Chapter 1: How It Began

Summary: Excerpt: 'Oh don't get me wrong I love Ron. He's perfect…in his own way…right?' Prologue. Read and Review

A/n: Please be kind because this is my first fan fic but I do take criticism well.

When I was a child, I always thought that my fairytale would end in my happiness and me marrying my prince charming. Of course, every one dreamed it (and sometime lives it). However, I never thought my fairytale would take so long to unfold. I never thought that after I found a prince charming that another one would appear. Okay let me start from the beginning.

It all started on July 21, 1997. It was graduation day…

"Smile" I heard my mother said as an arm slung over my shoulder. I smiled and my mother took the picture. I turned to the person next to me and I found it was Harry Potter my best friend and hero extraordinaire.

I could not believe it. Seven years have passed since that fateful day on the train when I met Harry and Ron Weasley.

"So" He started, startling from my thoughts "Where are you going after this, Miss. Head Girl?"

I rolled my eyes. I was the Head Girl this year and Harry has been teasing me all year. The only reason why Ron has not teased me was that he was my boyfriend and that he was Head Boy.

"I might go to Ron's house after" I replied smiling at him. "How about you?"

"Well since Ginny still have school I just might call it a night," He said

"Hermione" Someone called from behind me as I was about to respond Harry. I turned and smiled as I saw Ron. I kissed him as he reached us and he put a hand around my waist.

"So this is it?" He started out as I broke the kiss "This is the final goodbye"

I rolled my eyes. He was always so dramatic.

"We'll see each other," Harry said smiling as he hugged me than hugged Ron. He waved before he made his way toward the exit of the Great Hall. Now it was only Ron and I and I gazed up at him, I could not think of anywhere else I wanted to be except here in his arms.

"I got to go," He murmured as shouts of his name echoed through the Great Hall. He kissed me once more before he left. I sighed, I couldn't spot my mother or father in the Great Hall so thinking they were probably waiting in the Entrance Hall I began my way toward the two large front doors of the Great Hall.

However, I was stopped when someone took hold of my arm and turned me around. I came face to face with Draco Malfoy.

I glared. What did he want?

"Hello, Granger," He started off smoothly

"Malfoy, what do you want," I said getting to the point then with a faint blush I noticed that he still had my arm in a death grip so I yanked it from his grip and tried to hide my blush. What is wrong with me?

"I…I" He started stuttering I raised my eyebrow in shock I never ever saw Malfoy stutter.

"Well" I said encouraging him to go on

"I…I hope you have a great summer" Malfoy said before shocking me, once again, as he hugged me. I could not help but blushing as I thought how perfect it felt to be in his arms. Wait…I did not think of that…did I? No, I do not like Malfoy.

"Y-you too Malfoy" I said before pulling away and leaving to go find my parents all the while I couldn't help but think how cute Malfoy looked.

Oh, do not get me wrong I love Ron. He is perfect…in his own way…right? However, he cannot compete with Malfoy for me because he already has me. Nevertheless, why is my heart telling me otherwise?

Therefore, this is how it begins. My fairytale.
