Thank you so much for your reviews-- they really meant a lot. I'm really
sorry that I have to stop, but I'm really don't think that I'm going to
have time for this once school starts and I'm rather unmotivated at the
moment. I'll try working on it though.
Dedication-- This chapter is dedicated to Jodi because she has always encouraged me with this story and is the sweetest person ever. While reading this chapter, she said the funniest thing that I still think about when reading this.
Disclaimer-- JK Rowling is the great empress of all things Harry Potter. I own nothing short of the plot and all the orginal characters coming up when they go to Calorman.
~*~*~
Hermione woke up at 8 in the morning with the sun streaming in the small window and the train still moving along quickly. On the opposite set of seats, Draco still lay asleep, the sun highlighting his perfect features.
She left him there asleep and went to her trunk. Inside, all the spellbooks, her cauldron, her school robes and everything else magical had been transfigured to resemble muggle objects as not to arouse the suspicions of anyone at customs. Hermione packed her black leather carry-on with her wand (transfigured to look like a ballpoint pen), the magazines she had received for her birthday, a book and her wallet.
After closing and fastening the trunk tightly closed, Hermione went up to talk to the driver at the front of the train. There she found out that they had about an hour and a half before they reached Platform 9 3/4 and that Professor Dumbledore had sent them a breakfast, enchanted so it kept fresh and warm.
Hermione wheeled the cart back to their compartment and helped herself. Draco was still sleeping peacefully... for now. She pulled out her ballpoint pen wand from her bag and a devious smile lit up her face and she tried to decide what to do.
Finally she set her mind on a single idea, muttered a few quick incantations and sat back to watch the result. Draco's hair lengthened and turned black and a thin lightning bolt shaped scar appeared on his forehead.
The use of magic woke Draco up. He stirred, stretched and sat up.
"Morning, Granger," he said. "Have you been up long?"
"No, just a few minutes," Hermione said trying not to laugh.
"Very nice. If you'll excuse me, I'll be back in a moment," he said getting up and walking in the direction of the restroom.
Hermione waited in silence for a moment until she heard a girlish scream come from the bathroom, then she doubled over laughing.
Draco came storming back into the compartment, his face red and the tips of his hair still black. "That... was not funny!"
"Yes it was," Hermione managed to get out between giggles. "You... should have seen... your face."
Draco glared at her and then stormed off, leaving her laughing. A few minutes later she recovered and dug a book out of her bag to amuse herself.
An hour went by and Draco hadn't come back. It didn't bother Hermione and she went back to her book. He hadn't returned when they pulled into Platform 9 3/4, and Hermione began to worry.
"Draco!" She ran down the corridor, peeking into compartments as she went along. As she was about to go into another car, a figure jumped out in front of her, causing her to let out a shout.
"Draco Malfoy! You scared me half to death!" Hermione rambled on for a few more minutes and Draco smiled smugly, clearly enjoying it.
When she paused to take a breath, Draco leaned forward and kissed her soundly on the lips. Hermione, caught by surprise, let the kiss deepen for a moment before breaking away.
"Draco?" she asked in a whisper, wondering if it was really him.
"Hermione, I'm sorry," Draco said. "I didn't mean to..."
"It never happened," Hermione said. "We're at the platform, let's just leave this behind us."
Draco nodded his agreement and they got their trunks and prepared to go into the muggle world.

Like it? Hate it? Want me to redo it? I will not know unless you send me a review and tell me. And a word to the wise-- the only thing that flames do to me is give me the irrepressible desire to make s'mores, so if you are going to flame me-- save your time and just don't do it.
I sincerely hope that you enjoyed this chapter and if you didn't I'm sorry.
Warning-- the rating will go up in the next chapter for a little language.
Kudos to everyone!!
