Chapter 2:

The next morning Hermione woke up early. Or better said she was woken up early by Mrs. Weasley storming into the room yelling for Ginny and Hermione to get up because they had to be at King’s Cross in an hour.
“Great, one hour. I wanted to shower and wash my hair but it won’t get dry till we have to leave and now I’ll look like a homeless person.” Hermione said and sighed. She looked at Ginny which was staring at her with a smile.
“You do know that you can do magic? I know a spell for your hair. But now you really should shower before Ron gets in there.” Ginny shooed her out of the room and Hermione smiled. Ginny may not now it but she really was like her mother sometimes.
She opened the bathroom door and was relieved to see it empty. She once walked into Fred – or was it George – in the shower and was embarrassed for the next week. Oh and the twins made it even worse by telling everyone. She would never forget Ron’s face. That was the first time that Hermione thought that Ron had feelings for her but he said nothing. She stepped under the shower and enjoyed the feeling of the warm water on her skin. She loved to shower or the rain. She always enjoyed her private baths in the prefect’s bathroom. Yeah, she wasn’t prefect but she always made sure to know the password and you just had to do the homework of one of the prefect’s to get. It was easy. And she wasn’t the only one who had that brilliant idea. At the end of last year she went to the prefect’s bathroom to see Draco Malfoy swimming in the pool. She didn’t want him to know that she was there so she slipped out again and went back to the Common room. But she was sure that he would be there this year again and she swore to herself that she would borrow Harry’s cloak. She didn’t want a repeat of what happened in Diagon Alley.
While she was drying herself of she was thinking about Harry’s words again. What if Malfoy was a death eater? Why would Voldemort want someone in Hogwarts? It was insane. The pupils didn’t have their one shower and you can’t make the Mark all invisible. She still saw pieces of Snape’s mark sometimes. She put her clothes on and while walking back to her room she was convinced that Malfoy wasn’t a death eater.
“Ah, there you are again. So I asked my mom if she knew a spell and she does. And you can be lucky that I showered last night.” Ginny said and sat next to Hermione. “So, you just point your wand at your hair and say which hairstyle you want. So if you want locks you say curl it. If you want straight hair you say, straighten it and so on. So come on try it out.”
“Okay” Hermione thought about her hairstyle for a minute before pointing the wand to her hair and saying “Straight hair.”
At first she didn’t feel anything and thought that she did something wrong but then she felt her hair getting dry and being straightened. She looked into the mirror and gasped. Her hair was straight and it looked perfect. “Wow.” She said before pulling it into a ponytail and looking at her watch.
“Yes, I know, we have to go.” Ginny said and smiled. “Let’s go.”
They went downstairs and saw Mrs. Weasley talking to Harry and Ron in a stern tone. They probably had done something wrong again. Ginny cleared her throat and her mother looked up. “Oh, there you are. Let’s go. We are going to floo to King’s Cross. So you know how to it. Arthur hast your package and will be meeting us there.”
“Ron, you are first.” She shooed her youngest son to the fireplace and gave him some floe powder. When Ron disappeared she looked at Harry. “You and Ginny are next. At let Ginny talk. Hermione you’ll be going after me, ok?”
Hermione nodded and watched how Ginny, Ron and Mrs. Weasley disappeared. Then she stepped into the fireplace and shouted “King’s Cross” She felt herself being pulled through the fireplaces and when she landed at King’s Cross she was so dizzy that she tripped and stumbled into someone.
“Gosh, I’m so…” she looked up and her eyes met the ones of Draco Malfoy
“Sorry?” he asked her and smirked. Oh, how she hated that smirk.
“Yes. That’s what I wanted to say. So know you know and I can go.” She said and walked away.
“Hermione, we are here.” She heard Harry shout and saw them standing with Neville and Luna.
“Hey. How are you?” she asked them and smiled. She liked Neville and even though Luna was a little bit strange she was nice. Really nice.
She looked up and saw Malfoy standing with Blaise Zabini and Pansy Parkinson. He had his arm around her waist and she was smiling at him. Hermione didn’t understand why he chose Parkinson? He could have everyone. He was a good looking guy and even some Gryffindors – not her but some – would be his girlfriend. She watched Blaise say something and Hermione saw how Malfoy was looking around before answering Blaise. He looked nervous. What were they talking about? And where was Narcissa? She always went to King’s Cross with her son.
“Hermione, we have to board the train.” She heard Ron say and nodded. While waiting to board the train she looked and Malfoy again and saw that he was looking back. Brown met blue. But they didn’t narrow their eyes like normally. They just continued looking – without any prejudice or hate. Just two young people – not Granger and Malfoy, not mudblood and ferret. But the moment was lost when they were being pushed onto the train.
Hermione searched for a compartment with her friends, trying not to think about what just happened. Trying not to think about how blue Malfoy’s eyes were and how good he looked. He was Malfoy after all. Her enemy. The boy that bullied her since 1st year.
“So, I really think that Malfoy is a death eater.” Harry said when they were seated and Hermione rolled her eyes.
“No, Harry, he’s not. It doesn’t make any sense.” She said and Ginny nodded in agreement.
“But Voldemort wants a spy in Hogwarts.” Harry said and looked at Ron which was oblivious to the world around him because he had his sweets.
“That maybe through but he wouldn’t take a kid that isn’t legal yet and has to shower with about 50 other boys. Voldemort isn’t stupid, Harry.” Hermione answered and sighed. She then saw Malfoy walking by their compartment and saw Harry pulling out his cloak and smiling slightly. Oh great, he planned something.
“I’ll be right back.” He said after 5 minutes and slipped out of the compartment. Hermione looked at Ginny which was watching her. She then looked at Ron which was sleeping.
“Ginny he’s planning something. I’ll go after him, kay?”
Ginny nodded and Hermione went after Harry. She saw Harry going into Malfoy’s compartment and cursed. He may have his cloak but that doesn’t mean that he’s superman. But she was too late – he already was inside.
“Oh, see what the cat dragged in.” she suddenly heard Malfoy whisper in her ear and turned around. “You again.”
“Oh come on. Try something new. It’s getting boring.” She answered and smirked at him – yes, Hermione Granger can smirk, too. She just doesn’t do it so frequently.
“What do you want here?” Malfoy asked her and looked at her.
“Luna lost her strange glasses and I’m helping her finding them. She says that she can see these little things in our brains with them. I don’t know. But, I’m going because I don’t want to waste my time with you.”
Hermione stepped forward but Malfoy was faster. “Stop” He pushed her against the wall – again. Did he have a wall fetish? Oh, bad thoughts.
“Did you tell anyone about our meeting in Knockturn Alley?” He asked and watched her intently.
“No, I didn’t. And it wasn’t a meeting. But I didn’t tell a soul so you can be happy. Now let me go.” Draco didn’t move and Hermione looked at him. “What?”
“You will never tell anyone.” He said low and Hermione nodded.
“Didn’t plan to.” She brushed past Draco and went back to her compartment. She only hoped that Harry was okay.
