3. Chapter 3

Early Autumn. Hogwarts, the feast after the Sorting Ceremony, 1991.

As Hermione sat at the Slytherin table she was a little frustrated, because she didn't know how to behave with Slytherins. While her fellows were eating with happy faces she was sitting alone near to a corner of the table resigning with the reality of being sorted in Slytherin.

"Hey, fellow snake, what's the problem?", asked Draco looking at Hermione with his piercingly grey eyes. Hermione got a little scared as he sat near her without any sound.

"What are you talking about? I'm…I'm fine.", answered she avoiding to look into his eyes.

"Well, did you choose Slytherin because of me?", Draco was still looking only at her as he asked. Hermione met his eyes and smile and quickly looked down blushing.

"No, it's…", she didn't have time to finish as Draco intervened: "So you think I'm not attractive?!".

"No, no, you're very attractive and handsome, but…".

"Handsome, hah! Finally I heared the truth from you!", said Draco smiling and looking at ashamed blushing Hermione. "Let's stop to torture you, my name is Draco Malfoy and I just want to befriend you!".

Hermione smiled and with much more self-reliance looked into his eyes saying:"My name is Hermione Lestrange, nice to meet you!".

"It's better now, pleased to see your beautiful eyes that you're hiding all the time.", said Draco still smiling, "You have to eat something or you risk to be tormented by hunger later!".

"Do you take care like this of every person who steppes on your robe?", said Hermione laughing.

Draco laughed being amused and replied:"No, only you are so lucky!".

"Anyway, excuse me for that.", Hermione smiled as she apologized.

"It's ok, moreover, it's me who has to apologize, because I spoke rude enough with you!", said Draco, "But now we're friends, right?".

Hermione smiled brightly:"Right!".

Draco and Hermione ate together a meat pie speaking and laughing, and then the feast ended and students were allowed to go to their rooms.

"Hermione, will we meet again or you leave London today?", asked Draco waiting for an affirmative answer.

"I'll spend at Hogwarts at least one day, because I need to receive instructions from all professors, maybe you'll see me tomorrow.", replied Hermione smiling.

Draco smiled being pleased by her answer:"Now, can I guide you to the dungeons to meet our Common Room?".

"Of course!", replied Hermione feeling again a cool air passing through her veins while she looked into his eyes.
