It had all started on the first day of Hermione's sixth year in Hogwarts.
She had just entered Platform 9 and ¾.
She glanced around looking for Harry and Ron, eager to see them.
The summer holidays had dragged on; she hadn't seen either of them since
they had broken up for the holidays.
She suddenly spotted them, Harry looking quite skinnier then when she had
last seen him (a probable result of his grieving over Sirius) and Ron
looking taller then ever.
Somehow Hermione's heart skipped a beat when she laid eyes on Ron. She
decided to ignore it and flew towards Ron and Harry, nearly knocking them
over as she pulled them into a group hug.

"Ow, Hermione gerroff! If you're going to hug us at least hug us one at a
time!" Ron complained, muffled by Harry's shoulder.
"Yeah, I can't breath!" wheezed Harry, having just had a mouthful of
Hermione's hair.
"Well, hello to you two too." said Hermione sharply.
"Oh yeah, um, hello" murmured Ron.
"Hi" said Harry calmly.
"What's up with you?" asked Hermione, looking at Ron pointedly.
Ron and Harry exchanged an odd look; actually it was more Harry grinning at
Ron while Ron blushed. "Nothing..." he replied.
Later as they were on the train Hermione said "I'm going to go get my robes
on"
"What! 'Mione we've only been on the train for an hour. We've got ages
left!" exclaimed Ron but Hermione had already left.
"Same old Hermione" Harry laughed.
Hermione went to the girls' toilets, changed and returned back to the
compartment. On her way she felt something slip into her pocket. She turned
around but all she could see was Draco Malfoy walking with Crabbe and Goyle
and laughing probably at the misfortunes of others.
It wasn't until the feast that, Hermione, after congratulating Lupin on
returning to Hogwarts as the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor,
slipped her hand in her pocket and retrieved a note. It said:

Granger,
Meet me by the statue of Merlin on the sixth floor tomorrow after last
lesson. Don't stand me up or you'll be sorry.
Malfoy
