Hermione step foot onto platform nine and three quarters. She was going into her seventh and final year at Hogwarts. Like things and people tend to do she had changed. She was no longer just the bookworm brains of the golden trio like she had been sense first year. A lot had changed over the summer. Nobody had seen or heard from her all summer not even Harry or Ron. She slowly looked up from the ground which she had been staring at as if nothing else could be more interesting. As she looked up she saw the crowd of happy teens and younger kids excited for hogwarts. This year is going to be diffrent she thought, a lot diffrent. She hurried to the train hoping she could get on unnoticed but things never seemed to go the way she wanted lately. The next thing she knew she heard voices calling her name asking her to wait, but she kept walking not in the mood to listen to how great everyones summers had gone. So she jumped on and disappeared into the moving crowd of students on the train looking for empty compartments. She headed straight for the head compartment, she knew the only other person who could be there was the headboy and was her best bet of being alone. Becoming head girl was one of the few things that she had going for her at the moment. When she reached it she slid the door closed behind her and let out a sigh of relief. But she would soon be disappointed.
"Well if it isnt mudblood Granger herself." spat one of the many people she had come to dislike.
"Not now Malfoy, Im not in the mood to listen to your ignorance." as she said this she turned around to look him in the eye. she regretted it almost immediately. She knew he noticed the change in her and he appeared to like it. Her hair was now straight and higlighted in reds and blond, it had many layers and framed her face. She wore green eyeshadow and black eyeliner, she was in a military green tank top and camo short shorts because the weather was still extremely hot, and to top it off she was wearing her steel toe combat boots. her bust and expanded considerably over the summer, and Draco seemed to be under the empression that her legs went on for miles.
"There was nothing ignorant about what i had said, you are a mudblood and you are Granger." He replied hoping to get her riled up.
"Like i said nothing but ignorant you insuffrable asshole, and for your informantion it isnt Granger, so fuck off." she spat.
"Well well well what do you know the mudbloods got a mouth on her."
Hermione was she about to tell him exactly what she thought when the door slid open and Harry and Ron appeared. Hermione let out a soft groan of annoyance but Malfoy was the only one who seemed to notice.
"Hey Monie how was your summer?" Harry asked as him and Ron sat next to her much to draco's and secretly Hermiones annoyance.
"Oh it was fine." she said putting on a fake smile, while thinking to herself you would know if you bothered to get your heads out of your ass at all this summer. Secretly she blamed them for everything.
Ron scooted closer to her and put her arm around her, she cringed back slightly feeling uncomfortable being that close to him. she had known for a long time that he had liked her, for a while it was mutual but like everything...it changed.
"Mione i wanted to ask you something." Ron finally said as he leaned in to give her a peck on the cheek. suddenly things started to flash before her eyes, things she wished to forget.
she felt his hand brush across her cheek as she bit at him to get him away.
"You stupid bitch you will pay for that."
the man had short curly brown hair, he was a hefty man strong and drunk. He got like this almost every night now and it tore her apart inside, it had until now at least. Now she felt no pity for this man only anger and confusion.
"It is your fault she died, you deserve this." The man spoke again.
"How can you do this, Im your daughter for christ sake." she sobbed out.
"You are no more my daughter than the girl next door." he growled angerly. Then he did the one thing she could never forgive him for, one more thing to the list of disasters that summer. He stole the only part of her innocence she had left.
She couldn't take it anymore. SHe stood up abruptly and tried to shake the memories away. She collapsed into a heap on the floor and began to rock back in forth repeating to herself 'this is not real'. ROn and Harry quickly fell to the floor beside her and went to put a hand on each of her sholders and ask what was wrong. the miniute their hands touched her she screamed.
"DON'T TOUCH ME, GET OUT GET OUT GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME." shocked the both left trying to figure out what they had done wrong. she balled her eyes out for a few more miniutes with Draco staring at her trying to figure out what he should do, just when he thought he should ask if she was alright she stood up and brushed herself off. She wiped the tears from her eyes while mumbling to herself. Draco couldnt quite hear what she was saying but her heard bits and peices.
"Better than this...control...not part of him...got revange..." and then she got a little louder as she encouraged herself and he could soon make out full sentences.
"I hold all the cards in my hands now..." She abruptly stopped as she remembered she was not alone. She couldnt give away to much to soon. She had to protect her secrets.
"Are alright mudblood, or have you lost your mind?" Draco questioned.
Her eyes flashed with rage and he soon regretted saying it.
"If you ever insult me again it will be the last thing you ever do." she spat.
"Is that a threat? You shouldnt speak back to your superiors. It could come back to bite you in the ass."
"Thats not a threat Malfoy its a promise and you should take your own advise." she spoke as if she knew something he did not. he was just about to respond when Professor McGonagall walked in.
