QUICK A/N: This is the first story I've written in quite a few years so any positive feedback would be greatly appreciated!

IMPORTANT Setting the scene: This story will be about 70 percent AU, the characters will have about the same personalities but the personal relationships will be slightly altered. For purposes of this story the war happened the summer between sixth and seventh year and Dumbledore's death was only faked for the sake of drawing Lord Voldemort out in order to destroy him. Pureblood prejudices still remain but tolerance towards half-bloods and muggleborns is SLOWLY becoming accepted within the pureblood circles.

-PROLOGUE-

Not that she was complaining, but Hermione had no idea why Dumbledore was now allowing muggleborns to go home on weekends. Didn't he know that this could possibly interfere with her studies? That's why she chose the first weekend to go home before professors were really assigning homework. Truth was she probably wouldn't have been going home in the first place if it weren't mandatory to go at least once. He claimed it was so muggleborns could finally take advantage of a wizarding world without Voldemort.

Mentally Hermione made a list of what she wanted to do when she got home. Top of the list was catching up with all of her friends since she missed her summer with them. Oh how she missed being around people who really understood how she grew up and what was expected of her. Not that Harry and Ron didn't understand the pressure she was under, but they didn't understand all of it. She had a lot of family expectations that came with her family's status, something she never talked about, and her friends at home went through the same things and just shared that connection with her.

She stepped off the train and immediately saw her driver standing in front of the car.

"Welcome home Miss. Granger. Your parents are anxiously awaiting your arrival." He said as he opened the door to her Rolls Royce.

As Hermione sunk into the soft imported leather of the luxury car one thought crossed her mind. Oh yes, it's good to be home.

-BACK AT HOGWARTS-

Unknown to Hermione, Dumbledore's new policy was being explained to the rest of Hogwarts.

"In an effort to help all aspects of the Wizarding World better understand each other, we will be watching muggleborns on their returns home to see the world they have come from. The subject of our first study has no idea she is being watched, which I believe will be for the best, as she will be acting completely normal. So without further ado, let's see who went was the first to take advantage of their weekend home."

With a flick of Dumbledore's wrist Hermione was projected on the large wall of the Great Hall stepping off the train. Each student had their level of surprise going through their mind as she was greeted by not her parents but by a chauffeur.

Her father looks nothing like her. Ron never was quick to pick up on things.

She has a driver? Harry pick up on the fact that there was more to Hermione's home life than she let on, and judging by the confused look on Ron's face he'd have to sit him down to explain the situation.

The mud-…muggleborn has money? That was the censured version of the Slytherin table… except Draco.

Not only does she have money, but that person picking her up looks familiar. Looking around the Great Hall he realized he was the only person who thought this and figured some muggles may look like some wizards. Oh this should be interesting. What knew way can I find imperfections in Miss Perfect's image.

Draco planned to use information gathered here to find new ways to torture the know-it-all who always seemed to make him second best. Little did he know he was in for one of the biggest surprise of the all.

Dumbledore looked around the Hall and smiled down the table at Minerva and Severus after seeing the looks of shock and awe on the faces of the students.

And they said this could be disastrous.

A/N: PLEASE! I live for your feedback. I only ask that it be CONSTRUCTIVE. PLEASE, please, please REVIEW. Sorry this is so short, I plan on writing more very soon but I wanted to get this all down and see how it would be received.
