Chapter 9
The Great Hall was silent as the School walked into breakfast today was the final day they would all receive confirmation and be living with their future spouses.
“As you know the Ministry shall be sending the finalizing letters tonight, and as you know the Students and faculty from our sister schools shall arrive tomorrow. Therefore I propose that you ladies have your trunks packed and ready to move into your new residences. We shall be having a late brunch with our guests, I expect you to treat our guests like fellow students. As they will be for the duration of this year. Please be assembled on the great lawn at 8am sharp.” McGonagall announced.
“This waiting thing is killing me, I have to live with a man I barely know.” Ginny sighed leaning into Hermione’s shoulder.
“I don’t think anyone is gonna be able to stand the waiting today Gin.” Hermione Replied Sympathetically leaning into her friend. Knowing her friends were at least in this with her, She silently kept begging the universe to let it Be Draco. She knew her other options were no options Really.
“Yeah but we are all in this together really so you can't say that we are alone in it.” Harry replied.
“True enough Mate, I just hope this helps us move on.” Neville nodded absently, eating his Oatmeal.
“Today is Gonna bite for everyone, Think it may be best if there are lots of cakes tonight.” Ron Replied predictibally.
“Honestly For Once that is not the Worst idea, Big Brother.” Ginny snorted, smiling at her Brother.
“Pie, Ice Cream the Works think I’ll pop in the Kitchens and whisper in the Elves ears.” Harry Grinned.
“Crackin Mate,” Ron pushed back his plate not having his normal Thirds, He walked out of the great Hall.
“He’s a Berk Right now. He didn't even eat his third helping, he only does that when he’s upset. If we were back home I’d say he went to Dad’s workshop but we are not home. He’ll prolly skip classes today.” Ginny Replied.
“Honestly I was considering it too.” Hermione replied.
“The world is ending. Hermione does not want to go to class.” Harry laughed jumping up and running out the Door followed by Hermione’s flock of Canaries.
“Can we Ditch in your Room’s, You me and Luna have a girly day paint our nails junk food you know good stuff.” Ginny Begged.
“Fuck it I’m Head Girl If I don’t at least Skip Class once I will regret it. Come on Get Luna and Pansy if she’ll come. I have Nail Polish and some Muggle Music that will play on a Gramophone, A thousand times better than the Weird Sisters.” Hermione stood tugging on Ginny who grinned and jumped up and began to Drag the Ravenclaw away from her breakfast with hurried whispered talk Before rushing over to the Slytherin Table and whispered into Pansy’s Ear.
Hermione looked at the Head table and Grinned at the Headmistress who nodded with a smile, Happy to give her favorite Lion a little time with her girls. The Older Witch would move mountains to Ensure the Girl would heal, Her and Harry. With Permission to Skip Class an Extra Day, Hermione allowed herself a small smile gathering her bag and joined her friends trudging up to her rooms.
