Something there ...
Part 1 - Queen on her Throne
"Ah , glorious seventh year. I thought it would never come."
"You're telling me ! I can't wait to get out of here."
"I can." Came a very glum voice.
Ron and Harry jumped up.
"Hermione ! Why weren't you here earlier ?"
"Well , I was talking to Parvati and Lavender , and we were having a blast down the train with Draco , and Dean , and some others ..."
"You were WHAT ?"
"What is so bad about that ?"
'Hermione , you have never liked them ! In fact , you almost hated them ! Why them ?"
"Well , Harry. Why is it your business anyway ?"
"It becomes my business , Hermione when one of my friends dumps me for someone she doesn't even like !"
"Hold on ! Dumping you ?"
"You were gone for 2 hours ! We thought you had died or something !"
"And you were just so concerned." She said sarcastically. "You , are blowing this way out of proportion. So what , if I become friends with someone else? You can't just expect me to only have you for friends !"
'We can after 6 years !"
"Fine. Whatever. If that's the way you are going to be , I am going back to them."
"Fine. You deserve them."
Hermione whirled around , and stomped out the door , leaving a very mad looking Harry , and a very confused Ron.
"Harry ?"
"What ?"
"What just happened ?"
"Guess."
"Well , I saw you blow up at her over the stupidest , smallest thing ..."
"Stupid ? Small ? She was hanging with Malfoy ! And Parvati !"
"Well , Harry , let go of it. But I still want to be her friend."
"You WHAT ?!"
"She is my friend. Hate her all you want."
Harry glared at him , and then all of a sudden began to laugh.
"What?' Ron asked , peevishly.
'We are acting like stupid little idiots."
"Harry , we always do."
Harry just sat there and chuckled , eating Chocolate Frogs , all thoughts of his current war with Hermione vanquished from his mind.
Hermione walked into the compartment on the other side of the train , where she had spent the last 2 hours. It's occupants included Lavender , Parvati , Draco , Dean , Seamus , and some others. Lavender looked up , and waved at her pleasantly when she entered the room. There were no available seats , so Hermione sat down on Dean's lap. Parvati laughed.
"So , I take it Harry and Ron didn't let you back in ?"
"Well , we sort of got into a fight ..."
"YOU fought with the Great Potter ?"
'Oh shut up Draco."
"Yes , m' lady."
She sent him a glare , but it was only pretend. At the end of 6th year , they had become friends , and they had hung out over the summer. And while Parvati and Lavender insisted there was something going on between the brainy yet beautiful Hermione , and the Most Eligible Bachelor , there wasn't. Yet.
"Hmm. Harry , you got any more Frogs ?"
"Nope. You cleaned me out."
"Oh , Sorry about that. Anyway -"
The door swung open , and Ron braced himself , thinking it was Hermione.
But instead of Hermione , there was a short girl , with long black hair , and violet eyes. She looked like a veela , but she had a different look about her. Darker , more mysterious. She smiled at the two boys , and they both blushed. Then Harry recovered himself.
"Uh , I don't mean to sound rude , but , who are you ?"
"Cecily. Cecily Cassiopeia . My last name means Queen on Her Throne , but on some days , I feeling everything but."
Ron laughed , and so did she. She glanced around the compartment.
"I'm and exchange student from Greece. I go to Amchalonoria. It's a school in Athens , for ages 9 and on. It's really lovely there. I am not liking England ."
"Why ?"
"Too rainy. Bit sunny , but I miss Pyotr , and I miss the beach."
"Who's Pyotr ?"
"My boyfriend , in your language ." She looked at their falling faces. "Of course , that doesn't really mean anything ..." And she winked at them. They both blushed furiously , and she laughed , her high , sweet laugh.
'I am looking for , how you say , Hermione ?"
"Oh. Her."
"You are not friends ?"
'We were."
"Oh. I see. I will look for her. Could you tell me what she looks like ?"
'Well , she has straight brown hair , and you will probably find her in a compartment with 10 other people. One , who sneers at everyone , and has blond hair."
"Thank you. May I ask your names ?"
"Sure. This is Ron Weasley , and I am Harry Potter."
"You are Harry Potter ?"
Harry nodded , feeling cautious.
"I have heard so much 'bout you ! I need to talk to you . Anyway , I must fly. I have to find Hermione , so she can take me on a guided tour."
And she left as abruptly as she came. Harry and Ron sat there , looking at the now empty door way.
"Wow."
Hermione was talking pleasantly with Draco. He had become Head Boy , much to her surprise. She had never known it , but he had the second highest marks. Well , good for him.
"So , should we be nice ? Or should we be really cruel?"
"Well , Draco , seeing as being cruel come naturally to you-."
He glared at her , and she laughed. Some things never changed. All of a sudden , the door swung open. Hermione nearly fell of her seat. There was a girl standing in the door way , and Draco looked as though he had been electrocuted by the sight of her. He turned white , and then sat up , and pushed out the door. The girl smiled serenely at Draco , and then turned back to the assembled group.
"Good afternoon. I am looking for , how you say , Hermione Granger ?"
"That's me."
"Oh , thank you so much. I have been looking all over for you. I run into Harry Potter and Ronald Weazer , and they say you will be here. I am so glad to see you. Dumbledore said you would give me a tour of Hogwarts !"
"Oh." Was all Hermione could say.
'Well , Monsieur Malfoy isn't very happy to see me."
'Why ?"
"Long story. Goes back many years , honey." She winked , and Seamus goggled at her.
"Well , it was very nice to meet you - uh , I didn't catch you name."
'My name is Cecily Cassiopeia. Means Queen on her throne. Anyway , do you mind if I hang out here ? I really don't know any one."
'Sure. Go right ahead. This is Parvati Patil , that's Lavender Brown , this is Seamus Finnigin , Dean Thomas , and Draco , who you know , just left. Well, I'm Head Girl , and Draco is head boy. All of the ones here are in Gryffindor - do you know what house you are in ?"
"No , not yet. I will be sorted with the first years , but into seventh year. I am nervous. I like attention , but not THAT much."
Hermione nodded. The guys were listening to her with rapt attention , a glazed look in their eyes . Like she had some spell over them...
