Chapter 1 of True Love:
Hermione Granger, the smartest student in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, sighed in distress.
For the whole summer, she could not recall a time when Harry Potter was not on her mind. Harry Potter, her best friend, and one of the most famous wizards in the wizarding world was a handsome man and almost all the girls were in love with him.
He could have almost any girl he wanted, so Hermione knew that Harry wouldn't choose Hermione. There were lots of other beautiful and charming girls out there, and when they were compared to Hermione, Hermione would most definitely lose.
After working hard in sixth year, Hermione was finally rewarded, as the Head Girl in seventh year. When she had received the letter, she was so happy, that she whooped with excitement and pranced around her house, wearing her pajamas.
She really wanted to ask Harry out, but every time she was on the verge of asking, "Will you go out with me?" he would smile, and she would soon forget everything she was going to say.
Hermione shook her head. "You really are pathetic, you know?" she thought to herself.
"Tap, Tap."
Hermione turned around to see Harry's owl, Hedwig outside of her window.
Hermione let Hedwig in and Hedwig flew gracefully into her room, and landed on her dresser. She stuck out her left leg, where the letter was attached.
Hermione's heart pounded as she opened the letter.
Dear Hermione,
How's your summer? The Dursleys' are as mean as usual, but they let me do my homework now. I have pretended - pretend Hermione, so don't be worried - to hex Dudley, if I couldn't do my homework. Ron and I will be going to Diagon Alley on Aug 27. I'm allowed to go to the Burrow for the last week of summer. If I don't meet you there, I'll see you on the Hogwarts Express on September 1st.
Oh, and thanks for the birthday gift! How did you know that I would want one? Wow, I can't believe you would actually give me a copy of one of Krum's Quidditch books!
Hope you had a good summer. I also hope you relaxed a bit. Ron and I still don't understand how you can do so much homework!
Love, Hermione smiled again, and rolled her eyes at the last sentence in the letter.
Harry
She wrote a response to Harry, and sent Hedwig off.
Sept 1.
Hermione found an empty compartment inside the train and settled herself in. She took out her Muggle book "As Long As We Both Shall Live" by Lurlene McDaniel, and began to read.
Hermione was so absorbed in her book that she didn't notice Harry and Ron Weasley, her best friends come in.
They sat opposite her and began talking about Quidditch. Hermione finally looked up and noticed them, when Ron started to yell about how awesome Chudley Cannons was.
"Oh, hi you guys. How was your summer"
"It was fine, but you know living with the Dursleys' isn't my typical favorite thing to do" said Harry, rolling his eyes.
"Mine was fantastic! I got to visit Charlie in Romania, and I saw the Chudley Cannons play"
"Lucky" growled Harry.
Hermione laughed and said"Well, m"
She was suddenly cut off by the drawl of a familiar person.
"Well, well. Here's the mudblood with her two body-guards, Potty and Weasel."
Harry and Ron stood up fuming, and Malfoy smirked. Malfoy had been the golden trio's worst enemy since the first year of school at Hogwarts.
"Granger, I was sent to tell you to meet in the first compartment" said Malfoy.
"Why you" demanded Hermione, with a scowl.
"I'm Head Boy in case you were wondering" and with that, he stalked out of the compartment.
Hermione sighed as she said her "good byes."
She thought with disappointment that Draco Malfoy was head boy.
But she had to admit that he had grown better looking over the summer. His shoulders were broader, and he had become taller. His eyes were a deeper shade of gray, and his hair changed from yellow to pale white. If he had known, he had a smile that could make girls swoon over him.
But all in all, he was a Malfoy, Hermione's worst enemy.
Meanwhile
While Hermione was thinking, Malfoy was too.
"Jeez! Why'd a mudblood have to be Head Girl? But I've got to admit, she'd grown into a woman over the summer" thought Malfoy to himself.
Hermione's hair had grown sleek and straight, no longer bushy. She'd gotten curves in all the right places, and she'd gotten a tad bit taller.
But all in all, she was a Granger, Malfoy's worst enemy.
