NOW ON WITH THE STORY! WHOO HOO!

My hearts got a mind of it's own

Won't listen to a word I say

Doesn't It know that I get hurt, too,

When it acts that way

Cos when It breaks, I brake

I don't know how much more of this

I can take

Doesn't it know that I get hurt, too,

When it acts that way

Hermione Granger ran a hand through her now shoulder length, honey brown locks of hair. She looked down at her lap, and opened her begie purse, and took out her candyfloss, flavored lip-gloss, and carefully ran it across her full bottom lip; the car ride was a very bumpy one.

Hermione was on her way to King Crossings, to go back to Hogwarts for her 5th year. She wondered why she was so nervous. Probably, because she would see Harry, the boy whom she grew to love. 'That's CRAZY you can't be in love! You're only 14 for merlin sake! Well, almost 15, but still!' she thought to herself.

She was also wondering about the attention and reaction she would reacive. Hermione changed over the summer.

Her full, black eye lashes complemented her cinnimion colored eyes. She had curled her eye lashes to make her face look more dolly, she had on black eye-liner on her uper lid, and lower. She also had on a bit of peachie eye shadow, mixed in with some white. She had on a lite pink blush too. She wasn't wearing her black robes, but a satin peach button up shirt sleeves. She wore a white mini shirt, and a pair of white heel less shoes. She wore a pearl necklace and pearl earrings.

She never used to care about what she looked like, but, over the summer, she knew she coulden't be known as 'the bushy haired bookworm'. Plus, she wanted for once to get some boys attention. She managed to capture Viktor Krum, Ron Weaslys, and maybe, even if it was just alittle bit, of Harry's. So, she decided that it was time for a change. She put the lip gloss back into her purse, and continued to stare out the window. Her mom looked over to Hermione, and smiled.

"Don't worry, Mione. People will love you, know matter what." Her mother said, as if she knew what Hermione was thinking Hermione looked at her mom, and nodded.

"Thanks, mum." She said, then stared out the window again.

About 30 minutes later, they arrived at the Train Station. Hermione stepped out of their Sliver ML55 AMG Mercedes-Benz. Her mom opened the trunk, and they got out her things, and put them on a cart that Hermione went and got, and then set off for Platform 9 ¾.

Hermione looked around for Harry and Ron; she didn't see them. 'They must not be here yet…' she thought glumy to herself. She turned to her mom and hugged her.

"I'll see you at Christmas, Mione dear. Have fun." Hermione's mom said.

"Goodbye, mummy. I love you." Hermione said. They broke from the hug.

"I love you too, babes." Hermione's mom said, smiling. Hermione looked around, seeing if anyone was watching her. No one was, so she went ahead and ran into the wall between platforms, 9 and 10.

When she reached the other side, she saw a bunch of Hogwarts student's already there, laughing and chatting with their friends. Hermione spotted Lavender and Pavarti staring at her, with their mouths hanging open alittle. They then looked at each other and walked towards her. 'Oh god.'

"Hermione! Is that you?" Lavender exclaimed. Hermione nodded her head.


"Yeah, it's me." She replied, shyly.

"You look goregeous!" Pavarti said. Hermione smiled.

"Thanks." She said. The three then began to walk towards the back of the train to load their things onto it. They then walked towards the entrance of the 5th year train area's.

"So why the change?" Lavender asked. Hermione shrugged.

"I don't know, really. I guess I was just tired of begin a 'ugly duckling'." Hermione said.

"Well, you sure blossomed into a swan, Herm." Lavender smiled. Hermione giggled.

"Thanks, Lav."
