Author's Note: So, I got a couple of messages talking about how Hermione is only fifteen blah blah blah, c'mon guys, Hermione is about to be 16 and in the wizarding world the kids become adults at 17. There will be actual sex in future chapters. If you have a problem with that please don't read. Rated M for a reason guys. Otherwise please enjoy this chapter.
Hermione woke up on September first at five in the morning, looking out at the clouds that covered the starry sky, she thought about how much different this year would be. Knowing that Severus was her father and the relationship that they built would be difficult to hide in the classroom. Not to mention the feelings she was starting to develop for a certain blonde. She had sent Ron at least a dozen letters and hadn't gotten a response back. At least I won't have to worry about eating anymore of Severus' terrible cooking Hermione thought to herself. He might be a potions master, but Severus had managed to catch the kitchen on fire at least three times in the past week. I wonder how he managed to make any dinners before I came along Hermione mused with a grin on her face. Sighing, Hermione went about making sure her things were all packed, then heading down into the kitchen for some tea.
Walking towards the kitchen Hermione could hear Severus in his potions lab doing inventory before they left. Of course, he was going to be taking an extreme number of potions with him to Hogwarts, with Hermione's help he had almost perfected Wolfsbane entirely, making the affected person be able to stay in human form during a full moon, thus opening a new world of possibilities for the children who had been bitten. After she sat down at the table with her tea, she found herself thinking about Draco, the intimate exchange they had in the woods was a first for Hermione, she prided herself on being a virgin, even though most of the girls in her year were not. They called her stuck up and a prude, but she just felt like a quick roll in the sack just to say she had lost her virginity was beneath her. But that was before I got a taste of what it could feel like she thought to herself, blushing as she remembered the heat that had built up inside of her.
Several minutes passed silently as Hermione sipped her tea, still in deep thought about the ways she was changing. Draco had slipped into the kitchen during this time and cleared his throat to get her attention. "I thought you said I wouldn't see you again before term" Hermione asked surprised. Draco smiled his perfect smile," I wasn't sure how long it would take after term started before we could sneak away for another date so I decided to come and see you today", he replied casually. Hermione noticed that he was holding something under the table. He slowly pulled a package out and slid it towards her, it was long and thin, wrapped in bright green paper. "Don't open it until I leave" he demanded. He leaned across the table and kissed her softly on the lips, making her blush as the heat started in her stomach again. "I'll see you at school", he whispered against her lips before leaving through the floo. Hermione sat there and inspected the package very slowly, it was light and thin, she carefully opened the wrapping to find a white box underneath, a handwritten message on top:
Hermione,
I hope that this will remind you of us at the random times when you are in the library surrounded by books, or when you are walking the grounds with your friends, or when you master a particularly difficult spell or know the answer waving your hand about as like you do
Draco
Opening the box, Hermione gasped at the beautiful silver bracelet that was underneath, the tiniest most intricate tree charm attached to it, little leaves made of emerald shook as she looked at them, dancing in the box. Smiling Hermione put it on and went to get her things for the train.
Platform nine and three quarters was the busier than Hermione could ever remember, despite the fact that it was packed, she immediately spotted the Weasely clan standing near the Hogwarts Express, in fact it looked as if the whole order was there, Dumbledore had, with Hermione's permission, explained the situation of her parenthood to the order. They were of course sworn to secrecy, and were extremely happy to see her. Hermione couldn't help but notice that Ron was nowhere to be found. "He already boarded the train 'Mione" George told her when he noticed her looking around for him. Hermione hadn't really even noticed him standing next to her and had jumped when she saw that he towered more than a foot above her. He and his brother had grown their hair out and it was almost touching their collarbones. As she studied them she noticed that despite their immature pranks, they were actually, pretty attractive. Since when do I care about what boys look like, she thought to herself, embarrassed by her staring. The train whistle alerted them it was time to board and they said their goodbyes, Hermione heading to the Prefects compartment so she could find out what her duties for the school year would be.
The compartment she arrived in was absolutely beautiful, black velvet lounge chairs were dotted around the room, and a roaring fireplace was set up, bringing warmth to the cart on the cloudy cold day. Ron and the others were already there, looking around the only people Hermione didn't see were Draco and the Greengrass girl. After waiting another five minutes they slid in the cart right before Severus walked in, close behind him was professor Flitwick. "Welcome students! And may I say congratulations on become Prefects! Are we all here? good!" Professor Flitwick exclaimed, "I'm going to pair you up with someone from a different house and that person will be your patrol buddy for the entire year. This will promote inter-house unity. Now as a prefect you are going to be held to a higher standard than the others in your houses. You will be allowed to take up to 10 points from other students for misbehaving, but all points taken by a prefect will go through a teacher before actually getting taken, this way we can be sure that nobody is abusing the system. I will be handing out a list of each houses duties and the correct pairings are posted on the board behind me. Feel free to go back to your own compartments but please patrol the corridors from time to time to make sure the other students are behaving." He drew out his wand and conjured a stack of papers in front of each student, while Severus posted a paper on the board behind them of house pairings. Then as quick as they came, they both swept from the room.
Draco was the first to step up to the posted pairings, with a smirk he glanced at Hermione, winked and walked out of the compartment. Ron stepped up next and his face turned redder than his hair, he stomped out of the compartment, Hermione knew before she even looked, that Draco was her partner. No wonder Severus was here! He was meddling again Hermione thought to herself. This was definitely going to be an interesting year for her.
