Disclaimer: of course I don't own the characters, ( even though I wish I had Draco..oh I love bad boys..) they belong to JKR but the plot is mine, and um, here it is! ( don't be too harsh this is only my first try ( well second but I didn't have time to finish the other one )

Ch.1: Bye Bye Hogwarts Express

" OMG! I'm gonna be late!" Hermione practically yelled. She was frantically brushing her hair when all of a sudden

" Oh Hermione! Look at the time! You're gonna be late if you don't hurry up!" her mother yelled from downstairs.

" Uh, yea mum, I kinda already knew that!" Hermione screamed back down, frustrated at how annoying her mum could be," My mom can be so stupid at times! Of course I'm trying to hurry; can't she hear me up here? I'm making enough noise to wake the dead!!" Mione said to herself.

" Uh! I only got 20 more minutes! " she screamed. Then, she threw all of her stuff in her trunk and, after using a simple spell, made it smaller and placed it in her pocket, then ran downstairs.

Hermione had changed a lot over the summer. She even doubted that Harry and Ron would even recognize her. Now, she used a straightening charm that she learned from Lavender ( she was very grateful to have them in her dormitory, yet they could be annoying with their many questions and gossip. ) Her hair longer, ( a little more than mid-back straight ( like I said), she also got blonde and light brown highlights with hot pink tips. She was very petite, barely over 110 pounds, size 3, and filled out perfectly in all the right areas. Unlike when she was little, she now wore make-up that really brought out her eyes. Over all, she was beautiful, and could have her pick of men, except for the one she wanted: Harry, and for some reason she always felt a connection with Draco. She felt that all his name-calling was just a cover and, well, she didn't know how to explain it but she always wanted to be near him, to be within arms reach, for her to be his, better yet, for him to be hers.

" Sh!t! Crap! Fvck! " Hermione yelled as she ran as fast as she could toward the barrier, not even noticing the onlookers watching with questioning looks.
" Crap! " she yelled again as she ran and fell on top of a very cute and tall blonde.

" Oh I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't be standing in front of the barrier its just.."

They both looked at how they landed, then blushed. Draco offered his hand to the girl standing in front of him. She grabbed it thankfully and then, scaring the crap out of him, yelled, " Draco?! Uh, I-I mean Malfoy! Is that you? "
" Granger?!" Many thoughts ran through his head like ' I just apologized to Granger! ' ' OMG! I just helped Granger up! ' ' Damn! Hermione got hot over the summer! ' ' uh, did I just say Hermione? NO! I meant Granger! ' he slapped himself upside the head, with hermione giving him a confused look when all of a sudden they heard a extremely loud " CHOO!!" they made them both jump. After realizing that they had just missed the Hogwarts Express, they both whispered
"Sh!t.."

A/N: I hope you like the first chapter of my second attempt of writing a fanfic. I just HAD to write one about Draco and Hermione because they are just meant to be lol. Well sorry guys but in the next few chapters ( like once they actually get to Hogwarts ) hermione wont be with Draco YET but instead with Harry but don't worry, he'll get her EVENTUALLY. I still don't know where I'm gonna go with this story so if you got any ideas email me at Southernbabe975@aol.com and be sure to put ' Chapters for story ( FF )' in the subject and if I like it I'll be sure to add a thanx at the bottom of the chapter and dedicate that chapter to you. Hope you like! Plz r/r!
