Disclaimer: I do not own any thing except the plot and a few
characters. JK is the genius behind the main idea.
A/n: I know things seem to be moving fast now, but I have a few things I need to get out before the real plot comes out and I wanted to get on with it. I also realize this plot seems clichéd, but it will be different, well as different as possible without morphing the characters... blah blah blah, on with the story.
CHAPTER 2: The confrontation and surprise
Hermione walked cautiously toward the secret path between platforms nine and ten. She took a nonchalant glance around at the passing travelers who were paying the young woman no attention. She rushed with a spurt of adrenaline toward the small wall and immediately emerged onto the hustle and bustle that was platform nine and three quarters. She slowly made her way to the middle of the platform, anxiously awaiting the arrival of her friends. She glanced around at her fellow classmates and a few parents as they made their last minute good byes. She shifted her weight to the other foot and continued to look around. The scarlet steam engine stood proudly in the center of it all, smoke starting to billow from the smoke stack. She watched the young couples holding hands and making goo goo eyes for one another. It made her feel alone. ' Why can't I have that? Am I so hideous?' She thought to herself. She shook her head in silent answer to her own question. She had had plenty of boyfriends over the summer, of course the relationships never lasted long. She remained abstinent, resulting in being dumped by many a boyfriend. She wanted something more. She wanted love. 'Yeah right Hermione' She scolded herself. 'Love. That will happen' she thought sarcastically. Starting to get agitated with waiting with only young lovers for entertainment she climbed onto the train to await her friends arrival. She walked past several people she recognized, making polite greetings, but she sighed in relief when she found an empty compartment. ' They'll find me.' She reassured herself. As the train started to move she shifted nervously in her seat. She sat up straight as the compartment door slid open. "HI, I'm sorry to bother you, but do you mind if I sit here?" None other than Seamus Finnigan asked. Realizing he didn't recognize her, she smiled slightly. "Seamus, of course you can sit here!" She added gingerly. Seamus opened his mouth to thank her but sat down looking puzzled. "It's me Hermione!" She exclaimed hoping to ease the tension. The young wizards eyes widened in surprise. "Hermione? Bushy haired, buck teeth, brainiac Hermione?" He said in a rush. Assuming he was in shock , she didn't take his comment to heart. "Well. The all NEW Hermione." She said confidently. "Wow. You look amazing." Seamus added with a blush. The conversation went on for a few minutes when the compartment door opened and the long awaited duo , along with Ginny, entered the compartment. "Hey Seamus. Have you seen Hermione around?" Ron asked. Ginny, not being as clueless as the other people in the compartment jabbed her brother in the ribs and brushed past him and enveloped her friend in a hug. "Hermione it's so good to see you. Sorry we were late, Ron couldn't find his wand." Hermione nodded, happy to see her friends. She eagerly turned to her best friends for reactions. Ron and Harry both looked from Ginny to Hermione in shock. They finally pieced it together and gave her hugs. After very many compliments on her looks and several minutes o ftch up, the conversation focused on quidditch. Hermione soon found herself bored and looked around the compartment. Seeing her boredome, Seamus took the opprutunity to talk to Hermione. "Would you mind talking to me alone for a moment." He said anxiously. They stepped into the nearest compartment and Seamus looked at Hermione intently. "Hermione, the past few years, I have had the biggest crush on you. I needed to let you know how I feel, because you look so ravishing, that most guys will notice you know, and I want to get to you before them." He paused a moment to study her face. " Will you be my girlfriend?" He added sheepishly, looking to his feet. As if realization just slapped her in the head "Of course!" She exclaimed. Seamus smiled happily as the two walked out of the compartment hand in hand. They were about ready to enter the compartment full of their friends, when a cold drawling voice was heard from behind them. "Aww, did the loner finally meet a girl?" He spun Hermione around, realizing who she was when he saw the polished prefect badge on her chest. "Mudblood?" He cleared his throat as Hermione glared at Draco Malfoy. "You are supposed to be in the head compartment with me. Off you go mudblood." He covered his surprise. He smiled smugly as she turned her back toward him and said good bye to Seamus and sauntered off in front of him. Draco snickered and followed her, clearly enticed with the view. As Draco shut the door behind him, Hermione gave her best effort to avoid eye contact, not to mention conversation. "How in the hell did you make head boy? Bribe someone? Ask daddy to call in some favors?" Hermione asked smugly. "Snape put in a good word. But as much as you would hate to believe it, I as you, am at the top of our year." He looked her over again. "Have surgery over break?" He chided. "I am not going to engage in childish arguments with you Draco." She grimaced as she realized she called him by his first name. "Mudblood, don't pull your high and mighty shit with me. We have to work together this year so you bloody well get used to me being around." He smirked a classic slytherin smirk. "As you and your cocky ego better get used to me. You slytherin prick!" Hermione said coldly. He shrugged off her anger. "oh A friesty one." He said sarcastically. They sat in silence for a moment before someone had cooled off enough to speak. "So Granger, if it wasn't magic, what the hell happened to you over the summer?" Hermione glared at Draco. "Wouldn't you like to know." She said through gritted teeth. She sighed loudly and decided to end the bickering. "Malfoy, as we both know we will both be forced in extremely uncomfortable close quarters, we should stop this now. Call a truce." Hermione tried. "Fine. Just don't expect-" Hermione interrupted him. "us to be friends. Exactly what I was thinking." Draco stuck his hand out for a hand shake. Hermione agreed and touched their hands together. A jolt of electricity shot through them both and Hermione's eyes turned a bright red as Draco's a deep green. As they remained in contact, their heads tilted back as power emerged through them both. They slowly started to rise toward the ceiling when Hermione fought the power and jerked her hand away. The two instantly fell painfully to the floor. The compartment door slid open as a dark figure stepped forward. "As I suspected, Get up!" The voice bellowed as darkness entered the compartment.
