###########################################################

Hermione looked at herself in the mirror, 'Why me? Why is it always me? Why? Why? Why? WHY?' Hermione her mirror broke into a million shards, they fell around her, resembling everything she felt, shattered.

****Flashback****

Hermione was sitting at the three broomsticks, she was feeling great, she had just left school, she had inquired for the position for Transfiguration as Prof. Mcgon had announced her retirement along with Snape at the end of the year, they were both the longest serving Prof. There, well, maybe not as long as Dumbledore.and so looked great, she had the right curves and had the right figure, she was ecstatic, men catcalled to her, she couldn't help but blush, her best friends Ron and Harry, who were sitting with her, smiled at each other whenever she blushed.

"I'm going for a breather k guys?" They nodded.

Hermione walked out, she was feeling great, she couldn't help but smile, she was walking down a deserted street when suddenly, two pairs of hands roughly grabbed, not caring where they grabbed.

"What the-?" But Hermione was struck with a bit of wood; she fell unconscious.

Hermione felt someone shaking her as if trying to wake her up, she felt sore, she felt her clothes, well, where her clothes were, she realised that her clothes were off, she felt sore and felt something wet trickling down her legs.

"Hermione?" Hermione's eyes sprung open, it sounded like a guys voice, Draco?

"Draco?" Hermione said, trying to cover herself, Draco flicked his wand and she had clothes on her, she think she thanked him she thought, she didn't know, she fell unconscious.

****End of Flashback****

Hermione felt hot tears forming in her eyes, she was so vulnerable, she felt sick with herself, she allowed it to happen, she let her guard down, after all those years, she left her guard down one day, and look where it left her, she vomited all over the floor.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hermione woke up, she felt something hovering above her, she jumped out of bed and was about to utter the first curse that came to her mind, when she realised that a owl was flying over head, and gave her the strangest look. She grabbed the owl's letter and ripped it open.

'Dear Ms. Granger,

We are pleased to inform that your enquiry to replace Prof. Mcgon for Transfiguration has not gone amiss and that you have gotten the position you applied for, a training test will be held at Hogwarts on the 5 August, where the new potions master will also accompany us to train you to perform well and know what to do in class and what subjects you will have to teach them to learn.

Sincerely yours, Dumbledore, Head of BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BULL SHIT, CRAP!! (A/N: Oh, I don't know his info, incase you haven't realised.)'

Hermione felt a bit lighter, at least she would go back to Hogwarts; she felt so safe in their walls, she crumpled up the note, she would be leaving this horrid memory of a house in 3 days.

Hermione cleaned everything up, she let Harry use her house while she gone. "Thanks Hermione, it's a lot closer to my work then mine." Hermione nodded, she hadn't smiled ever since that day happened. Harry understood, he hugged her; she broke down and cried.

"I feel so worthless, I feel like dirt!" Harry's head snapped up so quick Hermione could've sworn that it clicked.

"Don't ever, EVER say that! You are worth more then everything in the world, don't ever say you're worth less." Hermione nodded and hugged him tighter, tears streaming down her face.

Hermione was dropped off by Harry at Kings Cross, she gave him a peck on the cheek and left, Harry watched her disappear, and drove away.

Hermione was on the Hogwarts express along with some of the other teachers, there was the new DADA teacher, Mrs. Fittlebird (A/N: Hey, it's a good name!), and some others like Flitwick and Sprout, she entered the train and got a compartment at the front and sat down and read a book.

The whole way there, Hermione saw, spoke or even noticed anyone, the trolley lady came up and knocked on the door, Hermione looked up, she sighed, she was feeling a bit peckish..

Hermione returned from the trolley with 5 cauldron cakes, a bottle of butterbeer, a packet of chocolate frogs and a packet of every flavoured beans, a bit peckish, right..

The train stopped, it was dark and Hermione felt like shit, she still had a bottle of water and started to drink it, she felt a bit better when she thought that she'll see Hagrid now, she always liked him, (A/N: NOT IN THAT WAY!!!!)

Hermione entered the Great Hall, she loved it, but, her mouth seemed to have stopped working and couldn't smile.

Prof. Dumbledore was at the staff table, waiting for Hermione, she nodded to him, and he returned the nod.

"Ms. Granger, how nice of you to join us, I was hoping that you would come."

"Thank you Prof. Dumbledore." Hermione said, trying to sound cheerful, but couldn't muster the strength, Prof. Dumbledore understand.

"Well, after dinner Prof. Sprout shall guide you to your chambers, I am sure you will find it to your liking." Hermione tried to force herself to smile, but only managed a sigh.

Hermione sat down, she felt safe at Hogwarts; nobody would dare hurt her when Dumbledore was here..

"Ahem, now, as you all know, our new Transfiguration teacher Ms. Granger (He indicated Hermione), our new DADA teacher Mrs. Fittlebird (He indicated and she stood up nervously and bowed, Hermione saw Prof. Sprout raise her eyes.), and, our new potions master, Mr. Malfoy." Hermione's headshot up, she locked eyes with Draco, he had silver hair, icy blue eyes, a built body and a nice body, and she quickly turned away. Draco looked at her curiously.

"Well, now that we have introduced our newest members, Prof. Sprout, may you please led Ms. Granger to her headquarters? Prof. Mcgon, could you please escort Prof. Fittlebird to her headquarters? (Hermione's head snapped up again, causing it to click, 'Prof. Mcgon?') And Prof. Flitwick, may you lead Prof. Malfoy to his headquarters?" The three Prof. Nodded and led the new Prof. To their headquarters.

Hermione was led to her room, she stepped in; she gasped.

The room was full of books from top to bottom, it had a balcony, it had a bathroom with contained of very elegant bath ware and she packed her make- up in the medicine cabinet.

She was feeling restless, why wouldn't she expect Draco to take Snape's job? Why would he though? He had all the money to last him 5 generations, why be a teacher? She was almost asleep when she heard a knock on the door. Hermione got up, she felt weird; she didn't feel, well, alive! She reached out to the handle and swung it open, she stared into those magnificent blue eyes, se waited for him to wake, none came, she started to shut to door, he grabbed her hand, she felt a sudden rush of calmness over her body, he spoke.

"Can we talk?"

"Sure Draco, come in."
