Hermione's POV
Hermione stared out the window as green blurs rushed by her face. It was the first day back at Hogwarts, and she hadn't seen Ron or Harry yet.
"Where could they be?" but the journey was already half over, so she knew they must have gotten to Hogwarts some other way. "Why would they just leave me like this?"
"Talking to yourself again Granger?" Draco had slid open the compartment door without her noticing, and looked quite pleased with himself for embarrassing her.
Hermione blushed furiously. "How long have you been standing there Malfoy?"
"Long enough." Draco grinned from ear to ear as she turned even redder. "Why? Did you do something that may have been of interest to me and my perverted mind?" he smile and gave her a sly wink.
Hermione couldn't help but smile at his comment. "Yes Draco.you caught me, I was in the midst of having a feverish fantasy about you."
"Oh really? You want to tell me about it? Wait a min..are we on a first name basis now?" he gave her a puzzled look.
It slowly dawned on her of what she just said, but then decided that maybe this was the year things would change, and even if it wasn't.then maybe he would at least be decent enough to talk to her on the rest of the train ride. "Maybe we are.we'll see.so where are the two blunder heads today?
Draco took this as a sign of a possible conversation, so he went inside and took a seat across from Hermione. "Crabbe and Goyle? Oh, they are off somewhere, probably robbing the candy cart." Draco smiled for the second time in the last five minutes.
Hermione thought to herself, 'he looks really cute when he smiles, maybe he's not so bad.just misunderstood.right?' The train ride soared by as Draco and Hermione talked. Before they knew it, the train was pulling up to their designation.Hogwarts.
"The castle looks beautiful at night.doesn't it Draco?
"Mmm.it does actually.I don't know if I have ever really looked at it like that." Draco sighed as he looked at the magnificent castle with a candle in each window.
"Ya know? I had a nice time talking to you Draco, your not half as bad as you make yourself out to be." Hermione laughed and turned to look at him, but at the same time Draco turned to look at her.
"Thanks, I try." as Draco looked into Hermione's deep brown eyes he saw something that he had never known from anyone, she looked as if she really cared.or she at least had some 'concern' for him
"And I am sorry for that comment about your dad.it was really immature of me to say that about you." Hermione looked down at her feet, feeling totally ashamed of her rude remark to him in Diagon Alley.
Draco lifted her chin up with his hand. "Don't worry about it, and besides.I have said a lot worse things to you. So if anyone owes anyone an apology.it's me.
She smiled, "Thanks Draco.that means a lot to me," Hermione leaned over and kissed Draco on the cheek. But at the wrong time, just as she pulled away, Pansy Parkinson looked in the compartment door.
"DRAKIE! Oh my goodness! What did this dirty little hoe do to you now? She gave Hermione a disgusted look.
"Eugh! That mudblood just KISSED me! How vile! You better stay away from me this year Granger, I already have enough girls fawning all over me.I don't need your foul fingerprints on me." Draco rushed out of the compartment and slammed the door shut, leaving a very confused Hermione behind.
Hermione walked into the magnificent hall by herself for the second time in her attendance at Hogwarts, the first time Ron and Harry had taken a bewitched car to Hogwarts.but that's another story. But this time.where could they be? She was still very upset about her encounter with Draco, and she needed someone to talk to. Out of the corner of her eye, Hermione spotted two of her room mates, Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil. Not seeing any sign of Harry or Ron, she headed over in the two girls direction.
"Hey Lavender, Parvati, how was your summer?" Hermione asked with a nod to each of them.
"OH! It was great! We'll tell you ALL about it in our room tonight.did something happen? You look like you have been crying." Parvati asked worriedly.
"No.nothing, I am fine.just a little tired I guess. It's been a long day, in fact.as soon as I find Harry and Ron I am going to head up to bed.night!" Hermione hurried off in the other direction hoping to find her two friends. But Lavender and Parvati couldn't be fooled that easy.with their '6th sense' they knew when something was up.they looked at each other, and almost as if they were reading each other's minds they said it.
"Malfoy."
