mudblood princess

The feast

Over dinner Hermione got to know her new housemates a bit better. She really liked Daphne Greengrass and Tracey Davis. Gregory Goyle and Vincent Grabbe were pretty nice but they couldn't keep up a conversation.

'So Hermione, you don't know who your family is?' Asked Tracey.

'I have absolutley no idea.' Hermione answered.

'It must be a full blood family. or a high standard half blood one' Daphne stated thoughtfully.

'That's true others never get storted into Slytherin.' Tracey added. 'who knows you might be the lost princess.'

'Lost princess?' Hermione questioned.

'Theodore Nott had two sisters. Both disappeared on the night the dark lord was defeated.' Tracey explained.

'The oldest is believed to be dead because some men confessed to using crucio on her.' Daphne added sadly. 'but no one knows what happened to his youngest sister.'

'And guess what her name is?' Tracey exclaimed. Hermione looked at her waiting for an answer. 'Hermione.'

'What? You're making that up.' Hermione said in disbelief.

'No really, we're not. Hermione Nott dissapeared on Halloween eleven years ago. so really you could be her. or this is just one big coincidence.' Daphne told her.

'Well I highly doubt I'm her.' Hermione answered.

Tracey and Daphne started talking about the new fashionable robes of a magical designer that Hermione never heard of. She glaced over to were Theo Nott and his friends were sitting. She didn't like him. His friends were even worse. There was no way she could be related to someone that mean. However it would be nice to know more about were she came from. To know where she belongs. She shook her head and tried to pay attention to Tracey and Daphne's conversation.

Meanwhile a bit further down the table Theo and his friends were having a lively conversation about quidditch.

'Of course I'll do you all a favor and take the burden on me of being the seeker.' Draco said smugly.

'Oh Draco, what would we do without you?' Theo asked sarcastically.

'Ah that's an easy question. You would lose.' Draco grinned back at him.

'Draco. One day your pride and ego will be your downfall.' Blaise warned him.

'probably. But today is not that day.' Draco laughed. 

And so the feast continued. The food never ran out. The tables kept being filled with the most delicious dishes Hermione had ever tasted. Hermione glanced over to the gryffindor table. Harry seemed to enjoy himself with his new friends. 

'time to go to the common room.' Blaise said as everyone around them started getting up and walking towards the hallway.

'This years password is Dahlia. Spread the word.' a girl told them.

'I wasn't expecting the password to be this... Well innocent.' Hermione said to Daphne who was walking next to her.

'People often think that Slytherin is all darkness and snakes and stuff. But in reality we're pretty normal.' Daphne answered.

'But it is fun to let the other houses think that we are.' Tracey laughed.

The Slytherin group crossed paths with the gryffindors. Hermione waved at Harry.

'Hey Hermione let me know when you know your schedule. Maybe we can meet up when we both have time.' Harry yelled at her.

Hermione smiled and nodded. She received some weird looks from her housemates and from the Gryffindors. She didn't care. He was family to her and she wouldn't let their friendship be ruined by some stupid prejudices. She saw Ron whisper something into Harry's ear. He didn't look very happy. Ron started pulling Harry with him towards the group of gryffindors that were walking up a moving staircase. Harry waved at Hermione once more and then followed the others.

'You really shouldn't be friends with them.' one of her housemates remarked.

'Why? I have known Harry my whole life.' Hermione asked.

'Well first of they are enormous showoffs. They think they are the best at everything and they think they rule the school. Secondly that Potter is the reason many of our families are dead or in Azkaban. So we don't really like him or any other gryffindorks.' A third year explained to her.

'How could he possibly be the reason your families are dead or captured? He's only eleven.' Hermione exclaimed.

'When the dark lord died. The side of the light decided they wanted revenge. They stormed our manors killing and capturing our families.' Theo said looking her straight in her eyes. 'And guess when he died? When he tried to kill stupid Potterhead. So yes it is his fault.'

Hermione could see the pain and anger reflecting in his eyes. She felt sorry for him but she had to stand up for her friend. 'I'm sorry about your family but he was just a baby back then. You can't blame him. That's just ridiculous.'

'I can do anything I want. So I will blame him.' Theo answered before turning around and walking into the common room.

'Don't mind him. Family is a very touchy subject for him.' a girl told her 'even though he has a point.'

Hermione walked into the common room. There was a fire light. Comfortable couches were placed around the fireplace. The couches were filled with cosy and comfortable green and silver pillows. A white soft fluffy carpet covered the floor. Through the windows you could see the water of the great lake. Beautiful fish were swimming by. Overall the common room gave a sense of luxury but somehow also comfort and warmth. Hermione felt right at home there. She sat down with her new friends and started discussing the things they would learn and do tomorrow. Hermione felt truly happy.
