The Midnight Rose(Le minuit Est monté)
(A/N: y'know, I have NEVER finished a complete fic. I mean....i've done songfics but they don't require much dedication. So I vow, that no matter how messed up this fic turns out to be. I WILL FINISH IT! lol. Wish me luck.)
Hermione Granger stood alone in the middle of Kings Cross station in front of Platform 9 3/4. She shifted her weight nervously to her left foot.
Standing in the middle of a crowded station with a huge trunk and her cat, Crookshanks, in a cage on top of it made her feel like everyone was watching her. Not that she was the only one with a trunk, but she was the only one who had been standing in one place for about a half an hour. She sighed and pulled her coat around her tighter, it was unusually cold for the beginning of September.
"Where the fuck are they?" She wondered aloud with half exasperation and half worry. She got a few glares from the people passing by with small children. She smiled to herself. 'if only they knew...' she thought. Suddenly she felt a group of arms wrap around her from all over.
"Hey you guys." She said to Harry,Ron and Ginny. Ever since Voldemort had begun to rise again, everyone had been more caring, there had not been a fight between the three of them since last year.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Hermione said breaking the hug. And within a matter of minutes everyone was on the Hogwarts express. Ginny and Hermione were hanging out the window waving goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Weasly while Harry and Ron were being told something by Mr. Weasly. 'hmmmmm...' Hermione thought. But she didn't have any more time to ponder the situation, because at that moment the train whistle sounded, and Harry and Ron ran to the train.
"Bye everyone!" cried Mrs. Weasly. A small tear slipped down her cheek. Mr. Weasly grabbed her in awarm hug, and the train started. Ron and Harry walked into the compartment and took seats by each other.
"What did he tell you guys?" Hermione asked. Ron and Harry looked at each other for a few seconds then Harry piped up.
"Nothing much." He said. But Hermione could tell that he was lying by his tone of voice. 'oh well' she thought. I'll get it out of them sooner or later.'
***********************************************************************
Draco Malfoy stared at the Hogwarts express. He could hear his father's voice from the other night quite clearly.: " DRACO! YOU ARE THE DUMBEST BOY EVER TO BE BORN INTO THE MALFOY NAME! IF YOU DON'T GET PERFECT MARKS AT HOGWARTS THIS YEAR I AM GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!" Draco flinched. 'How dare that bastard yell at me.' he thought. Draco heard familiar voices to his right and saw the mudblood,pothead, and weasel walk past in a group. Draco just stared. He despised them so much it hurt. 'They think they are just the best at everything.' The train whistle sounded.
"oh goody!" he said sarcastically to himself. "yet another year of torture. At least I only have 3 more years to go..."Draco thought about this for a second. "...oh bloody hell, im screwed"
***********************************************************************
The train ride seemed shorter then usual. But maybe it was because Hermione fell asleep in the begining of it. Ginny moved to give her room, and eventually all four of them were asleep; Hermione spread out on her side of the compartment, and Ginny squished between the two boys with her head on Harry's shoulder.
~ Hermione sat on a small rock by the lake. The night air whipped past her. Judgeing by the temperature it had to be the begining of summer. She looked over and saw Draco Malfoy sitting next to her.
"Hermione...." he said. Then suddenly, Hermiones attention was averted to the darkness behind him. She saw the outline of a man. She glanced back at Draco.
"Look out!" She shouted.~
Hermione woke with a start. She jumped off of the bench, and realized she was still on the Hogwarts express. She looked out the window and saw pure darkness. 'we have to be close.' she thought. As if she read her mind, at that moment Parvati opened the door and walked into the compartment.
"Hi everyone!" she said in her cheeriest tone. No one appreciated it...
"Parvati.." Ron said softly. "come here.."
"Yes Ron?" She said stepping forward.
"closer." She took another step "closer" she bent over and was face to face with him.
"GET OUT OF HERE!!!" he yelled. Everyone laughed, including Parvati.
"ok, ok. I just wanted to say we will be at Hogwarts in 5 minutes."
"ok." They all said in unison. Parvati walked out the door.Hermione glanced around the room and noticed Ron glaring at something. She followed his gaze and saw that even through all the commotion, Ginny was still asleep, with her head still on Harry's shoulder. Hermione was going to laugh, but one look at Ron's face and she didn't dare. Harry finally noticed that Ron was staring at him, he gave a weak smile and a nervous shrug. Harry slowly and carefully got up, dumping Ginny by her brother. He went and sat on the other side of the compartment, and tried to look as innocent as possible. Hermione was going to sit back down when the train came to a stop. '* sigh* yet another year of fights and people trying to kill Harry. at least I only have 3 more years to go...........oh bloody hell i'm screwed.'
