Hermione glared at the doorway after Ron left, then started to get up and get her belongings together. She dressed in the Hogwarts uniform, and then wore a long coat over it, to cover up the Hogwarts emblem on her shirt. She sighed, brushed out her long, wavy russet hair, and tried to clear her mind. "Don't think about Draco, ...er, Malfoy; don't think about Malfoy, don't think about Malfoy..." she muttered.
And obviously, her meditating wasn't working. She couldn't get him out of her mind: his deep grey eyes, his glossy blonde hair, his smooth skin, his succulent lips... "Wait a minute...SUCCULENT LIPS?! BLOODY HELL!!!" Hermione screamed. Am I in love with him? she thought. I can't be! He's my enemy! Even if he IS charming, and handsome... "Annoyingly handsome!!!" she muttered to herself.
She sighed again, and ran her hands through her hair. "Fine...maybe it'll just go away after a while..."
The sound of someone clearing their throat made Hermione immobilize. She slowly turned her head towards the person standing in the doorway. It was Harry. Hermione coloured slightly, and then said, "Er...Hello, Harry. Are we leaving right now?"
Harry stared for a few seconds, then regained his usual posture. "Um, yes, 'Mione. We're going now. Shall I take your luggage for you?"
She nodded, lips tight, pink cheeked, and deeply embarrassed. It wasn't enough that her two best friends didn't have enough time for her, no, they had to think she was corking mad; insane, too! "I hate my life!" she cried.
Then, she realized (too late) that she had said it out loud.

The ride in the rented car to King's Cross was uncomfortably silent, until Ron broke the silence by talking to Harry about Quidditch. Hermione rolled her eyes and focused on NOT thinking of Malfoy.
Once they got within clear sight of the Station, all of them realized it was very crowded. As the car rolled to a stop, Mr. Weasley stuck his head out the window to talk to a policeman who was standing and controlling the traffic. "One of the cars crashed. There's a huge hold up with the trains."
Mr. Weasley sighed, muttered a thanks to the officer, and rolled the car up to the parking lot. "Well, we know the Hogwarts Express will still be running, so...you kids can go along and get through. We'll go back to the Leaky Cauldron," he nodded to Mrs. Weasley.
All of the kids going to Hogwarts (Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny) got out of the car and hurried towards platform 9 ¾. They had almost reached it when Hermione got swept away from the other three. "Wait!" she cried, but her voice was lost in the crowd.
She stomped her foot and almost yelled, but then a flash of platinum blonde hair caught her eye. Oh, no... she thought. It can't be him...
"Well." A crisp, superior voice broke through the crowds buzz. "If it isn't...I don't believe we got properly introduced, have we, Draco?"
Draco mumbled something inarticulate. Hermione froze and turned slowly around.
"Oh, er, hello Mr. Malfoy." she greeted nervously.
"Please, call me Lucius," he said smoothly.
"Lucius, then. My name is Faith-"
Draco interrupted her. "-Black. Her name is Faith Black, father."
"Faith Black," he repeated. "Faith Black...it sounds...familiar."
"Oh, really?" Hermione said, even more nervous than before. She had actually gotten the name Faith Black from a book that showed what your name would be if you were a vampire. You tapped your wand on the books page three times and said, "Offenbaren Sie," and it would reveal your name. Though how Draco knew, Hermione had no clue.
"Well, off to the train, Draco," Lucius said suddenly. He gave Draco a little shove with the front of his cane and smiled suavely at Hermione. She smiled back tensely and picked up, or rather, struggled to pick up her large suitcase. Draco rolled his eyes and picked up both his large suitcase and hers.
Hermione gaped at him and sniffed huffily. "Well, Draco darling, we must be off," she said in a snooty voice. "Kiss kiss!" she said to Lucius and then took Draco's arm in hers and walked off towards the barrier.
Draco sneered at her and once they were out of hearing-range of Lucius hissed, "Get your arm off me, mudblood!"
Hermione put on a hurt face and said sarcastically, "Oh, I thought I was your girlfriend! Boo-hoo, now I'm all sad. Now I know what Pansy feels like! Boo-hoo!"
Draco (to Hermione's great surprise) smiled at her and said, "You sound just like that bitch!"
Hermione started to grin and then stopped. Because Harry and Ron were standing right in front of her, disbelief all over their faces.
