'This is it!' Hermione thought. 'I'm finally going to Hogwarts!' She stood next to Draco on Platform 9. Her mother was fussing over Draco and her father stood proudly beside them. She couldn't stop thinking on how perfect they were. Just the three of them, they were flawless. She once again felt like an outsider in her family. She remembered that they didn't want her and she steeled her heart.

Lucius noticed her looking almost longingly at them then watched as all emotion left her face and she stood proud fooling everyone around thwm that she didn't care. He was proud of her. There was no denying that, she was an eleven year old who could perform spells as advanced as 'Obliviate' and could hide her emotions as well as himself. She would be an amazing witch. "Hermione." He called out. "Yes father?" she replied.

"Come here." She elegantly walked towards her family. "Remember. You are a Malfoy. Do not let anyone walk over you and stay clear of mudbloods they might infect you with a disease." He said.

"Remember," her mother turned her cold gaze on her. "DON'T embarrass us or taint our family name. Understood?"

"Yes mother." Narcissa nodded her head.

"Good. We shall see you at Christmas time then." Lucius replied giving his daughter a quick hug and Draco a quick side hug. Hermione walked onto the train but before draco could join her their father grabbed his wrist. "Draco look after your sister and make sure she doesn't do anything rash."

"Of course father." With that he stepped onto the train and escorted his sister to the Slytherins carriage.

Once they reached the carriage Draco slid the door open and walked in as if he owned the place. "Hi Drake." Called Blaise, everyone else nodded in his direction. Hermione scanned the coach looking for Theo. She frowned when she didn't spot him. "Theo is at the toilet Mia." Pansy exclaimed. "Is he?" She replied acting nonchalant. Pansy giggled but turned back round to her conversation. She walked over Pansy and joined their conversation. About 10 minutes later Theodore walked into the carriage. Everyone quietly giggled when Hermiones eyes lit up. "Hey Theo!" She called. "Mya!" he replied and came and put his arm around her as hr sat down, placing a peck on her cheek in the process. Hermione smiled and leaned into her fiancée more. "I missed you."

"Did you?" Was Theo reply. Hermione frowned at the serious attitude. "Yes i haven't seen you in about three months..."

"Hey Theo!" Draco called. "Come here!"

"See you later Hermione." Said Theo.

"Ok see you later." Hermione said quietly before turning to face the girls again. The rest of the ride went by uneventful. By the time they reached the platform it was dark. Hermione started to feel relaxed. This was her territory now, the darkness was her playtime. "Do you want to see something funny?" She asked Draco.

"Yeah?" He replied knowing full well of the extent of his sisters powers. "Watch this." she discreetly pulled out her wand while Draco nudged the other slytherins to watch her. She mumbled a spell under her breath and watched as the train door slammed shut trapping the skirt and robe of a muggle looking first year ripping them in two, revealing her panties and bra to everyone. A couple of prefects rushed over and tried to cover her but the damage had been done. Nearly everyone was laughing now as the had seen her bright pink owl pants and bra. "Nice panties!" Someone shouted. Every single slytherin burst into laughter. Draco ruffled her hair affectionately and Hermione beamed. She couldn't remember the last time a family member showed her affection. "Firs' years ove' 'ere!" yelled what looked to Hermione a big oaf of a mini giant. "I'll see you at the feast." Draco whispered into her ear then waked off with his friends. "Bye." she made her way over to the hairy oaf. Once everyone was present they made there way towards, about twenty, boats. The youngeat Malfoy sneered. "Are these things safe?" She asked, well more like demanded to know. "You mus' be a Malfoy?" He replied.

"Yes. I am Hermione Narcissa Bellatrix Malfoy." She said proudly.

"I though' so. Your brother said the same ting when he wa' a firs' year." Hermione just looked back at the boats then back at Haggrad. She sneered once more before climbing onto a boat with a rather chubby looking boy. Theo soon joined them. "Are you alright?" She nodded her head. As they approached the castle, people started to gasp in wonder. She looked up and immediately understood why. The castle was a light with the warm candle glow and made the castle appear magical.

When they arrived inside, a strict looking woman was stood at the entrance to what the young witch assumed was the great hall. "Welcome to hogwarts." She said. "Now in a moment," the strict witch continued. "you will pass through these doors and join you classmate but before you can take your seats you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryfindore, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw," She paused and seemed to look directly at Hermione . "and Slytherin."

"Now while your here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points any rule breaking and you will lose points. At the end of the year the house with the must points will be award the house cup-" a strange squeaking sound began and the chubby boy from the boat ran forward and grabbed a toad from at her feet. "TREVAR!" he yelled. The professor dis not look impressed. "Sorry." he mumbled. I smirked. What an idiot. "The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily." she said then walked inside the hall. After a short while she returned. "We are ready for you now." she said. The doors opened and we were lead into a beautiful and grand hall. Four tables were set out what at what Hermione assumed were the houses. Candles were floating in the air and above that the ceiling had been bewitched to appear like the night sky. In front of us was a tatty old hat placed on a stool. "Now before we begin Professor Dumbledor what like to say a few words." An old wizard then stood up. "There are a few start of term notices i wish to announce. The first years please not that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students also our care taker Mr Filch has asked me to remind you that the third floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you." He then sat down again. 'WHAT!' Hermione thought. 'Father was right! This guys a maniac!' "Now when i call your name you will come forth, i sheall place the sorting hat on your head," She lifted the tatty old hat. "and you will be sorted into your houses." She lifted her scroll.

"Abott, Hannah!" She called. Hermione zoned out not really caring about anyone else. After a while she heard her name.

"Malfoy, Hermione!" she strod up to the hat and sat on the stool with confidence. It then began to talk in her head. 'Well well well another Malfoy. I see there is plenty of knowledge in this liitle head but there is an overbearing want to prove yourself not only to teachers and the world but to you father. I believe the best option with you would be' "SLYTHERIN!!" The hat shouted. Applause erupted from the snakes table as she walked over with a smirk planted on her face.
