Disclaimer: As much as I'd love to, sadly I do not own Harry Potter. And unless Danielle has been keeping things from me, she doesn't either. Last time I checked J.K. Rowling does.
P.S.-R/r please!!! And a shout out to Danielle in my English class and all mai otha IHA gurlz!! Now on with the story! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Bye Mum, bye dad! I'll owl you when I arrive at Hogwarts!"
Hermione waved to her parents, as they disappeared back into the muggle world. She turned around and started to walk back to the Leaky Cauldron, when suddenly she heard a myriad of voices shout her name.
"Harry! Ron! Ginny! What are you all doing here? I thought you weren't arriving until tomorrow!"
Hermione rushed forward to envelope her three best friends into a hug.
"Mum and dad let us come early, so you wouldn't be alone. They'll be coming tomorrow," Ginny squealed excitedly.
Harry coughed.
"We just arrived a few minutes ago, through the Floo Powder Network."
It was at that moment that Hermione realized that her friends were covered from head to toe with soot.
*Aftermath of using floo powder*
"Ginny! Ginny! Is that you?" An annoyingly familiar voice called from behind them.
"Hello Collin! How was your summer?" Ginny asked politely.
Colin Creevey was a 5th year Gryffindor at Hogwarts, same as Ginny. Everyone in Hogwarts knew about Colin's crush on Ginny it seemed except Ginny herself.
"Smashing, Ginny, simply smashing. I'd love to tell you all about it. Why don't we go to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink?" Colin looked up at Ginny hopefully.
Hermione watched with silent laughter as Ginny's face turned as red as her hair.
"umm.sure Colin, I'd love to," Ginny mumbled. "Bye Hermione, bye Harry, bye Ron. I'll catch up later."
Hermione, Harry, and Ron watched as they disappeared into the Leaky Cauldron. Ron clenched his fists.
"What does that bloody git think he's doing with my little sister?"
Harry and Hermione grinned at each other. Ron was very protective of his little sister, especially when it came to boyfriends or even boys that he thought looked at her the wrong way.
"Oi Ron! Look at the new quidditch armor. It's just like the kind the Chudley Cannons wear." Harry exclaimed as an effort to distract Ron.
Fortunately his plan worked. Ron stopped ranting about Colin, and followed Harry into Quality Quidditch Supplies.
Hermione joined them, but was bored immediately.
*Quidditch could never hold my attention for very long* Hermione thought wryly to herself.
"Harry, Ron I'm going to Flourish and Blotts to get my books for school. Why don't you meet me there when you're finished?"
"Yea 'Mione, whatever," Ron mumbled absentmindedly.
"Sure Hermione, well meet you there," Harry answered before returning his attention back to the Quidditch items in front of him.
*Boys*
Hermione thought to herself and sighed as she walked down Diagon Alley. She stopped at the owelry to buy some food for Gwendolyn, and then continued on her way to Flourish and Blotts. Hermione opened the door of the bookshop and stepped inside. She immediately felt her muscles relax. For some reason that she was not sure of, Hermione always felt calmer when she was surrounded by books. She felt as if she was in her own little world, where no one could find her.
Hermione was jolted out of her reverie as she felt a pair of eyes boring into her back. She turned around and looked up and found herself staring into the face of one of the hottest guys that she had ever seen. He had gorgeous platinum blonde hair, and the most intriguing eyes she had ever seen. They were a deep, cold, stone, gray, but there was a flicker of something behind them.
*Wait a minute.I know those eyes.oh my gosh!!.It's Malfoy!!*
Hermione turned red with realization, but to her surprise he just smiled. It wasn't his trademark Malfoy smirk, but actually a genuine smile.
*He looks so cute when he smiles, he should do it more often.WAIT, what am I thinking?!*
At that moment Harry and Ron burst into Flourish and Blotts, very much out of breath.
"Is something.wrong.? 'Mione? You look flushed," asked Harry between gasps of breath.
Hermione felt her face heat up even more.
"It's nothing.really.nothing at all." Hermione said loudly, trying to convince herself more than anyone else.
"If you say so," said Ron. "Bloody hell! Look at the lines! We'd better get our books now, or we'll be here all night. Not that you would mind, Hermione"
He turned to her and grinned.
"Very funny Ron." She replied sarcastically.
Harry made an attempt to keep his two friends from fighting. "Come on, let's get our books. Then we can have dinner at the leaky cauldron-my treat."
Hermione followed Harry and Ron through the cases of books, anxiously aware of the stone gray eyes still watching her.

"Mother, I'm going to Diagon Alley to get my school things." Draco called to his mother just before apparating to Diagon Alley.
He had spent a lot of the previous year at Hogwarts researching apparation and how to do it. Draco could now apparate at will and do so without detection form the Ministry of Magic.
Draco appeared just in front of Quality Quidditch Supplies. Just as he was about to walk in, he caught a glimpse of red hair. Ron Weasley and Harry Potter were standing inside Quality Quidditch Supplies looking at the latest Quidditch armor. Draco groaned.
*Oh great. The Potty and the Weasel are here. And that means Granger can't be too far either. This sounds like fun* (A/N ummm, sarcasm if you don't notice.)
He turned and headed to Flourish and Blotts. He had decided that he could wait to pick up the Firebolt '03 that was on back order later.
*I'll pick up my books first. I'm not in the mood for a confrontation with those two gits right now*
After Draco found the last two school books he needed, Advanced Transfiguration and The Standard Book of Spells: Grade 6, he went to look for some books to read in his free time. So, he went to the Dark Arts section, which was his favorite. Draco wasn't obsessed with the Dark Arts like his father, he simply found it interesting. It was also his favorite section because it was above all the others and allowed him to see everyone else in the store without being seen himself.
*Marks of Dark Wizards Through the Ages.hmmm.this looks like an interesting read.*
Just as Draco had really begun to get into the book, he heard a bell chime, signaling someone had come into the store. When he looked up, he saw a pretty brunette walking into the bookstore. She has long chestnut brown hair with blond highlights and slight curls at the ends. She was of an average height with a body that could kill. (A/N: I know that sounded really corny and bad. I didn't write the description!! Julia did. Lol. I was having serious writer's block. I wonder who it could be.I can't put my finger on it.lol)
*Who is that? She's wearing a Hogwarts cloak, but I can't see her face. She looks vaguely familiar, but I'm not who she is. She looks good, I wonder who she is.*
As if reading his thoughts, the teenage girl looked up to Draco's balcony. Draco found himself staring into gorgeous honey brown eyes. (A/N: more corniness.) He was so caught up in her that he didn't notice the two boys that had just burst into the shop. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley had just entered Flourish and Blotts. Draco then realized that this young girl, or woman rather, was none other than Hermione Granger. Draco continued to watch Hermione intensely, taking no notice whatsoever of Harry or Ron.
*Granger? Wow. She has really sprouted this summer. She's really pretty."
*BLOODY HELL!!! Did I just think what I think I though?! I think I did. I think I'm losing my mind* *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* What do you think?!?!?!?! Was it good? Was it bad? Any suggestions? Comments? Tell us! Use that lovely purple button down there. Yea, that's it. The one in the left bottom corner. Use it. Write a review. Thanx. Ttyl.
