Life Or Something Like It

Authors note- this is my first Fan Fiction story. I do not own Harry Potter or any of its Characters. My plot doesn't follow any guidelines from the story it is my own. Please feel free to review.

Chapter 1:

It was the beginning of the seventh year at Hogwarts, and the war was over. There were many hardships, and fears the Golden trio had to over come, but in the end they defeated The Dark Lord. All of the Houlcroxes were found and destroyed, leaving Harry's connection the Dark lord over, and he was free to live a normal life, for what ever that meant for everything that he has been through. I Hermoine Granger took a look back on everything that has happened the past 6 years and I can only smile, because someone once told me 'What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger.' Now I believe more than ever we are the strongest we could ever be. I breathed one last sigh as I stared out my foggy glass window, and then stared down at shiny gold head girls badge in my hand. I smiled, and quickly grabbed my trunk and apparated to the train station.

I still didn't have the landing part down all that well, because I landed directly on top of someone, nearly crushing them to death. I heard a faint grunt and the only thing I could think of was ' Oh no please don't be a muggle!' I it was I don't think I would be able to explain this very well. Suddenly I was caught off guard from my thoughts when the man that I crashed on top of struggled to speak.

" God lord would you mind getting off of me?" He had a deep masculine voice almost sarcastic. I would recognize that voice anywhere. The good news was I hadn't apparated into a muggle and risked exposure, but it was worse.

" I know this must be one of your wildest fantasies Granger but get off, your crushing my lungs!" It was Malfoy. I gasped and carefully stood up, brushing myself off.

" For your information I do not fantasize about you, you arrogant prat!" He just smirked at me.

" Perhaps, but maybe you need to work on your apparating." He kept staring, and smirking at me "ya know from the best"

" Ha, I hope you don't mean yourself!" I fought back a laugh. He stared to walk closer, and the smirk that was on his face was gone.

" I'll have you know Granger that I have been apparating properly since I was 13, and I have never once landed on anyone." How dare he! Yes I have only just mastered it about a month ago, and I did it before Harry, and Ron, which leaves me gloating rights for that. He had no right! He was standing about two inches from my face, just starring me down, obviously trying to break me. I would smell his shampoo , and it smelled of springtime and fresh mint. I had to admit he wasn't that bad looking ,actually attractive. ' No, no, no, Hermione put it out of your thoughts, this is Draco Malfoy were talking about!' I thought to myself. All of a sudden I realized that there were voices behind us staring, apparently we had attracted the attention of the muggles at the train station. I started to get nervous and slowly backed away, when Malfoy grabbed my writs, pulled my to him and whispered

" Don't move, those aren't muggles behind you they are Death eaters, well the ones that survived any way." How did he know that I wondered as I looked at him questionably? I must have looked worried, because before I could say anything he whispered into my ear, I felt a chill go up my spine as he spoke " Don't say anything, just go with it.. Ok?" I opened my mouth to speak, but was taken off guard when he put one on my waist and ht other behind my neck, and leaned in closer, and closer until our lips met. I tried to pull away, but he was stronger, and his words 'just go with it ' lingered in my head. The kiss was soft and gentle, not at all the way I expected Malfoy to be, and it must have blinded my rational thought because I found my self returning the kiss. After moments he pulled away, just like that, grabbed his trunk, and headed for Platform 9 ¾, leaving my standing there like an idiot. What was that? I had to know why he did that, and I had every intention of, and taking advantage of my new Head girl power an deducting 50 points from him for inappropriate behavior, but I was interrupted.

" Excuse my Miss, but do you have the time?" I heard the voice of a scratchy voiced man. I turned around to see a tall gray haired man, not old but head full of hair, he had a patch over one eye, and he was hovering over me sort of scowling. I nodded, and reached into my pocket for my time piece, and taking me by surprise the man grabbed my by the shoulders, pushing me up against the wall, holding one hand around my neck and the other on my shoulder to keep me from moving. I tried to breathe. Malfoy was right, and how could I be so stupid he was a Death eater. I tried to get free, but I couldn't move. I had no way of getting my wand, and fighting back.

'You filthy little Mudblood, you are going to die. Mark my words when he returns,"He raised his wand slowly pointing it down at me. All I could do was close my eyes, and try to figure out what to do before I lost consciousness. My head was getting fuzzy, and I could faintly hear someone shout in the background of my own thoughts

"Stupify!" The Death eater was stunned, letting me go, and I fell to the ground hitting my head. The next thing I remember was reliving visions from the war ,and slipping into unconsciousness.
