HERMIONE

I called him Draco! How could I call him Draco? I didn't even think I knew his name and I bet he thought the same thing, well I suppose I have heard it before but…ARGH!

I go back to Harry, Ron and Ginny who are arguing about Ginny's crush since last year, Dean Thomas. She has no chance, I know he doesn't like her as a fact, I get so sick of her, she thinks that she is so great just because she hangs out with Harry Potter. Well guess whom else she hangs out with? Her brother! Everyone in her year hates her because she ditched them for Harry Potter! And she thinks he likes her!

I fall asleep for the rest of the ride.

I'm riding a hippogriff made of marshmallows we're jumping over shoe jumps, Chuck Taylor ones, And1 ones and Nike ones. We finish jumping and my horse (it's called mallow-marsh) says to me 'I like bacon'

The train jerks to a halt and I wake up. Someone's arm is around my shoulders, it's Ron.

"Have a good sleep?" Ron asks softly.

"Ahh, yeah," I reply awkwardly, "I'm gonna ah, go."

"We'll come with," Harry says "Get a carriage together."

"'kay, let's go."

We get off the train and the first thing we see is Hagrid. "Hey Hagrid!" Ginny calls out. Honestly, he's not even her friend, the only reason she met him, was when she was stalking Harry in her first year.

"You lot, get to a carriage quickly, it's gonna pour!"

And he was quite right as soon as Harry, Ron and I were in the carriage it started ton pour. Bugger for Ginny though, she got quite a bit of it.

I plonked myself down next to Harry, Ginny glares at me, I just smile.

"How were the rest of your holidays?" Ginny ventures.

No one says anything, I mean apart from the fact that we had Sirius' funeral and Harry was stuck with his bloody auntie & uncle how does she think it went? Honestly.

Everyone stayed quiet the whole ride up to the castle.

So, I'm walking through the doors when a bloody arrogant pig smacks into me, 'Stupid git,' I mutter under my breath, so when I turn around to see who it was, I see him flying through the air. It's Malfoy. And Harry and Ron think it's smart to start fighting him….in front of the second years!

"Stop it!" Hermione cried out as Draco slammed on the ground and the sound of his head thumping the ground echoed throughout the Entrance Hall.

Ron lowered his wand "Honestly 'Mione, what's wrong with you? Sticking up for Malfoy?"

"Nothing," Hermione looked down, "I just think you guys should leave him alone, he isn't his dad, or his aunt, just let him be him," Hermione pleaded to Harry; whose wand was still stuck on Draco, still on the ground.

Harry slumped to the ground and p, "I'm sorry 'Mione, really I am, I just, I don't like to think that Sirius' killer is still around and the closest person to the scum is Malfoy!"

Hermione lowered herself down to where Harry was sitting, "I know Harry, I know. Just you can't go harming people for other peoples mistakes."

Ron was shocked at what Hermione was saying "Hermione! This is Malfoy we're talking about, he hasn't all of a sudden turned good. Remember first year he tried to expel us. In second year he called you a-a-a…you know," Ron said quietly, and then rambled on , "Then in third year, he tried to fire Hagrid, Fourth year he made you look like a beaver and last year his dad killed Sirius! For Merlins sake, why don't you understand?"

Hermione looked at her friend with a neutral expression, "You don't think I'm considering all of that?" She asked Ron calmly, "It was his dad, not him, he was being polite to me today. So now, I shall take him to the hospital wing, if you don't mind," Hermione glared at Ron, gave Harry a quick hug and then went over to Draco.

Out of Hermione's earshot, Ron mumbled to Harry "I do mind, and if she doesn't know it now, she will."

"Ron," Harry started, "Hermione's always been the smart one, just watch and see, if she's right, she's right. If she's wrong feel free to gloat in her face," Harry smiled at Katie Bell as she and her friends walked passed.

"Whatever," Ron sulked off to the Great Hall.

Harry followed behind talking animatedly to Katie Bell.

Hermione was kneeling next to Draco, "Malfoy! Malfoy! Wake up!" Draco didn't move, Hermione sighed, pointed her wand at Draco and muttered "Enervate!"

Draco sat up, "What are you doing here?" He asked snarkily.

"I accept your apology," Hermione muttered, got up and headed towards the Great Hall…
