'Ello everyone! I have had a fanfiction for awhile now but this is my first story/update. The idea is that everyone is back at Hogwarts after Harry defeated Voldemort. The only downside is that Bellatrix hasn't been killed yet. She sneaks into the school and seeks revenge against anyone who helped Harry. Unfortuanantly, Hermione is the one who is found. (P.S. Hermione hasn't been totured until now.) What dear Bellatrix doesn't know her lovely nephew Draco is in love with Miss Granger. This story will show the ups and downs through their relationship...well what do you think?

I will NOT update again until I 25 reveiws...Thanks and much love, Penelopee13

Prologue:

Hogwart School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was full of new and old students, begining and returning to the grounds. After the famous Harry Potter defeated the equally famous Dark Lord, Voldemort, the school reopened no longer fearing for the student's life. Many students returning are the very ones who fought for and against He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named himself. Including, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron and Ginny Weasley, Draco Malfoy and many more. Everyone is gathered in the Great Hall enjoying a fantastic feast, once finished they all left for bed. Class are starting the very next day...

Hermione's POV:

I woke eager to start the first day back. I gathered my bag, books and quils and walked down the stairs into the Gryffindor Common Room. Ron was sitting with Harry and Ginny on the couch near the fire.

"Hi, 'Mione." Ron said cheerfully.

"Hi, Ron, Ginny, Harry." I replied.

"Ready for breafast?" Harry asked, standing up. Ginny quickly stood as well slipping her hand into his.

"Yes." I said turning to the portrait hole.

Once the four of the were out they headed to the Great Hall. They entered and sat near Neville Longbottom, Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas. They chatted, laughed and ate happily.

"Hey look, it's Malfoy." Ron said pointing. "Didn't think he'd be back, since he was for You-Know-Who."

"Maybe he changed..." I said. I think he can. I thought.

"Doubt it." Ron said stubbornly.

I looked around the Hall to see who else had returned. The Slytherin table wasn't as crowded as it used to be. Ravenclaw and Hzufflepuff looked about the same. I glanced at Malfoy again, he was looking right at me. Our eyes locked...a strange feeling overwhelmed me. He looked different, in a good way too, he didn't seem as misrable. His eyes were brighter and his face wasn't as pale.

"Hermione!" Ron shouted.

"Uh, what?" I said quickly.

"Are you ready for class?" Ron asked.

"Yes." I replied. I looked at Draco again, he winked at me. I gasped slightly...Why would he wink at me? I thought I was a "mudblood".

On the way to class my mind was going a million miles an hour. WHY? Has he actually changed? Or is he playing with me? Did that wink mean anything? Do I like him? I knew the answer to this question instantly...Yes, I like him.

I know it's really short but it is a start. PLEASE REVIEW! :D
