CHAPTER 2: Surprise, Surprise

Hermione arrived at platform 9 ¾ with her parents on time.

"We'll miss you Honey!" said Mrs. Granger giving Hermione a tight hug. "Good Luck."

"I'll miss you too mum," said Hermione giving both her parents hugs goodbye.

Hermione waved and said goodbye to both her parents and quickly went through the platform. The Hogwart Express was now visible,

"It's so great to be going back to school," thought Hermione

Harry and Ron were no where to be seen so she figured they must already be on the train. So she gathered her things and loaded them on the train and got on.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 5 minutes before. Draco arrived just on time to the platform. He was saying goodbye to his mother.

"Are you sure your going to be ok mom?" asked Draco to his mother.

"I'll be fine Draco, don't worry about me ok" said Narcissa . "I'm going to stay at your Aunt Serenity's house for awhile until I can clear things up with me and your father. To tell you the truth, he hates both of us.

"Yes, I know. I'll miss you so much," said Draco giving his mom a hug.

"I'll miss you too," said Narcissa starting to cry a little. "You write to me ok."

"Ok," said Draco.

Draco said good bye to his mom and went through the platform, loaded his stuff on the train and got on. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione was trying to find an empty compartment when she spotted Harry and Ron.

"Harry, Ron!" said Hermione quickly walking over to them.

She gave Ron and Harry both hugs and they quickly got in to a compartment.

"So how was your summer, Hermione?" asked Harry

"It was great, how was yours?" asked Hermione

"Same." said Harry." My Aunt and Uncle don't really care about what I do now that I'm in my 7th year. There just glad I'm going to be moving out after the school year ."

"I'll bet." said Ron. "My mum's glad that the whole lot of us has moved out of the house. The only one who'll be left after I move is Ginny, and after Ginny moves out she will be so relieved that she won't have anymore kids to live with her."

Harry shrugged

"By the way, Hermione. Congrats on being choose for head girl." said Harry

"Thanks Harry." said Hermione.

For the next hour Harry and Ron were going on talking about Quidditch, and Hermione was studying her new 7th year books. Hermione got so bored she left the compartment to go change into her Hogwarts robe.

Still one thing was lingering in Hermione's mind.

"Who was head boy?" thought Hermione mindlessly.

She had been thinking about it since this morning and yet she wouldn't find out until she got to school.

"I'm going to do my self a favor and not think about it until I get to school." thought Hermione.

Hermione started to walk back to the compartment. With so much on Hermione's mind, without paying attention she had knocked into someone on accident. She had dropped all her thing that she had in her hands. She started to pick them up, without realizing who she had bumped into.

"I'm sorry, I-" Hermione started to say but when she looked up she saw no other than Draco Malfoy." Oh it's just you."

"Why don't you watch where your going next time, Granger!" Draco snapped at Hermione.

"Well nice to see you too, Malfoy!" Hermione snapped back.

"What are you doing out here? Where's Pothead and Weasel?" asked Draco suspiciously.

"That none of your business what I'm doing out here, Malfoy." snapped Hermione. "And for your information Harry and Ron are in the compartment right over there."

"I'm curious to know where your two shadows are." said Hermione

"How should I know? I need to get away from those two morons." said Draco

"I see." said Hermione nodding her head.

There was an awkward silence. Hermione picked up her books. And Draco was looking at Hermione.

"Your very quiet, Draco. Why haven't you called me mudblood yet? asked Hermione sarcastically

" Forgot, I guess." said Draco sarcastically

" Well,you better not call me that this year, because I'm Head Girl and I could take points off your house!" said Hermione .

Draco's eyes got very wide.

"Your joking right!!!" cried Draco.

"Why would I be!" Hermione snapped looking confused

"Because I'm head Boy this year!" exclaimed Draco

Hermione went into shock. She had no idea what to say for a few seconds. She was so mad that after wondering who head boy was all this time. Her mouth hung open.

"No! No! No No!" screamed Hermione stomping.

"So I guess you and me will be spending this whole year together, eh." said Draco with a wide smirk on his face.

Hermione glared at him.

"Don't count on it, Draco." said Hermione with both eyebrows arched.

Hermione started back to the compartment and opened the door.

"Yeah, you know you want me, Hermione!" Draco called back after her not realizing that Harry and Ron could hear.

Hermione's mouth dropped open.

"Oh yeah, I have a weakness for incompetent morons!" called back Hermione sarcastically.

Draco walked away

"He just called me Hermione!" thought Hermione. "He's never done that before."

Hermione turned around and saw Harry and Ron staring at her with their mouths hung open.

"What was that all about?!!!" asked Ron gawking at her.

"Malfoy is just being a jerk." said Hermione angrily. "I just found out that he is head boy this year!"

Harry and Ron's eyes got very wide.

"What!!!" Harry and Ron said in unison.

"That right." said Hermione. "A whole year with that git, Malfoy!"

"Your kidding me!" cried Ron. "If he gives you any trouble, I'm going to pound his face in!"

"I'm sorry, Hermione." said Harry shaking his head.

"It's ok. I'll find a way to avoid him". said Hermione. "Did you here what he said to me out there!"

Harry and Ron snorted

"Yeah, he said he wanted you, Hermione." Ron said

Harry and Ron both burst out in to laughter.

"Oh shut! Both of you!" said Hermione punching Ron in the arm.

"I think he.likes her (snort)." Harry and Ron both laughed. "Next thing you know they'll be snogging eachother!"

Hermione opened her mouth and then punched Harry in the arm.

"Oww!" laughed Harry.

"You two are sick!" cried out Hermione. "Argggg!"

"Yeah, and that will lead to.." Ron started to say but Hermione stepped on his foot. "Ow!!!"

"Ah, ah, ah. Laugh all you want!" said Hermione. "You two would probably make a good couple."

Harry and Ron stopped laughing.

"Yeah that what I thought!" snapped Hermione.

"We were just kidding." said Harry.

"That's even sicker than you and Malfoy!!!" said Ron in disgusted

"Exactly!" said Hermione.

Harry shrugged. For the next few hours Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat and talked.
