A/N: This is a sequel to Senseless. Normally I HATE sequels because I feel that if you want to keep writing, fan fiction is short enough as is, so just keep it on the same story. However, I thought that 21 chapters can be slightly overwhelming, a really excellent story I read was over 40 long (and short) chapters, but they were updated slowly (like mine) and I had to go back and read everything and I didn't know where to start. I don't want my story to become overwhelming at all, so I made a sequel. I hope no hard feelings!

Note: I started writing this before the 6th book came out, and for it to make sense I'm following my own storyline, so in a sense this is a little AU.

If you didn't read Senseless, I suggest you do! But if you're too lazy to go back and read 21 chapters, I totally understand. In summary…

ooooooo

Hermione Granger was attacked and raped by Seamus Finnigan (who was teamed up with Ronald Weasley). She was saved by Draco Malfoy. After this she breaks up with her boyfriend, Harry Potter. This is perfectly fine and the two stay friends as Harry dates Ginny Weasley. There's some tension between Draco and Hermione, but it's unsure as to whether it's real or from a Love Potion that was slipped in the pairs pumpkin juice one morning. Harry can't bear to tell Hermione that Seamus and Ron were behind the attack, and finally Draco tells her. Hermione attacks Ron and then Seamus and Ron are expelled and are both sent to Azkaban for 10 and 5 years respectively. Hermione harbors no hard feelings towards the Weasley's in general. At the end of the year Draco realizes he loves Hermione but he is a Death Eater and the son of a Death Eater and she will never love him. Hermione admits nothing to herself but it's hinted at that she feels some sort of attraction to her. Most of the school is oblivious, the teachers know, but the rest of the school only knows that Hermione was attacked, Malfoy seems nicer, Seamus and Ron are gone, and Harry and Hermione broke up after the attack.

Alright, well I'm terrible at summarizing things but those are the basics or whatever. I hope it's somewhat helpful so you maybe won't have to go back and read the entire story (although I sincerely hope you do because in my opinion it is much better than that ugly paragraph above!). Anyways! On with the story!

Careless Errors

Chapter 1

A mousy brown haired girl walked on to Platform 9 ¾ feeling refreshed from the summer. Not that it hadn't been a hard, long summer. The Order had been hard at work finding out Voldemort's plans and trying their best to succeed in spoiling them. They had been mostly successful, but not without some major losses. Her heart clenched when she though of how Hagrid, the groundkeeper and Care of Magical Creatures teacher, would not be returning to his normal posts this year, or ever again. There had been other injuries, deaths, and troubles altogether, but Hagrid's death had hit closest to home with her. She felt inside herself that she had grown. No longer did she even hesitate to utter Voldemort's name. No longer did her heart sadden when she thought of everything that had happened last year. She was a smart witch, but she was a smart girl, no, young woman, as well. Not that she was completely over anything, by far she was still dealing with everything, but she was strong and had the support she needed. This little comfort did wonders for her and she felt at rest with herself. Voldemort may still be out there but she was as adult as ever and ready for him.

Outwardly the girl looked not very different then she had last year. Her face seemed to have matured and almost altogether lost the childlike look some teens had, and she did in fact look much more like an adult in this aspect. However, her bushy brown hair was as wild and tangled a mess as ever, and her pink chapped lips were as excited and lively as ever to spout off the ever growing mountain of information she always seemed to hold in her mind. She had grown a few inches and gained a pound or two, but nothing out of the ordinary for a girl of her age. She had undergone no miraculous changes, no amazing wardrobe readjustments, no plastic surgery or magical reconstruction. She was the same as ever. She was the same Hermione Granger.

A tall, slim blindingly blonde boy stepped out of a compartment on a rather unique train. As he stepped into the corridor, he noticed a group of people, mainly Gryfindors from the looks of their robes (which most had already changed into, though the journey was only halfway finished), talking loudly and excitedly, laughing and being rowdy with old friends farther down the corridor. He dusted any imaginary particles off of his badge that had two large letters on it, one being H and the other coming after it and being a B. He strode over to them and coughed. A few noticed him and chuckled slightly before looking away. Obviously, he thought to himself, they had not seen the badge on his chest. He puffed his chest out with his hands clasped behind his back and coughed louder gaining several more people's attention. They ignored him however and went back to listening to someone in the center tell a story.

The boy, now upset at this intense and obvious ignorance of a superior near them gave up the coughing fit and said loudly for the people in the nearby compartments to hear clearly,

"What is the meaning of this?"

For the most part the group stepped slightly to the side so the person in the center could be seen clearly and explain the excitement. The two's eyes locked and the thoughts going through the blonde haired boys mind were flying at a speed he'd never imagined possible, and had he been a more sensitive person, he might have fainted. However, keeping his manliness, he stood and stared the other figure down. The only question that not flitted through Draco Malfoy's mind was, what was he supposed to do now?

ooooooo

Hermione found the compartment that Harry Potter was in. As she walked in she realized he was not alone. Ginny Weasley was cuddled against the shoulder he had bared towards the window. Across from him sat Neville Longbottom in what seemed to be a deep conversation with Luna Lovegood, a Ravenclaw with the knack for being so out of touch with what most people thought was normal, that she quite frightened most away and was thought of as crazy. Hermione sat down next to Harry who opened his eyes, and she jumped, thinking he'd been asleep. He gave her a small smile and motioned for her to try and be quiet because the girl on his shoulder was sleeping soundly. She nodded her head in understanding and turned towards Neville and Luna. Neville had turned his attention towards the window in obvious defeat of whatever Luna had been trying to convince him of. Luna had a sort of dreamy smile on her face and when she caught sight of Hermione's badge she nodded and then said,

"Ah, so I see you've managed to capture a Wartlin and handed it over to the Ministry? A shame, I would have enjoyed studying one! I suppose that badge is enticing though…the Ministry only gives those badges of award to people who have captur—"

But she was interrupted by Harry's laughter as Hermione's mouth was gaped in amazement as she said briskly.

"If you must know, I got this badge for being Head Girl! Not for catching a-a Wartyaling!"

Harry's laughter increased tenfold until he was shaking so hard in an attempt to control himself that Ginny cried out angrily.

"Oh what, are we there already?"

Luna looked at her calmly and replied.

"No, of course not, Harry's just been attacked by a Woozle. They're known to be attracted to compartments in trains and luggage racks. They like to attack their victims when no one's expecting it and when it's most bothersome. They thrive on causing laughter. But if we don't laugh or act bothered, they'll find some way to squeeze through the compartment door and find some one else to attack."

Ginny stared at her for another moment before looking at Harry with laughter in her eyes.

"Well," she said, obviously trying to control her laughter, "we'll have to try, and, well, act unbothered so as no…other, um, what were they called again? Woozlets?"

"Woozles," Luna said eagerly with the same dreamy expression splashed across her face.

"Right," Ginny said, still trying to control the giggles that seemed about to erupt from her. As she thought to herself, this laughter was so strange that maybe their were Woozles!

At that thought she burst into a fit of hysterical laughter where she was joined by Harry and Neville who also both seemed to find the situation extremely funny. Hermione smiled and chuckled a little to herself, even if it was only at the sight of two grown men and a young women almost rolling on the floor with mirth.

Luna shook her had sadly.

"Ah, well, the Woozles can get the best of people."

Hermione chuckled more and then heard yelling from outside of the compartment. She stood up suddenly and the laughter faded she began to throw open the door when a voice froze her very thoughts.

A/N: Ahaha ok so guess! Who is it? I thought it was obvious but who knows! I hope you like it so far! Read and review! I love reviews! A lot, and oh so dearly!

By the way, I'm not sure which way I want this story to go, I can't decide with how graphic I want to get or if I'm going to keep it strictly rated for language. But for now it's under M because the other story is and I don't want to change the rating in the middle of the story for you!
