Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters. I own only the story line and plot. Nothing else.
"Ginny wake up! Wake up, wake up, WAKE UP!" Yelled a medium height girl with wild brown curls, sun kissed skin, and shiny chocolate brown eyes. She yanked open the curtains so that the bright sunlight shown through the window.
"Ginny Weasley wake up already its the first of September." She said standing over a half asleep girl with flaming red hair.
"Bloody hell Hermione." She grumbled loudly sitting up "its 6 in the morning and who knew someone could be so excited to be getting back to school."
"Well I am so, get up. We need to wake Harry and Ron up and head over to kings cross station by 11:00." Said Hermione waking over to the joined bathroom to brush her teeth.
"Yeah, yeah, it's the same routine every year." Said Ginny now fully awake walking over to the bathroom to join Hermione.
The two girls brushed their teeth in silence, both thinking about the year ahead of them. As soon they were done they grabbed their wands and ran downstairs, to wake Harry and Ron up. As they reached the room they heard muffled talking from inside the room and figured that Harry and Ron were awake, so they yelled good morning and rushed down stairs to grab some breakfast.
Breakfast was a quiet event until Harry and Ron arrived. Ron dripping wet and Harry with a smug smile on his face.
"Good morning brother and Harry" said Ginny without looking up from the weekly witch magazine.
"Hey Harry, Hey Ron." Said Hermione with a big smile on her face "Um Ron... why are you wet?"
Ginny looked up at Hermione's questions and burst out laughing.
"This stupid git here." Ron said red in the face, pointing to Harry "drenched me"
Hermione and Ginny looked questioningly at Harry.
"Well" said Harry running his hands through his untameable straight black hair "He wouldn't get up no matter how much I shook him or yelled. So in the end I decided to use my wand and drench him."
Hermione and Ginny burst out laughing while Ron glared at them.
"Oh Ronald." Ginny said still laughing and shaking her head at the same time.
"Come on you two, let's get u guys some breakfast." Said Hermione calling out to Kreacher. She called put politely still not fully agreeing that house elfs were there to do their biddings and they enjoyed doing that. When kreacher didn't arrive Harry sighed and yelled out to kreacher that they wanted their breakfast while Hermione glared at him. A few seconds later a they heated a soft crack and kreacher appeared in the middle of the large kitchen. "Kreacher, can you please get me and Ron some breakfast please?" Said Harry pulling out a chair and sitting down. "So you guys exited?" He asked addressing Hermione and Ginny. "Well I guess, I mean there wouldn't really be any drama this year now that the dark lords defeated and most or the deatheaters and caught." Said Ginny.
"Yeah, and plus professor McGonagal is headmistress this year so I hope things will be fine." Said Hermione a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Oh come on guys." Said Harry as kreacher arrived with two bowls of porridge and glasses of juice "Where the Gryffindor spirit? Plus Ginny you are a perfect and Hermione you are the head girl. Everything will be fine." Beside him Ron nodded in agreement already shoving porridge in his mouth forgetting about being drenched my Harry.
"I wonder who the head boy will be." Said Hermione standing up and going over to the sink, while dismissing kreacher.
"Come on guys, let's go get ready" said Ginny walking out of the kitchen
With that the four of them walked out of the kitchen to get ready.
1 hour later Harry, Ginny and Ron headed down stairs not finding Hermione anywhere.
"Hermione?" Called Ginny "Where are you? We need to leave."
"Coming." Hermione called back "I just can't find my book" she said now running down the stairs her trunk floating behind her.
"Which book?" Said Ron smirking at her
"Hogwarts: A history." Said Hermione rubbing her face "I looked everywhere, I can't go to Hogwarts without it, I had from first year to sixth year."
"Hermione, are you a witch or not?" Said Harry a smirk also on his face. Hermione looked up in surprise. "Pardon?" She asked. Sighing Harry waved his wand "Accio Hogwarts: A history." A second later they heard a thump followed along with a think book zooming towards Harry.
Harry caught the book before it crashed into the base newt to him and handed it to a grateful Hermione who put in her book bag. "Alright I'm ready, let's go or we'll be late." She said.
"Finally." Said Ginny gratefully. Harry grabbed Hermione and her trunk and Ron grabbed Ginny and her trunk, then they did some side-along appiration into a alley way behind kings cross station where various other witches and wizards were arriving with their parents or friends.
They all walked into kings cross, got a cart and headed over to platform 9¾ to run through the barrier.
When they reached Ginny and Hermione realised that this was probably their last time running through these walls as students. All of those years running through walls flashed in Hermione's mind and she blinked back tears. She and Harry grabbed the handle of the cart with one look at each other they ran through the walls to enter the crowded platform 9¾.
"Well this is it I guess." Said Harry pulling Hermione into a hug half smiling.
"Yeah, no turning back." Said Hermione quietly "Its going to be strange going back without you and Ron. Nothing will be same. Golden trio, the boy who lived all of that." She looked over at Harry.
"Oh come on, you're Hermione Granger, the brains of the golden trio. Plus you've got Ginny, Luna and Neville." Said Harry trying his best to be cheerful. At Hermione's questioning look he said "Neville owled me a few day ago telling me got a teaching assistantship with professor Sprout for Herbology." Hermione nodded and turned back to watching the first years excitedly getting on to the train. "Speaking of Ginny, how are you two doing?" Asked Hermione turning to Harry with a concerned expression on her face.
"We decided that we will be seriously dating once I finish my Auror training and Ginny finishes school, which will be around the same time." Said Harry happily
"Good" said Hermione firmly "You both deserve the best."
"Thank you." said Harry "And how are you and Ron going along?"
"It's not working out." Hermione firmly "And no harry please don't try talk him or me into it." She said noticing the look on Harry's face. "Ron's not very committed and we both decided that being best friends is best for us." Harry nodded just as the train loudly hooted twice telling everyone that it would be leaving in 5 minutes. Harry glanced at the train and then Hermione and pulled her into a tight hug which she returned. "Promise you'll owl me often." Harry said and Hermione nodded before rushing off towards the train, waving to Harry right before she got on. Harry waved back and waited till the train left the station to go and find Ron.
