BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!
Suddenly a hand flew out from under the covers slamming the top of the alarm clock, barely managing to hit the snooze button. "Thank God", thought Hermione as she rolled over to go back to sleep.
"Wake up sleepy head! Breakfast time, you don't want to be late dear", she heard a voice call from the kitchen.
"5 more minutes mom..." she replied, yawning as she snuggled deeper into her covers.
Suddenly the curtains were ripped open letting sunlight stream into her bedroom.
"Ugh..." Sleepily rolling out of bed Hermione opened her eyes to her mother standing with her hands on her hips smiling lovingly at her daughter.
"Up and at 'em dear, we've got a long drive to the train station so its time you got up." Seeing that Hermione was indeed finally awake she left her daughter to get ready and bustled away to finish breakfast.
Yawning Hermione slowly got up stretching as she surveyed her room. Upon entering her room the first thing one would notice would be the amount of books there were. She enjoyed reading more than anything else, and the amount of shelves that lined her wall proved it. A large bookcase stood in the corner near the window, where sunlight streamed in onto her bed. Her comforter was blue and green, her to favorite colors, and had a white teddy bear leaning against the pillow looking worse for wear. The bear had been a gift from when she was born and she took it every where with her, even to Hogwarts. Thinking of Hogwarts a small smile crept onto her face. She couldn't wait to see Ron and Harry again. She hadn't heard from them since school had let out for the summer. Looking over her shoulder she saw that her clock read 7:25am. "Crap I'm gunna be late!"
With that she raced into the shower.
Turning the tap the water shut off as Hermione stepped out into the steamy bathroom. Grabbing a towel she paused in front of the mirror to look at her reflection. Two chocolate brown eyes stared back at her through a tan face framed by long curly brown hair and a smile played on her lips. She had gone through a great deal of trouble to control her wild mane and was very happy with the results. Her gaze lowered to the rest of her body. She was not large on top, in fact she was very tiny. She had a small waist, small bust, and long legs. Even though she had grown into her body to become a very pretty 17 year old she still was embarrassed by her lack of figure. Sighing she reminded herself that this wasn't the time to wallow in self pity and continued out to get ready.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the other side of London, a young man was getting up as well. Getting out of bed winced as his feet touched the cold marble floor. Walking into the bathroom, he smirked at his reflection in the mirror. Two ice blue eyes stared back at him full of mischief. Draco Malfoy had always been known as hot, but now he was beyond that. Slightly long platinum blonde hair was usually gelled down but was ruffled from sleep. His body was toned from the many hours of quidditch practice, standing 6'1 he was what ever girl dreamed of. Smirking even more at the thought of every girl at Hogwarts fanning over him, Draco continued into the shower. "Well this should be an interesting year at least; they always said your last year is your best...hmmm wonder who I'll catch this year" He thought as he dressed.
"Draco! Hurry up" the sharp voice of his father called from the hall
"Yes Sir" Draco replied quickly murmuring a levitation spell to his trunk, hurrying out of his room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione pulled her luggage through the barrier to Platform 9 ¾. Searching through the crowd of people she found the two she was looking for.
"Harry! Ron!" Hermione screamed racing towards them. Dropping her bag she flew to Harry who picked her up and spun her around.
"Mione! I'm so happy to see you. How have you been? We haven't heard from you all summer" cried Harry placing the girl in his arms safely back on the ground. A second later she was giving Ron a bear hug. "I missed you both so much!" Laughing both boys smiled at the girl in front of them. "We missed you too" They replied "Lets go find an empty compartment" Ron said as the trains whistle blew. As they began to walk away Hermione had the weirdest feeling that someone was looking at her. Quickly scanning the crowd she saw no one among the crowd of people. With one last glance she disappeared through the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Draco walked smoothly through the barrier into the sea of witches and wizards getting on the Hogwarts Express. Instantly he found the two people he was looking for. Crabbe and Goyle stood near the train talking animatedly about something. Probably food thought Draco as he walked over to them. Crabbe and Goyle suddenly stopped their conversation when they saw Draco. Smirking "Don't let me interrupt, please by all means continue..." Glancing at each other and then back to Draco Crabbe and Goyle continued their conversation. "So umm...what did you do over the summer?" "Ummm I like eggs?" "Cool" Draco turned away with a look of disgust "Why do I put up with these fools?"
Suddenly two pale chubby arms snaked around his waist as someone hugged him. "Drakie! I missed you soo much why didn't you write to me?" squealed Pansy sickeningly. Draco tried to hide how much he wanted to gag as he tried to pry her arms off him. "Get off of me Pansy!"
"What's wrong Drakie?" Pansy pouted. Draco just scowled
"Harry! Ron!" someone screamed
Draco turned around to see a pretty young girl being twirled around by non other than Potter. Usually he would have turned away instantly at the sight of his arch foe, but something about the girl made his stop. Her smile of glee as she ran into Harry made his stomach twist into a knot. She was laughing as the-boy-who-lived lifted her high in the air her hair gently framing her face with soft curls. For some reason...he couldn't take his eyes off of her. Earth to Draco! Hello! Its Granger ...the mudb-
"Drakie what are you looking at?" asked Pansy in a hurt voice. Suddenly Draco came crashing back to reality as he realized who he was staring at. Shaking his head roughly he turned to look at they person who had captured his arm. "Nothing that concerns you" he replied coldly shaking his arm lose. With that he turned swiftly walking away to find an empty compartment with Pansy and the two idiots not far behind.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione followed Ron and Harry to an empty compartment and threw herself onto the open seat. Using her elbow to prop her up she eyed her two best friends. Harry was taller now, about 6'0, with the same messy hair that just barely covered the lighting bolt scar on his forehead, deep green eyes, and his friendly smile that always made her feel like nothing bad could ever happen. Ron had also grow taller and topped Harry by 3 inches, he had a mass of dark red hair that matched his temper, more freckles than you could count and his lopsided grin. Hermione smiled as the two began to argue over Quidditch, Ron's arms flailing around. Shaking her head Hermione looked out the window at the passing scenery lost in thought. She had no idea what was in store for her this year but she hoped it was something exciting. She also wondered who had been given Head-boy and –girl. Usually they were sent out in the mail but this year they were told that it would be announced at the opening banquet. Hermione could hardly wait, she wondered if she would get the job. With this she slowly slipped into a peaceful sleep as the two boys next to her noticing that she was asleep lowered their voices to heated whispers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In another compartment Draco was deep in thought as Pansy desperately tried to get his attention.
"What on earth was I thinking? Granger of all people...She was so beautiful though, her smile just breath taking and how she glowed in the sunlight...wait NO NO NO... FILTHY DIRTY MUDBLOOD that's what she is! She is not beautiful...well I guess she is really but...She doesn't even have curves in the right places I mean come on...But she doesn't need them to be beautiful...UGH! She's a Gryffindor! Potter's best friend!...Why didn't I notice how pretty she was before this? Six years of tormenting her and her friends and I never once noticed how amazing she looks...STOP! I am Pureblood! The likes of me do not touch her kind!...right?"
Draco sighed and put his head in his hands.
"Drakie darling are you ok? Is there anything I could do to make it better?" asked Pansy in what she probably thought was a seductive voice.
Draco winced at her scratchy voice. "No Pansy" he replied coldly. "I have a headache and your voice is making it worse. I am going to take something for it and then go to sleep without ANY INTERUPTIONS!"
As Pansy pouted Draco walked out of the compartment in search of a quiet place to relax.
