Author's Note: This is my first fanfiction, don't be too hard on me. lol. Anyways, I just wanted to say that chapters 1 and 2 of this story are also on under the name Neysa. Just wanted to mention that so it doesn't seem like I'm stealing anything. Okay, um...enjoy if you can. haha.
PS. Chapters 1 and 2 were written after HBP and chapter 3 was written after DH. Just want to say that it doesn't really matter though because I doubt I'm going to talk much about the plots in the books. This is a Draco/Hermione through and through. lol
Disclaimer: duh. I don't own any of these characters, as much as I wish I did. All of the chracters are owned by J.K Rowling
Chapter 1
Hermione stepped on to the Hogwarts Express for her seventh and last time, wondering what the changes would be for this year, seeing as she was Head Girl and all. She still didn't know who the Head Boy was and she was hoping to God it was not who she thought it would be.
She walked down the aisle until she found the Head Boy/Head Girl compartment. The door had two brass plaques on it that read, "Hermione Granger-Head Girl", and to her greatest disappointment, "Draco Malfoy-Head Boy".
This is what she had been dreading. She was not looking forward to sharing compartments on the train and dormitories at the school with her arch enemy. She decided she had better make the most of her time alone while she still had it.
She decided she would get even more of a head start on reading her school books than she already had. She opened up to her bookmarked point in the book, The Standard Book Of Spells (Grade 7), which she was already over halfway through.
Before she could even read a sentence she heard loud cursing from outside the door, and Draco Malfoy burst in to the compartment.
"Trust Dumbledore to pick a Mudblood for a Head Girl! I swear this school is going to the dumps!" Draco yelled. When he saw Hermione an evil scowl swept over his handsome face.
Hermione had never really noticed how extremely good looking he was.
"What am I doing? Thinking of Malfoy in such a way! He's the enemy!" Hermione thought.
She quickly thought of a cover up since she was just sitting there staring at him in awe.
"So, Malfoy, I see you can't even get on the train without insulting somebody within the first thirty seconds," Hermione spat out.
"Shut up Mudblood! You don't deserve to speak to a pureblood, let alone a Malfoy like myself," Draco growled.
Without even realizing what she was doing, Hermione burst in to tears. For a split second Draco looked a little guilty and sorry that he had made her cry like that. That didn't last.
"Oh, be quiet, stop your blubbering, Granger," said Draco.
Hermione didn't say a word, she just got up and walked out to try and find Harry and Ron.
"Granger, wait!" burst Draco.
Hermione turned around.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry like that," said Draco.
Hermione was flabbergasted; Draco Malfoy had just apologized to her! She just nodded to him in acceptance and ran away to go and tell Harry and Ron about what had just happened.
Draco couldn't believe what he had just done. He had just apologized to Granger...a Mudblood. He was so ashamed of himself. But yet there was still a little thought in the back of his head telling him that he still felt bad for making her cry.
"What am I thinking? I can't lower myself to feel sorry for Granger, a Muggleborn!" Draco said.
"Wait a minute...did I just say Muggleborn!?" Draco thought.
"I'm definitely coming down with something," he sighed.
Hermione ran down the aisle of the train, looking into the compartments as she went. She kept going until she saw some flaming red hair from inside one of the compartments.
"Harry! Ron! You won't believe what Malfoy just said to me!" burst Hermione, as she whipped the door open and ran in.
