So, brace yourself for the longest A/N in the history of A/N's, but a lot of it will be my full length summary of the story. So, here we go.

This isn't what I'm supposed to be writing now. I should be working on my 1D story or my MBAV story or my HOA story, but I really want to start this.

I have been wanting to write this story for about a week now, but I just haven't. This idea was born from watching fanvideos that were brilliantly strung together. They are my total inspiration and help me do what I do every step of the way, so I do greatly appreciate them.

I don't know if this idea's been beat to death or if this is the first fic to be written or what, but I know I have like 19 fanvideos in a playlist called "Dermione" with videos that sort of follow along the lines of where I'm going with this fanfic. I think it's going to be really good. Personally, I'm looking forward to chapter 19. :D

Summary:

Draco's always been Hermione's worst enemy apart from the Dark Lord himself. For five years he's tormented her, calling her a "moodblood," and playing adversary to Harry, Ron and herself.

That is until sixth year. The trio witnessed something. An induction or ceremony of some sort. Harry becomes obsessed with the idea that Draco Malfoy is now a Death Eater and Hermione concedes to discover the truth behind Malfoy's Boo Radley like behavior.

Surprisingly though, upon close encounters with the Slytherin Prince, Hermione indeed sensed a change. Witty, sarcastic Draco Malfoy had become a vindictive yet sniveling prat. There was a sadness inside him that scared her. Being who she is, Hermione only wants to help, but, as always, things get complicated.

This first chapter will have absolutely no Draco. Don't be fooled, he'll come in soon enough. This is starting like exactly where the movie started. NOW. let me clarify. I read the books. I loved the books. But it's been like 5 years since I've read them. So for sanity's sake, I'm going off the movies. Get over it *she says with an angel smile*

"Hermione?" Ginny asked from her perch on the edge of her bed. She was sitting with one of her legs underneath her body, Quidditch magazine balanced across her legs. She was wearing her favorite pajamas, Gryffindor gold and crimson, and was currently peering over at me through the long beams of light streaming through her window. "Is Harry coming soon?"

I shrugged, glancing over her shoulder to inspect the Holyhead Harpies posters that wall papered her walls. "I don't know. I haven't heard from him all summer." I answered, allowing myself to fall back onto the bed that was now standard in Ginny's room, always made and ready for me as Harry's was in Ron's room. I'm beginning to think that bed will go unoccupied this summer.

"Oh." Ginny answered, running her fingers through her shoulder length ginger hair. She didn't respond, simply flipping the pages of her magazine thoughtfully, not allowing herself enough time to process the words she was "reading" so I knew something was up.

"How're things with Dean?" I asked, not to be spiteful, but because I was interested.

She shrugged, glancing up at me before shoving the magazine from her lap. "They're fine." She answered simply before dropping her feet to the floor with a near silent thump. "I'm going to go…get some water." She muttered, pushing through the door and onto the landing, rounding the corner to the stairs.

I sighed, slipping off of the bed and letting out a near silent sigh. Quietly, I ambled into the lue to brush my teeth. The house was quieter than normal, probably because the twins weren't there exploding things in their bedroom, but the silence was calming. That was until I heard Ginny's voice pierce the silence and leaned over, spitting the tooth paste into the sink with a frown. "Mum!" Ginny was calling through the house and I heard Molly's voice responding.

Frowning in confusion, I thrust the bathroom door open and leaned over the railing on the landing. "Did I hear Harry's name?" I asked, quirking an eyebrow at the sight of Ginny standing on the bottom floor, talking to Molly who was stationed on the second landing, hands on her hips.

"Did someone say Harry?" Ron asked from just above me and I looked up to see him hanging over his own railing, expression laced with confusion.

Ginny nodded, tipping her head up to look at her brother. "Is he up there with you? Apparently he's roaming about the house." She commented, laughing quietly.

"Looking for me?" Harry asked from behind Ginny and we all turned to look at him, grinning. I turned, immediately barreling down the stairs and moving in to hug him once Ginny pulled away from his embrace.

Molly walked off of the landing, smiling at us and hugging Harry for herself. "Harry, dear, we didn't know you were coming."

Harry laughed, nodding. "I didn't either-Dumbledore." He answered, grinning slightly as Molly laughed along with him.

"Oh, that man." She answered, sidestepping so Ron could hug Harry with a grin.

An hour or so later, we were sitting on the floor of Ron and Harry's room, talking quietly about a little something and a little nothing, just passing time, getting reacquainted after a summer of being apart, but it was a simple process. Hardly necessary.

I'm aware this chapter is really short. It's really like an introduction. Chapter 2 is Diagon Alley:D We all know what happens there…who we'll get to see for the first time :D Review and I'll keep writing…
