A/N- Hey everyone, Mara-Potter's back with another story, since "A Walk I Will Remember" is on my old laptop. I wanted to make a story on my new one! I hope it's as good as A.W.I.W.R or better! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: We all know J.K. Rowling writes the book… Right? Is there really a chance that I'm J.K. Rowling writing a fan fiction?

Chapter 1:

Hermione looked at her watch. 'Okay, 20 more minutes until the train leaves. Plenty of time to get there.' She thought. Hermione put her bags in her carriage and began to walk toward the barrier, Crookshanks following closely behind.

'Ah, Platforms 9 and 10.' Hermione thought. She looked around to see if anyone was watching her. Nobody was. Hermione leaned forward and went straight through the barrier.

Hermione smiled, happy to see Platform 9¾ in front of her eyes.

Someone bumped into her suddenly.

"Oh. Sorry." Said the person being bumped by someone else from behind also. He looked up and stared at Hermione.

"You look familiar." Said the person Hermione bumped into.

Hermione looked at the person in disbelief.

"HARRY!" She yelled. "RON!" She said looking at the person who had bumped into Harry.

"Do I know y-…… Hermione?" Harry asked not believing who was in front of his eyes.

"Yes!" Hermione smiled.

Ron looked up. "Hermione?"

"Hi! You guys look so different." Hermione stated observing Harry and Ron who at least grew 3 inches over the summer.

Harry wore baggy jeans (A/N- Not those jeans that are hanging down, the ones that are regular jeans…… just doesn't fit so tightly… you know what I mean.) and a red shirt. Ron was wearing baggy dark blue jeans with a blue shirt.

"Well, you look even MORE different. We're the ones who didn't even recognize our own friend!" Harry informed Hermione.

Hermione understood. Her hair was down to the middle of her back, and it was mixed with different shades of brown. (A/N- Not in a weird way, the way it sort of blends in together. It's pretty!) She also had grown about a inch. Hermione wore a pink tank top that said "SwEeT aS cAnDy," and a jean skirt that went down to her knees with a pink butterfly in the corner, along with white half-inch platform shoes. She had large gold hoop earrings on, and gold bangles.

Hermione smiled and shook her head.

"So, what have you guys been doing this summer? Stretching?" Hermione asked.

They all laughed.

"Haha, very funny." Ron said, playfully sticking his tongue out at her. "Harry was over at my house the whole summer since he couldn't stand to be with the Dursley's again."

"So 'Mione, when did you decide to change your appearance?" Harry asked.

"Oh, this? I don't know, I was bored all summer after I finished my homework, so I decided to go to this big mall by my house and hang out there, I dunno, something just made me go over there, and I started looking in shops and I got attracted to all of the clothes and accessories they had in there." Hermione explained.

"I see." Harry said, amusement in his voice.

"Common, lets go in and find a compartment, we have 10 more

minutes." Ron announced.

They walked over to the wizard taking students bags and handed theirs over. From there they entered the train.

Harry, Ron and Hermione walked down the aisles looking for a empty compartment. After 2 minutes, they found one and all sat down in it.

"Ugh, I'm so wiped out." Hermione told them.

"Yeah, we're pretty tired too. Pig decided that he wanted to wake up in the middle of the night and bounce around the cage." Harry told Hermione.

Hermione laughed.

The train began to move.

Hermione leaned on the window she was sitting next to and watched Platform 9¾ speed out of sight.

"Another year at Hogwarts." Hermione sighed.

"Now as 6th Years." Ron said, doing a little dance in his seat.

Harry laughed.

"Hermione, did you get in as a Prefect?" Harry asked.


"Yes. I'm so happy too, it's been something I was dreaming of." Hermione smiled.

"When you found out, did you, by any chance see who the other 3 Prefects were?" Harry asked.

"Nope. I just got a letter that said I was accepted as a Prefect." Hermione informed.

"I see."

"Anything off the trolley dears?" The same witch who had been selling snacks off the trolley stopped by their compartment.

"10 Chocolate Frogs for me!" Hermione said. (A/N- MMMMMMMMMMMMM! I LOVE CHOCOLATE FROGS! Thanx to Larissa for giving me my 1st one for Christmas!)

The witch handed her, the Chocolate Frogs. "15 Sickles." She said.

Hermione gave her the money.

"Hmm… I'll have Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans." Harry said.

"10 Knuts."

"2 Packs of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, and 5 Chocolate Frogs." Ron said proudly. His parents had won the Wizarding Jackpot of 1,000,000 Galleons. They had moved out of their old house into a 3 floored Mansion.

"7 Sickles."

Ron handed her the money, and the witch left.

"I've got Bertie Bott!" Hermione said, looking at her wizard card.

"I've got about 20 of him." Ron said, eating a popcorn flavoured bean.

The ride carried on for about 2 hours. Ron, Harry and Hermione all caught up with each other, other current events in their lives, how their summer went and so on.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

"All righ' firs' years follow me. Don' be shy." Hagrid announced.

The first years got off the train and followed him while 2nd years and up waited patiently in the train.

As soon as the 1st years left, everyone else came out of the trains and headed toward the horseless carriages.

Harry, Hermione and Ron got a carriage to themselves and rode to Hogwarts in silence, extremely happy that they were back.

They got out of the carriage and walked inside the humongous doors of Hogwarts.

"Great to be back." Ron said.

They all walked to their Gryffindor table and sat down next to each other. Hermione in the middle.

Professor McGonagal walked through the doors of the Great Hall followed by nervous looking First years.

"Settle down everyone." Professor McGonagal announced. "I will call your names, and you will walk over to the stool and put on the Sorting Hat. It will sort you in your house and you will go over to that table." She said, looking at all of the First years.

Professor McGonagal pulled out a scroll and started to read from the list.

(A/N- I'm going to use the names from my other story, I like to use my class! lol!)

"A., Samantha."

"Ravenclaw."

"A., Larissa."

"Gryffindor."

"A., Marielle."

"Slytherin."

"A., Samara."

"Gryffindor."

"D., Shana."

"Ravenclaw."

"E., Lara."

"Hufflepuff."

"C., Nick."

"That used to be my nick name when I was young…" Nearly Headless Nick whispered to Hermione, Harry and Ron.

"Hufflepuff."

"D., Joey."

"Slytherin."

"M., Cody."

A boy with blonde hair slicked back walked strode up to the Sorting Hat.

"Hey, doesn't that boy remind you of Malfoy?" Hermione said.

"Yeah, a younger version of him!" Harry whispered back.

"Ah, a Malfoy…" Began the Sorting Hat.

Hermione, Ron, and Harry's mouth dropped.

"Interesting. You posses many Slytherin features. But even MORE features of another house. Very interesting…"

Draco furrowed his eyebrows.

"GRYFFINDOR!" Shouted the Sorting Hat.

"WHAT?!" Shouted all of the houses. Every student, altogether.
