or thinks its something we shouldn't know?"

Ron narrowed his eyes. "Are you mad Harry? Hermione would never do anything like that!"

"Yeah I guess, what do you say about another match?" said Harry, competitively.

"Your on Potter!"

Harry knew Ron had feelings for Hermione, since the 4th year Yule Ball. But she was practically ignoring her best friends, over the summer, and even at Hogwarts. Harry knew she changed, but what made her?


The next morning Hermione woke up, with a boast to just do something spectacular. She felt like today she was going to have a good day.

Hermione peered into the bathroom, and smiled. Saw chocolate brown eyes, locks of curly hair dangling, and happy smile.

Hermione jumped into the shower, happily singing that muggle song.

Ill be

your crying shoulder

ill be

your love suicide

Hermione got out of the shower cheerfully, and left her common room.
