Chapter 1: The Nose and The "Trance"

"Oh man, I can't believe this!!!! Where is my wand?" It was 10:30,and Hermione hadn't even left her house, and now she had lost her wand. "Mom have you seen my wand? And why are you taking so long?" Hermione whined to her mother. 'Oh no' Hermione thought. She stood up from her crouched position on the ground. 'My wand is lost and mom is......' But before Hermione could finish her thought her mom came running downstairs. Hermiones jaw went wide open. She couldn't believe it! Her mother had used the wand to try to make her nose appear smaller. And it didn't work. At all. "How does it look? Pretty good, eh?" Her mother said, striking a pose. "Mom, how many times do I have to tell you to stay away from my wand!? Now were going to be late!" Hermione grabbed the wand away from her mom and shouted Unsmallius Snozeium to her wand. Automatically, her mothers nose went back to its normal size. "Hey, I thought I did a pretty good job on it." Her mom said. "Then obviously, you didn't look in the mirror." Hermione said.

Hermione and her mother said goodbye to her dad, and finally packed all her things into the car. Her dad came out side for a last word. "Now remember 'Mione, don't let any boys take advantage of you or anything." Her father warned her. "Dad!" Hermione blushed. "I'm serious sweetheart! Your not the little girl you used to be." What Hermiones father said was very true. She had matured tremendously over the summer. While visiting her Aunt Satine in Australia, she had gotten a golden tan that flaunted the features she had been hiding under her saggy clothes and her bushy hair. Speaking of hair, that had also been taken care of. Since she was in the sun for so long, it had turned into a golden blond, which also accented her features. It was no longer bushy and untamed, but it was beautifully wavy, with long layers and a face frame. She also had developed a great body from swimming and volleyball on the beach, combined with her newly developed curves. Add all that up together, and you get what every man wants: The perfect woman.

The car pulled out of their drive way at 10:36, and was at the station by 10:45 , thanks to Hermiones Speedy Tiriusum spell, which she performed on the tires to make them go faster without anybody noticing. Unfortunately, her mother took till 10:55 to say goodbye. "All right mom, I will write you, I promise…….No I can't call you. There are no phones……yes mom, I packed enough underwear……yes, I have money……no….…yes……..maybe……..OK MOM!!!!!" Finally, Hermione was on the platform, and getting on the train when all of a sudden, she was pulled back. She didn't even have to look back to see who did it. "Let go, Draco!!! I'm going to miss the train!" After struggling for a few seconds, she turned around to push him off of her. Big mistake. It was like she was in a trance. She had no idea Draco was capable of looking so good. "Well, well, well. It looks like our little mudbloods all grown up. She was trying hard to think of a comeback, but she couldn't even speak. She was sure he had put a spell on her. But he hadn't. "Well, move, will you!? Purebloods first." Finally, when the conductor yelled ALL ABOARD, she came back to her senses, and moved. She wondered why she had acted so strangely and why she had just let him pass without a snotty comment or comeback. 'Man, I must really be out of it', she thought.

Finally, on the train and ready to take a long nap, she just couldn't find Harry and Ron's car. 'Ah, finally, a familiar face', Hermione thought. "Hey Ginny!!! Do you know where Harry and Ron are?" Ginny gave her a weird look and pointed her finger to where Hermiones behind was facing. She turned around and found herself face to face with a stranger. At least, physically he was a stranger. He was almost a different person. Tall, about 6'0, and muscular. Obviously, all those years of quidditch really paid off. He had much greener eyes now. They almost hypnotized you. His hair looked the same, but darker, like a dark, dark black. He was no longer the lanky, thin boy she knew before. She was almost sure she had walked into the wrong compartment. "Harry?" Hermione called. Harry looked up from his wizards card game to find himself face-to-face with the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Then he realized who she was. "Hermione? HERMIONE!!!! Wow!!!!!" Hermione was so glad to see her best friends. Well, at least one of them was there. "Where's Ron?" Hermione asked, but Harry didn't answer, and Hermione noticed why. 'Is he checking me out?' she asked herself. 'no way, he's my best friend…..but he's looking at me like he is…. actually, it's sort of flattering….'

Finally, Harry was taken out of his trance, and Hermione out of her thoughts when Ron walked in. Same old Ron. Only much, much taller and more muscular. 'I guess the past 2 years of quidditch really helped him', Hermione thought. "Hey Hermione! How have you been? You look much tanner! Where did you go?" Hermione was glad Ron was here. He wasn't checking her out, like Harry did (not like that was a bad thing). Besides, Ron had a Lavender to check out. Hermione answered Ron's questions, and then said, "Well, now that we're all here, shall we sit down, or are we going to stand here all the way to Hogwarts?" Everybody sat down, and in an instant, everything was back to normal between Hermione and Harry. "So Herms, how did your summer go? I hope it was better than mine! Those fucking Dursleys…they had Aunt Marge over again." Harry said to Hermione. "You mean the one you blew up?" Ron asked. Harry shook his head yes and they all laughed, and then Hermione answered how her summer went. "Well, as you know, I went to Australia. It was the most beautiful place ever. Tropical birds and funny little insects everywhere you look. Maybe I will go live there and be a veterinarian. They have so many animals to……." But before Hermione could finish, she noticed the completely baffled look on both the boys faces. "Oh I'm sorry guys. I always forget to explain muggle words to you. A VETERINARIAN is a person who cares for pets. It's kind of like what Charlie does in Romania, except a vet works with all different animals…..muggle animals." But Harry and Ron still looked baffled. "I swear, it seems like you guys have sunk right down to Crabbe and Goyles level." Hermione laughed.

"They've already gone lower." And there was Draco. Standing in the doorway of their car. Harry and Ron stood up, looking ready for a fight. "What do you want, Malfoy?" Harry said furiously. "Oh shut your trap, or else you might spill shit everywhere, Potty." Malfoy said crossly. Harry was just about to jump on him, when the door closed all of a sudden and a piercing scream rang through the corridor. "YOU CLOSED THE DOOR ON MY DAMN HAND, YOU MUDBLOOD BITCH!!!" Hermione smiled with satisfaction. She thought about earlier, when she thought she maybe had feelings for him. 'Wow, I must have been WAAAY out of it.' She thought to herself. "Serves you right, you dickhead!" She loudly said. She quickly opened the door to let him get his hand out, and then shut it and locked it. "Wow!" Harry and Ron said, in awe. "I guess you really DID change this summer!" Ron said. "……And for the better." Harry whispered to himself.

Ok, ok, so it's no cliff hanger, but didn't you like the part where Draco said "shit might spill everywhere potty!" HeHe I thought it was so great!!!!! Well, on to the next chapter, my fellow readers and writers!!!! God Bless America and SoS (Save our Soldiers)!!!!!!
