29th June 2000

'Ahh, Ginny we have to leave soon!' I was really nervous now. 'Oh god 'Mione! I'm like freaking out!!' Ginny ran over to Harry and hugged and kissed him.

'Oh Ginny, We should go now!' I say going to the door. 'I guess so' She kisses Harry again and walks over to me. 'We're gonna miss you all!' She shouts. We hug everyone and Apparate to Malfoy Manor.

------------

'I'm actually so scared, You know what happened me last time I was here' I was really worried. 'Yeah I know but I think it's going to be a whole different situation this time' She hugs me before we walk inside.

'Miss Granger, Miss Weasley. Lovely to see you both' Narcissa Malfoy was now saying Hello to me. What is happening? 'Nice to see you too Mrs.Malfoy'. I shake her hand.

'Oh please! Call me Narcissa. For all we know now I could be your new mother-in-law.' She leads us into the Manor. 'Not gonna happen' Ginny muttered to me under her breath.

I'm pretty sure everyone's here now. I see Luna and Lavender. And of course Parkinson. But right at the top of the room is Malfoy. He doesn't look so bad for being what he was. Oh shut up I can't think like that!

'He's so good looking now!' Ginny whispers to me. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who thought it. 'Ginny! You have a boyfriend' 'I'm only looking' She has a cheeky smile on her face.

'Goodmorning Everyone' Narcissa was at the top of the room now too. 'Welcome to our Manor, I'm sure you would all like some things to be explained.' 'Damn right' Ginny says, Maybe too loudly.

'Okay, So you are all here for a sort of competition. At the end of every week. Draco is going to send one or two people home. So you may be here for 2 months. But you may be here for a week' She explains. 'I'm gonna ask him to send us home' Ginny says to me.

'So every day 2 girls will be sent on a date. Every Saturday, Draco will choose 1 girl to spend the whole day with' Narcissa motions to a timetable for the dates which are on the wall. 'Could you imagine he picked one of us on a Saturday?' Ginny exclaims 'That'd be horrible!'

Narcissa continues to explain everything like we have 2 people in each bedroom, We get to choose so I'm staying with Ginny, Each room has a house elf assigned to it. She said each of us must go and get the keys to each room. There are 21 girls, So there are rooms 1-12. She also managed to say that Draco is in room 12 at the end of the long corridor.

'Come on Ginny let's go get the keys' I say and drag Ginny to the top of the huge ballroom.

'Now Miss Granger and Miss Weasley, You are in room 10' Narcissa hands us the keys, While I look at Draco. He doesn't look like he's enjoying the attention at all. Especially when Pansy keeps trying to be at his side.

'Come on Hermione! Everyone is looking at the timetable, We gotta see when our dates are!!' Ginny grabs my hand and pulls me over to where everyone else is.

It was currently Friday, So there was no spending the whole day with Draco tomorrow, That started next week. 'My date is on Monday Morning!' Ginny says. 'Mines on Tuesday Afternoon' I say back to her.

'Oooh So I'm going before you, I'll tell you how it goes. I think we should go to our room now' Narcissa dismissed everyone! 'Yeah okay! Do you know where they are?' I asked walking to the door.

'No clue. I guess we should just follow everyone else' Ginny and I follow the group of girls who seem to be going somewhere upstairs.

Eventually, we found the long corridor Narcissa was talking about. We unlocked the door to room 10. 'Oh My God' I was in awe. 'This room is hugeee!' Ginny ran over and found her bags by her bed.

The room had two huge double beds. A bathroom with a shower and a big bath. There was a t.v and a sofa. It looked amazing.

'It's soo nice!!' Ginny ran into the bathroom. 'Look at these wardrobes for all our clothes!' I started to take some of my clothes and place them in my wardrobe, Ginny did the same.

'I say we go look around the Manor! I wanna see everywhere' 'Ginny everyone going to be around the place' I look at her. 'Okay, so we go to the gardens!' She says 'They looked pretty too!!'

'Yeah okay sure, Come on. Might as well go now' I unlock the door and we walk through the halls.
