Hello. I am reposting this whole story. There were too many errors, but I have now a BETA, and the 9 first chapters have been BETA'ed, and are OK to be posted. Just so you know.


Chapter 1

Meeting old friends

Hermione Granger walked through the barrier to platform 9¾ at exactly 10.45 am on September 1st. It was the 7th and last time she would do this. It was a bit sad actually. She had started to like it. All the excitement around starting a new year and what would happen. She smiled to herself. She was made Head Girl, something she was extremely proud of. Now she couldn't wait to find out who was Head Boy. She was quite sure it would be Harry, one of her best friends. He was the obvious choice. With a smile she brushed the very bushy and brown hair out of her hazel-coloured eyes.

After finding a trolley for her luggage, she started looking for her friends. The platform was packed with students, parents, animals and luggage. Despite all of this, Hermione immediately caught sight of the Weasley family. This was not hard considering the fact that each and every member of the family had flaming red hair. They were accompanied be Remus Lupin – their former Defence Against the Dark Art Professor –, Nymphadora Tonks and Alastor Moody. All of them members of The Order of the Phoenix. She quickly made her way over to them.

"Hello," she said smiling when she reached them.
"Hello, Hermione!" said Mrs Weasley cheerfully and gave her a motherly hug which lasted for several minutes. When she finally released her, she asked with concern in her voice: "How are you dear? How was your summer? You didn't come to visit us!"
"It was OK," answered Hermione. "I went with my family to Spain for the whole summer. So I didn't get the time to visit you. My parents wanted me for themselves for once!" she laughed.

Then she turned to say hello to her friends.
"Hi, Hermione!" 16-year-old Ginny Weasley literally threw herself at Hermione and gave her a 'good to see you' hug. Hermione hugged her back, glad to see the only girlfriend she had. She then turned to face a long, ungainly boy whose ears immediately turned to the shade of deep red. Hermione was about to give him a hug as well, but stopped herself in the last minute.
"Ehm... Hi, Ron," Hermione stuttered.
"Hi 'Mione." Ron quickly started examine his shoes. An awkward silence appeared which was ended by Harry.

"Good to see you, Hermione!" he said with a smile. Harry Potter had black hair which never lay strait, no matter how much he tried. He also had a lightning shaped scar on the right side of his forehead, and his eyes were bright green. He was almost an exact copy of his father. However, he had his mother's eyes.

"Good to see you too, Harry!"

She said 'Hello' to the remaining four people, that included Mr Weasley, when Ginny's voice broke in.

"We should probably get on board and find a compartment before everyone is full."They grabbed their belongings and quickly made their way over to the train. They helped each other getting the suitcases on board, and said their final goodbyes to Mr and Mrs Weasley, and the train started to move out of the station.
