Book One: The War

Chapter 3:Chatting with Destiny

"Malfoy," Hermione greeted, 'So much for starting over' she thought. She must admit Malfoy has definately changed. His hair wasn't stuck to the back of his head anymore, it was hanging over his forehead, a few strands hiding his eyes. It was like he had a wall in front of him, which made it impossible to see what he was thinking or feeling. It was weird.

"Granger," he said. He looked over at Harry and Lavender, they have finally stopped making out. Harry had a confused look on his face. It was an awkward moment because its been over six years since they met and things have changed. The only thing missing was Ron. Harry quickly walked out, where Dumbledore was waiting for him.

"Hermione!" shouted a certain red headed girl. Hermione was so happy to see Ginny, this was exactly what she needed right now, she couldn't take another moment of that silence. It was scary. Professor McGonagall walked over to them with a few other teachers.

"Well, all of you know Ms. Weasly, and I would also like to introduce Ms. Waters, shes a new member of the staff and Hogwarts, so I hope you make her feel at home here,"

"Call me Destiny," she said, that was her first name.

"I will show you to your rooms now. The teachers quarters used to be near their respective houses but now we've decided to have it seperated from the students. It'll still be close to the students' dormtories."

"Now, we have, Lavender and Mr. Potter--"

"Harry is staying here, why?" Hermione interupted.

"Dumbledore has his reasons, Ms. Granger," she said sternly, irritated that she was interupted. This was strange because Hermione was her favorite student.

"Sorry,"

"Now, Ms. Lavender and Mr. Potter will take the first two dorms. Ms. Waters and Ms. Granger the next and Ms. Weasly and Mr. Malfoy the last. Now, each of the dorms have two bedroom, you're names are already on the doors. There will be a small common room for both of the dorms. I'd suggest that you take some rest, you're luggage is already in your rooms." McGonagall finished and left.

Hermione entered her dorm, it wasn't very big but at the same time, not very small. She noticed that her name was engraved in Golden letters. She walked into the room, the room was beautifully decorated with Violet and Pink, her two favorite colors. Her things were next to her bed. She had her own bathroom which was definately a plus because she hated sharing one. She made her way back to the common room where Destiny was. She walked over and sat on one of the couches, across from her.

"Hello, I'm Hermione,"

"Hi," she said. She had light brown hair which was very light and shiny, it ran down till her shoulders. She was asian.

"So what are you teaching this year?" Hermione asked.

"Oh, I'm going to assist Mr. Smith in teaching Potions,"

"Why can't you teach your own Potions class?" Hermione asked.,

"Well, its a new rule that every student who takes a specific course has to assist a well qualified teacher for atleast a year, I'll probably have my own class by next November," she explained. They had definately changed the rules, Hermione was happy she didn't have to do this because she was still married to Harry at that time, so, she wouldn't have done it. "What class are you taking?"

"Charms," Hermione answered.

"Um, do you that guy with blonde hair?" she asked.

"Malfoy," Hermione said undoubtedly.

"Yeah, he's nice,"

Hermione almost brust out laughing, Malfoy, nice? NO WAY "Uhh...Draco Malfoy?"

"Is that his name, its soo perfect,"

"Yeah, its the personality that's NOT," Hermione said.

"Well, you never know,"

"I've known him long enough, unfortunately all seven years at Hogwarts," Hermione said.

"Well, maybe he's changed, you probably haven't met up with him all these years, who's to say he didn't?"

"Me," Hermione said. "He's been horrible with me, there is no way I can even get into talking with him without him insulting me, which resulted in me insulting him."
