"Bye mom! Bye dad!" Hermione got into her brand new silver bmw convertible. Her parents had let her drive to the train station by herself this year, since she was 17. She drove along the highway, singing along to the radio. She had a really good voice. She couldn't wait to get to the station, and see Harry and Ron again, see what they though of her new look.

Finally she was there. As she walked through the station, whistles followed her. She walked through the barrier, and walked into a mob of students. Everyone was being jostled, and jolted around, it was so crowded. She couldn't see Harry or Ron anywhere, so she decided to go find a compartment on the train. After searching for a while, she finally managed to find a compartment to herself. But before she could even get into her book, she heard the door open. She looked up, to find herself face to face with Draco Malfoy, the Slytherin Sex God himself.

'Oh brother.' she thought to herself. Malfoy, however, wasn't looking particularly unpleasant. In fact, one could almost say he was looking devilishly charming.

"Hello Pretty Lady!" he said with a devilish smirk. Hermione's jaw dropped open.

"You must be new here. Perhaps you'd like a little guided tour? Me being your guide of course. I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy. Resident Slytherin Sex God, at your service."

'Good lord, he actually introduces himself as that.' thought Hermione.

"Hello. Malfoy." Hermione spat out the words. Now it was Draco's turn to look shocked. He stood there sputtering for a minute.

"G-g-granger?"

"Like what you see, do ya? Not the ugly little mudblood anymore, eh?"

"Maybe I do..." he gave a trademark smirk, and slid out of the compartment, like the snake that he was.

'Whooey, what was that all about?' thought Hermione.

"...so you're saying that was a foul at the world cup?"

" Yeah. Canada should have been awarded a penalty..." Hermione heard two very familiar voices drifting down the hall. She was about to go open the compartment door, when the door opened.

"Oh, we're sorry." said Harry "Mind if we sit here? Everywhere else seems to be full."

"Wait a second..." said Ron "Are you new here?"

"Uh, no actually..."

"Hermione???" Harry finally caught on.

"Hi guys. I've been looking all over for you."

"Bloody hell, you look amazing!" said Ron "The guys will be all over you."

"You should have seen Malfoy."

"Malfoy chatted you up?!" Ron's jaw dropped even lower than it had been before.

"Heh, correction- tried to chat me up. But he did think I was someone else."

"Anyway, 'Mina, what happened?"

"I'll tell you..."
