SPOILERS! Book 5.

The Sweetest Sin

 Hermione's alarm went off at 9 so she would have at least an hour and a half to get ready and half an hour to go on the train to leave for 11. She jumped out of bed keeping the alarm going which was placed on the radio and it was playing Mariah Carey, Fantasy, she danced into the bathroom and sang to the song in the shower hitting all the high notes and not missing a beat, as the song ended she got out of the shower and popped her CD into her player and danced along to Always Be My Baby as she got dressed and did her hair and make-up.

 She turned off her player and went downstairs for breakfast still humming some of the songs, he mother made eggs bacon and sausages and they sat at the table and talked about the summer and about this school year, when it was time to leave for the station Hermione grabbed Crookshanks, and walked out the door.

 "I'll write and I'll be back for Christmas I promise," Hermione said hugging her mom as the train whistle blew, "I love you," her mother said, "I love you too," Hermione said as her mother pecked her on the cheek and sent her to the train.

 As if on cue Hermione made her way to the ever familiar compartment that she had been staying in with Ron and Harry for the past 6 years, but then she remembered Harry wasn't going to be on this train ride, he was already there, the train started moving as she walked down the hall, she slid open the door to the compartment and smiled, Ron and Ginny, along with Neville were already there playing a game of exploding snap.

 "Hermione, they are killing me, please be on my team," Ginny said getting up and hugging her, she made a pouting face and Hermione giggled and nodded, she gave hugs to Ron and Neville, and wondered why they weren't saying anything to her, Ron finally broke the silence.

 "Mione? Erm, what is that?" He asked pointing just below her lip, Hermione's eyes were open wide, "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry I forgot that was there, it's um, a piercing Ron," Hermione said moving closer and opening her mouth to show that it went straight through, Ron turned a tinge of green, "Did it hurt?" Neville asked poking the little ball stud, Hermione laughed, "No, Neville it didn't," She said and yelped as the cards exploded in her hands as she made a wrong move.

 Draco sat looking out the compartment window and sighed, his last year, the only thing that ever got him out of the house and now this was the last time, and worse, he would never get surprise packages from his mother filled with candy and little note telling him she loved him, he had kept every one of those notes in a little chest with a lock with an unlock able curse so that only he could open it, in the chest was also his journal and a few interesting muggle things that if his father found out he had, he would be skinned alive.

 "Drakey!" Draco cringed as Pansy flew herself on top of him, he threw her to the floor, "Don't touch me you fucking slut," he said and pointed his wand at her face, she looked up at him in horror, "Why Drakey? What's wrong?" she asked backing up against the wall, "I saw you, with my father, you're a whore, you always have been, but I never thought you could get any dirtier until that night," Draco said, to his surprise she smirked, and stood up and dusted off her chest, "Well, I must say, your father is a good lay, better then you I think, but, you know, if you ever wanted to…relieve some tension? I'm here," she said, winked, and then walked out.  He plopped back down on the cushion and put his head in his hands. That's just gross.

 The train came to a slow screeching halt at Hogsmeade Station, everyone except the first years, which went to the boats, went up the walkways to the invisible (to some) horse carried carriages. Hermione and co. got into the less dirty ones and were off up towards their beloved castle.

 Hermione was looking up and trailed her eyes down to the door and there stood Harry with Ms. McGonagall, "HARRY!" Hermione screamed and jumped out of the still moving carriage and ran to him, he scooped her up in his arms and they hugged for a good few seconds, he put her down and looked at her, then frowned, "Mione, what is that?" he asked poking the ball then smirking, she smacked his hand away laughing just as Ron and Ginny came running up with Neville waddling not far behind. They stood there talking and laughing when finally all the carriages came up to the door and Ms. McGonagall welcomed them all back and opened the doors to the Great Hall and the students took their seats and got ready for the first years to come in and be sorted.

 "This is the last sorting ceremony for us," Hermione said as the doors opened, "Not unless we come back and be professors," Neville said as he noticed a small pudgy boy looking just as nervous as he was on his first day. Hermione looked at Neville surprised that he was considering becoming a professor, "What subjects are you interested in teaching Neville?" Hermione asked as she waved at a little girl who had just gotten sorted into Gryffindor.

 "Herbology," Neville said smiling as the nervous boy sat next to the little girl at their table, Hermione nodded, Herbology was always one of Neville's strong points in school and she figured he would do just fine without all that much trouble. The sorting finished and Dumbledore stood up and the Hall quieted down to listen to what he had to say this year.

 "Welcome! Another year, and hopefully a good one too, first years, welcome to you also, the forbidden forest is as it is called, forbidden, and I must remind all students for Mr. Filch, no magic in the halls please," he said with a twinkle in his eye looking around the hall, "And finally, your new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher this year is, Professor Lupin," there was a sound like a storm from the Gryffindor table as this was announced, he entered through the teachers lounge door and waved and winked at Harry, Hermione, and Ron.

 Hermione noted that he cleaned up a lot but looked a little more aged from the last time she saw him at a small service for Sirius, it was definitely one of the saddest days of her life. She glanced around the Hall as the food appeared; Ravenclaw got a few new students, a pair of twins and a bunch of giggly girls and a boy right in the middle of them. Hufflepuff got mostly boys and a few girls that were sitting together and whispering to each other. Slytherin on the other hand only got a handful, three boys and two girls, and no one at the table was talking except for Pansy about herself.

 What Hermione saw nest made her drop her fork on her plate with a clang, she quickly picked it up and cleared her throat, Malfoy had a tongue ring, she saw it out of the corner of his mouth when he was playing with it while sitting there, he looked at her and she looked down, angry at herself for keeping her eyes on him for to long, her cheeks burned as she could see him looking at her still out of the corner of her eyes. She picked up her napkin, wiped her mouth and left the Hall.

 Draco's eyes followed Granger's retreating back, he was still transfixed on the door until someone tapped him on the shoulder, he looked up and saw Ms. McGonagall, "Mr. Malfoy, you will find Ms. Granger and meet me on the 4th floor near the Headmasters office, quickly," she said then walked back to the table, he didn't know what was going on but he excused himself from the table and went off to find Granger.

 She wasn't that far, she was actually just sitting on the staircase outside of the Hall, "Erm, Granger? Ms. McGonagall wants us to meet her outside of the Headmasters office," he said while downright staring at her leb piercing and thinking how awfully kinky it would be to lick it, he shook his head and walked with her up the stairs to the 4th floor.

 He almost bumped into her as she stopped in front of Ms. McGonagall; he stood next to her and willed himself not to look at her leb again. "As you both know, you are the Head Boy & Girl, and if you didn't, well now you do, this year you two will be staying in the same quarters near the Headmaster's office for safety precautions, as Head's, you two are one of the important targets for the rising of…you-know-who," she coughed as she said that name and turned pink, obviously embarrassed that she didn't have the courage to say his real name, Draco smirked, then frowned when he remembered what she had just said, him and Granger had to share sleeping quarters, as in common room!

 He turned around and noticed the two had already started walking down the hall, he jogged a little to get up to them then fell instep with Granger, who was looking around the walls, he too looked up and saw pictures of families and old Heads and Professors, along with some Headmasters and mistresses. He stopped at the same time as Granger to look at an extremely familiar picture, he saw himself as a toddler, and sitting on his mother's lap, then right next to her was a brown haired, nice looking lady with a little girl resembling her on her lap.

 He slowly realized, it was his mother, her mother, him and her, he looked at her, as she looked at him, McGonagall came up behind them and smiled, "I see you are starting to find your past," she said then kept on walking down the hall towards a wall size picture of a beautiful Faye (fairy, for those of you who don't know) sitting on a branch, McGonagall turned to them, "pick a password," Draco and Hermione looked at each other, and as if reading their minds they both blurted out "Mysterious Past", the Faye nodded and opened up, "This is where I leave you, your schedules are posted on the bathroom door, Ms. Granger your room on the left, Mr. Malfoy, to the right, have a nice night and please try to get along."

 Hermione turned around and ran out the door back to the picture and brought it back into the common room, they both sat down on the couch and looked at it, "Weird," Draco said looking at his mother and hers laughing and holding hands and the two toddlers clapping and giggling, "I'm going to write to my mother and ask her about this," Hermione said reaching down to her bag and grabbing some parchment and a quill and started writing, Draco whistled and his Eagle came through the window, "Use my eagle, he's fast," Draco said, Hermione nodded and attached the letter to the eagle's leg, she told him where to go and he flew back out through the window.

 Draco sat back against the couch and looked at the ceiling as Hermione still examined the picture, "What do you think this means?" Hermione asked looking at her toddler self, Draco snorted, "Maybe our mother's knew each other and you aren't actually a mudblood," Draco said taking the picture from her and looking at Hermione's mother, he knew for some reason he has seen that face before, but he didn't know where, he almost got up to contact his mother, then remembered she was gone, he wiped the emotion out of his face as fast as it had come before Hermione noticed anything.

 It was about 10:00 pm and the eagle still had not arrived, Hermione sighed and got up, "I'm going to bed, if your eagle comes back, wake me," Hermione said opening her door, Draco nodded and decided to take a look at his room and unpack some stuff, but first he put a password charm on his door, for extra privacy, and he looked back at Hermione's door to see it was glowing so he knew she did that same on the inside as he was doing on the outside.
