PROLOGUE

There is no way out. As of right now, I am frightened and unstable. I am trapped in an abandon house. My green shirt was now tattered and torn, and blood was beginning to seep through it. My hair was dirty and I was covered in mud. Tears are spilling down my cheeks. "What can I do?" I asked myself with panic. I find a room with barely any furniture and smelled like the dead. I find a dark corner and hide.

I can see my breath which shows how cold it is. My enemy is getting closer and I can hear the evil laughs. "Where are you, you filthy Mudblood?!" shouts the voice. I know who my enemy is. I am all alone with no one to help me. Harry and everyone else are gone; probably don't even care where I am. All of a sudden, I hear footsteps. I turn around and right in front of me is my worst nightmare coming alive.

CHAPTER 1

"Dear Mum and Dad,

I miss you terribly and I wish I could talk to you. I am not getting along with anyone that well right now. I got into a fight with Harry and Ron. Ginny, well, won't really speak to me either. She is on Harry's side of course, considering she is his girlfriend. Well, I shall see you over the holidays. Write back soon.

I Love You,

Hermione"

I look at this letter and sigh. I attached it to an owl and sent it away. How I wish things were simpler. I didn't want to write everything down about what had happened.

FLASHBACK

"What the bloody hell were you thinking, Harry!?" I yelled. I could tell that his face was turning red with anger. I knew that upsetting Harry was the last thing on my mind but I just wanted to know what he was doing.

"Really, Hermione!? I would assume that you would mind your own damn business for once!" he shouted back.

"You could have gotten yourself killed! Think about somebody else for once instead of yourself!" I fired back.

"You are becoming too nosy and bossy. No wonder no one liked you that first year. We just tolerated you because we (Harry and Ron) felt obligated to. Ron and I agree on this topic. So…..butt….OUT!!!"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It felt as if I had been struck across the face. The hurt was unbearable. I decided not to shed any tears in front of him. "Be careful what you wish for, Harry, because you might just get that." I turned around and left. And that was when I shed the crying shame.

Present Day

Thinking about that still hurt. Harry still speaks to me from time to time, but I know it will never be the same. I look at the clock. I better go. It's almost time for class.

I hurry down so I wouldn't be late for Potions. Walking at a fast pace as I was, did not realize that anyone was coming towards me. I suddenly fell to the ground. "Watch it, Granger." the voice said. I looked up and realized that I had bumped into Draco Malfoy. Oh how much I hate him!!!

"What? No mudblood today?" I snarled.

"Well, well, well. Somebody is not being respectful. Anyway, I have no use for calling you that. You are a waste of my time. However, you should show some decency towards me or…."

"Or what?" I sneered.

"Oh, you'll see. Better watch your back, Granger, see that Potty and Weasel no longer watch out for you. See you in class."

As he walked off, I swore that I saw a twinkle in his eye. He is definitely up to something. I need to find out what. And, plus, I was shocked that he was not really rude. I realized then, I was going to be late. I entered the classroom and took my seat. When class begun, I realized I was in for a big surprise.

This is my first fanfic. So try to be nice. If you have any suggestions, that would be great.

Please post your ideas of what the surprise should be. J

Just to let you know….I do plan to write a Draco and Hermione romance, but I want to build up to it. Thanks.
