Hermione gazed wistfully out the window. Had she done the right thing? Of course you did! Said a voice in her head. But after seeing him for the first time in two months, she couldn't help but think that maybe breaking up with Ron hadn't been such a good idea. True, he did have a hot temper and Lavender Brown, that slut, was hanging herself all over him. It wouldn't have bothered me if he'd used some self-restraint. Somehow, walking in on your friend giving your boyfriend head really didn't make her day.
She laid her cheek against the cool glass and watched the scenery flick past. She had enjoyed watching his reaction when he saw her. You think Hermione Granger is gonna get fat and dumpy post-Weasley? Think again she smiled to herself. After she broke up with Ron, she'd enlisted a muggle friend, Emily, and kicked her ass into shape. Perfect figure and great new wardrobe to boot. Nice.
Her thoughts were disturbed as the compartment door clattered open. She looked around to see an incredibly good-looking and oddly familiar boy standing in the door way. Where had she seen him before? "Uh, mind if I sit in here? Everywhere else is full" the boy asked anxiously. And then it hit her, it was the voice. "G-Goyle?" She stammered. Could this stunningly attractive boy honestly be Gregory Goyle, the stupid, previously enormous crony of Malfoy? No… It couldn't…
"Uh, yeah… So can I sit or what?" he asked awkwardly. It was evident that he was embarrassed by her gawking. "Oh!" Hermione blushed "Sure. Wow! You look…. Different."
"GOYLE? Where the hell are you! I found the other Slytherins!" A sharp voice barked from the corridor. Draco Malfoy appeared in the door way, a scowl twisting his otherwise handsome features. In the past year, Malfoy had grown into quite a good looking young man, which all the girls had been quick to notice. He had become even more attractive (in their eyes) when he started sleeping with anyone who showed a little bit of cleavage. Unfortunately for Hermione, he still clung to his pure-blood pride.
Malfoy noticed Hermione. For a minute, he was speechless. "OR, we could sit in here" He said, his eyes never leaving her. He slammed compartment door closed and plopped into the seat next to Goyle, across from Hermione. "Sorry, I don't think we've met" Malfoy extended his hand "Draco Malfoy. And you are..?"
Hermione burst out laughing. "Good one Malfoy, you are a RIOT" she said sarcastically. Malfoy looked confused. He glanced a Goyle who looked back in disbelief with an expression that screamed "ARE YOU RETARDED?" Malfoy looked from Goyle to Hermione and back again. "Oh, are you and Goyle dating? Sorry." Malfoy apologized, still not comprehending.
Hermione extended her arm "Lilly Granger. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Malfoy's face was lit by a pale pink flush, the confusion disappearing from his face. "GRANGER? Are you related to that other one?" he asked in an incredulous voice that couldn't conceal his disgust. "I wish you wouldn't lump me in with mudbloods" Hermione answered coldly. As she said this, out of the corner of her eye she say Goyle's head snap around. God he's good looking she thought as she turned to face him But he doesn't have anything on Malfoy. But maybe in the meantime... Their eyes locked and he gave her a small, confused smile. Just as she was about to return the smile, the compartment door slammed open once again and Ron stood in the doorway beet red and fuming. He had grown a few more inches since Hermione had seen him last, and his red hair was perfectly messy. Hermione felt her chest contract. Of course she still had feelings for Ron. She's loved him since they were twelve, but after dating she'd realized they just weren't right for each other, especially since he seemed to think with his dick rather than his head. Judging by the expression on Ron's face, he obviously wasn't ready to move on, or rather, ready for Hermione to move on.
