CHAPTER 1

SOME THINGS DO CHANGE

Hermione Granger stepped onto the train that would take her to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in just a few short minutes. It was her seventh year, final year to be exact. Then she would be off to Silver Star University of Magic. Hermione although only 17 had grown into quite the lovely young woman from that bushy brown haired little know it all of 11. Her hair was still a bit bushy, but she had managed to tame it to be slightly silky and wavy. Her figure had developed really well, her eyes, still the most shocking but lovable chocolate color. She waved her mom and dad good-bye while they waved back at her through the mist of other parents waving their children off.

Hermione made her way through the compartments trying to find her two best friends. Seeing a bit of red through one door, she slid it open to find a mop of black unruly hair, and two redheads.

"Harry! Ron! Ginny! It's so nice to see you guys!" Hermione said as she slid the door closed and went to sit beside one of the redheads who was named Ginny. Ginny Wealsey, Ron's younger sister, had grown as well, although she was a year younger than the rest of them, she was still part of the group. Ginny's hair although red, had darkened a bit. It wasn't the bright red it once was. Her eyes were still a bright brown, full of happiness and perkiness. Her figure had sharpened as well.

She turned and looked at Harry Potter and was in awe. All those years of playing quidditch certainly done him well in the muscle areas. His hair was even more black…if that's possible…unruly and dishelved. His eyes were still the green she knew so well. Then she turned her attention to Ron Weasley. His red hair had darkened as well. His eyes, still the lovable light brown they've always been.

She turned her attention back to the conversation.

"So, Hermione, how was your summer?"asked Ginny.

"Oh, alright I guess. I went to Paris for a bit, and read."

"That sounds like you all right, reading…don't you do anything else?"asked Ron shaking his head.

"Oh come on Ron, it wouldn't be our Hermione if she didn't read."said Harry

laughing, and Ginny giggling.

They continued their conversation about their summer until someone, not so unexpected opened their compartment door.

"Ahh, if it isn't Potty, two Weasles, and ohh, is that Mudblood Granger? Who would have though such beauty would be wasted on you?"

"Well if it isn't Malfoy, the bouncing ferret?"said Ron.

Draco turned to look at him. "Was I addressing you Weasley? I think it's time for red here to learn how to respect me…again."

Hermione took notice of Draco. He hasn't changed one bit. Although he was cute, his attitude took over. His hair was still the blinding blonde…how could anyone be THAT blonde?she thought. Anyway no doubt quidditch had an affect on him.

"Draco..shove off!"she said.

"Oh, does Granger have a problem?"

"Uh, yes of course, now go away you bloody git!" Before Draco could say anything, Hermione got out her wand and blasted him to the end of the train. People from other compartments peeked their heads out to see what was going on. Hermione being the Head Girl had to say something.

"It's alright everyone, just taking care of some riff raff, you may return to your conversations." She took one last look at Malfoy, "some things never change"she whispered to herself, and returned back into the compartment she was in for the rest of the ride.

The train came to Hogwarts about half an hour later. The trio plus Ginny got on a carriage and took their seats and were silent he rest of the way. They, along with the others, came to the big oak doors of the Great Hall and took their seats at their table.

Hermione glanced up to the staff table noting how everyone is still in the same spot…Dumbledore in the middle, to his right, Prof. McGonagall, Hagrid, Prof. Flitwick, and to the other side of Dumbledore, Prof. Sinistra, Prof. Snape and then to her amazement, Prof. Lupin. Hermione sighed. Prof. Lupin looked even more handsome than the last she saw him. Which was the summer after her 5th year..but nothing to think about.

God Hermione…he's your teacher!Hermione thought to herself. You shouldn't think like that….his smile is just captivating….Hermione no…stop..get a hold of yourself girl!she kept thinking to herself. She looked back to Harry and Ron, who were talking about quidditch as usual.

From the staff table, Remus Lupin looked around the crowd of students. He spotted her. The most beautiful girl…well woman, he knew. One Ms. Hermione

Granger. The student…..who captured his heart. God Remus old boy, what are you thinking, she's your student..it's not logical!he thought to himself, although, he couldn't help it. Never in a million years did he think this would happen. Why was it her, her that haunted his dreams at night, since that fateful year. When she first came to his class, she seemed like a little know it all of 13. But now, seeing her…she had grown….as his feelings for her…I guess some things do change. he thought as he turned back to his food, while all the time, glancing at her….and little did she know, she was doing the same.

After the feast was over, and the first years were sorted into their houses, the students went up to their dorms…since Hermione was Head Girl she got her own room. And she was allowed to have one friend join her…so of course, she picked Ginny.

"Oh Ginny, that is certainly not true…I don't like Professor Lupin!"said Hermione while changing into her pajamas.

"Then why were you staring at him every chance you got…hmm?"Ginny smirked. Hermione looked from behind her curtains and gave Ginny an evil glare.

"How…did….you"Hermione began but Ginny cut her off.

"I saw you, and I've never seen your eyes sparkle that much."

"GINNY!"Hermione began chasing Ginny around the room. After a while of talking about different things…they finally went to sleep…but Hermione had some trouble…she couldn't get her mind off of Prof. Lupin.

"I thought my crush on him was over….this might be love…..oh well..I guess some things do change afterall."she said to herself before falling right to sleep with a big smile on her face.
