CHAPTER 7: THIS IS THE SLYTHERIN COMMON ROOM?

"I swear that if Malfoy does something like that again I'll hex him and throw his body into the Black lake!" she gritted her teeth and let another cry of exasperation fill the empty corridors. "If only Ginny was here…"

"Hey Jason! What's up man… Are you ok?"

"Hi Theo… yeah I guess I'm fine…" She said lifting her shoulder.

"Come on! You know you can trust me!" He looked at her, concern taking over his face.

"It's nothing… really… It's just Malfoy getting on my nerves, nothing I can't handle…"

"You know…" he thought for a moment "Everyone thinks Malfoy is hard to get along with, but that's not true at all. He's really a good friend."

"Yeah I bet he is…" thought Hermione rolling her eyes. "It doesn't seem that way…"

"You're new here but you've definitely heard about Draco's father…"

"Just a tad…" all the cruel things Lucius did to her and her friends flashed in her head, that man was someone she didn't like to think about.

"Well his father is a very powerful man and all he wants has to be done, Draco suffered a lot since he was a little boy trying to please his father, but anything he did was good enough for Lucius." He took a deep breath and continued, "I've known Draco all my life and I can understand why he's so cold to everyone... it's not his fault."

Hermione was shocked, she never thought Draco would be the kind of guy who wants someone's approval... Hearing Theo talking about Malfoy made her feel sadness in her heart; His childhood must have been awful, no one should go through that... no even Malfoy.

Hermione kept staring at her hands, when she turned to look at Theo he had a frown on his face and he was biting his lips so hard that she thought they were going to bleed in any second. "At least he has one true friend." no wonder she liked him.

"Don't judge him Jason, not now anyway... If you want to know the real Draco, you'll have to win his trust. That's everything to him" Theo's last words hit something in her. Since their first year in Hogwarts she only saw the evil and arrogant git Draco Malfoy was, maybe now that she was a slytherin, he'd open up...

She grimaced, remembering what happened earlier. She didn't start quite well, Malfoy already told her that he was going to keep an eye on her. That wasn't a good sign... so far, he didn't trust her.

"As Jason, I'm gonna do my best to get the real Malfoy out. He deserves a second chance I guess but it'll be a little hard to forget the way he always treated me…"

"Now now… don't put that face Jason, we better go to the great hall and grab something to eat…"

"But.. we have to shower and change…"

"I know… but the chicks go all nuts when they see us in quidditch robes"

"I'm sure of that…" she thought watching Theo up and down.

"But I'll definitely go shower" she didn't want the girls around her anymore… it really bothered her.

"No you're not…" Theo started pulling her "What kind of guy doesn't like female attention"

"The one who really isn't a guy!." Theo easily pulled her and led her off to the Great Hall.

"Well students, as you already know; there is a new student here at Hogwarts. All please greet Mr. Jason Sammuels."

Jason stood and nodded courtly trying to fight his burning cheeks; Dumbledore did what he was avoiding so far in the Great Hall, keep unnoticed. It took several minutes to calm everyone; the ones who didn't see him in the morning were now trying to take a look at him.

He hoped everything would be ok by the end of the week and dropped into the chair, his hands covering his face.

When dinner was over Hermione followed the rest of her new housemates.

The creepy painting that welcomed the slytherings to their common room, sent chills trhough her body and the hair on her neck bristled.

As she stepped in, she gasped. It didn't look like the Gryffindor at all; beside the house colors, the slytherins had definitely more elegant furniture and the fireplace was bigger than she would have imagined. It was decorated with beautiful paintings unlike the one outside and the antique chandelier hung magically from the ceiling, was spectacular.

Hermione went to the dorms while Theo sat on the couch and chatted with his friends. When she found her room she was relieved to see that the beds were in a considerate distance. She dropped in her new bed and felt the soft sheets under her. "Uhm… this damn slytherins have better things! I'm not superficial at all but this is so unfair! I mean... silk sheets? You've got to be kidding me! Even the rooms are bigger and they only have to share it with one person!"

Theo entered the room and walked to his bed. "Theo?"

"Uhmm?"

"Well… How come the Slytherin dorms and common room are better than the Gryffindor's?" Hermione asked quite pissed.

Theo raised an eyebrow and stared at her for a while. "And what do you know about the Gryffindorks common room?"

I gulped and looked at a spot in the ceiling not moving my eyes.

"W… Well.. I have a friend there and she showed me a picture from it." I have to be more careful... or else I won't last long in here...

His face relaxed and bent to untie his shoes. "I'm quiet amused by the fact that you have a friend there… but leaving that aside, you should have seen this place when we came in here for the first time, it didn't have the standarts we were used to... so our parents talked to Dumblerdore."

"Did Dumbledore agree with this?"

"He refused to it but after nagging him for a looong time, he finally let us make some changes. All you see now is Draco, Blaise and I doings; the other slytherings provided money too."

"No wonder it looks like this, I didn't like the way Theo talked about money as if it was nothing but it must be cause he has always had it." I sighed.

When I turned to admire the room again I blushed at the sight of Theo wearing no more than his boxers and a towell on his left shoulder. He had an athletic body and the way his hair fell covering part of his eyes made her stomach cringed. "Wh…What do you think you're doing!" I blurted covering my eyes.

Theo yelped in surprise at Jason's scream. "You scared the hell out of me!" He said lowering his wand and leaving it on the nightstand again; Hermione didn't dare to open her eyes.

"I'm just going to take a shower!" Theo cursed under his breath and closed the bathroom's door behind him. It was only until she heard the water running that she opened her eyes.

"How on earth am I going to sleep having Theo just a few inches away!", she thought. "Not that I'm going to do anything… but… I've never shared a room with a boy!"

"My parents would definitely kill me if they knew" she rolled countless times in her bed.

"What have I gotten myself into…?" she mumbled into her pillow and fell asleep still in her quidditch robes.

A/N: Don't forget to REVIEW this chap! thank you :)
