Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy the story so far Review please!

Chapter 2

When Hermione arrived at King's Cross Station, she was really excited to see her friends again. All this time without seeing them this summer was too long. She said goodbye to her parents on the muggle side of the station and she then joined on her own the Platform 9¾. She was struggling with her luggage when a strident voice pronounced her name behind her. She turned back and saw the unforgettable devil face of Rita Skeeter. "Hermione Granger, one of the famous golden trio who saved on her first year at Hogwarts the entire wizarding world by stopping the resurrection of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named."

Hermione, Ron and Harry succeeded in fact, three years ago to keep the Philosopher's Stone away from Voldemort and his follower Professor Quirrell. Some stated that they saved all the wizarding world from another dark era. As a consequence, Hermione became with her two best friends the three most known teenagers in England, and the Daily Prophet was still regularly writing articles about the golden trio.

Even if the fame was nice, especially regarding the popularity they gain among the other Hogwarts students, Hermione learnt to be cautious around reporters. And especially one as vicious as Rita Skeeter who was ruthless and very keen to see a story where nothing was actually there. And that's typically how she once managed to convince everyone in 2nd year that Hermione and Harry were in love, causing her the trouble of being hated by every fan of the famous Harry Potter. And it was a large community that she apparently offended. Thank god, people forgot, water had flowed under the bridge since then, and she almost didn't receive hate letters anymore.

Having this whole debacle in mind, Hermione cautiously stated "Good morning Mrs. Skeeter, I must apologize, you see it's almost time for the train's departure and I must therefore get on board as soon as possible".

As she turned back her baggage cart, she collided with someone. This was the second time in two days and that was becoming really annoying. But this time she caught up her luggage before it could fall on the floor.

"Granger, this is the second time in 24 hours, should I start thinking you're doing it on purpose?" She cursed out loud. How could she be so unlucky? This was just terrible to see Draco Malfoy again after the shameful episode she had with him the day before. When her misfortune would finally stop?

"You don't seem to have recovered your tongue" the blond told her with the devil smirk on his face. She blushed once more, but not out of shame this time, but out of pure rage. How dared him? She looked him dead in the eyes and said to him with anger "You are not worth my time Malfoy, and I will not spend one more minute in your company, so now if you excuse me I must go and get on this fucking train".

She wanted to get the hell out of here, but the snake wasn't done with her apparently. He caught her arm and brought her closer to him. She froze. How was she supposed to react to his touch? In what kind of world could Draco fucking Malfoy touch her?

She stayed opened-mouth for a second looking at his hand around her arm, completely unbelieving. She came to her senses and commanded him "what the hell do you think you're doing? Let go of me!"

Draco answered annoyed "Oh get over yourself, I just have something for you" he was still holding her arm and she couldn't stop glaring at his hand on her. He used his other hand to take a little package out of his pocket and placed it delicately in her palm. She recognized immediately the little box; it was hers. "You dropped this yesterday and flee so fast that I couldn't give it back to you then. So, there it is, now you can go".

She looked up at him and as he stopped touching her, she seemed to recover her voice, "Hmm… Well, thank you".

This whole situation was so weird, she didn't know what to do nor say, so she just went on her way to the train. But before she could take more than three steps, the ferret told her with a mocking tone, "If I might say so, I am not sure this type of pajamas, if I can call them like that, are well suited for the Scottish weather".

It took Hermione one second to understand what he meant by that. When she finally did remember that her package contained a black lace nightgown more or less sexy (that she planned to wear part of a costume for halloween), she turned back and glared at him with rage and anger, "How dare you ferret?". She was fuming mad and she wanted desperately to throw things at him, like any deadly jinx or very heavy objects. Malfoy probably felt her growing fury, because this time he was the one to flee. He ran away as Hermione continued to mutter insults that involved things like ferrets, snakes and blond's assholes.

This time she really managed to get on the train without any interruption and started angrily to search for her friends' compartment.

….

When Hermione finally sat down next to Ginny, she realized that she was still very angry. So very angry that she forgot all about her plan of seduction, that involved looking cute in front of a certain redhead boy. Instead, all she did was pouting and insulting Draco Malfoy.

"What did the ferret do again Mione?" asked Ron and Harry simultaneously.

"Nothing important, don't worry" answered Hermione trying to calm herself. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so rude, I didn't even say hello and I missed you so much guys". They all got up and hugs started to be given to one another.

The conversation continued naturally on the summer holidays and what they all have been doing. Ginny told Hermione about the twin's terrible joke. And Hermione couldn't stop herself from laughing. The ride went really well, and Hermione was glad to see her friends again and she got really excited about her 4th year. Yes, this year was going to be amazing, she thought.

When the time came, they had to put their school uniform on and take their wand out.

"Hermione by the way what is this new look about?" asked a puzzled Ron.

Hermione blushed. What was this question, what could she answer to that? She couldn't tell him that it was all part of a seduction plan. "I don't know Ron; this is my new style now. I thought you would have like it." This time it was Ron's turn to blush.

He looked down and stayed silent. She was proud of her, she finally started to execute her plan.

"I have to say that I love it Hermione! I'm so glad you finally got control over your hair too!" said enthusiastically Ginny.

"Yes, you are really pretty Hermione" added Harry with a kind smile.

Hermione smiled to them but couldn't stop herself from noticing Ginny's wince when Harry complimented her. This was certainly interesting, and she would have to talk with her friend about what exactly happened this summer between the both of them.

"Also, who do you think will be professor against the Dark Arts this year? Did Snape finally manage to have it?" asked Hermione wanting to change the subject.

"I don't know much about that, but I heard that it is a woman this year" said Ron.

"This is great!" answered Ginny.

"Yes, that would be really inspiring! I hope she will be a good professor" added Hermione. "I already read most of the program and it's going to be an interesting year".

"God Hermione, you're freaking me out, why on earth did you already read the program? What is the purpose if you arrive in class with all the answers already?".

"Ron, I don't recall you being so scared when all my good answers got us points for Gryffindor in the past" answered Hermione rolling her eyes. That got some laughs from Harry and Ginny, and a once more blushing Ron. Hermione smiled to herself. Yes, this was going to be a very nice year.

They continued discussing about everything and nothing until the train arrived at Hogsmeade Station in the early evening.
