Chapter 1. I made it
It's been two months since the battle in Hogwarts ended. Hermione went to the castle with Harry and Ron to see Professor McGonagall and to borrow some books to her for the spell she's currently doing in order to make her parent's memory about her regain. She's doing this spell for almost 3 weeks already and she can't wait to finish it and go back to London – to the muggle world where her parents live. While walking to the corridors of Hogwarts the 3 of them felt a bit strange. It's almost like it's not the same old corridor they're always walking through for the past 6 years. Some part of it is still ruin and the trace from the war still remains. "Blimey! This place looks weird now" Ron said as they walk by the corridor. After a while they reach the marble stairs Hermione turn around and see the big difference of the castle some portrait are still empty, only few lights are used and a voice from the 5th floor echoed until the place they are standing. The voice is form Peevees, the poltergeist who's the only one who never change he's still the noisy Peevees who's keeping the students in danger. Harry, Ron and Hermione greeted Peeves which makes him surprise, no student ever greeted him like how the 3 of them him. Then they continued walking until they reach professor McGonagall's office. Hermione knock the door and Professor McGonagall open.
"Oh it's you 3" said Professor McGonagall looking surprise seeing her 3 students in the castle. "What took you here Miss. Granger?" She added.
"Uhmmm. Professor I need a help form you". Hermione said directly to Professor McGonagall.
"What is it that you want Miss. Granger? She asks.
"Oh by the way, Please sit down Miss Granger and you two and Mr. Weasley" she added.
"Can I borrow some books form the library?" Ask Hermione while helping herself to sit down.
"Yes you can my dear. You can borrow any books you want" Professor McGonagall replied smiling. Hermione quickly hug her like how she hugs her mother and Professor McGonagall hugs her back. While the two hugging Harry and Ron are also busy looking at the view through the window form professor McGonagall's office.
"Nostalgic isn't it?" Professor asks them.
Yeah! A bit. Harry replied but it's kinda weird too professor, He added.
It's just for a moment Potter soon it will be back to normal again. Professor McGonagall replied and then she smiled at them.
Professor McGonagall walk with them to the library, at the library Hermione quickly went to the restricted section where she knows were the book is. Professor left behind along with Harry and Ron and she ask them
'Why she needs some book form restricted section."
"She's working on a spell to make her parents memory about her regain." Ron Replied. Hermione went back to where she left Professor McGonagall, Harry and Ron is and this time she's already carrying the book she needed.
"Finally!" She said. Professor McGonagall smiles at her and said
"I know you can do it Miss. Granger."
"Thank you Professor" she replied. After Hermione found the book they left the library, "Professor if you don't mind we will be leaving now" Hermione said.
"Not a Problem to me" Professor McGonagall replied. Hermione, Harry and Ron was about to leave the room when Professor McGonagall told them
"My dear please come back this Friday, I have to tell you something important."
"Why do we have to wait until Friday Professor?" Ron asks.
"Can you tell us about it now?" Harry added.
"I need to tell it on Friday Mr. Potter and ." Harry and Ron look at each other. Yes we will professor; Hermione said and smile at her.
"And please bring along Miss. Ginny Weasley with you." Professor McGonagall added. And then the 3 of them leave.
While on the way home Harry and Ron didn't stop thinking about what maybe Professor McGonagall will tell them. They stop by The Three Broomstick and decided to drink some butter beer. Hermione refuse to go with them and directly went back to the Weasley's house where she and Harry are staying while the two boys stay at Hogsmade. Hermione is so eager to finish the spell, she miss her parents already specially her mom. Night and day she keeps of doing the spells. Finally Friday morning come and she's done working on the spell it's also the same day professor McGonagall told them to visit the school. After preparing the things she need when she go home- She, Harry, Ron and Ginny went to Hogwarts as what Professor McGonagall told them the last time they visit the school. They apparate on the way to Hogsmade, as they walk on the way to Hogwarts they saw familiar faces, Their schoolmates from different houses they saw a group from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and of course form Gryffindor. They walk toward the group of Gryffindor they saw.
"What are you doing here?" Hermione ask Lavander Brown as they saw her.
"I don't know. Professor McGonagall just send some owl to my parents and they told me to be here."
"That's the same thing my parent's told us" said Parvati their other Gryffindor housemate who also have a twin sister Padama in Ravenclaw.
"Well, Maybe she gave all our parents a letter" Ginny added.
"But she didn't give mom a letter, aren't they?" Ask Ron.
"Of course she gave them one Nossy" Ginny replied to her clueless brother.
"Blimey! I don't know that" said Ron.
"I think we have to go to the castle, Professor McGonagall might be waiting for us" Said Harry.
So the group head there way to Hogwarts, upon entering the castle they meet Mr. Flich and his cat Mrs. Norris waited for them and told them that they have to gather in the great hall. They stayed in the Great Hall and wait for Professor McGonagall to arrive. While waiting the atmosphere in Great Hall change they are now civil with each other. You can see some Slytherin students talking to other girls and boys from different houses. Hermione together with Ginny and Luna Lovegood were talking with other girls when they saw Pansy Parkinson walking towards where they are. Luna greeted Pansy like an old friend
"Hi!" Pansy greeted Hermione and Ginny shyly the two was surprise but then they greeted them too.
"We meet one day after the Battle of Hogwarts, she greeted me and I greeted her too and since then we start talking" Luna told Hermione and Ginny.
"I just want to say Sorry to you Gr- Hermione and Ginny" said Pansy with a sincere look in the face. Hermione go near to Pansy and hug her, Pansy was surprise with Hermione's reaction but she also hug her back. Ginny went close to them and give Pansy a Hug too. Suddenly Professor McGonagall arrives and walks directly in front facing the four long tables in the Great Hall. And like they used to do the entire student sit in there respective house table. Hermione look around the Slytherin's table it looks like she's looking for someone.
"Feels like someone is missing in that table" she said while still looking at the Slytherin's table
. "Yeah! Draco Malfoy is not around" Said Ron who is looking at her.
"Well, That makes me feel relax not seeing him, hope it will be forever" Hermione Replied to Ron. Professor McGonagall is now standing in front she clears her voice and said
"Good morning everyone. Most of you don't know why you are here this time. We all know that the battle has just ended and some of you are still afraid of going back, well it's because you still remember what happened during the war and I'm sorry for that. The thing that makes you went back here today is because I want to tell you that for the next school opening Hogwarts is still here to welcome you and you can continue your studies here. For some students who are not here today don't worry tell have also receive the letters and they might also come back here for the next school year like you. Now I want you all to know that this coming academic year Classes will start by mid September and like the tradition you will still be riding the Hogwarts express" "that's all, see you next school year. Oh By the way, if you like to go to your common room you can go know the painting are back and you can use the old password you have" she added
After giving the instruction some of the students went to their common room however Hermione went to Professor McGonagall's office she know the door and enter the room. "Professor..." she said and hand over the book she borrowed."
"Thank you for letting me borrow the book" said Hermione.
"Going home now?" ask Professor McGonagall.
"Yes. Finally I'm going to see them again" Hermione replied to Professor McGonagall smiling, she went closer to her and hug her. "Good luck to you my dear" Professor McGonagall said. When Hermione was about to leave she ask
"Professor, about the letter did you send one to my parents?"
"Not yet Miss. Granger" Professor McGonagall replied
"Not until they regain their memories of you" she added. Hermione smiles and leave the room. Before leaving the castle she went to their common room where her friends are she went to her room and stayed there for awhile. She miss it, she miss her Hogwarts room. After staying in the room, Hermione, Ginny, Ron and Harry left the school and went home to the Weasley's. Hermione says her goodbyes to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Fred, Ginny, Harry and Ron. It was almost afternoon when she arrive at their home in the Muggle world, she didn't quickly went to their house she waits until her parents got home from work. She sat on the bench near their house and wait for almost an hour she haven't realize that she fall asleep while waiting not until she felt a strong light facing her, it was her dad's car giving light in her direction. Her mom and dad looking so curious went to see who she is but before they come closer to her she pick her wand and cast the spell "Recupero", Hermione didn't make a move after casting the spell she look at her mom's face, Mrs. Grangers curious looks change her eyes became teary she went quickly to Hermione and her. Hermione was surprise she didn't thought that her spell will be perfect she hugs her mom back and start sobbing her mom look at her face and wipe her tears, then Mr. Granger walk closer to where they are and hug her too.

Then the three of them enter there house, Hermione couldn't stop staring at their house it looks like she haven't been there of almost 10 years but the house is still the same nothing change. Hurriedly, she runs up stares in her room. The place she loves as she open the door she quickly run toward her bed and lay on it, she roll over her bed , hugs her favorite pillow and even jump over her bed. This is just some of the usual thing she used to do in the Muggle world being Hermione Jean Granger and not as the "brightest witch in her age" she is in the Wizarding world. Hermione went up form her bed and went to her study table she open the drawer and found her diary which she last updated 1 year ago before she left for Hogwarts.
"Hermione, sweetie" Mrs. Granger called her from the kitchen "lets have our dinner" "coming mom!" she replied.

When she's done eating she went back to her room and took a shower before going to sleep, it was still 8:30 pm but she's tired already so she decided to sleep. The next day she woke up, she thought that what happened last night was just a dream but when she look around she realize that she was in her room, it was 10 am the usual time she get up when she's in the muggle world, she went to the kitchen to eat her breakfast and she saw the not her parents leave for her.
