AUTHORS NOTE: Hey, sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been in hospital after an operation because of burst appendix so not really updated in a while but I'm back.
REVIEW REPLIES:
toavoidconversation - Thank you so much for reviewing. I haven't had time to read the story you suggested of yours yet but I will. It's waiting for me on my Bookmarks Bar. I'm just working on using grammar that fits with the type of language used with IM and emailing rather than letters as it's used more and more. I am going to improve my grammar in some places though.
Read. Enjoy. Review.
:)
Private Discussion [Harry] [Hermione]
Harry: Ron said to tell you he "can't believe that slimy ferret got the position of Head Boy and you have to live with him for a year".
Hermione: Why is Ronald not telling me this himself on his own Login?
Harry: Hahahahahahaha. He doesn't know how to use them. He's waiting for the first class tomorrow with Ackerman.
Hermione: Oh, I don't know. He's not even spoken to me yet. We were led down to our new quarters after dinner, which by the way are absolutely amazing! We have our own kitchen and sofas and separate bedrooms but shared bathroom and it's all so extravagant. AND there's a whole wall dedicated to thousands of portraits of previous Head Boys and Girls. Harry, your parents are down here. You'll have to come see tomorrow. They look amazing! You look just like your father.
Harry: ...But with my Mother's eyes. Yes, Hermione, I know. Now back to Malfoy.
Hermione: Oh yeah! We were shown to our quarters and he suggested the password surprisingly and then when we walked through, he stood there looking nonchalant while McGonagall spoke to us about rules and duties and then went straight up to his room. Didn't speak a word to me. I'm quite glad actually. It gave me a chance to explore on my own without interruptions.
Harry: Ron said you shouldn't trust him and you should find a way of putting security on his room so you know whether he's doing something wrong and ask Filch to put a lot of locks on the bathroom door so he doesn't see you naked. I think he's just overreacting.
Hermione: As per usual. I'm going now anyway. Was too excited to eat at dinner so going to whip something up in MY VERY OWN KITCHEN! Oh, and tell Ronald: MALFOY WILL NOT BE SEEING ME NAKED. . Bye.

Private Discussion [Draco] [Blaise]
Draco: Blaise?
Draco: Blaise, are you there mate?
Draco: ...
Blaise: Yeah, hi.
Draco: What took you so long?
Blaise: I just entered about 3 different conversations by accident before this one. One funny one between Cormac McLaggen and Cho Chang. Will that boy ever learn how to actually pull a girl? One disgusting one between Millicent and Goyle. (Feel a bit sick actually...) And one rather interesting one between Lavender Brown, Mandy Brocklehurst and Parvati Patil. Apparently, you have a new nickname ;).
Draco: Go on... Humour me.
Blaise: Slytherin Sex God.
Draco: Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
Blaise: I never even knew you'd been near any of them.
Draco: Did Mandy Brocklehurst in Snape's office last year. Was quite good actually. She's good with her hands.
Blaise: Well done, Drake mate.
Draco: Not that proud, I've had better. She was a bit clingy afterward but after that whole fiasco with Pansy in the Great Hall when she launched herself at me, she hasn't really spoke to me.
Blaise: Oh yeah, fuck me. I remember that. Anyway, how's Granger?
Draco: Not really spoke to her. I let McGonagall chat on for a bit and then came up to my room.
Blaise: She is pretty hot though.
Draco: Is that a joke? She's Potter's best mate. Automatic enemy.
Blaise: Oh, so that's it is it? Although you have to live with her for a year, you're just going to continue arguing with her. Clever. Mature.
Draco: No. I just don't want to acknowledge the fact that you think she's hot. If you're so desperate, why don't you ask her out?
Blaise: Maybe I will.

From: Ginny
To: Hermione
Subject: First Week!
OMG Hermione! As if the first week's over. It doesn't even feel like it's been a day. How's the overload of classes going? Exactly what do you want to be after graduation that requires so many NEWT's. Anyway, thanks again for the advice with Harry. Things are better than ever and I really feel like its going to last longer than everyone else. I have been in love with him for like my whole life though so... ;). Anyway, reply back soon. I'm withering away here all alone in Gryffindor Common Room. May chance a visit to your fancy one.
Byeeeeeeeeeeee
Ginny.
Private Discussion [Hermione] [Ginny]
Hermione: Hey. Was just going to reply back and spotted you online. My first week has been fine. How's yours been?
Ginny: Hey. Yeah, it's been fine. All my classes are fine.
Hermione: Good, and Ginny, you're welcome here any time you know?
Ginny: Yeah, I know. And just so you know, if you need me for anything at any time then you know where I am. ;)
Hermione: Well...
Ginny: There is something isn't there? Oh, how exciting! Spill!
Hermione: I have more of my lessons now with the Slytherin's and I've noticed some looks of a certain Slytherin.
Ginny: Who?
Hermione: Blaise Zabini.
Ginny: Malfoy's friend, Blaise Zabini?
Hermione: Yeah. He's in every single one of my classes and he just stares at me and smiles when he notices I'm looking.
Ginny: Ok Hermione, number one... I had no idea that anyone in the world took as many classes as you do. And number two... he's pretty hot.
Hermione: Ginny! This is not what I'm talking about? I just want to know why I'm so interesting that he has to lose focus on his lessons!
Ginny: Oh, I don't know Hermione. Maybe it's something to do with the fact that you're absolutely gorgeous!
Hermione: Oh, shut up Ginny!
Ginny: It's true. Just because you don't flaunt everything you have like certain sluts I know, e.g. Pansy Parkinson, doesn't mean you aren't beautiful. You're just effortless. I'm jealous of the fact that I have to prepare everything about me to make sure Harry notices me and you just drift at your own pace and still manage to look stunning.
Hermione: Ginny, I'm serious. Don't you think if I was as beautiful as you claim, that I'd have had Hogsmeade offers by now.
Ginny: No! Because all teenage boys want is sex. And they know that you mean loads more than that. They know that if they wanted to pursue you, they'd have to be more serious and mature.
Hermione: Ginny, not to be funny or anything but your sounding more and more like I'm some massive prude who boys don't go for cause they know I won't put out at the drop of a hat.
Ginny: Well, Hermione. I have heard one or two people call you Ice Queen.
Hermione: Oh thanks a lot, Gin!
Ginny: But maybe, if you just flaunted you assets a bit more then people would be more open to the idea of dating you. I can help you and we can have a makeover day.
Hermione: Don't bother! I'll do it myself. I don't need your help!

Private Discussion [Blaise] [Draco]
Blaise: Wooooo! Was I right? Have you seen Granger this past week? Bloody hell. Something's gone on over this past weekend. She looks fucking stunning! I swear I spotted some green frenchies today under that delicious skirt. She went in on Friday looking hot and came out on Monday morning looking amazing! D'ya know what, I think I'm going to ask her to Hogsmeade.
Draco: Blaise, we've only been in school for 2 week. Hogsmeade is another 5 week off.
Blaise: Oh, you're right. Well, I'll just have to arrange something on grounds, won't I? I am not passing up this opportunity mate.
Draco: You go do that.
Draco has logged off.
Blaise: Ooooo, what's up your arse?
Hey Blaise,
I know we don't usually speak much but I've noticed we have all the same classes together which I can't really say about many other people. Actually, I can't really say that about anyone else. I was wondering if you'd like to do something in the week. Together.
Thanks,
Hermione.
Draco, Hermione's just sent me a letter across the classroom. SHE'S just asked ME out. A woman after my own heart.
Blaise, can't you see I'm working on my potion. Can't we talk about this after?
Here I am, telling you the most exciting thing since I cracked Daphne Greengrass and you can't even act a bit happy.
It just doesn't seem that important. I mean, it's only Granger. You know? Ice Queen!
Sure doesn't look like no Ice Queen to me.
Blaise, please.
Should I reply? Should I say yes? Or no?
No.
NO? Why?
Cause you're not going to get anything out of her.
Maybe, that's a good thing. Going a whole hour without hearing of Witch Opal's Anti-Frizz or Twilfitt and Tattings' new Summer Collection: sounds like heaven to me. I know she isn't going to just open Drake but at least I have something else to talk to do with her as another option.
Aww, you going to sit there with her and discuss your feelings and all your horrible childhood and cry into her shoulder.
Whatever Drake, I'm going to say yes.
Sooooo, what do you think?
Review. Review. Review.
Thank you. :)
