MUST READ FIRST OR YOU WILL BE CONFUSED: ok well my story is of course AU and it's a mix of harry potter and west side story (well just the idea not the actions and stuff) I have made some changes in this story based on the characters. One harry is a Slytherin and Hermione might be more independent but I'm not sure yet so don't complain to me that she acts different. Two Hogwarts is going to be a bit different because of the hold gang thing its more tuff basically. Three I'm not sure if I want the war to be a part of the story if I decide I want to add it I will be still undecided. Fourth Viktor Krum goes to Hogwarts and is in Hermione's year.

WARNING: there's probably going to be some Weasley bashing (prob not on the twins just Ron and Ginny) so no flames about that if u don't like it don't read it! Ok I no this is long so I'm going to shut up now and get on with the story!!

DISCALMER: I don't own harry potter or west side story

-----------------------------Default Chapter -----------------------------------------------------

"Bye Mom, Dad!" screamed Hermione Granger hoping her parents could hear her over the train whistle. Hermione was the brightest witch her age, she got all her homework done on time, aced every test she took and knew the answer to any question you through at her. Her once bushy untamed hair was now smooth and always in perfect ringlets. She had grown up a lot over the summer and couldn't wait till her friends could see you (she really just wanted to see the shocked look on their faces!).

She wasn't the tallest girl in the world standing at only 5'5 so she had to stretch to try and see over the crowd to find her friends. While she was looking someone ran into and she fell to the ground with a loud thud!

"Watch where you're going imbecile!" screamed Blaise Zabini non other than the third in command of the Slytherin gang, the "Snakes." (Tehe go figure right!) Not only was he in the Snakes but he was one of the Slytherin Sex Gods, well one of the 3.

"Me! You're the one that ran in to me!" Hermione shot back. Blaise took a threatening step towards her but before her could do anything her friends Ron Weasley and his sister Ginny Weasley stepped in.

"Back off you Snake scum and don't you dare come near her ever again!' Ron threatened. Now you might think the only reason the two hated each other so much was because Blaise was of course from Slytherin and Ron was from Gryffindor. Well you would be only partly right, the main reason they hated each other was the fact that Ron was the "leader" so to speak of the Snakes rival gang the "Lions." (Yeah I know not original but in the movie it's the Jets and the Sharks so I wanted to keep it simple!)

Of course Hermione that the stupid fights the two gangs got into were pointless and she didn't see why they both couldn't just coexist but of course they all just stared at her like she was an idiot when she brought that up. So she learned to deal with it because she realized it was better to deal with and have friends then go against it and have none.
