Twists & Turns

Chapter 1: The Party

Hermione polished her new Head Girl badge, excited to get on the Hogwarts Express. She watched as chaos ensued all around her. Everyone was in a frenzy looking for last minute things and packing them into their trunks. As Hermione waited by the door, she remembered the party for her the night before.


Hermione had walked into the kitchen of the Burrow. Members of the Order, the Weasley family, and Harry had been there, waiting to congratulate her. There was a banner hanging Congratulations, To Our New Head Girl-Hermione! Hermione had squealed with glee as she looked around. There were colorful banners and chains hanging all over the room. There was no room to breathe on the table, which was covered with food.

Harry had run over to her and hugged her, and so had (surprisingly) Ron. "Congratulations, Mia!" Ron had said, his mouth full of food already. Hermione had laughed and hugged him back. Then, Ginny had come over to compliment Hermione and hug her. Then, Ginny had gone over and sat next to Harry.

After that, all the Weasleys came up to her. "Knew you could do it, Mia!" Fred and George said, beaming. They were wearing expensive skin of who knows what. Business was booming over at Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes. Mrs. Weasley had pulled Hermione into a tight hug. All the members of the Order had shaked her hand, comgratulating her again.

"Thanks everybody!" Hermione said, happily. After everyone had settled down, they sat down to eat. Then, they started dancing. Harry had danced with Ginny, kissing her after they finally sat down, hiccuping. Ron had (rather nervously) asked Hermione to dance, and she agreed. They went off to dance.

Fred had danced with George, Mrs. Weasley with her husband, Bill with Fleur, Charlie with a foreign girl, Lupin with Tonks, and everyone else paired up with somebody. After the clock sounded midnight, Mrs. Weasley went back to her strict self. "BED! YOU'VE GOT TO GET UP EARLY TOMORROW FOR SCHOOL!"


And here they were. Hermione glanced around and saw that everyone was taking their trunks outside, putting it into the cars the Ministry had provided.

Well, last night was fun, but now I got to think about the present.

She dragged her trunk into the car and sat down. They were all waiting for her. They were going in 1 car. Ginny, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Mr. Weasley, and Mrs. Weasley were in the car.

"Off to the express!" Mrs. Weasley said, stepping on the gas pedal for Mr. Weasley.
