Harry Potter and Hermione Granger

How It All Works Out

     Harry soared by, the train speeding past "Nine and three quarters... blimey... its ridiculous." he muttered, a frown pausing his sarcastic laugh. He was the only one inside the room and he began to pant "Alone? Am I the only wizard joining?" he thought. He closed his eyes, taking in the view and sighed. He pulled out his wand and waved it, causing his car to shake. "Whoa!" he shouted grinning at his new found power. he heard a knock he heard a girls voice, high and mature.

    "We're doing magic now are we?" she asked "Well lets see it!". He frowned at her and took in her large hair.

    "Um. Sorry. I don't know any" he explained. Pausing. She was very pretty and he was very shy.

    "Oh, sorry I just assumed. I was looking for a toad, a boy named Neville lost one." she said "And I can show you a spell you might need." she said giggling slightly. She pointed at his glasses and he still didn't understand. So she pulled out her wand and point it directly between his eyes. He went cross eyed and his mouth fell open.

    "Whoa!" he shouted. She smiled at his discomfort.

    "Occulus Repairo!" she said and the tape holding his glasses came off in a swish.  She smiled and said "Blimey! Your Harry Potter aren't you!". She stared at him and he blushed.  

    "yeah" he said with a smile. She looked at him, her eyes falling on his forehead "Is it... is it true? The scar I mean, is it there?". He grinned at her.

    "Yeah" he said and pulled his dark hair back "its there". Her astonished face smiling at his told him he hadn't yet overstepped.

    "Mind if I stay in this car?" she said approaching the seat calmly. He turned bright red and stuttered attempting to find a reply.

    "Yeah yeah sure" she sat down.

    "Hermione. Hermione Granger." just then a boy walked in. He had light blonde hair and Harry was immediately jealous.

    "Hey. Malfoy. Draco Malfoy" he says, taking the liberty to seat himself beside Hermione.

     "Malfoy?" asks Harry, suppressing a laugh.

    "Potter?" he said mockingly.

    "Whoa" Said Hermione "Calm it" she said. Holding out her hand she took Harry's. He blushed and so did Draco

    "Ahem" he said getting up "ill be on my way," he looked at Harry loathsome. Hermione smiled, remembering his hand in hers.

    "No! Your here to study" she told herself, getting off the train. She turned towards the door, frowning, but shrugging. He was still inside changing. She walked to the door "Avis!" she shouted and multi-colored birds flew into the air, captivating her audience.

    "Who is that?" one guy asked another and she smiled, blushing.

    "My name is Hermione!". She walked into the crowd, seeing his green eyes. He smiled, seeing her coming.

    "You know where we are?"  he asked. She nodded, breathless. They walked up stairs laughing and joking.  

    "hello!" says a grand voice "My name is Minerva McGonagall, but for the remainder, to you, I'm professor McGonagall. I will be your transfiguration professor. I am up here right now to explain Hogwarts. When you enter this room.." she said gesturing to two of the largest doors Harry had ever seen. "You will be sorted. Into either Gryffindor, bravery, chivalry, honor. Slytherin, tough, fighters. Ravenclaw, excellent minds, strategist." with that Hermione laughed "and Finally, Hufflepuff, Kind hearts, loving. Where ever you are put that house will become your home. Your house mates, your family. Now. Enter." The doors flew open. Hermione was jumping for joy and now it was time. Where would they be sorted.

        She smiled, looking around for an escape.

    "Where do you think you'll be sorted?" he asked her. She turned and smiled genuinely

    "Ravenclaw." she said, truly believing it. Draco turned towards him, shooting him a thumbs up encouragingly. Draco was the first up. they set a hat upon his head, a large brown, old looking hat. and then it spoke.

    "hmm...." it said a hint of humor within it's voice. "Oh. You want to be with Harry Potter?" it said "yes... Gryffindor." it declared. He smiled proudly waving to everyone before sitting. Dumbledore looked surprised considering the Malfoy family line had been Slytherin. Professor McGonagall turned towards the crowd

   "Hermione!" Harry smiled as she shyly moved forward to be sorted.

    "Hmm A muggle born" said the hat, pondering. "Gryffindor" it declared. She walked away towards the table. A look of shock sustaining. She turned towards Harry and laughed. He was slowly backing away.

    "Harry James Potter!" shouted the Professor. The entire room turned towards him as he slowly made his way towards the hat.

    He grinned, shyly, as the hat was placed upon his head.

    "Hmm.. very complicated indeed. Yes. Yes. " Harry was nervous and began muttering words under his breathe.

    "Gryffindor." he said over and over. Finally the hat, after a long pondering said

    "Gryffindor!". Harry smiled as Draco and Hermione cheered. He walked over to them as Dumbledore declared "Let the feast begin!" his long white beard turning with him as he stepped down to his seat. The podium falling and the hat disappearing in one swipe of his wand. Harry turned to face Draco. "Why did Dumbledore look surprised?" he asked him. Quietly pondering the options. "about you?" he said "Or my house?". Harry shook his head "Your house." he explained. "Oh" Draco said "My entire family is Slytherin. It'll be living hell when I get home" he said. Harry nodded "I don't know where my family comes from." He explained. Draco laughed "I know more about the boy who lived than the boy who lived!" he shouted and Hermione laughed. Harry blushed and Hermione stopped laughing "Sorry" She muttered. He nodded and Draco continued "Your pop was Gryffindor, as well as his ancestors. Your mum was Gryffindor, but her family is all Muggles" he smiled "Maybe you have a grand-mum out there waiting for you". He laughed and two boys from Slytherin come over. 

     "What was that Malfoy" one said shoving his shoulder. This one was rather tall and large. Another laughed, a loud annoying sound. And he was short and just as large. "Yeah Malfoy. Your a puny Gryffindor." said the shorter one. They both laughed. Draco glared at them and got up "Crabbe, Goyle go play with the Slytherin." he said the taller one being Goyle and the shorter being Crabbe. He laughed and they frowned "Vincent Crabbe. Gregory Goyle" explained Draco. "ah" said Hermione and Harry. They turned towards each other, blushing. "Wow" said Draco, looking at them. "My friends are falling in love." he said and Hermione did something similar to a giggle. Quickly covering her mouth. She turned away from Harry. Draco smiled as a young girl approached him. "Hello. Here is your house elf Harry, Hermione, and.... Draco?" she said and Draco nodded. Indicating his name was right;. she smiled more sincere knowing his name.

     The three house elves were scared looking all three being what seemed like girls. "Master." said the most confident, looking at Harry. "Master I am Carmen. Call me Carmen." she said and Harry smiled "Carmen. All three of you belong in the kitchen." he said "Go on. To your real job. Oh and Carmen, wait" he said. Hermione and Draco frowned. The young elf walked to him as he leaned down and whispered in her ear. She nodded eagerly and ran to Dumbledore whispering hurriedly in his ear. He threw his head back laughing and smiled at Harry, nodding. "What'd you say Harry?" Hermione said, a smile playing on her lips. "Oh. Only that he should stop testing me." he replied a smirk playing on his. Harry turned towards Hermione. "Hermione Granger." Said Draco as Harry stared. "Hermione will you go out with me?" he asked her. Harrys mouth fell open and Hermione blushed fiercely "No." she said. Harry's mouth had fallen open more. And Hermione turned to him, kissing him. He blushed severely red and Hermione laughed.
