AN: I know that spelling and grammar are extremely bad also everyone sounds American. I have no beta! This story is now under construction.
Platform 9 3/4 quarters
Walking throw the dividing barrier, Hermione automatically
looked for Harry and Ron. Spotting the
famous Weasley red hair Hermione smiles.
Make sure her trunk was put in the Head Girl department;
Hermione didn't
see Crabbe and Goyle walking steadily towards her.
"Well, well, well," snickers Crabbe as he approaches. "If it isn't the mudblood." Closing in on her they block her path ."You sure look good for dirt."
"Did you hear that Ron," asks Harry who suddenly was standing to Hermione's right.
"Yeah," answers Ron who was standing to Hermione's left. "What do you want to do about it?" Crackling his knuckles Ron starts to close in on Crabbe as Harry just smirks at Goyle.
Watching her two guard dogs getting ready to pounce, Hermione shakes her head. "Gentlemen," getting their attention. "You are aware that there are going to be teachers on the train with us." Waiting for this to sink in. "Yes? And what did Dumbledore say again about fighting on the train," pausing to smirk at them.
"That any student caught would be expelled," states Professor Lupin as he and Sirius Black walk towards the group. "There isn't a problem here, is there?" As Crabbe and Goyle slink away, "Hermione I hear that Draco Malfoy is Head Boy, so sorry my dear."
Smiling at Professor Lupin, "Sorry for whom?" The gentlemen look at each other confused. Ginny comes running up screaming, "Mione," grabbing her hand. "You have got to see this."
"Excuse me boys, Professor," laughs Hermione as she lets Ginny lead her away.
Professor Lupin watches the girls rush away "Ok, what's with Hermione?"
"I don't know," frustratly, sighs Harry. "First she was in the descendants line in Gringotts. Which she still will not explain."
"Yeah," growls Ron. "Now she's laughing about having to deal with Malfoy. Maybe she's been studying to hard?" Everyone lightly laughs at Ron's suggestion. (Everyone knows Ron's aversion to studying) "We best keep an eye on her."
The Express
Sitting down. "Anyone seen Hermione since the platform?" As everyone shook their heads no, "I have looked just about everywhere for her, you don't thinkā¦"
"Hi guys," greets Hermione as she walks into the compartment.
"Ah, bloody hell, Mione," groans Ron. "You might want to change into your robes?"
Looking down at her blue jeans and lime green blouse. "Why? We're not at Hogwarts yet?" Frowning, "Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing Ronald Weasley?" Placing her hands on her hips and glaring at him.
Sirius busts out laughing, "No Mione, its just Ron and a few others are not use to muggle clothing." Then under his breath, "especially snug blue jeans."
Throwing her hands up in the air, "Fine, I will leave you gents alone for a bit," glancing down at her watch. "Besides I have to talk to Malfoy." Groaning she turns and walks towards the Head Boy and Girl compartment shouting back, "But I will be seeing you later."
Head Boy and Girl Compartment
Opening up the door, Hermione watches Draco's reaction to her clothing 'so nothing muggle is good huh?' Snickering she snaps her fingers to get his attention off her legs "Up here Draco."
"Bloody hell," whispers Draco. "What is that?" Pointing to her jeans.
Flopping down on a chair, "Blue Jeans, a muggle invention. You like?" Watching him shake his head and almost drool, "So did you get your parents to sign?"
Pulling out the papers, "Yeah, but I've read this thing and it says that I have to visit every place of ownership. That's going to be bloody close to impossible."
"Draco," laughing at him. "Draco. This is me, you're talking to. Nothing is impossible; we can use the Hogsmead trips to visit your places. Also, we have a game to get going to boot." Looking at him, "So come on what's your dare?"
Pausing Draco strokes his chin. "I dare you to wear that under your robe," he watches her open her mouth and tap her hand against it. "With your robes not buttoned up."
"So you want me to just throw on my robe and not button it up today?"
"Yeah."
"Draco, that's not a dare. That's just plain boring. Come on boy think!"
"Ok, lets see we can wear our house colors right?"
"Yeah, so."
"So I will wear my house color. You have to change your robe for black to red for the rest of the year."
"Fine with me, just have to change my top."
"Why do you need to change your top?"
"Lime green and red, they don't mix. I was thinking my black top."
"Fine."
Shaking her head, Hermione leaves the compartment. Rolling her eyes, this is too easy! Spotting Ginny milling around. "Hey Ginny. "What's up girl?"
"Oh, nothing much," snickers Ginny. "The guys," Using her hands to make quotation marks for 'guys'. "Think you're in some kind of trouble." Ginny rolls her eyes as she shakes her head. "Too bad they don't know that you're the trouble."
Looking down the little walkway, "Ginny, I've got to get my black top and change my robes red for the year. " Pointing behind her, "his first Dare." Watching Ginny tap her mouth with her hand. "I know boring. Hopefully he'll pick up the game as it goes."
Until Later
