A/N: Hey guys thanks for the support from you all, love reading your reviews :) Keep it coming.
Once in the castle all the students were ushered towards the Great Hall for the Welcoming Feast as they usually were while the new students were kept outside the doors to the room.
Hermione, Harry and Ron hurried up the steps knowing that they were very close to being late. They nodded quickly to Professor McGonagall while Harry and Ron pushed open the doors and hurried to their seats closely followed by Hermione. As she walked towards her seat she noticed a lot of people watching her as she walked towards the Gryffindor table.
She sat down and leaned across the table towards Ron and Harry, dropping her tone to a whisper.
“Do I look funny to you guys today?” she asked with a humiliated tone.
“No Mione, why?” Harry responded, looking at her carefully.
“Well everyone’s looking at me and it’s making me uncomfortable”
“Come on Hermione, every one is gonna notice you’ve…erm…grown up” Ron stated as he looked her up and down.
Hermione blushed a bright red and replied only by looking down at the table and leaning back, not knowing what else to say. Thankfully the awkwardness of the moment melted away as the doors opened once again and the new students walked down towards the stool holding the Sorting Hat.
She smiled as Professor McGonagall led the first nervous first year towards the hat and remembered fondly of her time being sorted. The first young girl name Stephanie Barns was sorted in to Slytherin and the applause and hisses occurred as they did every year, pushing the idea or house unity even further out of the window.
The rest of the sorting went by rather quickly due to the lack of new students that year, totaling only ten due to the fear that Voldemort had instilled in the Wizarding World. Gryffindor gained three of the students and as always they were welcomed in to the fold immediately by the older students. Three went to Ravenclaw, four to Hufflepuff and another two to Slytherin house.
Once the sorting had ended, Professor McGonagall took the place behind the podium, which usually belong to Professor Dumbledore. She placed her wand to her throat and began to speak using a projection charm.
“Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry” she began with a small sad smile.
“I am happy to see that so many of our existing students have returned regardless of the threat looming in our world. Hogwarts is ultimately the safest place to be during this difficult time. I would like to make it very clear to all years that as usual the Forbidden Forest is off limits to students and going there would have serious consequences or may result in death, therefore please do not approach it. All students must be inside the castle before dark, as the new defenses we have in place will activate then. This does not mean that you have to return to your dormitories once inside the castle after dark; you may stay out until curfew. If a prefect finds you after curfew you will receive a detention and a deduction in house points. I hope that this year our Head Girl and Head Boy will be able to instill in the student body the need for us to come together at this time and let go of past grudges. Your Head Girl and Head Boy this year will be Miss Hermione Granger of Gryffindor house and Mr. Draco Malfoy of Slytherin House. Please stand.”
Hermione’s face once again turned red as she stood to an applause from her house as well as most of Ravenclaw and all of Hufflepuff. As Draco stood he received shouts and applause from his own house and a few of the Ravenclaw students who were known to dabble in the Dark Arts. Both once again took their seats as the Professor signaled the end of the Welcome speech and the foods were instantly covered in plates of steaming hot foods and different kinds of drinks.
Harry and Ron began to pile their plates with food much to Hermione’s amusement.
‘You’d think those two hadn’t eaten in weeks’ she chuckled to herself bringing thoughts of Molly’s cooking that she’d missed over the summer causing her mouth to water and her stomach to grumble.
She poured herself a glass of ice cold water and began to fill her plate with potatoes, vegetables and meats of different kinds. She cut a slice of tender lamb and was about to bring it up to her mouth until she had the feeling of being watched. She looked around her own table who were all engaged in their own conversation so her eyes began to drift around the hall until they met with a very unlikely set of eyes. Hermione didn’t know what to do once she had caught Nott looking at her but he did not seem willing to stop, instead her smiled at her and gave her a small wink. Forgetting herself she smiled back before someone to the left caught her attention. Draco was now looking her way and turned his head towards Nott as she looked at him, next to him she found the sensual chocolate brown eyes boring in to hers.
She looked away quickly and began to eat her food and involve herself in the conversation Ron and Harry were having, regardless of the fact it was about Quidditch. The rest of the meal passed with the feeling of being watched but she never met their gaze again, choosing to closely examine the food on her plate instead as she was eating.
Once all the food was cleaned away Professor McGonagall took to the podium ones more.
“Now could all students please follow the prefects from their house to their common rooms in order to gain the password for the year. Head Girl and Head Boy follow me please”
Draco and Hermione followed Professor McGonagall to her office and took the seats she gestured to, before she took the one behind her desk.
“Now Hermione, Draco I hope that your meeting on the train went well and you have came to an agreement on the schedules of meetings and prefect rounds?” she said eyeing the two, preparing herself for a barrage of protests.
“Yes Professor we have completed the schedules and meeting timetables and handed them out to the prefects of each house as well as having an extra copy to hang outside of our meeting room” she stated calmly despite the nervousness she felt from the anger emanating from Draco.
“Very well and I trust that you are both going to be able to work together for the good of the school and morale?”
“Well Professor, I for one am not sure for the reasoning of presenting Granger here with the Head Girl title, she has broken so many rules over the years and personally I do not feel we will work well together due to her know-it-all attitude” Draco said coolly, hoping she would replace her immediately.
“Well Mr. Malfoy, I understand that Miss Granger has had some past indiscretions during her school years, however none of these have caused harm or distress to anyone and have occurred for the good of the school. You however, have had a very checkered past in this school Mr. Malfoy, especially last year and you should feel yourself privileged to hold this position in spite of that. One more word about this pairing and you will be stripped of the title.”
Draco glowered at the older woman and did so until she dismissed them to their dormitory.
“You will find your dormitories on the third floor of the building behind a portrait of a knight and a princess, the password is faith” she said before letting the two teens leave.
Draco reached the door wrenching it open so that it slammed against the wall as he stalked along the corridors. Hermione timidly followed him until she realized he wasn’t heading towards their common room but down towards to dungeons.
She trailed the long corridors looking for the painting when she finally came across the portrait, which held a young knight kneeling in the grass and kissing his princesses hand. She smiled at the romance of it all, cleared her throat and stated the password to which the princess curtseyed and the portrait swung open.
Hermione walked forward enveloped instantly by the roaring fireplace. As she furthered in to the room, she gasped as she took in her beautiful surroundings. The walls were adorned with the most beautiful royal blue wallpaper which was silky to touch, the floors were made of summer oak wood and the fireplace was surrounded by a large which mantel with a white marble hearth.
She removed her shoes and left them next to the door as she made her way towards the soft blue rug that stretched out in from of the fire. It felt so luxurious beneath her feet and she sat down and reveled in the feel of it as she took in the rest of the room. Tall white wooden bookshelves covered the walls to either side of the fireplace with four shelves in each one empty, which Hermione assumed to be for their own personal books.
She looked behind herself and took in the cozy beige sofa and large armchairs that surrounded either side. Just then she looked at either side of the common room and realized that there were two stairwells, one with a plaque to the left stating Head Girl and the other set the same with Head Boy. She excitedly bounded up her stairs and found her cream door emblazoned with a golden script saying ‘Hermione Granger’ and smiled inwardly.
She entered the room and gasped again noting that the floor was made of the same summer oak wood but the walls were covered in cream wall coverings, the one behind her bed holding a golden flower pattern. The bed was a large four-poster with a thick golden duvet covering it with a fluffy comforter over the end. She jumped on the bed like a small child and snuggled down in to the cushions amazed at the comfort and laid there for a while just taking in the rest of her surroundings such as the vanity and desk both made of the same cream wood and her overly large walk-in wardrobe/change room.
The bathroom sprung to her mind as she began to levitate all of her belongings to their rightful places. She finished unpacking and finally entered the bathroom, which was no less grand than the other room in the dorm. She smiled as she noticed it was all made from white marble with gold adornments. She looked at the sunken tub and couldn’t help her excited giggle. She turned on the taps adding a lavender scent in order to ease her in to relaxation.
As the bath filled she returned to her room, grabbing her things and shedding her clothes, tipping them in to the laundry basket on the way past. She laid her clean clothing on the stool of the bathroom vanity, locked the door she guessed led to Draco’s room with her wand, pulled her hair in to a bun on the top of her head and sank in to the bubbles immersing in the pure bliss.
Once bathed and dressed in her lavender check pyjama bottoms and white camisole with a baggy grey zip up sweat jacket over the top and white fluffy boot slippers on her feet. She grabbed the Potions book that they would be using first the next morning and headed downstairs to lie on the couch while reading in front of the fire.
