A tale as old as time

Not just a mudblood

Hermione pulls her usual Hogwarts express train ride book out of her bag and Ron and Harry both grown " how many times are you going to read Hogwarts a History Mione?" They say almost in sync. Hermione ponders the question for a moment " well seven I guess " she smiles at them " that's how many times we start a new term at Hogwarts." She grins slightly as Ron and Harry stand up " we're going to find the treat Cart" Harry smiles " would you like anything Mione ?" She smiles shaking her head knowing they will bring something back for her anyways. Just as Hermione settles into her books she hears a large crash and commotion in the halls of the train. " DON'T YOU SPEAK ILL OF MY FAMILY MALFOY, YOU RUDDY FERRET". Hermione rolls her eyes and stands up grabbing Ron away from Malfoy with Harry's help " honestly Draco don't you have anything better to do with your time, maybe actually learn something before me for a change. " Excuse you granger ? I believe I must have mis heard your disrespect" Hermione comes a bit closer to him and hatefully mutters " oh no Malfoy you heard me correctly " she glares at him and turns away walking back to her compartment. " filthy mudblood " Draco mutters Cooly under his breath but watches her walk back to her compartment before going back to his own , their was something different about granger this year , he thought to himself , has she matured ? She certainly looks well. He closes his eyes and falls asleep into a deep dream for the rest of the train ride
