"Draco! Hurry up! We're going to be late." A frazzled Narcissa Malfoy yelled up to her eleven year old. Draco came rushing down the stairs.

"I know mother. I know." He ducked past her as she tried to ruffle his hair. A house elf followed him with a large trunk and black owl (that Hermione had gotten him for his birthday). The Malfoys flooed to King's Cross right before being smothered by a flying girl. A sheepish Sirius Black followed with the Potters.

"Draco! I haven't seen you in forever." Hermione lamented. Draco looked at her before laughing.

"It's only been two days." Hermione had grown up. No longer was her hair super bushy like it was when she was younger but it had a beautiful wildness to it. Kind of like Hermione herself, Draco thought. What are you thinking? Snap out of it! But her eyes. They were like the warm chocolate that Mrs. Potter makes after we play in the snow. DRACO! Cut it out. She's your friend that you've known for your whole life. Draco emerged from his thoughts to find his mother smirking knowingly at him and Hermione ranting about Hogwarts.

"Did you know that the ceiling in the Great Hall is charmed to look like the outside sky? And also -." Draco cut her off.

"'Mione, we know you read the whole Hogwarts, A History. Might I remind you that I was the one who got it for you." Hermione blushed. The train whistle sounded. The three preteens hugged all of the adults and got on the train. The Hogwarts Express pulled out of the station to a chorus of tears and goodbyes.

Harry, Hermione, and Draco walked down the train car, trying to find a good compartment. They looked through the options and saw a small boy with bright red hair and a corned beef sandwich. A Weasley. The poorest and most annoying brats there were. No self-respecting wizard would hang out with them. The mother and son named Percy sucked up to everyone. The father had a poor job at the ministry. And the hoards of kids only worsened their financial status. However, everyone love the twins, who were mischievous pranksters and made people laugh. They had dreamed of setting off on their own business and clearly showing their parents how to get back into the good graces of society. The oldest two weren't too bad either. Draco sneered. The youngest boy caught his eye and leaped up. A bright red and purple splotch grew across his face like a rash. The boy whipped open the car door.

"Malfoy. What do you want?" He looked at Draco with disgust.

"Excuse me, but don't speak to my friend like that." Hermione stepped in front of Draco. The boy looked at her. "We were wondering if we could share this compartment with you, due to the others being full."

"Fine. I don't need the filthy no-one-cares-who-you-are Mudblood germs stinking up the place. You only are with these two because of their money so ta-ta." The boy moved as if to leave but before he could, Hermione drew herself up to her full height.

"First off, I am a pureblood of the Noble House of Black. Second, I have my own money which is more than you can say. And lastly, don't ever speak that way to me or my friends again, especially with that word." Taken by surprise, the boy was pushed out of the compartment by Hermione and the door was closed in his face. Hermione and the two boys sat down in the cushioned seats.

"Remind me never to get on your bad side, 'Mione." Harry said nudging her. "You would beat anyone any day. Even a seventh year with all the jinxes and spells you know." With that, the trio laughed and started their trip to the greatest school in the wizarding world.

Hey guys! Wanted to get a new chapter out to you and address a few things in this chapter. First, even though Hermione, Harry, and Draco are not growing up totally brainwashed with the pureblood supremacy stuff, they still believe that they are superior to some, such as the Weasleys. Second, you may not think that this is the way that Hermione and Harry would act. Well, this is MY story, so I can make them do whatever I want them to. Mainly, I wanted there to be conflict between the trio and Ron because I hate him and don't want them to have any sort of bond with him. Thirdly, as addressed before, I will not be having Ron (or any of the Weasleys excluding Fred, George, Bill, and Charlie) be in any sort of friendly relationship with Harry or Hermione. Harry does not need them to "adopt" him and neither does Hermione. And I don't like them, so yeah. Lastly, having a bit of a crisis on where to sort Hermione. I don't want her in Gryffindor (cause that is too canon) or Hufflepuff (yes she's loyal but that house doesn't fit her that well). I don't know whether to put her in Slytherin or Ravenclaw. I'm thinking Slytherin because then I could have more Dramione but i don't want to copy off of any author who did a Slytherin Hermione. Please help!

Thank you so much for all the support! You guys are incredible. Much love! xx -StarlightWinterWolf
