Riding to school

It took me so long to write this chapter because it kept closing without letting me save! I think this is my third time!
OMG!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything but my plot.

It was the day the trio would be going back to school, September 1st, and they were all excited about it. Well Hermione wasn't as excited as normal because she had to have Malfoy be the head Boy alongside her. But to cheer herself up she thought of the fact that Malfoy would be even unhappier than she was. To her he was a spoiled prat, but to Malfoy Hermione was a filthy mud blood who didn't disserve to go to the school. But he must have known that she was going to be head girl, after all she was the smartest girl of her age. She was also sad that this would be the last year she would ever be going back to Hogwarts as a student. She had always loved the look of her perfectly done homework that she knew would always get an A. It wasn't that she was a geek or anything it was just that she was more of a perfectionist type of person. Although Ron was very happy that this was the last year of school, he had always hated classes, and teachers, and homework. Harry was on both sides, he was glad that there would be no more homework. But he knew he would miss Hagrid, and all his friends that he would probably drift away from.

It was about 30 minutes into the ride to Hogwarts, were the three of them had been discussing in Hermione's point of view very dull topics, such as Quittich. Well really she had been in deep inside a book she had loved for a long period of time. She had already read it before. 3 times in fact. But she always found it interesting to read it again. But her peaceful reading had been interrupted by the opening of the door, but before any of the three could see who it was a cold voice came out from the hallway,
"Well if it isn't Mudblood, Weasel and Potty."

When Harry realized who is has he answered "What do you was Ferret"
This made Hermione giggle, and Ron laugh which made Droco's face turn a shade of bright pink, a great comparison to his pale skin.

"Well for your information Pothead, I'm here to fetch the mudblood." He answered back coldly.

"Why?" Hermione Questioned.

"Professor McGonogoll wants to talk to us, why else would I be talking to an undeserving muggle lover like yourself?" He said with a snicker.

This made Harry very mad he got up to confront Malfoy, but Hermione just pushed him back down into his seat. And gave him a look that said, don't worry I'll be fine.

Draco walked out of the compartment and Hermione followed giving Harry and Ron a final good-bye wave, seeing as she knew she probably wouldn't be seeing them for the remainder of the ride to Hogwarts. As they walked down the hallway of the train Hermione tried to think of something to say to him to break the silence. Finally she blurted out "We should at least try to be nice to one another this year, we are going to be spending a lot of time together, after all." Not thinking that she was talking to Malfoy, who had hated her since the day they met. "Why should I be nice to you?"

"Because…. It will make this year a lot easier."

"Well I'll 'try' to be nice to you if you stay out of my way." He said.

"What ever you say, you great prat."

Malfoy stopped and turned around, "what did you call me?"

"I called you a Great prat, now keep walking" Hermione said with a stern face and pushed him to keep walking.

When the got to the front of the train Draco entered a compartment and Hermione followed, but when she got in Draco turned around and said "Who invited you in?" and pushed her out. Hermione fell stumbling to the ground, got up and brushed herself off. She waited about 5 minutes outside the compartment tapping her foot. Finally Malfoy came out, walked in front f her and muttered "Come on."

They walked to the very front of the compartment, until Malfoy walked into get again another compartment. Hermione was hesitant about entering because she had been pushed out of the last one she had entered. So she went up to the door knocked and called "Am I allowed to come in?"

"Well of course miss Granger," said the voice on professor McGonogall.

Hermione entered the compartment feeling a little stupid and embarrassed, she looked at Malfoy who was smirking at her, because he knew she knocked because she was afraid he was going to push her again.

"Well, know that we are all her," She said looking at Hermione, make her blush "I would like to congratulate you on becoming the new heads"
"Also, Your I would like you 2 to patrol the hallways of the hall once before returning to your compartments." She took a deep breath and continued "Also when we get to the school and after we have our feast, I would like you to go up to the Head dormitory you will be sharing and--"

"What do you mean we have to 'share' a dorm? Draco asked.

"You 2 will be sharing the Head dorm, the dorm that all Head boy and girls share. The entrance is, as I was about to say, in the north tower over looking the entire school. You will find a portrait of a beautiful young women." She finished.

Both looking sad at the thought of sharing a dorm said good-bye and left the compartment. As soon as Malfoy had closed the door Hermione turned to him and said "Don't talk to me, and I won't talk to you."

With that she turned and walked away down the hall. As she was walking she heard a large amount of noise coming from inside one of the compartments. So she opened the door to see as she guessed 2 1st year students fighting on the ground, she was shocked, but finally pulled out her wand pointed in directly at the 2 boys and said a spell the made them stop hitting each other immediately and roll over laughing.

She had put a tickling spell on them, which made them cry out "STOP! MAKE IT STOP! PLEASE!"

Hermione calmly said "Do you promise to stop fighting?"

"YES!" They say in unison.

Hermione pointed her wand at the two laughing boys and said a counter spell that let them relax and stop laughing.

As the 2 boys got up she looked at them sternly, the first boy that she had a bid black eye and scrapes all over his face. While the second boy had a bloody nose, a bid purple bruise right below his cheek bone and scrapes on his arms and legs.

"You know it's one thing to be fighting at Hogwarts but the be fighting when you haven't even gotten there is just pitiful." She said to the young students.

"But it's not my fault, he came in here and started insulting me for being muggle born."

This mad Hermione have a lot of sympathy toward the boy, for she knew what it was like from Malfoy to be made fun of for being muggle born, Although she had never fought him about it. "What's your name?" She asked the boy.

"Jeremy." He answered shyly.

"Well Jeremy, although you shouldn't get into fights about it, I'm muggle born too and understand why your mad." She said. She then turned to the other boy and asked again "What is your name?" With no trace of sympathy for him in her voice at all.

"Jeremy." He answered.

"Wait your both named Jeremy?"

"Yeah so what?" Said the second boy.

"Nothing, but you see, you already share something in common with each other, who knows what else you share." (I know so cliché)

She then walked out of the compartment and started to walk down the hallway when she heard a voice say "What do you know, you filthy mudblood?" It had been the second Jeremy. She turned around, very angry and said, "well it might help that I'm the Head girl" The boy realizing what she was turned and ran. She was about to go and catch him and make him apologize when the first Jeremy came out and said "Thank you." He then hugged her and returned to his compartment.

Feeling all warm inside that she had saved the little boy from being further hurt she opened the door and said "Make sure you have one of the prefect show you were the nurse is so she can heal your bruises after the feast. And your welcome" She then turned and went back to her compartment to tell Harry and Ron what had happened with Malfoy and the 2 Jeremy's.
