Hey everybody! I've used FanFiciton.net for a long time, but never wrote
any stories. I really like pairing Draco and Hermione together, because the
evil and.er. goodness balance each other out. and they are sooo cute
together, don't you think? Ok, well, anyways, no flames, please! Enjoy!

Chapter One- Back to School
Hermione POV
Sitting in the train compartment, I gazed out the window and looked around at the grounds I knew so well. It seemed like yesterday I had been a little first year, excited and nervous to no end. Of course, I covered my anxiousness up well, by coming off bossy. But that wasn't the point. I was going to miss Hogwarts so much when I left- I had only one more year after this. I'd miss everything. the teachers, the dimly lit hallways, the little house-elves, and maybe even Filch....
"Hermione- are you okay? You're completely spacing out today.. it's not like you!" Ron exclaimed. She turned slowly to face him. He looked the same- the famous Weasley hair, the long nose.. yet something was different.... She tried to figure it out. His freckles? Nope- still there.. even more visible than ever. He did look a bit more built, no longer thin and lanky, but she supposed that was from Quidditch.
"Yeah. I'm okay. No big deal." I yawned. He looked worried, so I just smiled at him and he smiled right back. The compartment door slid open, and Harry walked in. He looked at us smiling at each other and cocked an eyebrow. When he sat down next to me, I playfully shoved him.
"What?" I looked at him as if to say, you know what. He replied (to my look), "Well, if you two are going out now, you should at least let one of your best friends know!" The tips of Ron's ears immediately turned red and I felt myself blushing.
"We are not going out," Ron said hotly. Harry grinned, and I'm sure I heard him mutter, "Sure.." I noticed that Harry looked exactly the same. Not one difference. Soon, Harry and Ron began talking about Quidditch. I quickly became bored, so I lugged out my copy of Hogwarts, a History. I heard the compartment door slide open again, but I didn't even bother to look up. I heard someone come in, but I thought it was only Ginny or someone.
"Go away, Malfoy!" I heard Harry say. I looked up, but barely recognized who I saw. If indeed it was Malfoy, he'd changed- and for the better. He looked a lot fitter, and his silver-blonde hair was falling into his steel eyes. He wasn't as pale as I had remembered him, either. He looked..cute.
"Malfoy?" I exclaimed. To my surprise, he looked at me, but not with anger and hate. He looked like he couldn't believe his eyes.

Draco POV
I heard a girl's voice say, "Malfoy?" I knew at once it was going to be the Mudblood. But when I turned I saw a pretty, no- beautiful girl staring back at me. I couldn't believe my eyes. She looked completely different- her teeth were straight and white, her hair was no longer big and bushy. Instead, she had caramel curls cascading down to the middle of her back. I also noticed that she had filled out nicely. And her eyes.. oh, her chocolate brown eyes....
*Wait a minute, Draco,* I thought, *you can NOT be thinking this about her. she's just. well, GRANGER!* But then, and even bigger, more resounding part of me thought, *SO WHAT?* I knew Father would disown me for even thinking about her in a romantic way.
The fact that I couldn't have her made me want her even more.
