So You Think You Know Hermione Granger?
(summary) Hermione is her same old self as 7th year begins, but when a new girl joins the school and starts taking Ron and Harry's affections, the new Hermione emerges…..
Chapter One- All Aboard!
Tears stained the white fabric of Hermione's pillow, as she lay on her bed, safe behind the curtains of her four poster bed.
'Why….' She whispered, as she thought back to the first day, on the Hogwarts Express…..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hermione stepped into the crowded train, and slowly made her way to the front compartment, where the Prefects and Heads had to meet. After a brief talk, they were sent away. Hermione, naturally, had been chosen as Head Girl, Draco as Head Boy. Hermione walked with Ron to their compartment, talking about their holidays. They reached their compartment and continued talking with Harry, and the train had been moving for only a few minutes when someone knocked at their door.
'Come in..' Harry said, and the door slid open to reveal a girl of about Harry's height, with wavy dark brown hair, icy blue eyes framed with dark lashes, and slightly tanned skin.
'Sorry to interrupt..' she said softly, looking at Harry, Ron and Hermione.
'I was just wondering if I could join you.. everywhere else is full..' she finished, still speaking in that quiet voice, and hardly looking at them for more than a second at a time, she was obviously shy.
'Course you can.' Ron spoke up, who hadn't taken his eyes off her the whole time. She was, needless to say, quite beautiful.
'Really? Thanks!' the girl said, her shyness melting away. 'I'm Kaya Rakindol'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah yes. Kaya Rakindol, the reason for Hermione's tears, which now had ceased slightly. She took a deep breath, and opened her curtains, deciding upon taking a bath to clear her head. She quickly grabbed her things, and in ten minutes was sinking into the Prefect's bath. After washing, she stood up, and wrapped her towel around her body, then moved to the mirror, and slowly unwrapped it. She couldn't understand it. Hermione was not the little girl that she used to be. Her hair had tamed slightly, and was now wavy, and just below shoulder length. Her parents, being dentists of course, had fixed her teeth, and she had developed curves in all the right places. She'd grown into a beautiful woman. So why did Ron and Harry seem to pay so much attention to Kaya, not her? She quickly dressed, and walked back to her bed, thoughts bouncing around her head.
'They think I'm a little know-it-all. Well, that Hermione is leaving…'
As she lay down, her eyelids fluttered closed.
'I'll show them how much of a teacher's pet I am' she thought, as she slipped into sleep.
