Here's another chapter. :)

Chapter 5: Comments and Criticism: Prt2

Once the sorting was done Dumbledore had stood up and made his speech about the new year. And when he started to talk about the new Defense against the Dark Arts Teacher, the doors of the Great Hall opened.

In walked a woman about 5'4, with shiny long black hair that came to the middle of her back, her skin was a bit on the pale side and her eyes seemed to be black with what looked like specks of silver. She wore black and red dress robes and smiled a beautiful smile, for she was a beautiful woman. She looked as if she were in her twenties and walked as if she were a muggle model.

Dumbledore smiled and stood up leaving his seat and walking towards the strange woman, that none of the students seemed to know.

"Albus," she said as they hugged, "I'm sorry I'm late."

"Oh, don't be my dear," he said, "To me your right on time."

The woman looked across Dumbledore and saw the shock stricken face of her brother. She smirked and let out a small laugh, "It look as though someone didn't know I was coming." She said and Dumbledore laughed when he saw who she was talking about.

Walking up to the front of the Head table and turning towards the students, Dumbledore smiled and announced, "This here is Kaytrina Snape." Kaytrina's said surname made gasps and whispers break out through the Great Hall. "She will be your new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor."

With that said, Dumbledore showed Kaytrina to her seat and then sat down himself. With a wave of his hand, food appeared and the feast began. Many students were still shocked that another Snape was going to be teaching them, but more were wondering how they were related.

Snape looked to his left at his baby sister taking a bite out of some mashed potatoes and talking to Professor Trelawney. He hadn't seen her in nine years. He had thought she married and left of to America, but with Dumbledore presenting her as a Snape, he knew now that wasn't the reason she had left home.

At the Slytherin table, Hermione was shocked yet again. "I wonder how there related." she said to herself, but all of the Slytherins looked at her as if she were a baby that just said it's first word. Pansy Parkinson gave her a glare, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle looked at her as if she were the one stupid, Blaize Zabini just gave her a quick glance and then looked away, and Draco Malfoy just started at her. "They're brother and sister." Malfoy told her.

"How did you know that?" Hermione asked

"Snape's my godfather." He said without hesitation.

This was big news to Hermione. 'No wonder Snape was always nice to Malfoy.' She thought and went on to eating her meal. Looking at Malfoy every now and then.

When the feast was over and done with; Dumbledore announced for the Head Boy and Girl to meet him at the entrance of the Great Hall, once everyone was gone.

Draco and Hermione now stood in the Great Hall entrance, awaiting there Headmaster. Hermione was fidgeting with her fingers behind her back and Draco was looking at anything except Hermione.

Suddenly the Headmaster came and said, "Follow me." They walked up a couple flights of stairs, down some unknown corridors and they now faced a large portrait that had Faux (Dumbledore's Phoenix), perched up on a stool and a snake slithering up one of the legs of the stool. "Red Scales" was heard from Dumbledore's mouth and the portrait swung open.

Draco and Hermione looked at each other, before following their Headmaster inside. Walking into the Head Boy and Girl Common Room, Hermione gasped in aw and Draco just went wide eyed.

Green and silver covered everything, with some small splashes of red. There was a couch that was green with silver pillows in front of the huge marble fire place, two comfy looking chair; one red and one green with silver pillows on both. Red, green and silver candles were spotted in every corner, a good sized table was placed off to the side; big enough for them both to do their homework on, and green and silver drapes were along the windows.

"Your clothes and such are in your rooms." Dumbledore said, "Ms. Granger your room is up the stairs and to the left and Mr. Malfoy yours is up the stairs and to the right." He stated the twinkle in his eye gleaming. "I shall be off." He told them and left out of the portrait.

Hermione squealed and ran up the stairs and to the left to her rooms. Malfoy smirk and went to look at what the door, next to the stairs, led to. And to his surprise it was a small kitchen.

Draco went and opened up the refrigerator grabbing himself a butterbeer and heading back towards the common area. He plopped down on the green chair and opened up the bottle taking a swig, before he heard Hermione coming.

"Oh, my gods, have you seen your room?" She asked and Draco shook his head, "Mine, has a four-poster bed with silver bed linens and a red chair in the corner. The room is huge and has a huge bathroom that joins into your bedroom." Hermione didn't know why she was telling him. Sure he had helped her out and sure she was know in Slytherin, but that didn't mean he would start being nice to her, did it?

Draco started to cough up some of the butterbeer he had swallowed, "We share a bathroom!" He exclaimed

Hermione was still to exited to be put down by Draco and his exclamation. "Yes." She said, "And it has this huge tub, maybe even bigger than the one in the prefects bathroom." She said with a smile plastered on her face. "And the shower. Don't even get me started about that. It gigantic! I mean the whole of Slytherin and Gryffindor could probably fit into it." She said which caused Draco to raise an eyebrow. "Ok, maybe not Gryffindor, but I'm pretty sure all of Slytherin could fit."

Draco smirked, "If you say so."

Draco took another swig of his butterbeer as Hermione kept on talking. He just stared at her, not really sure as to why she was telling him all this. But, as he stared he started thinking, 'Damn she's beautiful.' Draco shook his head, 'No she's not. Yes, she is. No, no she's not.' Draco kept fighting with himself about if Granger was beautiful or not and in the end, 'Bloody hell, she's beautiful.' He thought and looked her up from head to toe. 'She sure did grow out of that bushy hair and she's formed up in all the right places. But, she HATES you! Remember that.' Draco sighed and stood up walking into his rooms.

Hermione watched as he left, while she was talking to him, 'Why'd I even try talking to him?' She thought and walked to her rooms.

Draco walked into his room and saw that he too had a four-poster bed, but with black linens, he also had a chair in the corner, but it was green instead of red. Draco got a quick look of the bathroom and Hermione was right; all of Slytherin and Gryffindor could fit in that shower.

Stripping from his clothes down to his boxers, Draco got into bed and fell straight to sleep. Unaware of what his dreams were to become of.
