Changing Sides
Chapter 1: The Train
Platform 9 ¾ is busily bustling with wizard and witches trying to catch the Hogwarts Express, which this year was running late, 12 hours late to be exact. Hermione and Ron ran through the wall, followed by Harry and the Weasley gang and boarded the train.
"Ron, wait!" Hermione said, though she was only a few steps behind him. She scooted up next to him, and grabbed his hand. She had left all of her school stuff at school, and because she and Ron were going out, totally forgot to bring it home. She softly sighed and leaned against his shoulder. "So Weasel-Be still has his bloody muggle girlfriend, how charming; two wizards that don't deserve their powers." Ron blushed scarlet, and started to talk, "Oh shove it Mal—!" He was abruptly cut off by a kiss from Hermione. She was the only one that seemed to be able to keep him off Malfoy with out having to restrain him. "bloody snake…" He mumbled under his breath.
On the train, Harry and Ginny found Ron and Hermione sitting next to each other, and a very noticeable hicky on Ron's neck. "Hey Ron," Harry motioned to his neck, "at least Ginny and I can keep our relationship private." Harry looked at Ron, and snickered because he knew he would freak when he got the news of his little sister and his best friend going out. Hermione and Ron both looked at Harry and Ginny in shock, who were now sitting next to each other, hand in hand. Ron spat, "What the blood crap?? Ginny why didn't you tell me you two were going out??" His face was all serious, and then a smile broke out on his face. "I don't think I could have found you any better match! If you had told me earlier, then I wouldn't have tried to get Neville to ask you out! What a waste of breath…" Harry and Ginny stare at each other, it was not what they had expected from Ron, but ever since he and Hermione had been going out, he had always seemed a bit calmer.
After about an hour into the train ride, Ron, Ginny, and Harry were asleep. Hermione was still awake, and about have glad Ron was off her back; she likes him and everything, but to her it might be pushing the limits. A knock was heard at the door, and a shadow appeared. "Hermione, can I talk to you?" It was a familiar voice, but now it was stangely calm. She looked out the door, and to her surprise it was Draco. "Yes," Hermionesaid, "you called?"
