He woke up and had no idea what was going on. He groaned and rolled over, and got a whiff of…wait a minute was that blood?

Draco sat up and tried to remember what was going on. He looked down at himself and realized that he was covered in blood but he couldn't remember how it had happened or if he was wounded. He looked around the room and that's when he saw her. The past year flooded in at such a speed that he almost lost consciousness. He got up as quickly as he could and raced to Hermione's side. She had to be ok. There was no way that after everything they had been through that she wouldn't be ok. She was too still, he didn't like it his heart started pounding and he gently shook her.

"…Hermione?" He said softly, scared that she would not wake up.

ONE YEAR EARLIER

It was the start of their sixth year at Hogwarts and there was a buzz in the air. Everyone seemed nervous, and rightfully so, the wizarding world now knew that Voldemort was back.

Hermione, Ron, and Harry were sitting in a compartment on the Hogwarts express, Ron and Harry talking about quidditch, trying to keep things as normal as possible, while Hermione was pretending to be lost in a book. In reality Hermione's mind was racing, she was worrying about Harry and how the death of Sirius was affecting him. Not to mention that they had Voldemort making his public appearance to worry about.

Hermione's thoughts were interrupted by the compartment door opening. Neville and Ginny walked in to join them. The second Ginny walked in Hermione watched her immediately look to see where Harry was and watched as her face fell because Harry was at the window and Ron was next to him. Hermione decided that if she got up that Ginny could sit across from Harry and she wanted to make both her friend's happy. She knew that Harry was starting to feel the same way about Ginny, if the looks she caught him giving her over the summer was any indication. Hermione and Ginny had become quite close over the summer and Hermione knew how Ginny felt.

"I'm going to go use the toilet." Hermione said getting up and giving Ginny a knowing look.

Hermione was walking out of the lavatory when she bumped into someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention," She said politely before looking up.

"Granger," the voice replied, disdain dripping off the slow drawl, "of course you weren't, too busy thinking about books were you? You should watch where I'm walking next time, that way we can prevent this from happening again. I'm going to have to burn these robes to get the filthy mudblood germs off of them."

"Ah, Malfoy, good to see you too," Hermione said sarcastically trying to get out of the way and away from the insufferable arse she was now being forced to talk to.

Malfoy, seeing what she was trying to do, stepped in front of her blocking her path forcing her to stay where she was. "In a hurry are we? What's the matter? Potty and Weaslebee waiting for you? I'm surprised you're not with them, didn't think they could last 5 seconds without you."

"And I'm surprised you're goons aren't with you, can Draco Malfoy actually do things by himself?" She put on a sarcastic shocked face, "who knew? Are you sure you can go in the bathroom by yourself? Crabbe and Goyle aren't here to wipe your ass."

With that comment she side stepped him and continued walking back to her compartment, leaving a very indignant Draco Malfoy in her wake.

Hermione opened the compartment door feeling agitated, like she usually did after Malfoy encounters.

"I just had a run in with the ferret." She said to the group which now included Harry, Ron, Neville, Ginny, Luna and surprisingly Lavender Brown.

"What did he say? Are you alright Hermione? I'll hex him the next time I see him." Ron said, getting slightly redder in the face with each question.

"I'm fine Ronald, you need to relax. I'm a big girl I can handle him." Hermione said getting slightly angry that he thought she needed him to come to her defense. Hermione Granger was certainly capable to handle herself. She was no longer the second year little girl who had never been called mudblood before. Draco Malfoy paled in comparison to a basilisk, breaking a man out of wrongful imprisonment, or fighting Death Eaters.

"We'll be arriving at Hogwarts soon." Luna said in her dreamy voice, breaking the slight tension there was in the room.

"This is going to be a big year isn't it?" Harry said quietly almost more to himself to any particular person in the room.

"Yes I think it is." Ginny replied just as quietly.
