A.N. This is my first fanfic, but I have been thinking about it for about 2 years, when I first got hooked on these things. If you have any questions, comments, or help I would really appreciate it, since I am new. Hope y'all enjoy the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or anything to do with that…just the idea.

Chapter 1. "Changes"

Hermione stepped out of the car with a huge smile on. 'This is gonna be great' She was so glad to be back here. 'I am sooooo ready to get out of this so called life.' She thought. Dee smiled over to her as she also stepped out of the royal blue convertible. The guys around them all took a glance at the two beauties, who were now busy trying to get their bags, animals, and chests out of the car. They had to charm the car just to fit both of their belongings for the next year in there. It was very hard trying to get them out and carry them all the way to 91/2 without magic. As they fumbled with their stuff on the luggage cart, they didn't notice all the guys staring at them. Not only for their beauty, but also because of all the things they had piled high on the cart. As they struggled they lost control of the cart and rammed right into one the boys that was staring at them and his cart. They all landed on the floor with luggage surrounding them.

"Sorry." Dee said with a sincere smile.

"Yeah, sorry about that." Hermione added.

"No problem ladies." The boy said, as he dusted himself off. He then offered his hand to Hermione and Dee.

"Thanks." Hermione and Dee said in unison. He looked down at all the luggage piled around their feet.

"Can I help you ladies with your bags?" He asked in a courteous tone. They both nodded and they all started to pick up the various pieces of luggage. He noticed the cat and owl both in cages. "Where are you ladies headed with all of this?" He questioned.

"Umm, were going back to school." Hermione explained.

"You wouldn't belong to Hogwarts would you?" He asked with a curious grin.

'He is gorgeous' Hermione thought. "Um, yeah. I am in my seventh year, and my cousin Delandra is transferring over from the U.S. for her seventh year. I am gonna assume that you are a student there too." She said.

"Yeah, actually I am in my seventh year too." He said as they finished putting the luggage on the cart. "Are you sure that you can handle that?" He asked.

"Yeah." Dee said with a reassuring smile. "I guess we'll see ya around the school."

"I can only hope to meet with such beauty again." He said as they left.

"OMG that was sooo corny." Hermione said laughing when they got out of earshot. "But I mean he seemed so perfect, I guess it is only right that he had to say something corny like that, so he wouldn't be perfect."

"Yeah, but did you see his smile, and hair, and his eyes, and arms, and did you see his t-shirt?" Dee said dreamily.

'She is so boy crazy' Hermione thought to herself. ' But I have to agree. He was pretty hot.' "Yeah, this one was pretty hot. If that last line wasn't so corny, would have definitely gotten a 10, but now it is only a 9." She reluctantly agreed.

"O, I don't know." Dee said, "I still thinks, that he definitely gets a 10 just he is so hot."it was there thing to rate guys. They started it when they first started to notice guys and still did it to almost everyone of them.

Hermione spotted Harry and Ginny. Leaving the cart. She ran towards them. Ginny and Harry didn't even recognize Hermione with her new look. Hermione flung her arms around Harry's neck. He had a surprised look in his eyes, but hugged the girl back. "I've missed you both so much." She said into his shoulder. Although he didn't recognize the straight red hair with black streaks or the tight red 'REBEL' halter, or the fabulous tan legs from under short black skirt, he definitely recognized the voice.

"Hermione?" Harry questioned as he pulled away to look at the beauty with Hermione's voice. "Wow." He breathed.

"I second that." Ginny said giggling. She also gave Hermione a hug. Dee came up from behind, struggling with the cart once again.

"Hey Dee." Ginny said with a smile.

"Hey y'all" She said with a thick southern accent. "How y'all been. Haven't seen you since the fu-time early this summer." She stopped herself before mentioning the funeral.

"Yeah, we've been a little busy." Harry said trying to explain his absence in Hermione's life. The truth was, he didn't know what to do. He didn't know how to act and he knew from Ron that Hermione was having a hard time with it. He was sorry for not being there, but he honestly thought that it was better if he stayed away for a while. Ron just didn't mention how much she had actually changed.

"Guess who." Ron said as he covered Hermione's eyes with his hands.

"Umm, the Imbombadable snowman?" Hermione said jokingly.

"Who?" Ginny and Ron said in unison.

"Muggle things." Hermione said. Ginny rolled her eyes, but Hermione didn't see since her eyes were still covered by Ron. She then spun around to face her captor. "Hey baby. I missed you." She said as she placed her arms around his neck.

"Me too." He said leaning in for a kiss. As soon as their lips touched Harry made gagging noises.

"Too much PDA." Ginny said jokingly. Ron and Hermione pulled apart.

"Like you two should talk. All you do is make out." Ron said sarcastically and Harry turned a pink shade.

"You know that it is like time for your Head appointment." Dee said irrupting the two couples. Everyone, except Hermione, eyed her quizzically.

"Damn." She muttered. Harry just stood there and stared. He couldn't believe that Hermoine said that, and that everyone didn't seem to notice it except him. She quickly kissed Ron. "I'll find you after the meeting." Ron gave her the saddest puppy dog eyes. "I promise" kiss" I will come back" kiss "as soon as possible." Another longer kiss then she ran off leaving the others.
