A/N: I'm sorry that chapter one was so short. I promise that this one will make up for it.

Chapter 2
"Suddenly the door flew open to reveal what I could classify the equivalent of a Greek God. It was…Draco Malfoy. For the past four years of my life he had done nothing but torment my friends and I. Ron and Harry hated him, but I don't think anyone else at school despised him like I did. He was constantly making jokes about me, and the fact that I wasn't a pureblood like himself. I never saw why it mattered so much, but apparently he wasn't the only one who felt that way.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? Granger without her little boyfriends. Don't tell me they left you for someone new." "I was becoming angry very fast, and when I spoke, the fury in my voice was obvious.
"What do you want Malfoy, or should I say Ferret Face? You know, I don't think that Professor McGonagall really ever transformed you back. You still seem to much like a sneaky little rodent to me." "Is that so Granger? Well at least I don't look like some buck toothed-" "But to my surprise he stopped, suddenly realizing that my teeth were no longer huge." Granger, your teeth, what happened to them?" I couldn't help but smile at the way he had suddenly acted." "Oh yes Malfoy, and it's all thanks to you that my teeth are no longer like they used to be. You see, when you accidentally made them larger last fall, I had Madame Pomfrey make them smaller, without her knowledge. So Malfoy, I actually have something about you that I'm grateful for, your stupidity. If you hadn't fought with Harry, my teeth would still be huge. And now if you will excuse me, I need to air out the compartment, there's a stink of Malfoy in it.' And with that I shut that door in his face, his very stunned face."
"By the time that Ron and Harry arrived, I'd already made myself quite comfortable. When the door slid open, I prepared myself for the return of Malfoy, but I was pleasantly surprised to see my two best friend standing there. From there though, my surprise turned to amusement as they stared at me. I actually didn't know if they recognized me until Ginny came to the door too." "Oh Hermione, you look wonderful," she cried. "I can't believe how much you've changed." "All's I did was grin at her, waiting for the boys to say something. Harry was always better at finding his voice, so it didn't surprise me when he spoke up first." "Wow Hermione, you look so…different. Your so tan, and thin. Have you been eating at all this summer?" "Good old Harry, always worrying about his friends. After I assured him that I had eaten, I turned to Ron. The look on his face was evidently that of shock, and I was on the verge of erupting into laughter, but managed to remain calm."
"Er..Hermione, you look, um..really good." "Of course that was what I expected Ron to say. It was so apparent that he liked me, which I found strange due to all of Malfoy's terrorizing, always left me feeling worthless. The only problem with my best friend liking me..I didn't feel the same way, and I was afraid to tell him. All's I could do was smile at them. Ginny was the first to notice how uncomfortable I was feeling at the moment. It was she who suggested we all sit down and talk about our summers. Thank goodness for Ginny."
"The rest of the ride progressed without much of a problem. Some of our friends stopped in to visit, and all were as astonished as the next person. I was actually starting to understand how Harry felt when people stared at him, like some animal in a zoo. I was grateful when the train pulled into the Hogsmeade Station. But I was in for a little surprise of my own when we reached the horse-less carriages. I was about to step inside one with Ron, Harry, and Ginny, when suddenly someone reached out and grabbed my arm. I turned around to come face to face with none other than Draco Malfoy."
"What is it now Rodent Boy? Did I forget to say something to you?' He actually turned the slightest shade of pink before he responded." "No Granger, it's just that the prefects have their own reserved carriage." "I couldn't believe it. Malfoy, a prefect? Of course it made sense since he was Snapes favorite student, but that didn't stop me from standing there with my mouth open. Finally I came back to earth when I saw him walking away. Waving to the others, I reluctantly followed suit. When he stopped at a carriage, I curiously looked in hoping my fellow prefects were better than Malfoy. Sitting on one side of the carriage were two students. The boy with dark hair I recognized as Justin Finch Fletchy. The girl, was an exact replica of her twin sister and my fellow Gryffindor, Parvati Patil. This girls name was Padma. Both smiled at me, but frowned when they saw Malfoy standing beside me. Justin looked angrily at Malfoy and spoke." "Please tell me your just going around to all the carriages and making sure each is full." "Malfoy however smiled." You wish. I'm the Slytherin prefect, just as Granger here is the Gryffindor one." "I gave them a weak smile, and climbed in. This was going to be a long year.
