A/N: Hi! This is just a new fiction that I've had running around in my head for sometime now, and wouldn't go away until I wrote it down! If you are a reader of my other two fictions, I'm soooo sorry! I just haven't had the inspiration come to me! Whereas with this fiction I have half of it already written. The first chapter of this is quite short, I have to admit, but they get a LOT longer, I promise! There will be twelve one shots, one for each month, and depending on how the readers (YOU!) like it I might do an epilogue or something. I have completely changed dates around, made the characters different and just changed it completely! So yeah… Draco is TOTALLY out of character. But I normally write him as he is in the books, but not this time! Anyway this is REALLY long…so I'll go. See you at the bottom! P.S, this is a Fred/Hermione fiction, but this one has no interaction between them. Sorry! Next chapter, I promise.
January
On January 25th, a new friendship was formed. It was the first day back after the first Christmas holidays, Hermione was bidding her farewells to her parents, ready to return to Hogwarts, the beloved school she had grown rather fond of, and all the glories it possessed. She was also eager to return to Harry and Ron, who she had also become fond of, but she would never tell them that in a million years.
As she was about to go through the wall to the platform, she heard a voice go 'your Hermione Granger aren't you?' turning round Hermione saw a small redhead, no bigger than her shoulders, who had the bright red hair that could only belong to a Weasley. 'yes'' she replied. 'Your Ron's sister aren't you? Its Ginny, isn't it?''
Ginny squealed in happiness about being recognised, unable to say anything, but she didn't need to because, at that moment, her mother came rushing through the crowd, no doubt looking for her daughter. ''GINNY! What HAVE I told you about running off like that when we are in London! Honestly, you'd forget your head if it were- oh hello'' she said, finally noticing Hermione.
''Hello. I'm Hermione. I'm a friend of Ron's?'
'Oh yes, he's mentioned you a few times. Ginny, why did you run off like that?'' Ginny shuffled around awkwardly. ''I only wanted to see if I could see any of Ron's friends, and I did! I found Hermione so I went to say hi to her!''
'its true Mrs Weasley, she only came over to say hello' Hermione said quickly, not wanting Ginny to get into any more trouble than necessary.
Mrs weasley looked at them both thoughtfully for a minute, before saying 'Alright then. We must be going Ginny, its nearly eleven o clock and Hermione has a train to catch I'm sure. And Hermione?'' she said, turning to Hermione, 'Try and get Ronald to at least TRY at school this term'' Hermione promised she would fervently.
''Will you come and stay with us in the summer Hermione? You will won't you?'' Ginny asked. Hermione looked over to Mrs Weasley who seemed to have nothing against her daughter asking another girl she had just met to spend time with them that summer.
''Of course I will!'' the last that Hermione saw and heard of the two redheads was Ginny squealing in happiness, and Mrs Weasley dragging her daughter away, saying they needed to go shopping, while wishing a good term to Hermione. As Hermione sat down on the train, she thought to herself that she and Ginny would become good friends. And friends they became.
As the years went on, Hermione was almost never apart from Harry and Ron, but there was a special place in her heart reserved just for Ginny, who she went to whenever the boys were being oafs, which was quite a lot. Ginny and Hermione were each others maid of honours, were there at the birth of each others first child, and had nights out which no one could top, just the two of them.
Hermione never did let Ginny forget their first proper meeting, to which she was rewarded with a fierce punch to the arm. Hermione lost track of the amount of bruises she would have on her arm each week, but that didn't matter, they were only having fun.
A/N: There we go! Its terrible, but they get better as we go on, I promise. It is quite short, as I said but they get longer, as I also said! If I get a few follows, and one or two reviews, I'll post the next chapter really soon, as I'm ill right now and have a lot of time on my hands. Plus its already written. See you soon!
