Hermione woke up to a beautiful morning. This was the first morning she had woken up happy for a long time. She looked around the expensively decorated bedroom and then got up to get ready. Today was the day she went back to Hogwarts. Hermione called a house elf to help her get dressed.

Yes, a house elf. Hermione was not a granger; she was a Saphira, one of the most influential pureblood families in the wizarding world. Her family had gone into hiding because of the threat of Voldemort. Only in the last year were they able to come out of hiding and move back into their mansion.

At the beginning of the summer her parents were killed by some of the few stray death eaters left after the war. Now Hermione was all alone, living in the huge mansion alone. However today she went back to Hogwarts and the endless nights she spent alone would finally come to an end.

Hermione had always known about being a pureblood, but it was critical for her to keep it a secret until the war was over. This was the year she planned to tell her friends the truth about her heritage.

Milly her house elf, paid of course, helped her get organized to go to Kings Cross. She picked out an outfit that consisted of a turquoise long tank top with decorative champagne coloured beading at the top and bottom over light blue jeans and strapy champagne kitten heels to match. As a last minute addition she put on her moms sapphire necklace, a hint towards her real background, and her head girls badge. She looked gorgeous.

Last year she had become quite the fashion icon along with her best friend Ginny. She had always been pretty even though her hair had been uncontrollable. That had been long since fixed with a couple of spells from the popular Teen Witch magazine.

Finally she was done and Milly had finished packing for her. She then shrunk her trunk to fit in her pocket, grabbed a quick breakfast of fruit and yogurt, and apparated to the train station.

She walked through the barrier and looked apon the crimson Hogwarts express and then smiled one of her most genuine smiles since the death of her beloved parents. The next thing she knew she was swept up into a bear hug from behind. She turned aound to see Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, her best friends.

"We missed you so much Hermione!" the said in unison.

"I missed you guys too."
