Expect the Unexpected
Chapter 1 – The Start of the Summer
Hermione sat down on her freshly made bed and glanced around her room.
"This is gonna be the last summer I have looking forward to Hogwarts."
She thought, though it saddened her to think this she was also excited. Unlike others Hermione was looking forward to the NEWTS coming their way. Glancing at her watch she realised that she better get packing or she was going to miss the portkey. Ron had invited Harry and her to spend the whole summer at the Burrow. Harry had accepted readily, he had gone to their house straight after he got off the train,
"I'll never forget the look on the Dursleys faces!"
Flashback
Harry and Ron decided to race through the barrier almost tripping up a poor muggle tourist, which earned them a stern look from Hermione.
"Sorry," Harry mouthed to Hermione. That's when he spotted the Dursleys.
"Hurry up, Potter we don't have all day!" Vernon yelled angrily scaring poor Neville who was behind them.
Harry and Ron had already arranged on the train that Harry go straight to the Burrow.
"I'm not gonna "hurry up" cos I'm not coming with you! I am going to Ron's house." Vernon looked like he could have killed Harry on the spot.
"Strange, I'm sure my parents wouldn't have got that mad if I told them that." Hermione thought.
"You mean to tell me, that we came ALL the way here to pick you up from that FREAK school, and you aren't coming! Well don't ever think that we are allowing you back into our house! Never! You ungrateful little brat!" Vernon was now turning a rather violent purple, making one little old lady ask if he was alright. He yelled at her to go away, she scuttled away like a little mouse fighting a rhino.
"Bye, Uncle! Have fun driving ALL the way home!" Harry ran off with Ron laughing, while Hermione looked at the thunderous Vernon. She spotted her parents and ran off; she didn't want a confrontation with thenow raddish coloured man.
End of Flashback
Hermione started to pack the portkey was in two hours, Dumbledore had given her a portkey in the shape of a makeup mirror on the train. While she was packing she heard a tapping, she turned and saw an owl at the window, it was a large black owl with a rather snooty look on its face.
Hermione let the owl in, she untied the letter and the bird flew of to fast for Hermione to thank it. She opened the letter and seeing who it was from she gasped.
