"Why is everything with you so complicated
Why do you make it hard to love you
Oh I hate it
Cause if you really wanna be alone
I will throw my hands up cause baby I tried
But everyday with you is so complicated
Oh why"
Complicated- Rihanna

Draco Malfoy looked out the window of the Hogwarts Express, starring at the spot that his mother and father should be standing on. It didn't matter how many times he imagined seeing their faces appear with their arms extended to wave goodbye. Or where his father would be giving him his firm handshake goodbye and his mother would hug him as if he will never return, form her lips into a thin line to hold back the many tears which would then resolve his father to put his arm around her shoulders to calm her down.

He shook his head for even thinking about that happening. How foolish he was on the last six years for thinking about how embarrassing it was to have his parents escort him to the train station. Boarding the train alone made him wish more than ever to have their presence on that spot and not in a cell at Azkaban.

He sighed knowing that he won't be seeing them anytime soon and looked down at the newspaper on his lap.

Lucius Malfoy and his wife Narcissa Malfoy, imprisoned for their union with the Dark Lord.

Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy have been escorted to their cells this very morning at the same time when the ongoing students would be boarding the train for school. The Malfoys have confirmed that they had been associating with the dark lord last year even at their very home. Now that he is now gone, Aurors are gathering all of his death eaters and followers. The Malfoys pleaded for not having their son, Draco Malfoy, sent to Azkaban. The ministry took their plea and let the boy finish his last year at Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardly. It is still uncertain if he would be free to roam around after him finishing school. The ministry have said that they would make their final decision when the time is near.

Draco scoffed at the newspaper, folded it up and placed it in his bag.

"Draco," said a high pitched voice behind him. Draco turned around and saw Pansy Parkinson running towards him with Goyle trotting behind.

When Pansy was just arms length away from him, she reached out and hugged him tightly. He didn't hug her back, not even caring if she was his current girlfriend.

"I'm so sorry to hear about your parents," she said in a soft tone only for him to hear.

Draco pushed her off of him and took a seat on the couch.

"I don't need anyone's sympathy, especially from you."

Pansy looked hurt by his rude words and took a seat next to Goyle whom was already devouring a full chocolate bar in his mouth. When Draco turned his attention back to the window, Pansy placed her head on Goyle's shoulder while he rubbed her back in a comforting way.

Blaise Zabini walked into the train's compartment, looked at Pansy and Goyle and shook his head while taking a seat next to Draco, not bothering to say hello to his friends.

~o~

"Can you believe it? This is our last year and we are actually going to have a normal school year," Hermione Granger exclaimed while taking a seat next to Ron. He took her hand and kissed her cheek. Harry smiled at them knowing that finally they were actually going to have a normal school year, as Hermione said it, and not worry about defeating Lord Voldemort or searching for Horcruxes.

There was a knock on the door and Ginny walked in taking her seat next to Harry.

"I thought you forgot about me," Harry said while flashing her a smile.

"Why would you ever think that?" Ginny said and kissed him softly on the lips.

A knock once again echoed through the room and everyone looked up as they saw Lavender Brown pop her head in.

"Oh, sorry. I thought this one was empty," she said while blushing. Her eyes lingered to Ron and then at Hermione.

No one bothered to reply to her, hoping that if they didn't she would leave quicker.

"Well then, bye." She looked at Ron once more and closed the door.

"Honestly mate, what did you even see in her?" Harry asked while chuckling.

"Shut up," Ron said turning pink while glaring at Harry.

Hermione laughed and turned his face towards hers.

"No worries, she's gone now," Hermione said and kissed his lips.

When the castle started to appear, Hermione took her attention away from Ron and looked around. Everyone was already dressed in their school robes, everyone except her.

"When did you change?" Hermione asked Ron while pointing to his robes.

"When I had to go to the bathroom," he replied stiffly not knowing if she was going to bark on him for not telling her to change into her robes also.

Hermione huffed and reached for her bag where she took out her robes.

"I'll be right back," she said and headed towards the bathroom in the front of the train.

Without paying much attention to the area around her, she walked past the many girls and when the bathroom came into view, someone took her hand.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Hermione turned around and looked down at some third year girl.

"The bathroom," she said while wondering why this girl was asking such a question.

"Yeah, so am I, and not to mention, so are the rest of us," she said while pointing to the endless line of girls waiting for the bathroom.

"There is no way that I am going to wait in this line just for me to change into my clothes," Hermione said and shook the girl's hand off of her arm. Hermione huffed and started to walk to the other bathroom at the end of the train.

She knew that she would be passing the section where all of the Slytherins were seating at, just to get to the bathroom. While reaching the door that held all of those snakes together, she took in a deep breath. Never again was she going to wait to the last minute to do something.

Hermione opened the door and when she stepped in, every eyeball was glued to her. Hermione walked down the endless pathway, pretending that she didn't notice all of the sly looks people were giving her.

"Why must you be such an ass!"

Hermione stopped and looked around to see if someone was saying this to her, but all of the students turned back to their conversations with their friends.

"It's either you live with me being an ass or get out of my life!" screamed a voice in rage.

Hermione recognized that voice from anywhere. Who else would have the nerve to scream at the top of their lungs not caring for what people would think. Draco Malfoy.

As the blond head came into view, she saw that Pansy and Draco were having an argument.

She walked briskly down the pathway and was stopped dead in her tracks as Draco Malfoy stood up and stormed off.

Hermione looked at Draco's back and then at Pansy. Her make up was running down her cheeks as if she was crying. Pansy looked down at Blaise and Goyle who were both looking at the window, not wanting to be part of the argument, and got up from her seat.

"What are you starring at Mudblood," she said which ended with a sniffle and walked past the line of girls also waiting for the bathroom and disappeared into it.

Hermione looked at the line of girls and sighed. There was now way she was going to wait in line. She walked past the line of girls and walked right into the boys bathroom, not caring the slightest bit.

She locked the door and gave a sigh of relief.

"Finally," she muttered and leaned her forehead against the door.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!" shouted a voice behind her. Hermione quickly turned around and gasped.

Draco was leaning against the running sink, his face drenched with water. His cold eyes glared at Hermione as if they were right about to burn a hole right through her body.

"I thought it was empty," Hermione said while looking down at the floor trying to cover up her blushed cheeks. Out of all the people that she could have run in on at the bathroom, it just had to be Draco.

"You thought wrong. Now get out, last time I checked this was a Slytherin, pure blood, males bathroom. We don't need you filthy muggleborns contaminating it," he said coldly and splashed water on his face.

Hermione got tired of this and looked right at Draco's reflection on the mirror.

"No. There's a long line just to get to the girl's bathroom and all I want to do is change into my robes." Hermione took a step away from the door and crossed her arms.

"What do you want me to do about it?"

"Leave, so then I could change."

Draco turned around and looked right at Hermione.

"You have some nerve to tell me what to do." Draco Malfoy took a step to her and starred down at her. He was so close to her that she felt one of the water droplets on his face fall on her hand. "Just for you, I'm not going to leave."

"Fine then. Neither am I." Hermione glared at him for a second and stepped away from him and faced the shower. She stepped into the shower and pulled the curtains shut. She couldn't believe that she was actually doing this.

Draco shook his head as he saw Hermione's silhouette on the curtain as she began to take of her shirt.

Hermione was halfway through from changing into her robes when the sound of the toilet seat echoed off the empty walls.

"You are not serious of actually going to the bathroom at this very moment!" Hermione gasped.

"A mans got to do what a mans has to do." Draco said slyly.

Hermione could already picture him smirking as he said that.

"I'm done, happy?" she said when in truth she wasn't. There was no way in hell, was she going to stand there while Draco peed.

Draco laughed as he saw Hermione opened the curtain with her skirt on the wrong direction and with no shoes.

"I thought you said you were done."

"Shut up, who makes you think that I would stay here while you go to the bathroom," she said while covering her vision of Draco with her free hand while walking to the door.

Once she was out of the bathroom she gave a sigh of relief and fixed her clothes, oblivious to the sight before her. Hermione looked up and noticed that everyone was gone, not a single soul was on this train.

"No!" she screamed.

The door opened behind her causing her to loose her balance and fall on the floor.

"Graceful," he said while walking over her and stepping off of the train.

Hermione gathered her self up, put all of her muggle clothes in her bag and walked off of the train also. As she expected, all of the carriages where gone.

Draco was already walking away leaving her behind.

"What are you doing?"

"What do you think I'm doing? I'm walking to school."

Hermione whimpered and looked at the night sky around her, she had no choice but to go with him.
