Dramione and The Goblet of Fire

Chapter 3 ~Tutoring

Ron, Harry, and I were sitting in a compartment. When the trolley comes by and the lady is yelling "Anything from the trolley?" She stops at us and asks us if we want anything. Ron gets some drew8bals and sits down and Harry doesn't get anything and I pass as well. He sees Cho Chang though. Harry comes back completely star struck. I smile. "Little bit of a crush going on?" I say and he rubs his forehead. "It's hurting again isn't it, your scar." I say sadly. "I'm fine." He says. I nod. "You've sent Sirius an owl right?" I ask "Yeah I told him to wait until I was at Hogwarts to send a letter." He says nonchalantly I nod. "I'm going to go get changed into the robes. I suggest you do too." I say getting up and straightening my pink jacket over my white t-shirt and some blue jeans. I grab my robes and head to the bathroom to change into my robes and uniform. I start talking to myself and am in deep thought about Ron and this school year and about the professor Ginny was talking about.

I bump into someone and stumble back a little bit. "Oops sorry-" I begin to say before I'm cut off. "Watch where you're going filthy mudblood." The voice says and instantly know who it is. I look up into his icy blue grey eyes and he doesn't have the usual look of disgust. Draco Malfoy. It's more of a mean smirk. I look at his features and him again. He really does look quiet handsome. It's almost as if he like worked out or something and had a total makeover only on the outside though. "What are you looking at, mudblood?" He asks and I flinch at the name.. I hate it. I don't care how many times he's called me that. I can never get used to it. It hurts too much. I push past him, but I don't let any tears come down. I refuse to cry because of him. I change and go back to my compartment and they've already changed. "Ugh I ran into Malfoy a few minutes ago. Hasn't changed a bit." I say rolling my eyes. "Great. Just what we need this year." Ron says probably about to complain about any and every thing. I hate all the complaining he does.  This makes me question ever liking him, but something about him makes me like him.

We arrive at Hogwarts and get into carriages and it takes us up to the castle. We have the normal intro that we've heard for four years. Dumbledore introduces Mad Eye Moody who is an ex auror as our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Then Dumbledore goes to say "That in a week there will be a very big announcement." "I wonder what it is!" Harry says and we continue on with the feast laughing and chatting amongst our friends that we haven't talked to all summer. We then were dismissed. We heard the password. "Balderdash" and we went on our way. Just then a large, red, water-filled balloon drops from out of the ceiling onto Ron's head and explodes. Drenched and sputtering, Ron staggered sideways into Harry, just as a second water bomb dropped — narrowly missing me, it burst at Harry's feet, sending a wave of cold water over his sneakers into his socks. People all around us start screaming and start pushing one another in their efforts to get out of the line of fire. We look up and see, floating twenty feet above them, Peeves the Poltergeist, a little man in a bell-covered hat and orange bow tie, his wide, malicious face contorted with concentration as he took aim again. "PEEVES!" an angry voice yells. "Peeves, come down here at ONCE!" Professor McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress and head of Gryffindor House, had come dashing out of the Great Hall; she skids on the wet floor and grabbing me around the neck to stop herself from falling. "Ouch — sorry, Miss Granger —" "That's all right, Professor!" I gasped, massaging my throat. "Peeves, get down here NOW!" Professor McGonagall barks, straightening her pointed hat and glaring upward through her square-rimmed spectacles. "Not doing nothing!" cackled Peeves, lobbing a water bomb at several fifth-year girls, who screamed and dive into the Great Hall. "Already wet, aren't they? Little squirts! Wheeeeeeeeee!" And he aims another bomb at a group of second years who had just arrived. "I shall call the headmaster!" Professor McGonagall shouts. "I'm warning you Peeves –" Peeves stuck out his tongue, threw the last of his water bombs into the air, and zoom off up the marble staircase, cackling insanely. "Well, move along, then!" Professor McGonagall says sharply to the bedraggled crowd. We then continue on the way to Gryffindor Tower to get settled in. "Oh, Miss Granger, walk with me." Professor McGonagall says motioning her hand towards me. I nod. "See you guys tomorrow" I say and we walk off in other directions.
