AN: I DO NOT OWN ANY THING HARRY POTTER :)
"Ron we must have just interrupted her. We shouldn't take it out of context."
"You're not as dumb as you look Weaselette. No hope for the Weasel though. Hahaha…"
"Um… thanks I guess Zambini."
Hermione was about to explain when another intrusion came from none other than their new Headmistress McGonagall. The headmistress eyed the teens up and huffed then she made notion for the six standing to sit.
"You eight, will be very close this year. I promise you that. The two Heads Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy will have their own dormitory. Which you all know, but you six are as observed in the past are their best friends so they will choose one friend each to stay with them also. If the Head is to pick the opposite sex to stay with them they will have to share the other heads dorm room. Ok Miss Granger if you would be so kind to pick the friend you want to have stay."
"Ginny! Of course!"
The two girls shrieked in excitement. After they had that few seconds of girly giggles McGonagall intervened again.
"Okay Mr. Malfoy?"
"Blaise… I pick him professor."
"Alright then Miss Weasley and Mr. Zambini your things will be escorted to the heads dorm along with the heads belongings. Now you four not being picked may leave and go back to the compartment you have come from for the rest of your journey."
Harry, Ron, Pansy and Goyle all left the compartment. McGonagall shut the door behind them then turned back to the little group.
"Now, if this wasn't important you'd picked now I would have waited to see you at school, but I need to talk to the four of you about this arrangement. Now this is the first time we are letting a friend in with the Heads. This being because the war just ended and we need to bring a new start to the school. Next no other student must go into your dorm. I understand the reputation some of you have and I don't want another Susan Bones case. I think that is all I needed to say. I will see you back at the school."
McGonagall then disappeared from the compartment. Hermione then looked up confused. She indeed liked the rules, but she hadn't known something happened to Susan.
"Granger, what got your wand in a twist?"
"Oh… I was uh… just wondering what happened to Susan."
The two Slytherin boys looked at each other and started laughing. Ginny stared at them too, she not being as naive as Hermione knew something happened, just didn't know what. Blaise then calmed down and placed a hand on Hermione's knee.
"Granger, some seventh year knocked her up a couple of years ago. Didn't you even notice her gone in sixth year?"
"Knocked up…. You mean she's a mother now?"
"Right again, Weaselette. Wait. It could still happen… you know the occurrence of another female getting pregnant."
"Blaise who other than that git would get a girl pregnant that is still in school?"
"Malfoy. I could think of a few."
"Granger, you don't seem surprised at this news. You must know a few real gits too."
"I'd say she does. Oh look time flies. We seem to have arrived and none of us are changed."
"You two can change here…"
"And are you two going to change?"
"Of course, Granger. Just we will go into the bathroom down the hall."
Hermione looked at Ginny and she knew she was thinking the same thing. Ginny of course knew that Hermione wouldn't say what they were thinking so she just clearly blurted it out.
"Why don't you just change with us?"
"Um… Weaselette… I don't know if that is completely allowed… and plus you don't want rumors around the first day. Trust me and Drake on that one. You girls think you're so smart. Hahaha."
Draco gave one of his signature smirks to Hermione and left behind Blaise. Ginny pulls the blinds and locks the compartment door. She turns and then questions Hermione while getting their robes on.
"So, where were you this mourning? You weren't on the signature bench?"
"Um… Gin it's along story. Plus it's really kind of boring."
"It has something to do with the certain eye candy in Slytherin. Doesn't it? "
"Umm…."
"Oh my! Hermione are you and Draco…."
"NO!"
"Okay, but what really happened?"
"If I tell you, you have to promise not to get the wrong idea okay."
"Why would I do that?"
"Trust me Gin. You have to promise."
"I promise."
"Well, I was sitting on the bench. When I heard my last name being called from behind me, so naturally I turned getting ready for some type of blow to my esteem, but Draco needed my help. I don't know why I helped him, but I did. Now I am stuck with these questions that are even to hard for me to answer."
"So you helped Draco with?"
Hermione shook her head wonder. She caught her self smiling at the memory before she had realized it Ginny was hugging her so tight that Hermione thought her insides would come out. They had been dressed for about five minutes and Ginny now knew everything that happened before she had walked into that compartment that mourning. A knock came at the door. Hermione walked over and let the two boys back in to get their travel bags and the four walked out of the train and went to the wagons with there friends.
"Ginny. What are you doing?"
"Oh sorry, Harry. I was just quickly scribbling down some rules that Mione and I have come up with for something. Not really important. Why do you ask?"
"No reason. It's just your usually the talkative one and you seem different from the time we left you with Mione this morning."
Hermione and Ginny both knew that they were being set up for information. They just looked at each other and laughed. At that point Harry was smiling at them.
"You see, that's what I'm talking about. Did something happen?"
"It is really none of your business Harry… Plus Gin and I are best friends."
"Oh I see girl talk… well… here we are good old Hogwarts."
The two girls were off the wagon and down the path before Harry even finished his sentence. When going to the Great Hall they bumped into Lavender Brown and Luna Lovegood. Ginny and Hermione immediately said sorry and continued to there seat at the Gryffindor table. Just as the dinner was about over; Ron had asked the question of a lifetime.
"Hermione, you aren't getting married are you?"
