Chapter 3

It was Viktor Krum.

"You knew about this didn't you?" Asked Ron to Hermione.

"Don't be silly Ron, of course I didn't." Said Hermione.

They had no time to discuss the issue further as Professor Mc.Gonagall placed the sorting hat on the three-legged stool in front of the first years. Harry was lost in his thoughts, missing the Sorting Hat's song and the initial sorting

After all the students were sorted Dumbledore stood and Harry felt a sense of being secure. He very much believed the fact that as long as Dumbledore was there he and his friends would be under no harm.

"For now," he said. "These are the only words I have to say, now tuck in."

Immediately the four house tables were filled with heaps of food and no words were spoken as everyone tucked in.

Finally when most of them had finished and the noise level was starting to increase Dumbledore stood up and the authority he commanded could be immediately seen in the pin drop silence that followed.

"To our new hands, a warm welcome. To our old hands, welcome back. As always the forbidden forest is forbidden to all."

Dumbledore made a few more announcements and then they were free to go up to their houses.

Harry, Ron and Hermione took a few shortcuts and soon reached their house.

"Misty" said Harry, who being a head boy knew what the password was and they all entered the gryffindor common room.

"Want to come with us and see our common room Ron" asked Harry.

"I think I will pass Harry, I am feeling too tired" said Ron and went up to his old dormitory.

Harry and Hermione went up to portrait of violet, the fat lady's friend. After saying the password (turtleneck) they entered their common room.

Their common room, was an exact replica of the Gryffindor common room, only it was considerably smaller. There were two chairs in front of the fireplace, which was crackling merrily. The ceilings were decorated with baubles and ribbons and a huge banner which read "WELCOME MR.POTTER AND MS.GRANGER". Harry was sure it was dobby's handiwork. The mark of the elf was evident in all the decorations. There was a staircase leading up to their dormitories.

For a while Harry and Hermione stood amazed looking at the decorations hardly believing they had a common room and 2 dormitories to themselves.

"Well," said Hermione. "This is more than I expected."

"Me too," echoed Harry.

Though they both wanted to explore more of the common room they found their eyes becoming heavy and decided to explore more of it in the morning.

"Good night Hermione," said Harry.

"Good night Harry," said Hermione.

They fell asleep fully clothed onto their beds

Harry woke up before Hermione and knocked on her door softly. The time was 6:30. Hermione opened the door very quickly.

"Not a heavy sleeper are you?" He asked grinning.

"I never was," she replied. "But I usually wake up by around 6 so this is quite late. But you can't blame me, not after the heavy feast we had last night. It really lulled me to sleep."

They both headed down to the great hall where they found Ron waiting for them.

"About time," he said. "I was about to come and wake you guys up."

"You wouldn't have been able to get through, you don't know the password." Said Hermione.

"Yeah…. well…" said Ron grinning sheepishly.

"She got you there, mate." Said Harry grinning.

After finishing breakfast they all went up to go and see the heads common room as it was called. They found an impatient Ginny waiting outside it.

"Oh there you are," said Ginny. "I was just coming to see you."

"More like coming to see the common room," said Ron sniggering and Ginny shot him a look.

They spent about 15min there after which it was time to go to their classes.

Harry and Hermione had been selected for Potions, Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures and Charms having gotten an owl in all these subjects. Ron had Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Care of Magical Creatures and Astronomy.

Harry and Hermione's first class was double Potions with the Slytherins. Ron had Astronomy.

They all headed to their respective classes.
