A/N: Hey guys this is my first fanfiction I have ever poster and I would love any feedback. I am not the most confident person, especially when it comes to English so I apologize if it is terrible. Oh and there is no way I am trying to steal J.K. Rowling's book or anything.
**Hermione's POV**
I woke up at 6 in the morning to get ready for my day, it was the last week of summer before I return to Hogwarts for my seventh, well eighth year technically so I have a few things to do today. I had found my parents at the end of the war and restored their memories and were happy to have me back and we were all safe, well most of us. I go have a shower and look over my body before I pull on some jeans, a tank top and a pair of riding boots. I got a belly button ring over the summer and a tattoo on my hip bone reading 'Believe' with a heart above the 'i'. I also have a bandage constantly over my arm where my scar that Bellatrix gave me saying mudblood, I had tried everything to remove it, even muggle plastic, surgery but nothing has worked so I have just resorted to the bandage. My hair is now tamable and falls in soft curls down my back almost reaching my butt and it is now a mousey brown color, my body also filled out in all the right places over the summer, my mum helped me a lot by making sure I wasn't skin and bones like I was when I found them after the war. I fix my face with some light foundation that will keep some sun off of me without needing sun cream, although I am tan I still worry about getting burnt. I go down the stairs to have some breakfast, I know my parents won't be up for another hour or two because it's a Sunday and they have the day off. I make myself a sundried tomato and cheese omelet and a cup of green tea with honey. Once I have finished my breakfast I go brush my teeth and write a note to my parents telling them I was taking my car and I wouldn't be back for a few hours, I stick it on the coffee machine because I know it will be the first thing they go use when they wake up.
I grab my purse and walk outside and down the driveway to my deep purple dual cab Hilux, climb in and head towards my first stop, Sleepy Hollow Spelling Farm. I work there over the summer and breaks that I have from school, it is a horse stud farm as well as a place for children to learn to ride and is also where I keep my horse, Wally. I help them train some of their horses, teach some of the children and do some occasional nursing of horses with injuries. This is a regular trip for me as I have been working here for a few years, I always come to say goodbye to them and Wally before I need to prepare for school. I pull into the drive way and get out to open the gate and a couple of yearlings trot over to the fence so I give them a small piece of licorice each and get back in my car to go through the gate then back out to shut the gate and in again to drive up to the car park and walk to the stables.
"Hermione!" I hear the call of a group of young children.
"Hey guys, how was your ride?" I say walking over to the group of kids putting their stuff away in the tack room.
"Good." They all sing.
"Why weren't you teaching us today 'Mione?" a young girl asks.
"I'm sorry Ella I have to go back to school next week so I won't be teaching until the Christmas holidays." I say picking the girl up and resting her on my hip.
"But, I don't want you to go." She says hiding her head in the nape of my neck.
"I will come back I promise." I say lifting her chin up.
"Good." She says kissing my cheek and I let her down.
"I believe you need to go brush your ponies, off you go" I say and the children run off to their assigned ponies.
"Hey 'Mione." A middle aged woman says.
"Hey Viv, are you right to look after Wal while I'm gone?" I ask picking up my halter and a biscuit of hay.
"Yeah, who is riding him while you are gone?" she asks following me over to Wally.
"Ally is, but feel free to hop on him whenever just let her know because he turns to crap if you ride him more than three times a week." I say walking into his stall, slipping on his halter and giving him some licorice before letting him go to his hay.
"Awesome, thank you. Are you going to be able to keep your phone on you this time?" she asks handing over a brush once I have taken off his rug.
"I will see what I can do, it might be different this year. I will text you if it works but if not I am sorry in advance." I say bushing Wally over briefly and unlocking the back door of the stable to allow him into his paddock.
"Okay, I guess you are going now." She says sadly.
"Yeah I'm sorry I still have to run up to the café." I say patting Wally goodbye and coming out of his stall and giving Viv a hug.
"It's okay, I will see you soon-ish anyway." She smiles giving me a bigger hug.
"Yeah, well you better go and check on those little ones, I am going to head up and say goodbye to everyone else, I will see you when I come back." I say giving her one last hug and walking up to the main house.
"Oh 'Mione, leaving again so soon?" Steve says.
"Yeah sorry Steve I have to head back to school, but it's my last year then I can come and work and ride more." I say walking over to him and giving him a hug goodbye.
"Well if you decide to go to uni you know there will always be a spot here for you." He says releasing me from the hug.
"I will remember that thanks Steve. Now where is your darling wife?" I ask.
"She is in the kitchen making herself a tea." He says sitting back down.
"Thanks Steve." I say walking into the kitchen. "Hey Anne."
"'Mione, darling time for school again?" she says turning around to face me.
"Yeah but I will be back for the Christmas holidays." I say pulling her into a hug.
"Don't worry about it if you can't just get your parents to let me know." She says with a friendly smile. We are basically a big family here every one cares of one another and if we aren't working we will generally sit down and have a coffee together or some food whether it be morning tea or dinner.
"Thank you Anne, I best be off I didn't really tell my parents I was out I just left a note and hoped they would find it." I say pulling her into one last hug.
"Okay dearie, have a good term at school." She says letting me go.
"Thanks Anne, see you later." I call as I walk out the front to my car and drive out the gate and shut it again. Next stop Starbucks, my other job, we are also a family there but I don't think we are as close as we are at the farm. I pull up in the car park and go inside.
"'Mione!" I hear my work mates call.
"Hey guys, how are you all?" I say walking over to the counter.
"Good, are you leaving us already?" A girl named Leah asks.
"Yeah, sorry guys I should be back for Christmas holidays. I just came in to say goodbye." I say.
"Sad face." Nancy laughs. "Come give us all a hug!"
All of the girls come in for a hug. "Come one Ashley get in here and give me a hug." I say seeing that he is standing off to the side looking uncomfortable.
"I suppose I could break my no hug rule for you." He laughs pulling me into a hug.
"Yay. Hey Leah can you put through a chai latte with skinny milk for me." I say opening my purse to hand her the money.
"Sure, you don't have sugars do you?" she says taking the money.
"Nope. Are you ready to go back to school?" I ask her.
"Not really, I was enjoying the holidays." She laughs.
"Yeah I know what you mean." I say getting my latte from Nancy.
"What are you talking about 'Mione, we all know you love school." Ashley laughs.
"Ash don't you have work you are meant to be doing?" I say poking him as he comes to stand beside me.
"Yes ma'am." He laughs.
"Well I best be off guys, I will see you later, have fun." I say waving as I walk out.
After I have gone to the shops to pick up a few things that I know we need at home like soap and a few veggies and some cold meat, I return home.
"Mum, dad, I'm home." I call putting the things away.
"We are out on the porch." I hear my mum call and I walk out to see them.
"Morning sleepy heads." I laugh giving them each a hug.
"It's the weekend dear you know we like to sleep in." my dad says.
"Yes dad, well I got a few things and just put them in the fridge and because it is now noon I am going for a run and I am going to do a quick work out too." I say to them looking at my watch when I say its noon.
"Okay honey, try not to work yourself too much." My mum says to me. She worries I will get to thin again.
"Yes mum." I say and go inside and up to my room to get changed. I put on some three quarter, tight, black running pants and a bright pink lightweight running shirt with my florescent runners and go out the front door and start my usual running route. At my half way point there the fireman's work out shed where I go in and do my work out with one of my friends Nathan, we meet here regularly as we both go running around the same time and it is his half way point as well. We go into our usual routine of stretching then some basic sit-ups, push-ups and planks before we go on to chin-ups and weights, etc. Once we have finished we go our separate ways home to finish our work out. I come into my driveway and do my stretches to warm down. I walk inside and I can hear my parents and some other voices in the dining room.
"Hermione, dear could you come in here please." I hear my mother call.
