What's up ya'll. I only got 2 reviews for that last chapter. Anyway I like so meant to get this up sooner, but I kind of got into trouble at school so I cut down on my computer time a bit. Well read and enjoy.
Next chapter-Good news!
Draco heard another scream and raced to Hermione's room, again hoping it wasn't her because this one sounded much closer than Alison's scream from earlier.
"Draco, who screamed?" asked Hermione.
"Hermione are you ok? You're sweating really badly and you're the one who screamed." Draco answered concerned.
"I did, but I don't see how. I don't remember screaming or having a reason for doing so." Hermione sighed.
"It's probably just shock from earlier. Go back to sleep, you'll be up in another hour or so and you need at least some sleep. I'll see you when you wake up later, okay?" Draco told her.
"Okay, for you I will go back to sleep. See you in the later morning." Hermione replied.
"Thank you." Draco said kissing her forehead before going back to his room.
Hermione woke up and looked around her room. It was brightly lit by the sun's magnificent rays. Her room was a light pink with white curtains over the windows. She looked at her clock and couldn't believe it was almost nine. Getting up, she walked over to her balcony door, opened it, and walked out. Students were spread out all over the grounds below her. She had a feeling she was being watched so she scanned the ground to see if anyone was looking at her, she found that no one was. When she turned around she bumped into Draco, she figured it was him.
"How's my sleeping beauty?" Draco asked sweetly.
"Better. Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" She whined.
"For one I thought you could use a little extra sleep, for two you're much more beautiful when you're asleep." Draco joked.
"You're mean. I don't want to be with someone that is going to be mean to me and looks like you either." Hermione joked back.
"I feel insulted now. You're not thinking of breaking up with me are you?" Draco said sounding scared.
"No silly, you really think I would?" Hermione said reassuringly.
"Okay, thank you. Do you want to help me find the others? We could all go outside or something." Draco offered.
"Sounds like a good idea, probably the best one you've ever had. Let me get changed and I'll meet you in the other room." Hermione said pushing Draco out the door.
She quickly dressed and headed down the hall to meet Draco. He was sitting on his black leather couch. Quietly she went up behind him and pushed him off the couch.
"I take it you're ready." Draco teased.
"Yeah I'm ready. Let's go find the others and go outside." Hermione said heading for the door.
"Okay, I'm right behind you." Draco said getting up off the floor.
They walked down the hall to the prefect's tower. Padma was asleep on the couch and the others were doing homework when they entered.
"Hey guys, want to go outside?" Draco asked.
"Yeah sure, do you think we should wake Padma up?" answered Alison.
"I think so, that way when she wakes up she won't wonder where we're at." Brain stated.
"Okay, so who in here is going to be brave enough to wake her up. I no I'm not, she's likely to bite someone's head off." Jeremy joked.
"Draco can wake her, which is of course unless he is too scared." Hermione teased.
"What, me scared, yeah right. How did I get voted into this in the first place?" Draco exclaimed loudly.
"See how easy that was Draky" said Hermione pointing over at the couch were Padma now lay staring at them.
Everyone started to laugh at the annoyed look on Draco's face. They told Padma to meet them outside when she finished changing. Chatting happily, they made their way downstairs. As they were going around the corner next to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom they bumped into some-one very much unexpected.
"Oh hi professor!" said A-Kay surprised.
"Ah, hello miss Meyer. How are you all settling in?" Professor Kinderbox questioned.
"Fairly well actually." replied Michelle.
"That's good. Could one of you please point me in the direction of Professor Dumbledore's office?" Professor Kinderbox asked.
"Yeah sure, it's up those stairs, second gargoyle on the right. The password is Gummy Worms." answered Hermione.
"Okay, thank you." Kinderbox said heading toward Dumbledore's office.
"So that's what your headmaster looks like? He looks really young, well at least compared to Dumbledore." Draco said.
"That's because he is young. He is only 34." said Kelli coming up behind them with the other new students.
"Oh my God Kelli, don't do that. You scared me half to death." exclaimed Alison.
"What else is new? You get scared over nothing." Ben laughed.
"Yes that is definitely true." agreed Jordan trying not to laugh.
"Okay I'll confess. I'm a big chicken." Alison said with a bit of annoyance.
"No you're not a big chicken you're a HUGE chicken." joked Michelle
"Would you guys quit being so mean to me?" Alison pleaded.
"Fine we'll quit, but just so you know it is kind of fun." Michelle said trying to sound hurt.
"What are you guys arguing about?" questioned Padma just joining the group.
"Just Alison being a chicken is all." answered Michelle
"Oh, ok. Wait a minute, who are all these people?" Padma asked gesturing to the new students and supervisors.
"These people are the other students and supervisors from America, you should have known that." Draco said sounding amazed.
"Yeah, yeah, don't make me come over there and hurt you. Has anyone heard of anything on Cindy?" Padma said.
"Yes actually we have. She's awake and is doing great. They're releasing her from the hospital wing in a couple pf days. So in other words she's on the road to recovery." said Megan.
"Thank God for that." said Morgan.
"Yeah, I'm with her." Josh and Tim said together.
"The only reason I hang around those two is because I'm friends with Morgan." Ashlynn said aggravated.
"I know, and the only reason Morgan hangs around them is because they're her brothers. Same with me, the only reason any of them hang around me is because I'm their sister." Jordan explained.
"Well yeah, I suppose that's true." agreed Ashlynn
"So are we going to continue our way outside?" asked Ben.
"Yes Bennie, we're going. You just have to learn to be more patient." Jordan teased.
"What are you talking about? I am the most patient person here." Ben said satisfied.
Jordan glared at him as if telling him better change that or she would do something to him.
"Outside of Jordan, I mean." Ben added taking the hint.
Everyone laughed and started to head outside again. As they walked around the grounds Hermione, Draco, Padma, Justin, Jordan, and Ben told the others what has been happening since the start of term and about the different classes they would be taking. Coming back to the front doors Hermione told them that their first class was tomorrow morning at 8 and that they had Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"We'll catch up with you boys later. We're going to go help Jessica pack." Hermione said to the boys.
"Okay in that case we'll see you tonight. I was going to say later as well but then I realized girls and packing could take hours." Draco said dodging a playful punch that Hermione threw at him.
End Chap-
