A/N: haha Well I know I have bad grammar. I'll try to do better on next ones, but is there a way to edit the story when its out there? Just like to know to fix it, thanks to the people who reviewed.

Recap: "Who is it!" said Draco in his annoyed voice still looking outside. A man slid open the door.

"S'cuse me, sir," said a man," But all the compartments full and young lady needs a place to settle her things. Is it alright if she'll be seating here?"

"What! No way! Tell 'em to go awa-," before saying another word he turned his head and saw a surprised curly brunette haired girl.

Chapter 2 Taking Action

"Ah, oh, yeah, sure," Malfoy said changing his tone of voice. He gave a smirk to Blaise, Blaise just gave a snicker, and looked at Hermione as the man left, "Well, hi, Hermione, couldn't stay away from me, huh?" The train man looked awkward and soon left.

"Get over yourself, Malfoy," she said in disgust, "Anyway, I'm only leaving my stuff in here, because there's no room left in Harry's compartment. And don't think I'm going to spend my time here."

" Aw, going to leave so soon? You just got here," said Draco. Hermione struggled to get all her stuff in. Draco saw his opportunity to show off his charm and stood up, " Oh, Hermione, let me help you with your luggage." Hermione's face became filled with confusion.

"Are you psychologically impaired at the moment? And why are you suddenly calling Hermione?" she asked inquisitively, " Weren't you just calling me Mudblood before?"

"Oh, Hermione, Hermione," Draco said trying to sound strangely soothing, "Must we dwell on the past?" Blaise gave out a laugh. Draco glared at him. "Hey Blaise, why don't you get some snacks?" Blaise mumbled something, but left to go who know's where.

"Hey Hermione," said Blaise as he pass her, " Don't be afraid to give him and smack on the back of his head now and then."

"Right, Blaise. Well, I don't need your help, Malfoy," Hermione said in a matter of fact voice, "Especially from someone like you." Draco shrugged and flopped down to his seat.

Hermione grabbed a suitcase and wobbled with it a while, but finally put it away 5 minutes later.

"Bravo, Hermione," he said is a sarcastic voice, "One down and another 4 to go?" Hermione gave a pout.

"Fine you can help me, Malfoy," she said in a low voice. Draco stood up and patted Hermione on the head.

"Good choice, you'll thank me later," said Draco, "Oh, and no need to be so formal. Call me Draco." Hermione just rolled her eyes. Draco walked over to Hermione and grabbed one of her suitcases with ease. From being so close to Draco, she notice he actually had some well-defined features. It is kinda cute how he smiles sometimes, Hermione thought giving a little smile, What the! What am I THINKING? It's Malfoy! She snapped back to her more serious face. Draco picked up her brown sachet on the floor.

"What's this?" he said humorously. He reached for the flap to open, but Hermione snatched it and held it close.

"It's mine and that's all you need to know," snapped Hermione.

After getting all the luggage packed

Draco sat back in his seat and gestured Hermione to sit next to him. She rolled her eyes, turning toward the door. Suddenly announcements turned on.

"Please be careful due to the uphill path. It may be rough ride. Thank you and have a nice day." It sounded just like the man before. Were all train people like that? Hermione thought.

"The least you could do is sit for a while with me," said Draco with a smirk. Hermione sat across from Draco and grabbed her sachet, looking away from him trying not to pay attention to him.

Hermione picked up her sachet and took out her purple striped book. Draco looked at her curiously. Hermione took out a normal pen.

"What, no quill and ink?" Draco asked. Hermione ignored him and wrote on. I'm on the Hogwarts Express, going to my new year and I can't wait! Sad thing is though, that I have to share the train ride with Draco Malfoy. He's acting quite strange from his usual annoying self. And hate to say it, but he's pretty cute when his big mouth isn't flapping. It's not that I like-

:THUD:

Everything fell back to the end, including Hermione straight to Draco's arms.

"Well I knew you'd be leaping into my arms, but not so soon," said Draco. Hermione quickly got up, pushing Draco away, but before she knew what happened, he saw a glance of Hermione's recent page in the book. Hermione lunged for the book back, horrified if Draco saw it.

"Did I just see my name there with the word, cute," said Draco sounding very amused.

"Well, you quite disregarded the words, annoying and big mouth!"snapped Hermione. She crammed the pen and book back into the bottom of the sachet and closed it tightly.

"So, you did say I cute?" he said grinning from ear to ear. Hermione started to feel red.

"In your dreams, Malfoy!" Hermione said quickly, "I'm going to Harry and Ron." She slid open the door and quickly turned around, "And you better not look through my stuff, or you'll regret it."

"Wouldn't dream of it" , Draco said. Hermione looked a him suspiciously, but left reluctantly. Gosh, she's such a prude, Draco thought, Well, maybe I can learn something about her by going through her stuff…. He opened Hermione's brown sachet that she left on her seat and found thick books and pulled them out. What the! Temples in the East? Roots and Remedies? I'm getting myself deeper than I thought. I'm going to have to take action if I'm gonna win . So, with that said, Draco closed up Hermione's sachet and hid it in his suitcase.

Hermione

"Hey guys," said Hermione and walked over to Ron and smacked him on the head and sat next to Harry.

"Ow," whines Ron with a wince of pain, "So, who are you with?" Hermione gave sigh.

"You wouldn't believe of all people," she said, "Malfoy." Harry and Ron's mouth dropped.

"That git didn't try to do anything to you, did he?" Ron asked angrily.

"What? No, no! I would never even let him," said Hermione.

"Well, you can stay with us at least," said Harry. Harry always said something that made her feel better, " and we're almost at Hogwarts." Hermione didn't have it in her to tell Harry and Ron how weird Malfoy was acting, so she switched the subject to other things.

Arriving at Hogwarts

Everyone gathered to their tables as they were for the opening ceremony. Whispers and buzzing filled the room as more people came. Above was a gloomy, dark blue sky. Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat together as always. A little curious, Hermione glanced over to the Slytherin table. Draco was talking with Blaise. Draco's eyes suddenly met with Hermione's. Stunned with surprise, she immediately turned her head the other way. Humph! Why did he look at me? Why'd I look at HIM? Ack! Think of something else. Anything besides MALFOY!

"Hermione? Is something wrong?" Harry said in a concerned tone, " You look a little flushed." Ron and Harry were staring at her confused.

"Huh? W-what? No, I'm a-alright," Hermione stuttered, "It's noth-" But before she could say anything else, Dumbledore started to speak. He gave his usual speech. When the students were in their common rooms now, the scarlet drapes and roaring fire made the room seem peaceful.

Slytherin Common Room

"So, how's it going with Granger," Blaise said teasingly. He and Draco walked up the stair to the boys' sleeping area.

"Oh yeah, she's difficult," said Draco casually, "But I got a little plan my sleeve." He went over to his trunk and open it up. Blaise sat on his bed, a little confused. Draco rummaged through and pulled out a brown sachet and sat on the bed.

A/N: Well, yeah. Feel free to critique me, I guess.
