They had a arrived at Hogwarts not much later, as they all continued hoping out of the train and into a carriage. Hermione and Ginny had caught up with Harry, Ron and Patrina. They scrambled in to the nearest cart and waited until it began to move.
"It's a bit squashy," Hermione said as she finally hopped in.
"Oh fine Hermione come sit on my lap," Harry said as Hermione shoved onto his lap.
"Thanks Harry." Ginny was sitting next to Harry and through a dirty but sincere look at Hermione. Hermione blushed then looked out the cart door. It started to move and that's when she final looked back at Ginny. Ginny had her hand in Harry's and was resting her head on his shoulder. They had reached the large oak doors, and then everyone rushed out of their carts towards it.
"Hermione, wait for me." Ginny was the last one to get out of the cart and was the smallest. Hermione stopped and waited for her.
"Thanks Mione," "It's fine Gin." They made there way through the doors and through the entrance hall to the Great hall. There the four long tables stood separately; one for each house and another long table at the top of the room. The roof was a misty black like the sky outside and torches were lit upon both sides of the walls.
"Hermione, Ginny," Ron had called from the Gryffindor table. They had saved them a spot right between Harry and Ron. Hermione and Ginny walked over to there table and sat down, Ginny next to Harry and Hermione in between Ginny and Ron. Hermione glanced at the person next to Ron. It was Patrina.
"Oh hi again, um are you in Gryffindor?" Hermione asked confusedly. The girl looked back at her.
"Yeah I am, it's going to be great, this is so different to my old school." She smiled at Hermione and she smiled back.
"Hey guys." A friendly, well know voice had spoke, "How was your summer?"
"Oh hey, Neville, yeah mine wasn't to bad but im sure Hermione had a funny one." Ginny nudged Harry in the shoulder. "Ow, what was that for?"
"Harry." Ginny looked back at Neville.
"Hermione I heard all about your life's happening, I think it's amazing, I can't believe that your not a muggle after all," Neville pretended to put a shocked face on.
"Hey are you lying to me, hey look at his face guys, he knew."
"Well, uh um I got to go sorry." Neville ran up to the other end of the table where the first years would be sitting soon.
"He did know I can't believe it, how many people are going to lie to me this year." Hermione put her head in her hands as Dumbledore began to speak.
"As we all know this is one of the most special years in a very long time, for once we can live in peace without knowing we could be killed, at last the Death Eater's will not return." Hermione threw a dirty look towards the Slytherin table as did most of the Gryffindor table did.
"Now, now, children, among us are a few people who have changed their ways and will no longer be apart of the evil society. Alast im here to welcome the new first years to Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry." The first years walked through another pair of wooden doors and they stood at the head of the tables grouped up. A selected few from 6th year were chosen to sing a song they had came up with for this wonderful occasion. It was four minutes later that the first years began to be sorted into their different houses.
"Harlow, Kent" yelled Professor McGonagall. A small plum face boy walked up to the wooden stool and put the hat one his head.
"Hmmmm, different thoughts running through your head but let me just see, a ha Hufflepuff." The kid ran off to the Hufflepuff table and was greeted by many. After a three kids Gryffindor came to get one.
"Brockwell, Lindsay." It was a tall, looking girl that stood up to the stool; she put the hat on her head proudly and as soon as she did the hat shouted, "Gryffindor." All the kids were sorted into the different house, at last. Then Dumbledore rose from his seat.
"Welcome, Welcome to the official beginning of a new school year, dig in and have fun." He sat down and food began to appear all over the tables. Ron had grabbed a lot of food and piled his plate high, as did Harry and Patrina, Hermione although quite hungry didn't eat that much. But she did have a few pieces of Lamb and a Few bowls of trifle and ice cream.
"Hermione, why aren't you eating?" asked her best friend Ginny sitting beside her.
"Oh, I um not feeling well." Hermione lied but new she couldn't tell the truth.
"Well, lets take you to Madam Pomfrey then." Ginny looked at her with a face showing that she new the truth.
"Nah, I just want to go to bed." Hermione didn't lie this time cause she really wanted to go to bed.
"Well, im going to come with you, I want to see your new room." Ginny said with a sly smile on her face.
"Well I'll come to." Harry said confidently.
"No, Harry you stay here, you can see it tomorrow," Ginny said with a begging look on her face.
"Ok then but first thing tomorrow im gong to have a look ok." Harry smiled and Ginny and Hermione smiled back.
The two girls walked out of the Great Hall and began walking up a flight of stairs.
"Where is it exactly Hermione?" Ginny asked quietly.
"Oh on the third floor. Behind a painting of a guy in a suit of amour standing in front of a fire place."
"That's a bit odd don't you recon." Ginny was walking fast excited to be seeing a heads room.
'Yeah but wait till you hear the password," Hermione laughed as she thought of it.
"Why what is it, tell me Hermione don't make me hex you."
"Ok no need to go that far, ok its 'Banana Blop,'" she cracked up after saying.
"What the hell, ok that's stupid." Ginny cracked up as well. They walked up two other flights of stairs and finally reached the third floor. They turned to the left and at the end of that hall there was a large Painting of the guy in a suit of armour.
"Why hello there, I suppose your one of the heads as well, ok what's the password then."
"Banana Blop," Hermione said trying to control her laughter.
"Well, yes it's a funny one isn't it, I hope you people decide to change it to something more appropriate."
"Yes I hope so to." Hermione and Ginny tumbled into the head common room.
"Well, well, well another meeting I suppose." Draco was sitting one of the armchairs next to the fire. The girl's laughter stopped. Hermione threw Draco a sneer and walked straight to a door that had ' Hermione Granger Head Girl' writing on it in gold paint.
"Come on Ginny let's check out my room." Hermione pushed the door open to a wonderful room while Ginny through the weirdest looks at Draco.
"Wow," is all Hermione could say as she looked at her new room.
"It's sound like you've never seen a room like this Granger, you must be pretty stupid." Hermione slammed the door shut instead of saying anything. The room was alike to her new one at her new room, except this time there was no walk in robe. The bathroom was off the back of the room. The bed was a double one with drapes coming down all around it. The window was open letting a cool breeze in to the room. All Hermione's stuff had already been transferred. Ginny walked into the bathroom and Hermione followed.
"Holly Merlin." Ginny's mouth stood open flabbergasted at the sight of the bathroom. There was extra make-up on the bench near the large golden-framed mirror. Hair products stood all over the bench as well. A bath sat to the window side of the room while next to it was the biggest shower ever. The room smelled of soap, which was because of the bath; it was filled with soap.
"This is heaven Hermione." Ginny ran to the mirror and looked at all the eyeliner at the bench.
"Hey would you mind if I stayed here tonight?" Ginny asked hoping that Hermione would say yes.
"Yeah it might do me some good if you did, then I wouldn't have to put up with Malfoy all alone."
"Oh my god, thank you so, so much Mione. Oh yeah then we can't talk about what you wanted to earlier."
"Cool Ginny that would be great." Ginny began walking out the door, "I'll be back later with my stuff, I have an idea to." Hermione snickered.
"Ok see ya Gin im gonna have a bath. Ginny walked out of the common room and raced to the Gryffindor tower.
Hermione walked back into her wonderful set bedroom and began to unpack her stuff. She took out a pair of silky boxer shorts with red hearts over a dark blue background. The she brought out a small light blue singlet. She shut her trunk and walked back over towards the bathroom. She shut the door behind her and dropped her clothes on the seat in front of the mirror. She started to undress and then slipped into the warm bathtub. She lay there for 20 minutes thinking.
- What did I do, I can't believe im sixteen, don't have a boyfriend, found out im pureblood and is bloody sharing a room with my enemy.-
Hermione put her head up, she heard a faint knock at the door.
"Who is it,"
"Who else would it be Granger." Hermione sighed.
"What do you want?"
"I have something for you."
"Ha what is it."
"Let me in and I'll give it to you."
"You think im that stupid, im having a bath hear."
"So, does that matter."
"Oh god damn you Malfoy."
"Don't say that you bloody twit."
"Is that the best you can do."
"Don't force me Granger. Bloody hell just let me in."
"Wait a minute." Hermione got out of the bathtub and wrapped a pink towel around her dripping wet body. Her hair was not so straight but really messy. She walked over to the door and opens it.
"What do you want Malfoy." As he stepped inside, He handed her a letter, she grabbed it and turned it over.
"Who's it from." Draco asked.
"Oh get lost Malfoy, non of your business." Draco turned and Hermione slammed the door shut again. She lifted the seal and began pulling a white piece of parchment out. And started to read it.
Dear HermioneIm sorry this is a little eh how do you put it late, but I eh wanted to say Happy Birthday Hermione. I hope you are doing well, I am very good, and otherwise I wouldn't have time to write to you. How are Harry and Ron treating you? I hope you made Head girl and hope to chat to you on the computer thingy you call it soon. Hope Malfoy does not eh give you trouble this year; all my luck is to you. I wish to see you again but I knowing things I can't until Christmas. Hope your life changes soon. Wink, wink. And um yeah I don not know what else I am to say. Except I miss you lots, have a great year.
Love you.
Victor Krum.
Hermione's eyes started to water as she put the note back on the bench in front of the mirror. She clenched her fists, and hit the tables. The memories started to flood her mind, but her eyes sprung open as it stopped on Her sixteenth Birthday party. She shook her head and began to dress in her clothes again. On goes her underwear then, boxers and then her singlet. She chucked the towel back on the floor. And picked up the note of the bench. She ran into her bedroom and jumped on her bed. She had a sudden thought she could talk to Victor on her computer, he'd understand her troubles, but first of all where is her computer. –Shit where did I put it. - She searched her whole room even where she thought she put it in her trunk. She went to look for it in the common room. Hermione pushed the door open and began crawling on the ground for a small tiny box. "Where is it?" she sat as she reached her hand under the coffee table. Draco wasn't there but she noticed his bedroom door was shut. She decided it was worth a shot to talk to him to actually not talk to him but ask him if he had seen here computer, well to her personal diary computer. What made this computer so special was that she kept every conversation she had ever had with someone and saved it to her computer. She would look over them each time she'd feel gloomy or start a new one with one of her friends or someone she didn't know. She knocked on Malfoy's door and instead of waiting for an answer she barged straight in.
"Hey, What the hell are doing?" he asked her as she barged through into his room.
"Im looking for my computer." Hermione said confidently.
"Your what?" Hermione sighed.
"My computer, at this moment it would be a small box."
"Oh," Draco said with a smirk, "Would it look like this!" he pulled out a small box from his robe pocket.
"Give that here Malfoy." She ran full steam at Malfoy.
"Hey watch it Granger," he said as he moved out of the way and Hermione fell right into his bed. "Hey get off my bed you might contaminate it."
"Hermione, what are you doing." She jumped up and turned towards the doorway. Ginny was standing in her school robe.
"I eh, he stole my computer." Ginny face went confused.
"Your what?"
"My computer."
"And what may that be?" Ginny asked even more confused.
"Oh don't worry I just wanna get it back."
"What are you wearing Granger." Draco said staring at her.
"It is called Pj's"
"Hah more like underwear." Draco let another smirk come to his face.
"God you don't know anything Ferret face." She let out another scream and kicked Malfoy in the legs. He dropped the box in his hand onto his Green and Black bed covers. Hermione made a grab for it, luckily this she had gotten it because Malfoy was lying on the ground holding on to his knees.
"Fucken Bitch, Hermione, I hate you." These words went straight to her heart, she knew Malfoy didn't like her but he had never said it to her face before.
She walked out of his room and walked back into her own. She sat on her bed next to Ginny.
"Now what were wanting to speak about earlier?" Ginny looked at Hermione seriously.
"Oh, um I forgot, it was nothing." Ginny looked a tiny bit relieved.
"That's good cos I wanted to ask you a favour."
"What kind of favour?"
"A makeover." Hermione's face went blank.
"A makeover, but what for Ginny your beautiful?"
"Yeah well, I don't want to be like this please I have a few ideas. And we'll test it on Malfoy when were done."
"Fine but this I sonly for you."
An hour or so later Ginny and Hermione walked into the common room, thankfully Malfoy was still in his room. From what Ginny use to look like; red hair, small and innocent was now transformed into something completely different. She dyed her hair Brown and chucked in Blue streaks. She wore heavy eyeliner and eye shadow, which brought out her beautiful Green eyes. She wore Hermione's new black Mini skirt with one of Hermione's pj singlet which was Green.
"Do I look sexy or what Mione." Hermione looked at her odd then laughed.
"Yes Gin you look hot, but why did you do it."
"A change you got one, I need one." Ginny winked at Hermione and headed to Malfoy's bedroom door. Ginny pushed open the door quietly and noticed the light were off. She switched on the light.
"What the hell are you doing Bitch." Malfoy said sleepily moving his head of his pillow.
"Oh shut up Malfoy, I need your opinion." Ginny put her hands on her hips.
"What for."
"On what I look like idiot."
"Why don't you ask you freak of a friend."
"Hmmm cos you're a guy, what do you think."
"Fine, what am I looking at." Malfoy moved his head up further and opened his eyes further.
"Well, do I look hot?" Ginny asked with a smirk on his face.
"From my point of view your not to bad, nothing like you brother, but lay of the eyeliner a little, it looks like you've got a black eye."
"Thanks Dr-Malfoy." Ginny turned and walked out of his room back into the warm common room. Before shutting Hermione stared at Malfoy one last time and shook her head in disgrace.
Ginny sat down in one of the armchairs and Hermione did the same.
"Did you see his hair, he looks so hot when it's messy and he was wearing a green singlet." Ginny drifted of into fantasyland.
"Ginny snap out of it," Ginny came back to reality, "Aren't you going out with Harry?"
"Well yeah but, he, um he flirts with every girl including you."
"But he loves you Ginny, I know he does give him a chance, hey I'll talk to him." Malfoy's door creaked open.
"Do you guys know how to shut up." Both girls looked at him. He was as Ginny said wearing a green singlet with black silky boxers.
"No we don't know." Both of them said in unison.
"Fine I won't go to bed." He walked over to the double armchair.
"Malfoy I thought you said that was underwear." Malfoy looked up still sleepy.
"Yeah and that's why im wearing it, you idiot."
"FINE, but you don't have to be rude." Hermione turned her head away.
"You're the one who started it."
"Guys just stop it, I've had enough, if your going to live together then make it peaceful. But for now im going to bed." Ginny walked into Hermione's bedroom. Hermione still sat there forgetting Malfoy even existed. She opened the letter she had still had in her hand from Victor. I miss you lots kept on replaying in her head. He actually missed her, for once in her life a guy returned love to her more then a friend. But he was not the only boyfriend she had might have had.
"Granger Is that the letter from earlier, let me read it."
"Mind your own business Malfoy, its personal." Draco made a reach for it and surprisingly snatched it out of her hand.
"God Malfoy give it back," tears came to her eyes, as she sat their not wasting her energy in getting it back off him. Malfoy snickered as he read the letter.
"Seems like someone's falling for you Granger. I couldn't blame them because you might have given them a love potion or something."
"Ha ha Malfoy, we haven't even learnt that," Hermione gave a small laugh. "I might just suggest that to Professor Snape and told him you came up with the idea. He'd be pleased to here that you have a Feminine side to you."
"Very funny Granger. I hope you suffer this year, I wish you weren't head girl, even your friend Weasley girl would be nicer then you."
"Oh that's just great then Malfoy, I hope you have fun working out how to exactly do that,"
"Oh I will just you wait and see." Hermione stormed back to her bedroom and once again slammed her bedroom door shut. Ginny was lying on Hermione's double bed asleep in her pyjama pants and a singlet. Hermione switched the lights off. She crawled into bed next to Ginny and lifted the covers. That night she had another dream.
Dream…Hermione was at the Yule ball a few years ago. She was dancing in Victor's arms as they celebrated.
"Hermione, you are wonderful, you are making me so happy."
"Oh thanks Victor, I think that about you to." Hermione was shook awake…
