The next morning was a hectic one. Why the boys waited so long to do they're packing was beyond me. I opened my lap top surprised to see a response.
Bookworm-
You can always talk
to me always… Anytime!
I'll be here when you need me. I don't
have
Very many dependable friends. They all treat
Me… it's hard to explain… They just wouldn't
Understand. But that's how life is sometimes.
I think I'm falling in love with you… I know we
Don't even know each others names. But that's
Besides the fact. You know me better than anyone.
That's gotta stand for something right?
Have a safe trip home.

Prince
My heart was filled with butterflies. I felt so happy and confused at the same time.
Quickly I typed my response…
Dear Prince-
I won't have my lap top set up tonight. SO
I wanted to reply before we leave for Kings
Crossing. I think I love you too…
Sometimes I think it would be easier in the
Middle. You know being a half blood. There
Wouldn't be as much pressure. We've both
Got the extreme pressure. You have a safe
Trip as well…

Happily I filed my way with my trunk to Arthur's station wagon. All the clamor of Ron, Harry, and Ginny didn't bother me. I sat there smiling softly. Letting my thoughts wander. Somewhere at that exact moment someone was thinking of me as well..
"Mione, you ok? Come on, we're here!" Ginny exclaimed nudging me. I came out of my trace and looked. The boys already had there trolleys! I got out of the car. "Sorry." I mumbled. We grabbed our trolleys and giggled. We made our way to platform 9 ¾ and pushed our way through.
There in front of us with it's red and gold was the Hogwarts Express.
Students were everywhere. There were cliques of them just standing around talking. I glanced at the clock. "We're early this year, lets go find a compartment." I said to Ginny. She nodded following me onto the not so crowded train. Towards the front we found Harry, Ron, and to my dismay… Lavender Brown.
Ginny and I put our things in the over head compartment and took our seats. "Ronnie, I'm going to get us some sweets." She told him in a sickly sweet voice. I hoisted my eye brows not impressed by this. But who was I to tell Ron who to date? As long as he was happy. I turned to Ginny, who was immersed in a conversation with Harry.
'Great now I'm being ignored.' I thought grumpily. Then to my horror Malfoy walked in. "Who gave you permission to be so close to my compartment?" he sneered. I rolled my eyes, "I didn't think we need your permission at all." I stated matter-of-factually. His lip curled as his cold gray eyes glared at me. "Who asked you, you filthy little mud blood." He spat the word like poison. I winced painfully. "You aren't any better than me you horrible ferret." I shrieked. I huffed, loathing this man more and more. His cheeks burned red, "You'll regret that." he grumbled before storming off..
I looked around the room noting not one other person heard his threat. Grumpily I sat there. I hate Malfoy. I didn't think I could hate anyone more.
Upon arrival at Hogwarts I made my way to a small carriage. I didn't feel like sitting with my friends. Not like they would talk to me anyways. They had their significant others.
I entered the Great Hall and took my seat. We got 12 new Gryffindor's. I remembered when I had been that shy and meek.
"Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy, would you please come up here." Dumbledore called. I opened my mouth and quickly made my way before him.
"You two are the two Head of House's this year. You will be living in those respectable head quarters. You can always enter your old common rooms, but at respectable hours. I expect you two to get along as well." He smiled his eyes twinkling.
'Great not only am I cut off from my friends but I have to live with Malfoy.' I grumbled to myself. Things couldn't get worse…
After the feast I approached our head master again. "Professor, what's the password?" I asked him. "Ginger Snaps" He replied.
I walked along the now empty corridor to the painting of a young blond girl. Draco stood there, seeming extremely impatient. The girl seemed to be taunting him. "Ginger Snaps." I told her wearily. She frowned and swung forward. I started past Draco and up the right side of stair ways. There was a painting on my door. "Name please." it asked. "Hermione Granger." "Please set password." I smiled, "Prince"
I entered my new bed room ecstatic. They had my lap top all set up… Maybe things wouldn't be so bad anyways…
(A/Ns I don't condone people meeting anyone online. This is just a plot I thought of. How do you like it so far? I have to go to work… R&R please!)
