Hermione awoke the next morning. There is an awful lot of chatter going on in the halls. She quickly remembered today was they day when they choose two Hogwarts representative to go to France for two days. She hoped she would get picked to represent Hogwarts. Hermione had handed in her paper last night along with every other 6 year student which included basically all of the students. It then hit her. The two students must have been chosen. That's why there is so much noise outside! They said the results would be up on the common room doors.
Hermione quickly put on her robe, got together all her homework, and school books she would need that day. Unless, if Hermione got picked. Their wouldn't be any class for the two Hogwarts representatives. They would get to pack all day and attend some meetings about what exactly they were going to be doing in France with the students from another school.
As soon as Hermione opened the door she spotted student all over the place. She quickly scanned the hall for her friends Ron, Harry, Ginny, or even Lavender. She found Ron and Harry in the crowd trying to push their way towards the list. Hermione pushed and finally got to where Ron and Harry were standing. "Hey Hermione," greeted Ron.
"Have you seen the list yet?" said Harry sounding nervous as if he didn't really want to know the answer.
"No I haven't… I just spotted you guyz in the crowd and pushed my way through."
"Er-" said Ron, "Your hair looks really good today Hermione."
"Thanks Ron," said Hermione blushing.
Finally, the three managed to get close enough to the list on the Gryffindor wall.
"Hermione you were chosen," said Ron sounding very excited for her.
"Oh my I don't believe it!" said Hermione, "Who else got in?"
Harry looked back at the list and looked at Hermione and Ron. "Malfoy," he spat.
"WHAT?" said Ron.
"Malfoy was the other representative from Hogwarts Ron," Harry said in a worried voice, "Hermione you can't go. Not with Malfoy. You know what he could do to you and it's not worth it."
"If it isn't POTTY, his side sick WEASLEY, and know-it-all GRANGER," came the unpleasant cruel voice of Draco. "Looks like Dumbledore's golden boy didn't get chosen to represent Hogwarts."
"Don't call him that!" said Hermione.
"Er- Draco?" said Crabbe who was standing right behind Draco.
"Not now-" started Draco who was interrupted by Goyle screaming, "GRANGER was also chosen!"
"Their must be some mistake," said Malfoy turning to Goyle he couldn't believe that Hogwarts was sending a Muggle-born witch... a filthy mudblood as a representative of the school. Malfoy grabbed Crabbe and Goyle away leaving Hermione Ron and Harry alone in the hallways.
The three friends just stared at one another for a minute in complete silence. Finally Hermione spoke, "I suppose it will be okay because we have to have a chaperon their. Malfoy will just leave me alone and ignore me."
"Are you kiddin' me," started Ron, "of course he will leave you alone! He knows that if he even tried to hex you when he came back we'd be right there to hex him back 10 times as bad!"
Harry started laughing so hard tears streamed down his face.

Hermione had spent the whole day packing. Actually, the packing only took a little more than an hour. It was the meeting she had to attend that took up a good part of her evening. Professor Dumbledore and Professor Minerva McGonagall called in the two representatives in for a meeting right before dinner. They were stunned at what the Professor McGonagall told them. As representative as Hogwarts they would have to behave in a certain way. But, what most surprised the two representatives was when the Professor announced they would be traveling by a muggle train.
"What?" said Draco uneasy about the fact that non-wizards would be sitting by him on the long journey to France.
"Don't worry we got a separate compartment for you two," said Professor McGonagall pointing at Hermione and Draco. "And of course one for myself Professor Flitwick who be your chaperons.
"Professor why not use a portkey?" said Hermione also not crazy about the idea on going on a normal train with muggles.
"Portkeys are very unreliable over such long distances and with lots of luggage we don't want any problems," said Dumbledore.

The rest of the day and at mealtime Draco tried to forget about Granger and that she would be alone stuck with him for the majority of the trip. All of his fellow Slytherins sensed his pain. He was in a really bad mood and defiantly not in the mood for Pansy right now. But, when he looked at Pansy he became happy. She had a way of making Draco forget anything that was bothering him.
"Oh Draco I don't believe they choose to send her with you."
"I know-"
"And the thought of you spending a few hours on the train compartment with her!" Pansy said.
"I know-"
"And it's just so bad with her being a MUDBLOOD. Just being with her is like practically social suicide!"
"I KNOW PANSY!" Draco screamed. "I know," he repeated more softly. I just don't feel like being reminded every second of the rest of my Granger-free day."

"Hermione ill write you," said Harry as Hermione grabbed Harry and gave him a long hug. She then looked at Ron and gave him a hug too.
"Oh I wish it was one of you who were going to France!" said Hermione looking at both of her best friends.
Hermione felt a TAP on her shoulder. "Hermione it's time to go," said Dumbledore.

Hermione found the compartment in where Malfoy was sitting. She knew this was going to be a very long trip….
