And then there was one:

Hermione couldn't really see Harry or Ron because of the tears in her eye. She sniffed as they ran down her cheeks but she soon wiped them away with her sleeve. Ron was wearing his brown sweater with the big yellow 'R' on it, as usual, with black trousers and his favourite boots, which he never ties up. Harry on the other hand just wore a hoodie, jeans and sneakers. His scar wasn't really noticeable any more above his round glasses but if you looked closely it was still there.

'Are you sure you'll be alright without us?' asked Ron for what seemed like the millionth time.

'Yes Ronald, I'll be fine I promise' she strongly but already started to doubt her word. 'Besides, you'll move quicker without me.'

She then turned to Harry 'I hope you find them all and take care of Ron.'

'Sure thing' he replied.

'I can look after myself you know!' interrupted Ron looking annoyed

'Well, look after each other then.'

She could feel the tears returning so she hugged her friends tightly to hide them.

'Good luck' she mumbled

'Good bye Hermione' Harry and Ron said in unison as the Hogwarts express whistle rang out.

Hermione quickly grabbed her trunk and ran towards the train, only just making it on board. She managed to stick her head out of the window to wave goodbye but only saw them disappear through the brick wall back to London.

She slowly squeezed her way through the narrow corridor of the train just as Ginny, Luna and Pavarti were beckoning her towards them.

'Thanks guys' she whispered gracefully and took her seat nearest to the window.

The hills and mountains rose and fell like ocean waves that were carrying her far away. She opened the window next to her slightly, feeling the cold wind on her face. Her hair danced in the breeze as she imagined she was flying. The conversation that filled the compartment was muffled in her ears but she could make out some words, Dumbledore....dead....Hogwarts....closing. Hermione felt suddenly very awake and angry at the past events at the end of last year but then she felt sorrow and remorse of the fact that the great headmaster was indeed dead and that maybe Hogwarts couldn't stand any longer.

The train began to slow down and the platform came into view. All of the first years talking excitedly to each other but were silenced by a great bellowing voice. Hermione looked and sure even enough there was Hagrid the game keeper. He had darkness under his eyes and shaky hands but was just the same as when she first met him.

'Hagrid, it's so good to see you again!' Hermione sang, running towards him.

'erm-ione!' he shouted and hugged her 'can t bel-eve its yer las' year!'

'I know it's been a long time'

'em glad oner yer stayed, i don't think i could bear rit' he said tearing up

'It's alright Hagrid' Hermione said patting him on the arm

'Well er, i gotta take ther firs' years to the boats an you best go to ther carriages'

'I'll see you at the great hall'

As soon as she reached the carriages everyone was in a big crowd crowding around someone voices and shouts filled the air saying,

'Oh my god I can't believe your back!'

'Where did you go?'

Hermione had a bad feeling about who this person was, she didn't want to know but something made her look up from the ground and see Draco Malfoy.

* * *

'You, how dare you come back here, you're not welcome any more GET OUT!' Hermione screamed drawing her wand. She marched up to his pale face and white blonde hair aiming at his throat. She'd done this before but now Harry and Ron weren't here to stop her. She was full of rage and vengeance not caring for the consequences. Draco froze and looked very afraid. Even though he was a head taller, he knew what she was capable of and he knew she wouldn't hold back.

Everyone around them backed away silently and was waiting for the next move.

'You know I didn't do it Granger!' he yelled

'Yes but you joined HIM!' she said matching his tone.

Draco winced even though the dark lord's name wasn't even mentioned.

'You were asked to join us and you knew that we could help you and your family but you... you wanted to prove yourself to someone who you thought cared about you. But he doesn't, only about himself and your believed him even he threatened you to do his bidding. Why did you?' Hermione whispered.

He did not have an answer and saw that he had made a grave mistake.

'You're just a scared little boy, who tries to be just like his father, but you're not, you're you.'

She lowered her wand and turned to walk away but instead just kicked him in his man business. Malfoy fell to the ground in absolute agony.

Standing over him with a small smirk whispered

'Just think about who you are.'
