Dramione-Falling Apart

Hogwarts (Honor Student)-Edited

I walked into Hogwarts, it was new, refreshing. I'd missed it so much, McGonagall was now Head Mistress. Slughorn was head of Slytherin, and the rest remained. Ginny and I sat at the Gryffindor table, as the Sorting Hat sung its song.

The song drew to a close as the first years lined up in front of the sorting hat. 
"Bella E." 
"Hufflepuff!" The Hufflepuff table roared as Kat K and Pia B entered HufflePuff.
"Grace A," 
"Ravenclaw!"
"Mary A"
"Ravenclaw." The houses cheered, all but Slytherin, no one had yet been called.
"Maddy K."
"Gryffindor!"
"Kelsey L," 
"Slytherin!" The Slytherin table cheered pumping their fists in the air.

The Sorting finished and our new Gryffindor's were welcomed. McGonagall stood at the podium, she looked down at us, and I realised how much I missed Professor Dumbledore. She spoke about the usual things, the banned things, out of bounds area's and welcomed the first years. I looked around The Great Hall from the Ravenclaw table to the Hufflepuff and finally I settled on Slytherin and there was Draco Malfoy. I stared for quite a while. Taking in his appearance I was shocked at how much he had changed. His eyes were sunken in and his blonde hair at gone as platinum as it could have become. He'd lost a lot of weight, there was still that air of arrogance around him but he seemed sad, almost as if someone had killed his pet dog. I turned to look at Ginny, knudging her.
"Ow! Hermione what was that for!" Ginny cried.
"Look, Draco Malfoy's here, on the Slytherin table!" I whispered.
"What? Where?" Ginny replied. I watched her look around franticly at the Slytherin table.
"Oh, there." Ginny said at last. "Why did they let him back in? What if they start another attack! What if, well what was McGonagall thinking?" Ginny exclaimed. "It's an outrage!"
"Ginny! That's mean. I get where your heading with this but look at him!" I said exasparated. 
"Look at what? He's arrogant and pompous." I couldn't believe that she couldn't see how much Malfoy had changed.
"He's skinny! His eyes are sunken in, he looks sick, distraught!" I angrily explained.
"Mmm nah he's probably depressed cause he lost. You know, he's plain evil Hermione." Ginny replied. I felt my anger boil. Why could she not see how sick he was?

McGonagall stopped talking stood at the podium waved her hands and and she took her seat. Food appeared on the table, complete with a traditional Hogwarts meal. In that moment I missed Ron and Harry. I watched some of the Gryffindor's look at the chicken, there was finally enough chicken to go around without Ron. It was saddening.

We ended up having a hearty meal, complete with the perfect dessert, my favourite, Honey Comb Ice Cream. The first years were guided away to their dormitories and Ginny and I bound up the stairs to Gryffindor  common room. We stared at the Fat Lady as she told us stories about her youth and how brave she'd been in The Battle Of Hogwarts, it was highly amusing as she spun tales., she ended up letting us in when I heard someone call my name and I turned around to find McGonagall standing behind me.
"Hello Professor!" I called. It was quite a bustle, with lots of chattering and pushing.
"Hermione, I need you to come with me to my office." Ginny froze next to me.
"Of course professor." I followed McGonagall with Ginny beside me. I guess she assumed that something was wrong. I didn't blame her. 

We entered Professor McGonagalls office. It was Dumbledores office really, only neater. His portrait hung on the wall, though he wasn't there. 
"Oh Ginny, good evening, now Hermione I understand that you would be very stressed this year and that you might have a lot on your plate, but Hogwarts has created a new position, it's name the Honor student, a boy and girl will be chosen. They will also gain priviliges, it would be great if Hogwarts could have you as their Honor Student?" I considered the thought for a while, it would be great to have school priviliges and all. 
"Of course professor that would be a delight!" I replied.
"Good now I will need you to meet the other Honor Student, Draco Malfoy." Was she insane? Draco? I could feel Ginny's glare on my back, knowing what expression she'd have on her face. 
"Sure, professor." I replied still stunned.
"Now Hermione, I hope you haven't unpacked anything because you will be moved to another Dormitory with Mr Malfoy." I was ready to drop dead. A knock sounded at the door, and Draco shuffled in, his hands in his pockets.
