STARTING A NEW:
Hermione Granger waited outside the barrier of platform 9 3/4 with her father on a windy september day. She
was about to say her last goodbye until christmas break and it was hard. Leaving her father had been hard since
her mothers death. Losing mom had been tough on him and she hated leaving him alone in their big old house.
She hugged him tightley and felt a few tears trickling down her soft, flushed cheeks.
"Good bye Dad," she said tearfully, trying her best to smile.
William Granger hugged his daughter back and then held her out in front of him for a good look at his child.
"Goodbye, baby girl. Look how you've grown this summer. You look just like...your mother, so beautiful. I'm
going to miss you sweetheart. Write me if you need anything, anything at all." he said.
She blushed crimson from the compliments and brushed her hair out of her face smiling sightly.
"Aww, Dad! You're too good for me." she resoponded planting a kiss on his cheek.
He hugged her one last time and then began to walk back to their car. She called after him and he turned
around quickly and she noticed his eyes were getting teary.
"I love you Dad and I promise I will write every week!" she called. In the distance she could see him smile
and nod.
"I love you too pumpkin!" he yelled back and she blushed vividly hoping no one from school, especially Malfoy,
had heard that. If anyone had, she would get teased even more at school than she already did. It seemed they
began to tease her since her friendship with Harry and Ron had ended roughly in fifth year.
She watched as her father drove off and waved after him. She waited until she could no longer see her red car
and then sighed dejectedly as she turned to the entrance to the platform.
Goodbye's were a lot harder since her mother died.
Quickly she made sure no muggles were watching and ran through the barrier to the Hogwarts Express. She smiled
instantly when the train appeared before her and she knew she was going to her most favorite place in the whole
world.Dragging her trunk over to a train worker who placed it with the others she thanked the man and then
climbed on to the train walking all the way to the back left compartement, just opposite of the one Ron, Harry
and herself used to share. Looking out the window she searched for Ginny and Neville through the crowd. She
laughed at how much things had changed. Before fifth year, she never would have said Neville was one of her
closest friends.
She pulled back her long wavy hair. It was MUCH more tame now than when she was younger, another
plus of being seventeen she guessed. Her big honey eyes scanned the crowd for a sight of her friends and she
so busy watching for them that she didn't notice some one had entered her compartment until they spoke.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the lowley mudblood. Potty and Weasel still too cool to want to hang out with
you? Or were you just to bad in bed?" Draco Malfoy drawled from the doorway.
"I don't blame them for not wanting to be your friends. After all, who would want to hang out with an ugly
mudblood?" Draco continued, his face wearing the all too famous Malfoy smirk. Hermione stirred up all her
willpower to not turn around and look at him. It would be best, she decided, to try and ignore him, dont say
anything.
" You think you're so good don't you Granger. That you are just so much better because you are a Griffindor
bookworm and some one who used to be Harry Potters best friend." Draco continued, walking in and standing in
front of her. She could tell he was getting annoyed that she wasn't "acknoledging his presence".
"You don't ignore a pureblood, Granger!" He yelled pulling her up roughly from her seat. She trembled slightly,
but tried her best to show that she wasnt afraid of him.
"Let go of me Malfoy." she said through gritted teeth, trying to appear brave, though at the moment she shurly
wasnt feeling very brave. Malfoy pushed her roughley into the wall pinned her against it sneering
" And if I don't? What are you going to do? Yell for your old Potty and Weasel? Like they would save you!" he
laughed and hid grip tightened. She knew she was trapped,and Malfoy's grip on her was bruising. If only she
could reach her wand.
"Malfoy, I recommened that you let go of Hermione before I hex you to oblivion." a voice rang out from the
doorway causing Malfoy to spin around (pulling Hermione violently with him) and see who had spoken.
Hermione tripped and nearly fell but Malfoy still had a tight grip on her arm and she doubted that she would be
able to move AT ALL.
" What do you care Potter," Malfoy spat back. Leering at Harry who was standing in the doorway with Ron behind
him.
" She didn't do anything to you Malfoy so I suggest you leave before your HEADBOY gives you detention and
takes points of Slytherin before we even arrive at Hogwarts." Harry stated glaring at Malfoy.
"Don't think this is over Granger, your much to cocky for a mudblood, you'll be seeing me again, you can bet on
that." Malfoy said and then lowered his voice to a whisper only she could hear as she glared at him.
"And if I have any luck you'll end up looking exactly like your mother did when I'm done with you."
Hermione's eyes widened in fear as she remembered her mothers murder.
Malfoy shoved Hermione back into the wall and stalked off, muttering curses under his breath and leaving her to
the horrid memories and to Harry and Ron.
A moment passed in silence and then Harry walked up to her, her fear of what Malfoy had said visible and Harry
wished he could have heard what the bastard had told his old friend to make her frightened.
"Did he hurt you?" Harry asked taking a step forward with Ron bringing up the rear.
She shook her head and then looked up, her eyes locking with Harry's. Something about him always made her
heart skip a beat she put her head down and mumbled something that sounded like.
"A raw frie." but was obviously, "Im alright." Harry nodded and fought the urge to comfort her. She had hurt
him enough in the past years, starting off from the horrible withdraw. He still didnt know the reason she had
stopped talking to everyone.
Ron coughed and harry realised that he should probobaly leave when.....
"Oh MY GOD!!!!!" came the voice that was all too familiar.
"ITS HARRY POTTER AND RON WEASLEY!!! COME ON GIRLS LETS GET THEM!" Hannah Abbott from Hufflepuff cried and then
chased Harry and Ron away in to their old compartement.
Hermione sighed and then got up to close her door when Ginny and Neville appeared.
"Hermione!!! It's so good to see you again, Neville and I got stuck in this big stampede of girls, no doubt
they were searching for Harry and my brother Ron, god they are so immature!" Ginny laughed.
Hermione grinned and nodded, agreeing with Ginny. The girls at Hogwarts were a little obsessive of Harry and
Ron and though Hermione thought they were handsome, that was no reason for a girl to go crazy.
Neville hugged her and tried to kiss her on the cheek but Hermione pulled away just in enough time.
"WIll you go out with me?" he asked casually for the 400th time since 4th year.
She sighed.
"No Neville. We are just friends, besides why would this answer be different from the other hundreds I gave
you?" she asked exasperatly.
Neville smiled, though his heart was aching. " I just thought I would try, you know me." he told her.
Hermione laughed and Ginny and Neville joined in. They sat down and Hermione forgot all about the
confrontation with Malfoy glad to be back.
Maybe her last year at Hogwarts would be fun after all?
