PLATFORM 9 3/4

"Alright, Hermione. I'll see you in summer alright?"

Cassidy gave me a kiss and started to walk away just as Ginny came running up to me.

"Hermione! It's so good to see you!"

"You saw me last week, what are you talking about?"

"I know. I still can't believe that your sister and my brother are going out. Don't you think that's cool?"

"Yeah."

"You know what else I still can't believe?"

"What?"

"What you did to yourself. You look great, don't get me wrong, but it was like so sudden."

"Yeah, well I couldn't take the name calling anymore. So I changed."

"I can't wait to see Malfoy's reaction."

"Yeah..."

"Hey I guess I don't have to wait long."

She was totally right. Malfoy had just walked through the wall with Blaise Zabini and they were just walking past us when he heard Ginny say his name.

"What the bloody hell are you saying about---"

He stopped yelling at Ginny when his eyes scanned over to me. His eyes seemed to pop out of his head and his mouth seemed to hit the floor. I smirked at his appearance and heard Blaise mutter something indistinctively.

"Sorry, what , Blaise?"

He looked at me and blushed.

"I said, 'wow, you look really hot.'"

"Oh, well thank you Blaise."

I blushed too. Nobody had ever said that to me.

"Don't you think so , Draco?"

"Think what?"

"That Hermione looks hot."

"Granger? Hot? Why would I think that?"

I scoffed turning to face Ginny I saw Malfoy blush a little out of the corner of my eye.

"Well, we'll see you either on the train or at school, alright Hermione?"

"Sure, Blaise. See you."

"I have to go get Draco to admit to himself, and me, just how hot you are."

"Have fun with that."

"Oh, I will. I'll see you later."

Blaise walked away practically dragging Malfoy alone with him and when Ginny turned to me and started giggling, Blaise turned to Malfoy and basically did the same thing. And we decided to follow them so we heard everything they said. Blaise looked back every once and a while as if to make sure we could still hear them.

"He so thinks your hot."

WITH DRACO AND BLAISE

"You so think she's hot."

"I do not, Zabini."

"Oh, come on Malfoy. Admit it. You like her."

"I will not admit to something that isn't true, Zabini."

"Alright, fine. So she looks like a total hag, I got it."

"Alright, fine. She's gotten prettier over the summer."

"Well of course she's gotten prettier over the summer, but she's more than pretty now, don't you think."

"I'm not admitting to anything more."

"Alright. So she's pretty…like one of the first year girls."

"Blaise..."

"Draco..."

"I swear to Merlin if you don't leave me the bloody hell alone I'm going to---"

"Going to what? Admit that you secretly wish she was your girlfriend?"

"ALRIGHT FINE. She's pretty, she beautiful, she's gorgeous, she's absolutely so irresistible that I want to ---"

"Hey Drakie!"
