Hermione woke up with her alarm clock. It was the first day back to Hogwarts and she had to adjust herself to waking up so early again. "Great. " She said as she rolled out of bed and onto the hard floor. "Ugh! "

She had definitely changed over the years. She had a nice hourglass figure, full lips, and dark brown eyes. She still had messy, curly hair, but she usually just pulled it back in a ponytail, so it would stay out of her face. She was also very tall and slightly muscular. As, per her friends Harry and Ron, she too had taken up quiditch. Though she wasn't on the team, she loved to practice with the guys. She was still very smart, one of the smartest at Hogwarts in fact, but she was also a lot more laid back then before.

She quickly got dressed and ran down to the Great Hall.

"Hey guys! " She said while sitting in between Harry and Ron.

"Hey 'Mione." They said in unison, while stuffing their faces with food.

"So, what class do we have first? " said Ron. But Hermione wasn't listening, she was to captivated by the young man that had just sat down at the slytherin table across from her. She didn't quite know what it was, but there was just something so captivating about his eyes. They were beautiful, dark, and full of mystery. When she looked into them, it was is if the world had stopped spinning for the moment, and it was just her and him alone in the world. Nothing else seemed to matter. She found it terribly hard to pull her eyes away, but with Ron constantly tapping her on the shoulder, she finally managed.

"What!?" She didn't realize how loudly she had screamed. "Sorry. But what do you want? "

"I was just asking what class we had first. "

"Oh. " She pulled her schedule out of her bag and looked over it. "Our first class is potions, and then it's... "

"Ugh, that figures. " Said Ron.

"Yeah, what a way to start off the year. " Said Hermione.

"It's not that bad guys. I mean... " Said Harry.

"Not that bad, but he's the worst professor ever. " Said Ron, while chocking on some toast.

Harry just rolled his eyes and went back to eating.

They got up with the others, and made her way through the mass of people to class.

"Excuse me. " Came a tantalizing French accent from behind Hermione. She turned around to see the same guy she had been staring at earlier. He was tall and lean, had nice lips and a beautiful smile. And black, shoulder length hair, to match his dark eyes, which looked good with his pale skin.

"Yes? "

"Could you please tell me where the potions class is? "

"Oh, right, ummm, right this, umm, right this way. "

'Damnit! '. She thought to herself, 'I never get this way around guys! '

"I'm Louis, by the way. I'm the exchange student from France. "

"Nice, ahem, nice to meet you. I'm Hermione. "

They walked into the classroom and she went to sit down with Harry and Ron. But, to her surprise, Louis followed her to the desk.

Ron looked at him and said, "Umm, I think the Slytherins sit over there. " he pointed to the other side of the room where Draco and his friends were sitting.

"Oh. Sorry. " He said as he went to sit with the Slytherins.

"God Ron, that was a little rude! "

"What? He's a Slytherin. "

"So! What's that supposed to mean? He seems really nice. "

Their argument was broken when Snape walked in to begin class.

Harry couldn't help but notice how great Snape looked this year. 'Wait, what am I thinking? It's not like I like Snape! Do I? No! Besides, that would mean I'm gay! Well there was that one time, but still! Well maybe? " Harry found it hard trying to concentrate in class, as he was to busy concentrating on Snape. As did Hermione, who was to busy concentrating on Louis. And Ron, who was to busy concentrating on quiditch.
