Ahh sixth year, sixth year……… sixth year, urgh! Hermione Granger was not in a good mood. Yes the idea that she would be able to be with her friends again was appealing. Yes that gigantic library with enough books to make even her brain explode was very alluring. And yes, the fact that she finally made peace with Lavender and Parvarti was a plus. Well whenever they weren't driving her up the wall trying to get her to tell them secrets about Harry that is. Speaking of Mr. Green Eyes himself, is he really that dense?!?! It was now as previously mentioned, their sixth year at Hogwarts. And as of last year Hermione Granger has been trying her damnedest to get a certain boy with bright green eyes to like her. She wanted to do it subtly at first, quick peck on the cheek at the end of the fourth year, sitting closer to him during mealtimes. Supporting him when his best friend was jealous of him, but no, no, no, he's still after that twit Cho. Cho with her long legs, and perfectly ramrod straight hair. Cho and her mysterious alluring ways. Slut.
Oooo, he'll get it this time around, or at least he'd better. Hermione composed herself as she smoothed out her black skirt and red top underneath her Hogwarts cape. Then again why bother when the cape completely covered her entire arrangement? She rolled her eyes. Because, as Lavender says,
"If you are seen arranging your outfit often, boys will soon wonder what's underneath those robes." Right, sure, bullshit! Although for some reason it seemed to work well enough for Lavender, she always had boys to hook up with. But then again, Hermione didn't want to have a new reputation of being an airhead. It was bad enough in the fourth year when Ron's mother thought she was a scarlet woman. Sigh, anyways. Right now Hermione Granger was standing in front of a brick wall, she had not moved in ten minutes, and it was troubling her parents greatly.
"Ehem, Hermione dear? Did you forget the spell to move the brick wall?" Her dad asked from behind her.
"What? Huh? Oh no dad" She tapped the bricks in the correct order and soon the bricks were rolling back and to the side, revealing to the Grangers in all its glory; Diagon Alley.
"Big whoop." Hermione muttered as her parents oohed and ahhed. "Been there, seen that, down to business." She had plans this year, she had plans last year too, but it failed miserably. But this year, it will not fail, and even if it does, she still had seventh year, and could plan for that all summer. Hermione rolled her eyes again, Yeah, that's just great for positive thinking, Sigh. She was to meet Lavender and Parvarti at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor and Cafe where Lavender would hopefully approve of her outfit and help her launch her plan in action. Then later on she was to meet Harry and Ron at Flourish and Blotts like they do every year. She hadn't seen the two of them for the entire summer and missed both of them greatly. Oh hell, what's the use in lying to herself. All summer the only thing that she had been able to keep her mind on was how the hell she was going to arrange snogging sessions between her and Harry. Well that and homework of course…… homework is so very, very important. Hermione was so immersed in her own thoughts that she accidentally walked into the statue in front of Gringotts Bank.
"Ooff!" She exclaimed as she took a step back and rubbed her head. "Ow." Her parents right now were staring at her strangely.
"Hermione, are you sure you're ok?" Her mother asked her. "Do you want to lie down or something…"
"No, mom, I'm just a little preoccupied," Hermione said with a wave of her hand. "You know, like sometimes when I'm reading a book and walking at the same time, and I walk into something and stumble? Yeah, that." She turned back around and walked into the bank. Her parents nodded at each other in a relieved sort of way. Yes their daughter was prone to accidents when she had her head in a book. Then they realized that their daughter was not currently reading anything.
"Hermione, wait!!" Her parents ran in after her.
They had gotten their money changed without much of a hassle and Hermione was once again walking toward the entrance of Diagon Alley. Her parents had to go to some dentist's meeting and they could not accompany her on her shopping today. They would however pick her up in a couple of hours at the entrance.
"Bye mom, bye dad, yes I'll be fine, I'll just be in the book shop where I always am. Have fun at the meeting, bye, bye!" Hermione waved her parents off, and stepped back into Diagon Alley. Time to meet the girls. She headed toward Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor and Cafe with a smile on her face. Oh yes, this year Harry, you will not get away.
