CHAPTER 1- Summer Plans

An owl was outside her window. Sixteen-year-old, Hermione Granger walked over

and opened it to let in a large barn owl. She recognized it as a school owl. A Hogwarts

owl. She took the letter tied to the owl's leg, gave it food and then let it out. The letter

said that she was invited to join a special program for students before their 6th and 7th

Year who excel in certain subjects. It got her thinking. She told her parents about

it. They, too, were excited. Meanwhile, in the Malfoy Manor.

Draco had just received a letter just like Hermione's. He didn't want to join and told

his mom this. But as he guessed, she just ignored him and forced him to participate.

#4 Pivet Drive.

After Harry Potter's 5th year in Hogwarts, his aunt and uncle was nicer to him

Because of their "talk" with all of Harry's friends, including Mad-Eye Moody. It was

Impossible to treat him like before with Mad-Eye watching over him. Obviously.

Harry received the letter, too (He has good marks in DADA) but did not join.

'How boring,' he thought. 'And besides, SCHOOL in the SUMMER?! Are they joking?!

=====***..***=====

In the Burrow, Ron Weasley was writing a letter to Harry. He wrote:

Hey Harry!

I thought it would be fun if we join this Quidditch camp this summer. It has these

cool brooms for our use and we get to sleep in this really nice place! There are all sorts of

things to do, but of course we'll be playing Quidditch most of the time. Who'd say no to

that?! What do you think?

Ron

-------***------- Ron,

I sure wouldn't! That'll be cool. Of course I'll say yes! Did you tell your mom and

dad? I'll ask the Dursleys.

Harry

-------***------- Harry,

Yeah I did, they said yes! Come stay here first and we'll go together. Mom said

she'll be happy to have you.

Ron

-------***------- Ron,
Thanks. I'll be there. (
Harry

--------------
A few days later, the 2 boys decided to write to Hermione. They told her about her

news and asked her to come to the Burrow too.

Dear Ron and Harry,

I really wanted to go over there but parents want me to stay a while and I can't. Oh,

by the way, Prof. Mcgonagall sent me this letter for students who want to join this

summer program. I heard Harry has one but didn't want to go. Anyway, I'm thinking

about going. My parents, obviously, want ma to go. So I guess I'll sign up. I'll see you

guys, usual time, usual place, Diagon Alley? I miss you both and hope to hear from you.

Hermione

Herm,
We miss you too and of course we'll see you there!

Harry and Ron =====***..***=====

Draco signed up too, and started packing his things for tomorrow. The letter said that

They would meet on the Knight Bus at 7: 30 am. He already dreaded waking up.

=====***..***=====

Both did not read the 2nd page of the letters given thoroughly. It said all the names of

the people joining. But Hermione, being Hermione, read it again, this time the whole

page, before she slept. When she got to the M's, GASP! It said.

.Draco Malfoy.

Draco, being Draco, did not reread it. (

-------***-------

Ginny, Ron's younger and only sister, was also there. At least she'll have someone to

talk to.and write to. So she wrote to Ginny almost immediately after remembering.

Hey Gin!

Did you read the list? Oh gosh did you know? Malfoy's coming too. This sucks.

Hermione

-------***------- Hey Mione!

It's so good to here from you! Yeah, I read it. Same here.(

Ginny

=====***..***=====
'Oh no!' It was almost 6:50 and she has to get ready. Hermione then takes a shower,

brushed her hair, brushed her teeth, and dressed up, all the while thinking about the

summer she would spend without her best friends and with the most dreadful person she

knew. 'SIX years,' she thought. Six years of tormenting her, calling her mudblood,

making her cry, and now, she was gonna spend her summer with him?! Well, at least

she has Ginny.
