Chapter Ten: A New Mystery

"What do you mean 'What did I do!'" yelled Hermione in tears. Everyone saw this and opened their mouth to hurl a curse towards Harry.

"Wait, let me explain!" Harry screamed raising up his hands, backing up against the compartment door.

"There isn't anything to explain Potter, you were about to attack my wife!" Draco sneered at him. Harry looked lost for a minute.

"Wife! Hold up! I just came to in the bloody loo! Somebody stunned me, and there I was on floor or that filthy bathroom for an hour. Then some took some of hair and overall, I have had a very bad day." Harry finished breathing hard, he looked around at everyone.

"Okay, hes lying lets hex him." Ron said raising his up his wand.

"Hes telling the truth.." Draco said lowering his wand, then putting his arm around Hermione's waist, gently navigating her to a seat.

"How can you be so sure?" Ron said narrowing his eyes in a very hateful glare towards Harry.

"Sixth sense you can say. I could always tell when someone is lying. It comes in handy more often than not." Draco drawled. Ron put his wand away but still looked wearily at Harry. Ginny on the other hand didn't need anymore reassurance, she had the itching desire to say 'I told you so'. But she decided against it, there was already enough tension in the room. So she slipped her wand back into her pocket taking a seat.

"Why are you guys so mad at me anyway? I mean I come back to the compartment and get attacked." asked a very confused Harry, hesitating on taking a seat next to Ron, who was still giving him a dirty look. Hermione started to explained what had happen. Then after that she started to explain the marriage to Draco to Harry. When all was said and done she was kinda whipped out. She laid her head on Draco's shoulder and closed her eyes.

"So how was your summer?" Hermione asked Harry with her eyes still closed.

"Better than usual, The Dursley's don't mess with me now that I am of age. Think I'm going to turn them into slugs or something. Quite amusing." Harry said with a grin. Things started to loosen up after that. They settled into a nice conversation. Only getting interrupted when Neville entered the compartment asking for his toad, Trevor. Which they all replied in unison "NO!" He thanked them and headed back out the compartments. No one noticing the evil glare he shot towards Hermione and Draco.

( -- ) Great Hall ( -- )

"Oy! He doesn't look like a first year to me!" Ron whispered to Hermione pointing to a very handsome dark brown hair, and ocean blue eyes.

"Didn't you ever stop to think, that he changed from another wizarding school?" Ginny said bluntly.

"Shut up Virginia, I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Hermione." Ron replied hotly.

"Didn't you ever stop to think, that he changed from another wizarding school?" Hermione said repeating the same question the Ginny asked. Ron glared at her and turned to say the same thing to Harry, who they guess gave him a answer he wanted to hear.

"He's quite handsome. Don't you think Hermione?" Ginny whispered eying the latest addition to Hogwarts' male students appreciately.

"Yeah, Hes like the dark silent type.. But I've always had a thing for blondes with silver eyes." She said slyly.

"Yeah, he doesn't have a thing on Draco." Ginny said with a dreamy expression on her face.

"Hes mine Gin.." Hermione said jokingly. Her glaze shifted from the new 'first' year to her husband. Whom just looked up to meet her stare and smirked. She smiled at him and winked. She let out a giggle when he raised an blonde eyebrow. 'He's so cute... Come on girl, this is Malfoy. Yeah but he is my Malfoy.' she thought and smirked.

"Jeremy Jackson... cute name.. I'm going to call him Jay Jay." Ginny voice brought Hermione from her staring contest with Draco.

"Who?" asked Hermione confused.

"The handsome dude. Hes in your year, Hes about to be sorted." Ginny said pointing to him. Jeremy was walking to the stool, he had a cocky aura around him. He sat down and looked around the Great Hall. His eyes landed on Hermione. He smiled and winked at her.

"Did you see that 'Mione? He just winked at you!" Ginny squealed. Hermione ignored her and sent a glare towards him. He just smiled and kissed towards her. She scowled and looked away from him. "Hes a prat.. I can already tell."

"Gryffindor!" The hat shouted.

"He can't be all that bad. Hes in our house." Harry said cutting in their conversation. Jeremy walked straight to the vacant seat next to Hermione, not once taking his eyes off of her.

" Jeremy Jackson... and you are?" He asked in a smooth voice holding out his hand to her.

"Hermione Malfoy." She replied shaking his hand then dropping it as if it burned her. But played it off with a big fake smile. There was something about this guy that she did not like at all. She played with the ring on her finger, hoping he will notice it and take a hint. But he didn't.

"Thats a beautiful name. So..." He started but he was cut off by Dumbledore's yearly speech. Which consisted of the same stuff. The rules and that the forbidden forest is of course forbidden. He also annouced some upcoming events that would be also happening that year. It came time to say who made Head Boy and Girl that year.

"As for Head Boy and Girl... Hermione Malfoy and Draco Malfoy." Concluded Dumbledore. The Great Hall filled with applause. But you could hear mumbles about why Hermione's last name is Malfoy. The claps came to a stop once the food appear on the platters in front of them.

"So that Draco guy is your cousin?" Jeremy asked ignoring Ron and Harry's snickers.

"No Jeremy, Draco is my husband." said Hermione as if she was discussing the weather. She raised up her hand showing him her ring, throwing a glance at Draco who was at the next table over laughing. Jeremy on the other hand was looking chestfallen and spiteful at the sametime. Dumbledore stood up once again and raised his hand to silence the Great Hall.

"I forgot to mention that Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger have gotten married over the summer holiday." He said smiling with that twinkle in his eye. He sat back down and struck up a conversation with Lupin, he was returning to be the DADA teacher.

(-- Draco -- )

Draco scowled when he saw Jeremy eying his wife. He had to restrain himself during the whole sorting ceremony. He saw when he winked at her, throwing her a smile that held promise. He quickly looked over to Hermione who was glaring at the guy. But Jeremy didn't seem to want to take the message. When he walked straight to the seat next to her he gripped his wand. He never thought he would be this jealous.

He could barely make out their conversation, but he could tell from his body language and the look on Jeremy that he was flirting. That he was flirting hard. He saw Hermione playing with her ring in a obvious manner, but the guy was so dense he didn't catch the hint.

Dumbledore was doing his speech like he does every year. Draco just listened with a half an ear to what was being said. He continued to watch Jeremy and Hermione. 'This guy doesn't know what hes up against...' he thought, Finally he got fed up and Charmed Hermione's ring so he could what being said by holding his close to his ear. He raised up his hand to act as if he were just bored and holding his head, when he heard Dumbledore say his name. He stood up and did a little wave around. Then he brought his hand up close to his ear.

"So that Draco guy is your cousin?"

'No you stupid git... I'm her husband.'

"No Jeremy, Draco is my husband." The look on the Jeremy's face was enough to satisfy Draco for the time being. He promise him and Jeremy would have a run in. Now he had more important things to think about. Like who stunned Harry and made a Polyjuice Potion, then took it. He sighed and picked up his fork. 'This is going to be an interesting year... I can see it already.'
