Chapter 1: The Express
Harry stood in the hall of the crimson and black train staring into the window of a door. What he saw was an amazing sight. The girl of his dreams sat laughing at something his best friend had said, Harry and her having both just returned from their Prefect rounds. He looked at the pin on his robe and then at hers.
He knew that it would be difficult to be so close to her without getting too close. He knew that he was in love with her. The look on his face was solemn and depressed.
Hermione then looked out the window directly at him. His expression didn't change as he walked away. The smile on her face, however, vanished. She stood quickly and ran from the room after him.
"Harry!" she called after him. When he didn't stop she ran faster. She called out to him again this time slightly louder, "Harry!" She continued running as he moved into the next car.
When she entered behind him she saw that he was in an unfortunate predicament. "Well, well, well! If it isn't Harry Potty!" a malicious voice said. Hermione knew that voice even if she couldn't see the person saying it.
"Shove off, Malfoy!" Harry said angrily at him. He tried to pass but Malfoy stopped him. She could now see his face with the usual smirk plastered on it. "Move, Malfoy!" Harry yelled.
"Why is poor little Potty crying?" Malfoy asked mockingly. "Did your beloved little mudblood reject you?" Crabbe and Goyle, his two cronies, laughed at his joke until.
CRASH!! Hermione could not believe her eyes. There lying on the floor was Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle from one punch thrown by Harry. Harry yelled loudly at the leader, "Never! Call! Hermione! That! Again!"
Malfoy rose and pulled back his fist. As he began to swing he was cut off by a broad sword emerging from the nearest cabin. "What is the meaning of this!?" a man said as he emerged from the room to reveal the hand holding the sword. He was roughly 6'3" and had broad shoulders wearing heavy armor.
Malfoy looked at the man and said, "Potter hit me."
The man smirked and lowered his sword while turning toward Harry. "Harry Potter?" he asked. Harry nodded still angry. "I hear that you are very good at defense against the dark arts class."
Harry looked at him in surprise. Never had anyone talked to him looking him straight in the eyes but Hermione. "I suppose so, sir" Harry said smiling for the first time on the train that year. "But who are you?"
"Before I say, Harry, I must tell Miss Granger that she needn't hide from me," he said looking at the girl hiding behind the door to the next car. Harry looked at where he was looking and saw Hermione emerge. She walked over to them and the man continued, "My name is Sir Lucas Kingshand, your new defense against the dark arts teacher. However I would prefer if you called me Luc."
"Alright, Luc, as you know I'm Harry and this is Hermione," Harry said first gesturing to himself then to Hermione.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, sir," Hermione said.
"Please Hermione, call me Luc," Luc responded sheathing his sword and turning away from the two students. "I suggest that you relax the rest of the ride to Hogwarts. This is your last day to see me that you may relax." He walked back to the cabin that he had emerged from.
Hermione looked at Harry and said, "That was peculiar."
"Yeah," Harry mumbled back. He began walking back toward the cabin that Ron was in.
Hermione followed him back to the cabin. Just before they reached the cabin Hermione grabbed his arm. He didn't even turn to look at her when he stopped. "Harry", she said, "You have said one word to me since we left this morning and you barley said anything to me since you showed up at Grimmauld Place this summer. Do you hate me or something?"
This got him to spin so quickly that her arm had to let go. "No!" he said firmly. She looked at him confusion obvious in her eyes. "Quite the opposite actually, 'Mione," he continued.
He then mumbled something she couldn't under stand. "What did you just say, Harry?"
He looked at her eyes. Her Beautiful chocolate eyes. One of the many things that he loved about her. "I," he began, "I said that… I love you, Hermione." He looked down and turned around.
She grabbed his arm again and he turned back to her. Before he could say anything he felt a warm feeling going up his spine as he felt something soft on his lips. He then realized that the soft thing on his lips was Hermione's lips. "I love you too, Harry," she said as they pulled apart.
They just smiled at each other. Harry took her hand and led her into a rare thing; an empty cabin right next to the one Ron was in. They had a long snogging session before finally returning to their friend's cabin to change into their school robes.
"Where have you been?" Ron asked looking from his sister, Ginny, their friend Nevile Longbottom, and an acquaintance of Ginny, Luna Lovegood to his best friends. He noticed that the two looked disheveled and used the brain that he had to hide from everyone to realize what was going on. To not blow his cover he said, "Why do you guys look so horrible?"
The two looked at themselves and then at each other and smiled. They then looked back at their friends. Everyone looked bewildered except the ravenclaw, Luna. They smiled at their friends again. Harry reached out his hand and took Hermione's and said, "Guys. Hermione and I have decided to start dating with or without old Voldy trying to kill me."
The four people in the cabin looked at their friends in shock. A smile crept on all of their faces and congratulations were all that could be heard in that car of the train. It couldn't be understood, but it was heard. Ron stood up and said, "I need to use the loo. I'll see ya later." He walked out of the cabin quickly.
The others looked at the exit that he had just left through. "That was also peculiar," Hermione said.
"You can say that again," Harry responded as they sat down. Hermione rested her head on his shoulder as Harry put his arm around her waist holding her close.
"Sir," a man in silver armor said as he approached Luc. The man wore silver armor with a red cloak tied around his neck. He had long brown hair that went down to his shoulder blades and shining blue eyes.
Luc looked at him and smiled. "Brackson, it's good to see you," he said standing.
Brackson smiled back and walked up to Luc. He hugged him and said, "I can't believe that my father is going to be a teacher at my school." They pulled away and sat down. "I have just been informed that Harry is starting to date Hermione," Brackson informed his father.
"Good," Luc said smiling, "very good."
That is all I have to say about that. Please read and review. I'll update soon hopefully.
