Hermione woke up early the next day and finished packing. They would have to leave by 10:30 to catch the train home by 11:00. It was nine by the time Hermione finished getting everything in her trunk. She then ran through the bathroom to wake Draco up. But to her surprise when she entered the room Draco was lying on his bed dressed and ready to go.

"You're ready and all packed?" Hermione asked Draco as she laid down on his bed next to him.

"It might surprise you Hermione, but I am a early bird because if I don't catch my worm I get angry," (A/N I know! Corny.. So0 sue me!) Draco said in a sly voice as she lightly kissed Hermione on the lips.

"We have an hour in a half before we have to leave for the station," Hermione said as she jumped off Draco's bed. "How about we go wake up my friends and say goodbye?" Hermione asked Draco in a pleading tone as if she was a little kid asking her mom if she could have a piece of candy.

"Sure, why not?" Draco said as he hoped off the bed and grabbed his trunk. "I suggest we bring our trunks downstairs ready to go. Who knows how long it's going to take out to say goodbye to those three," Draco said as he grabbed his trunk and began to drag it out in the hall and then down the stairs. Hermione rushed to her room and did the same. She quickly called Amelia's house to see if they were all there. Amelia's mother Ellen picked up the phone and said that the girls were already off to the park.

"They're at the park," Hermione told Draco as she hung up with Ellen.

"So I assume were off to the park?" Draco asked knowing what the answer was going to be.

Hermione nodded her head and then ran into the kitchen to tell her parents what they were up to. Her dad suggested that they just stay at the park and that they'll come with the car and then they'll leave for the station from there. Hermione liked this plan. She said goodbye to her parents and then grabbed Draco by the wrist in a rush to get to the park.

"Why are Cara and Rebecca always at Amelia's house?" Draco asked curiously as he and Hermione walked to the park.

"Oh, it's just because of the holidays. Since there's no school there always with each other. Why they all go to Amelia's house I have no idea," Hermione said with a huge smile on her face. Hermione really did love these girls. She seemed to know everything and anything about them. In a way he was sort of jealous of the relationship that Hermione had with her friends. Draco didn't have any friends besides Hermione. Yes, he was becoming pretty good friends with Harry and Ron. Even Ginny. But he wouldn't risk his life for them. The only real friend Draco ever had was Hermione.

Draco's thoughts were interrupted by girls screaming. He looked up from the ground and saw that he arrived at the park. Hermione had already ran into the arms of her three friends. Draco waved hello. When they all separated Draco say a young man behind them gazing at Hermione.

"Kyle!?!" Hermione yelled with excitement as she ran towards the man. Draco grew angry and even angrier when the two embraced in a very long hug. He couldn't watch it any longer. He walked towards the two and cleared his throat.

"Oh my, sorry honey," Hermione said to Draco and put her hand around his waist. "Kyle this is Draco, my boyfriend," Hermione said as she saw Draco look Kyle up and down with a sort of envious look. "Draco this is Kyle," Hermione said as she pointed to Kyle.

Both young men pretty much grunted to say hello and shuck hands. It seemed that they were trying to break each others hand and they didn't even know each other.

"Boys," Hermione said quietly under her breath.

They all began to talk. Hermione cuddled up with not Draco but her three best friends. They were all laughing of old times. Draco and Kyle kept giving each other envious looks, both not saying much.

"And remember the time two summers when Mione and Kyle were making out in that closet at Hannah Keler's party and when they were interpreted by none other then Mr. Keler when he came home surprised to a house full of teenagers," Rebecca said in between laughing hysterical not realizing what she just said.

This got Draco's attention. He shot a look to Hermione who began to blush. Just then Hermione's parents pulled up and began to honk the horn.

"That's mum and dad," Hermione said as she got up. "Draco and I better go if we want to catch our train home," Hermione had been saved, for now.

"Bye girls," Hermione said as tears rolled down her cheeks. She hated saying goodbye to her friends. They all jumped Hermione and gave her huge hugs. They didn't want to let her go, ahh the power of best friends. They all said goodbye to Draco, that his everyone but Kyle he still had his gaze on Hermione.

"I'll see when I come home for Easter break!" Hermione yelled back to her friends as her and Draco got in the car.

Mr. Granger began to drive to the train station. For the first five minutes there was complete silence. Hermione was glaring out her widow as her town passed by her. She was thinking of her friends and how much she missed them already. Also she was obviously trying to avoid Draco's glare.

"So, Hermione, glad to see Kyle again?" Mrs. Granger asked as she looked back at Hermione. "He called last night while you and Draco were on the hammock," Mrs. Granger continued, "But you two looks cute, I didn't want to disturb you." Mrs. Granger finished.

"Yea," Hermione said simply. She obviously didn't feel like talking but her mother didn't seem to pick up on that.

"He was in France for the holidays," Mrs. Granger said. "He wasn't supposed to come back till tomorrow but when he heard word from the girls that you were home he asked his parents if he couldn't back early." Mrs. Granger finished just as they pulled up to the station. The Grangers and Draco existed the car and began to walk towards the platform.

They all said their goodbyes and then with that Draco and Hermione went through the platform. Hermione and Draco then got on to the train still not one spoken between the two. They found the Head compartment and took seats opposite of one another. It was Draco who spoke the first words.

"So, this Kyle guy seemed pretty eager to get home early to see you," Draco said to Hermione as he crossed his arms in front of him and leaned forward to get a little closer to Hermione.

Hermione then realized that this was going to definitely be one long train ride back to school.

"I can explain everything," Hermione began as she moved across the compartment and sat next to Draco.

Oh btw to all those Draco//Hermione shippers me and my budd mealie realized that this hope for a relationship between the two in the actual books [2 my delight.. Mealie pretty much just laughed at me and said I was begging to get 2 obsessed like her! ] anywho.. We realized that James and Lily pretty much hated each other in Hogwarts. They were always arguing [or at least when they were in 5th year] anywho. They were always arguing but James had a crush on Lily.. So for all we know Draco has a crush on Hermione.. There's a very thin line between love and hate!! Ahh! So0 happy. I really want that relationship to come tru.. Just think of all the fights that would break out.. All the arguments between houses it would cause.. All the rumors! Ah! Okay im going 2 stop now.. I officially think I reached an all time high! Lol ok yea REVIEW! -melissa
