Blaise looked down at Draco and burst out laughing. Draco just glared at him. He had been revived but he was still in the process of getting up.
"Oh, Drake, you should have seen your face when she got close. Looks like Granger bites back this year." Blaise said wiping tears from his eyes.
"Zabini shut it." Draco replied when he stood. "Let's go."
They started walking towards the Prefects compartment and every time Blaise looked at Draco he started laughing all over again.
"This year we will all have one common room connected to each house common room, though we are told that we must stay out of other houses' common room unless it is an emergency. We each have our own rooms connected to said common room." Alicia was explaining to everyone. "When patrolling the halls we are to patrol with at least one other person for safety's sake."
Hermione was excited over the new common room, except for the fact that Malfoy was sharing it, but she wasn't afraid just annoyed. She looked over at the end of the speech to see Malfoy glaring at her, while his companion, Blaise Zabini? was glancing first at her than at Malfoy and trying not to laugh. This was going to be one long year.
After the sorting, Dumbledore started the feast. Hermione was talking to Lavender and Parvati when she excused herself saying she had to use the restroom. On the way there she met with a particularly annoying ferret.
"Well, well, well, look who it is."
"Malfoy leave me alone."
"Did the Mudblood lose her courage?"
"Look, Malfoy, I know you can't resist bugging me, but do you mind? I have to go."
"Where? Meeting Weasley in a closet somewhere?" He sneered
"No, when I said I have to go, I meant I have to GO!" She shouted and pushed him against the wall, her wand suddenly against his throat. "Malfoy you had better watch your tongue this year or you'll find that I do not have as much patience or tolerance. Be warned." With that she walked away. Or at least she tried.
"What did you do Malfoy?" She was furious and he knew it.
"I didn't do anything Granger. Now, release me from this spell. I have a very important meeting that I don't want to miss."
"I can't release you if it's you who cast the spell you bloody idiot!"
"I didn't cast the spell. Why would I want to be stuck to a Mudblood?"
"I would watch your tongue Mr. Malfoy." A voice said behind them.
"Professor!" Indeed it was Professor Dumbledore behind them.
"Come with me Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy." He said. They followed him curiously and Hermione found it harder to not simply say, 'Hey do you mind? I have to use the loo!' with each step.
When they reached his office, Dumbledore had them each take a seat.
"Now, as Ms. Granger noticed, you two are bound together with a complex spell. The teachers and I have decided that it is the best way to form house unity…"
"BY BINDING US TOGETHER!" surprisingly this was Hermione, who as we know is quite irritated at this moment, and of course she blushed immediately afterward.
"Yes." Dumbledore said with his twinkle in his eye somehow more pronounced. "We had hoped that you two would see that by binding the King of Slytherin and the Brains of 'Golden Trio of Gryffindor' we could ultimately unite the rest of the school. Unfortunately we immediately noticed the hostility between the two of you and had to take more extreme measures. We have of course realized that you two would have to have the same classes and have arranged for you to take them as you had the same classes anyway excluding Muggle Studies and Divination Which we just had you both switch to Muggle Studies as we were sure that Mr. Malfoy had already acquired all the necessary teachings of Divination. You shall each have your own rooms and a separate common room from the other prefects. Yes with the same privileges and rules. Now any questions?"
Hermione's hand immediately shot up.
"Yes?"
"What about privacy? How are we going to change clothes? Or USE THE BATHROOM?" Huge hint professor!
"We trust you will figure that out Ms. Granger. I will show you to your rooms now."
A/N: Hey sorry it's short. I wanted to put that in before I forgot. Also I wanted to reply to my first four reviewers.
Constructive Critisim?- Heinous was a pun. You know like butt? Also I can and will ignore certain details of 5& 6 and I have read them. Also, I never said anything about my characters being OOC. I don't want them to be. Sorry if I confused you. BTW I don't need a beta my grammar and spelling is fine though critisim is spelled criticism. Also, what is a frosh?
m- Sorry, I meant that she couldn't believe that they were breaking the age old tradition of two prefects per house. I am sorry that I confused you.
Doctor of Writing and Orlandoforme710- to you and m I dedicate this chapter and thank you for the nice reviews.
