Yayz! I finally posted my first Harry Potter Fanfic! This one is one two couples: SevurusxLily and DracoxHermione.

It's focused on both of them, but this is a DracoxHermione fanfic. I'm not one to match time periods and I change characters up, so please don't get mad or correct me if I'm wrong on those things because I know I'm wrong about a lot. Thank you ^_^x

Enough of my blabbering. I hope you enjoy the story! :D

Decision of Fate

Chapter One

New Students

Hermione's POV

"Hermione, are you almost ready? It's almost time sweetheart!" My mom called up to me.

"Yeah, I'm bringing my stuff down in a minute!" I called back in reply. I put my favorite book on fairytales into the bottom compartment of one of bags, zipped it up, and raced down the stairs with all of my stuff, or at least as fast as one could run with luggage.

"Here, I'll help with that." My dad offered, grabbing some of my suitcases and carrying them to the pair of French-like doors that led outside.

"Thank you." I smiled the best I could in appreciation, evening out my breathing.

"Your Godfather should be here in a few minutes. He wouldn't want his goddaughter to be late on her first day back." My mom joked.

"She's always too early to be late dear." My dad said, laughing at the being they created.

"Hey!" I giggled at my parents; they were the best you could ever ask for. We had problems like any other family, but we always seem to get over it fast.

"Where's my Mione'?" A deep, loving voice chuckled, opening the French doors leading out.

"Hagrid!" I ran over to the lovable man and gave him a hug.

"It's great to see you again Hagrid." My mom said, smiling at my Godfather, who worked at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry –where he was taking me.

"Good to see you Hagrid. Are you ready to take on the job of our daughter now?" My dad joked again, wrapping his arms around my mom.

"I don't know about that…" Hagrid winked at me, and I stuck my tongue out at him. "Just kidding, she is a wonderful child and it would be an honor to take on the job."

"Suck up…" I muttered, and everyone laughed.

Hagrid packed the luggage in the back of his car, I suppose you could call it, and gave my parents a hug. He gestured for me to tell my goodbyes because we needed to go if I wanted to be early.

"Well, off you go then dear." My dad said, giving me one of his bear hugs and kissing my forehead.

"Bye sweetheart. Have fun and check in with us whenever you can. We will miss you." She hugged me, her eyes misty from her only child leaving.

"We love you!" My parents cried to me once I got in the car, and when I say cried, it's literal.

"I love you too!" I called back to them. And with that, we drove off to start my first day at my new school of Hogwarts.

OoOoOoOoOo

I boarded the train that we needed to take to the school, placing one of my bags on the top shelf in one of the rooms that was empty. I took a seat, and glanced out the window. 'I'm always early; dad is right.' I thought to myself, quietly laughing. In the middle of my thoughts, the door to my room opened, revealing a girl of my age with long, dark red hair and almond shaped green eyes.

"Do you mind if I sit in here with you?" She asked with a soft, sweet voice.

"I don't mind at all. Go ahead. It's lonely in here anyway." I smiled at the girl.

She gave me a small smile in return, and put her bags on the top shelf with mine. "My name is Lily Evans. It's a pleasure to meet you." She said when she sat down across from me. "What's your name?"

"It's nice to meet you too. My name is Hermione Granger." I answered, shaking her hand. "Is this your first year here?"

"Yeah, this will be my first year, though I should be in your grade level. Is it your first year?" She asked.

"No, this is my third year. At least we both can go through this together. It's good for you to at least know one person." I laughed.

"That's true. I think we will be good friends." She laughed with me.

During the wait, and even after, for the rest of the students to board, we talked about our lives, our interests, and every random detail. I've learned that her favorite color was purple, she was a hopeless romantic, she was very smart, she likes to read and write, she likes to cook and bake, and she is a very sweet, motherly, and gentle natured person; also, she does have a red-temper too. She was a muggle born like me, too.

I can say I absolutely love this girl! We share so many of the interests and we both love to bake! I am so glad that I have made one of the best friends I could ever wish for. I can't wait to tell my parents about her. Just as we were in the middle of a conversation about our opinions over some novels that we read, a boy came in, slamming open the door. He had a little shorter than medium length blonde hair with the most beautiful bluish gray eyes. He looked at us, and realized he must have entered the wrong cabin because his face turned soft and apologetic.

He looked around both ways in the hall, and came in. "I am so sorry about that. I thought you were someone else. Sorry to disturb you." His eyes met mine for a moment that felt like a lifetime, and then he turned to leave.

"Wait," My body pushed me to say; I felt the urge to keep him here longer. "What's your name?"

"My name is Draco Malfoy." He answered. "What about you?"

"I'm Lily Evans." Lily said softly.

"I'm Hermione Granger. It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too; I hope to see you around." He winked in my direction, waved to Lily, and left, closing the door quietly this time behind him.

"Did you see that?" Lily squealed.

"See what?" I looked around confused.

"He winked at you!" She squealed again.

"Oh…that…" I blushed hard, and thought for a moment. "He so did!"

"Wow, what do you know? People are already flirting." She laughed.

I yawned. "It's going to be a while until we get there, so I'm going to take a nap. Goodnight Lily-pie."

"Okay; I might to. Goodnight Mione'-berry." She lay back on her seat.

OoOoOoOo

We arrived at Hogwarts a few minutes ago. I was sitting at my house's table (Gryffindor) with my friends Harry, Neville, Ginny, Fred, George, and their brother Ron. We were all talking and laughing while all of the new comers were being sorted into houses; of course, we would stand up and clap for each person who was sorted into our team.

Lily's POV

I was nervously standing among the crowd of students who were getting admitted to houses. There was so many of us, I thought this would take hours; to pass the time I began to look around. I saw four different sections of the students: a green one, a red one, a blue one, and a yellow one. After looking at the sections, I looked at all the newbies like me. I went to turn, and bumped into one of them.

"Oh my, I am so sorry. Please forgive- hey, you're the boy that we met this morning!" I laughed, smiling at the blonde haired flirt.

"It's okay, and yeah, it's me. It's good to see you again. You're new?" He questioned, shocked.

"As surprising as it may seem, I am new." I laughed. "You're new to?"

"Yeah, I'm new too. Well it's good to know we'll be new together." He said.

"Lily Evans." Professor McGonagall called.

"Good luck." Draco said before I walked up the stage to the professor.

Hermione's POV

Finally, it was the newer students in different years. It came to Lily, and I was on the edge of my seat to see what house she would end up in. During that, the sorting hat seemed a little confused because it started acting funny, and said a word that I dreaded, "Slytherin". I was so confused at the hat's decision. 'Why in the world would Dumbledore let the hat put that innocent girl in Slytherin? My thoughts raced in my mind, and that question continued to pop up. The Slytherin got up and clapped of course, and Lily shyly walked over and sat by herself; I could tell she saw my expression, so she knew it must have been a bad team.

After things cooled down and I began to pay attention again, it came to that Draco boy that we met on the train! When his name was mentioned, a mass of whispers flooded throughout the room, especially on the Slytherin side. Who really was this boy?

Calmly, he walked up to the stage and sat on the stool for the hat to make a decision. The hat said the house that was a dead giveaway from the whispers: "Slytherin". He smirked, and the room grew silent. The silence was broken when everyone from Slytherin jumped up and cheered for him. He slowly got up and sat with his table, around people like Crabbe, Pansy, and Goyle.

My eyes grew big and my jaw dropped when I saw what he did. 'I cannot believe him!' My mind screamed. Lily saw me and kind of laughed, but shook her head when I looked at her in disbelief.

"Hermione, what's the face for?" One of my friends, Ginny, asked me while observing me.

"Oh," I turned back around to the group and conversation I left. "I'm sorry. I was just lost in thought. Face? What face?" I tried to get her off that, but she didn't believe me.

"I know there's something up, but I'll wait until you tell me." She said bluntly, snuggling closer to her boyfriend, Harry.

"Who is that boy?" Harry asked, watching my gaze drift to the lying imbecile.

I didn't answer because I was so absorbed in my thoughts while I supervised him from a distance. Harry nudged my shoulder and I looked at them, blinking a few times. "Yea, I agree with you."

"Agree with what?" Harry asked, dumbfounded.

"What?" I asked confused.

"What?" Harry questioned, even more dumbfounded than before; however, he quickly shook the confusion off. "Who is he?"

"Who?" I questioned him this time.

"That boy you keep looking at." He answered.

"Oh, you mean that one. All I know is that his name is Draco Malfoy and that he, as of now, is a Slytherin." I answered, which was what everyone knew at this point in time.

Harry gave me a funny look because of my answer. "Is that it?"

"What else am I supposed to know about the lying jerk!" I screeched.

"Well, I thought you would know more since you keep looking at him devilishly and you called him a lying jerk. Why do you say that?"

"That's not important, but all I know is that the imbecile should stay away from me and Gryffindor if he knows what's good for him."

"Okay." Ginny said, shocked at my sudden outburst. "So who knows about him?"

"His father is Lucius Malfoy, one of the twelve governors at the Ministry of Magic; also, he is a governor for this school. The Malfoy family is one of the richest families in the magic world. They are founders to many corporations, which is where they get most of their money. Draco's father was sentenced to Azkaban, but mysteriously was released one day. He never completed his full sentence. Some say magic got him out, others say his wealth bought his escape; however, the most recent assumption was that the Dark Lord, he who cannot be named, helped him escape. Draco has an evil aunt named Bellatrix Lestrange, who is one of he who cannot be named alliances, and she will do anything and everything to please him. She is one of the most powerful people in his army. Many know Draco because of how high his family is in the magic society, but others know him because there are rumors that he is going to become a death eater like his parents and aunt. All of the teachers, especially Dumbledore, hope this is wrong, but no one knows for certain. His parents just gave him his letter after three years to come to this school. I heard one of the kids on Slytherin saying that he came so late because he started his death eater training, yet he isn't one yet." Colin Creevey, our school "reporter" and photographer from our house, answered and explained. Apparently he had eavesdropped on our whole conversation.

"That's interesting." Fred said, trying to be serious. George, breaking away from the awkward silence, busted out laughing, causing both of the brothers to laugh.

'A death eater, no way he would be one.' I thought, looking at him again. He may look a little sinister, but I feel that somewhere deep inside he is soft and doesn't want to be one; deep down, he probably is afraid of him and doesn't want to kill people.

"No matter whom he is or not, he doesn't matter. It's not like he's the next Voldemort or anything." Ron, being the arrogant pompous a**, said his name. I hope he comes to kill him, I really do.

"IDIOT!" Ginny smacked Ron across the mouth. "What did Mom tell you about saying that name!"

During the moment of Ginny smacking Ron, Colin snapped a picture with the camera he always has with him, and ran off before Ron could break his camera, since Ron always picks on Colin.

"What? It doesn't matter anymore than the grass being green matters! I'm just saying. I'm entitled to my opinion, thank you very much." He gritted through his teeth, shaking the getting smacked off.

"Be nice to Ginny and Hermione, Ron. I don't appreciate you becoming a little jerk." Fred and George agreed.

Ron became quiet, and Harry gave Ginny a look that basically told her to be nice to her brother; then she stuck her tongue out at him and they both laughed. They were a cute couple all in all. After our little spat, we all went to our houses and waited for classes to start the next morning.

OMW! Ron is such a jerk! Dont be hatin' on Draco! Just kidding, even though Ron is my least favorite at the moment and Draco is my favorite. Anyways, how's you like it? Good? Bad? Please R&R! :D

By the way, I want to know who your favorite couples are in the series. It can be anyone at all, students and adults. Leave your response in the review please. I would like to know and it may help me sort people out:) Thank you!
