The Great Hall
Still here. Simmering, but otherwise fine. Harry sees this is about him. Every little thing that goes wrong he thinks is his fault, which I understand but now it's getting annoying. He's probably right, it probably is Vol-, I mean He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, RON who is reading over my shoulder, who is reading my PERSONAL diary. Yet the pieces don't fit, if he wanted Harry, I imagine he could've done in a more "private" fashion. For example fourth year, he got Harry alone instead of attacking him at the actual challenge where he could've made a much more grander statement of arrival. But with this he's taking this in such huge scale. He's after more than just Harry, he wants blood. Lots of it. Could this be the start of the war?
They haven't attacked yet. I'm guessing that if it is He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, he has wizards, death eaters, and maybe even dementors at his disposal. Us, on the other hand, are merely witches and wizards who can only do the bare minimum. Thank Merlin they haven't attacked. Yet as the threat of attack looms in the air, our sleeping arrangements have become better to the delight of Harry and Ron. The professors are creating tiny "rooms" if you will. It will take up the Great Hall but some room will be left in the center as a commons type area. While a room in the back will be for the teachers. The rooms come complete with a bunk bed, dresser, mirror, and a bathroom. So that means I'll have a room mate! Excellent! I wonder who I will bunk with. Probably the Head Boy? I haven't met him yet. I wonder who he is...OH! Wait they are announcing the pairs now...
Head's Room
What did I do? What did I do that was so bad for me to get Draco Malfoy as a bunk mate? I obey all the rules, do my homework, and manage to have a couple friends and this is how I get repayed? But he's Head Boy. Did the Dumbledore get knocked over the head recently? Malfoy's father is a loyal death eater for goodness sake, to put me in his room is the perfect oppurtunity to get information. Not to mention we are already enemies as it is. It doesn't help that he's attracted to nearly every girl he sees. Yet the feeling of disgust was mutual when he moved in his suitcase. It was matching black and green dragon skin, of course, the most expensive kind on the market. I prepared myself.
"Mudblood." I felt the temperature go down as I felt my face heat up with anger.
"Ferret." I said coldly. We stared each other down. Eventually I rolled my eyes at him and continued putting my things away in my half of the dresser. His eyebrows lifted with a sudden idea and smirked.
"I think I'll take the top bunk." he said, throwing his pillow onto the bunk. Once again, green silk with a black pattern of a snake on it, the finest you could buy. Then a realization hit me, if we're attacked during our sleep then I'm the first one dead. I tried to show indifference but I had actually planned on getting the top bunk.
"God Granger, how much crap did you bring?" he said eyeing my belonging, which took up the whole space of my bed. Honestly doesn't he know you have to be prepared? I didn't know how long I would be here so I took as much as I could, or three suitcases worth. Malfoy on the other hand had his one suitcase that I knew if we stayed more than a few weeks he would be in trouble. "Don't expect me letting you borrow anything like toothpaste or the like when you run out." I said in a "I know what is going to happen." voice.
"Like I would touch anything a mudblood has touched." Mudblood, that word again! I just want to turn him on mute when he has to say that word instead of something else.
Needless to say, we finished unpacking in silence. The rest of the time went by smoothly with the two of us avoiding each other at all costs and me curling into bed early.
I have to admit things could've been worse. Yet I know it's not going to be a tea party. I'm determined to figure out what is going on and any Head Girl duties I must perform. I won't let Malfoy get in my way and I won't let him get under my skin so he can annoy me. I'm Hermione Granger by God! One of the greatest minds of this century according to Witching Weekly! I'll figure out how to do it all somehow...
