Chapter 1: New Beginnings
Hermione woke up and looked at her clock next to her bed and it read 8:45, she laid there for a few minutes thinking about what her day would hold.
It was Hermione's last day of summer and she had made plans to meet Ron, Harry, and Ginny in Diagon Alley to buy their books for the year. Ron had invited her to visit the Burrow but when she asked her parents (Doug and Janie Granger) they told her that she couldn't because they wanted to spend the whole summer with her, so this was the first time that she would see her three best friends since their sixth year at Hogwarts.
With this thought she got out of bed and walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on, and let the hot water cascade down her body. Once she finished washing her hair she turned the water off and walked to her closet and opened it to try to find something to wear- she decided on a cute pleated jean-mini skirt and a pink tube top that showed off her newly acquired curves. She took her wand and aimed some well placed straitening spells at her frizzy hair and then applied some make-up, some sparkly pink eye shadow, blush, mascara, and some shinny lip gloss. She turned to the mirror and looked at her reflection and thought 'Wow I look hot!'
Then her mind turned to her new boyfriend who was none other than her best friend Ronald Weasley, as she thought of seeing Ron today butterflies erupted in her stomach and she giggled. Her thoughts were interrupted by her mother calling from the downstairs,
"Hermione—you're going to be late meeting your friends if you don't get down here now!"
Hermione looked at her reflection one more time before slipping on some brown flip-flops, grabbing her purse (which she had put an extending spell on so that she could carry her wand and any other useful items she deemed necessary), and she bounded down the stairs.
"Hi Mom! Hi Dad! Bye Mom! Bye Dad!"
"Not so fast young lady, I want you to sit down with your father and I and eat something".
Hermione grudgingly sat down and took a piece of toast from the tray her mother offered her.
Hermione couldn't help herself as she polished off the toast in five big bites, she gulped down some orange juice and ran to the fireplace.
"Bye!!"
Before her parents could say anything she was off to Diagon Alley via the floo network.
Hermione felt herself fall onto the ground,
'Damn! I can never get this right! I just hope no one saw that!'
But no such luck-- she looked around and there stood none other than Draco Malfoy with his goons Crabbe and Goyle and attached to Malfoy was none other than Pansy Parkinson. Apparently Malfoy didn't see who she was because he let go of Parkinson's waist and offered her a hand up,
"Miss are you ok?"
Once she was on her feet again she said,
"Thank-you Malfoy that was so Un-Malfoyish of you."
This snapped something in Malfoy,
"Wholly crap! It's Granger! Come on lets go before we get mudblood on us!"
And with that they walked away. Hermione started walking towards Flourish and Blotts and there she spotted Harry, Ginny, and Ron.
"Ron!!"
She ran up to Ron, threw her arms around his neck and then planted a big kiss on his waiting lips.
"Ron, I missed you so much!"
"Mione! I missed you too!!"
She turned to Harry and Ginny who were waiting patiently,
"Hey you guys! How was your summer?"
Harry was the first to answer,
"Well it was full of the Dursley's… I don't think I would have survived if it wasn't for Ron's invitation to the Burrow."
Ginny was next, "Well, my summer was perfect! I got to spend time with Harry and you know what that means!"
She leaned over and kissed Harry. Hemione giggled and then looked over at Ron who had turned red and was muttering, "Why me? Why me?"
"Well Ron- I don't have to ask you how your summer was!" Laughed Hermione.
"Hermione how was your summer?" Asked a distracted Ginny.
Hermione looked down and then up, "It was interesting… My parents were acting like this summer would be the last time they would see me again but with that I got to spend more time than I ever have with them…"
Harry finally looked up from Ginny, "Hermione don't you like spending time with your parents? I mean you're making it sound a bit like, well like my summer…" Harry laughed at his own joke and then looked questioningly at Hermione.
"Of course I like spending time with my parents, it's just that they tend to smother me when I am with them and I need to come up for air once in a while. But on the bright side I was able to get a lot of reading done and speaking of books lets go get ours."
They all went into Flourish and Blotts, got their books and then Flooed home to pack their trunks for the next day.
