Monday morning is always the hardest, since it's the beginning of the week. A young woman was getting up and doing her morning routine as she was getting ready to start her junior year. She had just moved back Atlanta. She was anxious and nervous to see her friends again. She hadn't seen them since the summer before all of them started 9th grade. Of course they shared pictures and face time each other but nothing beats being there in person.
Hermione looked at herself in the mirror. She had defiantly changed since the last time she was in Atlanta. Her bushy hair was tamed and falling down her back in soft natural curls, she had lost some of her baby fat and was now an hourglass. She was still the bookworm of the family but didn't showed it as much. She dressed in a fitted t-shirt and some sweats as well as her ugg boots. She was putting on her lipgloss when she heard her mother yell for her. Hermione hurried down the stairs and appeared in the kitchen.
"Buongiorno padre. Buongiorno mamma." Hermione said quietly.
"Good morning Mia" her father said with her nickname.
"Are you ready to be back in school?" Her mother asked.
"Yes mamma, I'm happy I'm back home." Hermione smiled.
"Make sure you tell Blaise hello for me" her father said.
"naturalmente papa" Hermione said kissing her parents goodbye.
Hermione drove her car to the school, she parked in the student section and sat in the car for a minute. This was the moment, she was about to see her friends and cousin for the first time in two years. Hermione took a deep breathe and got out of the car. She noticed that a few students were hanging out in the parking lot with friends and just chatting. Hermione walked to the front of the school. She saw a few familiar faces and she waved at them. Some waved back, others stared in shock. She got to the school and pulled the door open. She smiled and walked to the office. She reported to the principal who made her sign some papers and handed her locker assignment and schedule for the semester. Hermione walked out the office and started to walk around. She looked for her friends or cousin. She walked pass a hallway and back tracked because she saw someone she knew. Hermione turned into the hallway and walked right up and behind the person.
"Hello cugino." Hermione said softly.
The young man turned around at the voice. His face was priceless in Hermione's mind.
"MIA! Oh my god, non posso credere che sei tornato! come sono zia e lo zio?" He stated happily.
"Blaise calm down! It's good to see you too." Hermione laughed as she hugged him.
"Wow. Mia you have grown up and may I say into a beautiful young woman." Blaise said with a smile.
"Thank you Blaise, u have grown up nicely too." Hermione said looking at her cousin, who had to be 6'3 now. Hermione stared at Blaise he was fit in all the right places, he sported the indigo eyes that were a trait for the Zabini's.
Hermione caught up with Blaise as they walked down the hallway to Hermione's locker. Blaise pointed out different things as they walked past it. They stopped and Hermione said hello to his friends, Theo and Marcus, who couldn't believe that Hermione was back. As they rounded the corner, Hermione was tackled by two males. Hermione let out a squeal and a laugh. When Hermione pulled back she saw her two best friends. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. She looked at her friends and noticed like Blaise they were taller than the last time she saw them. Harry still had his crazy untidy hair but it suited him. He was a little tan, probably from the summer. His eyes were still the emerald gems but he wore contacts now so they shined more clearly. Ron was buff and fit. Hermione had to thank the gods for football. Ron's hair was longer than she remembered, it was almost at his shoulders. His blue eyes shine with happiness as he stared at her. Hermione smiled and hugged them again.
"I've missed you" she said looking at her boys.
"Blimey Hermione we've missed you. But look at you! You are gorgeous!" Harry said with a big smile.
"Hush you, I'm still me. I've just grown up" Hermione said pushing Harry.
"Holy hell, is that Hermione Alessandra Zabini?!" A voice said behind Hermione.
Hermione turned around and almost cried. Standing in front of her was her best friend from kindergarten. Hermione smiled with tears in her eyes. She hugged her female friend with such emotion. Moving away was harder for Hermione because it meant moving away from Kylie.
"What have you done to my Mia? Who's this baddie that's in front of me right now" Kylie said laughing.
"Kylie Elizabeath Jeans." Hermione tutted.
"Well I'm serious!" Kylie said.
A bell rang letting the students that the first class was going to start. Everyone asked Hermione was her first class and she showed them her schedule. She had he first two classes with Kylie and Blaise and her third and last class with Harry and Ron. Everyone split ways and headed to class. The first part of the day was okay for Hermione. She got caught up quickly in each class and the teachers introduce her every time. She talked to a few kids that she remember from middle school and new students as well. By the time lunch time came Kylie was waiting on Hermione to walk her to the cafeteria. Hermione walked into the crowded cafeteria and followed Kylie to the line. While they were waiting in line Blaise came in with his friends. Hermione looked at him and waved, she froze for a second and then looked at Kylie.
"Is that Draco Malfoy with Blaise?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, they are friends. Best friends, I believe." Kylie said looking at Blaise and Malfoy.
"I guessed I've missed a lot." Hermione said.
"Yeah, they became friends because of the classes they have with each other and as well as basketball" Kylie said taking a plate of food.
Hermione and Kylie sat down at the table in the corner. The chatted and caught up with each other lives. Kylie was explaining her trip to Hawaii when Blaise came over and sat down with them, as well as Draco Malfoy.
"Hello ladies." Blaise said with a smile.
"Now that I'm back, you're not going to let me breathe are you?" Hermione teased Blaise.
"Esattamente" Blaise laughed as Hermione smacked him playfully.
"Mia, this Draco Malfoy. You remember him?" Kylie said with a small smile.
"Of course. Who wouldn't." Hermione said stiffly.
"Mia." Blaise said with a warning tone.
"What? Don't look at me like that?! Egli è quello che mi vittima di bullismo!" Hermione said.
"Mia? I don't remember a Mia." Malfoy said ignoring Hermione's rant.
"Mia is short for Hermione." Hermione stated.
"Bushy head bookworm?" Malfoy said in surprise.
Hermione glared at Malfoy. Of course he would be the one to befriend her cousin. He was one of the reasons why she was so nervous to come back. Draco Malfoy always teased her in middle school. Talked about her hair, her baby fat and her study habits. Hermione was still sensitive to it since at her other school a girl did the same through her freshman year. Blaise smacked Malfoy's side of the head for his stupid remark.
"I-I'm sorry. I'm just shocked, that's all" Malfoy said rubbing his head.
"Way to filter your mouth Draco" Blaise said looking at his friend.
"Anyways, so tell us . Where exactly were you?" Kylie said ignoring the boys.
"We were in California. It was beautiful." Hermione said laughing at Kylie.
"I've heard it is, so why did you , Zia and Zio move back? Not that I'm complaing" Blaise smiled at Hermione.
"Papa wanted to come back , he missed his sister." Hermione winked at Blaise.
Hermione answered all their questions of where had she been and if she liked it better out there or Atlanta. As Hermione talked to her best friends and cousin she watched Malfoy from the corner of the eye. She noticed that he was listening to her talk but at the same time he was working on an assignment. Hermione shifted in her chair so that she could get a better look at Malfoy with out anyone noticing. She noticed that he had changed from middle school. He was leaner and fit. His shoulders where wider, most likely because of a sport he played Hermione thought. He was as tall as Blaise. Hermione looked back at her cousin and sneak a glance at Malfoy. Blaise and him were totally opposites, Blaise was tan , darker hair and indigo eyes as Malfoy was a little lighter in skin and blond and his eyes were crystal blue. They continue until the lunch hour was up. Hermione walked to her last classes and she had a blast. She met new people and reintroduce herself to the people she hadn't seen since middle school. At the end of the school she walked back to the office and let them know that the classes she had were fine, but let them know that the last class of the day she had taken back in California. The assistant principal said she would give her a free period since she still hadn't received her transfer papers from her other school. Hermione said her good byes and walked to the parking lot which was much more fuller than this morning. She walked by some students who waved and other who cat called. Hermione shook her head, she was getting close to her car when she heard her name being called. She turned around and saw Ron.
"Hey Ron, what's up?" Hermione said looking up at him.
"Nothing much, I wanted to ask you, what are you doing in an hour?" Ron said smiling.
"Nothing really." Hermione said
"Come to the field and watch our practice." Ron said excitedly.
"Practice?" Hermione said confused.
"Yes. Harry Ron and Blaise , we play soccer, at least I do when I'm not playing on the football team. Even Malfoy plays. Come watch us." Ron said pleading.
"Okay, sure. Let me put my stuff in the car." Hermione said smiling.
"Cool" Ron said smiling and pointing were the fields where.
This is going to interesting Hermione thought as she put her stuff in the car and walked to the fields.
