A/A/N: There is some coarse language in this chapter. But it's kind of harsh so yeah. . .

*~+~* (*~+~* is kindly taken from another story)

Hermione stepped onto the platform, looking dazzling in her brown, leather mini skirt (it was slightly longer than a true mini skirt) and her light brown tank top, that hugged every part of her upper body.

The Gryffindor 6th years were staring at Hermione in delight. Especially Parvati and Lavender who ran over to Hermione.

" 'Mione!" squealed Lavender ecstatically.

"YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!" Parvati said, her jaw was dropped in surprise.

Heading towards the Hogwarts Express, she went to find Harry and Ron who had gone ahead of her. She flicked her wand and sent her trunk (it was matching her ensemble because Hermione charmed it to be like that) off to the luggage compartment.

She went down to the end of the carriage and there stood in front of her, was Draco and his cronies, standing in her way.

Draco had changed over the summer as well. He had trained very hard and had built his muscles up, and it wasn't very clear through his loose t-shirt (it was black) and loose pants, but Hermione could see he had been working out. His blond hair had darkened slightly in colour and his stormy grey eyes had a slight of blue in them.

Hermione's heart fluttered for two seconds before she mentally threw that thought out of head.

"Granger! How nice to see you. Great to hear that you're no longer a mudblood. Just adopted crap." Draco sneered.

No matter what, he had to keep up his mean demeanor around this girl otherwise the plan would backfire.

Hermione smiled sweetly, which confused Goyle and Crabbe, however Draco held his ground.

"Hello Draco." Hermione purred.

Draco smiled wickedly. "Nice to see you know your manners still, after what you're wearing."

Hermione merely smiled again and pushed past Draco to find Harry and Ron who were waiting for her at the back of the train.

Draco watched through narrowed eyes as Hermione walked off jauntily, her body seductive.

Shaking his head, Draco headed off to find a Pansy-free compartment.

*~+~*

"Hermione!" Harry cried as Hermione stepped through the door.

"We thought we lost you!" Ron said, grinning.

Hermione sat down next to Ginny who was sitting there as well.

"Hey Gin!" Hermione said as she turned to talk to the red-head who was hiding behind Witch Weekly.

"Hi 'Mione. Hey look at this 'Mione. They've got an article on your parents and the murder!" Ginny said, her eyes wide in amazement.

Hermione quickly grabbed the magazine and started to read. She half-way through the article (it was about 10 pages long because it was the most recent muggle killing and the only one in about a month) when Draco stepped through.

"Oh look! It's Potty and Weasel and Weasel's sister! Oh, I see that the only true pureblood here besides myself is Granger. How nice! She isn't talking to me. Not like I care. She's always a mudblood to me." Draco smirked.

Ron stood up, ready to punch the daylights out of Malfoy, when Harry and Ginny stood up and held him by the collar.

Hermione kept reading, completely ignoring everyone in the whole compartment. Finally, she set the magazine down and observed the scene before her.

"Draco, why don't I talk to you outside?" Hermione looked reassuringly at Harry and Ron and Ginny and stepped outside, closing the door behind her, leaving Crabbe and Goyle in the compartment.

"Draco why don't you leave us alone this trip?" Hermione said seductively.

Draco smirked and whispered in Hermione's ear, "Sure thing, but you owe me one."

Hermione smiled sweetly and answered, "Thank you." She turned abruptly and entered the compartment, shooing Crabbe and Goyle out as she went in.

Draco smirked again and headed off to his compartment. Score! He now had Grange- no Avery in debt. Excellent!

*~+~*

Hermione sighed, why did she have to resort to flirting? She sat back down and picked up Witch Weekly again.

Harry was curious as to how Hermione managed to shoo Draco off when he had been bothering them 5 years straight.

"Um. . . Hermione how did you get Malfoy to like. . . get lost?" he asked attentively.

Hermione grinned mischievously. "Well, I kind of flirted with him and he left!"

Ron gaped and his expression of surprise quickly turned to anger.

"HERMIONE! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? THIS IS MALFOY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT! WE DON'T FLIRT WITH MALFOY'S! WE HATE THEM. THAT'S WHAT MALFOY'S ARE FOR!" Ron fumed as he ranted on. "YOU DON'T JUST GO AROUND BATTING YOUR EYELASHES AT THEM SO THEY'LL GO AWAY! IT'S NOT RIGHT! I DON'T WANT YOU GOING OFF AND FLIRTING WITH HIM ANYMORE! DO YOU HEAR?"

Hermione glared at Ron so viciously, he stepped back in shock. "Don't you ever accuse me of that again!" she hissed.

"I'm through with you Ronald Weasley! I've had enough of your stupid, protective ranting. Ginny is seeing someone, and do you know why you don't know? Because she's afraid of you Ron! She's afraid of her own brother! Is that something to be proud of Ron? Making your own sister so afraid of you that she doesn't tell you what she does is nothing to be proud of. Ron you make me sick sometimes and I put up with it, but now I've had enough!" Hermione said ferociously before stalking off and out of the compartment.

Ginny followed suit and headed out after Hermione, leaving Harry and Ron gaping.

*~+~*

Hermione was furious. Ginny didn't mind, because what Hermione had said was completely true and she liked Hermione for her honesty, so she followed her around the train.

Hermione decided that she was going to side with Draco. Now she knew why Mal- no Draco hated Harry and Ron so much.

Hermione was still fuming, and she needed someone who agreed with her to shout at.

Heading down the train, she finally found the compartment Draco was in. He was by himself and staring out the window, but as soon as Hermione walked in, he snapped to attention.

Draco smirked. He knew that Hermione was going to find him sooner or later during the train ride, so he had purposely sat in an empty compartment.

"Draco! Now I know why you hate those two-faced bastards! Ron is so fucking protective of everyone. It's like he owns you or something, and it is so fucking annoying! Ginny, sit down! (Ginny obeyed and sat down next to Hermione who was still ranting) He thinks that you're his plaything or something! God! You know, I flirted with you to get you to leave, but they took it the wrong way and Ron started to lecture me on what to do! He's so fucking annoying! Right? Right Ginny? He scares Ginny, his own sister!"

Ginny nodded nervously, but nodded all the same. Hermione crossed her arms and waited for Draco to comment.

Draco chuckled quietly and looked at the two girls in front of him.

"Well, I'd say that is an understatement Grange- no Avery." Draco said, emphasizing Avery.

Hermione blinked and didn't react, but Ginny nearly hit the roof.

"What? She's an Avery! Wowa! When did you find that out! Oh my god! I'm in a compartment with two death eater children! Help!" Ginny squealed before running out.

Hermione smirked, imitating Draco perfectly. "Well, I guess no one told her." Hermione moved to sit next to Draco.

He made room for her and answered. "Well, I guess I can't call you mudblood anymore so what should I call you? Hermione, Avery, or 'Mione?" Draco smirked again.

Hermione sat for a moment. "Well, since I'm going to be spending more time with you than the jerks, I suppose you can call me 'Mione."

"Ok then. Well, I have to go annoy Potty and Weasel. I suppose you won't object?" Draco asked, his eyes glittering maliciously. Hermione shook her head. "Well perhaps you want to join me?"

Hermione smiled wickedly. "Why of course Draco! What a wonderful idea!"

Draco offered his arm to Hermione, and she took it, and they went off to get Crabbe and Goyle.

*~+~*

Ginny burst through the compartment door and sat down opposite Ron.

"Why didn't anyone tell me that Hermione was the daughter of death eaters!?" Ginny wailed.

Harry went and sat next to Ginny and put an arm on Ginny's shoulder, who was sobbing uncontrollably.

She cried into Harry's shirt and sat on his lap, her arms around his neck.

Harry soothed Ginny before turning to Ron defiantly. "Ron, Ginny's been seeing me, although I don't know why you didn't see it before." Harry smirked. "I suppose Ginny was very secretive about it."

Ron was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth two or three times before deciding to keep it closed.

Ginny's crying subsided and she dried her tears and in a few moments she was looking perfectly composed.

"So, who wants some food? I'll go get some stuff off the food trolley. It's passed already but I can go get some more." Ginny smiled.

Ron was relieved. "Oh, nah. We don't need any more food. After all, Harry bought all this stuff." Ron held up a paper bag, filled to the brim with lollies.

Ginny grinned. "Pass it over here!" Ginny quickly grabbed the bag and pulled out Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans.

She shoved a few in her mouth and just as she did the compartment door slid open.

"Oh don't eat too many Weasel. You might get fat. Then Potty won't snog you in the Astronomy Tower at night!" Draco smirked.

Ginny blushed uncontrollably. Ron gaped and Harry stared. There, standing behind Draco was his cronies, and. . . Hermione.

"What Harry? Surprised to see me? I came here to join you and I bumped into Draco and his cronies. I thought he was heading here, so I followed. Draco, please let me through!" Hermione hissed.

Draco let Hermione through, dislike written across every feature of his face, although inside, he was smirking at Potty and Weasel. Hermione and himself had formulated a plan, and she was to rejoin the Trio.

"PHEW! Hermione, I thought for a moment there. . ." Harry began, but Hermione interrupted him with a wave of her hand.

"I know what it looked like. Now, MALFOY! GET LOST!" she whispered, which was worse than her shouting.

Draco backed out, smirking.

Hermione slammed the door shut and sat back down. Smiling she turned to everyone. "Now, where were we?"

*~+~*

K, till next time!
