The Real Me
Description: A playful romp in the snow changes Draco's perspective on things. A Choice. THE choice that will change his and their lives forever. A Draco/Hermione story.
Rating: PG-13 Rating is for language and descriptive kissing scenes. (Probably no S-E-X but I will not describe it but either end the chapter tehre or change to another person.
Author's Note: This story is going to show a WHOLE new side of Draco Malfoy that we have NEVER seen before. If you are a crazy person and love Malfoy as his super snobby bad-ass evil self. Than this is NOT the fic for you. This will be Draco/Hermione with a baackground Harry/Ginny "becoming a couple" kinda thing. Ron probably won't be in the dark for long. I will most likely pair him with Lavender out of pit later. There will also be a bit of Neville/Parvati but nothing major that will really affect the story.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Harry Potter, as another author on Fan Fic mentioned in her disclaimer, If I did things would be different and HERMIONE AND DRACO would be free to love each other!!!! So anyway, please don't sue me, I have no money and I am merely writing this to satisfy all the Herm/Draco lovers out there!! So basically the characters are JKR and not mine.
Okay! Enough ranting!!! On with the story!!! Don't forget to review! Any feedback is great feedback!
Chapter 1
Hermione Granger sighed and breathed in the smell of King's Cross station. "Ahh," she said as she scritched Crookshanks lovingly behind the ear, "Isn't it great to be going back to school again?"
Her mother looked at her with tears in her eyes. "Oh sweetie! I ahte sending you back there with the Dark Lord's return and everything!" She pulled her daughter into a crushing hug.
Hermione heard a snort from behind her. A cold sneering voice immediatly followed, conmfirming her earlier assumption to who it was. "Awww would y'a look at that? The mudblood and her muggle mother having a tearful farewell! Aww," he said pretending to wipe away the tears, "It makes me want to RETCH!" He cackled as he proceeded to walk straight through the wall between Platform's 9 and 10.
"Draling, who was that handsome boy? And what on earth did he call you????" Her mother asked, concern etched all over her face.
"Don't worry about him or anything mum. I love you!!" With that she gave her mother a quick pec on the cheek and walked casually through the barrier to platform 9 3/4.
~*~*~
The moment Hermione walked through the wall she stepped into the red haired 17 year olds as they were walking past. "What the hell do you think your doing walking this close to the barrier you stupid ignorant buffoons!!" She cried pulling herself off the ground from where she had fallen.
"Urgh, Hermione!" Shouted George from his vantage point on the cold concrete, "Want are trying to do? Kill me?"
She hugged the Weasley twins as soon as she'd realized who she'd bumbed into rightinside the barrier. "What are you trying to do Hermione?" joked Fred as he held his ear, "Trying to harm my virgin ears with you foul language?" (A/N: I forgot to mention that as this is Hermione's 5th year, The twin's are back for their 7th and final year at Hogwarts)
"Oh gosh I'm sorry Fred, George!! I didn't mean to hurt you!! Are you two ok??" She asked, turning red in the face from her earlier comments.
"Of couse they're alright Mione!" Cried Ginny Weasley as she rushed forward to hug her friend. "They were just trying to be ignorant Knumbskulls! Weren't you guys??"
"We are not knumbskulls! You little wench!" Cried the twin voices of Fred and George. Their youngest sibling shrieked as 4 hands reached out chasing after her trying to tickle her.
"Oy, lay off her guys!" Yelled a handsome blackhaired boy.
"Excuse me handsome fellow," Hermione said teasingly, " Have you seen a scrawny little messy haired boy with broken glasses and green eyes? You look like him but you're too talle and good looking."
"Mione," Harry blushed at her comment. He knew it meant nothing but friendship from her, but it felt nice to here someone say something nice about him after the torment he had endured from Dudley and his cronies throughout the summer.
A tall red head came over, "Hey guys, Umm we'd better go the train is about to leave."
"Argh! Ron you're right!!" Cried Hermione as she glanced at the train noticing that the engines were running. She quickly unloaded her trolley into the compartment and attempted to drag 4 red heads and a black haired boy onto the train before they were all left behind.
~*~*~
Draco Malfoy gazed out the window of his compartment at the four Weasley siblings, their parents, Potter, and Granger. He sighed as he watched them joking around and having fun. He wished that he could have been one of them...
WHAT?!?! Did I Draco MALFOY just wish that I was having fun with Potty, the Weasels and the Mudblood?? I must be going off my rocker!
He saw Hermione look towards the train, a sudden look of realization cross her face. He chuckled as he saw her trying to drag the 5 others onto the train.
He was depressed. His cronie weren't going to be at Hogwarts this year. They had failed last year and their parents decided that they should go to Durmstrang anyway. Being that Karkaroff was a death eater, they assumed that Crabbe and Goyle would get a better education there. He was glad that his father didn't feel that way. Krum went to Durmstrang, and Draco didn't want to be assosiated with that stupid seeker. Even though Draco himself was Seeker for their own team.
It was only when he heard the door the his compartment open and the laughing voices of Haary, Ron and Hermione did he realize he was in their normal compartment.
Ron looked venomous, " Get out of our compartment Malfoy! Before you get a repeat experience of ur last train journey!"
Malfoy smirked at them. "Cant you find another compartment," he said with a cool tone in his voice.
Hermione sighed, "There are no other availiable compartments you ferret."
Harry, who had been silent during this, was the first to notice what was missing. "Malfoy, where are you lugs, Crabbe and Goyle?"
Draco sneered, "Their parents seemed to think that they would do better at Durmstrang. Not that I care. There are many other people that would jump at the chance to be in my inner circle."
Ron and Harry exchanged looks of triumph, "So its only you Malfoy? Your cronies won't be around anymore?! Ha! Well then there is no one to help you defend this compartment! Get out!! Or we will turn you into a ferret, the real Moody taught us how throughout the summer!" Harry said with a glint in his eye.
Hermione looked disgusted at this apparent display of macho behavior. "Oh shut up!" She cried, "Let's just share the compartment. It's not like there would be any space anywhere else for Malfoy if he went somewhere else!"
Her outburst shocked them all. Most of all Ron. "W-w-w-what?!?!" He sputtered.
Harry look shocked, "Well," He said, "Come on Ron I think Dean and Shamus have some room left in their compartment."
And with that they left Malfoy and his new defender alone.
Draco looked at Hermione with a starnge look in his eye. She merely sank into the opposite window seat and styared out the window. Already lost in her own thoughts.
~*~*~
Ugh, she thought to herself, why did I come to Malfoy's defense? It's not like he's ever done anything for me! I mean, he's always calling me mudblood and insulting me...but...I dunno... he seems... different without people around.
She looked at Draco and saw that he was staring intently at her. God! She thought, why does he have to be so handsome!!
She looked deep into his gray like eyes. She saw something different in them.. something almost like he was lonely. She broke their gaze witha shake of her head. Lonely? MALFOY?
Well, it was true that he no longer had Crabbe and Goyle at his side 24/7 but, there was always the other Slytherins. Like he said, they would probably jump at the chance to become part of Malfoy's gang.
This was going to take some consideration....
~*~*~
A/N: So? How was my fic? This is kinda my first one. I know I have another one but I am not goijng to continue that one because try as I may I have major writer's block on that one. This one however seems to be writing itself. If I get some positive feedback I will continue the story. I hope you all like it. I am trying hard.! Hope you enjoyed it!!
