Ok people I have a question for you. Do any of you know any common Italian pet name's. I don't know any Italian. I'm looking for little thing's Blaise could say
but nothing to complicated. Anything you could offer would help. Oh and please be sure to say what it means.
If I use your idea I will give you credit at the top of the page of the chapter I first use it in.

As I walked back to my compartment I had time to think about Blaise . What I came up with was, that he was just messing with my head. Blaise
Zabini is after all a known womanizer .He's probably having a good laugh at my expense right now. Well it end's here! I will not, be
humiliated in front of the whole school by some boy. Even if he doe's make my fingers and toe's tingle and my stomach turn over thinking
about his soft curly dark hair. That perfect smile. NO ! I am NOT ! Thinking about him like that. He only has as much power as ,I give him and,
I chose to give him none, from now on. Well, that decided I was feeling much better . Much more in control and that, is something a girl should
not be quick to give up. Men have the upper hand all to often as it is. No need to make it even easier for them to run over the top of you. I though.

I made it back to my compartment just as the train came to a stop. I was a little nervous about stepping out onto the platform after what happened
earlier so I waited for the corridor to fill with student's and I was able to blend into the sea of faces as I exited the train. As Head Girl it was my
responsibility to direct the first year's to Hagrid so I started to call for them when Kingsley came up behind me. " Let Ginny direct the first year's
we need to get you out of sight ! " He said. Ginny who had been on her way toward me had over heard what Kingsley had said , and she took over
directing the first years. Kingsley was pulling me toward the carriages. My arm must have been bruised when I was grabbed earlier because he
was hurting me, and I was getting sick of being man handled . He put me into a carriage and stood outside the door until the other's could arrive.
This must be what it feel's like to go to prison I thought. Thankfully I was soon joined by Luna and Neville. Luna ever her odd self greeted me as
if nothing had changed. " Hello Hermione or do you prefer Abigale now she asked in her dreamy voice ? " " Abigale is fine thank you Luna .
" The girl never ceased to amaze me. Neville had observed the exchange and just looked at me for several moments before he got up the nerve to ask " Is that
really you Hermione ? " I just sighed and fought the urge to roll my eyes. " Yes Neville it's really me. " " Wow you look different . " He said. It was getting
very difficult to hold back the snippy comment's that wanted to come flooding out of my mouth, but I held them back this wasn't Neville's fault. I
had no right to take it out on him. He had enough of that already from everyone else. " Yes I do your right. " Was all I said. Though I think I
should get some kind of medal for heroic use of restraint. Harry and Ginny squished in next cutting off any further comment. There wasn't
enough space so Ginny sat on Harry's lap and the carriage lurched forward.
XXXX
The ride up to the school was cramped Harry and Neville had both gotten very tall and were taking up a lot of room. Even so it wouldn't have
been to bad if not for Ginny sitting on Harry's lap. I lost count of how many time's she kicked me. At this rate I was going to be one big bruise.
I sighed with relief when we arrived and I could get out of that little carriage. I started to walk inside when I heard laughing behind us. I
turned and saw Ron and Lav Lav laughing about something. Just seeing him made my blood boil they were nauseating together . I had to get away
from the sight of the two of them so I turned and ran quickly inside. I hadn't made it to far when someone big ran into me, hard from behind. I
couldn't stop myself I was pitched forward with the force of the blow. I put my hand's out in front of me but it didn't help. I hit my head on the
step with a sickening crack. It didn't hurt, I couldn't feel it , But I heard Harry yelling. He sounded far away, other people were yelling as well.
Then I heard Professor Snape. He sounded angry and then I heard my name. Snape was telling me to look at him. So I did. Someone screamed.
Stupid screaming girl's ! I felt something dripping down my face, so I reached up to wipe it off, but when I looked down at my fingers they were
all red . I sat just looking at my hand until black robe's were swooping down on me , and I was moving fast. To fast ! I felt like I was
swimming and before I new it I saw Madam Pomfrey . " Hello Madam Pomfrey . " " Professor Snape When did you get here ? " I ask. Or did I
just think it. I'm not really sure. They were standing over me. Snape looked funny ! No that's not it. Well, he looked like something un Snape
like anyway. I would think about it later, I thought and everything went blissfully black.

The next thing I was aware of was bright light right in my face. It took a few moments but I was finally able to open my eyes. " AAAHHH ! "
"MAX DON'T DO THAT ! " " Sorry ! " He said. " I just wanted to make sure you were alright. " " You don't need to be two inches from my
face to tell if I'm alright ! " I yelled. " I said I was sorry ! " He said .Pouting a little at being yelled at. " Your right, I'm, sorry to, you just scared me
that's all. " I said. He was so sensitive. Little thing's hurt his feeling's." What time is it ? Why am I here ? " I asked him. " You don't remember ?"
Max asked. I held back the smart remark that almost made it out, and managed a simple . " No. " instead. Max took over telling me about last
night and about how Gregory Goyle had been the one who had run into me and how Potty , She Weasel , Longbottom and Looney. Had attacked
back and that it had been Pansy's idea but it's alright, because she got hexed with boils bad ,and got in big trouble with Snape and Goyle is on
probation any more trouble and he will be suspended. " Who screamed do you know ? " I asked. That I remembered. " Oh some stupid girl with
The Weasel king . "
He said. " Lavender Brown ! " I said. " What ever just some stupid girl. " He said. " Why did she scream ? " I asked. " Because you had a huge
cut on your head and your whole face was covered in blood and one of the other boy's in my year said he saw your brain !" Madam Pomfrey
decided to make an appearance then. " That is an exaggeration Mr. Loyce. One that I trust, you will put an end to right away. No one's brain was
showing. Just a nasty cut and it's fine now Miss Loyce you are free to go. " she said in her business like tone. " Thank you Madam Pomfrey. " I
said. I found my wand on the bed side table and was starting to walk out when Malfoy and Zabini walked in. " I'm supposed to show you the way
to the heads dorm. " Was all Malfoy said and left. I suppose he expected me to follow. Well, I could be offended at his rudeness later right now I
need to know where my room is. So I said good bye to Max and told him I'd see him a breakfast and followed the boy's. I had to run a bit to
catch up because Malfoy and Zabini's leg's were so much longer . Again Rude, I was recovering from a head injury the least they could do is slow
down I thought. Once we turned on to a smaller less used corridor they stopped. They were looking at me. " Are you alright ? " Asked Blaise.
" I'm fine . " I said remembering to keep thing's strictly business.
Draco took over. " Well yesterday showed us just how ruthless they are willing to be.
Blaise and I are to keep an eye on you so no running off with out us or the wonder dork's got it ? "
" I can take care of my self ! " I said.
" Oh really, is that what that was ? Because it looked to Blaise and I like you, nearly getting yourself killed twice in the space of one day .
So can the attitude and do as your told you little pixie fart. "
" Pixie what ? " " You heard me, move. " He said . Blaise just stood there and laughed at me. Lot of help he was.
Hmmp, That Malfoy ! He's so annoying, I just want smash his ignorant face in. " For the record I was only almost killed once yesterday.
The second time was just a cut Madam Ponfrey said it wasn't serious. " I knew that sounded stupid even as I said it.
" Do you really think Snape would have picked you up and ran, you to the hospital wing if it was just a cut ? Honestly and they say your supposed
to be bright. " That stunned me a bit I had no memory of that. I was so lost in my attempt's to remember. I barely noticed when we got to the
portrait of The two lover's. Eww why would Dumbledore choose this painting for the heads dorm ?
Draco gave the pass word." Dirty knickers ! " He said. " WHAT ? " Who picked that ? That's an awful pass word. I said. Draco just smirked at
Blaise and said. " I picked it , and you can't change it for at lest a month. " " Why would you pick something like that ! I all but screeched . "
They were both laughing now. " To see your reaction for one. You didn't disappoint by the way, and because you have to say it every, time you
want in. " He said. Laughing like an idiot. " AAAHHH ! " I screamed at both of them stomping my foot for good measure Before I turned and
walked in . " REAL MATURE !" I yelled at them . Now they were all but laying on the floor laughing . Stupid boy's !

All my anger disappeared once I walked inside the heads dorm it was wonderful. It was a miniature version of Gryffindor tower except for the
neutral color scheme . The roaring fire place the squashy chairs. The small study nook 's and shelves full of book's that spilled out into little
piles here and there and a staircase that lead to our rooms with a shared bathroom in the middle. I didn't have long to look though because
tweedle dee and tweedle dumb were yelling at me to hurry. What was it that I thought I saw in Blaise ? Because I'm over it ! " Your room is on
the right ! " Draco yelled after me, and I turned and walked into my room. There was Crook's stretched out on the four poster.
The room was done in Slytherin green and silver. I was sick. Why did they have to do that ?
Other than that the room was brilliant .It was small but that was fine it was all mine. In addition to my bed there was a window with a pretty view of the
ground's to the left . A small desk to the right and my trunk was at the foot of my bed. Perfect I quickly grabbed some clean clothes and ran for
the bathroom. Once there I noticed it was pretty much like the prefect's bathroom except the tub was smaller about the size of my tub at home.
There was a large shower though for the life of me I don't know why.
Do people often need enough room for ten people in the shower at one time ?
It seemed pretty silly to me but what do I know. There were also two sink's I could see Malfoy had already claimed one.
He had more personal hygiene product's than I did. I don't know if that's good or bad. I turned on the shower and tried to hurry
I was finding dry blood in my hair . Gross, and it was taking some work to get it out but after that. It was quick. I was
dressed and out the bathroom door ready to start the first day of my last year of school.
XXXX
I ran back to my room and threw my thing's in my bag and turned to
leave my room but my bag stayed. What the heck was it a sticking charm ? I couldn't lift it. " AAAHH ! " Ok maybe it was immature to scream and maybe I shouldn't
have started throwing things but this was just plain stupid. I couldn't lift my own school bag. So that is how they found me.
Red faced throwing a temper in the middle of the Head Girl's room. " Problem there short and angry ? " Asked Draco.
" I QUIT, I GIVE UP, I'M CLEARLY NOT MENT TO FINISH MY LAST YEAR ! "
" So, what brought this on exactly ?" He asked surprisingly calmly as he leaned against the door frame. I was trying not to cry which
was stupid and I knew it, but I couldn't help it. " I can't lift my bag it's to heavy ! " I sounded pathetic. Dignity was now a thing of the past.
They both just looked at me for a minute. Before Blaise walked over and started to unload my bag.
Without a word he and Draco put Feather Light charm's
on all my book's and put them all back in my bag for me. They didn't even laugh. I couldn't believe it, that so nice ? I guess " Thank you . " I
mumbled " Come on then ,if we hurry we can still make it to breakfast. " Said Blaise. We made it down to the great hall with only ten minute's to
spare The boy's lead me over to the Slytherin table and to the disgust of everyone at the table I made a scrambled egg and sausage sandwich .
Max ask me what took me so long just as Professor Snape set down my time table. Blaise pretended not to be listening from his place across the
table. " Yeah where were you ? " Added Millie from her place on my right. And Draco just said. " Your not seriously going to eat that are you ? "
from his place on my left. I realized then that they had boxed me in I hadn't even noticed till now. " I had to take a shower before I came down, and yes
I'm going to eat my breakfast I'm starving. " I said. There, not a total lie I thought.
I ate as quickly as I could while still using my manors something that my parent's had stressed
in my month with them. Breakfast eaten I took a moment to look over my time table but I could feel eyes on I gave the room a quick glance to find
the culprit and found nearly the whole room was watching me. Suddenly I started to feel very small I noticed Ron's face was beat red and he was
glaring at me. What's his problem ? I thought. Lavender looked like she's smelled something bad. At lest Ginny and Neville were smiling, Harry had his back to me.
Luna smiled and sent me a little wave. " Why is everyone staring at me ?" Draco answered. " They aren't looking at you they're looking at
Me, I'm extremely good looking incase you had forgotten. " Millie just rolled her eyes and said " Dumbledore gave a brief explanation about
you last night this is the first time most of them have gotten a look at you. Oh and the whole hitting your head thing last night. It was sort of big
news for about five minutes, but don't worry everyone's back on what happened at Kings Cross now . " " Oh ! " Was all I managed to come up with .
What could I say ? It was time to gather up our thing's and get going if we were going to
make it to class on time Charms was first I couldn't wait.
XXXX That was a really long chapter . Lot's going on, but better that, then a whole lota boring I say. If you find any mistake's feel free to keep it to your self. ( SMILE )
