Beginnings
Authors note: The Italics are what Hermione is thinking.
Platform nine and three quarters was bustling with excitement as students prepared for their journey to Hogwarts. A young girl around the age of seventeen emerged out of the magical brick wall, moved her trolley out of the way and searched the masses for her best friends. The summer had been very kind to Hermione Granger, she had finally become tired of her know it all bookworm appearance. Her hair was no longer frizzy and bushy, it was now straight with various highlights in it and cascaded to her mid back. Earth tones of make-up graced her face and her hip-hugger jeans, Doc Martin sandals, and Dark blue Roxy t-shirt complimented her figure.
Glancing at her Adolfo watch she decided to go into the throng of people to search for Harry and Ron, but just as she stepped forward a stray trolley started at her with a shocking velocity. Adrenalin coursed through her body as she hurled herself to the left, but her body stayed in the same position. Looking down Hermione found to her dismay that she had stepped onto some bubble gum and was stuck. I can't get the buckle undone!
"Help", she screamed.
The trolley was closing in; closing her eyes she prepared herself for the blow. I'm going to die before I can even issue one command as head girl. Hermione was torn out of her thoughts as she felt herself being thrust to the side. Landing with a hard crash on the stone floor she felt a crushing sensation on her body. Gasping for breath she opened her eyes and found herself staring into the deep gray ones of none other then Draco Malfoy.
Hermione stared dumbfounded at Malfoy as he pushed himself of her. He brushed himself off and stood to his full height of 6'3, he had filled out nicely since she had last seen him, all of those years of quiditch had paid off. His platinum blond hair was not smoothed back, but was hanging loosely around his face. In his tight black long sleeved shirt and green cargo pants Draco Malfoy was completely stunning.
This had been a fairly weird day for Hermione, but what Malfoy did next surprised her more then anything. Stooping down a little Malfoy held out his hand to Hermione.
"Are you alright? Here, let me help you up", he said. What's going on? Why is Malfoy being so nice to me, this has to be a trick, or is it. Going against her better judgment Hermione slipped her had in to Malfoy's and in one smooth motion he had pulled her to her feet, however, he underestimated how light she was and pulled her up so fast Hermione was about to tip back over but a strong arm wrapped itself around her waist to keep her steady.
"You must be new here, my name is Draco Malfoy, what's your name?" He inquired while maintaining a firm grip on her waist.
This is crazy! Is he playing games with me, or does he really not recognize me. Hmm, this could be fun.
"Oh yes, I just transferred here, my name is Stacy. Um thank you for helping me out back there." Hermione replied with a smirk tugging at the tip of her lips. Malfoy smiled charmingly down at her.
"No problem, when ever I see a beautiful girl in trouble I am always more then willing to help." Malfoy said while brushing a stray strand of her hair behind her ear.
"Hey ferret, quit harassing her", yelled a familiar voice.
"Oh look, here comes potty and the weasel, oh but what's this, where's the mudblood." Draco taunted. Hermione immediately scowled and tensed in Malfoy's arms. Harry and Ron both started towards Malfoy with wands pointed. "tsk tsk", Malfoy chided," I wouldn't do that if I were you, I am head boy and if you threaten me I may just have to give you detention. What! He's head boy, oh great. This is supposed to be the best year of my life. I can't believe this. Hermione noticed that both boys grudgingly put their wands away in defeat. Malfoy laughed and then turned back to Hermione.
"You see Stacy, these are the type of people that you wouldn't want to be caught hanging out with, stick with me and I'll show you the ropes. That's it! I've had enough of this. Hermione pushed herself out of Draco's grasp.
"You disgust me Malfoy, I can't believe your head boy, did your daddy have to buy the school a whole new library so that they would let you be head boy?!" She ranted. Malfoy stared at her in awe and disgust.
"Granger!" He said incredulously.
"Who else would it be?" She replied sarcastically.
"Well I'd better go burn these cloths then, they've been contaminated", he said while looking at his cloths disgustingly, then a small smile crept across his face," Actually I guess I aught to be thanking you, now father will be sure to send me lots of extra money to get new cloths, after all mudblood, my cloths have been contaminated." Malfoy turned on his heel and laughed while walking towards the Hogwarts express. Jerk! Hermione turned to face her friends and found Ron and Harry starring at her with mouths agape.
"What are you guys starring at?" She demanded. Harry was the first to regain his composure.
"Hermione, you look, you look great!" He said while eyeing her over. A small blush crept to her face.
"Yeah, well I decided I needed a new look," she replied. Ron was still standing there just staring. Rolling her eyes Hermione went over to get her trolley but stopped as Harry's hand shot out in front of her grabbing the bars.
"Let me take care of this for ya Mione, I already put mine on the train." And with that Harry started to wheel her belongings towards the train. Hermione started after Harry but then remembered that Ron was still glued to the ground. Sighing she walked back over to Ron, grabbed him by the arm, and continued after Harry.
