Chapter 3

The two weeks had flown over and Hermionie and Draco were taking their seats together on the Hogwarts express. About an hour went by before Hermionie went to meet some of her fellow first years in the carriages near hers before being sent off on request to help find a toad for a boy called Neville Longbottom. She happily took the opportunity to make new friends and as she was going from carriage to carriage she came across two boys who had not yet changed into their school robes stuffing their mouths with sweets from to liquorish to magic beans before making her presence noticed by exclaiming who she thought she had heard of " Oh wow! Your' Harry Potter! I'm Hermionie Granger. I can't wait until I tell Draco all about this oh and by any chance have you haven't seen a toad have you? A boy called Neville has lost one already!" Hermionie asked with a huge smile on her face, still chuffed from meeting Harry. She soon noticed Harry's glasses were cracked and so she waved her wand and casting a spell to immediately fixing them, "Oculus Repairo". Harry seemed amazed at such simple magic, why?

Hermionie thought to herself for a few moments before dismissing it. And so did the boy next to her. 'Guess they haven't researched at all for this year' Hermionie thought to herself before telling the boy next to Harry that he had a bit of dirt on his nose and seeing him try to rub it off but failing to before she left to ask other people if they had seen a toad.

"No look finding that toad then?" Draco asked Hermionie in a blank tone as she returned to her seat in their compartment of the carriage of the train while he was looking at Hermionie's reflection in the window he was staring at. "No but it will turn up eventually and everyone is looking out for it now anyways so no worries" Hermionie said smiling to Draco who looked bored and uninterested since it the topic was about helping a low class wizard to find something that was really difficult to have lost in the first place.

"These robes are actually horrible" Draco told Hermionie in a self-conscious way before turning around to see a big grin on Hermionie's face as she was trying her hardest not to burst into fits of laughter as she had changed into her robes several hours ago in the girls toilets on the train and pulling the long robe off in a girly fashion. "Oh stop it haha, once we get into the Slytherin common rooms we are going to show the others who are the bosses of the year" Draco exclaimed to Hermionie in a confident way. "We are going to be best friends in these 7 years and forever and ever!" Hermionie looked at Draco with a twinkle in her eye and a hopeful look on her face.
