Right in the middle of dressing and doing make-up there was a knock on Hermione's door, Ginny jumped up to answer it. Dumbledore, their schools headmaster was at the door.
"Girls I regret to inform you to cancel whatever plans you have and please start to pack up your things; we are unfortunately cutting this part of our trip short and traveling to beauxbatons early as possible tomorrow morning." Dumbledore in formed them with a sigh, "I hope that this does not come as too much as predicament, but it seems that the headmaster does not wish us here any longer." Hermione and Ginny looked at each other, made a face and then smiled and nodded to Dumbledore, seeing their nods he walked out of the door.
"Well this sucks!" Hermione said once she was certain Dumbledore was down the hall. She took off her new dress that she had bought for the trip, and threw it on the bed. "I was so psyched up for tonight, whatever though; we can hang out when we get to Beauxbatons." Hermione heaved.
"Its ok herms, don't worry bout it ok, we'll go out with them when we get there?" Ginny smiled, and gave Hermione a big hug. Hermione nodded and started to get redressed in her clothes and then they started packing soon to be joined by Malfoy who had to also pack his things. Ginny left to go back to her own room to see how Blaise was doing and if he was packing yet, leaving the two roommates alone.
"What's wrong Granger you don't seem to happy?" Malfoy asked in mocking voice.
"None of your business actually, but if you really wanna know I had a date that was cancelled due to the fact that we have to bundle up our things, and leave, so you can just shut the fuck up ok?" Hermione shot back.
"Ooo seems like someone's not in a very good mood huh? Awww… so sad get over it." Malfoy said.
"What the hell is your problem Malfoy, wait you know what I don't even care, and im done packing so bye." Hermione said wretchedly. She closed up her trunk and headed to the one place she could always count on, her sanctuary, the library. The one place that she knew in Durmstrang was the library she pushed open the large wood door and ran to the shelves, hiding behind them was something she knew how to do well, to find a corner to cry in and to hide out until she was composed and ready to face the world.
She ran down the row of student encyclopedias, and across the row of auto-biographies, she found a back corner of the library and slid down the shelves, but instead of sitting on the floor, she sat down on something large and rectangular. She got up and pulled it out from under her, it was a book a very interesting book at that, it was think and pink, and blue, with large gold letters at the top of it, writing out the words "The Guide to the Schools: a gossipers tips tricks and secrets." She looked at it with a mix of confusion and curiosity, and sat back down on the floor; she wiped the tears from her eyes, and opened up the book.
Whoever had written the book seemed to be the ultimate gossiper, they knew everything about each of the wizarding schools, passageways, history, and some dirt on the teachers. Hermione pulled open the section on Hogwarts, in big bold letters at the top of the page it said "Hogwarts: The drug school" she had heard that title before, many a time. And she had defiantly witnessed why that was their schools title, their was always a little bit of everything floating around, she had tried a fair share of things, but that was just a right of passage, she didn't intend to do it again. She thought for a minute, Durmstrang was the sex school; she had witnessed that too, her poor eyes had seen quite a bit, she had learned in just an hour or so to avoid the broom closets, and empty classrooms.
She paused again, Beauxbatons, she had heard, was the party school, warm weather, and the students being allowed to leave the school grounds, had been said to contribute to the title. She looked down the page, the book was amazing it had detailed maps, almost like the marauders map Harry had. It also listed people who had gone down in infamy due to things they had done and been caught doing, and sorts of things. She checked the spine of the book, it wasn't a library book, but whose was it? She picked it up and shoved in her bag which she had forgotten to take off before exiting her room.
The rest of her night was very uneventful, just going and chatting with Ginny and then sneaking into her room once she was assured that Malfoy was sound asleep. She woke up early the next morning and boarded a large carriage.
"As you might have noticed, this is the exact carriage that the Beauxbatons used to visit us in your fourth year. You will have to travel along with your partner again, and you may pick another couple to travel with though, because the individual compartments are meant to carry four people. So please board the carriage." McGonagall voiced loudly. Hermione and Ginny got on the train and took a compartment followed by Blaise and Malfoy. The journey to beauxbatons was long and everyone slept most of the way.
When they had finally arrived that night at Beauxbatons they walked up to a small but very elegant, palace. It had a huge garden with a huge ice-sculpture fountain that Hermione guessed had been bewitched not to melt. The halls were lined with more of the sculpture and were brightly lit with light that had a feel of sunlight. They were brought into the dining chamber which was elegantly decorated in greens and blues.
They ate a French meal of various dishes and then they headed outside to a large guest house. Hermione and Malfoy were instructed to go up the stairs and to the 4th door on the left. The halls were narrow and the house small, Hermione guessed that their room would be even smaller than their last. She walked up the stairs, door one, two, three, four. She turned the knob and pushed the door open, she gasped in amazement, the room was extremely large with cathedral ceilings and elegant champagne colored furniture. The room was filled with two couches, a coffee table and a large kitchen, branching off from the common room was two big, graceful, spiral staircases. The banister of one of the staircases was draped with light green garland and the other with pale pink garland.
She ran up the staircase with the pink garland on the banister and opened the door. The room before her was beautifully decorated with gold, cream and pink, with expensive French fabrics. In the center of the room was large and elegant canopy bed, Hermione jumped on it, it was much more comfortable than the bed she had been sleeping on for the past couple of weeks. After lying on the bed for a minute or two, she decided to check out Malfoy's room and look further at the common room. She walked in to the lavishly decorated cream and golden room. And then up the other set of stairs.
"Yes," Malfoy said upon hearing the knock on his door.
"It's just me I wanted to check out your room," Hermione responded. Hermione heard the door unlock and saw Malfoy's face in the door way. His room was blue green and gold, and the same size as Hermione's. But unlike her room his was much more masculine, his bed was a simple frame with the bed in it, she was about to comment on the room when Malfoy spoke.
"Did you come to check out my room, or me in it babe, because that was one of the best excuses to get in my room I've ever heard." Malfoy smirked.
"Uggghhh, you are so full of your self Malfoy, get a life, I wanted to see your room, not you." Hermione said with a look of disgust at the very idea of Malfoy, but truth be told she knew Malfoy was making an effort not to be so horrible, so she said nothing more.
"Well just so you know, this is the party school and I've already been invited to three, you could come with me you know, as long as Michael didn't join us." Malfoy suggested confidently.
"Well probably not, but if your lucky I might change my mind." Hermione joked.
"Ok well if your not here to give me some than I have some things to do so if you'll excuse me," Malfoy joked back. He walked passed Hermione and flashed her, a seductive smile, she was a bit annoyed by his actions, but at least he wasn't insulting her, it was a start, she thought. She was trying to forget all his actions at Durmstrang because although she was very flattered that he had admitted his feelings toward her, she still wasn't quite sure of her feelings back. She knew she loved Michael, but she did think that Malfoy with his new attitude was very appealing. She shook her head again, he had hated her if anything was gonna happen it would take time and trust, because she had had neither things with him. She did really wanna go to those parties and it was almost 6:00 and they started at 8:00, how come Michael hadn't invited her to them? He had to be invited he was always the first to know about parties, she decided to see if he wanted to go to any of the parties, screw Malfoy she was going to go to them, with her boyfriend.
She walked down the hall, toward Michael's room and knocked on the door, she waited a couple of seconds, no answer. She knocked again, no answer, where was he? She saw that the door was unlocked and pushed it open, the room had the same layout as hers, but the colors were light purple and green. She guessed the green was Michael's so she slowly climbed the stairs, as she climbed the stairs she heard a female voice, she stopped, it sounded French, she recognized the thick accent. She ran up the stairs quickly and pressed her ear to the door.
"You are so cute, I am so hoppy zat choo invited me to zee your room, I like choo a-lot!" The girl flirted enthusiastically.
"Well I like you a lot too you are so pretty, I have never been with such a beautiful girl." He flirted back.
"Ooo! Choo are very sveet! Hey do choo want to go to ze---oo!" Her voice was muffled, Hermione gasped, did he kiss her? She pressed her ear closer to the door. It was quiet, what the hell was that girl and her boyfriend doing, she was fuming with jealousy and anger, but she decided to keep her head, it might just be nothing, she thought. She decided to wait; if anything else happened she was gonna bust thru that door. After about 10 minutes of silence she heard something.
"Oh my, Michael, Michael!" the girl screamed in ecstasy. Hermione felt a tear streaming down her face, her worst fear was confirmed, he was cheating on her. The without a second thought to it she shoved the door open, her tears now flowing freely. He, her boyfriend, who was on top of the girl, snapped his head to look at the door, in a mix of shock and embarrassment. Hermione looked at the girl, and then at Michael, the sight of their naked bodies, made her wanna puke.
"What the hell Michael, was I not good enough or something, didn't put enough out? Because we have been going out for a very short time yet you already feel the need to cheat on me, wow Michael I though you were different." She yelled at him while throwing various things around the room. But before he could respond she continued.
"God, I can't believe the nerve you have, you know what I've been through the last couple of weeks, with my parents in all, I thought you were the only person I could count on, but it seems I was wrong. I—I cannot believe you, god! Whatever do me a favor and don't talk to me ever again, and you know what, im sorry that im not a slut, or whatever she is that im not!" Hermione said and slammed the door. She ran as fast as she could back to her room how could he do this to her? She ran up to her room, and sat down in the corner of her bathroom, crying and throwing up a couple of times, her throat burned and stung but she didn't care, what really hurt was her heart.
Once she had finally calmed down she walked downstairs to make some food in the kitchen, she was about to make some pizza when she saw Malfoy's door open and the light on. She walked up the stairs and peaked in to the room, he was sitting on his bed reading; she pulled herself back from the door and knocked, He looked at her with a confused look on his face.
"Hey umm... so what about those parties you going?" Hermione asked.
"Well I didn't want to go alone but it seems that's not a problem anymore," Malfoy smirked.
"Give me about half and hour and ill be ready to go alright?" Hermione flirted back. She ran to her room pulled out a denim mini-skirt that Ginny bought her and a blue and pink silk cami. She went and took a shower, trying only to forget what she had seen; she had to do something dramatic. She put on her make up and straightened her hair and she was ready to go.
Her and Malfoy apparated to a very large mansion right outside of the school grounds, the whole house seemed to be filled with people, the music was loud and the lights were dimmed. Hermione spotted a table of drinks and asked Malfoy to get her one, she didn't usually drink she knew it wasn't good, but at that moment she decided that she didn't give a fuck, she just wanted to get away from it all….. so she took a sip.
