Chapter 1: UNRECOGNIZED

"So Pansy and you are all alone in your rest house this whole vacation?" asked Vincent Crabbe still chewing his chocolate frog.

"What is shocking about that, Vince? He already dated 60 of the school girl's population and you're shocked because he is with a girl for just two months." Blaise said that while staring at his blonde friend just walking in front of him.

Draco Malfoy turned around to face his friends with an angry face. "Will you stop talking about her!"

'That stupid girl, I've expected to have a good vacation. She ruined it. She is so irritating but I can't disagree with my parents. I'll just disappoint father.' He thought angrily.

Then BUMP! Draco hit something and a book fell, with a loud thump, on the ground.

He looked at the person in front of him. It's a girl with beautiful brown hair that has soft curls at the end. He picked the book up. "Will you please be careful." Trying to recognize her. 'Who is she? I think I never dated her before…'

"I'm sorry it's my fault. I shouldn't be reading while walking. I'm very ---"

She looked closely at the boy in front of her. 'Wait a minute…is he really…'

"MALFOY?!"

"Granger! You bookworm! Next time, if you want to bump on somebody choose those who have the same blood like yours, MUDBLOOD! Look, you already ruined my robes even before we got to school!"

Draco threw the book at her direction and moved on. His companions followed him while still having mocking smiles on their faces.

"What a big brat." Said Hermione picking her book. 'He will never change. But… something is weird. He told me to be careful before the "mudblood" thingy. Maybe he didn't recognize me. Whatever…'

Ron Weasley was reading his Quidditch magazine while her sister was busy fixing her hair and looking at the levitating mirror in front of her when the door of the compartment opened. Ron glanced at the door's direction. "Sorry, this is already full we're just waiting for some of our friends." Said Ron looking again to the magazine. "Sorry Ron but I don't like any jokes right now." The Weasleys turned to the girl who is just closing door.

"Hermione!" exclaimed Ginny.

"Hermione?!" Ron said, confused. 'What the heck?!'

Hermione looked at him; "Will you stop it Ron. My day is already awful, don't make it worst."

'That stupid Malfoy!'

"Mione, why are you so angry?" asked Ginny with concern on her face.

" I bumped into a prat and talked to me as if he didn't recognized me." She suddenly spoke, now turning to her friend, Ginny.

"Hermione Granger?" asked Ron, still in the state of shock.

"What now, Ronald?" she asked, rounding on Ron.

Ron folded his magazine and continually stared at her face. 'Oh no! she is really Hermione. Wait till Harry sees her…'

Ginny knows exactly what her brother is thinking. Hermione did change a lot and someone might still not know about the relationship between Harry and Hermione.

"What do you mean? Did someone asked you out?" whispering to her friend so her brother won't hear.

"Hey you two, why whisper? You don't want me to know or is it Harry who shouldn't know?" commented Ron with a big smile on his face.

The door just opened wide. "Did I just hear my name?" asked a boy with eyeglasses, messy hair and green eyes.

"Harry!" said Ron "What a good timing you got there!" hugging his friend in a manly way.

Hermione stood up and greeted Harry. "Hi Harry"

"Hermione! Is that really you?" Harry exclaimed in disbelief.

Harry Potter hugged the brown-haired girl tight. "I've missed you so much." He whispered soft on her ears. "I really didn't recognize you."

'Damn! She's so beautiful…' he said to himself as he let go of her.

Draco POV

'Is that really Granger? I can't believe it she changed a lot, she's very beautiful. I didn't recognize her…'

"Hello, earth to Draco?" said Blaise waving his hand in front of Draco's face. 'What the heck is he thinking?' Draco is still staring at the ceiling of their compartment.

'Even though she changed her blood will never…' Draco thought to himself, confused. 'She's still a mudblood…'

"Hey Draco!" shouted Goyle.

"What!" exclaimed Draco.

"You're not listening and you should be because it's your expertise, you know." commented Blaise.

"Yeah, right. It's about GIRLS," said Goyle while rubbing his hands together. "We are talking about the first girls we're going to date this year."

"We want those kind of 'never been kissed and never been touched' but they are sure hard to find." said Crabbe. 'Because you already dated them first' he thought savagely.

"So do have any prospect already?" asked the blonde boy.

"Blaise have!" replied the two other boys.

"Who's the lucky girl?" asked Draco, smirking. "Hermione Granger of Gryffindor." replied Blaise in a sneering manner.

"The girl you just bumped a while ago. She dated only a few and selected guys so I think she's a perfect prospect this year."

"What?! Are you serious?" said Draco. "She's a mudblood."

"I know but I'm just going to date her, not marry her, unless you don't want me to." A confuse reply from Blaise.

"Why Draco, is she your prospect this year?" asked Blaise.

"Of course not. Never." Draco immediately replied. He turned his eyes away from his friends by staring to the ceiling again.

"But some rumors say that Potter and Granger are together now." Goyle said searching for some food in Crabbe's bag. Draco turned to his friend Goyle with disbelief in his face.

'What the heck?!…Potter is not even that good looking. He's just famous…' he said silently to himself.

"So…Potter and Granger. Okay, that's it. I'll have Granger this year." Draco said suddenly.

"W---what?! Wait! You just said that she will never be your prospect and now you decided that she would be your next target? You're so unfair!" Blaise exclaimed.

"Sorry, Blaise. But I really want to annoy Potter as much as I could." He replied with a smirk on his face. "This year is going to be much more interesting, you'll see."
