*Chapter 1*

One stormy afternoon in the heart of London, a teenage girl sat sipping on a large cup of hot tea. No one seemed to notice her as she read the newest issue of Witch Weekly in the crowded corner of a coffee shop, surrounded by many shopping bags and misshapen parcels, full of magical objects and such.

Her name was Hermione Granger, and she was indeed a witch. She was sixteen years old, and extremely clever. She had two best friends, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter, who she usually bought her school supplies with. Not this time. She was a little frightened, and very nervous about seeing them again. She had changed so much, that she was afraid they wouldn't recognize her, or they could even walk right past her. She was to meet them in five minutes.

Her usual bushy, outdated hairstyle had been replaced by long, cascading auburn waves down her back, and her cloths were DFEINITALY NOT out of style, she was wearing bright red short shorts, and a navy blue shirt that said: PROPERTY OF OLD NAVY.

She sat reminiscing past school years and summers when she saw them; she quickly looked down at her magazine hopeing that they would recognize her, and then it happened.

Ron looked her way and just stared and whispered "Hermioe?"

He started walking over and fell flat on his face and Harry doubled over in laughter while Hermione ran over to Ron.

"Ron are you ok?" Hermione asked

"Fine!" Ron exclaimed as stood up still staring at Hermione. Ron had definitely grown since the last time she had seen him 2 months ago.

Just then Ginny ran in "Oh Hermione you look so great!" said Ginny as she ran across the room to hug Hermione.

They embraced and Harry came over, "group hug!" As he enveloped Hermione and Ginny in a hug.

Hermione's parents had shipped her trunk to the Weasley's house last week and Hermione met Harry, Ron, and Ginny at the café after she was done with her shopping in Diagon Alley so they could get a ride in a ministry car to the Burrow.

"Ready to go?" asked Ginny as she picked up some of Hermiones shopping bags

"Yea," said Hermione as she picked up her magazine put on her coat and walked into the rain.
