Hermione couldn't believe it why does all this stuff happen to harry he is probably one of the nicest people she has ever met. He had no choice but to use the Patronis charm he had to save himself and his cousin. Hermione just recently heard the news as she only arrived to 12 Grimmauld place a day ago. She spent her summer in California on vacation thought it be best get her mind off the fact Voldermort has returned. During that summer Hermione style change she still was her she just changed her look a bit. Everyone was shocked when she opened the door.

"Hermione wow you look amazing!" Ginny said hugging her friend.

"Thanks Ginny California will do that to you"

Hermione was happy with her new look. She was wearing a summer dress that was a champagne or eggshell on top with a nice lace design the bottom of the dress was a light navy blue with flowers on it that came up to her middle thigh. She paired the dress with a brown belt around the waist. Even though she in a dress she still wanted to be conservative so she had a light worn denim jacket. Her hair was tamed finally she found product that worked since she couldn't use magic outside of school yet. It was a dark blonde on top and had lighter blonde highlights towards the ends. Her make-up was simple just browns a nudes colors she went with a natural look she wanted to enhance her features not hide them.

"I can't believe it bet you Fr..."

"sssh Ginny not so loud you know that's confidential"

"right I'm sorry I'm just so thrilled, You were always pretty but you look more polished"

"Thanks"

Yes she was crushing on a certain red head and no it wasn't Ron her and Ron would only be friends he seems quite happy with his new flame Lavender. Hermione didn't really like her but it made Ron happy so what can you do. No Hermione was crushing on none other than Fred Weasley.

"So where is everyone?" Hermione asked

"you mean where's a certain brother of mine who has a twin named George?"

"Hermione just rolled her eyes.

"There upstairs Ron and mom are in the kitchen. Dad's with lupin, moody, kingsley, and Sirius in the room upstairs on the left"

"Thanks how was your summer? How's Lavender?"

"It was great. She's good"

"Hermione dear!" nest thing Hermione knew Mrs. Weasley gave her hug she gave such motherly hugs she was like a second mom to Hermione.

"Hello Mrs. Weasley" She was let go finally

Then she finally heard a voice of a certain red head whose twin she was crushing on.

"Is that our favorite book worm?" George said coming down the stairs followed by Fred

"George! Fred!"

"Oh my happened to our bushy book hair book worm?"

"I do say Forge she may be an imposter'

"Yes quit right"

"Stop it you two she was in California for the summer she got that California touch to her" Ginny said

"Well our dear Hermione you do look ravishing doesn't she Gred?"
"Most defiantly!"

Ginny and Hermione headed upstairs to get Hermione caught up with what was going on.

Hermione couldn't sleep her head was swarming with questions. Harry will be here tomorrow and some of those will get answered. She was finishing getting ready for bed, Ginny was already dead asleep. It was summer so it was still hot. So Hermione decided to wear a pair pink pajama shorts that were from Hollister they were a little shorter then Hermione thought when she bought them but hey w/e it's just for sleeping in plus she was hoping Fred see her. She paired it with a white tank top that went right below her bellow button she decided not to wear a bra home is where the bra isn't. She put her long hair into a high ponytail to get it out of her face. Since she couldn't sleep she decided to go to the living area and curl up with a book and read a bit. Her mind drifted off to Fred and how handsome he got over the summer his red hair was now shorter than before but still good amount and qudditch really did him well he got pretty broad during the summer. His smile made her melt. She hope he liked the change I mean he looked like he did she didn't do it to impress him but feel better about herself but pleasing him was a plus. She let her mind wander without realizing someone was coming down the stairs.
