Thank you for the great reviews, except I've gotten some weird ones, but what ever. Let me go on with the story. You finally get to see which house she's sorted into.
Recap: "Ron can come in, but Harry's not welcomed." Draco said
"You heard Draco, come on in Weasley, don't worry Potter your boyfriend will be alright. He'll go find you later" Blaise said and closed the door in Harry's face.
"Hermione Harry's really sorry for what he said, and he said he your right, he had no right to be in your room and should have trusted you a lot more." Ron said and Hermione nodded.
"Tell him it will take me a while to forgive him, but eventually I will." Hermione said and Ron got up.
"We love you Hermione and he was just scared that you didn't love us anymore, think how he felt when he found out." Ron said and with that walked out of the compartment.
Chapter 12: Hogwarts Surprise
After Ron had left Hermione laid down on the seat that had the sun shinning in on her. She cried quietly and eventually fell asleep.
"She looks so peaceful just sleeping don't you think?" Blaise asked as he got up and wiped off the tears that still lingered on her cheek and grabbed a blanket and covered her so she wouldn't get cold.
"Yeah, Blaise can I ask you something?" Draco asked him, as he brushed the hair away from her eyes. She was so beautiful; it never really hit him though. The way she curled up into a ball when she was sleeping, her peaceful breaths she took in, just everything about her, and he loved it.
"Sure mate, what's on your mind?" Blaise asked him as he sat down in his chair again.
"Why can't I get her out of my head?" Draco asked, he knew Blaise would know he dated her for Merlin's sake.
"Because, her eyes are hypnotizing, her voice is soothing, her touch is like silk, her kisses are worth the wait, and most of all she just wants to be loved, to be wanted." Blaise said to Draco.
"She is loved, and by so many people too, I just feel that shouldn't get something as miraculous as her, you know what I mean?" Draco asked and rubbed his temples, so many thoughts, it really did cause headaches.
"Most of us think that mate, it's because we don't but she looks past it and gives chances, she too nice for her own good, Potter and Weasley know that too. That's why the try to control her so much, they know no matter what she'll still be her friends and they really shouldn't get one, nor should we." Blaise said, and Draco knew he was right.
Why should he be given a chance after all that he had done to her for the past six years? All the tormenting, calling her names, making her life miserable all because he thought she was a mudblood, he didn't deserve a chance.
Hermione had heard everything Blaise and Draco had said about her, she tried her best to pretend that she was sleeping but she knew that she was on the verge of tears. They thought that she was higher then them, that she shouldn't mix with them. When she heard what Blaise had to say about her it never hit her that he was that smart but he was. He was right, Harry and Ron took advantage of her brains so they'd do well in their classes, they thought they could control who she talked to and hung out with, even who she fell for, but they couldn't.
She slowly drifted off to sleep along with Blaise and Draco. About an hour later the train started to slow down and Hermione woke up a bit cold. She looked out the window to see a black sky with stars and the moon shinning brightly. She got up and walked over to the boys she was sharing the compartment with and shook them gently causing them to stir.
"Blaise, Draco, wake up where almost to the station." Hermione said to them.
"Wake us up when its time to walk out of the train." Blaise said and Draco and he turned over at the same time.
Hermione snorted and rolled her eyes. Why do boys always wait till the last minute?' She thought. She looked around the compartment and found pillows. "That would have made my nap better" Hermione mumbled to her self. She got two of them and threw them at Draco and Blaise, causing both of them to sit up and glance around, when they saw Hermione grinning Draco took his turn to talk.
"What in bloody hell was that for Hermione?" Draco said in a groggy voice as he stood up and stretched soon joined by Blaise.
"Where almost to the train station, Merlin guys procrastinate so much, come with me to get my stuff." Hermione said.
"Why, you can carry it fine 'Mione." Blaise said to her slightly confused.
"I don't feel like going in a compartment alone with Harry and Ron, well Ron's fine it's mostly Harry." Hermione said and nodded her head.
"Oh, right, well lets go get your stuff then" Draco said and they walked out of the compartment behind Hermione. When they reached the compartment that Harry and Ron where in Blaise took the chance to open the door.
When Hermione walked in she looked around to see Harry, Dean, Ron, Seamus, and Ginny sitting around talking.
"'Mione, I haven't seen you in ages!" Seamus said and run up to her and gave her a hug. He looked behind her to notice Draco and Blaise sneering at the people in the compartment. "'Mione are those slimy gits bothering you?" Seamus asked her as he ushered her farther into the compartment.
"No, they're with me; it's more like Harry who's bothering me." Hermione said and grabbed her stuff from an over head compartment and tried to walk out but some one grabbed her arm before she could do so.
"Hermione I said I was sorry" Came Harry's voice.
"I said I'd forgive you eventually, not that I should after all the shit." Hermione hissed at him.
"What in bloody hell is that supposed to mean?" Harry questioned her with a low growl.
"You think you can control me and my life, your always using my brain so you can do better in your fucking classes Harry. Don't act all innocent and sweet like you've done nothing wrong. You eavesdropped in MY room, which you had no right to do, go and call me a hooker this morning! Why in the hell should I forgive your sorry ass?" Hermione snapped at him.
"He doesn't need you Hermione!" Ginny's voice jumped in. "You're not even half the witch he is." She hissed at Hermione.
"I'm the smartest and most skilled witch Hogwarts has seen in a long ass time, all because he has a bloody scar to show he was the down fall or a slim ball that hates muggle's, even though he was half, doesn't mean that Harry is the best witch in the world. If you don't remember Ron and I helped him with ever encounter he's had with Voltmort." Everyone but Draco, Blaise, Harry and Her winced at the sound of his name, she chuckled lightly.
"No wonder he called you a hooker, because dear, you look like one." Ginny growled at her. That was the end of it and Hermione snapped. In a flash Hermione was sitting on Ginny punching her in the face and they hear the shrieks and yells coming from Ginny on the floor. Everyone was shocked that Hermione had begun to punch her it took a while for them the react.
"Hermione get off her!" Blaise yelled and Hermione kept swinging at Ginny's face.
"Let her do it Blaise" Ron's voice came from behind him.
"Are you mental Weasley, she's beating the shit out of your sister.
"She deserved it; she brought it upon her self." Ron said. Draco didn't care what Ron was saying he grabbed Hermione and threw her on the seat and slammed her arms against the wall. Hermione whimpered in pain.
"Draco you're hurting me!" Hermione said as her eyes clouded with tears.
"Next time don't beat the shit out of someone Hermione Ann Manson." Draco yelled. "Next time you do that I can and I will owl your mother and I know she'll bring your straight home. You under stand me?" Draco said to her in a calm but meaningful tone.
"Yes sir" Hermione said and he let go of her. "Bitch, I would have killed you if Draco didn't pull me off." Hermione hissed at the mangled Ginny on the floor. She grabbed her stuff and walked out of the compartment without a word, Harry huddled down beside Ginny, Seamus and Dean lost without words. Ron, Blaise and Draco walked out of the compartment behind Hermione and made it to the heads.
"Why did you pull her off? She deserved every punch Hermione threw at her." Ron said once the door was closed.
"I wasn't going to have her expelled on the first day of school Weasley" Draco said. "If it would have been later on I would have been fine." He looked around for Hermione to see her looking out the window crying. "Hermione what's wrong." Draco asked and all three of the boys walked over to her.
"Maybe she's right, maybe Harry's better then me, and I am a hooker a-a-and" Hermione broke into tears.
"No, she's not right 'Mione, she may be my sister but she's wrong. You know she's in love with Harry, she'll do anything for him and she thought that, that was the right thing to do, but it wasn't." Ron said and hugged her. "We love you Hermione, we'll always be here for you." Ron said and they sat in silence for the next five minutes until the train slowed to a stop.
"Come on lets go get on the Heads Carriage, I'm sure there's food and drinks in there. Percy told me about it." Hermione said and the rest of them nodded and went off to find it. Soon they found it in front of all the others.
"Makes sense don't you think?" Blaise asked.
"Yeah, if you think bout it, we are heads so why not be in the front?" Hermione said and found butterbeers and a bunch of candy hidden in a box under the seats. She gave everyone a butterbeer and put the box of candy in the middle of all of them so they could all have some. Once they made it to the school they pocketed as much candy as they could and took a few butterbeers and walked into the great hall.
They soon entered and noticed that there were no house banners. There was a banner that said 'Welcome to another year at Hogwarts', then flashed and said 'Welcome Head boy and girl Hermione Manson and Draco Malfoy', then flashed yet another time and said 'sit where you like.'
"Well whatever lets go to the front so I can't get sorted faster." Hermione said and they made there way to the front of the room and sat in the middle table.
"What's going on though? It's weird don't you think?" Ron said to Hermione. "There are no house banners and we getting to sit where ever we want, something not right." Ron said and Draco and Blaise nodded to so they agreed with him.
"Oh Ronald, it's called house unity, they want the tension to call down so they wont make us sit with our houses anymore." Hermione said and then all the first years entered into the room. Professor Snape entered the room behind them and walked to the front.
"I'm sorry to say to those who've been here for a while one of your professors has passed away and she will not be joining us. She was head of Gryffindor and I have been asked to not say her name, don't bother asking me or any of the teachers at that. Our new Transfusion teacher is Professor Black and our Defenses against the Dark Arts teacher are once again Professor Lupin, now on with the sorting." Snape brought out the sorting hat and it began its job. Only Hermione's name never came. Once the feast was done all of the years except the 7th years were asked to leave, and the students that were left were confused.
Sirius Black or know to the kids Professor Black stood up in front of them. "We have one student formally known as Hermione Granger, now Hermione Manson who needs to get put into a house. Miss Manson please comes to the front." Hermione stood up and walked to where Sirius was standing and sat on the stool that stood before her. He put the hat on her head.
"Ah, yes Granger, no excuse me Manson, you were rather oddly placed, but everyone saw you as a muggle born even though they were terribly wrong, you're a pureblood are you not?"
"Yes, now get on with what house I'm put into." Hermione said impatiently.
"Temper, temper, but you my dear aren't going in a house." The hat said,
"Wait, what I'm not going into a house? Professor Dumbledore!" Hermione yelled
"Yes Miss Manson?" He said as if he had been calling her by that name for years.
"He said that it's impossible to sort me!" Hermione said a bit worried, what if they sent her home because she wasn't able to be sorted then she wouldn't be able to continue with magic
"Very well, you get to choose a house, same thing happened when I was a student here, what house do you want to be put in?" Professor Dumbledore asked Hermione.
She looked at Ron and he smiled widely and then she looked over to Draco and Blaise, Blaise anticipated a bit, but Draco wouldn't make eye contact with her.
"Be fore I choose sir can I ask of one thing?" Hermione asked and he nodded his head. "Can Ron and Blaise join Draco and me in our common room?" Hermione asked she heard whispers explode around her.
"If you wish, then certainly, that can be managed." Dumbledore said to her and smiled.
"I want to be in Slytherin." She said plan as day, people around her gasped in surprise and he nodded. Sirius stood up again.
"If all of you will go ahead to your common rooms you know what the password is but I would ask four you four to stay behind." He said and pointed to Draco, Blaise, Ron and Hermione. Soon Snape walked over to them and summoned them to follow him. He took them to the fourth floor and down a hall to a portrait with a unicorn and a nice looking lady washing the unicorn. When she noticed that they had showed up she stopped quickly.
"Password if you please." She said and Snape nodded.
"Lemon Drops, Now you four share a common room, there's a kitchen , game room, Bathroom and another strange room, I'm sure Miss. Manson would be able to tell you the things in there. You are to eat together and be sensible and don't start things. Points are to be taken off if the students are miss behaving. Now have fun and remember, you are you get along." He said and walked off.
Hermione walked in the common room and thought it looked beautiful. It wasn't at all what she thought it would be. She thought there would be Slytherin colors but there wasn't. The colors were more cherry wood and a black accent to it. She walked to rooms and hers was the last one on the left. Ron was the first one on the left Blaise first on the right and Draco the last on the right.
Hermione's room was nice it was a warm cream color and still black accent and the read bedding made it seem nice and oriented. All of her stuff was already put away. She walked to Ron's room and he was crying.
"Ron what's wrong?" Hermione asked and ran to his side.
"It's so nice, you didn't have to do this for me, I would have been fine in the Gryffindor common room" He said and whipped the tears from his eyes. Hermione smiled at him
"No, I had to, I wanted to be able to see you as much as I did last year, and at that I didn't think you'd be to happy about me being in Slytherin so I had to make it up to you." Hermione said. He hugged her.
"I'm tired I'm going to bed early, will you tell me what's in the strange room in the morning?" Ron asked her and she nodded as she walked out of his room and into Blaise's.
"Few, your not crying like Ron was." Hermione said and sat down on his bed.
"Yeah, dose your room look like this too?" He asked and she nodded.
"Ron's room too, I wonder about Draco's room. Let's go find out." Hermione said and they both walked out to Draco's room. Sure enough his room was the same.
"They like these colors you'd think." Hermione said to no one unparticular.
"Yeah, but it's nice, hey show us that one room." Draco said and they all walked out to find the room.
"Awesome, ok its video games, TV, stereo, computers everything under the sun that electrical!" Hermione said to them. She saw both of them yawn. "I'll show you guys what they do tomorrow." She said and grabbed both of there hands and dragged them to Blaise's room She gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Night, sleep well." Hermione and Draco left and went to his room.
"Goodnight Hermione." He said and gave her a kiss on the lips.
"Night Draco, sleep tight." Hermione said and went to her room and got into her pajamas and lay down in her bed, clapped and the lights went out and she shortly there after fell asleep.
