Chapter 3 One Train Ride No Draco

"Is Hermione joining us with Draco?" Harry asked Ron while they were getting settled in on the train.

"Yeah, she's coming but not with Draco he had to floo home for something, his dad doesn't know what we are doing and hopefully never will because if he knows where we are going then You-know-who will know where to get you." Ron recoiled at the thought.

"Hi guys, 'sup?" Hermione walked in looking very giddy.

"Hermione I was just wondering, well, how did you and Draco Hook up?" Harry wanted to know but he didn't want to know either, he had wanted to ask her since he found out.

"I was getting worried you guys would never ask. Ginny of course knows the story, you know girl talk, but she won't mind sitting trough it again will she?" Hermione winked at Ginny. Harry had a feeling that Ginny and Hermione talk to each other about him and Draco a lot. 'Great,' he thought.

~*~Hermione's POV~*~

Hermione was sitting in the library, nothing new there, but she had OWLs coming up and she only had 3 weeks until the tests start. Harry and Ron had been telling her to have some fun but she wasn't going to stop studying until the tests were over and then she would probably go over test answers with anyone that would talk to her. Hermione was going crazy she hadn't been outside other than for Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology, she was getting really bored of the Library but the common room was too noisy.

"So, this is where you spend all your time, I should of guessed." Hermione knew who the voice belonged to, but there was something different about it, he sounded nice. There was no cold tone to his voice.

"Yes, I'm surprised more people aren't up here, OWLs are in less than a month." Hermione looked up from the book she was reading to find Draco sitting on the edge of her desk.

"Well I was wondering if I could ask you for a favour?" Draco's voice still sounded so nice and innocent, like he hadn't called her a 'Mudblood' every time he could, and that he hadn't done everything to make her life a living hell. "I need to get more than 10 OWLs, I know I'm getting 2 in Potions, I'll get one in the rest of my classes but I need help in Transfiguration. Will you please help me?"

"Sure." Hermione laughed at the shocked look on Draco's face, "Only under the circumstances that you are nice to me, Harry, and all the Weasly's. You say one thing to them or to me, or I hear about you saying something and the deals off." Hermione was surprising even herself that she had said yes, but then again she had a big crush on Draco, and with all the stress of studying she needed something to take her mind of her studying and help someone else no matter who.

"So, what are you working on right now?" He moved in behind her to read over her shoulder. But when Hermione turned to look at him his face was almost touching his and he wasn't looking at the book he was looking at her, there was something in his eyes, she could see it. She put an arm around the back of his neck and pulled his face down to hers. The kiss was gentle and slow, he didn't pull away he opened his moth under hers she let her tongue slip in. It was amazing, like everything around them had just slipped away, they were the only people left in the world. The kiss was amazing, Hermione didn't want to stop, but she just kissed Draco Malfoy. "Wha? Why? Wow!" was all Draco could say.

"I'm Sorry its just with all the studying and work and," but she was cut off by Draco's lips. Hermione got up slowly not breaking the kiss, and opened her mouth, she just wanted to get closer to him but they were as close as they could be with out stripping and have sex on the floor. "Wait, wait, we can't do this, your Draco Malfoy and I'm muggle-born Granger."

"So, what's the problem with that?" Draco didn't seem to care.

"Well if anything happens between us no one can know, especially Harry and Ron. I tell Ginny everything, but she wont tell anyone. Don't tell any of your friends from Slytherin either." Hermione was still in his arms looking up at his deep eyes pleading with them, not only to not tell people but to kiss her again. Draco bent down, he was at least 6 foot and she was only 5 foot 4, his lips were almost touching hers, "Of course," and he pulled her into another deep kiss. She stood in his arms just stood, and smiled at him unable to walk or breath.

"I uhh, yeah, should uhh, get back, sleep can't work anymore after that kiss." Her words were starting to come back to her. "I'll see you here after dinner tomorrow night bring the work you need help with." She kissed him on the cheek and grabbed a few books and left the Library with a big smile on her face.

~*~Back to the train~*~

"After the OWLs were over we didn't stop meeting, but during the summer we could only write to each other. But when we got back to school we got to be together," Hermione shot Ron 'The Look' "Not together like that you stupid prat." she rolled her eyes at him Harry knew only too well that if they weren't fighting they weren't talking, it got annoying so when he started going out with Ginny he didn't have to listen to them so much.

"Yeah, yeah, I know "Grow up Ron" You told me to do that earlier 'member?" Oh no they started again.

"So Harry," Ginny said looking up at Harry, she had her head on his lap, while he was playing with her hair, "now we know what they want to do, fight, what should we do, leave?"

"No there wont be anything open, lets just stay here." Harry was trying to make it sound like he wanted to stay, but he could tell by the look he got from Ginny that she knew that Harry wanted to leave but then Ron would be all over him asking them what they were doing.

She opened her moth to say something but Harry covered it with his own. She didn't pull back or move just opened her mouth under his for a deep kiss. Ginny broke away and moved so that she was sitting on Harry's lap facing him with her legs over his. She kissed hi lightly on the lips then started moving her tongue up to his and whispered, "Tonight are we going to that house or are we staying in a hotel?"

"The house, why?" Harry was trying not to moan, she was bighting at his earlobe.

"Because I want the bedroom right next to yours, and tonight I'm going to go to the bathroom and go back to the wrong room and spend the night with a certain black haired wizard that has to be very naughty, or he wont get any." With that said she got up and went to the door and said "Going to the Loo," and left.

Harry just sat there with a dazed look on his face. Ron didn't notice but Hermione did and said, "Harry didn't you say you had to go to the washroom but didn't have enough time." Hermione was good.

"What? Oh yeah be right back."

Harry got up and left only to fine Ginny waiting right outside the door with a smirk on her face. "What took you so long?"

'What took you so long that's all she can say, oh my god this girl is amazing. Thank god I have her.' was all Harry could think. "I don't know. So are we going to tonight?"

"Only if you want to." Ginny said making it obvious that she wanted it more than anything.

"What do I look like to you, gay?" I don't think any man could say no to that with you."

"I bet Ron would," Ginny said with a giggle. "But he doesn't count."

Harry slipped his arms around Ginny's waist wanting nothing more than to be with her, but that would have to wait until they got unrolled at the new school and moved into there new house. Harry couldn't help but smile thinking about the new house.

"What is it? Why do you have a big grin on your face?" Ginny asked stepping back from Harry with a puzzled look on her face.

"Oh. I was just thinking about the new house. We are going to have to break it in. I bet the Draco and Hermione and Neville and Susan will be breaking there rooms in." Harry said with an evil grin as Ginny stepped back into Harry's arms. "But we should go back, because if Ron comes he will be mad and he will make sure that our rooms are as far apart as possible." Harry said with a sad puppy dog face that made Ginny giggle, oh how he loved her laugh.

"Oh, alright, but I'm going only under protest," Ginny said with that drop dead smile.

***

'Finally' Harry thought, 'We are here now we can floo to the school from the Leaky Cauldron. Just a short taxi ride.' "O.K, we will need two cabs, Me and Hermione will be split up because we know muggle money and no one else does."

"So we should go find Draco, Neville and Susan. They can come with me in my cab and you three can go in one. We can put all the animals in your cab because there will be an extra seat." Hermione said taking off her school robes revealing a school girl outfit. She had a short plaid skirt with knee high socks on. And a white blouse with only two buttons done up, she had tied the bottom up to make it a belly top. Ginny had the same outfit on only her shirt was a green plaid and Hermione's was in a red.
"Sounds good to me." Ron said, "But can I sit in the front Harry I want to see all the buttons and stuff."

"Sure, whatever you want Ron." Harry said shaking his head it was weird how little Ron and Ginny knew about muggle's. Harry looked at Ginny and winked, this meant they could be in the back and Ron would be too busy to notice anything they were doing anyway.

So once everyone had met up and sorted out animals and luggage and taken off there school robes they found two taxis and everyone got in. Once they reached the Leaky Cauldron and paid the drivers and left big tips because of the animals and the extra work, the seven of them made there way into the Leaky Cauldron.

"Hi Tom, We need to use your fireplace if its ok with you." Harry said.

"Sure do you need floo powder?" Harry knew that if they didn't Tom would be able to make some money off them.

"We have enough for about five people." Ginny said pulling a bag of grey powder out of her trunk.

"It will be a two Galleons for the amount you need." Tom pulled a clay pot out from behind the bar for them.

"Here." Draco said pulling out two Galleons and giving them to Tom. "And no ones aloud to pay me back." Draco said before Harry could offer. Maybe Hermione is a good thing for him.

"Alright Neville can you go through with all your stuff? Ginny and Susan don't have animals so if you have anything you can't take through you should give it to them."

"Wait Harry don't we need muggle money?" Ginny said just before Neville stepped into the fire.

"Yeah we do. O.k Tom can we leave our stuff here and come back we can go up to Gringotts and change some Galleons to Canadian money?"

"Ye' sure can." Tom said with his toothless smile.

After Harry changed 500 Galleons into $5000.00 Canadian, Draco changed 300 Galleons into $3000.00 Canadian, Hermione had been sent some money from her parents that ended up being $1000.00 Canadian. Neville and Susan both got $2000.00 Canadian and Ron and Ginny only got $100.00 each. Harry new how poor their family was.

Harry didn't know how Canadian money worked so they got what they thought would be enough for food for a while. They didn't have to pay anything because the school had houses set up for students that didn't live in the area all with seven or 8 students living in them. But because of the numbers they had they wouldn't be sharing with anyone.

Once they were all back to the Leaky Cauldron everyone got ready to go through the fire. "O.k. Neville say 'Witch craft and wizardry of Canada, Headmasters office' its not hard."

Harry was the last to leave the Leaky Cauldron. The spinning was making him sick and because it was so far away it took what felt like 10 minutes to get there. But when Harry landed he saw a great office. The whole thing was done in a dark wood that was breath taking. But Harry didn't really care he wasn't planning on spending much time in this office if at all possible.

"Hi, you must be Harry?" The headmaster was very young, she looked to be in her mid-twenties. She had chestnut brown hair that was very straight, probably straightened with magic. This school didn't have a dress code so they didn't need school robes. "Today is Saturday so you wont be having classes. Your first class wont be until Monday morning. Here are your schedules." She handed all of them a schedule. "Here is a key to the house for all of you," she handed all of them a key that had their names magically engraved into them. "The address to the house is on your schedule Harry. The easiest way to get into the town is to drive. Have any of you got a drivers licence?"

"No, but I have drove a flying car once." Ron said who had not taken his eyes off the headmaster once since they arrived.

"Yes well what we have for students to use is nothing like a flying car. It's a muggle car. We have them so students can get to and from school quickly, because its not a short walk to the house."

"I can drive." Hermione said from the back of the room. "My mum taught me how over summer holls." Hermione was blushing slightly.

"So you can teach the others to drive later if you wish or you could be the only driver for the house but either way you will be driving today."

"Well I have some work to do. But your neighbours also go to the school so if you have any questions feel free to ask them. There is enough food for two or three days in the house while you guys get settled in. Hermione, here are the keys to the car. It looks small but its bewitched to hold up to 12 people. The house is also bewitched. On the first floor there is a kitchen, dinning room, living room, bathroom and a bedroom. The second, third, and forth floor all have two bedrooms and a bathroom. Then there is an attic bedroom. Any questions?"

Everyone looked clear on what was going on, so they all shook hands with their new headmaster and started out the office door. Once everyone was outside they saw a road that led down to a highway. There was a parking lot with only three cars in it. One side was for students that had one car that was going to be there car. And there was a staff side that had two cars parked.

"O.K we can go get Sirius and head down now." Harry said walking off towards the forest.

"Sirius?" Susan asked. "As in Sirius Black?" She sounded almost scared.

"Yeah, he's my godfather. And no he didn't kill a street of muggles. It was Wormtail, it's a long story so don't worry about it. He wont hurt anybody. He can have the bedroom in the attic or on the ground floor, it depends what room Ron wants."

"Well I wanted the second floor with you mate and Ginny could be in the farthest room from that." Ron said with anger in his voice.

"No ronnie-poo I will be on the second floor with Harry. All the couples will be sharing a floor. You being without a girlfriend, or boyfriend have to be on a floor by yourself. And there is nothing you can do about it."

"Lets go find Sirius, Oh speak of the devil here he is now." A big black dog walked out of the forest with a duffle bag hanging from his mouth. "Ready to go?"

The dog just nodded and started walking towards the car with the group. Hermione sat down in the front seat with Draco, and everyone else climbed in the back. Sirius changed into his human form. He shook hands with Neville, Susan, and Draco. Harry could tell that he was only doing this because of Hermione.
