Keep the reviews coming people;) And Fluff, there will be very little H/R this is going to be more a H/D fic.
This fiction is going to get a bit dark later so that's why I rated it R in case you were wondering. I'll tell you one thing though, there won't be any rape. Oh yes violence and (a long way down the road) sex and maybe both at the same time, but no rape.
BTW: I own nothing of the Harry Potter world. J.K. Rowling I bow to thee.

When I turned around Malfoy's eyes were shooting Daggers at me, as he couldn't yell because the force of the spell had knocked the wind out of him. He floundered around like a tortoise stuck on he's back. Now it was my turn to laugh ergo a bit nervously because I had no clue what to do now. Until I saw him start to reach for something in his robes and I yelled "Expelliarmus!" Malfoy's wand flew across the room.
"Crazy mudblood bitch", Malfoy hissed.
That word still boils my blood. I walked over to him, peered down at him coldly and said, "Better mudblood than inbreed you big bell-head".
Malfoy's eyes widened with rage, "How dare you, you little…"
"Oh I dare Malfoy, I dare quite a bit from this position", I said with an evil smirk as I raised my foot to stomp on his manhood.
"Nooooooooooooo! Please nooooooooo!!!!!!" he yelled and then broke into a coughing fit.
A split-second before my foot would have left Malfoy a wonderful castrato I stopped. With a satisfied grin I said, "There now, you see, you can be polite to a muggle born". I walked over, picked up his wand and sat down by my pile of books. "I think this is the only empty compartment in this car and therefore the I'll take the spell off when the ride is over, until then keep your mouth shut while I read. Try ANYTHING and I'll snap this lovely wand of yours".
I ignored his glare and examined his wand carefully, it really was lovely, banned black with a hint of dark green. It was unusually heavy, absolutely rigid, and a bit longer than my own wand. I placed it beside me on the seat and picked out my worn copy of 'One Thousand and One Arabian Nights' from my mountain of books.
I had just gotten into the 'The Story of the Second of Three Ladies of Baghdad' when Malfoy opened his trap again, "Granger if you don't let me out of here I will make life very unpleasant for you later on".
I hung my head completely limp with a sigh then looked down at his hateful face, "Oh yeah, that would be a change in your general manner where I'm concerned. Tell me, do you want me to hex you repeatedly, because I've really been fighting my inner sadist today and it would be nice to cut lose. I bet I could be quite creative, one advantage of being a book worm…or perhaps I could go get Ron and Harry down here for a go at you".
His tone changed from threatening to just narked, "I'm serious. I really don't want people to talk about us…together… in a compartment… alone. If you know what I mean", he said lowly then gave a little yelp as red energy crossed from the tip of my wand to his chest.
I smiled evilly at his discomfort and said, "So am I Malfoy *zap!* and don't worry", *zap!* you being here is bad enough. I don't want to have to deal with ridiculous questions and rumors. I'll throw you out a bit before I leave".
ZAP!
"AHH! Granger, cut it out and why not let me out now?" he said getting red in the face.
"Because you'll go for reinforcements and I don't want to deal with you scum right now. I just want to sit in peace for a while. Here, I'll turn on some music and we can both pretend the other doesn't exist" I said and had to force myself to stop shocking him; it was just so very amusing to see him squirm.
I pulled from my ropes a small change purse and took from it two marble sized items and placed them onto the floor. I point my wand at each saying "amplius apparatus" for both and presto! My CD player and collections of CDs lay before me. I smile inwardly thinking how funny it would be to draw them out whole like Mary Poppins.
I picked up my collection of CDs and glanced over at Malfoy to say, "I don't suppose you would have lowered yourself to listen to any currant Muggle music before?"
He smirked and replied, "You suppose right for once".
"Okay, just pretend you don't exist", I said.
I started flipping through my CDs. Just then the gray skies let a gentle rainfall over the land and a lovely melancholy embraced my heart. I popped in my 'morning mix'. I stared out the window watching the world fly by to Dido's 'Thank You'. I was completely lost in thought when I felt the train begin to slow down. It was a thousand times smoother that a muggle train, but the familiar straining of the train and subtle inertia was still there. Amazingly enough Malfoy kept quiet, probably plotting my early demise.
I tucked Malfoy's wand into my... oh crap. I had forgotten to change out of my robes. With a sigh I gathered my things and started toward the door.
Malfoy suddenly shouted, "Granger! Get your arse over here and release me!"
With out even turning around I said, "Calm down. Look, I'm going to roll your wand down the hall and then I'll let you out. I'll lock the door and stay in here for a bit, okay?"
"Fine, just be gentle with my wand…or else", he said with a defiant look.
I responded with a cocky, "Heh".
I opened to door and looked about; there were 2 Hufflepuff girls at the other end of the train gossiping happily. I smiled to myself knowing that my plan would work and tossed the wand down the hall. I spun around and walked behind Malfoy.
I pointed my wand down at him and said, "libero". He hopped up, stretched, and without a word he walked out the door. I closed and locked the door and took off my robes. I removed and enlarged a mirror from my change purse. I straightened the neckline of my black tank top and put on my comfy light pink jacket. I smoothed my black suede skirt down to its normal mid-calf length, enjoying the feel of the suede as I did so. I did a turn in front of the mirror in my keds to make sure I was presentable and then threw everything back in the change purse except for my copy of 'One Thousand and One Arabian Nights'. I opened at where I left off and began to read until the train came to a complete stop.

"But I don't want to go among mad people." Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
