Disclamer: Don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters.
'Oh my god...oh my god…oh my god...' Hermione Granger chanted under her breath as she held on tightly to an envelope with the Hogwarts crest on it. She read and reread the letter before she dashed out of her bedroom in search for her parents.
They were sitting in the living room, watching television.
'Mum… Dad…guess…what...' Hermione managed to breathe out.
'What's wrong Hermione dear? Is everything alright?' Elizabeth Granger asked her daughter with concern while her husband Richard Granger looked over at Hermione.
'Everything is great!' Hermione replied still clutching the letter and the envelope tightly in her hand. 'I've… I've… been made Head Girl!' and before her parents could congratulate her she rushed over to both of them and gave them both a big hug.
'Oh Hermione…that's wonderful news! Congratulations,' her mum said teary-eyed.
'We are so proud of you, Hermione. Look at you…my little Hermione, growing up to become a young witch,' Richard said beaming proudly at his little girl.
'Richard, could you believe how the days have gone by so quickly. Soon Hermione would be graduating school and then she'll be getting married and having kids…this is all happening too fast' Elizabeth cried out.
'Mummm…don't cry. No matter what happens I will always be your little Hermione' Hermione said as her eyes became teary.
'Come on now! We shouldn't be crying. This is a time for celebration!' Hermione's dad said trying to change the subject. 'Why don't we all go down to the Burrow for a little party?' Richard suggested.
'That would be great,' Elizabeth said drying her eyes on her handkerchief.
'I'll be down here in half an hour,' Hermione said happily as she ran up the stairs to her bedroom.
'Hmmm…now what shall I wear?' she asked herself. She decided on a blue sun dress which was strapless and came up to her knees. It hugged her curves nicely. She jumped into the bathroom for a quick shower before she went over to the Weasley's.
She pulled on her dress, slipped on a pair of flip flops and applied a bit of make-up. She decided on leaving her hair to fall out to the middle of her back. Her hair was not as bushy as it used to be, rather more wavy and tamed. All in all she really had matured into a beautiful and elegant young lady who will be soon graduating seventh year at Hogwarts.
She bounced down the staircase and happily skipped through to the living room and waited for her parents. After about 10 minutes the Grangers came down the staircase and met their daughter.
'Alright then, everyone ready to go?' Hermione asked with a big smile on her face.
'Yes Dear. We'll be flooing to the Burrow?' Elizabeth asked
'Yes Mum we will be,' Hermione replied as she quickly walked to the window sill, picked up a handful of green powder, threw it into the fireplace, hopped into the now green flames, gave one last smile at her parents and shouted out 'The Burrow!'
Suddenly the great whooshing sound around her ears stopped and Hermione stood in a very familiar fireplace looking at an even more familiar kitchen.
'Hermione is that you?' Hermione smiled brightly when she recognized the voice of her best girlfriend Ginny Weasley
'Ginny! How are you? You would never know what just happened! I've got so much to tell you' Hermione said rather quickly.
'Wow…wow…wow…slow down 'Mione,' Ginny said happily. 'We'll take this one at a time. First get out of the fireplace' Ginny said trying to keep her laughter at bay.
Hermione blushed slightly and remembered that her parents will also be arriving. She stepped out of the fireplace and was embraced in a long warm hug from Ginny. She heard a little Pop and turned around to see her parents smiling at her.
'Hello Mr. and Mrs. Granger. It's wonderful to see you here,' Ginny said politely as they stepped out of the fire place.
'Hello Ginny. We're sorry to barge in on you like this but Hermione has some news to tell you,' Richard said.
'Oh…ok then,' Ginny said eyeing Hermione suspiciously. 'Mum and Dad are in the backyard Mr. and Mrs. Granger. You could go and meet them there and Hermione and I will go get Ron and Harry'
'Thank you Ginny,' Elizabeth said smiling at the youngest Weasley.
After they made their way out, Ginny turned to Hermione and bombarded her with questions. 'What was all that about? What do you have to tell us? What's going on?'
'Calm gown Ginny. I'll tell you when we meet the others. Now where are Ron and Harry?' Hermione asked.
'There all upstairs in Ron's room. Come on,' they made their way up the stairs until they reached Ron's room. Hermione could here big booming sounds and could bet that they were playing exploding snap.
She opened the door and was immediately thrown back with rib crushing hugs. She had no idea how Ron and Harry had got to her so quickly. Stupid Quidditch reflexes, she thought to herself.
'Umm…Guys…I'm...glad to see that…you missed me…but…but I really need to breathe,' Hermione managed to say. Both the boys immediately let go of her and looked at her with boyish grins pasted on their faces. Hermione could help but smile. These two had really grown into handsome young men. Harry had his dark messy hair which he had inherited from his father and green eyes from his mother. Ron with his bright red hair and blue eyes. Both the boys had a muscular body thanks to all the Quidditch practices they had at Hogwarts.
'Hermione what are you doing here?' Harry asked. 'Not that we don't want you here,' he added in quickly seeing the look on her face.
Hermione laughed. 'Well I've got some news for the three of you,' Hermione said smiling happily at all of them.
Ron's face paled, 'Wait… your getting married? No…even worse you pregnant!' Ron's face grew white until Hermione slapped him across the head playfully.
'Ron, stop being ridiculous!' Hermione scolded trying to keep the laughter away from her voice. Harry and Ginny were doubled over with laughter.
'Alright…alright…I was just joking,' Ron said also laughing.
'Ok Hermione…enough of this secrecy. Just hurry up and tell us already,' Ginny said impatiently
'Ok let's go down to the kitchen so I could say see Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and tell them as well. I guess Fred and George are at their shop. So I'll tell them later when I see them at Diagon Alley,' Hermione said as they made their way down the stairs to the kitchen.
'Hermione, how lovely to see you dear,' Mrs. Weasley said as she pulled Hermione in for a warm hug.
'It's nice to see you too Mrs.Weasley and you Mr. Weasley,' Hermione said. Mr. Weasley smiled and nodded his head in return.
'Ok…I know you all want to know what I'm doing here,' Hermione said as she looked around the room at everyone. 'Well…I've been made Head Girl!'
