Chapter 1: Off to a New World

"Love at first sight gives vision to the blind, many come from it but few are chosen to bind. De ja vu things confuses me, it's not magic when I met you – it's serendipity."

Draco Malfoy has had enough of his father's tyrants. He loved his dad, yes; blood runs thick, doesn't it? But as much as he did, he could not anymore stand the evil force Voldemort had placed on his father. He wished that he was the same father he was before. He could not forget that one time, perhaps the only time that his father had been genuinely loving to him.

It was his 11th birthday and he had just been accepted into Hogwarts. His father was so proud, his eyes shone like glitter and he smiled at Draco. A smile that still haunted Draco to this day.

'Will I ever see him that way again?'

He knew very well that the answer was no, but a little hope still flickered in his heart.

'Well, I'm all alone now. It's me against the world.'

Draco had run away.

His sixth year at Hogwarts had just ended and he had no plans of going home. His father didn't care anymore. His becoming a prefect didn't even matter to him.

He knew that the place to hide was the place his father loathed. The Muggle World. He didn't know anything about muggles, much less their lifestyle, but he didn't care.

As Draco sat leaning on a tree in some muggle park, he realized that it would have been beneficial if ha befriended a mudblood. 'Granger.' He muttered. 'Now if only I could find that mudblood...'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was a beautiful day in the Muggle World. Hermione Granger was spending the day in the park babysitting for Erica and Stephanie, her neighbor's angelic twins. She always saw twins as terrible, being exposed to Fred and George at Hogwarts. But these two were just lovely and she loved sitting for them. She missed her friends terribly but what consoled her was the fact that they were coming soon to spend the summer with her.

FLASHBACK

Hermione was sitting in a plush couch in the Granger's living room with her parents engaged in their usual late-night conversations.

"Hermione, we have something important to tell you…" Her mother finally said after so much fidgeting.

"What is it?" Hermione asked anxiously.

"We are going to spend the summer in Italy." Her father filled in.

"What?!? Why?!" Hermione exclaimed, surprised.

"We have to attend a dentist's convention."

"So, you're leaving me here? ALONE!??"

"Yes…but Mrs. Smith will be just next door to watch over you and to make sure that everything's fine."

Hermione stared wide-eyed at her parents. 'All summer. Here. Alone.' She tried to hide the smile that was itching to be shown but couldn't help it. She felt like jumping up and down or just do anything. 'No parents!' she thought with a smile.

"But we take it that we can trust you to take care of yourself and be a responsible young lady?"

"Okay…ummm…can I have my friends come over?"

"Yes, of course! But the house is YOUR responsibility, ok?"

"Mmmm hmmm…" Hermione said, not really listening to what her parents were saying.

She was already excited to have Harry, Ron and Ginny come over. 'I'll owl them first thing in the morning!' She thought smiling.

END FLASHBACK

Hermione looked different now. Better. Her hair was as bushy as before but she already knows how to handle it now, she had more delicate curves and she was taller. Nobody would see her as ugly anymore; that was for sure.

Because it was summer, Hermione was wearing khaki shorts and a body-hugging black spaghetti strapped top with the word 'Angel' on it in silver writing. She wore a pair of black thongs (A/N: I know what you perverted people are thinking…it's not the undies! It's the shoes.J LOL J) to go with her ensemble. She had her hair in a neat and high ponytail that it swayed whenever she would run or just walk.

Suddenly, she noticed a man leaning on a tree as he sat, his knees bended and with each of his elbows placed on them. He was in robes.

'Wizard?'

 Then she glimpsed the all-too familiar silvery-blonde hair grazing the man's face. 'No…it couldn't be…' She walked closer to be sure. She gasped.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

'Where the hell can that mudblood be?' Draco thought, frustrated.

But he didn't have to think about that for long. As if heaven heard his thoughts, he heard a feminine voice call out his name curiously.

"Malfoy?!?"

Draco looked up to see a confused Hermione. 'Wow.' Was the first thought that came into Draco's mind as he looked her over. Hermione was standing over him and the sight of her made Draco catch his breath.

'She looks better wearing muggle clothes. Who would have thought that beneath those school robes of hers is a full-fledged woman with all the right assets?'

It took him a minute to realize that he was staring at her and quickly regained his cool composure.

"Granger, fancy seeing you here. It's such a lovely afternoon isn't it?" He said in that trademark drawl of his.

"What are you doing here?" Hermione asked narrowing her eyes suspiciously.

"Actually…I was looking for you…" He said looking at her straight in the eye.
