Hello again! Here is again another chapter in Dramione.
As always, please read and review...if you have any chapter ideas, please let me know in a review!
The crowd was restless, trapped into watching the sorting of yet another first-year class, waiting impatiently for dinner. The names droned on until...
"Hermione Granger!" proclaimed Professor McGonagall.
Pushing her way to the front, Hermione eagerly set her eyes on the withered old hat, brushing her curly hair out of her face. In doing so, she elbowed the person next to her.
"Ouch!"
"Sorry!" Hermione whispered, mortified. She glanced at his face, thin, pale, and set in a sneer, and turned away, resuming her journey to the hat.
Draco eyes immediately fastened on her face, following her delicate structure, to her worried brows, and fell on her brown...no, amber eyes. In the split second, before she turned away, he was unable to resist and lifted the corner of his mouth in a ghost of a smile. He could have sworn that she smiled back.
"Slytherin!"
Draco's half semblance of a smile turned into a full one. It was only a matter of time now…
"Draco Malfoy!"
He sauntered up to the front, already dreaming about that Hermione girl.
"Slytherin!"
They became fast friends, the tying for the best in every class. In all aspects, they learned from each other. Draco learned to accept Muggle-borns, and being the de facto leader of the other Slytherins, helped them accept Hermione as well. Hermione, this time around, was truly integrated into the Wizarding world, exploring all corners of rich wizarding cultures with Draco. When asked later, Hermione confessed that she was given the choice between Gryffindor and Slytherin, between friendship and true love. She chose the latter and had no regrets.
