Chapter 2: Cheers

Several minutes later (after speaking with her friends for a few more minutes), Hermione stepped into her compartment on the Hogwarts Express. Apparently, the Head Boy and Head Girl got their own compartment, which was nice, since they had worked hard to achieve those titles.

Then, something dawned on her, and she screamed, "Malfoy?! What are you doing in the Heads' Compartment?! Do you exist solely to piss me off?!"

Draco made his famous face and sneered. "Well, what do you know, Granger doesn't know everything! Apparently she didn't know that I was Head Boy. Yeah, it's true. I'm Head Boy. So you can stop gaping at me and get out."

Hermione was fuming, but she sat down on one of the cushion things in the compartment anyway. "Malfoy, you are a prick! And I will not get out! I worked just a hard – no! I worked harder than you to get this position. You do not deserve it. You are a…a stupid arrogant bastard who does not deserve to even be alive!"

"Geez, Granger, what's stuck up your ass? Or are you just PMSing? Huh?" Draco said that last part with just a tiny trace of a smirk.

That was it. Hermione had had enough. "Malfoy! You have two options: You can either get out of this compartment right now, or you can stay here and just not talk to me or even look at me for the rest of the train ride."

Draco did a mock impression of someone thinking very deeply. "I'm sorry, mudblood, but I juts can't oblige to either of those suggestions. I guess you're stick with me, but that doesn't mean I won't talk to you."

Hermione fumed, then regained composure. Then she smiled sweetly her best smile and said, "Very well."

Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Neville sat together in a now 'un-deserted' compartment. Nobody had much to say, because Hermione wasn't there to annoy. It was awfully lonely.

Finally, Ginny spoke up. "Harry, do you want to come with me to…um…yeah…"

Harry looked around eagerly (but not too eagerly, for he didn't want Ron to have a cow), and nodded. "We'll be right back," he told Ron and Neville.

They nodded.

So Harry and Ginny left the compartment and were in the aisle of the train. "Where do you want to, um, you know…?" Harry said.

"Let's try the other end of the train," Ginny suggested looking around to see that no one was there to overhear them.

They walked briskly holding hands passing one or two people on their way, trying not to look to eager. But then they heard something from down the other end…and it sounded like…Hermione?

As they became closer to the voice, they soon realized that were not one, but two voices coming from the compartment. Harry slid the door open, Ginny clinging to his arm with a smile on her face, which quickly faded.

"Stupid fucking bitch!" they heard someone say, and then when they realized who it was, they entered the compartment and Harry punched the person in the face.

"Damn it, Potter, what was that for?!"

"You called her a bitch! Don't ever let me hear you talking to Hermione like that again, or…or…or something…"

Draco had stood up and placed his wand at Harry's throat, forcing Harry to tip his head back. Harry gulped. "Well well well, if it isn't Potty and the Weaselette. Wonder what they're up to? Planning on finding a empty compartment? Well I'm afraid that won't happen because they're full up."

Harry became angrier, and knocked Draco's hand away. Draco, left stunned, but quickly recovering from his shock, waved his wand and muttered, "Confondere!" (Italian for confuse) and Harry turned away, obviously confused about who he was fighting and directed a spell towards Hermione, which she coherently dodged.

"Harry!" Ginny screamed and went for his hand. She shouted, "Restore da confusione!" (Italian for restore out of confusion) and Harry was instantly back in his place.

Almost at once, Harry and Draco raised their wands simultaneously, but Hermione jumped in between them and said, "Stop it! The both of you, stop it! We don't need any of this fighting on the train. Not ever do we need it! But could you just stop fighting for the next couple of hours? Frankly? I'm sick of it. So just shut up and leave each other alone."
Draco and Harry were stunned, but nodded, afraid of Hermione and her peculiar behavior. But they lowered their wands, then Harry and Ginny left through the compartment door.

"Wow, Granger," Draco said when they were gone. "You really know how to yell at people and make their day a whole lot better."

Hermione smiled sweetly. "Cheers."

Author's Note: Wow…that was the longest amount of pages I have ever written…five pages…wow…I am just astonished at myself. I realized today that I write a whole lot better when I don't write it out on paper first, not to mention that it's longer, because you know how when you write stuff first and then type it, it gets shorter...? Anyway, that was, like, a major run on sentence, but whatever…I'm happy because this chapter was really long for me. More than a thousand words, too. Man, I love I practically live on here. Like, seriously, I would not be able to live without fanfiction. But you should know that I hate slash pairings and male pregnancies. I mean, that is totally disgusting(no offense to slashers, I'm not saying that their badly written.)

Anyway, I hope that everyone has a nice week at school or work or whatever. And I know that this is such a long author's note, but whatever. HAPPY MONDAY!!!!!!!!
