It's too good to be true
Chapter 1 - At the train station
It was Hermione's seventh year at Hogwarts. She had got the position of Head Girl and was excited about the new school year. She looked out the car window as her parents were driving her to the train station. Oh how she hoped that the school year could quickly start. She was beginning to miss Harry and Ron more than she ever had or expected herself to.
Finally, Mr. Granger stopped the car.
"Well, here we are! King cross-Station. Have a great school year Hermione!"
"Take care honey, and write often!" said Mrs. Granger, hugging her precious daughter for the 18th time that morning. With a final wave, Hermione made her way to the platform.
She spotted a tall redheaded boy, and next to him, was a familiar head with messy black hair. Hermione Granger smiled.
"Ron! Harry!" she shouted. She pushed through the crowd and started running to the two boys. As she ran, she bumped straight into someone. The impact of the collision was so huge that she fell backwards and landed on the cold hard floor.
"Ouch! Watch where you are going, mudblood!" Hermione knew that voice. Without looking up, she said, "Malfoy, I see you haven't changed over the summer, even after your father has been sent to Azkarban. Sheesh, I feel sorry for you. All the humiliation you must be feeling after your dad was sent to prison!"
"You better watch your back, Granger!" Draco Malfoy scowled at her, while rubbing his chest in pain. She had knocked the wind out of Malfoy when she bumped into him. "I'll make you, Potty and Weasel pay for what you have done to my father!" With that, he let out a string of swear words. " That damned mudblood! She just dirtied my favourite robes! " He thought to himself. Hermione laughed. "Better wash that mouth of yours, Malfoy. I strongly advice bleech."
"Hermione! Is FERRET BOY bothering you?" Harry and Ron were making their way towards them. Hermione quickly scrambled up. Trembling at the fact that they were very likely to start a fight even before they got up the train, she shook her head and dragged her two friends up the train. The odds that the three boys would engage in a duel were too high to be ignored. The three friends found an empty compartment and quickly occupied it. Ron started setting up the chess set while Harry cracked his knuckles, readying himself once again for another fierce battle of chess. Hermione sighed, Typical!
"Hey guys, I've got to go to the Head's carriage. I'll come back when the Head boy and I briefed the prefects. And Ron, don't be late for the briefing!"
Harry waved without looking up at her. He was too occupied with the chess game that he was obviously losing.
She laughed and turned to leave when Ron called out, "Hey Hermione! Do you know who Head Boy is this year?"
Hermione shrugged and left the compartment, making her way down the noisy train towards the Head's carriage.
