Pairing:

Draco Malfoy + Hermione Granger

Chapter One: A Surprising Change

Hemione looked up at the portraits of her family tree on her bedroom wall, thinking about the magical ones back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Oh how she missed the place! Fortunately, she would be returning the following morning. She smiled thinking about this, then fell back onto her bed, falling asleep almost immediately.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The next morning, Mr. & Mrs.Granger drove their daughter to King`s Cross Station, and left after telling her over and over again to write. Hermione promised that she would, then bid her parents farewell. When she got onto Platform 9 ¾, she saw her best friends, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley waiting for her. "Harry! Ron!", she cried, rushing over to them, giving each of them bear hugs.
When the three friends had finished filling each other in on their summers, they began to board the train, only to find Draco Malfoy standing before them, smirking.His two flunkies, Crabbe and Goyle, stood on either side of him, also smirking. Draco looked them over in turn, obviously looking for something he could say to anger them. But when he got to Hermione, his gaze lingered, for she had indeed grown prettier over the summer-her once bushy and unruly hair was now straight and shining, her waist had become slimmer, and her chest fuller. Hermione scowled slightly when he met his gaze.
"Enjoying yourself, Malfoy?", she asked, smirking triumphetly. Malfoy threw her smirk right back at her, smirking at her as well. "Actually, I was about to ask you the same thing." Ron was growing angrier by the second as the two threw insults back and forth. "Shut up, you insufferable git!", he shouted, his face turning scarlet with rage. "Aww.. The ickle Weasal sticking up for his little girfriend?", he said in a mocking tone. Ron growled, then threw himself onto Malfoy, but Crabbe and Goyle grabbed him off before he could land a decent punch.
Hermione stomped up to Malfoy, stood on her toes (Malfoy was at least 5 inches taller than her.), and poked Malfoy in the chest.
"I-am-not-his-girlfriend!", she screamed, pronouncing each word with a hard poke in Malfoy`s chest. Malfoy grabbed her hands before she could continue. He lowered his head, and pressed his lips against Hermione`s, kissing her roughly. Hermione protested for the first few seconds, but before she could pull free, Malfoy deepened the kiss, forcing her lips apart, and tracing her mouth with his tongues. Hermione stopped protesting abruptly, melting into the kiss, their tongues dancing together for a few pleasurable moments, until Malfoy slowly pulled out of the kiss, allowing Hermione to catch her breath.
By now, Ron had fainted in shock, and Harry had become paralyzed, for he was just as shocked. Crabbe & Goyle stared in surprise for a few seconds, but quickly recovered. (They already knew that Malfoy had a "thing" for Hermione.^.^)Malfoy and Hermione hadn`t noticed any of this, for they were still entranced with the kisses they had just shared. "Well then, you`re free the taking, Granger," he said in reply to her earlier tantrum, a smirk playing on his lips. Hermione decided to tease him while she had the upper hand. "Hmm. Well, Malfoy, you`ll have to prove yourself worth, you know-"
"Shut up," Malfoy said, pressing his lips onto Hermione`s again. "You amazing git," Hermione breathed as Malfoy licked her lips. They continued snogging for the rest of the train ride to Hogwarts, both completely unaware of the chaos going on around them. (Ron had regained conciousness, and had tried to smack Draco silly, but Crabbe and Goyle were holding him back, and despite his kicking, yelling, and struggling, he could not pull free to "save" Hermione. Harry was still shocked at the scene in front of him, and he didn`t even notice when Crabbe, Goyle and Ron rolled in front of him, wrestling the shit out of each other. And despite all this, Malfoy and Hermione just kept on kissing. Wow. LOL)
