A new year at Hogwarts: new friendships, new adventures, new look, crushes and, definitely, new books!

These were the thoughts that flew in Hermione's head the day before classes started…but she wouldn't suspect about falling in love with this certain new (gorgeous) student and changing her life forever…

Hermione was at the Burrow with her best friends and Ron's family, making a great effort not to get nervous for the fact that she had to get to Diagon Alley by Floo Powder – she hated both the burning and the dirty feelings inside her robes.

"Come on dear, hurry up!" said Mrs.Weasly pushing Hermione into the fireplace.

Damn, I hate this part…

Hermione minded her head, stepped inside the fireplace and took a handful of powder from Mrs.Weasly´s vase.

Here goes nothing…

"Diagon Alley!" Hermione burst into green flames and disappeared leaving emerald ashes behind.

The strange feeling overcame her, but it wasn't long till she landed full of ashes on the floor, beside Harry and Ron.

"What took ya so long? Harry and I though you went to Knockturn Alley or something!"

"Oh, shut up Ron…before I clean the ashes on your nose with my fist!" replied Hermione, trying to clean her robes the Muggle-way.

"Grrr!" This isn't taking me anywhere!

"Expurgar!" she said, pointing her wand at her clothes, cleaning them instantly and looking up to see the astonished faces of her friends. "Oh, come on you guys! Let's get going before you grow beards…Ron, your parents said we'd better not wait for them ´cause Ginny still wasn't ready and they had some stuff to do…" explained Hermione with her most realistic McGonagall-look.

Just look at them! Staring at me like I was some Basilisk or Acromantula….please

"Oh…hum…O.K. Let's go to Flourish n´ Blots then?" Ron replied giving Harry a malicious look since he was too busy trying not to laugh…His hair had grown a lot since last year, so his scar wasn't claiming the usual attention from anyone around, what was a lot better for him.

After buying their books, some new robes, a new cage for Hedwig and some stuff that they needed for Potions they ran into Ginny, Mr. and Mrs.Weasly.

"Hey guys, have you bought everything already?" Ginny asked, putting her hair into a ponytail so it wouldn't get in her eyes.

"Yep…and we also bought you this…" Ron tossed a parcel at Ginny, who caught it with one hand and frowned at it.

"It's a surprise; you can't open it till we're at Hogwarts!" Hermione explained with a devilish look on her face.

Ginny didn't look very convinced, but she let out a groan that her friends understood as a "Yes", and put the present in her pocket.

Ron and Ginny's parents told them they had to withdrawal some money at Gringotts, so, whiling to spend a bit of money in some snacks or sweets, the four friends went to a new candy store called "Claire's Trickery Sweets".

While Ginny took some Spice Quills, Ron eyed suspiciously some jumping Sugary Red Peppers and Harry preferred instead to pay for some Chocolate and Mint Frogs. Hermione was still deciding on what to buy and searched the shelves for something that would satisfy her ENOURMOUS chocolate cravings, but, instead, her eyes landed on a boy that had just entered the store.

What the…!

The pale boy (who looked like was about 17 – Hermione's age) was exceptionally handsome. He had spiky black (and not too long) hair; his eyes were green and honey colored, which were extremely beautiful, even though dark circles surrounded them; and he had muscled arms that could be noticed 100 meters away because of his robes´ folded sleeves.

OMG…he so HOT!

Ginny noticed Hermione gawping at something – which was very, very rare… - and soon realized what IT was…

"Hermionee…?"

A beautiful, soft voice was calling her…

"Hermioneeee…?"

And she was drifting away…

"Hermione! For God's sake! " Ginny cried, making Hermione jump slightly.

"Hun...?" Still she wasn't paying attention or even looking at her. Where is he? Where? I need to see him! Hermione's eyes searched the store, landing once more on the green and honey colored ones that dazzled her.

"Hermione, you're doing it again!" Ginny rolled her eyes and coughed for attention.

Then he looked up at Hermione, locking his eyes on hers, melting her like…

"HERMIONE!" Ginny shouted directly in Hermione's left ear, making her jump and making him glare at her.

"What the fuck Ginny! Are you completely mad? I'm not deaf, you know?"

"Shush! Calm down…"

"What?" she cried annoyed. Of ALL the moments in the Wizarding AND Muggle world, she had chosen THIS to shout at me! Curse her…!

Ginny chuckled and looked in his direction, the god that enlightened the shop; that melted anyone's heart with a glance, that…

"Could you please stop staring at him like that?" Ginny rolled her eyes in annoyance and continued "I know he's a bit sexy, but…"

A BIT sexy! How could she insult him like that? He's completely GORGEOUS, he's a god like creature, a…

"…the way you look, I mean, stare at him, I'm starting to think that either he put a charm on you or he's not human!" Ginny whispered, trying her best not to let out a smirk.

That's it! Ginny must be right…he couldn't be human! He was too perfect, too God- Damn HOT!

After wasting 5 seconds on thinking about what her friend had said, 2 seconds of deep breaths and other 3 for calming her hair down a bit (A/N: Yep, ur right :after losing 10 seconds of good quality staring… she turned to Ginny, who was enjoying the confused and perplexed new Hermione.

"Sorry Mione, but I think your crush-at-first-sight is leaving…" Ginny said, letting out the smirk she'd had been holding when Hermione's eyes left hers and turned to the door.

She's right, she sighted, taking a last look at him.

Almost like reading her thoughts, he spun his head in her direction and partially smiled, leaving the store.

"So, you guys ready to go?" Ron asked, taking a piece of elastic candy he'd bought from the bag and tossing it into his mouth.

"Ginny..? Are you Ok?" Harry asked this time, kissing her forehead and putting one arm around her. She had a teasing smile in her face, which Hermione surely was getting annoyed of… "There is something wrong with Mione…is she day dreaming or something? You don't get to see her like that every day…" Harry thought changing his glance to his girlfriend again.

"Sure…Why don't we buy some butterbeers while we wait, so Hermione can freshen up? She looks a bit…how can I say…?" she teased, winking at Hermione "…dazzled?"

She flashed Ginny a scornful look. Trying not to blush too much, she lowered her head and smiled to herself.

I hate it when she does that! She could've tortured me about it later…

Ron and Harry exchanged confused glances and walked out the store following Hermione and Ginny.
