*******************************************
Hermione and Professor McGonagall went down to Hogsmeade, the Professor telling her to be at the train station at quarter till 9, and not to be late. She went to the Flourish and Blotts that was in Hogsmeade and began glancing through the books. Picking out a few that she thought would be a nice read for the year. She came across a potions book that told you how to make any potion at all from the simplest ones like the one to turn your skin different colors, to the most complex like the ones that could make you better even if you were an inch away from death.
Hermione remembered Draco saying that Potions was his favorite subject, she also noticed that the book was on the sale rack, and was very cheap. She put it on the top of the books she was carrying and walked to the register. She left with her money bag much lighter than she would have wished to. She looked at the large clock above the train station, it was time to meet Professor McGonagall.
Hermione was told that she could either sit with the Professors or go and find another compartment to sit in. She chose to sit in an empty compartment, the one that she had met Harry and Ron in that first year at Hogwarts. She smiled as a tear ran down her cheek, knowing that after this year, they would have to part ways and go on with their lives outside of Hogwarts.
The train began moving and a nagging question came back to haunt Hermione, why had she bought Draco that book? Why had she even thought of him at all?
"Merlin, I'm starting to like him." She whispered, barely audible, afraid that if she would say it any louder someone might hear it.
She sighed and sat back in her seat, waiting for the moment when she could see her two best friends again. Yet she had no intention of telling Harry or Ron that she no longer despised their long time enemy, but she was actually beginning to like him!
********************************************
Ron shut his trunk and Harry sat on top of it so that he could lock it. They did the same for Harry's trunk and then sat on Ron's bed in exhaustion. It had been a long day.
"Well mate, I think I'm going to go take a shower, then I'm off to bed." Harry said, running a hand through his already ruffled hair.
"Before you do, can we talk Harry?" The red head asked, sitting up on his bed.
"Sure Ron, 'bout what?"
"Well, Hermione. You don't have any feelings for her that aren't just plain out platonic, right?"
"Not a one Ron, she's all yours."
"Then I'm going to ask her out this year, after all, one of the Weasly brother's has to get married sometime right? Why not be the first?" He grinned
"Well Ron, I wish you the best of luck, but I'd really like to get a shower sometime this century." He laughed as he walked toward the bathroom, passing Ginny as he went.
Ron saw Ginny with a huge grin on her face as he walked past the door to his room. He laughed as he remembered that Harry didn't have his shirt on when he walked to the bathroom.
He laid back on his bed taking out the picture of Hermione that he kept under his pillow, daydreaming about the next day when he would see her again on the train.
**********************************************
Hermione ended up falling asleep on the train ride, only to awake in the morning as the train pulled into the station in London. Brushing her hair and magically putting on make up she walked out onto the platform waiting for the rest of her fellow students at Hogwarts to come through the barrier.
Harry and Ron arrived with Ginny and Mrs. Weasly just as the train was about to leave. Mrs. Weasly hugged them all and ushered them onto the train. They found an empty compartment just as the train began to move. They chit-chatted about the upcoming year and their summers and such until all fell silent. Hermione still had not told them that she was Head Girl, and she found this as good a time as ever to do it.
"I'm Head Girl this year," She blurted out, Harry and Ron both looked at her in surprise.
"Oh Hermione, that's great!" Harry was the first to speak, though he was still shocked.
"Who's Head Boy?" Ron spoke up, after congratulating her.
"Malfoy," She replied, trying to make her voice sound as cold as possible, though her insides were tying in knots as she said his name.
"MALFOY!? THAT SLIMY GIT DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE TO BE A PREFECT, LET ALONE HEAD BOY!" Ron screamed, anger evident in his cheeks.
Hermione shook her head, sighing, she knew this was going to be a long and confusing year.
