"You actually like Hermione?" Harry finally managed to close his mouth and ask. "Are you sure your talking about Hermione Granger?"

"Yeah. Beautiful Honey coloured flowing curls...gorgeous Chocolate brown eyes...slight tan...perfect figure...I could go on for days you know" Seamous closed his eyes thinking about her.

Nobody noticed but Ron's face was turning red with anger. "That's all you care about! Her looks! Do even care about anything else?"

"Well, of-of course I do..." Seamus stuttered, "She's smart...wait, no. That means she has morals. Well, umm....she er...she...umm...i'll have to get back to you."

"Don't bother," Ron got up and walked out of the carriage. He walked over to the carriage that Hermione was in, reading her book silently. Ron turned around.

Harry was standing behind him. "I can't believe him. There is more to Hermione than her looks and if you ask me..." Harry looked into the carriage at Hermione reading her book with her reading glasses on. Sitting Idian-style on the bench with her skirt flowing down to her knees(A/N: Ok ppl! Just to verify, they can't see anything at all...). Very long smooth curls tucked behind her ears, with two small curls escaping and falling onto her book. She sleekly pushing them back beind her ears. Man, How could I have never seen how beautiful she was before? He asked himself.

"What? If I ask you what?" Ron interrupted.

"Er, umm..if you ask me...she really isn't all the beautiful." Oh great, now i'm lying to my best mate of all time. "Well...I mean, she is beautiful, but in a friend way." Damnit! I did it again!

"Oh yeah. What I was going to say," Ron blushed.

They could hear Ginny, Lavendar & Parvati shrieking with laughter and looked to see that Hermione had not even minded to look up from her book.

"Five minutes until carriages leave for Hogwarts! Find your carriage!" A teacher shouted from somewhere in the distance.

Ron and Harry were about to leave to go and find another carriage, but decided to take one last glance at Hermione. They saw a silent tear fall from her eyes onto her book, which went unnoticed by the 3 roudy girls in the carriage with her. All Harry could think about was comforting her, but couldn't help but think it was his fault that she was crying.

They heard another announcement saying there was 4 more minutes to find a carriage. They walked around finding no other empty carriages so they went back to the one with Seamus & Neville in it and gave them glares as they walked in.

**Hermione's POV**

Hermione looked like she was reading her book, but she really wasn't. She was thinking about that day. Thinking about how much she likes Harry and how much she would like to tell him, but thinking he would only laugh.(A/N: hey guys..i'll only make this Harry/Herms...if u want..otherwise i'll make it Draco/Herms...cos that's wot I want!...lol...so..Dr/Hr..or H/Hr...vote, vote!)

Thinking that it would somehow get out and all of the girls would come and laugh in her face because she was not worthy. She was just a friend. Somebody to copy homework off of. Somebody who's there when nobody else isn't. Not really important. Not somebody who could ever be loved by someone.

She thought of the day, when all of the girls came to Harry's rescue. Of how all she wanted was to hold him herself and not have anyone else around. Not even Ron.

Of how easily she was tossed aside and not even given a second thought. Of how she would never amout to be anything but a lousy mudbl...muggleborn...I can't even say that word! She thought.

Of how...Malfoy...Malfoy...Malfoy might be right...maybe I am just a muddy mudblood.

A single tear fell down her rosy cheek. Going left unnoticed by all else.

But what she wondered...is why she only shed a tear when she thought of her enemy insulting her.

Shouldn't I be upset over Harry? If I should, then why do I cry when I am upset over Draco...er...Malfoy. Malfoy. I meant Malfoy.

**Draco's POV**

Draco yawned. These muggle stories bore me, He thought, they involve nothing exciting. I wish this kid would just shut up. He's only on my good side because he hates Potter and has the oppoutunity to get him good, seeing as how they live together during holidays.

"And then I just took it straight from his hand! Punched him around a bit," Dudley droned on, "made sure he was black and blue first and then I stood on the table and read his acceptance letter to this school and I got rewarded from it so much and then I beat him up more and-"

"Oh shut your fat face. I don't care." Malfoy's face flashed with anger. "That was 7 years ago. Nobody cares."

Everybody's grin dropped in the carriage. They thought it was great until Draco had commanded them not to think it's great.

"Who do you think you are?" Dudley stood in the carriage, as it leaned one way. "Telling me what to do like i'm your pet. I don't think so."

"Well, I do think so and don't you ever talk back to me again." Draco took out his wand and put it to Dudley's heart. "I've been doing magic here for 7 years and i'm a death eater. Don't mess with me."

Dudley gulped and sat back down.

Draco put his wand back in his robe's pocket and sat back down too. "Now! Everyone! Let's get started on our plans of how to get Granger into the palm of our hands so we can give her a present by Christmas."

"What are we going to give her?" sqeaked Goyle.

"Why, we're going to give her a beautiful X in our book," smirked Draco.

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_ *_*_*_*_*_*_*

Well now you know Draco is a death eater if you didn't before...umm...tell me if you want Harry and Hermione together or Draco and Hermione...I gotta know these things...sorry if it takes me forever to update again...I appologize for this being so short, but i'm bored! lol.

CrazySwimmer27: ok...umm...well, I guess all the guys like her now...but they don't show it so she thinks nobody likes her and she is crying...for one guy in particular. lol. Cute Pig: I know...I do a lot of pointless things..lol..I just havent had any super great ideas...and when I do get them...I always forget them!..lol sleeper: I know exactly wot you mean about the nice Draco thing. I don't really like stories that are Hermione/Ron...it's a bit creepy...I always imagine him walking around always being unhappy...so I give him heartbreak..dunno why...sorry to all u Ron fans! lol. I really don't like Goodie-Goodie Draco stories either..so maybe I can do this without making him good...I made him a death eater..so that's bad...lol...and he's still on about the book. X-kid: I'll think of something for him to get in trouble by..but I think the whole point of the story is Dudley going to Hogwarts..so there has to be some conflict with him in it. CrystalMoon: I'll try to work some of Herms/Harry action in there, but I think most of my fans want it to be a Draco/Hermione story...so...i'll have them both kinda, ok? lol. Thanx for reviewing!!! All u new and old people....REVIEW!!!! lol... I love you!!! *blows you kisses* I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
Cheers,
