The sunshine leaked in through the opened window allowing a ray of light to glide across Hermione's face. She
groaned and rolled onto her side. Getting up, she rubbed the sleepiness out of her eyes and glance at her new alarm
clock. "Dang it!" Hermione thought. It already nine o'clock! She had promised to meet Ron, Harry, and the rest of
the Weasely family in Diagonn Alley at ten o'clock in the morning. With these thoughts, Hermione jumped up and
ran into her small bathroom. Quickly she stripped herself of her clothes and jumped into the shower stall. As soon
as the warm water enveloped her body, Hermione's tense shoulders relaxed and she let the water slide over her
whole nudeness with great comfort. Although the shower was quick, it improved Hermione's mood. She turned
off the water, dried herself with a fluffy towel and changed into Muggle clothes. After all, it was still summer, and
her robes were way too stuffy. In half and hour Hermione was ready to go outside, wearing a yellow sundress and
flip-flops. She flooed over to Gringotts Bank and took the unnerving trip to her vault. After talking some
Galleons and Knuts, Hermione walked outside and decided to wait for her friends in the Ice cream Parlor. Minutes
later, Harry and Ron came strolling in. They changed so much over the summer that Hermione needed a moment
to take their newly acquired looks in. Ron became less lanky and more toned. His hair was now spiked up with
light golden feathery highlights. Harry looked even more muscled because of extra quidditch practice. His eyes
gleamed brightly and he wore no glasses; instead he now used contacts. A moment passed and Hermione jumped
up and ran to hug her two best friends. They pushed her away and said "Who the heck are you, woman?"
Hermione laughed and said "Aww shucks! C'mon guys! It's me! Hermione!" Ron and Harry looked
dumbfoundedly
at each other before rushing over to where Hermione was standing and asking her millions of questions "How did
you- When did you get a tan? How did you calm your hair- you are so hot- all the boys will be staring at
you!"
Harry said the final line and Hermione whacked him playfully on the arm. "Cut it out! I'm still your Hermione
know-it-all…." "You might be a know-it-all, but you're a hot one at that" piped in Fred who just came in.
Hermionie laughed and said "Let's get a move on or all the best books will be taken!" Ron looked a Harry and
said "Leave it to Hermione to care about books bought!" Harry and Ron laughed and followed Hermione out
into the bright sunshine. They squinted in the broad daylight and started walking to buy school supplies.
Although Hermione was Head Girl, she wasn't wearing her badge and didn't tell anyone but her close friends
about her success. Together the trio went to all the shops of Diagon Alley and bought new quills, ink bottles, ink,
parchment, books, dress robes, and school uniforms. Then they went home and got ready for school. After packing
their belongings, the Weasley's and Harry and Hermione went outside for a family picnic and spend their evening
chatting away.
The next morning, Hermione and Ginny woke up extra early as to style their hair and choose the best outfits for
the beginning of the year. Hermione washed her hair and used a drying charm to style her locks into cute tinny
ringlets which framed her beautiful face perfectly. She then chose a blood red tank top and jeans with tiny
rosebuds on them, along with red strappy sandals. When she was finished with her makeup she looked stunning.
Of course, being Hermione, she didn't know her own beauty. That's why, as she walked down to breakfast and
Harry and Ron whistled when they looked at her, all she said was "Oh boys!"
After a quick but hearty breakfast Mrs. Weasely and the gang Flooed to Platform 9 ¾ and fell through the magical
border. The familiar train was giving off white puffs of steam and the platform was littered with students.
Hermione brought her trunk aboard and then walked back out onto the platform, only to bump into someone.
When she blew her hair out of her face, she saw an evil smirk, platinum hair and steel blue eyes-"Malfoy…" she
hissed "Yes?" Draco smirked and said "You're better off watching where you are going…mudblood!"
Suddenly he yelped in pain, as Hermione's strappy high heeled leg came in contact with no other than his….crotch.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH------"Screamed Malfoy as he grabbed onto his lower region and tried not to curse too
loudly. "And you utterly and truly deserved that!" said Hermione before she turned on her heel and left Malfoy
steaming with rage.
