Chapter 3- The Jerk Named Malfoy

The day they were expected to leave for the Hogwarts train, Hermione got a surprise.
It was early in the morning and she woke up. Glancing down after she stood up, she noticed blood all over the covers.
"Umm.umm." Hermione said, waving her hands. Liz glanced up and noticed Hermione's panicked look.
"Hon, whats the matter?" Liz said, just glancing up from the last minute trunk rearranging she was doing.
"I.and.uh?" Hermione said, her mouth gaping open. Liz stood up and walked over, glancing down at the bed, then chuckled. She walked back over to her trunk, and grabbed something wrapped in plastic, handing it to Hermione, who stared like Liz was crazy.
"It's a pad, hon. You stick it to your underwear. Girl, you got your period! Become a woman like us. And damn it happened late for you!" Liz said, giggling, then went back to her trunk.
"I.uh.thanks. Really. I would've never expected.I mean.gosh!" Hermione said, stammering.
"Well, hurry up, we have to catch a train remember!?" Liz said, trying her best to sound friendly, even though inside she was tormented with hate about this whole place.
"Yuh..yeah." Hermione said. She looked as if she was about to bust in tears, but Liz didn't seem to really notice, to concerned on trying not to break a nail while getting her trunk out of the room.
After all that, Hermione trudged downstairs, setting out for breakfast, and was surprised to see Harry, Ron, Jen, Liz, and Christine all already eating.
"Hi Hermione, did everything work out for you?" Liz asked, smiling politely. Hermione felt quite embarrassed to bring it up at the breakfast table.
"Yeah, yeah, oh I can't believe we're going back to Hogwarts!" Hermione exclaimed, attempting to change the subject. Just then she heard Fred and George talking.
"I can't believe we are also." Fred said scowling, and George nodded his head. Mrs. Weasley had made Fred and George apply for Hogwarts again, because she didn't want them to be dropouts, she wanted them to get their N.E.W.T.S.
Soon it was time to go. Fred, George, and Liz apparated, but everybody else had to walk.
"So, is this Hogwarts cool?" Jen asked curiously to everybody.
"Best ever!" Harry grinned. Him and Ron had been starting to get along with Jen, thinking of her as another Hermione.
"I miss Eric Jen." Christine said. It was the first words Ron and Harry had heard her spoken.
"He's just a boy. You sound as bad as Liz! Josh.Josh. Josh! Chr, I know you have it inside of you to be friendly." Jen said, smiling. Then she casually drifted back over to Harry, Ron, and Ginny, joining in on their conversation.
Hermione glanced at Christine, who was huddling her arms around her chest. She yearned to say something, but didn't think it would sound appropriate, or it might scare her.
"Hey, 'moine! Check this out!" Ron yelled, motioning for Hermione to come over and look at what everybody else was looking at. She shook her head no, and was surprised that Ron didn't care. He just shrugged and went back to eyeing whatever they were looking at.
Mrs. Weasley was trudging behind everybody, and Christine smiled weakly at her in attempt to at least get a friend.
Soon everybody was at the train station. Jen was babbling on about how she had never heard of a 9 ¾ in a train station before, and Ron and Harry were trying not to laugh.
Closing in on quarters 9 and 10, Jen began to get confused. "What, where is it?" she exclaimed looking around. Ron busted up laughing, and Hermione slapped the back of his head.
"Ron, shush, we're going to be late! Goodbye Mrs. Weasley!" She said, exasperated that the people who usually paid her so much attention were ignoring her.
Everyone followed Hermione in suit when saying goodbye to everyone. Jen still looked confused, only a look of annoyance was spreading across her face.
"You have to believe, and trust me. Do you trust me?" Ron asked Jen, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"I.uh." Jen said, feeling awkward at having his hand on her shoulder. Harry laughed.
"Just trust us Jen! If we did anything to hurt you, then we really wouldn't be your friends, now would we? So just believe." Harry said. Then he gave Jen a shove, and she went flying through the wall. The next minute they looked she was gone.
"Wow!" Christine yelled, for once being friendly. "That is so gnarly. Oh my god, where did she go! Wow, that's like, dangerous! Whoa." Everybody looked taken aback by this sudden outburst, even Mrs. Weasley.
Ron went through next, then Harry. Hermione shoved Christine, then went last. Jen was standing their looking confused when Ron popped through.

"You! Oh my god I can't believe you two!" She exclaimed when Harry came out after Ron. "You could've at least warned me!"
Hermione flew through, and her feelings were totally hurt by Ron and Harry flirting with Jen. Christine came after.
"Oh my god! Awesome! Wow, gnarly, just so great!" Christine exclaimed. Hermione stood beside her, staring angrily at Ron and Harry with her hands on her hips.
Fred and George both had their hands over Liz's shoulders, and Liz seemed to be enjoying the attention thoroughly. Hermione saw this also, and was even more pissed. Why were all these girls getting the attention the she used to get?
Soon everybody boarded the train. Fred, George, and Liz wandered to find the compartment containing any seventh years that they knew, because Fred and George lost their companions from seventh year.
Harry led Jen, holding her hand while dragging her through the train to the compartment that contained Neville. They finally found it, and Jen was giggling by the time since Harry could not find his friend.
"Hey Neville, mind if we join ya?" Ron asked.
"I don't care." Neville said, glancing nervously at Jen and Christine. "Who.who are they?"
"This is Jen." Hermione said sourly, giving a look of distaste at Jen, who just smiled back. "And this is Christine."
"Oh.cool." Neville said.
"So what have you been doing all summer?" Harry questioned, plopping into a seat.
"Not very much. My grams was over protected since the.err.incident." Neville said, much regretting turning up past problems. "I'm sorry Harry, I didn't mean."
"Its okay Neville, I should be the one whose sorry." Harry said, then his gaze shifted to the window, and he remained silent. Ron slid Jen into a seat, then sat with Harry.
"Whats the matter with Harry?" Jen asked, the conversation totally over her head.
"Its nothing." Ron said quickly. Hermione eyed Jen with even more distaste for interrupting Harry's sadness, because he was now looking at Jen with tear filled eyes.
"Look what you di-" Hermione said, aiming this to directly stab Jen in the feelings, but then Harry laughed.
"Jen.so innocent. So when the food cart comes around, I'll buy everybody chocolate frogs!" Harry said, sighing heavily. Jen didn't get it. He was just crying, and now he was laughing. She expected to see a rainbow cross over his face.
Just then Malfoy barged in, Crabbe and Goyle by his side.
"Oh look, its Pottey here, and Redhead, Mudblood, Bad-ass at school kid, and.whoa sexy! Whats up honey." Malfoy said, walking over to Jen.
"Stay away from her. She doesn't need to get mixed in with Death Eaters like you." Harry spat at Malfoy.
"Whoa.am I scared of Pottey Wottey? No.Just cause he sends my dad to Azkaban.buddy you're going to be dead soon." Malfoy said, sitting down beside Jen. "Now."
"Wha.yo whats going on!" Jen yelled. She stared at the blonde boy who was sitting beside her, then at Harry, then at Ron.
"Malfoy.I'm gonna get you." Harry jumped up, about to pound him into mush.
"Dead.just like your bastard parents." Malfoy went on. Ron grabbed Harry's shirt to hold him back, then held him locked in his hands.
"Let me kill him!" Harry exclaimed, gritting his teeth.
"Wait.dead. Parents. Bastards. Yo, this is to out of my hands. Get outta my seat!" Jen yelled.
"Sexy, why so soon? Don't you wanna get it on?" Malfoy said, raising his eyebrows.
"I may not be a virgin, but I aint no fucking slut!" Jen yelled. Malfoy looked down at her breasts.
"Yeah right bitch. You don't need to hang out with losers like these." Malfoy smirked. "Weasley here is a hand me down thing, Potter thinks he's so cool! Granger is a fucking mudblood! And Longbottom is so stupid he's so dumb!"
"I don't give a damn!" Jen stood up, but Malfoy shoved her down. "You aint going no where but with me. Crabbe, Goyle." Crabbe and Goyle grabbed Jen, who tried to squirm away, but then she screamed. The deafening sound made Crabbe and Goyle drop her, and Jen bitch-slapped Malfoy.
"Yo.like I said, ain't no slut so no. You don't go insulting people like that yo it ain't cool ain't ghetto don't know what you think it is. Its ignorant!" Jen yelled, and you could tell she was pissed off.
Malfoy smirked. He grabbed Jen and pulled her into a kiss. Jen struggled and got away five seconds later. "Sorry boy, that'll cost you five galleons punk."
"Whatever whore." Malfoy said, then handed her the five galleons. The three of them left, and the second they did, Jen went back to her seat and started bawling.
"Are you.are you alright?" Hermione hesitated, then ran over to Jen so she could give her support. She finally felt a tad close to Jen, because it was just a girl thing.
"I.nothing. Its just, guys like that, they act like we are in the world to be their sex slaves. Yeah, I'm a girl. I love though. I just don't do it when somebody asks me to. And I only did it two other times. Sure it was great.but I was in love. Love for me is odd. You can fall out of love. Which is what happened to James and me. And me and Crow. Out of love. But they act like such pigs!" Jen said, tears streaming down her face. Hermione felt a tenderness for Jen, and hugged her.
"There, there, its okay. At least he didn't rape you or anything. Or you get dragged away with Crabbe and Goyle. I.oh my god! Your bleeding!" Hermione said. She had scratch marks all over her arms and chest.
Harry was still fuming with fury, and Ron was intriugued. Jen was very small built, and she won a fight like that. Jen wiped her tears.
"I'm just.sorry. I know this is something petty to cry about. I mean, if Harry lost his parents.yo that ain't cool. I lost my uncle. Watched him die. It was all a stupid accident. But accidents happen." Jen said, sighing.
Just then Malfoy came back in. He smirked at the hate ridden faces of everybody there.
"Hey bitch." Malfoy said. He blew her a kiss. "Next time we'll have to add some tounge to that kiss."
"Faggot." Jen said, and spit at him. He looked disgusted for a minute, then softened up.
"What, don't you enjoy kissing. Your such a slut and all. You probably do it every day." Malfoy laughed.
"Twice you man whore. Twice." Jen said through gritted teeth.
"Whatever. I just came to collect the 'prefects.' At least I think they are prefects. Pre DORKS is more like it." Malfoy said. "Come on you two."
"Whatever." Hermione moaned, and Ron stood up.
"Bye." Ron lipped to Jen. She smiled. "See ya Harry." Harry waved, then shifted his gaze to Jen. She was crying again. She had her head against the window, resting it there. He just noticed that Luna was here, reading The Quibbler.
"Jen?" Harry said. "You can come over here if you want."
"No." Jen said, her voice sounding coarse. "No thank you. Actually. Yeah, that would be nice." She stood up and sat next to Harry.
"We're almost at Hogwarts." Harry said. Jen just nodded her head, and looked down at her hands. Harry cupped Jen's chin in his hand. He noticed a dimple on her chin. It made her look even cuter. "Come on, get happy again."
"Yeah. Whatever." Jen muttered. She was fiddling with her hands on the table. Harry set his hand on one of Jen's. She looked up, and smiled. "Fine. I'll get happy."
"There's Hogwarts!" Harry exclaimed, pointing to a castle in the distance.
"Eww! A castle. Is their a hunchback there? Sorry, but I am afraid of castles. Something about cannibal hunchbacks living their, freaks me out. Sorry, movie I saw before." Jen said, chuckling. Harry laughed too, and smiled. He felt happy, holding Jen's hand.
