Love. Life. Loaded With Money. D/H

Pupils of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry were rushing towards the Hogwarts express on Platform 9 ¾. A 17-year-old girl climbed into a compartment of her own. This girl was very beautiful, standing an average 5'5" tall. She had smooth, silky, just-below-the-shoulders hazelnut brown hair and big brown eyes. She was wearing a tight black tube top and a purple miniskirt with red swirls round the bottom of it. She was also wearing a pair of knee high, black leather biker boots (ya know, the ones that Goths wear??) The girl was far from being a tart, she just wanted to make the most of her life, instead of always being top of the class and acting quiet and shy. She really had no idea what her last year as head girl at Hogwarts, had in store for her. The girl was Hermione Granger.

Draco Malfoy, a tall 17-year-old guy (boy sounds a bit too young) had kissed his mother goodbye and headed for the train. Over the summer holidays, Draco's father, Lucius Malfoy had a romantic encounter with a young woman who Draco had never heard of. She was called Jennifer Lopez and was shockingly pretty. Draco suspected that Jennifer was a Death Eater like his father and decided that he wanted nothing of the sort to do with Voldemort and any evil plots, and would try to befriend muggle associated humans. Little did Draco know, that this 'J - Lo' woman was actually a famous muggle pop/movie star! Anyways, Draco made his way to the train and tried to find a compartment to himself so he could relax and try and forget all of the horrid things that had happened during the holidays (his parents splitting up.) Draco skimmed through the carriages and realised that they were all full. He had managed to skip the compartment where Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy had plonked their as$es and have dumb conversations about 'ways to torture "mudbloods"' Draco and his new attitude found this rather offensive and finally got to the last compartment. He had no choice but to sit there. As he walked in the comp he saw the back of a girl's head. She was reading a teenage book called Lola Rose and even from the back view, she looked incredibly stunning.

Draco was VERY aware that he could pull ANY girl that he wanted, maybe even a muggle born! **hint hint** 'Ahem' Draco cleared his throat waiting for the girl to turn around and pass out on the floor at his gorgeous looks. Although the girl didn't move, she just kept on reading and totally ignored him. Draco decided that this girl was a snotty nosed c-, but then he thought again: Maybe it'll have to be me to make the first move! - How simple can blokes get?!?!?! 'Um.hi!' Draco said nervously and walked in front of the girl so that he could see her face. OMG! It was Granger! Draco took and step back, and again, and again, and then banged into the carriage door! 'Ouch! Holy dragonfly!' Draco went slightly red and calmed down. Hermione looked at Draco and recognised him at once.

He's damn well hot! Just look at those adorable baby blue eyes and his cute floppy blond hair! He's the most gorgeous guy I've ever.WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING, HERMIONE? - She thought to herself - this is the evil, ghoulish Draco Malfoy that I'm dealing with. Draco and Hermione looked at each other for a while, that then led to an awkward silence, which was finally broken by Hermione. 'What the hell do you want, Satan Junior, with a filthy, blood-sucking mudblood?' 'Errrrr.' 'C'mon then, spit it out, we haven't got all day!' 'I..err..just wanted to say hi Hermione!' Draco could tell that Hermione was flaring up, but he couldn't help noticing her beauty, fashion sense and curvy figure (typical men!) 'Are you gonna stand there all day, Malfoy and stare at my chest?' Draco could feel himself going as red as a tomato. 'Oh, I'm sorry. My eyes must have accidently slipped in the wrong direction. Whoopsee-daisy!' 'Grow up, Malfoy. Stop acting so immature!' Hermione snorted. 'Fine. I'll stop acting stupid and I'll get to the point. I'm REALLY sorry Grange - I mean Hermione, for any upset that I've caused. I was really rude and obnoxious, just like my father, but now I'm a changed guy!' 'Oh just shut the (rude word) up Malfoy and go to hell!' Hermione answered back, but gave him a playful grin. 'Whatever you say Granger! I reckon that we'd both go to hell together!' Draco gave Hermione an evil smirk. Although this time he was just playing the game with her. Draco winked at Hermione and sat down opposite and began a friendly conversation.

~*~

Draco told Hermione EVERYTHING that had happened during the holidays. Hermione was nearly in tears at the end of it all, as Draco had told her about how Lucius would beat up Narcissa every time she spoke, or cried about his affair. Draco told Hermione the love he had for his mother, but hatred for his father. Hermione understood this completely and told him that this sort of thing happened on muggle TV soaps and dramas. Draco then decided to stop telling Hermione about his life and asked her, 'So enough about me Herm, (they were good friends by now) what about you?' 'Well, nothing very interesting has happened for me during the holidays. Apart from shopping * Draco rolled his eyes * and watching TV, playing basketball and I also went to a gig presented by ppl from MTV.' 'Basketball? Isn't that a German quidditch player?' 'No, of course not, silly! Basketball is a muggle sport where.' Hermione explained the game to Draco, who was very interested, as he is very athletic. The conversation grew and grew. Draco and Hermione were talking about all sorts of things; sport, music, bands, muggle appliances, and then the conversation changed. Draco and Hermione started to talk about things that normal teenagers would discuss; boyfriends/girlfriends, crushes and s£x. 'So Hermione' Draco began, 'Are you a virgin?' 'Isn't that a rather personal question, Malfoy?' Hermione teased. 'No of course not! You know you can trust me!' 'Whatever, Draco! Well, yeah I am a virgin, but I plan to hopefully lose virginity by the time we graduate!' 'Me too! I haven't got a girlfriend though, cuz I dumped Pansy because she was just a total user. Are you single Hermione?' The conversation was getting rather intimate. 'Yeah, I'm single and I really want a boyfriend. I'm surprised you haven't got a g/f yet Malfoy, all of the girls fancy you. You're utterly gorgeous!' Hermione bent over and kissed him on the cheek in a 'friendly' manner! * Cough cough! *

Draco moved Hermione's mouth closer to his and brought her into a blissful kiss (tongues and the lot!) After ten minutes of getting off/making out, Hermione realised that Draco's hand was on her 'rear end' and spoke, 'Stop touching me up you sexy ba$tard! 'Whatever you say, hot chick!' The flirting then died down and Hermione and Draco got back into sensible conversation. 'Draco, guess what?' 'What?' 'You're the first and only person that I've told.because I fell out with Harry and Ron over the summer vacation.' 'Why?' 'Well, I was trying to make the flamencio potion for Potions, to turn an ordinary solid into fire. I was staying at Ron's house with Harry as well. The Weasley's poodle, Fi-fi, accidentally knocked over my potion with her wagging tail. So it spilt all over Ron's rat, Scabbers (if he's still alive by the seventh book) and Harry's favourite picture of his parents. Scabbers shrivelled up, burnt and died. While the picture of Harry's parents burst into flames!' Hermione had tears in her eyes. 'Oh my goodness! It wasn't exactly your fault though, Herm. It was that stupid Weasel dog.' Draco comforted Hermione and took her in his arms. 'Yeah, but it was MY potion!' 'Don't worry, Herm. I'm sure Haz and Ron'll make up with you sooner or later.' 'Yeah I guess so, anyways. I wanted to tell you that I have been selected as head girl this year!' 'Wow! That's amazing! - Cuz I'm gonna be head boy!' H and D hugged each other, as they were so happy!

The train ride had ended and Hermione and Draco had got changed into their school uniform (without looking at each other!) Draco wore a baggy shirt with sk8er sorta black trousers/pants, a tie and a long black cloak with a Slytherin badge and head boy badge on it. Hermione wore the same, but she wore a just-above-the-knee black skirt, although sometimes she wore trousers/pants (like the one's that Christina Aguilera wears on the front cover of her album Stripped, but black - I wear them!) Hermione also had a Gryffindor and head girl badge instead of Slytherin and head boy.
Draco and Hermione walked to the castle among a large amount of Hogwarts pupils. They were NOT officially going out YET, but walked together hand in hand. Awwwww! They got quite a few hard stares from other seventh years, which were all pretty positive, that Hermione and Draco totally despised each other. The two friends arrived in the castle and entered the Great Hall. They had a look around and noticed Dumbledore waving at them to come on over to him. They proudly walked up to him, smiling, which turned many heads and Dumbledore spoke, 'Good day to you Miss Granger and Mr Malfoy. Am I correct to say that you two have finally put the past behind you and have become good friends?' 'Yes, sir, of course we have!' Hermione replied and smiled at Draco.
