Some one new.

She looked out of the window on this cold cloudy day, luckily she was in the train. The train going to Hogwarts to be exact. Oh how she loved her magic, true she was supposably a muggle born, but that didn't mean she was one. She had only been raised as one. She had been taken away one night into a magical world where she learned new things that she had only read about, things that she learned to love and things learned to hate. But most of all she found what she had longed for all along, friends, that didn't mean she got every thing she wanted. No, she still wasn't complete, soon would be the next mating season, oh how she hated it with some thing like a passion. All these people, witches, wizards, and even muggles would go around expressing their love, which would end up being fake in a few months even weeks. But she would let them have their fun. Because this year it would be her time to search.

A.N.:: Okay mating is for some thing else but that was one of the only things that fit, but it's like Valentines day so deal with it.

Some one old.

Sighing I looked through the clear compartment windows, no such luck in finding an empty one or at least partly empty. So I headed towards to the back. Harry hadn't gotten here yet but that didn't mean I was completely hopeless in finding a compartment, after all I was the smartest witch in Hogwarts, if I didn't find one here I could just go to where Ginny and her gossipy friends were. I hadn't seen Ron or Harry since sixth year but that didn't bother me I was actually hoping on not seeing them on the train cause I wanted to surprise them on my 'new' look.

Yes Hermione Granger got a new look. Well not completely. I just let the other side of me show, of course with a little help of my muggle friends and Ginny. We went clubbing after they gave me 'the new look', and I actually had so much fun. But that's not the point.

After looking through some more windows I came to the last compartment. It was old and the door looked like it was jammed but I still looked in any ways. Sighing in relief that there was some one in there, which would mean that the door was working, so I opened the door easily and walked in. She didn't seem to notice that I was in here so I coughed. She looked up and smiled.

'Um… May I sit in here? All the other compartments are full." I said a little nervous. I don't know why but her aroura seemed different from the other witches and wizards. I had had this power for a while, I think since I got back from Hogwarts in my sixth year.

"Yes you can." She said still smiling. There was a silence for a few minutes before she spoke again. "I'm Crystallus Oculus, but my friends call me Crystal for short, my enemies call me Bitch, or Oculus but I really don't think you are one, Hermione Granger." She said smiling with a hint of a smirk hidden in there.

I stared at her wide-eyed. "H… How did you know my name?" I asked a tad bit scared.

"Oh I know a lot about you and your friends… No it is not from the Daily Prophet." She did her whole smile thing again.

"Uhhhh…. Okay then…. I'm not going to ask how, I don't think I want to know." I said as I sat down. She just shrugged and continued to look out the window. Sighing, I examined her. She had long chocolate brown hair that went mid back cause it was pulled up into a high ponytail, from what I saw earlier she had cinnamon brown eyes. She was wearing a tight black shirt with a pair of baggy black pants that had lots of pockets, those similar to a guy out fit. On her upper right arm I could see some thing shimmering in the light.

I looked towards the door and then sighed there they were staring in at me like I was some horrible thing that shouldn't be in this world. Draco Malfoy and his two, what should I call them, Lovers. He smirks and came in, but there was a new guy with him. This person was tall around 6'1 - 6'2. He had very dark blue hair, and he was almost wearing the same thing as Crystallus, Black baggy pants and a loose black shirt.

Crystallus looked up and then her eyes got big. "See you got a new friend Mudblood. What Potter and Weasley dumb you?" Malfoy commented after he saw Crystallus.

"No." I sneered standing up. "No but I see you've got a new lover, what did he come all the way from America just cause you haven't had 'Fun' with those two over there?" I said pointing at the two lumps, with my other hand placed on my hip.

I heard a growl come from behind me. Turning around I saw Crystallus standing in battle position, like she was going to fist fight or some thing, growling lowly under her breath. I followed her eyes to the new guy, he was looking at her with a smirk placed on his lips but you could also tell that he harbored the same feelings.

Before D-, ahem, Malfoy could answer Crystallus spoke.

"I see that you just had to follow me again, Incendia. What, couldn't stand being alone again so you had to follow me on my little mission? C'mon that is even kindda low for you. I mean since you are Earth's Fire you should have more friends than foes cause you can destroy their lives with a flick of the wrist but you seem not to be doing so well in that area, not even a mouse would be afraid of you." She sneered making fun of him. "Better yet why don't you just go back into your little tree and DIE! You would be doing us all a big favor." She said with some venom in her voice.

He just smirked and looked towards Malfoy. They both nodded at the same time and turned to the person that they were to 'fight'.

Third person's P.O.V. (A.N.:: Is that my point of view? xx I forgot!)

Draco had turned towards Hermione and the new person now known as Incendia turned towards Crystallus. Hermione's eyes got a little wider. Fighting on a train! Not now! She thought as she looked over to Crystallus and then to Incendia they were both glaring daggers at each other. She then looked to Draco making eye contact, he was smirking.

"What?!" Hermione suddenly said out loud a few minutes later breaking the silence between every one. Draco's smirk got even wider and then turned towards Incendia.

"You're right dear brother." Draco said as he looked towards Hermione.

"Of course I'm right Draco." He said not letting his glare die down that was directed at Crystallus. Hermione stood there slightly confused. She looked towards Crystallus then Incendia, then finally to Draco.

"Right about what, Malfoy?" Hermione said crossing her arms with her weight on one leg, glaring at him. All Malfoy did was smirk.

"Well young Granger you finally don't know some thing… I am so proud of you." He said sarcastically.

"Shut it Malfoy. Tell me." She said not looking anywhere but Draco's eyes.

It was the same with Crystallus and Incendia. Crystallus was looking him straight in the eyes trying to stare him down, daring him to move. Nothing happened and the whole time they stared at each other while Hermione and Draco where arguing about the smallest topic ever.

"You stupid prat. Why won't you tell me?! If it is about me then I have a right to know" Hermione said a little louder than before.

-Cackle crack pop.- some thing made a loud noise. "Ahhh" Hermione yelped a bit.

"Attention students we will be arriving at Hogsmead in five minutes…." The person said and then left…

Crystallus growled and then spoke. "Get out now!" Her eyes looked almost like a dark purple, her lips set in a straight line. Draco and Incendia looked at each other and once again nodded, leaving silently Hermione called to Draco.

"Coward" She then shut the door on him before he could respond.

A.N.:: Hey. So how was it? C' mon I know you can do it just move your curser down to the pretty little button and click. Its that easy… Any ways drop me a review if you liked it and even if you didn't please do… It helps a lot…
