Life in Slytherin

Hermione lay there on her green bed. Thinking about what crazy adventure's there were going to be in her last year at Hogwarts. Normally she wouldn't care; she would just go with it. But this time things were different, she wasn't part of the golden trio anymore, Ginny had pretty much taken her place. They had only spent two days at Hogwarts and her life was already upside down.

She was in Slytherin! She was in the serpent gang. Her new best friends were Pansy Parkinson and Draco Malfoy the prince of Slytherin and all this made her the princess of Slytherin but the strangest part was she didn't care. Hermione didn't care she was in Slytherin, she didn't care she sat on Draco's lap at every meal, She didn't care all Gryffindor's practically hated her even Harry and Ginny not to mention Ron!

Because the thing is, when she was in the golden trio nobody noticed her. They took her for granted Harry and Ron would fight all the evil but, she would make all the discoveries she was the reason they always won, and did they ever thank her? No!

To her, Harry and Ron it seemed like there was a daring adventure ever year that comes to them. But she was tired of these adventures. She just wanted to be like everyone else in the school, even though she knew that was never going to happen because she was friends with the one and only Harry Potter.

But that can change now! I can go shopping with Pansy, I can hang around with Draco and if I spend the day reading they won't bug me about it, because they like to read to. This is the start of my new life I should enjoy it! But I still want to be friends with them I mean they've been my best friends for six years.

Hermione pushed thoughts of Harry, Ron, Ginny and the Gryffindor's out of her head and decided to read a book, one she hadn't read yet. This was hard considering that she didn't go and buy any new books because she was resting after that thing with Ron.

Hermione looked under her bed and pulled out her trunk trying not to wake Draco, who was in the next room. She found a book she had not read at all. On the cover there was a drawing of a rose. Hermione opened the book and saw that it was a diary. So she decided to read it:

This diary belongs to Phoebe Halliwell

"Wow... I forgot I even had this diary," Hermione whispered to herself

August 11th...

Dear Diary,

Today I was accepted to Hogwarts, the same place Piper goes, she's a second year, and she told me she'd watch my back. Not that I need it. Anyway their not witches you read about in stories with warts and green skin (Eeewwww.) I didn't think I'd get in my powers aren't as developed as Pipers are, even Paige has more control and she's six, Can you believe it? I got to go shopping today for my new school stuff. Hopefully I will make loads of friends at this new school. Oh, and the school's named Dad the headmaster. I still cannot believe it. Well I'll keep you posted on all the people I meet, the friends I get and the adventures I have.

September 1st...

Dear Diary,

We have to take a train to Hogwarts. Looks like only Piper and I will be going Paige is still too young. We won't be able to see Paige until winter break. My ticket says the train is on platform 9 ¾. Who has ever heard of platform 9 ¾? Well, we are parking so I guess I'll continue to write on the train...

Okay I am on the train looking out my widow of the compartment I am sitting in, Pipers with me but, she's talking to this busybody redhead who's really annoying, I think her names Molly or something. She keeps telling me to relax not to be nervous. And doesn't believe me when I say I'm fine. I might be 11 but I'm not scared. There is this really cute blond boy walking around. He looks so popular, and he has these two big cute looking guys following him. Piper seems interested in one.

Oh we're here I guess I'll write later...

Dear Diary,

Last night I totally fell asleep, after the sorting and eating, not to mention the party welcoming us. Oh I'm not in the same house as Piper she's in Gryffindor; I've been placed in Slytherin with that really cute guy! But he doesn't seem interested in me; I'm only a year younger! I'll make him like me if it the last thing I do

Hermione couldn't carry on reading. She fell asleep happy and consoled that her mother was pretty much like her.

Hermione woke up with the sound of her alarm clock going off. She got up out of her bed, with a yawn. Slowly Hermione walked out of her room to go find the bathroom. She hadn't' looked around yesterday she was too tired.

She opened two doors before stopping in front of a golden one. She went over to it and opened it. She found-the bathroom.

It was a big bathroom that looked like a hallway with two sinks and two mirrors. It had two doors way in the back. She opened the green door and found another huge room which had a toilet, shower, and a bathing spa, and of course, it had green towels.

Hermione walked inside the green door and took a shower. Draco woke up at the time he always does... five minutes after Hermione. He got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Since he already looked around the Head common room he knew where everything was. Once he heard water running he turned back.

Hermione got out of the shower, and started walking back to her room with a towel wrapped around her.

"Mia you really shouldn't walk around like that, you'll give me the wrong impression." Draco said coming out of his room.

"Oh-you're right I wouldn't want to do that." Hermione said rolling her eyes then walked away.

She got dressed, and then walked back to the bathroom hallway to do her hair. As she walked into the bathroom Draco walked out of the green door with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Careful wouldn't want to give me the wrong impression." Hermione laughed and it was Draco's turn to roll his eyes.

I love not having to straighten my hair, Hermione said to herself then walked out of the bathroom hallway and waited for Draco so they could walk down to the Great Hall for breakfast together.

When she entered the Great Hall she saw Harry and Ginny, but no Ron. Which she was thankful for, she did not want to see him right now. Draco and Hermione made their way over to Pansy and Blaise. She sat down next to Pansy and said, "Hello Blaise, Pansy."

"Hello Mya. Sleep well?" said Blaise. "Yes very." Hermione replied. "Oh really why would that be?" Pansy asked smiling when she saw Draco's reaction. "Pansy! It's nothing like that, I found out last night my mother was in Slytherin."

"Well that's good but, not as interesting as what Pansy was thinking." Blaise said. "Shut it Zabini!" Draco said over his glass.

Draco and Hermione walked out of the Great Hall. They were laughing about a joke that Draco heard. They turned a corner and Hermione ran into Harry and Draco ran into Ron.

"What are you doing here?" Ron said when he saw who he ran into.

"It's a hall way Weasley. It's where people walk."

Harry saw who he ran into was about to walk away when Hermione said,

"We may not be friends Harry Potter, but it is still polite to help the person you pushed." Hermione said angrily. Looking at Harry straight in the eye and trying not to notice the hurt in his eyes, for some reason she still hoped that they would still be friends. She added, "Or you could be an asshole and look down." Hermione and Harry kept staring at each other, Hermione giving Harry an evil look and picking herself up from the floor.

"Bloody hell, Malfoy is you still wearing your Halloween mask?" Ron insulted Draco. "Get lost weasel, I'm in no mood to hear your pitiful attempts to insult me."

"Ron lets just go." Harry said. Both Harry and Ron walked away Ron was cursing under his breath as they went.

Draco looked down at her, "Hermione?" Draco asked.

"I am okay. Don't worry." Seeing his concerned face she added,

"Come on. Let's go or we'll be late for potions. I bet I can get there first."

"You're on. We'll race from here to the dungeons and who ever gets through the door first wins."

"Okay. On your marks, get set..." Hermione took off running.

"Hey get back here cheater!" Draco yelled as he took off after. Draco soon caught up with Hermione. He looked over and saw her smiling. She jumped nearly all the stairs that came into view. He raced in after her. He was right behind her when they where at the bottom of the stairs. Hermione was the first one to reach the stairs that lead to the dungeons. "Took you long enough, my clothes were going out of style." She said as he reached her.

Hermione started running again, this time Draco reached her, pushing her. They both stumbled and fell into the classroom; Hermione opened her eyes and noticed Draco was straddling her. She smiled at him, a smile that faded when she saw Harry and Ron glaring daggers at them.

"Mr. Malfoy, if you don't mind, I am trying to teach. Remove yourself from Miss. Halliwell now." Snape shouted at him from across the room.

"I don't know professor I kind of like it here."

"Draco!" Hermione said shocked at his rudeness towards Snape.

"Perhaps you would like detention too?" Snape smirked as Draco removed himself and helped Hermione up.

"Well, well, well maybe it was what I thought." Pansy whispered into Hermione's ear causing her to blush.

"It's not like that." She said, "I don't think." Hermione whispered to herself.
