Chapter 4: True Colors
Hermione doesn't know how she got to King Cross, but she did. Standing there, looking at the happy people walking and running, it seemed as if the world had stopped just for her.
"Mindy, lets go."
"Oh ok." As she snapped back into reality.
Together, Clint and Hermione stepped into the secret platform and into the magical world. A small smile came across Hermione's face, the first time in a long time.
"Hermione!" It was Harry and Ron. Clint saw that Hermione's friends arrived slowly and quietly sneaked away to avoid confusion.
"It's such a shame you could come to Diagon Ally with us. We missed you!"
Hermione didn't say anything. But instead-
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Potty and Weasel and the Mudblood."
"Shut up Malfoy or we'll make you!" said Harry.
"Yea, and I don't want to hear you call us those names again," said Ron.
"You have something to say Granger?" Malfoy said, trying to provoke something.
Hermione just stood there, her face turned pale. "G-Go a-"
"Hermione are you ok?" asked Ron.
Ron and Harry directed Hermione onto the train and found an empty compartment and sat down. Draco, who was still outside, was left confused and slowly walked into the train.
*~*~*~*~* On the train, about an hour later, Harry and Ron where reminiscing about their summer while Hermione was looking out the window, day dreaming but seemed as if she was looking at them.
"So Hermione, what did you do this summer besides reading?"
"Huh? O um.not much just you know, roam around the house. Um I'm gonna go use the restroom ok?"
"Yea sure. So yea, the Quidditch was."
Hermione slowly walked out of the compartment. She was walking in the train corridor when all of sudden a compartment door sledded open. It was Clint. He grabbed Hermione into the empty compartment and quickly locked the door by magic.
"Clint, what are you doing?"
"I've waited long enough. I'm gonna-"
And with that, Clint threw Hermione on the compartment couch and showed his true colors. Hermione, confused and scared, had a flash of her father and panicked.
"No.please Clint no, what are you doing?"
Clint quickly jumped onto Hermione and started to push down her skirt. She started to cry. Suddenly, someone knocked at the door. Clint stood up. Hermione tried to fix her skirt.
"Who is it?"
"It's Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."
Clint cursed under his breath and opened the door.
"Yea?"
"O.I was looking for er.someone."
"Well if it's not me or Granger, then he's not here." Hermione flinched at the sound of her last name out of Clint's mouth. Clint stormed out. Hermione sat there with red eyes, avoiding eye contact with Draco. Draco looked at her and noticed her red eyes and knew that she had been crying, but why? And what was she doing in an empty compartment with Clint? A Slytherin?
