It was finally Saturday. The Saturday she would go to The Manor, as she now
referred to it.
Her bags were packed, and she had decided to apparate to Kings' Cross at 10:00.
It was 9:55, so she left a little early. Even if she had graduated from Hogwarts, she was still Hermione.
Hermione rushed to the platform to board the train with some of her old school friends and some of her old enemies as well as some young women she had never seen before.
Those girls had probably gone to Beauxbatons or Durmstrang. Every girl there, though, had the same I-Can't-Believe-I-Got-Chosen-and-I'm-Still- Dumbstruck look on their faces.
Hermione simply had a confident look. As usual, she was confident. She always was. No change there.
Instead of the usual Hogwarts Express there was a different train that was painted green with silver here and there.
Hermione walked onboard and saw each compartment had the name of one girl who was going. She walked not far back and found hers, and to her great disappointment discovered Padma Patil's compartment was in front of hers, and Parvati Patil's compartment was behind hers. The ride was going to be horrible.
Harry Potter had somehow acquired two more Invisibility Cloaks and had given one to Ron Weasley and the other to Hermione.
She slipped under hers and ran towards the back of the 'Millionaire Express' which was what the train was called according to a sign on the platform.
Hermione reached the lavatory when the Express finally started moving. They were on their way to either the heartbreak of their lives or a dream come true!
~*~
When Hermione thought it was safe she silently slipped down the hall toward her compartment.
She still had on her cloak, and she reached her seat unheard.
She could hear Parvati and Padma, though. They were gossiping about who the boy was.
Parvati boldly stated she hoped it was Harry Potter, but Padma convinced her it wasn't because he was dating Cho and would never double cross her. Cho could be vicious if she wanted to.
Unfortunately for Hermione, Padma had noticed whose compartment was next to hers.
Parvati chose this moment to slam open the compartment door and yell out to Hermione, "Hello! Aren't you SO happy we're her, too, Hermione?" She was yelling this at the top of her lungs.
The Invisibility Cloak Hermione had foolishly taken off and put away when she sat down on her seat, and then fallen into a deep sleep. Since she was sleeping, this loud racket literally caused her to jump five feet in the air and start screaming bloody murder.
"WHAT THE HECK D'YA THINK YOU'RE DOING?! WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF SOMEONE SCREAMED IN YOUR EAR WHEN YOU WERE SLEEPING?!"
Hermione, who had learned French by the time she was four, started cussing them out in that foreign language.
They couldn't understand a word she was saying, so they just walked quietly back to where they had been talking about the latest article in Witch Weekly.
Everyone had heard this and stared straight ahead. It was like a very strict camp counselor catching them play a horrible prank on someone.
Every muscle was tensed. When finally everything seemed to have stopped, everyone visibly relaxed.
The rest of the ride was uneventful except that a plump witch who seemed to be on every train walked by and some hideous looking girl placed a beetle in her hair causing her to spill a whole trolley full of food on a former Hufflepuff witch. Being the Hufflepuff she was, the girl calmly used a cleaning spell and everything went back to normal.

At about 5:00 the Millionaire Express arrived in Hogsmead where the carriages where waiting.
Hermione was left with one to herself due to the outburst earlier on the train.
The horses trotted down the lane toward the M. Manor. When they pulled up to a large iron gate everyone saw two intricately designed M's on the front. Slowly but steadily they opened, while all the girls held their breath.
They breathed again when the horses moved forward again, this time more cautiously.
The young witches stepped out of the white carriages and walked quickly up to a young looking man standing by the doors.
Every girl who went to Hogwarts recognized him. Every girl not in Slytherin loathed him.
"Hello," he drawled.
Ok, next chapter dedicated to anyone who can guess who the young looking man is. It should be obvious. Anyway, here's some answers to reviews and some reviewers! I HAVE 8 REVIEWS! I feel all warm and fuzzy.
Avri: Sorry, I can't e-mail you cuz of safety reasons. My parents would kill me. And if they kill me, that means no more Mr. Millionaire for you people! HA!
Ann McDermott: You should watch the show. I kinda like it. It's pretty good, but I just thought it'd be fun to see what would happen if I put HP people in their place. it should follow the same basic things as the show. There was a ball at the beginning, so everyone has that to look forward to!
LP Draconis: Thank you so much for the kind review! Ya really like it? Yes, I do like the idea of Snape as butler. Give him a foul look too. or a really goofy smile! I love torturing Snape. I am pleased you think I'm a good writer. Sadly some people don't think so :::glares at someone. You know who you are:::
Special thanks to: Avri, Ann McDermott, LP Draconis, crazy4wood, Sirius's Crazy Chick, draco's gurl, kim, and Larz! YAY! Now remember, answer my question CORRECTLY, and I might e-mail you the next chapter about three days or something before it comes out. I dunno. Something like that. I might chance my life. I just want more reviews! R&R! See ya!
Disclaimer: Nope, I own nothing. DON'T SUE ME, PLEASE! I STILL HAVE A LONG LIFE TO LIVE! I still have to live at LEAST five thousand years, and hopefully longer if some evil villain doesn't come and kill me.
