Chapter 7
Hogwarts
Hermione woke up refreshed and excited. She took a bath and got ready for the exciting day ahead. Naquin came into her room at ten with her trunk and clothes.
"Here's your stuff. What you need is all in this trunk. Why you'll need all this stuff I guess I'll learn later," Naquin smiled.
"Thank you. I can't wait to go," Hermione said excitedly. Her smile went away quickly when she remembered that she had no friends at school anymore.
"What's wrong Hermione?" Naquin said, worried.
"I just remembered that Harry and Ron are not my friends anymore. We stopped talking last year," Hermione said sadly.
"You don't have anyone else?"
"No."
"Well, luckily I'll be going," Naquin smiled.
"Oh, Naquin! What would I do without you?"
"Well, nothing apparently," Naquin laughed.
They grabbed all of their things and left the castle. They went through the village and saw the many children playing once more.
"I'm gonna miss it here," Hermione told Naquin sadly.
"I missed it for 200 years. I'll miss it again this year," Naquin said.
"It's just so beautiful. I've never seen anything like it, though," Hermione said.
"Yes. Exotic hidden places can be like that," Naquin said sarcastically with a smile on her face.
"Oh, do shut up!" Hermione laughed.
They apparated to a secluded area two blocks away from the train station. When Hermione tried to explain the whole brick wall barrier, Naquin was completely confused.
"Just hold onto me and run if you want, towards that wall."
Naquin was skeptical but she did it. On the other side her eyes were round and her lips were very thin.
"Come on, we have to find an empty compartment before they are all occupied," Hermione said, laughing at Naquin who was still quiet.
They found and empty compartment near the back of the train. Naquin sat down, still quiet.
"Ok Naquin, are you ok? I've never seen you this quiet before," Hermione said, worried.
"I'm fine. I just realized I'd be seeing more magic than i want to at this school," Naquin said, nervous.
"Yes, that's true. Oh! I just remembered that I didn't say goodbye to mom and dad!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Visit them the way you did at Dumbledore's," Naquin said, simply.
"I'll be back in a few minutes," Hermione said quickly. She left in a ball of flames.
Naquin closed the compartment door and sat there quietly for a few minutes. Just then a knock sounded on the door. A boy with pale skin and near white, blonde hair.
"Who are you? Is this compartment full? There's nowhere else," he said.
"You can sit here. My friend will be back in a couple of seconds so close that door," Naquin said quickly.
'This boy looks just like...No, it's not a coincidence,' Naquin thought.
"WHAT THE HELL!" The boy screamed.
Naquin looked up to see Hermione appearing out of flames. She looked upset.
"What's the matter?" Naquin said, ignoring the boy.
"Mum's worried about me. She didn't want me to come here," Hermione said, sadly.
"How in the BLOODY HELL did you do that?" The boy said amazed.
"Draco Malfoy? What the hell are you doing in here?" Hermione's sadness turned to rage.
"How do you know me when I dont know you?" Draco asked.
"Oh! For once you don't call me Mudblood!" Hermione's rage was overwhelming. Everyone in the compartment could feel the heat radiating off her body.
"Hermione? You've changed a lot," Draco said.
Hermione was shocked when he said her name.
"Why are you here Draco?" Hermione said, all of a sudden tired.
"I lost all of my friends during the summer, so I dont have anywhere to sit," he said sadly.
"I'll make you a deal. Stop calling me Mudblood and I'll let you sit here," Hermione said.
"Ok. But there's no point in me calling you mudblood anymore is there?" Draco said, amused.
"Huh?" Hermione was confused.
"Your eyes, your skin, and your hair tells it all. Although the whole fire thing I dont know where that came from," Draco said.
"Oh. Well dont tell anyone, please!" Hermione pleaded.
"I have no one to tell."
"Me either, except for Naquin here."
"Naquin?"
"That's me," Naquin smiled.
"I'm Draco Malfoy. I prefer Draco, whilst Hermione prefers Malfoy," Draco introduced himself formally, adding a smirk as he saw the tired scowl on Hermione's face.
"So, why aren't you off with Potter and Weasley? I'd thought you'd be off with them?" Draco asked.
"They're not my friends anymore. Apparently, since I'm female, I'm fit to stay at school with my head in a book. Meanwhile, the boys get to go after Voldemort himself," Hermione said with malice. She was hurt still, she didn't care if Malfoy saw it, but Naquin cared.
"Alright! Let's get ready for Hogwarts, shall we? Touchy subject, crispy blondes!" Naquin warned.
Draco turned around and conjured up a curtain to hide his side of the compartment. Hermione conjured up two, one for her and one for Naquin.
For the rest of the ride, Draco, Hermione and Naquin slept.
