Prologue
When Hermione was born her parents knew there was something different about her from the other kids. She could make things appear that she really wanted and make bad things happen to people who were mean to her. Her parents couldn't figure out what was wrong. Hermione had just gone into grade school and already has been getting into a lot of trouble from her magic.
Trouble with School for Hermione. Wow, Did I just say that?
"Mrs. And Mr. Granger this is the 4th time in the last two days I had to call you down about something supernatural Hermione did. This is herandus I have never had to deal with a kid like this in all my years of teaching!"
"Please ," Mrs. Granger started. "If you could just get on with it."
"Alright. Your daughter has tied a kid to the flag pole without even touching the kid!"
"Well if you didn't see her touch the kid then how do you know it was Hermione?" Mr. Granger asked trying to defend his daughter.
"Well she admitted to it, as she always dose. Then she apologies to kid saying she hadn't had clue what she was doing. Yeah right to do something like that you have to know what you doing, it doesn't just happen."
"Actually. Mrs. Dollson," Mrs. Granger said. "I talked to Hermione
and she said what she tells you is true that she can't control it, and it just happens. She said most of the time it happens when shes mad at someone but even than she still cant control what happens to the person shes angry with and she cant controls how she feels I mean that poor girl gets teased so bad from all this, of course shes gana be mad at the people who say things her."
"I want that girl out of my school! Shes a men-us to society!"
"But-"
"Fine! " Mr. Granger says
"Daniel!" Mrs. Granger crys.
Mr. Granger stands up. "Our Hermione will be fine without this stupid school.
Mark my words Hermione is destined for great things! I don't know what those great things will be but they'll be coming from her! Our little girl has a gift and you and ur school are acting as if it's a curse."
"You are absolutely right!" Mrs. Granger says chiming in.
"Were leavening" mrs. Granger gets up out of her chair and her and her husband head towards the door.
"Send me a post card from wacky town!" the principal calls out
They leave the office and on the bench outside the principal's office was Hermione sobbing. Hermione was a small little girl with light brown long curly hair like her mothers and dark brown eyes like her father. Her mother had gentle blue eyes and light brown long curly hair that almost never was down. Her father had short brown hair and dark brown eyes.
"Why dose this have to happen to me all the time! Why me?"
Her mother gives her a hug of comfort.
"I just want to be normal like all the other kids!" Hermione says still sobbing.
"Sweetie you'll be ok." her mother says patting her back.
"Your father and I will love you no matter what. We know you're a good kind and wouldn't do anything to intenically harm anyone. Isn't that right Daniel?"
"Of course! You're an intelligent person Hermione and I'm sure your destined for greatness. Things these num skulls couldn't even imagine."
"Really you think so daddy?"
"Absolutely!"
"Thank you." she says hugging them both.
The Silver Lining
The very next day Hermione began to try and control her magic she figured if she wanted to obtain greatness she had to know how to use her powers properly. Her parents supported her in this they felt embracing her abitlys instead of being ashamed of them was a lot better for her, but the reality of it was she wasn't gana be able to teach herself to control her powers she needed someone to teach her. So her parents called many people doctors, psychologists, even a few magicians to find out what could be happening and how or who could teach her to control her magic.
Eventually they find a doctor who they told there story to and he asked them to come in. they walk into the doctors office Mr. Granger was holding Hermione in his arms, Hermione was pretty scaried. "Hello!" the doctor says.
"I'm doctor Snidson; you must me the granger family! Very nice to meet you." he says shaking Mrs. And Mr. Grangers hands. The man was very tall with short brown hair and green eyes.
"You must be Hermione." he says looking at Hermione who was holding on to her father tightly not even looking at the doctor.
"Yes this is her." her mother says stroking Hermione's head.
"Shes a little scaried." Mrs. Granger continues. "She probably thinks your going to hurt her or something."
The doctor laughs. "No were just going to do a few very simple fun tests."
Mr. Granger lets Hermione down so she can go with the doctor to take her tests but as soon as he lets her down she runs to her mother.
"Don't be afraid Hermione," the doctor says kneeling down to her level. "Your not so different from everyone else in fact theres a lot of people a lot like you."
"There are?"
"of course…ur never alone in this world theres always at least one other person going threw the same thing you are. I promise you Hermione I understand what your going threw and I only want to help you. I`m a doctor, you can trust me."
Hermione takes the mans hand and she goes into the room where the doctor gives her a series of tests.
The next day doctor Snidson calls invites them back to the doctors office and tells them as he suspected Hermione was a witch.
"We aren't exactly sure why certain kids with muggle parents get witch craft abilities." doctor snidson says.
"But it happens very often."
"Muggle Parents? Whats a muggle?" Mrs. Granger asks
" oh I`m sorry you just get used to some phrases you know. Its nothing bad really it isn't it simply means a person with non magic ability."
"Oh."
"Anyways whats happening to your daughter is really quiet normal, usually witches start to experience symptoms of having powers around 1 year old some even earlier and those are usually the most powerful ones."
"how do you know about these witches we went to over 21 other doctors and psychologists and they all told us our child was some kind of devil child." Mr. granger said
"You poor people. Well see I'm a wizard myself which is really the same thing as a witch. see most muggles don't know about wizards and witches unless they know some one who is a wizard or witch but most of those people unfortunately aren't doctors and even the very few who are they aren't usually trained in the wizard medical arts and there for are not qualified to determine if some one is of a magical creature or purely insane. That's why I got into this business see when I was younger I went threw the same thing people thinking I'm insane, getting in trouble for things I couldn't control, feeling alone. I I wanted to be the one to stop that from happening to kids and help them see ur not freaks your truly gifted."
"See what did I tell u." Mr. Granger says to Hermione
"Do you know where we may be able to find a teacher to train Hermione to control her magic?"
"Well many private tutors are very expensive and in my opinion not worth the money. But there are many magic schools in the wizarding world the nearest one would probably be Hogwarts but Hermione's only 6 and wizards and witches are not allowed at Hogwarts till age 11 as do most wizarding schools but they do have many books you can buy in this place called diagon alley in the wizarding world that will teach ur daughter how to do spells and everything."
"Well that would be great but Hermione could barley read yet."
"they have grammar schools in some of the wizarding towns but of course you'd have to move there…where's my wizard Cities and towns book?"
He says looking threw his books on a shelf in the lobby.
"So mom can I go to one of the grammar schools in one of the wizarding towns please please pretty please?"
"…I don't know dear…I mean it would be a awful lot of work to just pack up and move and pulse me and your father have our jobs"
"Of course sweetie." Mr. Granger told Hermione
"Oh thank you! Thank you! thank you! Thank you!"
"Here it is!" Mr. Sniderson says from the lobby taking a giant book from the shelf. He opens it and a hologram of all the wizard towns pop up out of the book.
"Oh my goodness!" Mrs. Granger cried
"Wow!" Hermione says with amazement and wondering eyes.
"Hum…lets see…right here" he says pointing at a little town
"Glodrics hallow could be a perfect place for you guys. It's not that far away from where you guys are living now, the school districts very good and they are very muggle tolerant there. I would highly suggest moving there."
"Thank you doctor you`ev been a huge help to us." Mr. Granger says
"Oh no problem just doing my job." the grangers head out, they pay the front desk for the doctors services and leave. A family very similar looking from behind comes in.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" dr. siderson says. runs out into the lobby and starts talking to the look alike whom he thinks are the grangers. "I'm glad I caught you. if you cant get a house in glodrics`s hallow anyplace would be fine except for monder valley. There very against muggles there and most people in that Neborhood support the dark arts."
The family turns around "what the hell are you talking about?" says the tall women.
The grangers are in the car driving home.
"what are we going to do about our jobs? and seeing our friends and family? What a fine mess you`ev got us in Daniel."
"Edna it will all be alright I-"
"No it won't! What am I going to do for work we can't work among them we have no powers! And what if these freaks try to attack us we'll have no way of defending our slefs I mean Hermione can't protect she blows everything up."
Hermione starts to cry
"Edna!"
"I'm sorry sweetie mommy didn't mean it."
Hermione's crying even harder
"look Edna we could keep our jobs here in London, the wizarding town didn't look that far from here, we'll have to wake up earlier but so what and if it will make you feel safer we can buy a gun just incase."
"alright that sounds fair."
Later that day Edna calls to find out about getting a house in goldrics hallow.
"What do mean theres no houses left?"
"theres no more where very sorry but so many muggle born wizards and new wizarding families move to golrics hallow we literally ran out of room."
"Ok well I need to enroll my daughter in a grammar school for wizards!"
"Well theres other wizarding towns mam how about living in monder valley they seem to have a few houses on the market."
"Well hows the school district and the people?"
The school district is the best out of all the wizarding towns, they learn very hard magic at a young age indission to reading,writeing and math skills."
"and the people?"
"the people are very classy."
"Alright sounds perfect. can you send an e-mail with pictures of the houses for sale."
The women laughs.
"I can show you the houses over the phone."
"how?"
Suddenly a color hologram of the houses comes out of the phone.
"Ahh!"
"We have 6 houses for sale in the area so to see the first house press 1 to see the 2nd house press 2 and so on and so on."
"Ooo I love house number 4! Ooo but house number five has a backyard." Edna puts the phone on the counter. "Daniel!"
"Yes?" Daniel yells from the living room
"Help me pick a house."
"Alright, hold on."
Edna picks up the phone. "I forgot to ask how do you get to this town anyways can you drive there?"
"Yes mam," the women on the phone answers. She then proceeds to tell Edna how to get to monder valley. Daniel finally enters the kitchen.
"Which house do you like better house 4 or house 5 dear?"
"House 5 defiantly.'
"That's what I thought too." Edna says. She talks into the phone "We'll take house number five."
"Alright. Would you like to move now or later?"
"Later of course we still have to pack yet."
"Alright then you don't have to get snippy"
"Me snippy? How rude? She hugs up!"
The Malfoys
The grangers packed there belongings into the big moving van one by on. Putting a few things in their car but not much. The big moving van followed there car to monder valley. It was a very beautiful town really, everything was so big and fancy and most everyone had flowers.
"I think this is going to be a wonderful town to live! Don't you think Daniel?"
"Definitely. What do you think Hermione?"
"Look theres some kids casting magic over there. Can we go and watch?"
"No sweetie we have to try and blend in with these new people and randomly walking up them and watching them do magic I'm sure they wouldnt like."
"Ok mum." Hermione sighs.
"Look theres our new house." Mrs. Granger cried
"Hermione take your bag of toys from inside the car into the house with u." her father says.
"Ok daddy." Hermione runs into the house very happy. She felt this was finally going to be her chance to feel she fit in. a place where she could feel understood, a place of joy and happiness and fun.
Draco is looking out the window boredly. Narcrissa comes in and looks out the Window and sees the grangers moving there stuff into their new house. "Look Draco, we have some new nebhors. We should go over and welcome them to the neaborhood."
"Do we have to?" Draco groaned
"Yes. Come on Draco they seem like good people and maybe they have a kid your age whom you can be friends with."
"I have friends already mom crab and gyole."
"Come on Draco lets go! It's better than sitting around the house all day!"
"fine."
narcissa and Draco walk across the street to the granger's new home.
The grangers where still unpacking there things from the truck.
"Hi my name is Nacrissa Malfoy," she says to who was holding a box in her hand from the truck. Nacrissa had long bletch blonde hair with black strecks in it she and wore a old fashion looking green dress. "I live across the street with my husband Lucius and our son Draco, This is Draco by the way." she says ruffling Draco`s hair. Draco looked to be about Hermione`s age but taller than her. Draco had blech blonde hair and blue eyes. "Well I just wanted to welcome you to the neaborhood and wanted to let you know if theres anything you ever need don't hesitate to ask."
"Oh thank you. My name is Edna Granger, my husband Daniel is the man in the blue shirt putting boxes into the house. "Daniel! Come say hello to our new neaborhoods." Daniel walks over holding the box he was about to bring inside the house with him thinking he would just say hello and then countine. "hello, I`m Daniel Granger."
"We have a daughter, Hermione I think she's in the back." mrs. Granger says pointing towards the backyard. They hear a sudden BOOM! From the back yard. "Yeah she's definitely in the back"
Mrs. And Mr. Granger drop there boxes and run to the back to see what happened narcissa and Draco follow. "Hermione are you ok?" Mrs. Granger asks panicked
"Yes mum I'm fine."
"What were you doing?" Daniel asks
"I was trying to create an original poison."
Nacrissa starts to laugh "what an imagination this one has!"
"Yeah…" Edna says awkwardly
"Oh my gosh! I complety forgot I scheduled a nail appointment for today and its already….." look at her watch. "3 o'clock! Come on Draco lets go!"
"Awww do have to go with u?" Draco wines. "Yes. Your fathers not home yet and Ur too young to be staying home by urslef."
"Come on!" draco wines.
"You know we can watch him for you if you'd like." Edna offers.
"Really?"
"Yeah sure. I mean were not doing anything besides unpacking and Hermione could use someone to play with."
"oh thank u! Now Draco you be a good boy till mommy gets back ok?"
"Ok mom."
Nacrissa gives Draco a kiss .
"heres my cell phone number if hes any trouble just call and I`ll pick him right up."
"I`m sure he wount be a problem."
"but if he is just call."
"alright I will."
Narcrissa head to the door. "good bye everyone."
"Draco this is Hermione." Edna says. "Hermione this Draco. If either of you needs me I'll be in the front or in the house unpacking."
"Ok mom." Hermione says. Mrs. Granger leaves.
Draco looks around the yard. "Wow you are so stupid. U know that don't you? You can't make an original poison unless Ur a master of poisons."
"Well sorry I didn't know?" Hermione answers solemnly.
"Where'd you say you were from muggletown England?"
"Excuse me but im new at this! I doubt that you can do any better!"
"I cant I just said witches and wizards who aren't poisons masters cant create original poisons stupid girl."
"I didn't mean with creating an original poison! I meant with magic!"
"Oh. I can do way better than you in magic."
"Well let's see then."
Draco takes out his wand and waves it, while focusing his veiw on rock and saying "win garden leviosa!" suddenly the rock starts to levitate. "Oh my gosh! That's so cool!"
"I know I'm awesome."
"Can you teach me how to do that?"
"Uhh….sure….I guess." Draco takes out his wand. "So basically you take ur wand and do a flick and swish motion and simpley say win garden leviosa."
"Ok" Hermione get ready to do that with her hand.
"What are you doing? Ur supposed to use ur wand."
"Well I haven't gotten a wand yet."
Draco rolls his eyes. "Here you can borrow my spare wand."
"Thank you."
"whatever." rolls his eyes yet again.
"Why are you so ubnoxish?"
"Excuses me?"
"You herd me!" Hermione answers bravely even thought in side she was so scaried. "you act like ur better than me just cause ur better in magic…well that may help fight people or do cool tricks to show up people but that's not gana help you socially I mean you keep acting like ur "Mr. King of magic" your never gana make friends and if you do they won't be real ones only ones who fear you or feel sorry for you."
There was a really long silence, and then Hermione spoke. "I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for? I'm the one who should be sorry I acted like a jerk and a big one for that matter. I mean I can't expect to make friends that way, but I was always thought that if you made ur self seem better and bigger than everyone else that you would be successful and popular. It kind of sounds like an incredibly stupid theory now hearing my self say it out loud." Draco pauses for a second. "Can we start over?"
"Sure." Hermione answers.
"Hi I'm Draco Malfoy, I live across the street." Draco puts out his hand to shake hers
"It's nice to meet you," Hermione says shaking his hand. "I'm Hermione Granger, ur new nebor." they both smile.
"So do you want to try the levitating spell out?"
"Ok so is it like this?" she dose a flick and swish motion with her wand and says "win garden leviosa."
"Almost but you got say it with more feeling and you got a focus on the object you want to levate."
Hermione nobs. Hermione focuses on a pebble in the back yard, she felt she should work with a small object first. She Dose the flick and swish motion with her wand again. "Win garden leviosa!"
The pebble leavates in the air! Her mom enters the back yard.
"Look mom! Look!"
"Oh my gosh! How'd you learn that?"
The pebble falls intently for now she is no longer focusing on levitating it.
"Draco taught me." she answers simply
"I'm so proud of you!" Mrs. Granger says hugging Hermione.
"Thank you so much Draco we really appreciate you teaching her some magic." Mrs. Granger says. "Hey I got an idea why don't I take you out for ice cream!" pauses. "Wait they do have has cream places here right?"
"of course." he turns to Hermione "they have this really cool flavor at this ice cream shop called Waldoe`s Ice Cream called the 5 topper and its five different flavors in one scoop!"
"That's so cool!" Hermione replies
"I know!"
"Then they have this other flavor where you pick three topping and then with every bite the toping changes."
"Wow!"
"I'm gana go see if I can find directions to this place on the internet it sounds very interesting."
"Ok mom." Hermione answers.
Mrs. Granger goes into the house.
Hermione and Draco kind of just stand there awkwardly not knowing what to do next. "hey do you wana play wizard chess?" draco asks
"wizard chess? whats that?"
"You`ev never herd of wizard chess!" draco says extremely shocked.
"no."
"Well have you ever played normal chess?"
"of course."
"well its pretty mutch that only a little different you`ll see as we play."
"ok." she says shrugging her sholders
Draco gets his mini wizard chess set out of his pocket. Then sets it up on the ground.
"wana be black or sliver?" draco asks
"sliver." Hermione responds
"I`ll go first." draco says "knight to E9" his knight piece moves to E9 on its own.
"wow!" Hermione says "Knight to B6!" her knight moves to B6 on its own.
They play for a little bit then Hermione`s mom finally comes out.
"King to G4, checkmate." draco says. The king gets up from the chair he was sitting on and with is showrd smashes Hermione`s king.
"that's so awesome!"
Draco laughs.
"kids I found the ice cream place! its in the next town over." mrs. Grager says "draco I called ur mother and she said you could come with us to the ice cream place if you`d like."
"cool!"
"so will you come?" Hermione asks.
"sure." he answers
"great!" she says hugging him. Draco is very cach off gaurd by Hermione`s hug so as Hermione hugs him he has sort of had a "what the hell" face on. Hermione`s mom drives them to waldoe`s Ice cream place, from the outside it looked like a typical nothing special muggle ice cream place, but as they walked in what the saw was far from typical. The floors they where real ice, The walls looked as if they where made out of ice cream sandwiches and to the side as you entered there was a foutin of vanialla ice cream. They had buckets of all sorts of candy and ice cream all Hermione had never seen in her life. "this is so cool!" Hermione says in amazment.
"they used to have a talking polar bear that would greet you at the door guess they got ride of him." draco shrugs.
"a talking polar bear!"
"kids its freezing in here. lets get our ice cream and get out."
"ok mum." Hermione answers. The three of then walk to counter where a friendly old men in a big puffy caot took there order. Draco got the 5 topper and Hermione got the vanailla pixie ice cream. It was vanialla and had a purple stripe down the cown and a pixie wand standing straight on the top of the ice cream. As the man hands hermione the ice cream he notices that she seemed kind of disappointed that her ice wasn't as cool as dracos. "you know if you flick the wand on the ice cream something really cool happens."
"really?" Hermione replys
she flicks the wand and suddenly a pixie comes out of the wand and makes a rainbow then flys off on a mini unicorn that it makes apear.
"that's so cool!" Hermione says as she then starts to eat her ice cream.
"but how do the faries feel about being trapped in that wand?" asks of the men.
"I don't think they care very mutch mam I mean we`ev done this for years."
"I`m sure these faries have feelings too. Come on kids lets go you can finish ur ice cream in the car." Mrs. Granger heads toward the door with Hermione and draco following behind with there ice creams in hand.
Then they get home and there ice creams have been finished. Hermione says draco.
"Hey wana play and hide and seek?"
"Whats hide and seek?" he replys.
"You don't know what hide and seek is?"
"No. is it some kind of Qudditch Related game?"
"No. Whats Qudditch?"
"You don't know what qudditch is! It's only the most awesome game ever!"
"I can't believe you don't know what hide and seek is, it's so fun!"
"Ok so how do you play this hide and seek game?"
"Well one person hides and then the other person has to find them. Then once that person finds them then they have to chase them around and try to tap them on the shoulder or back."
"Sounds fun! Let's play!"
"Ok you hide and I'll find you."
"Ok." Draco then runs to go find a hiding spot and Hermione goes to count by the house.
"1...2.…3.…4...5.…6.…...7...8...9.….10.…11.…12...13.…...14.…..15.….16.…..17.….18.….19.…20! Ready or not here I come!"
Hermione looks around the backyard for Draco, she keeps looking for a really long time and she couldn't find him. She was beginning to think he just left. She sits on a rock in the back very sad she really thought Draco was gana be her first friend. "Boo!" goes a voice from behind her. Hermione jumps and looks behind her, and there was Draco.
"Where were you?"
"In the tree.."
Hermione smiles and friendly shoves him. "I thought u left without saying goodbye."
"well that wount be too nice."
The door bell suddenly rings. The kids run to the fence to make sure it wasn't Draco's mom.
"Dang. Its ur mom!" Hermione says
"But I wana hang out with u some more."
"well than lets go tell her you want to stay over for a little longer."
"Ok."
The kids run into the house.
Daniel answers the door. "oh hello, ur…Draco's mom right?"
"Yes. Where is Draco?"
"I think him and Hermione are playing outside in the back."
The kids run to Nacrissa and Daniel. "Or they could be running towards us."
"Whats wrong you two?" nacrissa asks.
"Can I stay and play for a little bit longer?" Draco asks his mother.
"I'm sorry Draco," Nacrissa answers. "But your father wanted to take us to have dinner in Firewall Village and then were gana going see the dragons in Greendale."
"Ok." Draco answers sadly. "Bye Hermione, I had fun hanging out with u today."
"Me too. Maybe we can hang out again? same time tomorrow?" she replies.
"Ok I can teach u more magic too if you'd like."
"That'd be perfect!"
"Ok see you then."
"See you then."
The malfoys leave.
The next day draco came over as promised they played a combation of wizarding games and muggle games. Then draco taught Hermione the Imoblize spell.
"kids Lunch" mrs. Granger shouts from the back door of the house. Draco and hermione start to walk back to the house. "hey ur doing really good. Maybe by the time school comes around you`ll be as good as me." draco says to Hermione. they get to the house and go in and sit at the big round dinning table. "I made you both turkey sandwiches. I hope you don't mind turkey draco." edna says.
"no turkeys fine." draco response "thank you mrs. Granger."
"your welcome." mrs. Granger replays as she sits down with the two of them.
"draco taught me this really cool spell called imobilize." Hermione says excitedly to her mother.
"what does that spell do?" edna asked.
"don't you know?" draco asked surpised.
"no."
"but don't you remember the spell from when u were in wizarding school?"
"I didn't go to wizarding school, I`m not a witch Hermione is the first witch in our family."
"it's a spell that sorta freezes what ever u point your wand at." Hermione says. so Hermione is a mud blood? draco thinks to himself. But she seems so nice. My father said mud bloods where horrible racted people.
then later at dinner at the malfoy home things got….intresting.
"dad why do you hate the mud bloods so mutch?" he asks curiously.
Nacrissa looks over at luscious curious as to what he will say.
"the mud bloods are fithy creatures." Lucious answers. "They don't belong in our world there freaks of nature how does two muggles have a magically gifted child. Then those parents have the nerve to send there children to our schools and move into our towns ruining our society with there stupidity and unclassfulness and there terrifly ugly too. You`d think with all the time they supposedly spend on there looks they`d at least look decent."
"but Hermione is a mud blood," draco starts. Nacrissa gasps and Lucious`s eyes widen with fury. "that granger girl you`ev been hanging out with is a mud blood!" lucious yells.
"yes sir." draco answers. " but shes not at all like you said the mud bloods where like shes fun and kind and a good person."
"draco I forbid you to ever that granger girl again!"
"but dad shes my friend."
"no son of mine will be caught hanging out with a mud blood. Do you know what that could do to our reputation around here we`d be the laughing stock of the town."
"but no one eles knows that shes a mud blood dad."
"there gana find out sooner or later." Lucious looks over to Nacrissa. "Nacrissa, why havent you said anything on the subject. You hate mud bloods as mutch as I do, certainly you must be apolled by the fact that our son is hanging around one."
"I am, its just I was so apolled by this I couldn't talk. Draco you may never again go to those racthed peoples house you understand? If you go there you will be punished."
"anything good that ever happens to me you always have to take away from me!" draco runs to his room and slams the door. After Lucious falls asleep Nacrissa enters Dracos room and wakes him up. "draco are you awake?"
"I am now! what do you want?" draco replys.
"don't talk to me with that tone!"
"sorry mom."
"I want to tell you that I`m allowing you to coutinue hanging out with Hermione."
"really? But what about dad? isn't he going to be mad?"
"he doesn't have to know, anytime you go over to her house you tell him your going to Crab or Gyole`s house and when your at Hermione`s house make sure you stay in the back so that if ur father leaves to go somewhere or comes back from somewhere he doesn't see you playing there."
"what made you change your mind?"
"my mind didn't change I liked Hermione from the start I knew from that first day when I took you home after playing there that day that she effected you. you where a lot nicer that day at the resruant and not a little brat like you usally are. I like this Draco and I want you to stay this way."
"thank you mom." he says giving her a big hug.
"ur welcome sweetie." Nacrissa answers
The Hogwarts Express
5 years later the two are off to Hogwarts. There parents wave good bye to them as they both get on the train, sitting in different seats initially then once the train passed both there parents they Hermione moved to sit with draco.
"hey Hermione wana sit with me?" draco asks as there on the train.
"sure." hermione answers. They both sit down in the nearest sits. They wave to there parents one last time as the train starts to move.
"arent you exicted to be finally going to the legendary Hogwarts? " draco asks Hermione.
"oh yes. its gana be so cool! I mean I`ev read so mutch about it I feel like I`ev pratically been there already! but still to walk the halls that so many other great wizards did the feeling is surreal."
"I know!"draco reponses. there was a momentary silance then Hermione says.
"draco? If we don't get in the same houses where still gana be friends right?"
"of course why wouldn't we still stay friends? "
"well I was reading Hogwarts Socialogy and it said that many of the other houses don't get alone with the people from the slythren house. You said you where most likey gana get put into the sythren house cause most of ur family was put into sylthren what if I don't get slythren?"
"Hermione ur my best friend and were gana stay best friends no matter what. even if you get put into Gryffindor."
Hermione smiles. "you promise?"
"I promise." draco replys.
"good. soo did you see the new david wizard episode?" Hermione asks.
"no I missed it last week. Wha-"
"has either one of you seen a toad?" a boy asks then suddenly.
"no…." draco answers.
"oh man my grans gana kill me if I don't find that toad!" the boy says. "she spent 50 gallions on it! She didn't wana too but I begged her and I promised I`d take very good care of it now shes gana kill me!"
"well I could help you find it." Hermione offers.
"really? Thank you! I`m Neville Longbottom by the way."
"Hermione Granger" she says standing up then putting out her hand to shake his. Neville shakes her hand then they go looking for the toad. Draco goes to sit with Crab and Gyole after hemione leaves cause he didn't want to be the loser sitting by himself on the train.
After already going to a lot of people looking for the toad Hermione than asks two boy who looked about her age if they seen the toad.
"Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville has lost one." sees Ron had his wand ready about to do magic. "Oh, you're doing magic? Let's see then."
"Sunshine, daisies," Ron chants. "butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow." Nothing happens.
"Are you sure that's a real spell? Well, not a very good is it? Of course I've only tried a few simple ones myself, but they've all worked for me. For example,"
Sits down in front of Harry. "Oculus Reparo." She says as she waves her wand and Harry's glasses are magically fixed. "That's better, isn't it?" she suddenly realizes who harry is "Holy cricket, you're Harry Potter! I'm Hermione Granger." looks at Ron. "And... you are?"
"I'm Ron Weasley." he says while stuffing his mouth with candy.
"Pleasure. You two better change into robes, I expect we'll be arriving soon. Turns to leave, but then turns around to face Ron. "You've got dirt on your nose, by the way... Did you know? Just there…" goes to find Neville. " I`m sorry asked everyone no one saw your toad. Maybe he`ll turn up later."
"maybe. Thanks for helping me anyways."
"no Problem."
Hermione goes to searches for Draco.
The she finds them. "hi guys" Hermione says to Draco, Crab and Gyole as she sits down next to Draco.
" did you find that kids stupid turtle?" gyole asks rudely.
"it was a toad and no we couldn't find it."
"ha ha ha that loser." Crab says. Hermione was about to say something to him but then the train stops. They all rush to get off. There to greet them was Hagrid, a friendly giant. "all first years over here!" he shouted. They all crowd around. He Then takes them to the boats that would bring them to Hogwarts. "wana sit with me on the boat?" Draco asks.
"sure." Hermione answers.
They climb in the boat and they slowly move towards Hogwarts.
Hogwarts Houses
*AUTHORS NOTE (READ DIS B4 U COMPLAIN): I am aware McGonagall's speech is not exactly like the one you are about to hear but I cannot find her exact words online and I do not own the first book because I got it from the library when I read it. Also most likely the order of the way the kids are going to be put into there houses probably is not right but as I said, do not have the book with me ok or any of the books for that matter. (execpect the deathly hallows but that's no help with this story.) Cut me some slack I remembered most of these from memory (with help from the computer). In addition, to make my story work I had to change the order a bit too. Now back to the story.*
"Now when I call your name I want u to step up here were the sorting hat will place you into your houses. Here at Hogwarts your houses will be like homes. If you do something good you get points do something bad and you get points taken away. at the end of the year the house with the most points wins the house cup. Any questions?" Minerva McGonagall says to the first years. Nobody answers. "alright." she says opening her scroll. "Susan Byoles." Susan comes on stage and sits on the stool. McGonagall places the sorting hat on her head. "Hufflepuff!" the hat says. Everyone claps. Susan walks off stage and sits with the Hufflepuff house. "Hermione Granger." McGonagall calls.
Hermione walks towards the stage repeating out loud to herself. "Relax. Relax."
"Mental that one. Isn't she?" Ron says to Harry. Draco gives him a look that says I hate your guts. Hermione steps onto the stage and sits on the stool. McGonagall places the hat on her head. "Gryffindor!" the hat says. Everyone claps and Hermione joins her fellow Gryffindor house members at the table. "Ron Weasley." Ron walks up onto the stage scaried and nervous he sits on the stool and McGonagall places the hat on his head. "Ah!" the hat says. Ron jumps. "Another Weasley. I know just what to do with you...Gryffindor!" Ron sighs a sigh of relief and joins his fellow Gryffindor members.
"Harry Potter." walks up to the stage everyone's eyes where on him; everyone wanted to know what house he was getting into. What house was gana be lucky enough to have the famous Harry potter in there house. McGonagall places the hat on his head. "Hmm, difficult. Very difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind, either. There's talent, oh yes. And a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you?" then there was a silence.
"Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know. It's all here in your head. And Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, there's no doubt about that. No?" Then another silence. "Well if you're sure, better be…Gryffindor!" Everyone claps for him. Harry smiles. Then he walks over to the Gryffindor table to join the other Gryffindor members. "Draco Malfoy." McGonagall says. Draco walks to the stage and sits on the stool. McGonagall places the hat on his head. "Ha ha!" the sorting hat laughs. "This is a first a malfoy wants to be a Gryffindor….So you can be with your little friend. Ha ha ha! Trust me you wouldnt fit in at all in Gryffindor. why not? Draco thinks in his head. "because you don't have the Gryffindor traits." the hat says out loud. but what if I….. Draco thinks. "There's nothing you can do." hat replies. "You have the traits of a sylthrien, so slthyrns where I'll put you. But don't be to sad kid I`m sure you'll get along fine with the sthryns I promise you. Next!"
Draco walks off stage sadly and walks to the slythren table. It's not fair why did that potter kid get to choose his house but not me. Stupid old ugly hat.
Hermione runs over to the slthryn table to talk to Draco. "Draco are you ok? I`m so sorry you couldn't get in to Gryffindor, but where still friends right? Remember you promised we'd stay friends even if I got into Gryffindor."
"Of course were still friends Hermione I ment what I said I'm not letting this stupid house thing mess up our friend ship."
"good." she says hugging him. Hermione walks back to the Gryffindor table. "That sylthrn guy you just hugged is he your friend?" a girl with long straight black hair and blue eyes asks Hermione as Hermione sits down at the table.
"Yes?"
"Don't you know anything you can't be friends with a slthyrn! Its like social suicide!"
I know Gryffindors don't like slythrens but but hes my friend. What does it matter anyway I mean where all people and wizards."
"look kid I`m not saying its fair but that's the way it is trust me I `ev been thought it with my friend, she was in sythren and I stayed friends with her and then every time I`d walk into the griffindor common room people would point and laugh and call me sythren girl. Everyone in the Gryffindor house ignores me unless there mocking me or teaseing me and a lot of the kids from the other houses do the same cause they see me as betrading my house. I only have a few friends now. Do you want that to happen to you?"
"no."
"then you know what you got to do right?"
"I cant be friends with Draco." she says sadly.
"good. You`ll thank me later." the girl says. Then the girl turns around and walks toward the Gryffindor table.
We cant be Friends
Hermione is in the office getting her schedule. Draco walks in and sees Hermione.
"hey Hermione!" Draco says.
Hermione turns around then quickly back and trys to ignore him. Draco walks over to her.
"hey. Whats up hermione?"
she ignores him.
"hello? Anyone home?" Draco says to Hermione. Hermione yet again ignores him. "are you mad at me or something?" Hermione ignores him. "hello Hermione? Whats wroung with u?"
"here`s your schedule miss granger." says the man at the frount desk. Hermione takes it and rushes out.
Later as Draco is sitting in the slythren common room trying to figure out what he possible could have said to make Hermione so angrey with him, Crab and Gyole walk in with a letter Hermione told them to give to him. "whats this?" Draco asks them.
"Hermione wanted us to give this to you. She said it was important." Crab answers.
"let me see that." Draco says as he rudely snatches it out of Crab`s hand.
Dear Draco,
We have been friends for 7 years, you were my first friend and my only friend for along time. I have really enjoyed being your friend all these years but sadly we can no longer be friends. Its not that I don't like you anymore Its just I think it will better for the both us if we don't continue this friendship. See because all the other houses hate sylthren, anyone who is of a different house cant be friends with anyone from sythren . Then the whole school sees it as betraying your house. and no one is allowed to talk you unless there going to make fun of you. I cant be the freak girl again. I`m sorry draco. Good bye.
From,
Hermione
Draco reads over the letter about 6 times trying to see if it was possible that maybe he had mis inerpurputed it, or read it wrong. He hadn't what she said was what he thought she said she didn't want to be friends anymore. He throws the letter and angrily walks to his room.
