a/n: I am starting my 2nd fanfiction ever! This is not a sequel, but there might be one to this if I get enough participation from you guys! Be sure to check out my other story- The InterHouse Heads!
Draco, the pureblood brat, was in a muggle car on his way to Texas. I know, who would have ever thought Draco Malfoy would fly to America, then drive to Texas with the Grangers? Let's just say he didn't do it voluntarily.
Draco had to go to Texas. He was not safe in England. No wizard, warlock, witch, or muggle was safe in England. Every student from Hogwarts was transferred to the new location of Hogwarts, which happened to be Texas. His parents had stayed behind to support Voldemort and they didn't want their baby boy there with them.
See, after one of Voldemort's Death Eaters killed Albus Dumbledore, the only one Voldemort ever feared, no one felt safe. It was the Hogwarts Staff that decided to move Hogwarts to America in order to be a little safer. Of course, it could never be as safe as it was when Dumbledore was Headmaster. Professor McGonagall simply couldn't perform the safety spells that Dumbledore had used.
Anyway, Draco was going to live in a Muggle community. There were just no Wizarding communities in Texas yet. New Jersey was the capital for witchcraft and wizardry in the United States. He was going to have to learn to live like a muggle. Professor McGonagall chose each student whose family was staying behind to have a home with another student. With Draco's luck he got stuck with a Gryffindor. He must have had really bad luck because he didn't just get stuck with any Gryffindor, he got stuck with Hermione Granger and her parents.
So far, Hermione had been pretty nice to him. He figured that was only because her parents had been with them the whole trip. He knew that she wouldn't be nice to him voluntarily. She visibly hated him, and for some good reasons too.
Hermione was in her rented car with Draco Malfoy. How unlikely was it that, of all people, McGonagall stuck her with Malfoy? Hermione thought she did it on purpose so that Draco and Hermione could at least learn not to kill eachother just on sight.
She had been fairly nice to Malfoy, but she had to be didn't she? Her parents were right next to her! She didn't want her parents to think she was a rude and improper host to a fellow student! She wished she could punch him right there and right then.Her family was taking the extra effort to take him in, and all he could do was sit there wand watch them do everything?
The whole moving-location-of-the-school routine made sense to Hermione, but she didn't know it would mean trying to make an alliance between her and her worst enemy.
