New Beginnings

'Fucking oath, two minutes after we leave London and there is already a fight happening.' She thought.

Hermoine gradually made her way towards the crowd, which was now filled the small aisle of the train. The conflict she knew was between Gryffindor and Slytherin always was. What really pissed her off now though was that she was the one that had to deal with it and also she had to do it alone.

"Okay, everyone. What is going on here?" Hermoine asked loudly, as she pushed her way through the dense crowd. She finally reached the middle, where two young second years are standing, wands out, looking like they are ready to pounce. Hermoine slightly giggled at the thought of second years duelling. It was pathetic.

"Now boys, what seems to be the problem here?" she asked politely. The Slytherin boy quickly turned his head, wand still facing the Gryffindor.

"This stupid Gryffindor believed he could sit in this compartment, when he clearly knew it was ours." He angrily told her, "What's it to you anyway?"

"Excuse me. You shall address me with some respect. I'm Head Girl and I have to deal with your punishment for causing this." She said sternly. No one was going to walk over her this year. She had changed.

"Now you have two choices," she continued. The boys lowered their wands knowing it was over; the crowd began to disappear slowly, some staying to await the punishment.

"Firstly, I can escort you both when the train arrives at Hogsmeade and take you straight to your Head of House, let me assure they will not be happy to deal with this so early in the year or you can decide who has the compartment and the others find another and if you can't do that civilly then I'll make the decision for you." She finished, looking at the both. The boys stared at her then at each other.

"You can have the compartment we will find another," said the Gryffindor. The Slytherin just smirked and entered the enter compartment closely followed by all his friends. The Gryffindor's turned around and began looking for another empty compartment.

'Oh I so didn't need that, where is Draco? He is supposed to be helping me, being Head boy and all. ARR! He wouldn't have helped anyway, probably would have made things even more complicated.' Hermoine thought as she rubbed her head, feeling a headache forming.

Draco stormed down the aisle, he just couldn't deal with Pansy right now. It was over, she knew but why did she always have to make him want her. It drove him mad, the seductive looks, the slight touch of her hand on his thigh, always flooded back memories of past experiences. Something he definitely didn't want again.

"Fuck her. I don't need her anyway." He said aloud, as he walked straight into that stupid mudblood Granger. He looked at her, as she rubbed her shoulder, she must have tried to pass him but failed. She had changed, her thick bushy hair was now tamed, straight and layered falling nicely on her shoulder and it was coloured a nice chocolate brown, bringing out her eyes and if he was not mistaken she was wearing make-up. That was not all, maybe he hadn't noticed it before, but she had filled out, the look of her body sending shivers through him.

'Jesus Christ, what am I doing? I definitely should not be thinking about bloody Granger but god she looks so good.' He thought shamefully

He pulled himself together and watched as she slowly raised her head. It wasn't just her looks that he noticed she stood confidently almost intimidating. She glared at him, letting him now she was really annoyed.

"Malfoy," she hissed. "Where have you been? I had to deal with some stupid kids already today and I needed your fucking help!"

"Oh there, there Granger." He said patronizing her. " I'm sure you handled those kids well and for me, I was preoccupied." He smirked.

"Your such a fucking dick Malfoy," She replied angrily before storming past him.

He swiftly turned his head as she walked past. Catching a glance at her arse, fitting nicely into her muggle jeans.

'Oh god,' he thought, ' what does she expect from me? She knows what I'm like, she really can't think I would act any different just because its final year.'

Hermoine stormed back to compartment, furious. To find Ron sitting alone, with a bunch of lollies and wrappers around him, this is what she needed to calm her, normality. Ron looked up from his lollies, he had been deciding which one to eat next, he faced changed when he saw Hermoine it was a look of confusion.

"What's wrong 'Moine?" he asked softly

"Don't even get me started, Ronald." She replied before sighing. Hermoine began rubbing her temples, knowing in about 10 minutes she would have a frightful headache. She lay down on the seat and closed her eyes

"Where is Harry and Ginny?" She asked, knowing perfectly well where they were. She also knew that it bugged Ron, having them dating, even though he was too nice to say so. She heard him groan before speak.

"Doing you know what." He mumbled. She didn't even have to look at him to know, the look on his face and he had several lollies in his mouth. This image amused her, Ron amused her but that was as far as her attraction went. As if they could here there names being said Harry and Ginny, waltzed into the room red faced and Ginny's top done up wrongly. Hermoine sat up and looked at the pair, they were cute, flushed and breathing heavily still. She quickly looked away as tears welled up in her eyes.

'I'm stronger than this, why am I being so stupid.' She thought
