Chapter 11- New Guy
(Hermione's point of view)
-About a week later-
"Monday mornings suck," I mumbled to myself as I walked out of the common room, carrying my school bag. I had two heavy books in my arms; they wouldn't fit in my bag, which was already over-stuffed.
I looked down at the books I had in my arms and realized they were the ones I need for the next day, not next class. I rolled my eyes and headed back into the common room. I put my bag down on the couch and took out the two books I needed for Charms and stuffed the other two books inside.
I sighed and walked out with a puzzled look on my face, staring at the floor.
Just then, something hit me hard on my shoulder. So hard, I fell down and my bag opened, and books splattered everywhere. I rubbed my shoulder and started to gather my books, not caring what made me fall because nobody would help me anyway.
Everyone always laughs at me when I fall, no matter the situation, so I didn't bother looking up. That was until I saw a hand picking up my books one by one. There where two feet behind it, squatted down.
I looked up and saw a nice-looking boy with a shy look on his face. He had sleek, blond hair that was gelled back to show his face. His face was white, but not too white, so it didn't look pale. He had nice, blue eyes and very white teeth that showed when he looked up and smiled shyly.
He's one of those guys that have the bad boy look without the bad boy attitude. "Hi," he finally said, standing up. He shuffled the books to one of his hands and held out the other. I took it and got up slowly.
I got a glace at his robes and saw that he's a Gryffindor, too.
"My name's Benjamin," he said.
"Hi, I'm Hermione."
"That's a really nice name," he smiled.
I smiled back. Benjamin explained how his family had just moved from the U.S. He was new to Hogwarts and most of Britain. Then he held out his hand shyly and asked if he could walk me to class.
"Sure," I answered, taking his hand. "It'll help you get to know the school a bit more."
Hurricanes suck. Living in Florida, I got hit by a lot of those. I lost power for a week I know, how did I live? lol so that's why I had to cut this so short. Also cause I have writer's block now. I know what I want tot do, but I'm not sure how to get to it. Hmm. We'll see. lol.
