I do not own Harry Potter, but I really wish I did.

I stared out the window of the Hogwarts Express, blocking out the world mentally. To the wizarding world I was the 'know it all granger'. At home I was a totally different person, strange to believe I was actually popular before I left muggle schooling to come here.

Looking back at my friends whom I shared the compartment with, Ron sulking in the corner as Lavender 'not so discreetly' passed by the window again. Harry and Ginny on the other half of the compartment, fighting, and their newest lovers spat. Ginny glanced at me from the corner of her eye, as if seeing my eyes pass around. Her bright red hair was in a simple fishtail braid on the side of her head, her bright eyes shooting daggers at Harry.

As the train grew closer to Kings Cross, I pulled the letter I had received a few weeks ago from my purse.

Mi,

Guess what! Your parents let me use the owl to send you a letter. I just wanted to let you know I have giant plans for us this summer. I even convinced your parents to let us go on a shopping trip to Paris. I love your parents so much more than your dear Aunt Gertrude. Seriously Mi, she got another cat, it's at eleven cats now. This one is named Eyeball… that woman needs help.

But, back to the other great news! Your parents, who love me so much more than my mother ever would. Have agreed to let me pick you up from the station, so Miss Granger, be ready to hug your amazing cousin when you come home. At platform 9 ¾ we shall meet. We really to miss you when you're away at school Mi.

Hugs and Kisses!

I didn't notice Ginny's eyes on me as I folded the letter back up into a tiny square. Ron spoke up before she could.

"Hey 'Mione, what's that letter? I see you reading it all the time. Boyfriend back home?" I elbowed him in the side.

"No, it's actually my older cousin Patrick. He's picking me up from the train station."

"Can we meet him?" Harry piped in, wanting to meet someone new. He never liked all of the publicity for being 'The boy who lived'.

"Sure Harry, I'm sure he would love to meet my friends. My parents even told him how to get into the platform." Ginny's soft voice spoke up.

"Am I still able to come visit whenever?"

"Of course Gin! Floo over whenever you want. Sorry boys, my dad would probably have a heart attack if you stepped through the floo." The boys understood now, they were not allowed over my house. Which... I never told them the whole truth.

The train skidded to a stop at the platform, as excited as I was; I was the first person out of the cabin and running towards the platform. Hagrid had already put my trunk on a trolley as well as Crookshanks in his cage right on top.

"Have a good summer Erminie." I gave him a small smile pushing the trolley to find Patrick.

The platform was crowded with students and families. I searched for his familiar brown hair, almost as unruly as mine.

"Mama Mia!" I heard his voice cut through the crowd. I found his face, but to find that his hair was a bright shade of purple.

"Patty!" I jumped into his arms for a hug, "What the hell did you do to your hair?!" I could hear Harry and Ginny's arguing coming closer. Patrick set me back on the ground, a slight blush on his cheeks. "I'll explain later, now introduce me to your friends." I smiled looping my arm with his.

"This is Harry and Ron, my friends since first year. And this is Ginny, Ron's younger sister." He smiled at everyone shaking Harry and Ron's hands. When it came to Ginny, he picked her up and spun her around in a hug. "It's nice to finally meet the beautiful Ginerva Weasely." Ginny looked up at him with a goofy smile after he had put her down. "Now if you'll excuse us, Patty and I have to go do some talking. Bye guys!"

We left Kings Cross and while we were in the car Patrick turned to me.

"So they still have no idea you're a lesbian?"

AN, so I haven't written fanfiction in years. Yes this story will eventually turn out Ginny/Hermione, if anyone has ideas, feel free to leave them in a review.
