Chapter 1
- Puck POV -
I walked over to my locker and noticed all the Glee kids waiting.
"Am I missing something?" I asked as I threw my stuff into my locker.
"Did you hear about the new kids?" Matt asked me.
"Nope. Any girls?" I asked. Quinn slapped me but smiled and shook her head. Since Beth had been adopted she had become friendlier to everyone. We had tried dating but it didn't seem to work. She was now single and so was I but we were cool with it. Finn and Rachel had hooked up after Regionals and I must admit, she has become a hell of a lot calmer and easier to be around.
"Yep. One girl and three boys. Apparently they have moved here from England," Rachel explained.
"How do you know that?" Finn asked.
"I was in the office this morning working out something for my dads and I overheard the ladies talking about them," Rachel said with a shrug.
"Attention students. We will be having an assembly this morning instead of homeroom. Please make your way to the auditorium once the bell rings," Figgins said over the PA.
"I guess we'll be finding out soon," Artie said. The bell rang and we all walked towards the auditorium. We sat down and waited. We were joined by Mr. Schue and Miss. Pillsbury as we waited for Figgins.
"Thank you everyone. Now, as you may or may not have heard, we have four new transfer students. The four students have transferred here from a boarding school in Scotland. So please make them welcome," Figgins said. Every head turned as the auditorium doors opened and four students walked in.
Two guys were standing on either side of a girl and a third guy was standing behind them. It seemed as though they had formed a protective guard around the girl.
I took the time to study them as they walked past. The tallest boy at the back had bleach blonde hair, ice blue eyes and was built like a footballer, in fact all the guys were. The one to the left of the girl seemed to be of Italian decent. He had black hair and blue eyes. The third boy was a black kid who had black hair and dark brown eyes. But the girl - she was gorgeous.
She had curly brown hair that went down to her mid-back. Her eyes were a gorgeous shade of chocolate brown and seemed to go on forever. She had tanned skin and stood around 5'8. She was by far the shortest of the group but she looked quite tough. The four walked up onto the stage and shook hands with Figgins before turning towards us.
"Everyone, this is Hermione Granger, Dean Thomas, Blaise Zabini and Draco Malfoy. It is my hope that you will make them all feel welcome," Figgins said. The four of them waved as their names were called but didn't make any other movements. Figgins told them they were free to head off to their classes so they could learn their way around the school and they walked out in their formation once again. He then started rabbiting on about crap for another ten minutes before we were dismissed.
Once we were dismissed we all walked out to my locker.
"Wow. How hot were those guys?" Quinn said. The girls nodded in agreement before jumping into comparing the three guys.
"Damn that girl was fine," Matt said while the girls and Kurt walked ahead of us.
"She sure was," I commented.
We split up at the first hallway - San, Mike, Brit, Finn and Tina walked towards English 2 and the rest of us headed for English 1.
We walked in and found two of the students - Hermione and Blaise talking to the teacher. The only spare seats were next to me and Quinn and I took my seat, hoping Hermione was the one sitting next to me.
"Class, this is Hermione and Blaise and they will be joining us. Hermione please take the spare seat next to Mr. Puckerman and Blaise please take the spare seat next to Ms. Fabray. Please raise your hands guys," Mr. Curtis said.
Quinn and I raised our hands and Hermione and Blaise walked towards us. Hermione smiled softly and whispered "Hi" as she slid into the seat next to me.
"Hey," I replied. Mr. Curtis then began speaking and I watched as Hermione pulled out a notebook and pen and started taking notes.
She worked hard and wrote down everything that was said. I noticed some scars on her wrists when she moved but I wasn't going to mention them. Once class ended she scooped her things up and met up with Blaise at the front of the room. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and she wrapped hers around his waist before they walked out of the classroom.
Once Quinn and I walked outside, we were bombarded by the gleeks who started questioning us about Hermione and Blaise.
"What are they like?"
"What did they say?"
"Are they dating?"
"GUYS!" I yelled. Everyone turned and looked at me and stopped talking. "I don't know about Blaise but Hermione didn't say anything to me except hi. I don't know if they are dating."
"Blaise didn't say much. Just hi, how are you before working again. He and Hermione seemed pretty close," I noticed a small amount of jealousy in her voice and smiled to myself.
We watched as Draco, Dean, Blaise and Hermione walked past us and I was finding myself quite excited about solving the mystery of the new foreign students.
- Hermione POV -
I walked into William McKinley High School flanked by Dean, Blaise and Draco and took a deep breath.
"It will be ok cara," Blaise said as he gave me a one armed hug. I took another deep breath and looked over at the three boys. We had all been damaged by the war and we were sent here by Dumbledore to help us recuperate.
"Come on. Once we get the first day done, we will be fine," Dean said. We walked through the front doors and headed towards the front office.
We received our timetables and were met by the principal who told us to follow him. We followed him to the auditorium and waited at the doors like he asked.
"We can do this guys," Draco said although not very convincingly. We heard Principal Figgins tell his students to make us feel welcome and we formed our usual formation and walked in. We looked around the hall rapidly and took in every detail. To the untrained eye, we were nervous new kids but we were actually subconsciously working out good defensive areas and good offensive areas due to our war training.
We walked up onto the stage and looked out at the sea of kids. We waved as Principal Figgins said our names but didn't do much else. We were dismissed to our classes and walked out of the hall.
"Ok, Blaise and I have English 1 with Mr. Curtis and you guys have English 2 with Mr. Jackson right?" I asked the boys. Dean and Draco nodded. I kissed them on the cheek and we went our separate ways.
"Hello, you must be Hermione and Blaise. It is going to be a pleasure having you here. We will be studying British literature this term so you will hopefully be well versed in it," Mr. Curtis said. The rest of the class filed in and we were introduced again. We were told who to sit next and Blaise and I both looked up and around.
My eyes connected with the sharp green eyes of the kid who Curtis called "Mr. Puckerman". His hair was fashioned in a mowhawk which looked really awesome. He was well built and I began to think he played football. I walked over to my seat and slid in.
"Hi," I whispered politely. He turned and smiled at me and I felt butterflies erupt in my stomach.
"Hey," He replied. I grabbed all my stuff out and started taking notes, trying to ignore the handsome god sitting beside me.
Once the bell rang I packed up my stuff and met Blaise at the front of to room.
"You ok cara?" He asked as he slung an arm around my shoulder and we walked out of the room. We met up with Dean and Draco and I wrapped my arms around Draco.
"Do you have a free Mya?" He whispered. I nodded into his chest and breathed in his scent.
"Do you want to go back to the auditorium and relax?" Draco asked.
We all nodded and headed towards the auditorium again. When we got there, we walked up onto the stage and sat down.
Dean sat at the piano and began to play softly.
"How was your first lesson?" I asked.
"It was pretty good. I met a cool guy named Finn who I was sitting next to. He was telling me about the school's glee club," Draco said.
"Yea, I was sitting next to a girl named Brittany and I swear, she was so dumb but so nice," Dean said. He changed songs he was playing and began to play My Immortal by Evanescence. I opened my mouth and began to sing along.
I'm so tired of being here These wounds won't seem to heal When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears You used to captivate me These wounds won't seem to heal When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
When we finished the song, Dean started playing Broken by Seether and Amy Lee. Blaise and Draco alternated between the male part and I sang the female part. (Hermione, Blaise, Draco, All).
I wanted you to know
That I love the way you laugh
I want to hold you high and steal your pain …away
I keep your photograph
And I know it serves me well
I want to hold you high and steal your pain
Because I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away
You don't feel me here...anymore
The worst is over now
And we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn
And no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome You're gone away
And I don't feel right when you're gone...away
You don't feel me here...anymore
We stopped singing and heard someone clapping. We turned sharply towards the door and noticed a man standing their smiling and clapping.
"Wow guys. That was incredible. You are all extremely talented," He said. "I'm Mr. Schuester by the way."
We watched warily as he walked over to the stage and up the steps.
"You guys should seriously consider joining glee club," He said to us. We stood there looking at him stunned.
"Sir, with all do respect, we don't sing in public," Blaise said carefully.
"But you four have such great talent. The emotion in your voice is amazing," Mr. Schuester said determinedly.
"Can we think about it first sir?" I asked. I could see Blaise and the boys were getting riled up.
"Of course. We have glee practice tomorrow afternoon if you want to come and watch," Mr. Schuester said. We nodded and picked up our things before walking past him and out to our next class.

The rest of the day went by quickly. I only noticed the foreign students in a few classes and I noticed they stuck together like glue. They ate lunch in silence and ignored everyone around them. At one point we all watched as Jew-fro walked over to their table and said something to Hermione. Dean, Draco and Blaise jumped to their feet in anger and we knew Jew-fro had pissed them off.
Hermione on the other hand, calmly stood up and held out her arm. The three boys sat down but continued glaring at Jew-fro. Hermione turned back to Jacob who was grinning like a freak. He lifted his arm to touch her arm and we all watched stunned as she pulled back her arm and punched him straight in the jaw. As he crumpled to the ground Hermione turned back to her lunch calmly and resumed eating.
Jacob continued writhing on the ground in pain as Hermione finished her lunch and the four of them walked over his body (with Hermione slamming her foot onto his stomach as she walked over him).
We all got into our cars after school and drove towards my house where we had planned to have a movie night. I opened the door and was assaulted by the smell of my mum's cooking.
"Hey mum," I called as we all walked into the kitchen. We found all our parents and walked over to them.
"Hey honey," She said as she rushed around the kitchen. My little sister Hannah raced over to me and wrapped her arms around my legs in a hug.
"What is all this for daddy?" Rachel asked as her dads packed a few baskets.
"Some new people have just moved into the house down the street. We are packing them up a few gift baskets as a welcome gift," Alan Berry explained.
"We met them today - Hermione, Draco, Dean and Blaise right?" Finn asked.
"Yea. We don't know about their parents though so we'll find out soon. We are just waiting for Will then we'll head over," Carole said. Mr. Schuester had moved out of his apartment and into a house on the same street as us when his divorce was finalised.
Mr. Schuester arrived soon with his small contribution and we all headed down to Mrs. Johnston's old house. Mum knocked on the door and we waited. The door opened slowly and Hermione smiled out at us.
"Hello," She said softly. I looked her up and down and noticed she had gotten changed. She was now wearing a pair of denim short shorts and a black, tight fitting t-shirt. I noticed the scars again and I noticed more on her legs.
"Hi there. I'm Aviva Puckerman. We just wanted to welcome you to Lima," Mum said with a huge grin.
"Oh please, come in," Hormone said. She moved aside and let us walk in. I walked in last and got a huge whiff of her amazing scent. She shut the door behind us and we followed her into the living room.
"Please have a seat. The boys should be back soon. They have gone food shopping which should be an adventure," She said with a fond smile. "Can I get you anything to drink?"
"Tea would be lovely," Alan said. Hermione smiled and took the offered gift baskets. She walked into the kitchen and we heard the kettle start boiling.
"Hey, look at this," Quinn said. We looked over to were she was standing and noticed four gold medals placed in frames with a plaque underneath each one that read For Bravery and Courage in the Presence of Danger.
"Their parents must have won them," Burt said after Quinn read the plaques out. Hermione soon walked back into the room carrying a large tray of tea, cups and biscuits. She placed the tea on the table and served everyone before serving herself and sitting down on the love seat.
"So Hermione, tell us about yourself," Mum said.
"Well, I'm turning 17 in a few weeks, I used to live in London before we moved here and I went to boarding school with Draco, Dean and Blaise in Scotland," Hermione said.
Hermione told us a bit more about herself and we told her some stuff about us until Kate (Matt's mum) asked the question on everyone's mind.
"What about your parents?" We noticed Hermione's face drop and Kate looked apologetic "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry."
"No, its ok. Um, that's a bit weird actually. Draco's father is in prison and his mother is in a psychiatric ward in London, Blaise's parents disowned him and both my parents and Dean's have passed away," Hermione finished softly. I could see tears building and I resisted the urge to hug her.
"So you are here alone?" My mum asked.
"Ah sort of. We are wards of our headmaster. He has to stay in Scotland to run the school but he will be visiting every so often to check up on us. Our headmaster also informed us that Draco has a distant family member who lives here and she can check up on us if necessary. He has set up funds for us to help pay for food and bills and what not plus Draco, Dean and I have inherited our parent's estates," Hermione explained.
"Wow. You guys are really brave to move here after facing that," Tina said softly.
"We had to adjust. We lived with a friend for a few months but the house got too crowded and we wanted a change of scenery," Hermione explained. We heard three car doors slam and the front door opened.
"Tesoro, you home?" A voice called. Draco, Dean and Blaise walked into the room carrying shopping bags.
"Obviously. How did shopping go?" Hermione asked with a smile.
"It was interesting," Draco and Blaise said.
"It was embarrassing," Dean said. "These two are never allowed to go shopping with me again. You can take them next time."
"What did they do?" Hermione asked.
"They were pulling everything off the shelves and examining it like children. They wanted to buy one of everything," Dean said as Draco and Blaise looked at the ground. We all exchanged a look because surely supermarkets weren't that interesting.
"Dean, you need to remember that these two grew up different to us. They never had to go shopping - the servants did that for them. Now, go and put the shopping away and make sure the cold stuff goes in the fridge or freezer," Hermione said with a fond smile. The boys kissed her cheek as they walked into the kitchen. Hermione turned back to us and grinned.
"How did you four become friends?" Mum asked after a while.
"Well, Dean and I have been friends since our first year of school but Blaise, Draco and I only really became friends a year or so ago. Before that we hated each other," Hermione explained.
"Wow, I would never have guessed. You guys are heaps close now," Quinn commented. Hermione smiled softly and the three boys waked back into the room. They introduced themselves and started answering questions about themselves.
"Well, we should head off and let you finish settling in. If you ever need anything, our numbers are in the basket. Welcome to Lima," Mum said. We all stood up and walked to the front door. Hermione, Blaise, Draco and Dean waved to us as we walked away before going back inside.
That night as I lay in bed, all I could think about was Hermione, how gorgeous she was and why she was covered in scars.
Hey guys. I know I shouldn't keep starting stories but this one has been eating at my brain and was refusing to let me study. I hope you enjoy it. My trials start on Monday and will be over on Friday so then I have a week and a bit off to relax. I will write more then. I promise. Please review and alert – they are what are getting me through this very stressful time. I love you all. I promise to update my other stories ASAP.
