Rein sat on the railing of her deck overlooking the gardens. She had changed over the summer, she had realized that she wasn't really Hermione Granger after all, her parents were purebloods from one of the richest and highest royal families in ancient Egypt. When they had had her they had decided for her safety that they would go into hiding and take a different name until she was at least seventeen when she would be accepted into the Egyptian society. They had even gone so far as to put powerful concealing charms on all three of them so the even looked like a mud blood family.
When they had announced this on Hermione's seventeenth birthday they had hit her all at once, they moved back to Egypt to a palace they went back to being of pureblood and royal decent, her father went back to serving his high position in the government, and the most surprising of all they removed the physical concealing spells. Hermione had also become accustom to everyone calling her by her real name Rein Dianni, although Hermione was her real middle name (or one of them at least, at the moment she couldn't put her finger on which one).
Hermione slowly got down and walked back into her room, which she was surprised when she first saw how open and breezy it was. She stood in front of the full length mirror looking at her new form, she was amazed at how different she looked her skin had become more tan and almost unblemished, her hair had gotten longer and now fell in beautiful golden brown loops down her back to her waist, she had gotten taller and thinner a lot more athletic looking, and her face had gotten slimmer with higher cheek bones, with straight white teeth. She shook her head she had also been convinced to give up her clothing for the light and elegant Egyptian garments.
Hermione sunk back into her bed, she couldn't help but think about everything that had changed, but at least she would be going to her last year at Hogwarts as head girl and she would see Ron and Harry again, although they knew her secret they couldn't see her till school started. She was looking forward to it, the only thing that she had had to give was that she had to wear her modernized Egyptian clothing at school and she had to attend to her duties to the government over which she would in the near future she would advise.
Only two more months and she would be back to the one thing that had stayed the same this summer and she would see all her friends again…….
Hermione granger walked onto the nine and three quarters platform in her school uniform (she had gotten out of wearing the clothes for the first day but was still forced into wearing the make up and had her hair flowing behind her with golden ribbons magically woven in), she had her trunks and bags shrunk and in the pocket of her robes.
She was interested by the fact that she, even after her physical change resembled the old Hermione just five times as beautiful.
Hermione stepped on to the train aware of all of the eyes of other students focused on her; she walked down the isle to the usual compartment and took a breath sliding the door open. She stepped in the room noting the presence of Ron, Harry, Ginny, Lavender, and too her surprise McGonagall.
As someone entered the room Harry looked up, and his breath caught, there standing in front of him was a tall slim and drop dead gorgeous what seemed to be Egyptian girl. Ron didn't even bother to look up neither did Ginny, But McGonagall definitely noticed and it did not take her long to know who it was, she smiled.
"Can I help you," Harry managed to regain composure and say with a slight bit of confidence that he still had.
Hermione looked at him, crossed her arms and spoke "Come of it Harry, I haven't seen you in months the least you could do is give me a hug!"
Harry looked at the girl like she was crazy, then his mouth dropped open, now he saw the head badge, he knew she had head this year and as he looked her up and down again he could see the resemblance, Hermione had said that she had been wearing a concealing charm the whole time but, Merlin he didn't know that she would look like this.
"Shit, Hermione?" Harry mumbled barley audible but Hermione got the idea from his open mouth.
That was when Ron looked up hearing Hermione's name; He nearly had a heart attack at the sight before him. "BLOODY HELL, Who are you?'
Hermione got fed up with the dramatic reactions "Would you two shut up and quit cussing at me, and Ronald you know bloody well who I am, I've only been writing to you lot all summer now quit fussing I already told you I looked different!"
Ginny and the other girls did not react as strongly but were still aghast at the difference between the old and new Hermione.
Hermione was suddenly smothered in a giant hug from both boys who had apparently gotten over the shock.
"God Hermione you look fantastic and like an….. Um….. Egyptian, I guess" Ginny said as she hugged her.
Hermione rolled her eyes "I would hope so."
McGonagall interrupted their little reunion "as much as I'm enjoying this I must let Miss. Dianni continue on her way to the heads compartment before we begin our travel to the castle.
"Bye I'll see all of you at dinner." Hermione said before she disappeared into the hallway and her footsteps faded.
