By the time Hermione had got on the train to Hogwarts, she could barely contain her excitement when she saw Harry, Ron and Ginny, she wanted to blurt that she got Head Girl to them, but managed to contain herself. She breathed in the fresh air and spotted a familiar red-headed freckled-faced girl running towards her with excitement.
"'MIONE!" Ginny screamed as she rushed to hug the brown-haired girl.
"Gin!!! It's so good to see you!" she hugged Ginny back, "Come here you guys!", she said to Ron and Harry, who came over and hugged her too.
"It's good to see you Hermione" Harry said to her, smiling. Hermione glanced at Ron, who she expected to say something to her, but he just smiled weakly and blushed.
They had all found a compartment by the train had started moving, Ginny was sitting next to Hermione, and Ron and Harry were opposite them.
"So", Ginny said, breaking the silence "Mione, how was your holidays? Any interesting news?" Hermione knew that she was trying to squeeze out information about if she got Head Girl or not.
"Nope" she replied quickly. She smiled to herself at her little white lie.
"How about you guys?" Hermione asked Harry and Ron, who were already talking about Quidditch.
"Oh we had a lot of fun, about a million times better than the Dursleys!" Harry replied with a grin.
"Thats not hard to believe" Hermione said, smiling back at them.
She looked at Ron, once again expecting him to say something, anything, but he saw Hermione's eyes on him then quickly turned towards the window and watched the scenery pass by nervously.
Ginny saw Hermione's eyes look confusingly at Ron, who eyes were still fixed on the window.
"I need to tell you something" Ginny whispered excitedly into Hermione's ear, soft enough that Ron and Harry couldn't hear.
"Oh, guys? We'll just be a minute, we're, uh...going to see, um, Pavarti and Lavender! Be back soon!" Hermione told Ron and Harry, who nodded though evidently not listening, they were fixed on the Food Cart that was coming towards their compartment.
Ginny rolled her eyes "Typical boys".
Hermione and Ginny walked to an empty compartment, and when Ginny checked to see that they were alone, she whispered to Hermione,
"Guess what???" she said excitedly.
"What???" Hermione said smiling, Ginny's excitement was rubbing off on her.
"Harry and I are going out!" Ginny said, almost screaming.
Hermione was so happy for Ginny, she knew that she had had a major crush on Harry since she first came to Hogwarts.
"That's great!" Hermione replied cheerfully.
"Yeah, he asked me out around the end of the holidays, oh it was so romantic and it was so beautiful and we're going to be together forever, and I'm just so happy-"
"Gin, you're babbling now" Hermione said while laughing .
Ginny turned almost as red as her hair and giggled.
"Oh! I almost forgot, I also have some other news" Ginny whispered.
Hermione quickly interrupted, "Oh, before you say anything, what's the matter with Ron, he seems so withdrawn since we got here..."
"Well, this should clear it up" Ginny said. Hermione just looked confused. Ginny paused for a moment and scanned Hermione's face to see if she had any clue what she was talking about.
"Ron is in love with you!"
"What?!" Hermione yelled in surprise, she had NOT been expecting this!
Ginny explained to Hermione that in the holidays at her house, she had overheard Harry and Ron talking to each other talking about girls they like, and apparently Ron had blurted to Harry that he had really liked Hermione for a long time and was planning to ask her out.
Hermione remained in shock while Ginny was talking, how could Ron, one of her very best friends, be in love with her, Hermione? She didn't know if she wanted it that way, she was happy just being friends...but a little part inside her wanted someone to have more than a friend, someone to love, someone to love her.
"So he'll probably end up asking you out once he starts talking again" Ginny said, finishing her conversation.
"Oh, and when he does, act surprised...they don't know that I know, Kay?"
"Sure" Hermione said quickly. "So, tell me about Harry, how did he ask you??" she said giggling like a child.
"Well" Ginny said in a matter-a-factly tone, only to be interrupted by the sliding of their compartment door. Hermione and Ginny both spun around to see an oh-so familiar smirk and sleeked back blonde-silver hair.
"Well, well, well, if is isn't the little Weasel and the mudblood?" Draco Malfoy said with a smirk on his face.
*Don't let him get to you, thats what he wants, don't give in.* Hermione said to herself as she felt her blood boil at the "mudblood" comment. It was finally getting to her after all these years. She could see that the red had returned in Ginny's face, not red from embarrassment, but from anger.
"What the hell do you want Malfoy?" Hermione snapped to the blonde-haired boy.
"Oh, aren't you a feisty one Granger?" Malfoy sneered, he in leaned closer to her "But that certainly isn't the way to talk to you're new Head Boy, now is it?" The smirk returned on his face. Hermione wanted to throw up. She didn't know how she would survive through the year, living in the same dorm that Malfoy would be in, she knew she would go insane.
"Head boy?" Hermione said flatly.
"That's right Granger" he replied in an annoying tone.
"How much did your father have to pay for that?" Ginny said replied with a smug look on her face. "Oh thats right, he's in Azkaban isn't he? Too bad Malfoy..."
Hermione shot a warning glance to Ginny, she knew Malfoy had a very short fuse, and by the furious look on his face, she could tell that Ginny had really struck a nerve.
Malfoy grabbed his wand from his robe and pointed it between Ginny's eyes. "You better watch you're mouth, you little bitch, or I'll curse you into next century" he hissed into her ear. Ginny whimpered softly. She knew that he wouldn't be bluffing.
"Volarium" Hermione muttered softly, pointing her wand at Malfoy whose furious gaze was focused on Ginny. Hermione's spell caused Malfoy's wand flew away from his hands and into Hermione's free hand. Ginny breathed a sigh of relief and pressed her hand to her chest to feel her heart pounding.
"Malfoy, I do believe that pointing wands and threatening younger students with curses really isn't Head Boy behavior", she said teasingly.
Malfoy scowled and snatched his wand from Hermione and stormed out of the cabin, pushing away anyone who had the misfortune to be in the path of his raging temper. At that moment, Harry and Ron appeared at their door, "What that about?", they both asked, their mouths stuffed full of chocolate frogs.
"Oh nothing." Ginny and Hermione both replied, neither could be bothered to repeat the whole story.
There was a period of awkward quietness, but then Ron broke the silence,
"Um, 'Mione, do you think I could talk to you privately...now?" he asked nervously.
Hermione glanced at Ginny who gave her the thumbs up, she knew what Ron would ask her. "Okay, sure" Hermione said weakly.
Ron grabbed her hand and lead her to a compartment that was empty. He glanced around, making sure that no one would be able to see or hear them. Hermione could see that Ron was turning a deep crimson colour.
"Uh, M...Mione..." he stuttered, his eyes glancing at the floor "Do you...want ..want to go out...with mm..me? He mumbled.
"Umm...Okay Ron.." Hermione said smiling at him. She could see all the tension on his face being replaced with relief and he sighed.
"Thank you" he said breathlessly "I hoped you would say yes". He hugged her as they got up to return to their friends.
They reached their compartment and saw Harry and Ginny, who were engaging in a session of tonsil hockey. Ron and Hermione glanced at each other, Harry and Ginny were oblivious to their presence.
"Ahem. Guys...not a nice look.." Ron held back his laughter as he saw the pair jump back in surprise and turn red.
"Sorry..." They both replied breathlessly. They all shot looks to each other, then began laughing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MEANWHILE, IN MALFOY'S CABIN
Malfoy was sitting in the cabin, bored as hell. He watched his two buffoons for friends, Crabbe and Goyle, argue over which 'Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans' tastes the best.
"Definitely Chocolate Pudding!" Said Goyle, his voice muffled by the many beans shoved into his mouth.
"Nah, nah, definitely Cookie Dough!", retorted Crabbe.
They began to get into an argument "No", "Yes!", "No" "Yes!" "N-"
"WILL YOU BOTH SHUT UP!!!!" Malfoy screamed. Both immediately stopped and mumbled "Sorry Draco.."
Draco scoffed at the two boys and muttered to himself, "Idiots".
His mind began to wander, he placed his head on his pillow, then suddenly he drifted into sleep. He began to dream.
He was with a girl. He couldn't see her face, but he was kissing her. She was giggling and saying "Draco, stop, you know we'll get in trouble!. He knew the voice but didn't know who it belonged to. He looked up at her, he saw beautiful, deep brown, chocolate eyes, and he began to melt. He lifted his head up further to see this mystery girls face and he saw...Hermione.
He awoke very startled, why had he had a dream about Hermione? He saw Crabbe and Goyle staring at him with their chubby faces.
"What are you looking at?!" He snapped at them
"Nothing. You looked like you had a sweet dream though" Crabbe replied. Both began bellowing with laughter and impersonating a sleeping Draco grinning like a little child and hugging his pillow.
"Widdle Baby Dwaco!" Goyle said while looking at Crabbe impersonation, his mouth still full with food.
"Shut up you stupid dimwits" Draco shouted angrily.
*Geez, I'm going to need therapy after that dream* he thought to himself. He was disgusted with himself for even thinking about a filthy mudblood, *Though* he thought, *She has gotten pretty hot* He immediately realized what he had thought and shuddered *Snap out of it Draco, you're a Malfoy, you are better than everyone else* he told himself. He joined Crabbe and Goyle in their pig out and grabbed some chocolate frogs and every flavour beans.

Oh, also, if you review, can you mention what you would like to happen in the story (I have a lot of ideas but I want to know what you guys like.) Byebye!
