Hi again.I just read so many D/H fics.*sniffs*.they're so sad..*bursts in tears*.Ah well, I thought, I should try one.here goes.

BTW.thanx to every1 who read my other story and bothered to review it.it's not working.I can't log on!! *boo hoo*

Rating: PG-13, I guess Category: Romance/Humor/Angst?? (later on dudes, I have to see whether you like it or not, but this is kind of an introduction) Paring: Draco/Hermione.always go for the impossible.not sure yet though. Disclaimer: What's mine is mine, what isn't, isn't.

Before I start, I highly recommend reading Melissa D's story - We'll always have Paris.she deserves at least 5000 reviews, come on pplz, and Their Room, by aleximoon - I like that name, cos my name's Alex.Oh, and the Copper C@t.

Chapter 1: (I gotta keep it a surprise, cos it's a surprise)

"Wow!"

Harry had just received owl post on the train, but whose owl it was, he did not know. Quite strange if you think about it. Draco Malfoy was normally receiving all the mail, but never on the train. He felt, somewhat, triumphant at this, but why? Harry put the feeling down to nerves and the excitement from his birthday.

The message read, "Make your way to the back cabin of the train."

Where were Hermione and Ron? Harry Potter, PI, better start investigating.

************************

At the back cabin of the train.

"Quick!!!!!" Hermione shrieked, "I think he's coming!"

All the Gryffindors were holding a surprise birthday for Harry. They had gotten up extra early, to set up the train. Decorations, balloons, presents, and Ron's favourite, the food. There were Bertie Bott's beans, Chocolate Frogs, tankards of butter beer, pumpkin pasties and tons of sweets from Honeydukes. To top it all off, Hermione had brought a famous muggle "delicacy", mudcake (mmm *licks lips*.my favourite).

At that moment, who should walk in but Malfoy, Draco Malfoy. He always had to make a nuisance of himself.

"I didn't know I was so popular among Gryffindors," Malfoy explained in mock surprise.

"We don't!" Hermione snapped. "For your big fat information, it's a surprise belated birthday for Harry!" *sticks her nose in the hair, turns around to face the rest of the Gryffindors*

"Potty?! I didn't know he had a birthday!" Malfoy replied shocked, in a sarcastic tone. Secretly, he was laughing his head off, but that was his personality, the Malfoy personality, to make fun of.

(Now I've started laughing. Yesterday, I went to my friend's house, and we were defacing this Harry Potter poster, changing his name to Hairy Pottyhead.lol)

"By the way, his name is Harry. He, at least has a brain, and knows your name!" Hermione glared triumphantly at Draco Malfoy.

"At least I'm not stuck with that poor redhead over there," Malfoy said, jerking his thumb in Ron's direction.

(It's payback Ron. Quicksilver made me fall in love with Ron (not exactly), and she put me saying "Freckles are cool!!", making me sound like a blonde bimbo (no offense blondes), so yeah)

"Speak for yourself Malfoy, stuck with those useless idiots, Crabbe and Goyle!" Harry had overheard all of this conversation.(Harry just spoke BTW)

This seemed to shut him up. Draco stormed out of the carriage, making his way to the front one. Potty and the Weasel will pay, dearly. Suddenly, his brain lit up with an idea.TBC.

***************************

"Sorry Harry, he ruined your surprise birthday."

Harry grinned. "Don't worry Hermione. It's just great that you all thought of this for me. Remember, it's the thought that counts." (kinda corny/cheesy, but I like it)

Everyone tucked in to the food after singing Harry "Happy Birthday". It was Harry's 8th year at Hogwarts (remember - my story). The food was great, especially the mudcake (mmm - imagine Homer Simpson).

"Present time!" Hermione called.

Harry and the rest of the Gryffindors rushed over to the presents. Hermione noticed something was not right. The presents she and Ron had given him were missing. Malfoy, she thought, curse him.

"Ron, I need to speak with you quickly!" While Harry was opening his presents, Ron's face was becoming bright red, then blue, then purple! Hermione was panicking. Normally, Ron wouldn't get as angry as this, but he will never learn, she thought. There's a time for everything.

"Harry, Ron and I have a present, which we want to give to you later."

"Thanks heaps, Ron and Hermione."

*****************************

In Malfoy's train carriage.

Draco was thinking to himself.

So that goody goody Granger thinks she can get away with insulting the Malfoy family name, she better think again. Granger needs to learn some respect. She will pay..

TBC.

A/N: I hope you liked that.I would like to thank my beta reader *drum roll.* the Copper C@t.
