Chapter 1- The Train Station
Hermione looked at her watch, and then looked around King's Cross Station for Ron and Harry.
"It's just like Ron and Harry to be late," Hermione muttered.
"Talking to yourself already, Hermione?" asked a voice from behind her. Hermione screamed, and then turned around.
"Fred, don't ever scare me like that again!" exclaimed Hermione.
"Sorry," Fred said sheepishly.
"Whatever. Would you happen to have any idea where they are?" Hermione questioned.
"Knowing them, they probably convinced Mom and Dad to stop for food," Fred grinned.
"That figure's," groaned Hermione.
"What are you doing now that you've graduated from Hogwarts?"
"George and I are going to open up a joke shop," said Fred.
"I thought the two of you were working at Zonko's," stated Hermione.
"We were, but only so we could open up our joke shop," replied Fred.
"Wow. I'm impressed," answered Hermione.
"Re-," started Fred.
"Hermione!" shouted Ron and Harry.
"Harry! Ron!" Hermione shouted back, running towards them. "You two took long enough."
"Sorry Hermione," they said, while giving their friend an odd look.
"Gee Hermione, you've really changed," said Ron.
(A/N: use your imagination)
"The two of you have also changed," Hermione answered. "Like, a lot."
"Thanks 'Mione," they chorused.
"Welcome," she told them.
"You three better get on the train before it leaves," Fred said.
"Oh, Fred, where's the rest of your family?"
Fred smirked at Ron and Harry, glad she asked him instead of them.
"They're all outside waiting, except for Ginny. Knowing her, she's already on the train," he said, giving Ron and Harry a dirty look.
Apparently they got the message because they muttered, "Excuse us for being hungry."
"You two do remember that there will be food on the train right?" Hermione asked. "Anyway, we'd better get on the train and to our compartment before the train leaves. Thank you Fred."
"You're welcome. Bye, " Fred said to them as they got on the train.
"Bye," they said as they waved to him.
"Tell your family I said hi," called Hermione.
"Okay," he called back. They got on the train, and started walking to their compartment.
"What was that all about Hermione?" asked Ron.
"We were just talking while waiting for certain people to show up," she said to Ron.
They got to their compartment, and found Ginny, Neville, and Luna in there already. Everyone said hello to each other as they settled in the compartment.
"How was everyone's break? You did finish your homework, didn't you?" Hermione asked anxiously.
The group looked at each other, and then back at Hermione.
"Hermione," groaned Ron, "Is that all you think about?"
Hermione glared at Ron before answering. "Apparently someone didn't finish their homework. And, no, you can't look at it Ron."
"I wonder who the new DADA teacher is," mused Ginny.
"If the teacher's bad, we should continue with the DA meetings."
Everyone looked up as they noticed Lavender and Parvati entered the compartment. They soon became busy, playing Exploding Snap and remembering various memories from their DA meetings when someone opened the compartment door.
