an:/ Hey soooooo, last chapter I got 2 reviews and I guess that's good but if you are reading this a review would be great.

Summary of Chapter 1:
Hermione had a tough Summer and is coming back for her last year at Hogwarts. She met up with Ginny and Harry who are not voicing their concern for her. She is now waiting for Ron to make his grand entrance.

Chapter 2: Meeting in the corridor.

"I'm here!" came the voice of the one and only, Ron Weasley.

He looked ruffled. But he still had that stupid grin on his face as if he was the happiest man in the whole entire world.
His eyes landed on Hermione.

"Mione! How have you been? We haven't heard from you all Summer."

"Great. I um, just came back from Australia actually."

Ginny turns to Hermione,
"Oh I didn't know. Maybe, it's because you didn't answer any of our owls." She says angrily

"I'm really sorry about that. I was all the way in Australia and since I went there the muggle way I couldn't take my owl."

She looked up.
Everyone was looking at her in a way she couldn't understand. She also didn't understand why she didnt't just tell them about what actually happened during the Summer.
'Maybe it's because there are so many of them.' She thought. 'Yeah, that's probably it?, I will just tell them seperatly'

"Ok, well I am going to go get changed and I will be right back." She said

"Do you want me to come with you" asks Ginny

"No I'll be fine thanks."

Hermione quickly stood up and walked to the compartment door sliding it open gently. As soon as she has her back to the door she takes a deep breath.

'This is gonna be way harder than I though'

The Hogwarts express had finally arrived at its destination, and all the students were waiting outside the great hall waiting for the doors to open, which was weird because this had never happened before.

Everyone was chatting away as Hermione stood behind her friends who were whispering. As she looked around she noticed some changes.
The building had lost a lot of its old charm since it had been completely destroyed. It looked more homey if that was a way to put it. It was comforting. Which was something she hadn't experienced in a long time.
She then looked around at the students. They were not children anymore. They had matured with the war along with every witch and wizard who had lived through it.

As she was observing everything her eyes were suddenly overwhelmed with the sight of a certain slytherin.
The slytherin who bullied her through her childhood and made her self-conscious about her hair and teeth. The slytherin whose aunt tortured her and left a scar that would always be there as a reminder. The slytherin who let it happen.
The slytherin called Draco Malfoy.

The two of them just stood there looking at eachother.
Her, with a look of fear and déja vu.
Him, with a look of emptiness and sorrow.

And they stayed staring until their attention was brought to the headmistress, McGonagall who had just appeared.

"Welcome back to Hogwarts everyone. I am here standing outside the great hall to tell you that this year, there will be great changes at Hogwarts. We will be uniting and putting differences aside. Everyone is starting a on a blank sheet. And so, on this note I am telling you that people's pasts wether they were good or bad should be forgotten. The four houses of Hogwarts will be more involved in eachother than ever before."

There was a pause.

"The house system will only be used for points you will no longer be divided into houses for classes you will all be mixed. There is also a new seating arrangment in the hall. The tables are not split in house tables. They are just multiple tables of 10 around the hall."

There was silence.

'She must be crazy if she expects me to be all buddy, buddy with any of the slytherins who have ever said anything about me behind my back' thought Hermione.

Hermione was brought out of her thoughts when she heard the sound of the doors opening.

Hermione was sitting at a table with Harry, Ginny, Luna, Neville, Ron, Lavender( Ew), Seamus and Dean. Leaving one seat blank.

'Hermione'

Everyone was talking about how their Summer had been. It seemed to have been pretty good from what she heard while she wasn't zoning out.

'Hermione'

Her mind was brought back to earth when she heard Ron calling her name.

"Oh! Um, yes Ron"

"We were just talking about how you have to pass a psychology test before you can start DADA again. Do you know anything more about it seeing as you're basically an information machine on legs?"

'A psychology test! Are they kidding me."
"No actually I didn't know"

"Oh come on" said Seamus, "Of course you know you're Hermione! You know everything"

There was silence at the table.

"Well apparently it seems that I don't" She said with tears welling up in her eyes.
She looked down at her food while the silence went on.

"You know what I'm really not hungry anymore, I think I'm gonna head up to my dorm and settle down."

She shot up making her chair fall and started walking away.
This time instead of the table being silent the whole hall was.
In the distance she could hear Harry and Ron shouting at Seamus.

"What the bloody hell did you do that for"

This only made her want to get to her dorm quicker so she could get to her room.

As she was running with her head down she crashed into someone

"Granger?"

She looked up.
She had just walked straight into Blaise Zabini.

"Excuse me, I didn't see you I was just heading up to the head dorms.

"Oh! so you're the head girl I see. Well you are going to love it. I was just up there with Draco, the new head boy, and there is this amazing tower that is like a circle room made of glass windows that you can only look out from but that look like bricks on th outside. Oh and the rooms were amazing. Actually on second thoughts I only saw Draco's not yours. Well I'm gonna head down to the hall to go eat! See ya later Granger"

Now of course had hermione been in a normal state of mind she would have said bye. But she had stopped listening after she heard the words 'Draco' and 'head boy' in the same sentence.

'Draco Bloody Malfoy is bloody head boy. As if I need my life to be any harder.' She thought as a lone tear made its way down her cheek.
