Point Of View Chapter 2

15-year-old Hermione Granger stepped through the barrier and onto platform 9 ¾. She was starting her fifth year, and as usual, this year was bound to be filled with adventure, like all her other years at Hogwarts.

Sighing, she made her way over to the Hogwarts Express. Although she never told anyone, Hermione was lonely. Sure she had Harry and Ron, but it wasn't the same as having a girl friend.

There was Lavender and Pavrati, but Hermione wasn't like them, they would rather stay in the dorms than go on an adventure.

Hermione shook her thoughts out of her head as she approached the compartment that she Harry and Ron sat in every year.

"Hey guys" Hermione said cheerfully as she entered the compartment.

"Hey Mione" They replied. Hermione sat down across from them,

"Have you heard anything about this year's DADA professor?" she asked

"Actually" Ron spoke up, "I haven't heard anything about it, which is surprising."

Hermione and Harry looked at Ron, "Really?" Harry asked

"Yeah, nothing. It's being kept a secret." Ron replied

Hermione opened her mouth to say something, when the door to the compartment slid open.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Potty, Weasel and the Mudblood." came the unmistakable voice of none other than Draco Malfoy.

"Why don't you just leave us alone Malfoy?!" Harry yelled.

"No need to yell Potty, I was just passing through" Draco sneered and slammed the door shut. He continued down the corridor with Crabbe and Goyle behind him.

"I REALLY hate that prick" Ron muttered under his breath.

Hermione looked out the window, and to her surprise she realised that they were almost at Hogwarts. "Guys, we should get changed, we'll be arriving soon." Hermione informed the two boys.

They left the compartment so that Hermione could change in private. Hermione sighed and looked out the window.

'Alone again' she thought to herself, and smiled wistfully to herself, her eyes filled with sadness.

Meanwhile on the other side of the globe.
