A five year old Hermione Jean Granger giggled as she and her older sister, Hadley Jane Granger, chased each other around in a meadow near their house. Hermione had brown bush-like hair and brown eyes, while her sister had straight blond hair and brown eyes.

Then it happened. Hermione tripped over a tree stump and was about to crash into a tree when she didn't. She flew. Well, more like levitated. Hadley stood their with her mouth wide open.

Hermione finally came down, landing gracefully on her feet. Hadley looked at her for a little longer and finally screamed and ran away. Hermione was a bit hurt by her sister's reaction, but was happy it finally gave her an excuse to say this, "She's gone, you can come out now."

A pale boy with light blond hair and gray eyes came out from behind a nearby tree. "How long have you known I was there?" he asked.

"Since last week," Hermione answered.

"How did you know?" the boy asked.

Hermione shrugged. "I dunno," she answered. "It was almost as if I sensed you there. Like you have something about you that I've never noticed about anyone."

"You're a witch," the boy said very suddenly.

Hermione frowned at him. "If you're going to be rude-"

"No, it's okay!" the boy said quickly. "I'm a wizard!"

This interested Hermione. "Tell me more."

The boy spent about two hours telling Hermione about the world he came from, the magical world. Hermione was a very good audience, asking the right questions, gasping at the right parts. Finally, Hermione had to go home.

"Wait!" the boy called out to her. "I didn't catch your name!"

"Hermione Granger!" Hermione called back. "You?"

"Draco Malfoy!"

Yeah, I know. Crappy chapter. It'll get better, promise.
