Hermione's Mind

Blaise's Mind

The train arrived on the murky muddy grounds in Hogsmeade. It had been raining for the past 10 hours. Draco and Hermione got off the train first as they were the heads for the school year, along with the prefects. They made sure all the first years got off the train safely and were with Hagrid, and then the rest of the of the school got off the train. Draco spotted Hermione in the crowd he nudged Blaise and told him to tell Hermione to wait back with Harry and Ginny until everyone else has gotten on the carriages. Slowly all the students filed out of the station to the great joy of the 3 Slytherin's and 3 Gryffindor's. Slowly the group of 6 made their way to the last carriage. As they were walking they separated off into their pairs, and Draco and Hermione skirted to the side, "How do you think we can get the story through to Dumbledore? How do you think he will respond? What's going to happen to me? What's going to happen to us?" the questions started spilling out of Hermione before they were completely separated from the group. "I don't know Mione, we can hope for the best though, and nothing will ever separate us." He closed his hands around her left hand and held it up to her letting her see the ring he gave her before they left.

….{}….At Hogwarts….{}….

The six slowly walked past the gates that were closed iron tight all of last year, Flitwick greeted them and told Draco and Hermione that Professor Dumbledore was waiting for them in the west corridors of the fourth floor where their room would be.

"Ahh, hello Draco, Hermione now I know you two haven't been on the best of terms ever, but we need you two to lead us the best you can." Dumbledore started his speech.

"Sir, there's something I must tell you. It honestly can't wait, it's urgent." Hermione cut him off. "Sir, I'm not who everyone thinks I am."
"Hermione, if your talking about you being a Zabini I know this, I believe that you let your potion wear off during the feast tonight, and you can come before the student body as it falls away and then you can make a speech, we can allow you to be resorted if you wish but this has only been done a handful of times as you know." Dumbledore started "Now for where you two will be staying…" he rambled off and Hermione's mind was wrapped around what she would say later today at the feast. As she thought about it the trio walked to the portrait of a couple which looked to be from the 16 hundreds. "This is the entrance of the heads room, this is Anamarie and Stephan they were the head boy and girl in 1587, they have guarded these rooms since early in 17 hundreds."

The two looked quite like the reigning heads. Anamarie dressed in a floor length light lavender dress with sleeves that gathered to her elbow and fell outwards from there the back end almost hitting the ground on the portrait. Her hair was dark brown in large loops, swirls and braids. Stephan had a pair of knee high black breaches on with a puffy sleeved white shirt and a grey vest, and shiny black boots.
"Hello my dears," Anamarie giggled "you two may choose a password for this door, and please don't tell anyone it, we shall tell you if you have visitors both of us have a portrait in your room and a portrait that can contain either of us in the others" She broke off letting Stephan go on his part of the spiel.

"The password will change at the end of the fall session and will change before the winter and spring seasons. You will be notified then, and we wish you a very good year as heads." Letting a smile grace both of their faces.

Hermione looked at Draco and smiled whispering something in his ear he nodded his head and spoke, "we wish our password to be 'Change'."

"As you wish" and the door opened with a flourish, inside the common space was a cozy light brown with multi colored furniture, all tables in the room were a deep oak color and the two couches were dark brown leather. On the walls portraits of many different groups, notable heads boys and girls, a portrait of the founding members of Hogwarts, and notable witches and wizards. Hermione walked around with a look of awe on her face letting the new space sink in, walking towards the back of the room she found a small kitchenette with light yellow and blue colored walls. Slowly she and Draco met at the middle of the room where there was a small wooden sweeping staircase with intricate banners leading them up to where there was a large open space filled with bookshelves and comfy seats with two doors in the middle of the many shelves. The shelves circled the second level of the dormitory and there was floor for about 6 feet away from the shelves. After those six feet there was a railing that was waist high and then open space filled with a enormous chandelier lighting up the entire common space.
Hermione glanced over at Draco seeing him inspect the sizable amount of books that lined the floor before opening up the door that had her name written in a elegant script. On the other side was a huge bed that was draped with chocolate colored sheets. Like the rest of the furniture the bed was on a walnut frame. There was a small bookshelf for her to rest her schoolbooks on next to her desk along with the door to the bathroom on the right side of the bed, and on the left was a sizable wardrobe next to the door for the closet. The room was painted with a light green on three of the walls and one chocolate brown wall, which the bed was pressed up against. Exploring more she went into the bathroom and saw all the necessary things but doubled. Smiling Hermione left her room all together and went to see where Draco was. He had finished looking over the books and went into his room, leaving the door open. Hermione walked into his room seeing that it was essentially her room flipped with silver and dark green.
She walked behind him and hugged him from behind, eliciting a small gasp from Draco. Giggling slightly she moved around so she could see his face before leaning in to kiss him. "How do you like the room?" she questioned.

"It really is quite nice, and I enjoy the fact that you are only staying 10 steps away," he spoke. Hermione nodded, and pulled him from his room.
"Come on silly we have to go to the banquet now and I have to talk to the school, I want to get this over with." Hermione said mumbling.
"Don't worry love, you'll do fine." Draco reassured her.
