A/N before I begin. I will be writing in 1st pov of Hermione until further notice.

RINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

'Bloody alarm clock it should die..' Is my first thought as I awake on the first of September.

(Remember now I know she is OOC but it's because of what happened in the summer)

I comb my fingers through my hair as I toss my clothes around to find something to wear. I'm surprised my mother hasn't nagged at me yet.

Finally I find clothes that will do after I realize I packed most of them up in my truck. I settled with a black tank top and a pair of jeans with some flip-flops. I apply my daily makeup and almost throw my trunk down the stairs.

"What's the sound!" my father yells.

"Nothing!" I yell back it's not like the house is going to fall down just because my trunk sorta flew down the hallway.

After fussing over the noise and breakfast my parents and I finally get in the car heading towards King Crossing.

~ King Crossing ~

Wow that was the most boring ride to the train station I've ever taken. I kiss my mother and father good-bye and run through the barrier.

All was going good until

*CRASH*

"What the hell!" I yell. "What kind of bloody genius stands in front of the barrier!"

"Er. Sorry miss" a blond haired guy said.

"Meh. just help me up." I say aggravated this jerk was just staring down at me without offering help.

He stretches out a hand towards me and easily lifts me up.

I mumble thanks and brush myself off. When I look up none other than Draco Malfoy is staring back at me.

Dude why the hell is he staring at me?

"Er. Hello. I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." He says while smiling and stretching his hand out.

"Pleasure" I say as I just stare at his hand. He reluctantly drops it.

"And you are.?" he stretches the words out as I still stare at his hands. (a/n does that make sense?)

"Granger. Hermione Granger" I drawl out as he normally would.

He gaps at me and shouts "GRANGER?!"

"And the amazing albino looking ferret speaks a last!" I say dripping with sarcasm.

"What the hell happened to you?" he coldly questions.

"I changed unlike some ferret I know," I state with just as much coldness.

"Watch it Granger or else." he says with venom

"Huh what? I'm sorry I stopped listening ages ago. Ta ta" I speak and walk away towards the train.

-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-@-

After I shove my trunk somewhere I go find a compartment towards the back. I pull my CD player out of my tote bag and being to listen to my music.

I soon notice that there are other presences in the compartment. I open my eyes to see three people I haven't seen since the end of school. Harry Potter, Ron and Ginny Weasley.

"Yes.?" I ask sweetly "can I help you with anything?"

"Her.her..mi..mione?" Ron stutters out.

"Yes."

"Wow. You look great" Harry says as he blushes a faint pink.

"Er. uh thank you?"

"Why the change Mione?" the young Ginny questions.

"What changes?" I ask stupidly

"Uh the hair, the piercing, the tattoo and what not" Ron begins to count off his fingers.

God he can be so stupid. (a/n no offense to the Ron-lovers out there. I'm a fan too)

"Ya Mione. You've turned into almost like a typical bad girl." Harry begins.

Great the owner of the stupid red head speaks. sort of.

"I wanted to be different. So I just went for it." I lazily explain.

(a/n for all you curious people her changes are her hair is a dark brown with red streaks, bellybutton piercing with is in view with a dragon charm on it. And she has a tattoo on her upper arm of weaving torns with a dragon all in black except for its red eyes. Ya I didn't know where to put her tattoo. Am I foreshadowing in my description? Hm. Maybe)

"But different like this.?!" Ron shouts.

Gr. How dare he question my appearance when he has no idea what I've been through!

"Get off my case! You don't know any reason why I could have changed. If you were my real friends you would just accept it and bug off!" I yell.

I grab my bag and run out the compartment door. I let out a sigh of frustration and find another empty compartment towards the front of train. I sit back down and drown myself in my music. I unconsciously begin to sing not noticing someone coming into the compartment.

I still don't notice until someone plucks the headphones off my ears.

"Hey I was listening to that!" I yell at the intruder.

"How am I suppose to hear myself think when you are singing to loud." The intruders shouts back.

I look and I'm face to face to Malfoy.

"I'm sorry Malfoy, I didn't know you could think" "Watch it Granger," he growls

"So sorry your highness." I say with sarcasm.

I shut my music off and put it back in my bag and stare out the window. Malfoy must be feeling the uneasy silence so he begins to converse with me.

"You look nice with this look Granger. Why the changes this year? Happy Pothead and Jolly Weasel not giving you enough attention" Malfoy drawls out.

"Aw stuff if Malfoy what I do with my appearance is no business of yours. And I don't give a flying pigs arse of what attention those two give me." I spat and continue to stare out the window.

I drown Malfoy and his sound out as I continue to stare out the window. I notice that we will be nearing Hogwarts soon and decide to change into my uniform.

"I'm so sorry to interrupt your wonderful time insulting me Malfoy but I must go change." I say on my way out. But I took a little detour and give him a kiss on the cheek.

"That is for being such a good sport. See ya later sunshine" I say innocently with sarcasm.

As soon as I am out of the lavatories the train slows down into the Hogsmeade station.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As soon as I find an empty carriage Harry and Ron bombard me.

I groan. What could they want.

As they sit a cross from me you could see that they were uncomfortable.

"Hermione, Harry and I. well.. we..just wanted to.say.. er. uhh" Ron rambles out.

"We just wanted to say we were sorry for our reactions on the train. We have no control over what goes on in your life. " Harry finishes for Ron.

I give in what else could I do. They have been my friends for 6 years. I lean over and give them both a hug.

"It's alright you guys. Just don't do it again. Be glad you didn't get me really angry." I say quite seriously giving them both a warning glance.

So the rest of the way we chat of things. Quidditch was one of the topics, which they were surprised I actually joined in and other things like muggle sports.

A/N that is the end of that chapter for now. Uh eventually there will be an explanation of what happened to Hermione in the summer besides the little argument with her parents. And some other stuff like that.

Reviewing is much appreciated. Constructive = good just nagging = bad
