Harry Potter Fanfiction
Chapter One: A Good Place to Start-the Beginning
It was time to go back to school again, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Kids were gathered all over the place on Platform 9 ¾, including the usual few that had gone to the school for the past six years.
Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter stood talking next to the train while they loaded their stuff on. A few doors down stood another motley crew, Draco Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle.
~.~.~The Conversation of Hermione, Harry, and Ron~.~.~
"What do you mean, are in LOVE?" Harry exclaimed quite loudly.
"You know, love. The thing that runs in your blood," Hermione said has she draped her arms over Ron's shoulders.
"Love, the thing that you can get so easily addicted to," Ron said just as romantically as he wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist.
"No, but, when, no, better yet, why?"
"When? I don't know when it first started. I guess when we were second years?" Hermione thought romantically, still entranced in Ron's eyes.
"Oy-yoi-yoi!"
"Why? I don't know why people fall in love. Maybe it is destiny, fate, serendipity," Ron, who probably didn't know what half of those words meant, mumbled off.
"Okay, save it for later you two love birds. It is now time to get on the train."
"Oh! Right!"
They climbed onto the train and went to a car. They sat talking about the summer and the upcoming year. Hermione had made Prefect of course and they were trying to figure who had made the second prefect for Gryfinndor.
"Who else was smart enough to make Prefect?" Ron thought.
"Well, it has to be a guy, we know that for sure. Now, who is the smartest guy in the Gryfinndor house?" Harry added in. Ron and Harry both looked at Hermione. They knew she would know, she had to know.
"Of course you think I would know, and guess what, I do!"
"Well.spill!"
"It's Neville Longbottom."
"Him? HIM!?"
"Yeah, he's smart. Give him a break. He just has trouble sometimes."
"Sometimes? More like ALL THE TIME!"
The door opened and they all looked to see who was there.
"Mudbloods. I should've known you three would be sitting together." It was Draco Malfoy, what a surprise. He looked over to Ron and Hermione, noticing that their arms were around each other.
"Weasley, I should have known you would have gone for a mudblood. You aren't much above a mudblood yourself."
Ron shot up into the air as fast as a bullet. "Now you watch your mouth Malfoy! Don't you ever talk about Hermione that way! She is an amazing person, an amazing witch! You know, you really should get to know people better!"
Ron had grown very muscular since he had gotten onto the quidditch team. Actually, he looked kind of handsome and inferior to the others in the cabin.
"Potter, and I can't believe you can stand to be around these two. It's.disgusting!"
"Hey, they're my friends. I may not like the way they are acting, but the least I can do is support it. I don't have to dump them because of how they feel."
"Yeah, well, wait a few days, I'm sure you'll change your mind by then. Until later, beware Mudbloods!"
"Go away Malfoy!" Hermione yelled just as he left the cabin. Tears started to well up in her eyes. Ever since they were second years he had called her that horrible, horrible name.
"Oh, 'Mione. I'm so sorry about him." Ron gathered her up into his arms and held her head to his chest. "He won't bother you again, I promise."
Harry sat across from them; the blood within him heating up, though he promised to himself that he wouldn't let it show while Hermione was vulnerable.
Hermione could feel Ron's heart thumping within his chest. When she lifted her head to look up into his eyes, he kissed her forehead and brought her close to him again.
"The only thing is, Draco is a Prefect also."
"Why is that a problem, you won't be around him too much."
"Yes I will, remember, Prefects have their own rooms and dorms. I'll have to be with him all the time."
Ron pulled her close again and kissed the top of her head. Ron looked up at Harry and locked eyes with him. He mouthed, "I can't let her go through the year with him treating her like dirt. I'm worried about what will happen to her."
"I know, but we can only watch and wait and hope."
"It will be okay my love, it will be okay," Ron whispered to Hermione.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the beginning of the path to Hogwarts, tears dry and ready for the beginning of the year feast.
As they climbed into the carriages, Hermione tripped on the step and fell backwards into the mud that had collected on the ground. All of the sudden a voice was heard from above her. It was Draco, "So you're not only a mudblood, but a clumsy one at that!" After he said that, Crabbe and Goyle laughed the best they could.
"Ignore him, jerk," Ron said has he got down on his knees to help Hermione up.
"Thank you, let's just go." She climbed into the carriage without tripping and sat down next to Ron and across from Harry. She held Ron's hand and starred at Ron. Ron didn't look at her though; instead he looked out the window next to him.
She looked at him for what seemed like forever and then gave up. She turned her head to look at Harry and caught him starring at her. He had this silly little look on his face like he was in a trance.
"What are you looking at me like that for?" she mouthed over to Harry.
He snapped out of it and looked at her like she was crazy for thinking anything like that.
"I wasn't looking at you! I was looking at.at.the carriage behind you!" he sharply mouthed back.
"Oh." She looked out the window next to her. She could see the beautiful lake that she had gone into when she was a fourth year. On the other side of the lake she could see the Forbidden Forest. The Whomping Willow was still at the moment, but she knew that it might not be too still for too much longer.
A few minutes later the carriage was at the tall and magnificent castle.
Harry got out of the carriage first then Ron stepped out. As soon as he stepped out, he turned around and shot his hand up to the doorway.
Hermione took his hand and stepped out onto the first step. Ron then grabbed her up, one arm behind her back and the other under her knees. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he spun her around once and set her lightly on the ground standing up. She pecked him on the nose and said, "Thank you," as she looked deeply into his eyes.
All of the sudden there was a loud, "Awwwwwwww!" from the surrounding students and the two lovers knew that they had been seen.
They couple's cheeks turned a bright red (AN: Louisa red to be precise if you get that.) and Hermione, trying to get on with her life and forget what had just happened said matter-of-factly to Harry and Ron, "We better get inside before some professor gets mad."
When Hermione said that Harry and Ron looked at each other. Never had Hermione ever thought of a professor as "some professor". What had gotten into her?
They ran to catch up with her and together they walked up to the entrance and proceeded into the Great Hall, Ron and Hermione holding hands of course.
AN: Okay, I'm taking a new venture.and it isn't STAR WARS! Wow! Aren't ya'll so proud of me? Okay, read and review, you know you want to! So, take the time, review!
