Hermione Granger's life has changed in a matter of weeks. In the Muggle world, she's famous, a model, and just five weeks ago, she meant the gorgeous punk/rock star, Ryan. Can she hold on to him, and how will people at Hogwarts react to her new look?

It's the first full day back at Hogwarts, and people's reactions towards Hermione are changing fast, like a plague. Sometimes all the goggling eyes seem too much, sometimes she's afraid that they're going to burst her ego. Hermione doesn't want to change in character, so why is everyone else around her changing in reaction?

“I have something to tell you.” It was hard to put into words, but she knew that sooner or later, they’d find out anyway. She might as well allow them to have it the gentle way - “I-I’ve made friends with Dra - Malfoy.”

“I have to - have to tell you something.”
“The thing is, Ryan - can we, can we pull over?”
“I’m - I’m not who you think I am,” she began hesitantly.
“Ryan, I’m a - I’m a witch.”

An eventful chapter, me thinks!!

There's more Draco here for you lot!!

Now it's time to unpick Blaise Zabini

“Of course I’m pleased to see you,” smiled Hermione, regaining herself again, slipping out of the speechless mode and returning the kiss, trying to act as if nothing was wrong. She leant back and stroked the soft hair from Ryan’s face and burned her eyes with his. “I love you! But this is - it’s just such a surprise! What on earth are you doing here?”

“But,” protested Hermione, “why would you need to? I told you, Ryan’s completely trustworthy! He’d rather die than breathe a word to anyone.”

Dumbledore sighed. “He might have to.”

“Oh, very clever,” came the cold, hissing voice of Lucius Malfoy, his hair streaming out as silver down the length of his back, gleaming softly in the moonlight. He still wore his mask, but his deadly grey eyes flashed maliciously behind it. He stood with his wand pointed towards them in the alleyway, and when Hermione glanced in the opposite direction, there were two others blocking their escape. “I’d wondered when you were going to latch on, Mudblood.”

Not all is as it should be . . . If you haven't picked up on this by now, then I'm hugely surprised - I have dropped several hints!!

The conclusion

I accidentally deleted this chapter and all its reviews. :( Here it is again.
