I do not own Harry Potter

Reviews

KingdomHearts' KC -> Glad you liked!

fuzzyotter-> Thanks for all of the awesome reviews! You'll just have to wait to see what kind of "stuff" happens, and until it does happen the rating will stay the same. Since it was Diagon Alley I thought I should add Fred and George and their new shop and have something about Ron. Keep reading and reviewing!

Blueflamerose-> Glad you liked the story. Many gasps!

linkinpark and goodcharlotte rock!!-> it's been updated as requested

Arianth-> Thanks for your help. I'll keep that tip in mind for future chapters.

BabyRuth-> I just wanted to get the point across that Draco is a confused and sad man, haha, glad yo uenjoyed and kept reading.

x g r e e n - e y e s x-> I've never read a fanfic about Draco wanting to be a better person so I thought to myself and said "Hey, why don't I do that". and yes I did have to add Ron in there somehow. It just wouldn't be complete with a little argument

Anus-> hope you keep reading! :)

The Hogwarts Express

The last few days before school started were spent shopping for the items on their lists and packing. They had received their Hogwarts letters three days before they would have to go back. Draco's also included a letter from the Headmaster.

Dear Mr. Malfoy,

We have had a lot of requests for re-sorting, but we are most proud to find that you are nothing like your father and would like a change in life. You along with a few other fellow students will be re-sorted after the first years on September 1st. Please enjoy the last few days.

Professor Albus Dumbledore

Draco handed the paper to Hermoine. She read it through, smiled, and hugged him tightly. She was so happy about this. He would be changed forever, unless of course his father broke out of Azkaban and made him go back, but that wouldn't happen...right?

Hermoine woke up with two hours to spare before the train would leave the station. She walked to Draco's room and shook him. "Wake up!" She said. "Mmmm 10 more minutes of sleep..." "Draco we only have two hours, and in that two hours we have to shower, eat, and get to the station to wake up!" She took his pillow and him over the head with it. Surprisingly he threw the pillow aside, slid his arm around her waist, and pulled her down on the bed beside him. "Sleep good" he mumbled, keeping his arm around her.

"Draco, I'm serious! Come on!" she argued while trying to escape from his arm but failing. "Sleep" he mumbled once again. Hermoine didn't want to do what she was about to do, but it was probably the only way to get him to open his eyes or to get him awake or out of the bed.

"Fine, I'll go to sleep." She nibbled on his ear and saw his expression on his face change. "But only if I can in the nude. It's the only real comfortable way to sleep" she said while running a hand over his chest. Just as she figured, his eyes shot open and he stood up.

Hermoine shook her head. "You're pathetic" she said and rolled her eyes. He grinned a cheesy grin at her. "Thank you very much. Now if you'll excuse me or care to join me coughPreferably Nudecough I'm going back to sleep now."

Hermoine grabbed a hold of the covers and pulled them off to find him sleeping in boxers. She stared open mouthed at his perfectly chiseled body and then snapped out of it. "Draco Malfoy! If you do not wake up this instant I will refuse to help you with the transition from Slytherin into another house!" Draco stood up slowly and walked up to her, slowly backing her up against the wall, until they were merely two inches apart. "Oh really?" he asks. She nodded and looks to the floor. "I've already got you caught in my trap, you know you can't resist" he says putting his arms on either side of her at waist length.

Hermoine shook. In a way she wanted to be in this position, but then she didn't. No, you can't fall for a Malfoy, a part of her mind was telling her. But a small part kept saying, too late. Malfoy felt the same way, but he couldn't let her know. Kissing her again after her 'make-over' was bad enough. It just made his feelings more strong for her. He debated on telling her, but thought it best to keep it to himself for a while, until he was sure she felt the same. He still couldn't believe that her hair would be permanently straight now without magic and that her complexion would stay as fair as it was. She was absolutely stunning.

Hermoine pushed him away playfully and threw a shirt, along with some pants at him. "Now that you're up, let's get ready" she said cheerfully. Draco heaved an exasperated sigh and pulled the shirt over his head. "That's a good boy" Hermoine said while patting his head and stuffing a piece of toast in both of their mouths. "Why can't we go somewhere to eat?" he asked. "Because you took so long to get up" she explained.

After finally locking Crookshanks in his cage, the two students of Hogwarts made their way to the muggle streets and flagged a cab down. "This is so strange" Draco muttered only loud enough for Hermoine to hear.

When they got to the station Hermoine handed the driver muggle money and he sped off. "Time to face everything" Hermoine told Draco. He was really quiet while walking to the platform with their trolleys. Before going through the barrier, Draco took Hermoine's hand and squeezed it tightly. He looked her over once more. Today she wore another dress, black with silver stars, tight fitting and strapless, underneath a silver cloak. He wanted to hold her hand the whole time but she let go of hers and headed towards the barrier. Draco followed slowly afterwards.

After going through the barrier, the two realized they had 10 minutes to get themselves settled. They both pushed their trolleys along in silence as they caught the attention of many other students at the school. We're a mudblood and a pureblood acting civil? Surely that can't be Draco! All of these thoughts were running through many people's minds as the two walked by.

Their trunks were put on the train and they walked down the aisle of the train, looking for an empty compartment. They finally found an empty one near the back of the train and they sat down inside. Draco looked at his watch (yes even wizards have them). "It's too early to be awake" he complained to Hermoine. "Aww muffin, sleep on the way there" she said as if it was an obvious statement. "But I don't have a pillow with me" Draco complained once again. Hermoine rolled her eyes.

The compartment door slid open and Pansy Parkinson walked in. "Oh Drakie Poo I missed you over the summer! I bet you must have missed me so much!" She said smothering the man with hugs. Hermoine rolled her eyes and stared out the window as the train started to move. Draco pushed her off. "I didn't miss you at all" he growled. "Leave me alone Pansy." "Oh Drakie, surely you don't mean that" she said while sitting across from him, leaning towards him so her shirt would gape and give Draco something to look at, but he refused to let his eyes wander on her. Hermoine, on the other hand...

"Drakie, who are you sitting with? I've never seen her before" Pansy said, looking at the witch wearing the silver cloak. Pansy was jealous of her good-looks, although she would only admit that she was the prettiest girl in Hogwarts, which was obviously a lie to everyone. "Trust me, you've seen her before, now will you please leave?" He asked. Pansy just ignored Draco. "Think of how much fun we could have if we were alone" she said and leaned in to kiss him. "Pansy, get over yourself! That was one time! It's never going to happen again! I refuse!"

Hermoine turned around for a moment and Pansy got a good look at her. "What the hell do you think you're doing sitting with that mud-blood?!" she shrieked when she realized who it was that Draco was sitting with. Hermoine turned around this time and looked at Draco to see what he would do. She cocked an eyebrow at him. "Well Pansy, if you must know, I decided to take a different path then what my father had planned out for me, and yes, that means I'm going to be re-sorted." Hermoine smiled a satisfactory smile while Pansy looked completely and utterly horrified.

"B-but you can't!" she stuttered! "First Blaise, now you! You're both too good for your own good!" she said and stalked back out with tears streaming down her face, making her mascara run. "Blaise is getting a re-sorting?" Hermoine asked. "Yeah, he owled me about it and he was the one who gave me the idea that maybe it was a time for a change in lifestyle and with the war going on...well his parents aren't death eaters or anything but they encourage him to go to the dark side as often as possible. Then one day he just broke down and yelled at his parents to bugger off and that he'd do whatever the hell he wanted to do."

"Wow" Hermoine said again as the door opened. "Speak of the devil, here's the crazy fool in the flesh" Draco said as Blaise stepped in. "I'm flattered you were talking about me, and who is this gorgeous angel that you're sitting with?" Blaise said while eying Hermoine up. Blaise had shaggy black hair that he let fall down naturally around his face. He had dark blue eyes that could easily be mistaken for black, and he had quite the body. He, along with Draco, was another one that the girls all swooned over.

As Blaise looked her over it started to click about who she was. "Granger?!" "Yes?" she asked. "N-nothing, you just look absolutely stunning!" he said, taking her hand and kissing it. Draco grew more and more jealous of this gesture that Blaise took on and felt himself becoming hot. Hermoine thought that Blaise was attractive, but she had more of an attraction to Draco and let her hand drop.

Blaise turned back to Draco. "Anyway mate, the real reason why I'm here is because there's a rumor on the bus that you're also getting re-sorted, but by the looks of you sitting with Granger here" "It's Hermoine" Draco said through gritted teeth. "Yes, well if you weren't getting a re-sorting I would have thought you had gone mad, but she is quite stunning now so maybe things can change" Blaise said. He stood up to leave. "I'll be seeing you both later, and hopefully you, Miss Granger." He winked at her and walked out.

Hermoine looked back out the window. That had certainly been an interesting 5 minutes with Blaise Zambini there, hitting on her like any other girl. She sighed; lately things were just too strange. First her and Draco kissed, twice! And he wants to change. Then Blaise Zambini hits on her like she's a Barbie doll.

She looked out of the corner of her eye to see Draco watching her. What was up with him? He had been watching her all summer, and as much as she liked it, she thought it was kind of creepy too.

Draco didn't know what else to do in the awkward silence so he watched Hermoine. He was close enough that he could smell her hair. Mmmm apples, he thought while taking in a whiff of her hair. He yawned and Hermoine laughed and turned around. "Honestly, how much sleep do you need?" she asked. He shrugged. "How do you live your life at Hogwarts by waking up at 8:00?" "I don't know, I guess I get used to it" he said.

He yawned again. "Now's the time when I wish I had a pillow with me" Malfoy muttered. He then looked over at Hermoine expectantly. "I'm not a pillow" she said almost at once. "Please?" he asked. "Only for a nap. I'd let you!" She thought to herself for a moment. "Fine" she said. Draco grinned. "But only if I get to play with your hair" she said triumphantly. It was well known that Draco hated other people touching his hair, unless it was in the middle of a snogging session.

"Fine" Draco said and laid his head down on Hermoine's lap and stared up at her. She smiled down at him and he closed his eyes as she ran her fingers through his blonde hair. Mmmm this feel really good, he thought to himself and drifted off to sleep. His hair's so soft, Hermoine thought while running her fingers through it.

Hours later Hermoine was finally capable of waking Draco up after trying quite hard. "We're here" she whispered and they both smiled at each other.

(A/N)-> this is the longest chapter yet. Hopefully the ones to come will be as long as this. I just had a lot of ideas. Keep Reading and Reviewing.
