Author's Note: Ooookay, second chapter. Isn't it great? Gotta keep the bowl rolling, I mean, I know I just posted the first chapter yesterday. Why do I feel the need to update? I don't know, and what's more, I don't care. Hmpf. Don't question my logic, it will only give you a headache. To refresh you memory, everyone who was in the compartment, Draco, Hermione, Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Ginny, Neville, and Luna. For the record, Ginny was sitting with Neville. And Hermione was next to Draco. Who Ginny is dating shall remain secret until further notice. Strictly for the reason that.. I don't know who she's going to be dating. Not Harry, even though I love that, I have someone else who's going to be dating Harry. A made-up, they're fun. You'll meet her in later in this chapter.. Well, actually, probably in either the first or second paragraph. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas on who they'd like to see Ginny dating, then tell me in a review and I'll make my final decision based on that. ALSO! I need ideas on what kind of balls are in this story, if any, of course. I don't -have- to have any if that's not what my reader wants, but I'd love to have some. -nods- Okay, Im done rambling now. Oh, and before I forget, Criss is in Slytherin and Aira is in Ravenclaw.
Love,
Jenny

Draco had kept his act up the entire train ride to Hogwarts, and received looks from Ron and Harry the whole time, as well. At some point Ginny had also lost it and went into a fit of giggles. She and Hermione had collapsed on top of whoever was in the seat next to them, clutching their ribs.
A little after Draco and Hermione had arrived in the compartment, Aiden Scott, Harry's girlfriend had entered and slid into the seat next to the 'Golden Boy', as Draco referred to him. She didn't take her eyes off Draco, until she asked the question, "What the hell is he doing here?" Everyone had turned to her, and blinked at her as if she'd done something incredibly stupid. "What!" She asked, rolling her eyes, still waiting for the answer to her original question.
"You all are my best friends!" Said Draco, still grinning like mad. Aiden had fought her smile as much as she could, but couldn't hold it for long and she, too, erupted into hysterics.
Hermione looked up at Dumbledore as the feast ended, "The Head Boy and Girl are to show the Prefects to their new tower, but not before leading the first years to the Proper tower." He continued. "Now, on that final note, I bid you all farewell." The Headmaster finished and everyone filed out.
"I'll see you all tomorrow!" Hermione called after Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Neville, Dean Thomas, Ginny, and Luna.
"Bye Hermione!" Called back Ron and Harry. She waved and met up with Criss, Aira, Draco, Padma, and Justin.
"Okay, Criss and I will take lead the Slytherin first years," Began Aira, "Draco, you and your good friend Hermione can take the Gryffindors to their tower, Justin, take the Hufflepuff and Padma, take the Ravenclaw." When she finished, they all ran to catch up with the houses they were to lead. When Draco and Hermione reached the Gryffindor first years, Draco called out for them to follow them to their House.
"Watch the stairs," Hermione warned, "They like to change while you're on them." She said, noting the looks of horror on the children's faces, she also noted Draco's smirk. "That's not nice," She told him, rolling her eyes.
"It was -funny-." He countered, with a shrug.
"You're really not so bad when you're not surrounded by a bunch of idiotic Slytherins." Hermione said, with a small smile. A look crossed his face as if he was about to revert to his former, completely sarcastic, pricktastic self, until she lifted her eyebrows at him, "Our deal, Malfoy." She reminded him, receiving a frown from the blonde.
"You know, I have a first name."
"Really? I had no idea," She said, rolling her eyes. "Turn left," Hermione told him, nodding for emphasis.
"Well, contrary to popular believe, yes, I do have a first name." He said, a hint of sarcasm behind his tone. Hermione chuckled despite herself. He really wasn't all that bad when he was away from the rest of Slytherins. She thought, smiling inwardly.
"Hey, Malfoy," A voice called, causing them both to turn in the direction of the voice. It was, they discovered, Blaise Zabini, Draco's best friend, and the only Slytherin that Hermione knew and liked, well, besides Criss.
"Hey, Zabini." He countered smoothly, giving his fellow Slytherin a nod. Hermione smiled at Blaise.
"Hi, Blaise." She said, getting a smile and Hello in return. "You have Double Potions again this year, don't you?" She asked.
"Yeah, do you have it the same time as last year?" He asked, lifting his eyebrows questioningly.
"Yes, I'll see you tomorrow, then." She told him, as the first years filed in threw the hole behind the portrait. "Draco, we have to go, Criss and Aira still have to show us where the tower is." Draco nodded, and they headed down the stairs, both calling a goodbye to Blaise over their shoulders.
"Oh, god!" Hermione called, "I'm so sorry we're late." She told Criss as she and Draco approached the group.
"It's okay," He assured her. "We all just assumed that you two finally noticed the sexual tension there and we're making out in a broom closet somewhere. Well, I mean, that's how Padma put it." Criss added with a smirk at Padma, who just grinned. "Shall we go?" He asked, receiving nods from the rest of the group.
When they reached their new Tower, Hermione and Padma gasped, "It's beautiful!" Hermione declared, as the girls all ran into the center of their Common Room area. The Common Room area was as large as all the common rooms from each house put together. "It's huge!" She added, running her fingers over the blanket that laid across one of four couches. Each couch was covered in fabric with a different house color. The blankets were made of velvet and each had the house symbol and colors on it. Sitting in front of each couch was a wooden coffee table. They were each stained and made of Cherry wood. There was a fireplace on one end of the room of a massive size. Take two Draco's and have one stand on the others head, and that's about how tall it was.
Draco discovered, as he went threw a door, that the tower also had it's own library. Upon further examination he determined it was a fourth of the size of the school library and 'his best friend', Hermione, would love it. "Hey, Hermione," He called, and motioned for her to come check out the library. "Im going to go check out the rooms," He told her, "Go crazy." He added before he strode out of the library and looked at the six sets of stairs that each lead to a different door. Looking carefully he noted that above each door was a large hanging with name of person who was to occupy it, colored in his or her house colors. Walking up the steps to his room, he pulled open the door and walked inside. The room was huge, the size of the boys dormitory, yet had only one bed. There was however, a large kitchen area in one corner and a desk in another corner. Next to the desk was shelving with all his school books stacked neatly inside. He noticed that his trunk was not at the foot of his four-poster bed, but no where to be found. He saw, next to the bed a wardrobe where his clothes, undoubtedly were.
After wishing everyone else a good night, he dressed and climbed into his bed, and was asleep before his head hit the pillow.
Author's Note: I'll tell you more about the bedroom and the Tower next chapter. You will also find out why Blaise and Hermione are such good friends. I could tell you now, but that wouldn't be any fun.
Love,
Jenny
