Draco and Hermione

by merlinxoxo1

Draco really likes Hermione and when he suddenly starts being nice to her she doesn't know what is going on. Draco wants Hermione to like him in the same way he does her but he knows this will never happen well not without something to lead her in the right direction... Draco/Hermione Rated a T just to be safe :/

1. Chapter 1 - A New Start

Chapter 1- A new start

Hermione Granger was ready to start a new year of Hogwarts, she was approaching her sixth year and as always she wanted this year to be the best. Despite Draco and his fellow class mates Crabb and Goyle she was certain there was a chance. She had already got all her stuff from Diagon alley. So she made her way to the station, she ran though the brick wall and arrived at platform 9 ¾.

She looked around for her friends Harry and Ron but she couldn't see them anywhere, perhaps they were already on the train she thought. She waved goodbye to her parents and made her way onto the train. Hermione looked around for harry and Ron then she saw harry, right at the end typical she thought. But there was someone else with him and it wasn't Ron, Ginny, Luna or Neville he was with Cho.

Hermione felt hurt not because she liked harry it was because he hadn't met her on the platform he didn't even send a reply to her letter, to this she thought there might be some reasonable explanation but she couldn't bring herself to go in. So Hermione moved on to another compartment which was empty, she sat down and shoved her stuff next to her.

She sat in silence until the whistle of the train went and they were off, she took out the newspaper and began to read the headlines she was reading for a few minutes until the door flung open and in came Draco Malfoy Hermione glared at him. "Hi" he said "can I sit here?" Hermione was confused, where were his mates Crabb and Goyle? "err, yeah" she replied still confused.

"So... have a good holiday?" she could clearly tell he was only trying to start a conversation. Without answering the question she snapped "where are Crabb and Goyle? Ditched you I suppose". Draco looked slightly hurt however he continued "there on... holiday! Is that ok with you Granger?" Hermione looked at him for a second then replied "yes I suppose..."

She had seen him many times this way but somehow he seemed different, more handsome somehow... Hermione shook her thoughts what was she thinking! This was Draco Malfoy her arch enemy! Draco looked at her "are you ok?" he asked "cause you look kinda flustered". "Yes I'm fine" Hermione replied, since when had Draco ever cared about her? Some strange things were going on and she was going to find out.
