After a War ((Old Copy))

Chapter 27 Book 1

After a War

Hermione enjoyed the rest of her day with Malfoy. They met up with the rest of their Slytherin friends and had dinner. It was all fun, Neither Malfoy or Hermione brought up the mistletoe, or the bookstore in general. It got dark quickly and everyone grouped up to walk back together.

"Solomon!" Maya called out, waving at a fellow Slytherin. Hermione didn't know him very well but he was a very, 'bad boy' type. Hermione never tried to get to know him. Solomon walked over slowly.

"Yes?" He asked Maya. "Its finally dark, I wanted to get some stuff done." He said.

"Solomon." Maya warned. "You know you cant, your my technical adopted brother." Maya said. Solomon rolled his deep blue eyes.

"I cant just not do anything." Solomon argued.

"You wont be doing nothing, you'll be spending time with your fellow Slytherins." Maya said. She grabbed his arm and everyone started walking again.

"So, you were both adopted by who?" Hermione asked.

"Remus, he's our adopted father. He takes care of us during summers and breaks. After the war, we just stayed in the woods for a while." Maya said.

"Stayed in the woods? Does that mean he's a Animagus too?" Malfoy asked.

"Yes, I'm just not a wolf." Solomon said.

"What are you?" Marcus asked.

"I'm a Wampus." Solomon said.

"Your a magical creature, from America?" Hermione asked, the surprise and respect found in her voice.

"Those kinds of Animagus' are rare." Maya said, nudging Solomon's shoulder.

"Those kinds of Animagus' are hunted and killed." Solomon said.

"Why?" Blaise asked.

"They're dangerous." Solomon said. They reached the castle and started to walk towards the dungeons.

"I didn't know they hunted people who could turn into Wampus'" Hermione said. She knew almost everything, just not much about Animagus'.

"We should all be Animagus'!" Pansy yelled.

"No." Malfoy said flatly. Hermione would've agreed with Malfoy but it could be very useful.

"Well, before we all decide, lets just sleep on it. I'll set something up to where everyone can vote." Hermione said.

"We'd need a name, like the Marauders." Maya said. "And everyone would need a codename, like Padfoot."

"We can vote for that too." Hermione said. "The main name at least, codenames would be everyone else's choosing."

"Lets hurry up and sleep on it then!" Pansy said, happy that Hermione didn't turn down her idea immediately. They all chatted about random things the rest of the way to the dungeons. Everyone was saying goodbye to their Hogsmead 'dates' before separating.

"Umm, I had fun" Hermione told Malfoy.

"Yeah, me too." Malfoy said.

"Hating each other in the morning?" Hermione asked.

"Hating each other in the morning." Malfoy confirmed. They shook hands. She tried to shake hands at least.

"Your still freezing." Hermione said after she shook his hand.

"I know." Malfoy said. She turned around to walk back to her room. She waved at Malfoy before opening the door. She walked into the dorm and sat on her bed. She left the door open for Maya, Pansy, Meg, Scarlett, Addison, Lori, and Heather. The dorm had grown quite crowded. Many people took a while to get to Hogwarts. The new Animagus group was only going to be made up of close friends though. She couldn't keep up with everyone. She got out a box and labeled it, "Animagus" then she put It by her bed. She rolled over and went to bed.
