'Bye my love, see you during Christmas hopefully.' Said Nate lovingly hugging Hermione as tight as he could

'Bye Nate, and of coarse ill come back just for you' she said looking up at the boy she grew up with.

'Well I should go, Blair is waiting for me and you know how she can get.'

'Yeah, she can get pretty scary sometimes.'

'Yeah ha-ha for sure.'

'Tell her I say bye and give everyone my love.'

'No problem that I can do.'

'Thanks well I'll—.'

'Hermione who is this.' Said Ron butting in on her and Nate's conversation

'Oh hello Ron, this is my childhood friend Nate Archabald, Nate this is Ron he goes to Hogwarts with me.'

'Hey Ron, nice to meet you.'

'Hey Nate, Hermione you told him about Hogwarts!!!'

'Yeah, he is like my best friend.'

'This Richie rich!'

'Ummm yeah I'm still standing here.'

'Excuse me Ron but I don't think who I decide to be friends with is any your concern.'

'Ummm Hermio—.'

'Common Nate, lets go talk somewhere else.'

'Don't be late for the train.'

'Leave me alone!' She yelled at Ron and then grabbed Nates hand and pulled him throw the wall. 'I'm so sorry about him he is a real ass.'

'It's ok really, you get used to it, I mean look who we hang out with.'

'Point well taken ha-ha.'

'Well bye 'Mione ill miss you.'

'I'll miss you too Nate.'

'Bye love.'

'Bye Nate.' She said giving him one more hug and a kiss on the cheek as he kissed her forehead. She started to talk away from him and then hop on the train she gets in her cabinet before looking out the window and seeing his beautiful dirty blond hair and waving at him with a single tear running down her face. 'Bye Nate….' And with that the train began to move and his waving hand became smaller and smaller off in the distance.

'Who was that Hermione?' asked the black haired friend of hers.

'That was my muggle friend Nate, I've known him since I was a little girl and he is a close family friend.'

'Hmmm very nice, as long as he treats you well it's all good.'

'Thanks Harry' she said standing up and giving her old friend a hug 'How as your summer?'

'Nothing new really, the Dursley's are still out to get me but after this year im going to live in Sirius house because it is tactically now mine and that get's me out of the house and away from them if you know what I mean.'

'Yeah of course.'

The two of them sat chatting about random stuff when they saw a tall gray eyed platinum blond hair boy stopped at there door and opening the door. 'Well, well, well hellos Hermione how are you this fine afternoon?'

'What do you want Malfoy.'

'Oh touchy are we? Well I just came in to see if it was really true?'

'If what was really true, Malfoy?'

'You and Nate Archibald.'

'How do you know Nate?'

'Oh Nate, well I've known him for years, his best friend Chuck Bass is my cousin.'

'No Way, I mean it makes sense you are both slime balls.'

'Awe princess that hurt, well now I know who exactly Nate and Chuck are talking about now when they mention you. I thought it was just a quiencidence that they had a friend named Hermione. May I ask though Hermione how did you get in with the Upper Eastside's? It takes a lot to be accepted.'

'Well if you must know Malfoy, my parents are exactly like any other of the east side parents and my parents and there's are cut from the same slice of bread.'

'Wait your rich?'

'Yes you could say that.'

'Well you never could tell, but I mean it does make sense with your Yule Ball dress.'

'Leave me alone Malfoy to be with me and my friends.'

'Fine Granger but I will see you around, by the way are you going to the Upper East Side Christmas Bash this year?'

'Yes, why?'

'Well then I'll see you there my parents are hosting it.'

'Oh joy'

'Bye Granger…' and with that he was gone.

'WHY WHY WHY! I get enough of him though out the year and now the one time I get with my muggle friends he is going to destroy! ERGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!' she said banning her head against the wall behind her head.'

'Hermione stop, you're going to hurt yourself!'

'I don't care anymore!'

'Yeah well I do now stop'

'Fine but I'm not going to be happy about it.'

'That is all I ask, now can you please explain to me what just happened between you and Malfoy, and who are the Upper East Siders?'

'The Upper East Siders are an allet group of the richest and most powerful people, the in crowd if I may. They make up the streets of Manhattan, some of the major family's are The Basses, with there Arrogant son Chuck, there are the Van Do Woodensons with there confusing daughter Serena and great son Eric, there are the Woldroughs with there spoiled virgin daughter Blair, there are the Archibald's with there awesome son Nate and then there is the Malfoys and well you know Draco and us the Grangers, these are just some of the most popular groups. These people think money is everything in the world I grew up in this society of bitches and ass holes, who only think that life is money. There seems there is an unlimited amount of it. I grew up getting whatever I wanted I used to be a spoiled little brat until I realized that money wasn't everything and I didn't want to turn out like Blair, Draco, or Chuck. But I still live in this society so I have to abay by the rules so that means every Christmas break I go home and go to this huge party's where everyone is dressed for the Yule Ball and when I turn 17 this year I will have my coming out party and it is just insane. I don't like talking about my home life to you guys because I don't want you to think I'm just a richly rich girl with wealthy parents and a never ending flow of cash. I hate that this is my life but there isn't much I can do that's why I love Hogwarts so much because it gets me away from that life and I don't have to act like a proper girl who does everything right and living with Rumors and Gossip always floating around you. Like you think here is bad out there is ten times worse then it is here.'

'Wow that's pretty intense, so how have you avoided Malfoy all these years like he acted like he didn't know you were in that society.'

'Well I am clever enough to stay away from him and it has worked until now. Now I won't be able to get away from him. ERG please Harry doesn't tell anyone I want to keep it a secret as long as I can possibly can. Please for me.'

'Of course I will, wait does Ron know, and have you seen him?'

'No Ronald doesn't know and I don't want him to because I don't want him to think I am rubbing it in his face that I'm rich and…he isn't if you know what I mean and I saw him outside he is probably avoiding me because we got into a spat before we got on the train.'

'Well then here we go again let the games begin, now I know you are normal.'

'Ha ha thanks Harry I owe you big time.'

'No problem anytime 'mione.'

The train ride was as long as it usually was a couple people poked there heads in to say hello and as us how our summers were. We eventually went and changed into our school robes before we got back to the school. The train stopped and we all filed out of the train to get into the carriages that will take us the great white castle we passed Hagrid getting all the first year students and new kids together to get them into the boats. We got to the carriages and met up with Luna, Dean Thomas and Ginny. The trip to the Castle wasn't very long but still nice. We arrived at the castle and made our way over to the Gryffindor table we were one of the first people in the Great Hall so you continued your chat. Ron eventfully ended up joining you but ignored you the entire time. Eventfully the Great hall was completely full with children. Professor McGonagall came in a few minutes later with a whole bunch of younger children and to larger kids. They looked so young and innocent and slightly frightened. There was a lot of chatter going on around everyone. Professor McGonagall went thought the same process that we had herd for the past six years. Soon enough the food was consumed and we were aloud to go to our common rooms. While walking back to the Gryffindor Tower Draco Malfoy bumped into me, turned around on the spot and winked at me before going back on his way to the Dungeons'. We finished our way to the Common Room and sat down in our chairs around the fire. We learned the password was Lemon Demon.
