A/N: Here goes a new FF, I'll try and upload every 1 to 2 weeks if possible because I do have free time on my hands. But Don't hold me to it. This chapter is a little short but no worries, I do plan on making it longer. Let me know what you think I like constructive criticism.

Disclaimer: I do not own HP, if I did I would be rich.

Expect the Unexpected

Chapter 1: New start, old faces

At 18 years old, Hermione Granger had given up hopes of having a real boyfriend. At only 18 she thought not unlike others that she would be left alone for the rest of her life. She had joked about being alone with her two best friends but it was ok for them at least they had kissed someone. Well she had too, or so everyone thought.

Hermione Granger, had finally left Hogwarts, graduating with the highest marks in the year. She was the star pupil that secretly everyone was jealous of because knowledge came natural to her, even if she didn't study she would know this stuff like the back of her hand. She had long brown wavy hair, it used to be frizzy but grew out to natural waves, it also helped that she learnt how to control it.

So there she stood, blue skinny jeans, black pumps, pink tight vest top (not to tight to be slutty though). She was completely muggle-looking as she had gone out for a few drinks to celebrate her leaving. Away from everyone she knew from school, away from magic (for now) and away from the hectic world of Voldemort, who had been defeated the year previous by the famous Harry Potter.

"Oh come on Hermione, let us buy you a drink, you only leave boarding school once"

"Jazz come on you know I don't drink plus I've got to be up early in the morning" She would try anything to get out of drinking, it wasn't her style.

"For what? You don't have school, you don't work and you've just got back, what could you possibly have planned?" Jazz was the pushy sort of type, that wouldn't take no for an answer, she knew exactly what you were up to and when, which was why she knew Hermione was lying about rising early.

"I promised my mum I'd help out with surgery tomorrow"

Jazz rolled her eyes and let it slip, walking over to the bar and licking her long blonde locks from her face she ordered two double Vodka and Cokes, Hermione was going to celebrate her leaving whether she liked it or not.

Meanwhile back at the table the group was talking about past relationships...

"Yeah Neil was nothing really,only good for one thing and even then he was pretty bad!" Gemma winked to Hermione, expecting her to understand. She smiled back and sank into th conversation at the other side of the table. She had to get away from relationship conversations to save her embarrassment.

Sam, a guy Hermione had known since she was younger was finally introduced to their group a few weeks ago when he started dating one of her friends, was talking about some friends coming over for a drink and that they went to some fancy boarding school in Scotland.

"...and then Drake got socked in the face by the little girl, made me cry with laughter when he told me, gutting I mean seeing as he has a massive crush on her. He told me that as much as it hurt, it kinda turned him on to see her all hot and flushed. Hermione was all ears as Sam talked up the guys and how incredibly funny they are. She was getting excited now, maybe she could meet one of the guys, have a little flirt, finally get her first kiss.

Are you kidding me? That would never happen.

Jazz returned and handed Hermione her 'Coke' being thirsty and all she took a big gulp and almost spat it back up when realising it wasn't coke. Jazz winked and smiled in her cutesy way that Hermione just sulked in the corner.

"Just drink it Hermione, your leaving school and finally coming back home, we just want you to celebrate"

"Yeah drink it Granger, it might take that stick from your arse and have fun!"

Hermione jolted up right, she knew that voice but was scared to turn around, maybe she was imagining it, he couldn't be here, in the muggle world.

Your hearing things now? I'm going mad

She looked up to see everyone looking away from her...

"Draco, Blaise good to see ya boys, glad you could make it" Sam was shaking their hands?

Wait it all makes sense now, 'Fancy Boarding school in Scotland' that was Hogwarts. 'Drake' was short for Draco and got socked in the face buy a girl he fancied...

WHAT? The only person he got punched by was me...but that must mean...that he...but he's a...and I'm a...that can't be right...I mean...we...I...and he...NO WAY! That is completely wrong...but he is kinda cute...WAIT, WHAT? Hermione what is wrong with you, this is Malfoy, Ferret boy who has tortured you since first year. What you hear a guy likes you and you fall for them, how desperate are you girl? In fact don't answer that I already know, Is it just me or is it really hot in here?

Hermione fainted.
