Here is the next chapter. I hope you like it. Please read a review thanks love Hermione xxx
As the feast wore on Ron looked at Harry and Hermione jealously. Why were they getting their own quarters when he wasn't. It wasn't fair. Nothing good ever happened to him. It never even occurred to him that they might be married. He just assumed they were getting something good he wasn't. If they could help it he would never find out why they were being afforded this privilege before they were ready for everyone else to know about it. Everyone around them seemed ok with the fact they would be living together and not too many questions were asked of them. Lavender tried to ask too many questions but was swiftly informed that they were doing as the sorting hat had told them to which soon shut her up. It wasn't exactly accurate but it did stop her pestering them for more information.
Outside the great hall they were met by Professor Dendani who smiled brightly at them. "It is an honour beyond measure to meet the boy who lived and the brightest witch of her age. We have heard all about you two even in France. What has happened with you two does happen from time to time in France and I have witnessed it once myself so I do know what you are going through. If you need any advice or help my office on the third floor on the left hand side by the statue of Maude the Imposter shall always be open to you. I will now show you to your rooms please follow me! I was honoured to have been instructed to do this with you now although I think we all know why that was" she instructed as they gasped at her now seeing the wedding band on her finger. It would seem she too was part of a soul bond. At last someone would know how they felt what with it all happening so soon.
She lead them along the hall towards the dungeons and into what looked like a broom cupboard but wasn't. Once the door closed behind her the lights came on and she looked at them both. "The password to your rooms is Malaka. Once you enter here no one may follow you even under an invisibility cloak. I will now tap here with my wand and say the password after which a handle will appear which you are to hold at once!" she said doing so as the handle appeared which she grabbed with them after which they seemed to almost rocket at lightening speeds upwards until they came to a gentle stop. The door opened and they found themselves in a nice hallway. With what looked like a nice coat rack on the wall.
There were three doors on the wall opposite the coat rack. The closest one lead to a small study with a bookshelf full of various different books including some which should have been in the restricted section but which Dumbledore had placed here out of laziness one day. He had truly meant to return them to the restricted section but had forgotten and when he had remembered he'd been too busy to do it. Hermione would be in her element for sure. This room contained a large desk on which to do study or do homework, the bookshelves and a small couch on which to comfortably read those books. They were very impressed. They went into the next door which lead to a small storage closet which currently contained their trunks and clothing which was slowly putting itself away in the next room which they knew to be the bedroom.
They entered the bedroom to see a four poster double bed in the middle of the room and two doors leading off from here. One lead to a bathroom and the other lead to a small kitchenette. An elf popped in startling them all and apologised.
"I is sorry. I am Shelly and I will serve you meals in here whenever you want them and serve you in any way I can be doing it. Just be calling me and I be here fast. Goodnight!" she said leaving once more as they laughed at jumping in the first place. It was his assumption based on what Dobby had told him before that because she didn't work for a specific family who treated her incredibly well that her English sounded as it did. Obviously Hogwarts never abused it's elves but with so many of them such care couldn't be given to them all. They would change that for sure. Hermione might even want a personal elf of her own. The more Harry thought about that idea the more he liked it.
"Professor Dendani I need to ask you how you cope without your husband here by your side? I am sorry if this question is too personal but I really do have no one else to ask" Hermione said as Hannah looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"Well I told you I was here to answer all questions and I meant it. Never feel afraid to ask me anything bond related ok. I am not as stern as I appear. I must look this way to get respect from the students as you know. I am not alone in that regard. Each night my husband floos to me and spends the night with me and then he floos away to work in the mornings. Sometimes however his work schedule does prevent him from being able to come and see me at night and at times like this he remains in our home in France and we deal with it. A few nights apart does us no real harm any way. Is there anything you else you need to know or tell me?" she asked as Harry was the one to respond.
"Actually there is something you should know about. There is a ginger haired boy in our year called Ronald Weasley and we were best friends with him until he betrayed us last year. We are no longer friends and it is not something he has taken easily. He may try and engage us violently this year and I do hope not but if I am put in a position by him where I have no choice but to react I will do so. I am just forewarning you and I seriously hope he doesn't try anything funny because it will be bad for him if he does. He tried to attack us on the train and ended up using his accidental magic to vanish the bones in his own legs. He can be very stupid at times and although I now hate him for what he did to me I don't wish him to cause himself any harm either. Truth be told he broke my heart when things went south and I am just so lucky to have Hermione by my side. Ron can be a handful so please be careful as I wouldn't want him to hurt you or something" he said sincerely.
"You are too kind Harry. I hope you don't mind me calling you that in person when we're alone. You may call me Hannah in person when we're alone too. The same goes for you Hermione. I will only call you Mr Potter out there in the school area itself when it is required of me. I know many spells he doesn't and shouldn't he try anything, anything at all he will be most sorry. I have already been warned by my colleague Charles Weasley about his younger brother. Thank you for telling me about him none the less. I am sure with the positions you've been put in, in the past you feel the need to help everyone but now is the time to help yourself, focus on your education and have a wonderful time. I can see you are not on my class list for your year but I wish to offer my services as a tutor to you in any area you may need help at times throughout the week. I know how tough schooling can be and I wish to help you as much as possible" she said kindly.
Harry laughed at that. Charlie would have told everyone about Ron as fast as he could. He sure hoped he could trust Charlie as he really liked him having met him a few times at the Weasley household in the summers previous. He had been fascinated in the work he'd been doing with the Dragons and he knew Molly had always wanted her son to come home. "Thank you Hannah for your help. I will definitely take you up on that offer as there is something I wish to learn which Dumbledore didn't seem to think I needed. He actually seemed annoyed I'd learned of it at all wanting to know who had told me about it. I didn't bother to tell him I'd read of it in a book from the library. I want to know more about occlumency if you can tell me anything about it. Dumbledore often read my mind of that I am sure and I wish to be as prepared as I can in future!" he said as she gasped her hand flying to her mouth in shock.
"That is highly illegal and he should rot in jail for that. I would be willing to teach you about it but it dies take time. You will need to work on meditation and based on what you told me Hermione here will need to learn it also. I would suggest for your mindscapes that you choose something unexpected so for example if someone would assume your mind to resemble a kitchen we show them a library or if they expected a library we show them a quidditch pitch. With these things you can never be too predictable as that is how one is detected. I will test you both to see what your mindscapes look like now. One, two, three!" she called out casting the spell in Hermione's direction.
She was surrounded by lights as she slowly entered her mind and saw a very organised library there and by her own forbidden section she saw what resembled a dementor from what Hermione had read about them. She was very impressed but it was predictable and what people would be expecting. She next went into Harry's mind and saw a small cupboard underneath the stairs with various locks on it and a vicious dog outside it who was not good at protecting it well. He only looked vicious and did nothing of any actual harm to anyone. She emerged from them both looking at their waiting faces as they clearly wanted to know what she thought.
"Well Hermione while your mindscape is exceptionally well made and thought out I expected to find what I did. It was far too predictable. I mean I should look at you and think library and then get something totally different in your head as it will immediately throw me and give you enough time to kick me or someone else from your head. Your dementor was amazing and something I would recommend using in your new mindscape. Harry yours was very good but while your defence of the vicious dog looked vicious he actually did nothing vicious. So we really just need to work on changing your mindscape Hermione and improving yours Harry. Have a nice night and I will be in touch with times I can teach you this. Goodnight!" she said leaving as they thanked her and set off to see Madam Pomfrey. They thought about the floor they wished to go and it took them there which they were very happy about. This meeting would sure be interesting.
