Chapter 1: Changing for the better
Hogwarts tower stood tall on its hill top as the sun began to set after another eventful day was coming to an end, just like the school year. Hermione Granger lay on her bed as a large ginger cat with a squashed flat face and bottle-brush tail sat on her stomach. Hermione sighed as her second last year of being at Hogwarts was coming to an end; she put her hand on the cat and patted him gently. She was wondering what she could possibly do next. She thought about this for most of the afternoon. She eventually decided to go for a walk around the school grounds and try to find some of her friends, Harry and Ron. She started school with both of these boys and meet them on the first train ride to the school, they were her best friends. She sat up on her bed causing Crookshanks to jump off her.
"Ello' Hermione." A voice was heard from the door way.
Hermione looked over at the door and saw a medium height girl with vivid, flaming red, long hair and a happy smile on her face.
"Oh, hi Ginny." Hermione replied as she flashed a smile back.
"How are you?" Ginny asked as she made her way over to Hermione.
"I'm fine, you?" Hermione asked as Crookshanks walked around in a circle, then cuddled up to himself and went back to sleep next to Hermione.
"Well I was just wandering around and decided to come see you." Ginny always seemed to have a happy tone to her voice.
"Oh, okay." Hermione stretched out her arms, and then looked at Ginny.
"Only one day to go until summer break!" Ginny said excitedly clapping her hands then clasping them and bringing her now fist next to her face.
"You're so dramatic." Hermione sighed out as she rolled her eyes.
"What ever do you mean? It's something to be excited about!" Ginny said as she grinned over exaggerated every word.
"Well I only have one more year left in this school, at least you have two." Hermione replied with a sigh as she fell back on her bed.
"You make that sound like a bad thing." Ginny knelt over her as she looked down.
"Well in a way it is, I mean I'm going to miss this place." Hermione sighed as she playfully pushed Ginny from looking over her.
"Well, you don't have to go to school at least." Ginny said with a shrug as Hermione sat back up.
"I've already learnt everything they teacher here myself." Hermione rolled her eyes, and then looked at Ginny.
"Then why are you complaining?" Ginny question as she pursed her lips together slightly confused.
"I'm not complaining." Hermione protested pulled herself off the bed and into a stand position.
"Where are you going?" Ginny looked at her as she remained seated on Hermione's single bed.
"To find Harry and Ron." Hermione replied as she smiled and slowly walked away.
"Well bye." Ginny rolled her eyes and puffed out in annoyance.
"Bye." Hermione replied with a sort wave over her shoulder as she walked out the door.
Hermione walked down the spiral staircase and into the main Gryffindor common room, the fireplace was burning bright as students were here and there. Red, comfortable lounges were placed around the room, some in front of the fireplace, others were placed facing each other for some places where people could just talk. A table was in the middle of the room, but almost against the wall, pictures hung on the wall in random places, and big bookshelves filled the wall closest to the entrance to the room with a lot of books filling every part of the shelves. Hermione walked swiftly across the room towards the exit of the room. When she had reached the exit the portrait swung open, Hermione raised an eyebrow until two Gryffindor students walked in talking to one another. She shook her head as she quickly walked out before the portrait of the fat lady dressed in a long white dress and had a hat with fruit on, would close on her.
Once she was out of the Gryffindor dorms she walked down the wide, creamy colored staircases. She wondered alone down through the castle halls, paintings everywhere moving and having their own little lives, Hermione stopped and looked at one of the pictures, it was a small painting, but nothing was in it, nothing but a dark blue background.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the filthy little mud blood know-it-all." A voice sneered behind her.
Hermione slowly turned around to see Draco standing there smirking at her with his stormy grey eyes staring at her, he with his friends Crabbe and Goyle.
"Well if it isn't the pathetic excuse for a wizard." Hermione shot back at him angrily.
"Don't you dare speck to me like that mud blood!" Draco growled as he's nose wrinkled in anger.
"Whatever Malfoy." Hermione rolled her not wanting this to go any further as she turned around to walk off.
"Stupid mud blood, all it does is thinks it knows it all." Draco was talking to Crabbe and Goyle as they both let out a snicker.
"I know more then you Malfoy." Hermione stopped walking as she whipped back around to face him.
"Ha, you are a nerd." Draco smirked as Hermione sent him a death glare.
"Hermione?" A voice squeaky called from behind the Slytherin 'Prince'.
They all turned to see who had called her, it was Ron standing there nervously but trying hard not to show it. Hermione was reveled to see him there, that way she didn't have to start a fight with Malfoy again. Hermione ran past Draco, but before she could get past him he grabbed her waist and brought her towards him.
"That's right mud blood run to your little boyfriend, just don't forget, he isn't going to be spending all next year with you, I am." Draco whispered into Hermione's ear as she tried to pull away.
"You think you're going to be head boy? I doubt that." Hermione replied as she pulled away and ran over to Ron.
"Are you okay?" Ron asked as he tried to stand tall and strong as Malfoy walked away.
"Yes, thanks to you." Hermione replied as she crashed into him, hugging him tightly.
"He was calling me a mud blood again, it's so annoying!" She yelled as she finished hugging him.
"He is a loser 'Mione, don't worry about it." Ron replied to her anger.
"I know he's a loser, doesn't make it any more annoying." Hermione sighed as she rubbed her forehead with the palm of her right hand.
"What are you doing anyway?" Ron raised an eye brow in almost a suspicious.
"I was looking for you and Harry." Hermione replied simply as she stared at him with a slight frown
"Come on then, we have to go get Harry." Ron gently took a hold of Hermione's hand as he began to drag her behind him.
"Where is he?" Hermione asked with slight confusion in her voice.
"Quidditch field." Ron replied simply.
"Why? Shouldn't he, you know, be starting to pack?"
"He doesn't want to go."
"Oh, you go get him, I have to go back to the dorms." Hermione said suddenly as she stopped in her tracks.
"Why?" Ron squeaked out as he looked at her.
"I have to go back to the dorms for something, okay?" Hermione replied turning around and started to walk back towards the Griffin common rooms.
OoOoOoOoOoOo Hermione's point of view OoOoOoOoOoOo
I didn't know why I needed to get back to my dorm, I just needed to. I hate Malfoy, calling me a stupid mud blood. I ran up the stair towards the dorm, I felt the need to get there as soon as I could. I was running up a staircase as it began to move, startled by surprised I turned and grabbed onto the cool marble railing. Once it had stopped I sprinted off again, I turned around a corner and then I fell to the floor, I must have crashed into someone.
"Watch it!" A deep voice yelled as I realized the voice to be Draco's.
"Why don't you." I sighed at my luck to run into him twice in the time span of ten minutes.
"Granger." Draco looked at me with an evil look in his stormy eyes.
"Malfoy." I replied mimicking his last name calling.
"Better watch yourself mud blood." Draco smirked down at me wickedly.
"Whatever Draco." I said as I slowly pulled myself up of the ground.
Before he could say anything else I pushed past him and ran towards the Gryffindor dorms. Mud blood, the words of him saying that repeated in my head over and over again. People always called me nerd, mud blood, loser, bookworm. It annoyed me SO much!
"Mione!" A very familiar voice called out behind me.
I stopped running and spun around on my heels to see Ginny, sure she was my friend, one of my best friends in fact, but she just pops up everywhere.
"Ginny." I looked at her slightly breathless as I put my hands on my knees to support myself.
"Why the rush?" Ginny asked as she put her hand on my back caringly.
"I'm not sure." I replied truthfully as I stood upright and looked down at her.
"Oh….. I understand." Ginny gave me a weird look as I didn't quite understand myself either.
"Well Malfoy was calling me a mud blood again." I sighed out the word 'Malfoy' and 'mud blood' as I gave a low growl.
"He is such an ass." Ginny shook her head in disapproval as her long, red hair fell from its place behind her ear as it fell into her face.
"When you're right, you're right." I replied with a slight smile on my face.
"Getting ready to pack?" She asked sweetly as she pushed her hair back behind her ears.
I nodded slowly, I didn't know what it was but the urge to come back here had passed and I felt kind of strange as I breathed deeply.
"Come on then." Ginny smiled as she grabbed a hold my arm and began pulling me.
We finished the short distance to the Gryffindor common rooms as we turned to see the fat lady in the portrait looking around quiet 'posh' like.
"Hello." She said a little snobbish as she looked down at us.
"What's the password?" Ginny whispered to me, how could she forget? She has been using it all year.
"Lionsbliss." I said loudly and clearly.
"Fine don't say hello." The fat lady mumbled loud enough for us to hear.
"Hello." Ginny said slowly trying to keep her voice happy.
"Hello." The fat lady smiled as the portrait opened slowly.
Once the portrait had opened all the way Ginny and I made our way into the common room as students were all talking to each other about their break plans.
"She is so annoying!" Ginny laughed out as she looked at me with a grin.
"Only have to have her for another year." I said a little smug as I nudged Ginny subtly.
"Shut up, you were sad about leaving!" Ginny frowned at me as we walked towards the spiral staircase that split into two different directions.
"I am, but she is one thing I'm not going to miss." We both laughed as we walked up the stairs that led to the girl's dorms.
"Well go get packed, and I will see you at dinner." Ginny almost ordered sternly as she turned to open her dorm room.
"Sure." I replied with a slight nod as I walked just a door down and opened the small wooden door that led into the sixth year's dorm.
When I walked in, no one else was there; I sighed as I walked over to my red, single sized bed and collapsed onto it. I pulled out my brown slightly curved wand from inside my cloak pocket and sat up on my bed.
"Pack." I said as I flicked my wand.
My clothes began to pack up neatly by themselves, it was a pretty easy spell and it was easy to remember too. I fell back onto the bed just thinking, thinking of all the stuff Draco called me, all the stuff people called me, maybe I should talk to my sister, when I get home. (A/N J.K Rowling did write a thing for a sister for Hermione, but decided against it, even though she wrote it to be a younger sister, I thought an older sister would be better -)
I felt my eyes close slowly, as I let out a small yawn, covering my mouth with the back of my left hand tiredly.
I felt a hand on my shoulder shaking me; I opened my eyes tiredly as I rubbed them to wake up a little more, I saw Ginny standing there. I sat up and yawned as I looked at the young girl.
"You missed dinner." She said while plunking down onto my bed as I moved slightly towards her then back to where I was sitting originally
"I what?" I asked as I glanced over at my clock as it flashed 9:30pm at me.
"Yeah it's nine-thirty." Ginny nodded her head as I rolled my eyes at her.
"You could have woke me up you know." I said slightly hungry as I put my hand onto my stomach.
"I thought you were already down there when I knocked on the door and there was no answer, it was quite boring really, Dumbledore was wishing the seventh year a happy life blah, blah, blah." Ginny said as she used her hands to express what she was saying even more.
"Right." I let out another yawn as I brought up my right hand to cover it once again.
"Yes." Ginny smiled as she patted Crookshanks whom I just then realized, he was curled up next to me.
"You know because of the time, you could have let me sleep." I growled as I collapsed back on my bed.
"I know." Ginny grinned as she hopped off the bed and walked off.
"Hey!" I called out to her as I sat up quickly, but she didn't come back in.
I looked around the room and at least two other girls where in the room Jasmine Aue and Stacey Cooper. When Jasmine looked at me she smiled at me.
"Hello Hermione." She said nicely, she was always such a nice girl, ever since the first time I met her.
"Hi." I replied with a smile, I fell back onto my bed as I felt the pillows cuddle my head.
I was really tired as I stared at my ceiling for a few seconds; I felt my eyes getting heavier as I shut them slowly.
The noises of continues beeps filled my ears as I opened my eyes with a growl; all the alarms were going off together loudly. I looked at the time; it was seven in the morning. All that was left to do was have breakfast then go home; I pulled the warm blankets off my body as a chill hit my skin causing me to shiver slightly, I sat up as I switched my alarm off then stretched.
"Finally, then end off a school year." Stacey called out happily as she switched off her alarm as well.
"Who do you recon will be Head Boy?" I heard a girl called Amy Perkins asked as the movements to get ready began to happen all over the room.
I pulled myself off my bed as I slowly made my way over to grab my toiletry things, I was still hungry as I heard my stomach growl lowly.
"I say Draco Malfoy." A girl called Jessica said as she brushed her long bleached blonde hair.
I let out a low growl as I pulled out my small make up bag and a white towel.
"Maybe Harry Potter." Yes well done Jasmine.
"What about Head Girl?" Stacey asked as she was pulling stuff out of her overly packed suitcase, me duh
"Hermione duh." Jasmine said as they all stopped what they were doing and looked over to me.
"…… Maybe…." I said slowly as I pulled out my rode and some normal clothes to go under it.
"Hermione you've got Head Girl written all over you." Jasmine said kindly as she smiled.
"Yeah, she looks like one two." Stacey said in a smart-ass tone as Amy and Jessica laughed.
I rolled my eyes at the three girls as I piled my towel, clothes, robe and make up bag into an easy carry pile as I picked them up and left the room.
I walked over to the bathroom to go for a quick shower, when I walked into the bathrooms there where all the younger years waiting to go for a shower, I sigh as i decided just to get dressed, I could have a shower when I got home. I walked back to my room as I threw everything onto my bed, I put on a pink t-shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans with my rode over it as I quickly stuffed my towel and make up bag back into my suitcase, just after bushing my hair that is.
"Mione?" Ginny's voice came into hearing range as I turned around to the doorway to see her standing there.
"Yes?" I replied as I got up and walked over to her.
"Come on, Breakfast." Ginny squealed, I could tell she was excited to get home and not have school for a while.
"Alright, alright." I rolled my eyes as we walked out the door.
We walked down ten sets of staircases, past pictures saying good-bye and other people walking slowly down towards the great hall in a mass as it was the only place to go this morning.
When Ginny and I had finally reached the great hall, which was a vast chamber with an enchanted ceiling which mirrors the sky outside, we entered as the four long tables for the four houses where place next to each other as the seats were filling up fast. We heard loud conversations, I looked around and saw Harry and Ron waiting for me, I smiled as a walked over to them.
"Hello Hermione, I didn't see you at dinner last night." Harry said to me as I reached them.
"Umm yeah I fell to sleep." I said as I smiled at them.
"Happy to be going home?" Ron asked as he looked at me from his seat.
"Well yes and no." I replied sitting down in a seat at Gryffindor's table which sat next to Slytherin, and Ravenclaw's tables.
"Why both?" Harry asked as he turned to his left to look at me.
"Well I can't wait to s –" Before I could finish my sentence Dumbledore's loud voice filled the room causing all the conversations to cease.
We all turned our attention to the wise, old professor standing at the front of the hall, he stood behind his post which had a golden owl with it wings spread wide and proud on the front of it with candles alit.
"Students we have had another great year, we are wishing to wish the seventh years a good-bye." Dumbledore said as he began to clap, I decided to clap too, and then everyone else followed.
Dumbledore went on about things that we must do in the break, I looked up at the roof as it reviled a sunny, clear day and clouds where in sight, then I remembered the first time I entered the great hall, I was such and nerd…….. Then I realized I was still that nerd I was six years ago.
"Hermione." Ginny nudged me as I looked at her, when did she sit there?
"What?" I asked slightly annoyed she stopped me in mid thought.
"Food, you where just kind of, out of it." Ginny said too me as I looked at the table to see food there.
There was always so much food to choose from, like fruit to hot food to cereal. I picked out what I wanted to eat; I got some toast, an apple and a drink of milk.
"Not very hungry?" Ron questioned with a piece of bacon in his mouth as he glanced at my food.
I looked at the food that was piled onto his plate, I shock my head. He had everything on his plate that was on the table. All but the healthy stuff that is.
"No, not really." I replied as I took a sip of my nice cold glass of milk.
After breakfast was finished we walked out and down towards the station, our stuff had already be put in the train and I knew Crookshanks was waiting for me at the train station. I looked back at the castle before we got all the way to the station, I felt a little sad as I looked at the tower standing tall in its place.
"One more year left guys." I said to Harry and Ron both stopped walking and turned around to look at the castle like I was.
"Yeah, going to miss it Mione?" Ron asked as I looked at him before nodding with a slight smile.
"Come on, we should get onto the train before there are no carriages left." Harry said as he began to pull my arm gently.
"That's what happened last time." I laughed as we made out way down the steep hill that led to the station.
"Yeah but at least you were with Harry, I was with Malfoy!" Ron shivered dramatically as Harry smiled and I let out a small laugh
When we got to the station, just as I thought Crookshanks was waiting for me on a brown colored seat, I smiled as I walked over and picked him up.
"Come on Mione let's get a seat together this time!" Ron yelled out as I laughed and walked onto the long red Hogwarts express.
We walked along the narrow walk way and looked in every carriage we passed, most only had one space left, I walked in front of Harry and Ron because I figured I could grab a carriage, no more then two carriages down I spotted a free carriage as I quickly walked in and then put Crookshanks on the green with black lines colored seats and called Harry and Ron.
"Nice work Hermione." Harry said to me as he sat down.
"Thank." I smiled as I picked Crookshanks up and put him on my lap just after I said sat down as well.
"One more year." Ron said as he stretched and sat back into the chair.
"Yeah, then that's it." Harry said with a sad kind of smile to his face
"Well at least we had fun." I said making them both really smile.
"And we almost got ourselves killed, more then once I might add." Ron smiled as he remembered the memories of that year.
"And all the fights with Malfoy." Harry said as I looked at him and thought about Draco again.
"Malfoy is a little cockroach who should be locked away and never be released." I said angrily, I was sick of him, totally sick.
"I agree with 'Mione." Ron said as he gave me that goofy smile of his.
We continued to talk as the train traveled its distance to take us home, I was excited about seeing my family, mum, dad and my sister. The train ride seemed to always take forever; I looked out the window as the train moved across the tracks.
The train was pulling in for a stop; it was finally at platform nine and three quarters. I stood up as did Harry and Ron.
"We're back." I said excitingly as I held Crookshanks in my arms tightly.
"Wow Hermione, you didn't seem too happy before." Harry said as I opened the carriage door.
"Well I can't wait to see my family." I replied as we walked out of the carriage.
"Oh, we get it." Ron laughed as we walked down towards the exit of the train.
When we got off the train I hugged Harry, then Ron and we said our good byes, I knew Harry didn't want to leave but like everybody else, he had too. I looked around and saw Ginny running towards me with that smile of hers on her face.
"See you next year!" Ginny yelled as she run up and hugged me.
"You too, have a good break and keep in touch!" I said hugging her back.
"Ginny!" Ron yelled out in annoyance at his sister as I tapped his foot.
"Coming." Ginny yelled back as she let go of me.
"Bye." She said as she ran off waving over her shoulder at me.
"Yo' witchy." I heard a voice call out; I slowly turned around to see my sister leaning on one of the platforms poles.
"Charmian!" I yelled as I ran up to her.
"Hey Hermione." Charmian laughed as she put her arms out for I hug, I ran into her almost as I 'tackle hugged her'.
"Where are mum and dad?" I asked as I let go and took a quick glance around.
"Waiting outside, you know they feel different." Charmian said as I picked up Crookshanks from putting him down to hug Charmian.
"I see you still have that cat." Charmian smiled as she patted him, causing him to purr.
"Yeah of course, he is my cat." I replied as I rolled my eyes and hugged Crookshanks.
"Come on let's go." Charmian said as I nodded.
We grabbed my things off the train as I passed Crookshanks to Charmian, we then walked towards the wall where we had to go to get out, Charmian seemed anxious from going through the wall, I wouldn't blame her I was too the first time I had to go through the wall. I grabbed her arm as we ran through the wall.
"God that's weird." Charmian said as she shivered and rubbed her arms.
"You should see Hogwarts." I said as I laughed quietly more to myself then her.
"Come tell me about you're year." Charmian said as we walked through the station with her carrying Crookshanks and me carrying me belongings.
"Well it was a pretty good year, besides-" Before I could finish I saw Draco walk in front of us.
"Well if it isn't the mud blood." Draco smirked at me as I glared back at him.
"Shove off Malfoy." I growled as I continued to glare at him
"You're muggle sister hey." Draco looked Charmian up and down for a minute or two.
"Who is that?" Charmian asked as she looked at me.
"No one important." I said as I grabbed onto her top as I began to drag her off.
"Whatever mud blood, I'll see you next year." He smirked as he walked off, jerk.
"Mud blood?" Charmian looked at me with a slightly confused look on her face.
"It means dirty blood, muggle born." I replied with a frown as I continued walking.
"Well that's mean." Charmian frowned.
"Yeah but he calls me it all the time, or nerd, or bookworm, something stupid like that." I said as we walked towards the exit.
"Does everybody call you that?" Charmian asked seeming very concerned.
"Most." I replied with a low sigh.
"That's just like little kids these days." Charmian informed me as she acted all wise.
"You're only two years older." I said sarcastically as I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, but I am older then you, and it's great." Charmian laughed as we reached the exit from the train station.
"I was wondering." I asked just before we went out of the door.
"What?" Charmian asked as she raised her eyebrow.
"I want to change." I said looking at her.
"In what way?" Charmian asked me.
"I want a makeover." I replied as I looked up at her.
All Charmian did was smile, I knew that was a yes.
