Disclaimer: I sadly don't own the amazing Harry Potter. I'm just playing around for the fun of it. This chapter has been updated!

Chapter 1

Hermione's POV

"Hermione, dear, time to get up," said Mrs. Granger.

"Okay, mum, I'll be down for breakfast in a minute," Hermione called back.

Hermione then finished putting the last of her clothes and books into her trunk and turned to her mirror to take a look at herself.

She had really changed over this past summer. Her hair, not frizzy and crazy as it had been, now hung in lovely, neat curls. She had also grown a few more inches, making her height 5'9".

Hermione then decided to go downstairs and eat breakfast.

As she sat down she started to think of all the things that were going to happen this year: Voldemort was dead (thanks to Harry) and there would be no trouble with the Dark Arts; school would be peaceful; and sadly this would be her last year at Hogwarts, unless one of her professors let her become their apprentice. As Hermione finished her breakfast her parents came into the kitchen after they finished load the car with her trunk.

"Hermione we need to leave in about half an hour if we want to have enough time to shop at Diagon Alley and then make it to King's Cross on time for you to be able to get through Platform 9 ¾," said Mr. Granger.

"Okay I just need to finish breakfast, brush my teeth and get my backpack ready," replied Hermione. "Oh and when Ron wrote me the other day he said that his father would love to meet up with you again."

"Wonderful, that man is so kind just like Ron," stated Mrs. Granger.

"Okay well I'll going to go finish packing and getting ready," Hermione said while putting her bowl in the sink.

"Okay," her parents called.

About an hour later Hermione and her parents were walking through Diagon Alley.

"Mr. and Mrs. Granger, Hermione," called Arthur Weasley.

"Hello Mr. Weasley, sorry to make this short but I must be on my way to Flourish and Blotts, goodbye," Hermione then turned to her parents, "Mum, dad, I'll meet you at Madam Malkin's in a hour and a half."

"Okay darling," her mum replied.

Just as she was leaving Flourish and Blotts, she heard a commotion, which seemed to be coming from the alleyway right next to the shop. Hermione looked around quickly then headed into the alleyway.

"Well, look here, the Malfoy kid," said one of the voices.

"Yes well, I say we give him a taste of his own medicine," the other voice said.

Hermione had heard enough. She knew that Malfoy was more than capable to handle a couple of assholes. But then she heard a yelp of pain and laughter. Hermione turned on her heel and drew her wand and pointed it at the first man.

"STUPEFY," she turned her wand on the other, "STUPEFY!"

Hermione than turned around and rushed to Malfoy's side.

"Malfoy are you okay?"

"Yea I'm fine just…wait, why are you, Granger, helping me?"

"Because no one, not even you, deserves to pay for what their parents did," she said looking Malfoy in the eyes. "Plus if I would have left and not have helped you, they could have done worse."

"So, you just saved my life?"

"Sure, but I don't expect you to ever do the same for me," and with that Hermione got up and walked away to find Harry and Ron and then head for Madam Malkin's.

Draco's POV

Draco turned and watched Granger walk away. He then turned and looked at the two men. He didn't recognize them.

"Granger just saved me," Draco thought to himself.

Draco knew what that meant. Because she had saved him he now owed her. As he slowly got up he smiled to himself, maybe just maybe he would be able to change people's views of him and maybe get new friends.

Thanks for reading chapter one. This is my first story ever so please review.
