Hermione had just crossed platform nine and three quarters. She had owled them earlier that
week, and neither of them were selected as Head Boy. She continued to wonder who it could possibly be
when she spotted a head of fiery red hair.
"Hermione!!!" Harry screamed excitedly as he hugged her. So after she was tackeled by Ron. She looked
at her two best friends.
'Wow! I hardly recognize them!' she thought to herself amusedly. It was true. Harry, once a short, skinny
boy, was now about 5' 9" in height, and had developed a muscular build from so much quidditch
training. He was quite handsome. Hermione then looked at Ron. He was now a towering 6'1" and his
once fiery red hair was now an auburn color, most likely from the summer sun. He was slightly more
muscular than Harry, and also very handsome.
"You look great 'Mione!" Ron exclaimed while Hermione grimaced at the nickname Ron had called her
since sixth year. Hermione, who was once the small, mousy looking bookworm with frizzy hair, had
developed into a beautiful woman. Once Hermione had found a spell from 'Witch Weekly' to tame
her frizzy hair, she had found it gave her a more mature look. It now fell past her shoulders in soft golden
curls. Her once shapeless body was now very curvy. The only trait in which she still retained was
the bookwormish nature.
"Thanks Ron. So how long did you two wait to do your homework this summer?" She asked jokingly
"Erm...well.." Harry muttered something incomprehensible
"What?" Hermione asked, not understanding Harry's mumbling
"A week before term started." Ron said, embarrassed
"Well don't come crying to me when you two have failed all of your essays. Honestly, how could
you boys be so careless?! I know for a fact that Professor Snape's essay must've taken at least
a whole weekend to write! And what about-"
"'Mione, the point is we got the essay done. Does it really matter how long it took? Spare me
the lecture." Ron said
"Fine" replied Hermione moodily
As the trio boarded the Hogwart's Express, Draco was looking at a very pretty girl. He had
never met the girl before, of that he was sure. He watched as she got onto the Hogwarts Express with-
What?! This girl was with Potty and the Weasel, and where was the mudblood? Wait. It couldn't be.
Was this girl...Granger?
'I must really be going nutters' he thought to himself as he went to look for Crabbe and Goyle on the train.
"So, 'Mione, how was your summer?" Harry asked conversationally
"It was great! We traveled over. We went to France, Italy, and a bunch of other places. Actually, I met this
very cute Italian boy!" But at Ron's warning look, Hermione quickly said "And we were only friends, Ronald"
"Like you were with Vicky?" Ron said sarcastically. When Hermione was about to reply, she was interrupted.
"Aww, is the Golden Trio having problens in paradise? That's such a shame." A cold voice drawled
"Shut your mouth, Ferret" Ron said sharply
"Is Weasel jealous that Mudblood found someone that might have enough gold in Gringotts to buy something?
Merlin knows you don't." Malfoy said tauntingly. For once, he was not flanked by Crabbe and Goyle. He
looked slightly intimidated when Ron reached toward his wand.
"You know what Malfoy, you're absolutely pathetic. All the gold in Gringotts couldn't buy you a life." This came
from not Harry or Ron, but Hermione.
For some reason, that remark stung Draco. He stalked back to his compartment, muttering about 'Unworthy
Mudbloods'
"Great going Hermione!" Harry exclaimed and Ron grinned proudly at her.
When Harry, Ron and Hermione got to their compartment, they were soon joined by Ginny. Instead of
sitting in a seat, she sat right on Harry's lap and kissed him while Ron made gagging noises.
"When did this happen?" Hermione asked slyly, motioning to Harry and Ginny
Since Harry and Ginny were peoccupied at the moment, Ron answered her. "Over the summer. They were owling
eachother back and forth. Once Harry came to the Burrow, he asked her out and obviously Ginny accepted, so
here they are, kissing." Ron said, thoroughly disgusted by the display of his sister and best friend kissing.
"Shut up mate. We were just saying hello." Harry said happily as Ginny slid into the seat next to him.
Hermione was very confused for the rest of the train ride. 'Why did Malfoy back out of that fight? He
didn't even insult me directly. Why do I even care? Why should I care what comes out of his mouth? Should I
even care that he got very sexy over the summer? With his sexy smirk, and his silky looking blonde hair
that falls into his dreamy face. WHAT DID I JUST THINK?' She looked up, startled. She hadn't even realized
what she was thinking. But although she was utterly horrified by her thoughts, she couldn't help think in some
part of her mind that he was very attractive. He had a very muscular build. His hair that was once slicked back
now hung limp in his face, accenting his gorgeous silver eyes and making him look very sexy.
