Mismatched Love

Chapter One: The Princess of Darkness

Hermione Granger stepped off the Hogwarts Express as it alighted. September the first had somehow seemed to take forever to come and she was grateful when the school term had started.

Taking a deep breathe and looking at the surroundings, she couldn't help but feel a wave of happiness and relief overtake her as she took in the familiar sight of Hogwarts, much as she hated to admit it, the school had become her second home and she felt a tinge of pain as she remembered it was going to be her last year there.

Flashback

A tawny owl flew in through the open window of the room as Hermione sat at the end of her bed. Accustomed to this, she calmly untied the piece of parchment tied to the leg of the owl as it stood there staring at her. She unrolled the parchment and read out aloud the first paragraph of the letter.

Dear Ms Granger,

You have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry… Knew it would come for me sooner or later."

Fast forward to her first year, Hermione remembered stepping of the scarlet Hogwarts Express and looking at Hogwarts for the first time. Then in the Great Hall as the rest of the school watched as the Sorting Hat was placed on her head, she felt the cheers from the members of her own house as she calmly walked to the table of… Slytherin.

end of flashback

Hermione smiled a small smile as she remembered this. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice behind her. She inwardly groaned and rolled her eyes as she came face to face with her "friend", Pansy Parkinson.

"Hermione!! Oh my gosh!! It's SOOO good to see you again!! You don't know HOW glad I am to see you!!" Pansy squealed as she came face-to-face with Hermione.

"Yes Pansy, I know how glad you are to see me…" Hermione said, rolling her eyes.

"Anyways, why didn't you reply to any of my letters?! I owled you SOO many times, how come you didn't even replied once?!"

"Pansy, I was busy…" Hermione lied, remembering the huge stack of letters that was addressed to her.

"Oh… anyways, I absolutely LOVE your earrings, are they new?? And did I mentioned how they bring out the colour of your eyes…." Pansy said, talking non-stop.

Hermione just stared at the pug-faced girl beside her. How could anyone talk so much nonsense continuously, it was a miracle. Hermione then cringed as she felt the familiar feeling of someone breathing down her neck.

"Crabbe. Goyle"

The two grunt and snorted simultaneously when they heard her acknowledge their presence. Hermione sighed inwardly as she thought, "Great stuck with my world's biggest and most annoying fan and the two boars with dirt for brains again… Arrgh…"

She then looked to her side and saw three familiar faces. She looked at the trio in disgust and thought,

"Weasley, a disappointment to the purebloods but most probably too stupid for anything.

Potter, the halfblood who survived Voldemort's curse and lived. So what?

Malfoy, the irritating mudblood who clinged on to the other two fro support."

Together, they made up a team that she hated and loathed ever since first year.

Why bother herself with those low-lives anyways, she was a Granger, a pureblood and the Princess of Darkness, everyone knew her family were the biggest supporters of Voldemort, even though Voldemort had been destroyed and her father in Azkaban her family had still retained its former glory.

Looking at the trio on her left in disgust again, she quickly stepped into the horseless carriages and watched the night sky as the carriages drew closer to Hogwarts.

A/N: So? How was it? Please go easy on me!! This is my first HP fic! Send in your reviews!! To those who are confused I swopped the roles of Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger. So Hermione is really snobbish in this story and Draco is the good friend of Harry and Ron. Like it? Hate it? Just tell me what you think! Please don't break my heart and send in flames ok? If you really do, at least phrase it nicely. Thanks.

I will end rant here.
