A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for all your support and I hope you like this chapter. I know it's pretty short. Let me know what you think!
The first year students had to be placed by the teachers, because only some of them were aware of their magical heritage. Draco, having grown up with both of his parents being veela, was aware of where he was to go. Hermione, on the other hand had her magical blood passed down from her great-grandparents whom were a witch and a veela.
Minerva McGonagall was the head of the Wizard house and in charge of the sorting of the incoming students. Her colleagues and fellow heads were Severus Snape, head of Enchanters, Filius Flitwick, head of Elves, and Xenophilius Lovegood, head of Veela.
All of the first years were seated at one table in order to encourage cooperation between the four houses. After dinner had been served and quickly inhaled, Professor McGonagall cast the spell that would identify each students' blood and place them in the corresponding houses.
As each student was identified, a colored symbol would appear above their heads that corresponded to the colors and crest of the different houses. Wizards had a blue symbol of two crossed wands. Enchanters had a red book. Elves had a green tree, and Veela had a pair of yellow wings.
All around Hermione and Draco, new students were receiving their house assignments. Hermione was placed with the wizards and witches like her grandparents, while Draco was given a pair of wings putting him in the Veela house. Both were disappointed that they weren't in the same house, but they would still see each other in some classes, during meals, and after classes were over. Everyone went to sit with the rest of their houses. Their heads then directed everyone to say their goodbyes and head to their dorms.
Each house had its own separate dorm that was built to each houses required needs. Veela and the wizards lived in the two towers on opposite sides of the castle. The elves lived in the east wing, and the enchanters lived in the dungeons.
All of the dorms were designed fairly similarly and were separated into girls and boys dorms which were connected by a common room where students spent a large portion of their free time. Each common room had two walls covered in books pertaining to the residents' blood and heritage in order to provide any extra information for personal and academic purposes.
Hermione arrived in her common room to find blue walls with brown and gold furniture with a huge fireplace in the middle of the room to heat the entire tower. The girls' dorms were off to the left of the room. She shared a room with four other first year girls, Ginny Weasley, Lavender Brown, and Padma and Parvati Patil. Her bed was closest to the window and her trunk was already at the bottom of her bed.
Draco walked through the portrait into a grand room with gold and silver walls. All of the furniture was a well-worn looking black with students sprawled about the room getting ready for the upcoming year. His dorms were off to the right. He was only sharing with three other boys, but he wasn't feeling up to making friends right this moment. As Draco closed his curtains, Harry Potter, Blaise Zabini, and Theodore Nott walked into the room conversing loudly about their favorite quidditch teams.
Everyone fell asleep that night very late because excitement kept anyone from getting to sleep early. Tomorrow was the first day of classes and the beginning of a brand new chapter of Hermione and Draco's life.
