Ch.2 "Surprise, Granger"
Hermione's POV
Underneath this smile,
my world is slowly caving in,
all the while i'm hanging,
instead of letting go,
could you be ,
the one to save me,
from every bad habit,
tell me,
take this,
i've been hiding out for miles,
underneath this smile
I walked onto platform nine and three quarters. As I entered the portal I was greeted by familiar faces and voices. Finally! I would be able to talk to Ginny. Then something hit me. I wouldn't, not right now anyway. I had to go to the heads compartment of the Hogwarts Express. I turned to Harry, Ron, and Ginny. "I'll see you guys at school. I have to go to the heads compartment." They nodded and I headed off to the school train.
The walk seemed to take forever. The train seemed so familiar. So many memories. Most of them sad. Finally I reached the compartment. Again, that weird feeling came flooding back to me as I reached for the handle. As my hand pulled the door open I discovered why I had been having all those feelings of dread.
"Surprise, Granger!" Those who know me best know me best know I have a tendancy to act first and ask questions later. I punched him so hard as soon as my fist left his face I saw it begin to bruise. "What did you do that for, Granger?"
"I did it because I can Malfoy!" Suddenly it all became clear. That whole feeling of dread thing. This was why. I didn't have to ask any questions. I knew why he was here. There was no other explination. I knew before, this last year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was going to test my patiece and my mental strength. Now, I understood that to be the biggest understatement of the century.
