**Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter

Hi guys it's me again! I'm going to try to make this chapter longer than the last one. Sorry if I have too many spelling mistakes or grammar mistakes, because I wrote this at like 11:30. I hope you enjoy!

Three years later

Draco was getting onto the train, ready to start the long journey to Hogwarts. He had everything he needed- a book. He loved to read so why not take advantage of having some time to do it? Draco also had his mind and he loved to daydream. Replaying past events, he stumbled upon when Hermione forgot him. He lost her. Draco lost his best friend- maybe even only. He wished more than anything that his dad would have erased his memory too. It would be a lot less painful. I mean, what good is remembering your only friend when they won't remember you?

When Hermione boarded the Hogwarts Express, she had an odd feeling that she was being watched. When she looked around, her attention was caught by a blonde-haired boy who was looking at her. Correction- staring. Hermione felt as if she had met him. She certainly recognized the grey eyes. She had met him, but she couldn't seem to remember where. Hermione tried and tried but it still wasn't coming to her. It was very strange for her not to remember something. After all, she did have a near-photographic memory. Easily, Hermione dismissed the thought as fast as it had come- he just had a familiar face.

Shyly, Hermione asked if she could sit with the boy she caught staring- everywhere else was full. Startled, the boy dropped the book he was reading. "Uh ya, sure," the boy (she later found out was named Draco) looked slightly embarrassed as he nodded. Hermione felt as if Draco was going to say more but didn't. The way he looked at her made her squirm- as if he was being stealthy when he stared at her.

Draco just didn't know what to say. Her face was so familiar to him, but his wasn't to her. Draco decided that he should try to win her friendship all over again- it seemed reasonable to him. "Well, I am Draco Malfoy- and you said your name was?" He hated not being able to talk like they used to- easily. This conversation seemed so stiff and formal. "Hermione Granger- very pleased to meet you," Hermione seemed as if trying to come up with the right words. "Most are," Draco said deciding that was the perfect response- witty and friendly. "Modest too?" she asked sounding slightly amused. "Oh why yes, that is one of my many good qualities- no good isn't a strong enough word..hmm...amazing," he settled with that, getting a little carried away. Hermione didn't even try to hide her slight disapproval of being so proud and boastful.

After a few minutes, Hermione got out a book and became engaged in it. Draco was fairly annoyed at losing her attention. Just as he was planning to start up another conversation, a brown-haired Gryffindor came stumbling in. Literally, he fell through the doorway. "Hi, Neville," Hermione greeted though she barely looked up from her book. Draco chuckled softly- she was still the same person on the inside even if she didn't remember. "Hermione, can you please help me find my toad- I've seemed to have lost him again," the boy frantically checked under their seats- Draco thought he was being a little too over-dramatic.

To Draco's disappointment, Hermione nodded and told Draco that she would be right back. He tried not to seem too sad when she left. After all, it would be kind of weird considering that they had just met- according to Hermione.

Hermione opened the door to a compartment where a red-head boy was sitting with a black-haired boy. "Have either of you seen a toad? Neville's lost one," she inquired. Both boys quickly shook their heads. Hermione felt like she recognized the black-haired boy. What was it with her and thinking that she had met people before? Was she going mad? Well, at least not this time because she had seen him somewhere before. "Hang on- your Harry Potter!" Hermione quickly found out. She knew that she had seen him before. Harry nodded. The three of them started talking and it took a little while, but the three of them soon became close friends.

As for Draco, well, he grew angry because it was supposed to be him who was talking and laughing with her- not Potter and Weasley. As Hermione changed, so did Draco.

Two years later.

"Mudblood," Draco hissed when he saw Hermione laughing with Potter. Lucius was really starting to rub off on him. Draco frowned with the thought. He did not want to be like his father, but yet how could he not be angry? The only time that he spent with Hermione was when they were fighting.

Since Potter was Draco' enemy, so was Hermione (as much as it pained him to say it- think it for that matter). Draco wanted to cry in defeat, but instead he just held his head higher- he was a Malfoy. Draco was on his way to Charms- his favorite class (except for maybe Potions).

Draco was late but he honestly couldn't care less. "...and so for the project your group will try to come up with several new charms...oh and I will let you pick your partners," Professor Flitwick explained the new project for the 15th time. Draco groaned inwardly- who would he work with- Crabbe and Goyle didn't take Charms.

Draco just stood and waited for someone to come and beg to be partners with him. No one did. He was a Malfoy! How dare no one want him as their partner! "Well, Mr. Malfoy- Miss Granger. Since neither of you have partners, you shall work together- my two best students!" Professor Flitwick said happily, ignoring the glares that were plainly written across both of their faces. Draco was actually pleased. He wanted to make Hermione a friend, and now would be the perfect time to do that. He was so pleased that she couldn't even object! How could she doubt a teacher?

Thank you guys so much for reading! I know that I made Harry, Ron, and Hermione's friendship start differently, but i didn't just want to redo everything about how they met from the books. Well I hoped you liked this chapter! I can't promise that the next one will come out this soon though! Please R/R! Thank you for reading! Please comment if you have a suggestion about what should happen next! Thank you guy so much!
