Even though I tried with Polyjuice Potion I am still not J.K. Rowling or Stephanie Meyer, so unfortunately I do not own anything in the Harry Potter or Twilight Universe. =(

CHAPTER 11: BACK TO SCHOOL

HPOV:

This has got to be the SLOWEST summer in history! Not that I liked being home and with my parents, it's great really, but I rather be at Hogwarts. There I can see my friends and actually use magic, since I cannot do it at home because I am underage. However the most important reason I want to be at Hogwarts again is because there I can see Draco, even though we have to meet in secret. We have been talking daily and it never seems that we run out interesting stuff to talk about. At the beginning of the summer he finally had a chance to read the books I gave him at Christmas and we talked at length about each book. I can't wait to get him some more! Although I was in constant contact with him, it just is not the same. I miss just being able to sit across the table from him.

FINALLY, the summer is almost over and it was time to go to Diagon Alley to go pick up my school supplies. I was staying at the Leakey Cauldron with the Weasleys and we were going to King Cross the next day to get on the train. My parents helped me get my trunk into my room that I would be sharing with Ginny. I hugged them and promised to write. I found Harry and Ron in the dining area and went to hug them. It was great to see them and they certainly grew over the summer. I saw the twins and went over to hug them too. I also hugged Ginny, I hope that we could become friends. We did not really talk last year on account she was practically possessed by Riddle aka Voldemort. We set off with the other Weasleys to get our school supplies. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley made us all promise that we will stay in groups because of the fact that Sirius Black has done the impossible and escaped Azkaban. We quickly got all of our school gear including the Monster Book of Monsters, apparently our Care of Magical Creatures's professor has a sense of humor. I all used my early birthday money that my parents gave me to buy a half-Kneazle half-cat and I named him Crookshanks. I knew that I would not see Drake there because he got his stuff last week. He talked a lot about the Monster Book of Monsters, I thought he was exaggerating about the book but he was not kidding! I even told thim that during our brief conversation that night.

The morning was busy as usual when students were on their way to the train station for Hogwarts. There was a lot of running about where people were packing last minute stuff. Luckily we all made it to the train with plenty of time unlike last year where Harry and Ron resorted to taking a flying car. The rest of the Weasleys went off to find their friends, so it just left Harry, me, and Ron to find a compartment. The only one we could find had someone sleeping in it but it was the only one that was not completely filled. We went in and I saw that he was a professor, Professor R. J. Lupin. Harry closed the door and since it looks like Professor Lupin was in deep sleep he told us that Mr. Weasley told him, that Sirius Black was after him. Will there ever be a year that Harry is not involved in something deadly?!

The train was moving along and we were just talking when all of a sudden the door opened and in stepped Drake with Crabbe and Goyle behind him. I mean Ron and Harry changed over the summer but Drake definitely did! He was taller and his features have become more defined. His hair was no longer sleeked back and he had bangs, I LOVE his new hairstyle. All in all he became more handsome over the summer. I blinked back into reality just at Drake started to speak, "Well well, look who it is Potthead, Weaselbee, and Buckteeth" Buckteeth? Really? He needs some better insults. I know that he would not call me a mudblood but there's got to be something else. He did not get a chance to continue because he saw who else was in our compartment and rather than getting in trouble with a teacher, he sneered and strutted out of the compartment.

"Well at least he did not call you the "m" word Hermione" said Ron.

"Yeah, but buckteeth, really? I know to some, that could be a major insult but it does little for me." We all laughed and started to talk again when suddenly the train stopped. Ice started to form on the windows and suddenly a figure that looked like the muggle's interpretation of the grim reaper only way more creepy came to the door. I started to feel like I would never be happy again. I saw Harry faint and suddenly Professor Lupin stood up and light came out of his wand, which cause the creature to move back and leave.

When it was gone Professor Lupin quickly went to Harry and put him up on the seat. He quickly gave us chocolate. He told us that it would make us feel better. I took a bite and he was right I suddenly felt much better. Harry soon woke up and was given chocolate. Professor Lupin told us about the dementors and left to go talk to the conductor. The rest of the train ride was fine and we soon changed into our robes and got off the train. Of course this being Hogwarts, word travelled fast and soon everyone knew about Harry's experience with the dementors. Everyone was looking at Harry and whispering. Drake upfront asked mockingly if Harry really did faint. After the feast while everyone was leaving to go to their common rooms, Professor McGonagall asked me if I would go to her office. I knew what she wanted me for so I told Ron and Harry I will meet in them in the common room. I saw Drake giving me a questioning gaze and proceeded to the dungeons.

After my meeting with Professor McGonagall, who gave me the time turner to help with classes, I realized that there was still plenty of time before curfew. I knew that Ron and Harry would not try to find me since they believed I was with Professor McGonagall. Timing could not be more perfect. I grabbed my necklace that Drake gave me and sent him a message asking if he could get away? I checked the Marauder's Map and saw no one in the library. I made my way to our spot. On the way I got a message from Drake that he was on his way. I smiled and made my way to our spot.

DPOV:

I thought it would take us a couple of days before we could meet up but I was ecstatic that she could meet tonight. I guess her meeting with McGonagall was very short. When I saw her on the train, I had to bite back a gasp. She changed over the summer. She became even more beautiful, her hair was no as bushy and she was growing into her features so nicely. Her teeth did not seem as big as they once were, which made my insult an absolute lie. I need to figure out a better insult to keep my cover but it is so hard to insult her. I was worried about her because I heard that Potter fainted because of the dementors and I know she was with him.

After what seemed like forever I saw her in our spot looking at the map. I quickly did the spells. She turned around and I ran to hug her. I definitely grew over the summer so there was more of a pronounced height difference, but it did not matter I was just so glad that I was hugging her. Her scent was the same and it comforted me so much. "Mya, I missed you SO much!"

"I missed you too Drake!" We just stood there for who knows how long just holding each other. Too soon she started to pull away but only enough so she can see my face. She was smiling and her eyes were glowing with happiness. Her smile turned into a playful smirk, "Buckteeth? Is that the best that you could come up with?"

I laughed and blushed a little bit. "That was the best I could come up with at the time. When I first saw you I was blown away from how beautiful you got and I don't know, I could not think of anything else. By the way your teeth are definitely NOT buckteeth. They are perfect the way they are." Now it was she that was blushing.

"I got to admit when I first say you I was blown away too. You definitely have become more handsome and I absolutely love you hair style." She reached one hand to touch my hair. "Just as soft as I thought." I laughed. I was experimenting with different hairstyles since I wanted to do something different but I know I will keep it like this.

"I heard about the dementor that went into your compartment, are you okay? I know that Potter fainted but no one knew what happened to you and Weasley?

"I am fine Drake. Professor Lupin gave me some chocolate and I felt much better afterwards. It was only Harry that fainted."

"I am just glad you are okay. I guess that Potter can never have a normal start to a school year huh?" We both laughed and we sat on the ground side by side with our backs to the wall and holding hands as we talked about random things. One thing that we did talk about was the fact that I stink of coming up with insults for her. She told me that I should just call here that horrible name. I told her I made a promise to her that day I came up to her to apologize that I would NEVER call her that again. I told her, I could not get the image of how hurt she looked when I said that to her. She told me she understood but even Potter and Weasley are noticing that I do not use that term and that if I want to keep my reputation so no one would get suspicious then I have to call her that. She told me that I am not breaking my promise because she is the one that's tell me to do it.

"Besides Drake the biggest difference now and then is that I know that you do not mean it at all. I know what is really in your heart. You do not have to use it all of the time but please use it so your father or fellow Slytherins do not get suspicious." I looked down but I guess she did not like that because she moved closer to me and placed her free hand on my cheek and turn my head so I was looking at her and I placed my free hand over hers and stared into her beautiful eyes. "I know you hate to say that word and I hate the circumstances that make you have to say that word. But just so you know, if you have to call me that, I know that you do not mean it at all. I will not think any less of you." We stared into each other's eyes. I realized that our heads were getting closer and closer to each other. This is it I was going to get my first kiss…DING DING DING. It was her alarm to warn us that it was almost curfew. Both of us gave frustrated sighs. We both wanted it but the moment was lost. I wanted to make sure my first kiss with Hermione Granger was perfect and at just the right moment.

We got up and put the spell down. When we were about ready to split up, we hugged and I kissed her on the forehead. I got down to the dungeons easy enough and I got a message from Mya that she made it to the Gryffindor common room safe and sound. I messaged her that I was safe in the dungeons.

HERE WE ARE AT THE START OF A NEW SCHOOL YEAR! Yes I am procrastinating more on my homework but once I get going I can't stop!

PLEASE REVIEW PLEASE!
