Hermione woke with a start, making her fall off the bed. The sun was shining brightly on her eyes. She lay on her
fluffy bed, very contented until.....
She remembered that today was the day she needed to get onto the train to get to Hogwarts! Looking at her alarm
clock, she realized that it was already 10:30! 'Oh no,' she thought to herself urgently. 'I've only a half hour to get
to King's Cross! Oh, how am I supposed to get there?' Luckily, Hermione had already packed her trunk yesterday. Pulling
the heavy trunk downstairs, she was almost out the door when she remembered her wand. She ran back upstairs, grabbed her
wand when and orange fluffy thing rubbed against her leg. Looking down, she realized that she had almost forgotten
Crookshanks. Grabbing him in the middle, she grabbed his basket, put him in and locked it, preventing him form jumping
out. Finally, Hermione got to the corner and waved down the triple-decker Knight Bus. Stan the conductor jumped out and
immediately reached for her trunk. "Goin' to King's Cross miss?" he said. She nodded meakly. "You don't gotta to be so
nervous, there's a couple o' kids back there tryin' to get to King's Cross too." He pointed to a plump boy sitting near
the back and a very pretty girl sitting near the middle. Excitedly, she was about to greet them when she remembered,
no one cared about her.
She situated herself in the front of the bus, nervously waiting for the bus to get to its appointed destination.
Finally, they reached to a screeching stop. Rushing inside with her trunk and Crookshanks' basket on the trolley, Hermione
glanced at the clock. It was 10:58. Then train would be leaving in two minutes. Locating the wall between the platforms 9
and 10, Hermione raced through the barrier. When she opened her eyes, the moving scarlet train appeared in front of her
eyes. Wait a minute. Moving?! Yes moving, but very slowly....gaining speed. The guy on the train was about to close the
door when she told him to stop. She levitated her trunk and the basket onto the train and jumped.
Her right foot touched the stair but slipped. Fortunately her left foot fully reached the step and kept her some-
what balanced. Gasping, she made it onto the train with nothing but a couple of scratches. She lay on the floor, trying
to catch her breath. Then, she got up and tried to find the compartment Harry and Ron were in. Maybe she would at least
allow herself to be civil with them, her two best friends. Finally, she found them in a compartment near the back.
Unfortunately, it wasn't just them in the compartment. They were on separate sides of the compartement, each with
a girl on top snogging them to death. When she entered, they simutanously looked up at her. Then, glancing at eachother,
they both shoved the girls, who turned out to be Cho Chang and Parvati Patil. "H-hey Hermione," said Ron nervously. We
were just wondering where you were. Her self control snapped, "No you weren't!" she shrieked, "I'll bet you were just
wondering where those two 'girls' would take you. You didn't care about where I was at all!" Hermione bent down to let
Crookshanks out who pounced on top of the chair and snarled at the four people in there. "C'mon," she whispered menacingly,
Crookshanks obeyed. SHe walked up and down the hall, until she found an empty one for herself and Crookshanks. She sat
down, with Crookshanks beside her. Absentmindly, she stroked the cat's fur. "Does anyone care about me Crookshanks?" she
asked the curious cat. "Does anyone care about my life? Do you care?" If only cats could talk....
Over the next month, Hermione fully immersed herself in her work, often doing a lot of extra credits. The only
time she wasn't working was when she was eating or sleeping, even then, she was thinking about work. Only sleeping was her
escape. Dreaming was her island of paradise. And very often, He was in it. The One.
Hermione also carefully avoided Harry and Ron and their snogging girlfriends. Actually, she avoided the whole
student body. The month went by without much incident, but the first remarkable event occured on the eve of October 8th,
in a stall in the girl's lavatory. Hermione was crying hysterically. "I can't take it anymore! I have nothing to live for.
That's the truth. That will always be the truth. Nobody cares! Nobody in this cruel world cares." Hermione took out a sharp
blade. She held up her left wrist, and slashed it. She screamed with pain. Although no one could hear her. Everyone was in
class. Everyone had their own lives to live. And it didn't include, Hermione Granger. In that stall, a miracle would happen.
A love was to be born. Hermione fainted, only to be found by none other than Him. Draco Malfoy, who had been drawn to
the racking cries of a female.

A/N: There's chapter 5!! Yay!Oh wow! O.O I can't believe it turned out to be that good. And it's a long chapter too.
oooooh. I wonder if I can write more chapters like this? I dunno...I'm gonna need some encouragement. Come on people,
review! Oh and school's coming up in 4 days! I can't believe it. But that means the only time I'll be able to update
is on the weekends! :( But that also means I'll Have more time to write better chapters...so is it irony or something?
I dunno, I'm so confused about that word. Thats all for now, till next time! REview!
