True Hate's First Kiss
Chapter One: Better than Exams!
"Hey, Harry, hi, Ron!" Hermione chirped at the Gryffindor table, one early morning. She wore a grin on her face that shouted, 'I'm in love!'
"Hello, 'Mione," Harry smiled at Hermione curiously, "what's with the grin?" He looked at Ron who was chowing down on some bacon and sausage.
Ron looked up from his food, with grease all over his fingers and face, "Yeah, Hermione," He wiped his face with his sleeve. "You look like you're in love! Or even worse… that exams have come!"
Hermione giggles, "Silly boys! It's even better!" She bites her lower lip and bounces.
Harry and Ron look at each other and swallow hard, "You've become the teacher?" Harry asked.
Ron goes pale, "No… It can't be! Can it?" Ron rubs his eyes, "Your freckles…. they're… gone!"
Hermione tilts her head, "They are?" she pulls a mirror out of her robes and looks, "Hmm… so they are!" Hermione looks back at the boys, "Well, I guess you'll never guess, so I might as well tell you!" She pauses for a minute, "After I get a bite to eat!"
Harry sighs and takes the toast out of Hermione's hands, "Hermione, just tell us!"
Hermione smiles secretively, "Okay, I'll tell." She leans in to speak softly, "Madame Chauncey, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, asked me to tutor someone." She smirks, "Draco Malfoy."
