Full Summary: Ginny Weasley is getting married in Venice and the only way for Hermione to go there is by taking a twenty-four-hour train ride. And somehow, Draco Malfoy- the person she has not seen for the past four years- is the person she has to share a compartment with. But what happens when they both miss their train? How will they ever go back to Venice without killing each other first?

Old Summary: Funny, wasn't it? How they were complete opposites of each other — their heritage, lives, everything. But they both enjoyed the little things in life like earl grey tea, the smell of new books and parchment. Somehow they got stuck next to eachother on a twenty four hour train ride. How funny indeed.

Train Rides

Prologue

One did not need to be a genius to figure out that Hermione Granger did not enjoy flying. Whether it was the latest broom or the most elaborate seat on an airplane, she detested flying. Maybe it was something about the wind slapping on her face, the air clogging her throat, and the site of the fragile little houses that seemed so far away that made flying a rather ghastly experience. Of course Harry and Ron thought she was absolutely peculiar but after being friends with her for almost 11 years, they had finally given up on making flying a pleasant experience.

Therefore, when Ginny Weasley (soon to be Potter) announced that she was getting married in Venice and Ron- her ex-boyfriend- was to fly her there, Hermione thought that the red head witch had gone completely mental. The awkwardness between Ron and her had simmered down, but its remnants were still present. Often, after exchanging a word or two, the two would settle into a heavy, stiff atmosphere. Ron was still sour about the breakup, but he had done too much damage to talk to her.

Ginny, a witch that came from a relatively poor family, was set on making her wedding elaborate, elegant . And what was more elegant than getting married in a city whose name itself conveyed poise and romance. Naturally, she had forgotten the fact that her entire family lived in Devon, England which was exactly 1137.7 miles from Venice.

Hermione had immediately ruled out driving for she had to pay for gas and she was positive she couldn't drive for 17 hours without any human company. Of course, the fact that she was not a good driver was also considered. Flying obviously was not an option. The only remaining choice was to take the train.

Yes, it took almost an entire day to get there but at least she would have someone to talk to. And that's how she found herself walking down a two feet wide passage way, one arm carrying a sweater and the other carrying a green luggage. She walked fast, a tiny bubble of excitement forming as she approached her cart.

She peeked inside, observing the tiny space with a pleased smile. There was a large window between the two seats, each of which were long enough to be used as beds. There was a flimsy barely-there curtain between the two seats for privacy and tiny wooden slabs attached to the wall to be used when eating.

She shifted in, hauling the bulk of a luggage with her. The smell of chocolates hit her and a smile tugged her lips as she recalled the Hogwarts Express. How she longed to be on that train again…

Sighing wistfully, she lifted it up to the seat and unzippered it. Her hands grazed the contents inside - underwear, jeans, a satin dress- before it finally rested on top of her blanket and old copy of Hogwarts: a History. Humming softly, she pulled them out, failing to notice the lacy black panties that had fallen softly on the floor.

"Wingardium Leviosa," she murmured quietly and grinned at it floated to the shelf on top of her seat.

"Never pegged you as someone who would wear lace and black."

She spun around, her eyes widening at the site. There stood Draco Malfoy, leaning against the door with his sodding smirk and an amusing glint in his eyes.

"Here, take your panties."

AN: Hey guys! This is my first attempt at writing a fanfic so please bear with me. I'm sure this is littered with errors. I'm trying to find a beta, but I'm noy sure how everything works here. Draco and Hermione are such iconic characters and I'm trying my best to not make it to OC. Please read and review! Thanks!
