Her/His Choice (draco and hermione story)

The Beginning.

I do not own any of these characters they belong to JK Rowling Harry Potter.

King Cross Station and a brick  wall between platforms nine and ten. There was nothing special about this brick wall, it was like any other; brown with a tint of orange, unevenly spaced out yet perfectly ordinary. It was like any other wall at the station. However, this wall seemed to attract people and for those it didn't all they could do is look in confusion.  Every September the first this wall become a walkway to platform nine and three quarters. Huddled around the platform were people oddly dressed , (well by muggle standards) pushing carts and trolleys holding trunks full of clothes, cages with owls, toads or cat. There was little explanation to what was exposed to the naked eye other than the simple conclusion that this is wall was what separated the muggles from the wizards.

Today's date was September the first and exactly all of this was happening. Carts were there than all of a sudden they disappeared, the wizards were there then all of a sudden they disappeared, King Cross station was packed then all of a sudden it was empty. The Police Officer situated in between platforms 9 and 10 chuckled when anyone asked him where to find platform 9 and 3/4 and simply replied that there was no such thing. He soon attempted to run through the wall himself but unfortunately failed.

  The Weasley's were family with flaming red hair, a generous amount of freckles and a peculiar sense of style. Beside them there was a male and female who just didn't blend with their companions. The boy was of average height, if anything he was shorter than expected, his hair was black and seemed to have been maintained as little as possible  with the occasional run through with fingers. His glasses were round with tape holding the middle together, but rather poorly and just under his fringe there was a visible scar, in the shape of a lightening bolt, a symbol unique to only one wizard -Harry Potter. The female had curvy brunette waves which reached the middle of her back, her eyes were red and puffy as if she had been crying. This was significantly in contrast with her rather formal dress sense which she complimented with a potions book in her hand. Hermoine Granger was always well equip. It can only be assumed that Ron was somewhere near them, ultimately completing the Golden Trio.

There was platform nine and three quarters and there they said their goodbyes accompanied by a swarm of eyes fixated on them.

 "Why do people look at us like that, I know what we have done but it does get irritating" whispered  Harry

"Well I can't get enough of it, look at the bright side Harry" said Ron

" Will both of you shut up and just get on the Hogwarts express" Hermoine said quite annoyed.

The boys simply exchanged a look and did what they were told. Cameras were flashing and people were chanting it was surprising that they were somehow able to escape and enter the train. When they had finally reached their compartment they made themselves as comfortable as they could manage. There was a silence that filled the compartment. They were all wondering whether they made the right choice by returning to Hogwarts. The Silence was eventually broken by Hermione.

"This year will be tough but lets try to enjoy it" she said it with hope.

"I don't share your optimism Hermione, I wish i did" said Harry

Both Hermione and Harry looked towards Ron awaiting his response. Ron looked down and asked

"Has anyone got food" 

If looks could kill... Ron would be dead.

"what? I am hungry" Ron said defensively 

"you're always hungry" Ginny said before hitting him...several times.

 Laughter replaced the silence but they were interrupted by knock. They all turned their heads sharply and their eyes landed on a tall and lean body with light blonde hair with not a strand out of place. No one looked away and no one looked pleasant towards the intruder. Draco was welcomed with murderous looks from both Harry and Ron. Ginny looked through him rather than at him and beside her Hermione focusing on Draco's grey eyes, trying to read his intentions.

"What do you want Malfoy" harry said interrupting Hermione thoughts

"Well Potter I didn't come for you - I am here for Hermione" Draco spat back

Hermione automatically reached for her wand. 

"Why do you want me?" 

"Well Granger, professor McGonagall would like to have a word"

Hermione didn't hesitate, she stood up, took a breath and made her way with Draco.
