Disclaimer: Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not J.K. Rowling so I don't
own much.
Author's note: Are the teachers traveling to Hogwarts together with the students? I'm not sure, but in this chapter I'll say that they do. Lupin does so in PoA, doesn't he?
Chapter 2 – Returning
She arrived to platform 9¾ fifteen minutes early. When she entered the train, she met Minerva McGonagall in the corridor.
"Professor McGonagall!"
The professor turned around.
"Miss Granger! Welcome! But please, call me Minerva."
"And you can call me Hermione." She said and smiled.
"You can go and take a seat. The staff is sitting in the end of the train." Minerva said.
"Thank you."
Hermione made her way between students, trunks and cages to the end of the train. She opened the door to the coupe which Minerva had pointed out. There was only one person sitting inside. The man looked up and looked straight into her eyes with his own silvery ones.
"Granger." He said slowly.
"Malfoy." She said coolly.
"You'll address me as Professor Malfoy."
Oh, really. What about that crap that the teachers would address each others with first names?
"I didn't expect to see you here." She said.
"Defence against Dark Arts teacher." He said and she could hear that he was very proud. "What about you, I thought you were an auror."
"Things happened." She said simply.
"Oh yeah, I heard. I'm extending your condolences." He said politely.
"Thank you."
They didn't have much more time to talk since the rest of the staff entered. Everyone was left from the time when Hermione had been studying at Hogwarts herself. The train started moving and soon left King's Cross.
Author's note: Well, the shorter the chapters are, the sooner can I publish them. I'll try to write longer ones, though, but I just felt that this was a nice place to stop. Please review. Thanks.
