Chapter 2- Kings Cross and The Hogwarts express

Before Draco knew it, it was time to go back to Hogwarts. He would be able to see his friends and the bushy haired Hermione. Stop thinking about her! Quit calling her Hermione! Her name is Granger for Godric's sake! Why couldn't he stop thinking of her? He knew her from Hogwarts for four years and had been cruel to her, Weasel and Potty. He smirked to himself when he thought of that one. Oh well, as long as I don't make a fool of myself I might have an easier time staying away and not to think about her. He thought. Even he knew it was going to be hard. Even if he wasn't thinking about it. He closed his trunk and carried it downstairs.

Hermione slept late cause she packed the night before. Already reading all the text books again.

"Hermione! Time for breakfast!" Her mother hollered up the stairs.

"Coming, Mum!" With the sleep still not out of her voice. She got dressed and grabbed her trunk and set it near the door. She could smell the food from the kitchen, which made her stomach growl and her laugh.

"What's so funny?" Her father asked. Looking up from his newspaper.

"My stomach." She replied with a smile on her face with a little blush when she saw the food. Her mother and father laughed at her expression which made her blush even more.

Draco was bored when he got to Kings Cross. He just ate when he left but he was already hungry again because he was nervous. Bloody Granger. Don't even know why I'm so nervous just too even see her face. Pathetic! His thoughts trailed on and on till he got on the train. He was sitting with Blaise, Goyle, Pansy (Draco had no idea why he was sitting with her), and Crabbe. When his next thought came in his mind he shivered.

"What is it Draco?" Pansy asked

"What's it to you?" Draco growled. Why was he sitting with her again? Pansy looked at him wide-eyed.

"Apologize!" Blaise yelled next to him almost making him jump out of his seat.

"What? What did you say Blaise? Did you tell me to apologize?" Draco growled back.

"I. Told. You. To. Apologize." He said real slowly as if he were talking to a 4 yr. old.

"No! Bugger this." Draco said and got up and grabbed his trunk and went to find an empty compartment. When he found one he saw a trunk but didn't bother to find out whose it was.

Hermione got bored of teaching Ron and Harry spells so she headed to her empty compartment but, when she got there it wasn't so empty. Malfoy was lying with his feet up on one side and had fallen asleep against the side. She couldn't help but smile he looked so peaceful. Since she didn't want to be rude she opened the door quietly and grabbed a book to read. But, no sooner were her eyes closing. She looked over at Malfoy then turned her head away and fell asleep.

When Draco woke-up he wasn't expecting to find what he did. He saw Hermione in the exact same way he was but, it looked she been awake for at least ten minutes reading a book. Of Course. He thought. Always in a book. He couldn't help but snicker. She looked up as if she was startled. I thought I snored. How would my snickering make her jump?

"What are you doing in here Bookworm?" Draco asked even though there were bigger things to think about, like her face, it was the first one he thought of.

Why did he have to wake right now! In my favorite part of this book! Hermione thought shooting daggers at him.

"If you haven't noticed I was in here first." She said going back to her book. Hopefully he will be quiet just for a minute. She thought

"So it was-" But before Draco couldn't finish for, the train jerked to a stop.

"We aren't supposed to be there yet." Hermione looked outside then went to the door to see what was going on. Draco followed behind her.

"Draco go get my wand. It's in my trunk." She whispered. Draco did what she told him and came back.

"Lumos" She whispered

Draco mumbled something to himself hoping that she couldn't hear him. Just then a spell came in but Hermione was faster and sent a spell right back at the man shaped silhouette. He hit the door of the compartment across from them. Scaring the first years that were in there.

"Stupefy!" Someone yelled barely missing Draco but, before he could send a spell back Hermione beat him there.

"Petrifies Totaltalus" She yelled and in a minute the lights were back on. Draco went to go see who it was since he knew most of the Death Eaters cause of his father. But, he was shocked to see who Hermione hit.

"Ron?" Hermione asked aloud.

"Come on will be arriving soon and we both need to change." Draco told Hermione. Draco just wanted her away so it wouldn't hurt her any more than it had. He grabbed her shoulder to turn her around but he felt warmth spread through his hand and soon let go.

Hermione was shocked. She didn't know what to think about one of her best friends attacking her. When Draco grabbed her shoulder she felt a since of relief that he was there and she was safe.
