A/N: This is my first fic so please go easy on me. I would love to hear your thoughts and advice on the first chapter.

Diclaimer: Sadly I don't own anything from the Harry Potter series, except Malfoy (okay that one is only in my dreams).

Chapter 1 - Platform 9 and 3/4

Hermione's POV

I walked through the barrier to platform nine and three quarters. As I walked I saw a very handsome guy, not just handsome, he was gorgeous.

I have finally experienced love at first sight. I walked past him trying to get a glimpse of his face, oh no, just as I walk by he turns his back, just my luck.

I know I'll turn around and walk back that way I can get a second look. OH MY GOSH!!!! No way that can't be him, I must be hallucinating, and I thought he was handsome. Ew, no way. Before I realized it I was face to face with Ron and Harry.

"Hermione, what's wrong?" asked Ron, "You went through the platform then two minutes later you walk back out."

"You look terrible, what happened?" asked Harry.

"Oh what," said Hermione she had too many thoughts going through her head to hear what they said.

"You walked back out of the platform, what happened?" repeated Ron.

"Oh, um I thought I dropped Hogwarts a History on the way in," lied Hermione. I can't tell them the truth; it makes no sense, not even to me.

How could I think Malfoy was hot? Come on it's Malfoy I reminded my self. My eyes were probably just playing tricks on me Hermione thought.

I walked back through the platform; Malfoy was nowhere to be seen. See nothing happened. As I continued to look around people started to stare in my direction.

I turned around to see what they were looking at. Oh big surprise they're staring at Ron. Nothing unusual. Ron was well known amongst the girls at Hogwarts.

He was somewhat of a player. He's dating Fleur Delacour, they mostly keep in touch through letters. But Ron was getting bored. So he went on dates with loads of other girls. He never really finished with any of them. Ron was always insensitive about other people's feelings.

Harry, Ron and Hermione climbed the stairs onto the train and they started looking for a compartment.

They found one near the middle of the train. The three of them settled into the compartment.

As the train ride continued Hermione barely thought about what happened on the platform.

I left the compartment, so I could use the loo. On the way back to our compartment I saw an open compartment door. I looked inside there were a group of Slytherins. I took a closer look and saw . . . Malfoy? Maybe I wasn't hallucinating. He really never was that bad looking. But he really stands out now, I was right he is gorgeous.

Wait, I'm starting to sound like all the other Griffindor girls. It was a sickening thought.

All they ever did was talk about boys. Mainly, come to think of it, Malfoy. He was the crush of many girls. He was talked about one of the most, probably tied with Ron.

If I know all of this it means I was listening to all the gossip from Parvati and Lavender. No, I over heard them, so it doesn't count as listening.

Before Hermione realized it she was back at her compartment. During the rest of the train ride Hermione was very busy. She had a lot to think about.

This wasn't like her, she never worried about boys or how she looked, she always focused on her studies. She always reminded herself boys and fashion would get her nowhere in life, learning comes first.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed it. Please Review!
