CHAPTER 2
Hermione walked down the Hogwarts Express, looking for Harry and Ron or perhaps Ginny. She found them in one of the middle compartments talking about Quidditch. Ginniy sat quietly beside them. "Hermione!" she yelled when she spotted her. "Hey Ginny! Hey Guys!" Hermione called out to them. "How was your Summer?" Ginny asked. "Okay I guess. I saw Malfoy this morning." "Was he, ahhhhh-" "Just as big-headed as he always is." Hermione said with a slight laugh. "And no. I don't care what he says or does. Hey Gin, do you take Arithmancy?" "Yeah, why?" "Oh umm," Hermione looked around. She saw Ron and Harry hanging onto her every word. "I think we should go somewhere else if you get what I mean." Said Hermione with a mischevious look in her eyes. "Oh, I get it." Ginny said, catching her drift. "Why don't we go into the Head Girl/Boy compartment?" "Sorry. Can't. Its kinda part of the thing I was tell you." "Oh. Okay then, I saw an empty compartment a few metres down, perhaps we could go there?" "Sure." Ginny replied, excited about what Hermione had to tell her. Hermione dragged Ginny into the empty compartment. "Well? What is it?" Ginny asked, her eyes popping out of her head. "Hmmmmmm, let me see." Hermione drawled. "Oh come on Mione! Tell!" "Oh, alright. I was in the Head Boy/Girl compartment when I met the new Arithmancy teacher." "And?" Ginny cried impatiently. "He is only a year older then me." Hermione continued. "Geez that's young. But- why tell me here and not in front of Ron and Harry?" "Oh you see, he's really very attractive." Hermione said slowly. "Wow. So what happened? Whats his name? What does he look like?" Ginny's questions kept coming. "His name is Jonathan Mitchell and he's got light brown hair and amazing blue eyes and a sexy irish accent." "Oh my God! So tell me, did he say anything to you?" "Well he introduced himself and told me about what he did and well stuff like that." "Lucky bum." Ginny muttered to herself.

Jonathan had left to look around and found Harry and Ron playing Wizard Chess. "Hello there. Mind if I watch?" "Oh no of course not." Ron replied. "I'm Ron, this is Harry, Nice to meet you." "I'm Jonathan." He smiled. "So uh. are you new to Hogwarts?" "No, I've been getting that all morning. I'm teaching at Hogwarts." "Teaching!" Ron cried. "what subject?" "Arithmancy." Jonathan replied. "By any chance have you met Hermione Granger?" Harry asked. "The Head Girl? Yes I have. She's quite pretty." "Pretty?" Ron said. "Mate, what were you drinking?" "Ron! She's our friend!" Harry said. "Absolutely Harry and I intend on seeing her only as a friend." Ron replied. "You're her friends?" Jonathan asked. "Yes. We have been from first year." Ron said. Jonathan leaned forward. "What can you tell me about her?"

Draco had been sitting in the Head Boy/Girl compartment looking rather tormented. His arm had been throbbing since and he couldn't talk to anyone about it. He lay there with his eyes shut trying to think of something other than the pain. 'Why the hell didn't Voldemort even give the slightest mention of the pain I would be suffering?' He was about to dose off when Hermione came in to get her sweater. He watched as Hermione told Ginny to wait outside. She hadn't noticed that he had his eyes slightly open, examining her every move. He had thought about what Jonathan had said after he left. Those last words of his had gotten Draco wondering. 'Suit yourself. Hmmmmmm I wonder what he means.' Draco glanced at her long legs which she showed of with a short skirt. He saw her bend over to retrieve her sweater. 'After seven years she's finally grown up.' Draco thought. Hermione left the compartment and walked to sit with Harry and Ron. Her heart jumped when she saw Jonathan sitting and chatting with them. Ginny pulled Hermione in the compartment. "Speak of the devil." Harry spoke as Hermione walked in. "What? You guys were talking about me?" Hermione said worriedly. "Yeah we were telling Jonathan you spend your life in the library and spend holidays doing homework." Ron laughed. Hermione blushed for the third time that day. 'Oh man! This blushing is going to ruin my life!' Hermione smiled sweetly at Jonanthan as she had to push Ginny into the compartment. Ginny was stunned. "So Hermione," Harry started, "What was so important you had to tell Ginny?" "Oh nothing, Just, you know, girl stuff." "Oh." Said Harry stopping there. He didn't want to keep asking incase he found out what exactly their girl stuff was. "So..I guess we should change into our robes then." Ginny suggested. "Yeah, good idea. Ginny come with me. We'll find an empty carriage." "Oh no ladies, that won't be neccesary." Jonathan said. "Harry and Ron will stand outside while you two change." "We will?" Ron said. "Now come on guys, let the girls have their privacy." Jonathan ushered Ron and Harry outside while Hermione and Ginny changed. The girls came out soon after. "All done." Said Ginny with a childish grin. The group made their way to the door when they reached Hogmeade's station and what they saw through the door left them stunned. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
