Chapter 1 : The New York Hermione

Hermione woke up to a nagging feeling, but dismissed it as nothing more than excitement at seeing her friends again. She headed into the bathroom and quickly brushed her teeth. As she walked out of her bathroom she headed over to her closet and pulled out a pair of stretchy comfortable but snug cotton jeans, and slipped a dark brown corset top over her bra pulling it into place. 'Okay, makeup time' Hermione thought with amusement. She had decided to reverse into the old New York days. So she decided it was time for the Janet Jackson 'smoky' eyed effect. She couldn't wait to see Harry and Ron! At this, she grinned devishly.

Hogwarts; Platform 9 ¾

" Harry! Ron!" Hermione shouted happily as she ran towards them and embraced both of them in a hug.

"Err . . . hi! Um, do we know you?" Harry questioned politely 'Hmph' Hermione thought to herself, if he wanted to be that way. She'd give him a little something to puzzle over.

"Harry," she sighed, "Don't you even remember that night we spent together?" While saying this, she raised a hand and trailed a finger down his cheek and watched as both Harry's and Ron's faces turned beet red, and Harry was mouthing wordlessly at her.

"Oh my gosh! You guys! It's me!" Harry and Ron stared at her blankly. "Lord," Hermione muttered under her breath before saying exasperatedly. "You know, me, Hermione?. Your best friend?"

Hermione could have sworn she saw a light bulb click to the on button in their heads. "Hermione!" They chorused together disbelievingly. "Yes! Jeez, guys! It's just a bit of make up"

"Yah, but." Ron's voice trailed off as he stared at her breasts.

"Ronald Weasley!" Hermione yelled shrilly, though very amused. "My face is up here, not down there."

Harry sniggered as Ron grew red in embarrassment and his ears and neck matched his face. He quickly muttered an apology at Hermione.

"Well, come on you guys. Let's go get a compartment." Hermione walked off leaving a shocked Harry and Ron staring at the hypnotically sway of her hips.

Wordlessly they glanced at each other, to Hermione, and then back to each other before finally snapping out of the trance they seemed to be in.

About an hour and a half had passed and Hermione decided to go and maybe find Ginny, or perhaps Lavender, and Parvati, as Ron and Harry were still talking about Quidditch.

She wandered past an open door when she heard that familiar New York drawl say in mock surprise "Mione!"

Recognizing the voice, Hermione quickly spun around and stared at the compartment full of Slytherins and her long time best friend. "Bronche" she yelled in surprise. She ran towards him and embraced him into a hug.

Bronche looked her up and down appreciatively. "So we've changed to Little Miss Innocent now have we?" "Yeah, well, I figured I'd be a good little girl in Hogwarts." laughed Hermione, "What are you doing here?"

"Well I'm going to be attending Hogwarts with you, milady," he said with a small wink."

Hermione squealed in happiness, then remembered the crowd of Slytherins that were in the compartment.

"So Bouvair, you want to introduce us to that fine thang you got here?" Hermione turned towards the voice and giggled flirtingly with a glance at Bronche to shut him up.

"Draco, you don't remember me?" Hermione put on a fake pout and sad face. She leaned over to whisper into his ear. "Well, well, never thought I'd see the day when Draco Malfoy" she stressed his name, "thought of me, as a 'fine thang', as you put it." She reached a hand up to his face and reenacted the scene with Harry as she stroked a finger lightly down his pale cheek. "The name's Granger, Hermione Granger" she whispered seductively.

When she pulled away, she winked at Bronche, and waited for Draco to intake what she had just said, and sure enough. "GRANGER? And what's this about her outfit being innocent? But..b..but..Granger?" Malfoy sputtered, and Hermione laughed coyly as the other Slytherins looked at her shocked. She winked again and Bronche and leaned up to his ear and whispered. "We'll talk later okay?"

"No prob. sweet thang." He replied with a smirk and pulled her up for a quick light kiss on the lips.

Hermione smiled at him and walked out with that same hypnotizing sway of her hips.
