Disclaimer: Again, the only thing I own is the poem! I do not own any of
the characters!
A/N: I think I'm just going to keep switching back and forth between Hermione and Draco POV. It's fun, and it gives different aspects on the same event, also, I'll try to include one poem in each chapter, so that their feelings seem more...real. And I am doing my best not to make this like other HG/DM fics I've read! If it does end up like others, will someone please tell me? Anyway, enjoy this chapter! I know I have fun writing this, and please, review! And thank you to everyone who has reviewed so far! I really love to get them, especially if they help me!

Chapter Three: The Train Ride
When I woke up, I had almost forgotten that it was September 1, my first day back at Hogwarts. Oh, how I had missed that castle over the summer. I didn't miss just the castle though. It took all the self-restraint I owned to not send Draco an owl. It would have been just a nice one, but without giving anything away. I remembered the poem I had written last night, and how I was sorely tempted to send it to him.
Ours is a Romeo and Juliet story,
Except for one thing
Do you love me as I love you?
Do you want to wrap your arms around me?
Do you wish that instead of insults,
We whispered sweet endearments?
Do you feel a need for me
In every breath you take, and every move you make?
Do you need me like I need you?
Needless to say, if I had chosen to send this to him, he wouldn't have known who sent it, and he definitely wouldn't have suspected me, "Mudblood Granger" one-third of the Golden Trio. God, how I hated that nickname for us. It's not like we actually followed the rules. Ron, Harry, and I probably broke them more than we followed them. Anyway, that's not the point is it? The point is, Malfoy would never think that I would send him a love poem.
After remembering the poem, I decided it was time to get out of bed, so I did. I put on my favorite emerald green shirt, and a pair of comfortable blue jeans, since I knew it was a long ride between King's Cross and Hogwarts. I also knew I looked best in my emerald green shirt.
Anyway, after getting dressed, I headed down to breakfast, where Mom had cooked bacon and eggs. It smelled good, but at the sight of it (I don't know why bacon and eggs reminded me of this) I remembered that I was Head Girl that year, my last one at Hogwarts, and I needed to be at the train station early.
"Mom, I have to be at King's Cross early, so do you think I can skip breakfast and you can just take me now?" I wasn't sure that this was going to work, but I figured I should at least try. "Honey, are you sure you don't want even a bite?" "I'm sure," I told her. I really needed to get there, and soon. My mom must have noticed my restlessness, because she consented by saying "Ok, then get your school things, and I'll take you right now." I gave Mom and Dad both a kiss, and ran upstairs to get my trunk.
~*~Half an hour later~*~
I was at King's cross station (finally) and pretending to listen to McGonagall (A/N did I spell that right?) while really I was thinking about Dra- Malfoy. Finally she was done, and I could go into the compartment reserved for Head Boy and Girl. I was looking forward to seeing Harry and Ron, but for now, I needed some time alone, as I didn't get much of that at home.
So I leaned back into the seat and closed my eyes (doing this helps me to relax and to think better). I hadn't been in this position for five minutes, when I heard a voice I recognized. "So, Granger, looks like you are Head Girl," he said. My heart was beating, but I did my best to remain calm and cool. "It sure does," I said as I opened my eyes. "Don't tell me they made a slimy git like you Head Boy."
I slowly sat up, so I wouldn't get too relaxed and say something I might later regret. I wasn't completely sure how Malfoy felt about me, but I didn't want to let him know my feelings. As I studied his face, I noticed a flicker of pain go through his eyes, and hoped it wasn't my fault.
"Now, if you'll excuse me Draco," I started, and then gasped as I realized what I had called him. Never had we been on first name terms, so I'm sure that hearing that shocked him even more than it shocked me. The stupid thing is, after thinking of him as Draco all summer (and many years before that) I just knew it would slip out sometime, and it just had to be now.
"Why would you call me Draco? Do you like me too or something?" I wondered what he meant about too-did he like me? I figured that couldn't be it, and he was just talking about another girl who liked him. I decided I would find out for sure though. "What do you mean too?" He took a moment before answering "I was just talking about this other girl that likes me...she's in Ravenclaw or something...can't keep her eyes off me for more than two seconds." I was crushed at this answer, but knew I had to hide it, so I just closed my eyes, and slept the rest of the ride.
