Hello! Well I'm updating! Lol, thank you SO much too all the people that reviewed, I love you all! And I hope you all like this chapter! -

Chapter 4:

"First years! First years follow me please!" I heard Hagrids loud voice boom, I remember seeing him for the first time.

I saw all the littler ones scurry off towards the loud voice, I laughed to myself as the look at some of there faces, they told everything. Hagrid saw me as he waved, I smiled and waved back to him, all the first years looked up at him amazed.

"Come on Mines, let's go." Harry said as I looked at his bright green eyes, I always loved his eyes.

"Sure." I said as I nodded I started to follow Harry.

"Hermione!" I heard my name being called by someone, I could tell by the sound, it was a girl's voice; I turned around and looked at the girl I now knew it was Jasmine.

"Hi Jas'." I said as I smiled, then started walking up to her.

"So it is you." She said as she laughed, then ran up and hugged me.

"It's me." I replied getting my balance back as she let go of me.

"Come on Jasmine!" I heard Stacey call out to her in an irritated voice.

"I best be going now, Mione." She said to me in sort of a laugh.

"Okay then, I'll see you later." I said as I smiled at her.

"Yeah, see you!" She said as she waved goodbye to me, then ran after Stacey.

I saw them chattering to each other as I just stood there, just watching them; Stacey looked back at me and smirked.

"I love your look Hermione, we gotta talk sometime soon." She called out to me as I rolled my eyes.

They walked away over towards the stagecoaches that took us to the castle, I recon that the first years are the luckiest; they get to see the castle and everything around it by boat. I turned around as I saw Draco; I stopped suddenly before I would crash into him.

"You should really watch where you're going Granger." He said as he smirked at me, I felt all weird inside.

"I didn't crash into you, now did I genius." I replied as I rolled my eyes at him as I pulled a couple of lose strands of blonde and white hair and pushed it back behind my left ear.

"Whatever Granger, catch you later." He said as he walked past me towards his little Slytherin friends.

I turned around and watched him walk away; the weird feeling still wasn't gone. What was it, it couldn't be love…. Could it?

"Mione!" I heard Ron's squeaky voice, I could tell his voice even if six thousand people called my name at once.

"Yes?" I called back as I turned back around to see Harry and Ron with there arms folded.

"…What?" I asked as I slowly walked towards the two boys.

"Come on." Harry replied as he smiled at me, then turned around and continued walking.

I smiled back as I ran forward and linked my arm with my two bestfriends, I was thinking about many things like; what will happen after this year is over were Harry, Ron and I going to stay good friends? What was this feeling I had when ever I was around Draco? And what was I going to do once this year was over?

"I take it this is ours." Harry interrupted my thoughts as I looked at Harry.

I turned my gaze to looked up at the brown stagecoach; Harry and Ron's pace quicken up as they reached the coach, we unlinked arms as both boys stepped up three black stairs that led up to the door. Harry opened the brown door which had a black outline then went inside first, then Ron; I slowly followed them as I walked up the three steps and got in, turning around and closing the door behind me. As soon as the door shut the stagecoach started with a bump, I fell backwards onto the seat as I frowned.

"I really hate these things." I said as I looked at Harry who was next to me, then Ron who was in front of us

"They need to get things that are less bumpy." Ron agreed with me as the coach went up and down along the road towards Hogwarts.

"Well, it's the last time we have to ride them; so let's enjoy them." Harry said as he looked out one of the small windows at the side of the coach.

"Are we almost there?" I asked not wanting to think about how this would be the last time.

"Kinda." Harry replied as he looked back at me over his shoulder.

"Good." I said happily as I put on my black coloured, Gryffindor robe.

"By the way Mione', I like you're new looks." He as he smiled at me, me of corse I smiling back.

"Thanks Harry." I said with a slight laugh involved.

"Think you'll be head girl?" Ron asked as he looked at me.

I turned from Harry to Ron, and then nodded slowly; I was pretty confident that I would be head girl; I was more worried about how would be head boy.

"We're just about to go through the gates." Harry said as he looked back at Ron and me.

"…… Do you think…. There will be more of those… grim seekers… then just that one?" Ron asked changing the subject completely, reminding me of it.

"….There will be." I said as I took a deep breath and then stared down at the coach floor.

"You heard what Dumbledore said, they won't stop until the person they picked….. Is dead." Harry said as I looked over at him, slightly scared considering I was the one, one of the 'picked'.

"Mione?" Ron called out to me, as I looked up at him.

"What?" I asked as he looked just as worried as me.

"What do you know about these; grim seekers?" He squeaked as I thought for a minute.

"Nothing." I replied as both boys looked at me in slight shock I'm guessing.

"What?" I asked again raising and eyebrow at the two.

"Nothing…" Both boys said in unison as I sighed.

"Grim Seekers where thought to be extinct and only pray on pure bloods; well that's what they thought anyway." I explained to them as the coach came to a stop.

"We're here." I continued as I pushed the door open and jumped out of it before I said anything else.

I walked forward a bit as I looked at Hogwarts; it stood tall as a group of birds flew across the darkened sky, it was slightly cold as I pulled my black coloured robe closed and held it closed so no cold air could get in. Harry and Ron walked up behind me as I glanced back at them and smiled.

"We always arrive at night, the train takes forever." Ron said as I turned around fully to face them.

"Come on we better go to the great hall so Ron can eat everything in sight." I said as Harry laughed while Ron frowned; I turned back around and walked towards the Hogwarts entrance

I walked in through the big, thick brown entrance doors and as I entered Hogwarts. Lit candles were everywhere as I smiled; it felt like home to me. Harry and Ron stepped next to me as one of the ghosts past us waving.

"Welcome back seventh years!" He said happily before disappearing through the floor

"Seventh years, that's so cool." Ron grinned as I rolled my eyes at him, but then laughed with Harry.

"Come on." Harry said as he continued walking towards the great hall.

I looked at Ron as he turned and looked at me, he shrugged as I let out a small laugh and continued following Harry, leaving Ron behind, but he caught up soon enough. The four house animals sat up on their banner proudly as they sat next to each other all in their own colour; we walked up the large marble set of stairs to get to the great hall. Once we got closer we heard loud chattering coming from the giant hall, the pictures that hung among the gray stone walls giving us happy welcome backs as we past them.

We walked around one of the corners as we had just then entered the great hall; the tables where filling up as people from all different houses where chattering to each other. The large fire place to the right made the place very warm, I let go of my robe as it opened up a bit at the front; the roof was exactly like it was outside with its dark clouds that filled random parts of the sky, so beautiful.

"Hermione!" I heard Ginny's voice call out to me; I knew it was hers because she is usually calling out to me.

"Hello Ginny." I said as I walked over towards her with Harry and Ron following me.

"I heard that Dumbledore is going to have this massive talk about something called grim seekers, grim eaters …. Whatever the hell they are." Ginny said with a huge grin, she didn't have a clue.

"How do you know?" I asked as she put her hand to her chin and looked up at the roof, most likely thinking.

"My friends were telling me." She replied as I looked over and saw Harry and Ron already sitting down at the table.

"Thanks Ginny; but I really have to listen about the grim seekers." I said to her as I smiled.

"…Why?" She asked as she tilted her head to the side.

"….. They we're the things that attacked me Ginny." I replied as I rolled my eyes.

"Oh! Right, sorry Mione totally slipped my mind." She said as I let out a laugh.

"Predictable." I said turning around on my heels and walking towards Harry and Ron.

"What's that suppose to mean!" I heard Ginny squeal behind me as I laughed and turned back around to look at her.

"Oh nothing." I replied walking backwards as I looked at her shake her head.

"Mione look out!" She yelled as I turned around quickly, but not quickly enough.

I crashed into someone as I fell towards the ground, I closed my eyes and waited for a slight pain; but it didn't come, I slowly opened my eyes and saw no other then Draco Malfoy holding me around the waist, I looked at him as he looked at me.

"Why do you always just happen to be there?" I asked as I frowned at him.

He pulled me back onto my feet as he then let go of me, he smirked at me as I felt that feeling again.

"You're the one that is always falling over me." Draco replied as his smirk stayed on his face.

"But you are always just there!" I said as I put my hands on my hips.

"I'm sure you don't hate it that much Granger." He said back to me in a lower voice then what he was using before.

"You're so up yourself Malfoy." I replied as I smirked at him.

"No, I'm truthful." Draco replied as I rolled my eyes.

"Draco what are you doing sweetie?" A voice called out from behind Draco.

"Sweetie?" I asked attempting not to laugh.

"Shut up Granger, it's not as if I actually like this stupid chick." Draco sneered back as I continued to try and not laugh.

Draco turned around as I tilted slightly to the left of Draco to see a girl, Pansy Parkinsonto be exact. Her face reminded me of a pug, one of the fat ugly ones; pugs were cute, but not this one. Her short black hair was just blow her ears, as her dark brown eyes set on me as I stood back up straight and tried to ignore her.

"Don't call me sweetie..." Draco sneered again as he glared at Pansy.

"Oh please you love her and you know it." I said in a low voice to Draco as he turned around quickly and glared at me.

"Just saying." I shrugged as he bit his bottom lip and frowned.

"Please don't tell me you're talking to that filthy mud blood!" I heard Pansy yell as I glared at her.

"Go now Granger." Draco said as he looked at me.

"Huh?" I asked forgetting what Pansy had called me for that split second.

"Go!" He said a little louder as I looked at him for a minute, and then nodded; I quickly walked away, staying out of sight from Pansy.

I walked up to Harry and Ron as I sat down in between them; they both looked at me as I let out a deep breath.

"What was that all about?" Harry was the first to ask as I looked at him.

"Huh? Oh I crashed into Draco, that's all." I replied as I put my elbows on the table, and then rested my chin on my hands.

"You mean Malfoy." Ron said in an irritated voice, I could tell he was frowning.

"Same thing Ronald." I replied as I rolled my eyes.

Harry and Ron went back to their conversation as I looked around the great hall, it was just about full now with just enough seats left at the front of the tables for the first years; I looked over at the long, brown Slytherin table as I saw Draco with Pansy all over him, I rolled my eyes as I looked along the Slytherin table; they all looked so stuck up as if they were better then the rest of us. I saw Blaise Zabini, last year he use to tease me non-stop about being a muggle born witch, he would follow Draco around like a fly attracted to a bad smell. He looked over at me as he smirked and nodded his head as if he was approving of me, I frowned at him as I looked back at Draco; I couldn't take my eyes of him, I knew it then; I liked Draco Malfoy.

"Welcome back Hogwarts students!" A loud, strong voice boom filling the whole, entire room as it fell silent.

"It's a pleasure to have everyone back this year and of course our new students." Dumbledore started as he peered over his small, white glasses and looked at the little kids.

"We shall start tonight's little welcome back with the first years stepping up and trying their luck with our very own; sorting hat." I looked at the first years standing in a group at the front of the room; I could see some of them already had their 'groups'

Then professor McGonagall came to the front of the room; he hat tilted to the side slight, she held a cream coloured scroll in her hands; she pulled it opened as she looked down at it through her glasses.

"Seth Rinah!" Professor McGonagall called out the first person to come up to be sorted into their houses.

I watched the boy step up onto the front stage thing where all the teachers would eat and all; on the middle of the stage was a single light wooden stool with the sorting hat sitting atop it. Professor McGonagall walked over and picked up the old, brown hat as the boy sat up on the stool. She held the hat over his head as his brown droopy hair went a little over his eyes. McGonagall place the hat down onto his head as the hat started to move.

"Arrrr time for new students once again!" The hat spoke as the first years kind of jumped, I laughed lightly to myself as my head was rested on my left arm which was on the table.

"Hmmm HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat yelled loudly as Hufflepuff's table started to roar and cheer with claps, all the other tables just clap, besides Slytherin of course.

This went on for a while as I just sat there and clapped or cheered when I was suppose to; I looked over at Draco as he looked back at me and smirked, I quickly turned back to face the front of the room as the last person was standing by themselves waiting for their name to be called.

"Sabrina Nero!" Professor McGonagall called out as she looked down at the girl.

She stepped up onto the stage, then onto the light wooden stool; she sat down on it as professor McGonagall put the hat on her head.

"Last one, where to put you." The hat spoke as it looked around at the four tables, moving her head with it.

Everyone sat in silence as we waited for the old hat to make up its mind; I tapped my fingers on the long brown table quietly as I waited.

"SLYTHERIN!" It finally yelled as the Slytherin's jumped up and cheered as the girl made her way towards the table to sit down.

"Pure evil." Ron whispered to Harry and myself as we both laughed quietly.

"Yes, yes wonderful!" Dumbledore said as he walked to his stand that he always talked from, the one with the golden owl that's wings spared out to its length.

"Welcome new students; I hope our other students will make you feel at home. Now before we get onto some serious stuff I have to tell you all our head boy and girl." Dumbledore smiled as everyone clapped; please let it be me…

"Now first things are first; our head girl for Hogwarts this year is!" Dumbledore stopped for a minute as he looked around the room; I sat up straight and held my hands together under the table.

"Hermione Granger!" He yelled as the Gryffindor table stood up and clapped and cheered loudly as everyone else to cheer and clap, minus the Slytherin table.

I sat there as Harry and Ron smiled at me and patted me on the back while everyone else clapped; I was slightly shocked after two seconds I smiled.

"Come up here please Hermione." Dumbledore smiled at me as I got up off the wooden seats.

I walked up to where Dumbledore was standing with a big smile on his face; everyone was still clapping as I reached Dumbledore then turned around and looked at the rest of the school with a smile on my face as the Gryffindor table sat down, still clapping.

"Excellent, excellent!" Dumbledore said as the claps died down as he put his hands on the small table type thing on his stand.

"Now for our head boy to be called out to the front." Dumbledore smiled as he looked around the room, I took a deep breath as I waited patiently for him to call head boy.

"Draco Malfoy!" Dumbledore yelled as the Slytherin table got into a loud up roar; Oh my god, he said Draco.

I looked over at Draco as he smirked at me, he got up off the seat as he started walking towards the front of the room, I stared to him in slight disbelieve how the hell did he get to become head boy? He reached the top and stood next to me as Dumbledore smiled at the both of us.

"Your new head boy and girl!" He said loudly as he started clapping his hands.

Everyone else started cheering and clapping loudly as I looked at Draco, he looked back at me.

"How did you do it Draco?" I asked as he smirked at me.

"I don't know what you're talking about Hermione." Draco replied as he continued to smirk…. He had called me Hermione.

"You two may go back to your tables now, I have some serious information that all students must be aware of." Dumbledore said as he looked down at both of us.

I nodded as I started walking back to my table, Draco back to his; everyone else still cheering. I kept thinking about how Draco became head boy; I was slightly happy that he was even though I wasn't supposed to be. I got to the table as I sat back down on the dark brown seat; in between Harry and Ron, both of them congratulating me.

"Now to get down to the very serious things." Dumbledore said his voice now turning serious as everyone became quiet.

"I was called down to the platform nine and three quarters today, something I have never had to do before. One of our students was attacked by a foul beat and if it was for three boys this student would most likely be dead… These creatures are called grim seekers; they are dark evil creatures that were thought to have died off over a hundred years ago. They pick a victim, one per monster and then they hunt this person down until they are dead. They can play with more then just one persons mind and trick them into believing something bad or terrible is happening, when it really is not. They are worse then dementors and will attack anyone who tries to get in the way of them and their victim." Dumbledore looked around at everyone as he stopped as he looked back me, I looked back until I looked down at the wooden floor; everything in this room is wooden.

"Therefore I would like to award one hundred points to Mr. Harry Potter, Mr. Ronald Wesley and Mr. Draco Malfoy." Dumbledore announced as everyone started clapping for the three boys, I clapped as well; after all they were the ones that saved me.

"Be on your guard students; these monsters can not be tamed, they will do anything to get to that one person they picked out and I have a feeling many more will be picked, so please once you see one, warn everyone else. Now, let the feast begin!" Dumbledore yelled as he clapped his hands together twice as food appeared on the table, there was a noise of awe as the food appeared, and then everyone started to talk as the room was filled with chattering.

I looked at Harry and Ron as they started to dive in and grabbed the delicious smelling food as I let out a slight laugh.

"What's up Mione?" Harry asked as he looked at me.

"I now know why the train acted all weird." I replied as I put my elbows on the edge of the table as I rested my chin on them.

"Why?" Ron asked as he looked up with food in his mouth.

I shook my head as I looked at him. "The Grim seekers can trick people to believing that something else is happening when really its not; the train wasn't really doing all the stuff we thought it was doing, it was the grim seekers playing a trick." I explained as I felt myself looked back over to Draco.

"We can never have just a normal year, can we?" Harry asked as I watched Draco talk to Crabbe and Goyle I sighed as I just looked at him.

"Mione?Hermione are you listening to me?" Harry asked as Ron waved his hand in front of my face, I could tell by the food on his hands.

"Huh? What?" I asked as I looked at Ron.

"What are you doing?" Ron asked me as he raised an eyes-brow.

"Nothing, am I not aloud to do nothing?" I asked as I looked at him then at Harry.

"But you were staring at Malfoy." Ron said as he took another bite out of his chicken wing.

"I was not!" I protested as I glared at him.

"Yes you were." Harry said as I turned around and looked at him.

"How do you know that exactly?" I asked glaring at them both.

"We don't know that exactly…" Harry replied as he looked at me.

"Exactly." I replied as I frowned at him.

I sat there for a minute as I looked at some of the portraits around the room; I tapped my fingers on the table not exactly hungry after hearing about the grim seekers. I got up of the brown coloured chair as I stood up.

"Where are you going?" Ron asked as he looked back at me, food all over his mouth.

"I need to have a talk with your sister." I replied as I walked away from the two.

I walked down along the long, brown Gryffindor table as I spotted Ginny chattering with her little sixth year friends, I walked over to her and smiled, once she saw me she grinned.

"Have a good trip with lover boy?" She asked as my eyes widened.

"That's right, I was watching you. Then when you were just staring at him." Ginny grinned as I looked at her then sighed.

"Oh my god, you do like him don't you!" Ginny squealed as I grabbed onto her left arm and pulled her away from the table.

"That hurts…" Ginny continued as I let her go.

"Can you not say it so loud next time!" I asked as I glared at her.

"Oh, sorry." Ginny said as she laughed and rubbed the back of her neck with her right hand.

"But yes…. I think I do." I said to Ginny as her grin got wider.

"But you can't tell anyone." I said as I put my hands on my hips, her smile going into a frown.

"Why would I tell anyone?" Ginny asked as I thought for a minute.

"Good point." I said as I smiled at her.

"But still, you like Draco!" Ginny squealed as she grabbed onto my arms and jumped up and down.

"God damm it you are such an idiot." I said as I rolled my eyes then laughed.

"Well that's not nice." Ginny frowned as she continued to hold onto my arms.

"Students!" Dumbledore called out as everyone turned to look at him, including me and Ginny.

"It is time for prefects to lead the students back to their house common rooms, giving them the password and showing them around the room; students may not go wondering around until tomorrow. Head boy and girl please come to me, everyone else may leave." Dumbledore finished as everyone start to chatter again as they started to leave the great hall.

"Bye Mione." Ginny said as she hugged me.

"Bye Ginny." I replied as she let go and walked out the door.

I saw Harry and Ron walking towards the door as I ran up and hugged them both, they both hugged me back as I pulled away and smile at them.

"Now if Malfoy is mean to you well knock him one okay." Ron said as I laughed a bit.

"Have fun being head girl Mione." Harry smiled at me as I smiled back at him.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow okay." I said as I hugged them again.

"Okay Mione." Harry said as I let go of them both.

"I've got to go guys." I said as I walked past them waving.

"Okay; see you Mione." Ron said as they both waved back to me.

I turned around as I saw Dumbledore standing on the stage waiting for us, then I looked over to the Slytherin table and saw Draco smirking at me I rolled my eyes as I walked towards Dumbledore.

"Ahh, I will now show you both to your dorm now." He said as he got down off the raised platform and next to me.

"Come now Mr. Malfoy." Dumbledore called out as I looked over at Draco.

He got up off the seat as he walked over to us, Dumbledore continued walking in front of us as we followed him; I looked at Draco every now and again as he did the same, we walked up a set of stairs as I looked at the pictures, I had seen them before but it was always interesting to see what they were doing. We walked up another marble set of stairs as it started to move. I lost balance and almost fell, but regained it before I did; I looked at Draco as he was laughing at me. I frowned at him as the stairs stopped moving and Dumbledore continued walking. Draco and I followed him until he stopped in front of a black door with gold around the sides of it; on the front was a statue of a lion with a snake wrapped out its neck, both baring teeth; not to each other, but together.

"This is where your dorm will be located." Dumbledore said as he turned around and faced us.

"All your belongings are already inside and these are the passwords to the other four house dorms." He continued as he handed Draco a white piece of paper.

"Your password is Liothrin." Dumbledore said as the doors began to open.

"There you go, goodbye." Dumbledore turned and started to walk back the way he came.

"Bye Professor." I said as I heard Draco laugh.

"What the hell are you laughing at?" I asked as I turned around and looked at him.

"You're such a little nerd." He replied with a smirk on his face.

"Oh shut up Malfoy." I said as I walked into the room.

As soon as I stepped inside I was in awe, it was beautiful. The walls were light silver and the soft; red carpet went well with it. There was a fire place with two red, soft lounges in front of it; there was a kitchen to the right it was small but big enough to cook with. There was a bedroom to the left and one to the right facing each other and one bathroom almost in the middle and hanging on the wall was a Gryffindor and Slytherin banner. It was a beautiful room.

"So what do you think Granger?" Draco asked me as I turned around and looked at him.

"I'm still amazed at how you became head boy Malfoy." I replied as I smirked at him.

"Don't believe I go it by myself hey Granger." Draco half asked half said as he walked towards me.

"Hell no." I replied as I laughed and walked towards one of the room.

"Why not?" Draco asked as he walked over to one of the lounges and sat down on it.

"I just don't." I replied as I peered into one of the rooms.

The theme of the colours through at the place still went into the bedrooms; there was a huge double bed, a desk, chest of draws and a big mirror. I realized this was my room when I saw the brown suitcase on the bed with letters H.G imprinted on the side of it.

"That's not nice." Draco said as I turned around and looked at him, he was smirking at me.

"The truth hurts." I replied as he let out a laugh.

"So, those grim seekers are after you huh." Draco said as he got up of the red coloured lounge and walked over to me.

"Oh… yeah." I replied as I looked down at the ground; I had forgotten up until then.

"Don't worry Granger." Draco said as I looked up at him.

He mover closer to me as I attempted to move back slightly, but the wall was there.

"I'll save you." He whispered into my ear, I could just about feel his smirk.
