Lying Faces: Chapter one: Summers over

Perfect by nature Icons of self indulgence Just what we all need More lies about a world that Never was and never will be Have you no shame don't you see me You know that you've got everybody fooled

Summer was over. Walking through the train Hermione could hear the chatter of her peers. Over the summer the small lanky bookworm had transformed into a confident full grown woman. Her legs long and toned, her stomach flat as a board, and her bust. well not to be excluded that had grown too.

Looking around her she could see that she wasn't the only one that had grown up. The girls were excitedly bragging about how they got their tans and the miniscule bikini's they bought while the guys were comparing muscles from the various Quidditch camps. From the looks and sounds of it everyone had a story to tell about there "awesome summer."

" 'Mione.. 'Mione!" the voice called breaking her out of her thoughts.

"Huh? I mean. what?"

" 'Mione, is that you?"

Turning around she saw Ron and Harry smiling like clowns and waving there arms around like little kids. Shuddering at the display she put on her smile and walked towards her friends.

"Harry! Ron! I've missed you!" she said overenthusiastically.

"Us too! How was your summer?" Harry inquired looking her up and down completely oblivious to anything else.

Blushing, Hermione set down her trunk and brushed a loose strand of hair away from her eyes.

"It was great!" she again replied with an extreme amount of enthusiasm.

"Super!" Ron interjected for the first time.

Turning back to Harry she dropped her trunks.

"Will you take these to the compartment? I have to run to the restroom. I'll fill you both in when I get back." She smiled as she turned away.

"Okay. but don't take long there is so much to catch up on!"

Once she rounded the corner her smile immediately dropped. God was the immaturity and child ness of the "Golden Boys" getting on her nerves. At least she didn't have to carry those back breaking trunks though. She laughed at how willingly he took them away.

"Jackass." She muttered.

"Now, now that's not the way a lady should be speaking." A sexy masculine voice drawled out from behind her.

"Oh really, and what praytell makes you and expert on a lady's etiquette?" Hermione asked in a sarcastic tone without even turning around.

"Trust me. I have my way with women." The voice said, jaw dropping on the last word as Hermione turned around. "Granger?!?"

"Malfoy.." she almost laughed at seeing his reaction to her.

Quickly recovering from his momentary shock Draco took in the sight. His former nemesis had grown over the summer. Hell grown was a bit of an understatement. His eyes traveled up her long tanned legs that lead up to the mandatory school skirt.. with minor adjustments. mainly in the length. Her hair had been tames and was now sleek and shiny but like every other guy his eyes lingered between these two assets.

"Looks like summer has done you well Granger." He smirked.

"Speak for yourself, Blondie, looks like Daddy put you to work?" she spoke while admiring the tanned muscular body. His hair hanging loose and messy for a change.

"if it weren't for the high and mighty Miss Granger saying that I might feel cheapened by that comment." He said with a mocking tone, "Besides where are your two ever present boyfriends? Don't tell me. they are clearing room in your compartment for train ride activities? It is such a long ride you know.."

"Ouch.." she replied feigning hurt.

Taking a step toward him she put on a seductive smile slightly licking her lips. "Jealous?" Fingering his belt she almost laughed. Who would have thought? The great Draco Malfoy at a loss for words.

"Granger. you've changed." he managed to stammer out.

Leaning forward towards his ear she whispered, "You will find many things have changed," trailing her finger up his chest she gently nipped at his ear and walked away.

Yes he thought things have changed.

That's it for today.. R&R!!
