Lunareclipse73@aol.com Title: An Unsuspected Love Chapter: 1
Hermione walked through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 and found herself on platform 9 ¾, the platform to the Hogwarts Express. She felt a smile creep along her face as she saw the familiar crowd of students in their robes along the platform, waving goodbye to their parents, loading their trunks onto the train, and conversing with their fellow classmates. Sixth year, finally. Hermione had not thought it would come so fast but here it was, and the thought of only one more year left at Hogwarts saddened her. Oh well, she thought to herself, might as well make the most of these next two years.
"Hermione!" Hermione turned around to a familiar face calling her name. "Oh hello Ron. How was your summer holiday?" Ron placed a small satchel of money into his robe pocket. "It was alright I s'pose. Very lonely at the burrow without you and Harry though." "Speaking of Harry how is he?" Ron looked around the platform. "I don't know. I haven't heard from him since his birthday." Just then, out of the corner of her eye she saw him, arguing with his Uncle. His uncle, Vernon, then turned a very dark shade of red and walked out of the barrier. Harry walked over with a smile on his face.
"Hey Harry." Hermione and Ron said. "Hey, sorry about not keeping touch but you probably know my summer was like all the rest, looked up in my room with minimal access to my school things, and having fun terrifying the muggles." He said with a laugh. Ron smirked. "Sirius I suppose?" he asked. Harry's smile widened "Yup!" Hermione laughed. She knew the Dursleys were petrified that Harry's godfather was a supposed murderer and had escaped from prison. Harry seemed to leave out that he was innocent when talking about him to the Dursley's. The train's whistle sounded. Hermione smiled to her two friends. "Time to go."
Aboard the train Hermione began to read her 'Standard Book of Spells grade 6'by Miranda Goshawk while Harry and Ron took their chances at Bertie Botts every flavor beans. "Ugh! I've got dirt." Ron said as he spit out a bean into a tissue. Harry laughed and popped one into his mouth. "I've got buttered popcorn." He said with a smile. "Lucky." Ron said and put his beans away and opened a Chocolate Frog. Just then the door to their car opened and in walked Draco Malfoy and his goons Crabbe and Goyle.
"Well," Malfoy said with a sneer, "look who found their way back into hogwarts. Potty, the Weasel and..." he paused as he looked over at Hermione; He blinked, and looked at her as if he had never seen her before, then finished his sentence. "..and their filthy little mudblood." Ron turned slightly pink. He got up with his hands balling up into fists. "Ron, don't do it." Hermione pleaded.
Draco laughed. "Aww isn't that pitiful, the weasel has got himself a girlfriend. Wow I never thought I'd see the day. And to think, a mudblood at that! I suspect that granger here was starting to feel sorry for the poor fellow." Crabbe and Goyle laughed. And before Ron could say anything Draco left the compartment with Crabbe and Goyle. "How odd, you would think he would've come up with new insults by now?" Harry asked to no one in particular. "Oh just forget him. I'm not about to let him ruin our last two years here. By the way thanks, Ron." Hermione said. "No problem." He muttered.
Once at the school they watched the sorting of the first years, enjoyed a feast, and were finally led up to their dormitories. Their prefect led them to the familiar Fat Lady Portrait. The prefect said the password (marsh cauldrons) and then began to explain the rules to the first years. While the other years scattered around the common room finishing their catching up. After talking with a few classmates, and some jokes from the Weasley twins, Hermione plopped herself into bed feeling very tired.
Hermione walked through the dungeons of the Castle, not really knowing why she was there. "Hermione." She turned her head into the direction of the voice. "W-who's there?" she called. She spotted a shadow of a person. Probably Harry playing tricks on me again, she thought. "Harry, is that you?" "No, but guess again." Hermione turned around. "Malfoy!" was the only word she got out before he did something she never thought he would. He kissed her. And without realizing it she kissed him back, and she was enjoying it. She realized what she was doing a little too late and pushed him away. Draco pulled out his wand..
Hermione sat up in bed. Thank you god it was only a dream. no, nightmare she thought
The next day classes began and Hermione was already at the library. She noticed Malfoy at a distance, with Pansy Parkinson drooling over him as if he were a rare treasure. Then she said aloud to herself "That's disgusting, the way she hovers over him, and he loves it too. I bet its probably only because she's a ." "pure blood?" Finished a voice behind her. Hermione gasped and turned around to find Ginny behind her. Hermione turned quickly and said "Oh Ginny I didn't see you there!" she said turning very red now.
Ginny gave Hermione a big hug. "I tried to find you last night but you had gone to bed. It's good to see you again." "Yes I'm sure it is Weasel." Hermione panicked because she knew who that cold voice belonged to. She gaped at him just standing there looking cold at her and Ginny. She quickly realized what she was doing and said softly "Malfoy." acknowledging his presence. He looked at Ginny "Go away, you. I have to talk to Granger for a moment.
Hermione panicked. There was no way she would be left here alone in the library with him. She protested "No she can stay right where she is. And she has a name Malfoy." Draco looked around, and began to get nervous due to the fact that now that half the library was staring at the altercation. "Ok. Don't cause a scene."
And with that he left the library leaving Ginny and Hermione quite confused. "What could he possibly want?" Ginny asked once Malfoy had walked out of sight. " I have no idea." Hermione said truthfully. "Come on, let's go down to dinner. Ginny nodded and the two headed out to the Great Hall.
Hermione sat down beside Ron on one side of the table, and Harry sat on the other side, next to the twins. She poked at her food and barely spoke to her friends. Harry broke the silence. "What's the matter Hermione?" Hermione looked up to see everyone staring at her worryingly. "Oh nothing, just thinking about something that's all." "No surprise there." Ron said and she elbowed him in the ribs. She sighed. "Well I am going back to my room to get some sleep. I'm really tired." Harry looked questioningly at Ron and he shrugged his shoulders. "Ummm okay Hermione." She left the hall without another word.
"Ms. Granger." Hermione turned around to find Professor McGonagall. "Yes, professor?" "Ms. Granger I would like to speak to you in my office for a moment." Hermione felt her heartbeat quicken. "Am I in trouble?" McGonagall let out a small laugh. "Of course not Hermione. I have a proposal for you." Hermione let out a breath. "Ok." Professor McGonagall led the way to her office. Hermione walked in and didn't notice the small shriek that escaped her lips when she saw who was sitting in a chair in front of McGonagall's desk.
A/N: please let me know if you liked it or not. Or possibly I am doing something wrong. I don't know. This is my first fic ( so please review and flame me all you want. As long as people read it then I'm fine. P.s I won't post chapters 2& 3 unless people are reading this one because it would be pointless you think?
