The sun slowly crept through the window, shining brightly on a sleeping form. The warmness of the rays had touched her face, wakening her from her peaceful slumber. While slowly getting up Hermione Granger had started to rub the sleepiness from her eyes. Then it hit her today was the day she was to go back to Hogwarts for her final year. She sudden shot her head towards her clock and noticed that it was already 9:30. She was to be at the train station by 10:30 to meet her best friends.
With a groan Hermione jumped out of bed and went straight to her bathroom to get ready. ( thoughts)
Why did I have to wake up late today ... why... well I bet Harry and Ron wont get to the train station on time anyway. they always seem to end up coming about 5 minutes right before the train leaves. Hermione turned on the shower, slipped out of her clothes and went into the warm water that was now raining down on her body.
While in the shower she continued to contemplate to herself. Well at least I've been made head girl. I just hope that either Ron or Harry had been made head boy. I just know one of them would be made head boy if not at least someone from Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw or another Gryffindor. I doubt a Slytherin was made head boy.
Once finished with her shower Hermione came out of the washroom in her bathrobe and started to look for something to wear. After thinking fast, since she had limited time, she had picked out her outfit. She wore a quarter sleeved sweater that was white and a blue knee length skirt with white knee high socks and black clogs to match. She took her somewhat less bushy but still a little busy hair and managed to put it in a high pony tail.
"Hermione Vivian Granger it is already 10 o'clock get down here and don't for get to bring your trunk!" yelled Mr. Granger
Hermione quickly rechecked everything in her trunk to make sure she didn't forget anything. She grabbed her wand from her bedside table and dragged her trunk downstairs. She then scooped up her cat Crookshanks and put him in his cage and brought him downstairs as well. After grabbing a piece of buttered toast and a small bottle of apple juice Hermione went outside to find her dad putting her trunk in the car and her mom waiting for her in the car with Crookshanks cage right beside her.
" Finally I was about to think you were still asleep." teased her dad
She giggled, " Course not dad." she said
During the car ride to the train station Hermione's mother had given her that same speech about how to do her best in school, stay out of trouble and all.
Hermione was somewhat drifting out during her mother's speech thinking about how it would be her last year and how she would be graduating and become an independent witch. This will be the very last time my parents are ever going to bring me to King's Cross so I can go to Hogwarts. Its as if when I was coming here for my first year, meeting Harry and Ron, and being nearly killed by a troll, had happened just yesterday.
Flashback
Hermione was 11 years old and was helping look for an odd toad named Trevor. She has just left another compartment seeing that the toad was not there. She was about to ask the two boys in the next compartment if they saw the toad but then noticed they were doing something. One boy had bright red hair and the other had raven colored hair. They seem to be pigging out on sweets.
"Oh umm have you seen a Toad named Trevor, some boy named Neville has seem to have lost it?" asked Hermione. They were about to reply when she noticed that they were in the middle of doing magic.
"Oh your doing magic let's see then." said Hermione.
The boy with the red hair cleared his throat and raised his wand and pointed it towards his pet rat.
"Sunshine daisies, buttermellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!" said the boy with a little bit of chocolate in his mouth. A shock went through the rat but nothing had happened.
"You call that magic?" asked Hermione
"like you can do any better?" asked the red headed boy.
"Of course I can, watch." stated Hermione she went into the compartment and sat right across from the boy with raven hair. She pointed her wand towards the boy's broken glasses.
"Ocilousrepairo" said Hermione (spelling might be wrong)
suddenly the boys broken glass had repaired themselves. The red headed boy was eating some candy then made a second glance at his friend.
"Good lord your Harry Potter!" exclaimed Hermione
"My name is Hermione Granger, and you are?" asked Hermione when she noticed the red headed boy looking at her.
"Ron Weasely." said the boy after he finished swallowing his last piece of candy.
" Pleasure." replied Hermione " well you best start putting on your robes because we will be arriving soon." stated Hermione right before she was about to leave she gave Ron on last comment.
"You've got dirt on your nose, right there." she said pointing to the side of here nose as an example.
Hermione was about to go on with her trip back memory lane when she heard her mom's last rule that she should follow.
"And don't forget to use protection when getting in bed with another boy." stated her mother.
"What!" practically screamed Hermoine she had made Crookshanks nearly jump right out of his cage.
"Ha-ha don't worry honey just kidding, just making sure you were paying attention." exclaimed her mom.
"Mom! I almost thought you were actually stating that. That's not funny you know I would never have any sex with a guy unless I'm married to him." explained Hermione.
Her mother apologized and finished her speech.
After about 10 more minutes they had finally arrived at Kings Cross Station. Hermione came out of the car and took her trunk and Crookshanks cage. She then went with her parents and found a trolley to put her belongings on it.
When they made there way to platforms 9 and 10 Hermione had gave her mom and dad and loving hug and kiss on the cheek.
"Hope you do great this year Hun love you." said her mom in a shaky voice Just the image of her little girl running in the backyard laughing joking around had seemed like it happened yesterday. But now she has grown to be a young witch who is already in her last year and ready to graduate.
"Knock um end pumpkin and show them who's head girl." said her father who proudly smiled at his daughter after their embrace.
"Love you both and don't worry I'll owl every week, bye!" said Hermione as she made her way towards the barrier. With one more look over her shoulder the last thing she saw was her mom crying tears of joy and her father comfortingly hugging her and waving back at his daughter right before she went straight through the barrier.
With a sigh Hermione saw the red steam engine that bared words of gold on it saying HOGWARTS EXPRESS. She then looked at the clock and noticed that it was ten minutes until departure. She quickly gave her trolley to one of the train assistants to put into the train. She then entered the train herself to go and see if her friends had arrived at their usual compartment. When she got there she found that they hadn't arrived yet. To let time past she sat down and took a book out from the carrier bag she had and started to read when an unpleasant voice had interrupted her.
"So mudblood, know-it-all Granger has been made head girl. I think Dumbledore has gotten some what more insane this year to let filth like you become a head." sneered Malfoy. He was leaning against the side of the compartment door with his famous look-at-me-I'm-a-freaking-superior-Malfoy smirk on.
"Shove off Malfoy." retorted Hermione
" Ooh don't hurt me."Mocked Malfoy
"What do you care about me being head girl. I thought I was just the lowly muggle born to you anyway why give a damn." fumed Hermione she was starting to get really annoyed with him.
" Tsk tsk tsk... I wouldn't be talking to like that to your co-Head." scowled Malfoy. He had caught her off guard.
"You head boy! And you thought Dumbledore was insane he made you HEAD BOY!" yelled Hermione. Couple first years passing the compartment had jested looked at her in fright and ran away.
"Well I think that was one and the only smartest thing that headmaster of ours has done. Anyway back to why I came here and am wasting my time telling you this. Professor McGonagall told me to tell you that we are to meet her and Dumbledore after the feast at the head's table. Why she couldn't just tell you her self is beyond me." explained Malfoy. While he was telling her this Hermione's eyes were out of her control. She had started checking out the Slytherin King. Geez this git has gotten taller each year I bet he's already 6'' feet. You can really tell that Quidditch had payed off on his body. You can just see the hard muscles he formed and his hair isn't gelled back this time huh...wait... what the hell am I doing starting at Malfoy like this while Hermione was mentally smacking her self up side the head Malfoy had noticed that she was starting at him.
"Like what you see, even though you can't get any of this?" mocked Malfoy.
"Shut up and get out of my compartment!" said Hermione.
Draco didn't say anything, but came up to her inches away from her face. She stood up to face him and show him that she wasn't afraid. She had to tilt up her head a little since he was a couple inches taller than her. He then threateningly whispered "No mudblood especially you ever gives me orders and you listen and better listen good you will stay out of my way or there will be consequences to pay."( hehe it rhymes heh sry had to say it ok back to the story) threatened Malfoy. He spinned on his heel and stalked right out of the compartment.
Hermione couldn't take it much longer and was about to scream and let her anger out when Ron came in with Harry following behind him.
"Mione! Hey how's it going." said Ron who gave her a friendly hug.
'Hermione long time no see, how was summer holiday." said Harry who also gave her a friendly hug. This had seemed to calm her down a bit.
"Harry, Ron I've missed you guys. My summer was great I had visited my cousin and sorry I couldn't come to the burrow. What did you guys do?' asked Hermione.
Ron had stayed mostly at home and played Quidditch. Harry had stayed with the Dursley's but managed to come to the Burrow a few weeks before school came around.
"It's ok Mione, but we wish you could have come since it's our last year and all." said Ron
" yeah I know, but at least was together now. I just can't believe we're in our last year now. When I was on my way here I was thinking about the first time we met. It was as if we had been in this same compartment just yesterday." sighed Mione.
"yeah I'm just glad that Voldemort is gone now." said Harry Ron slightly shivered after hearing that forbidden name.
"Yup but anyway, congratulations on making head girl Mione!"Said Ron. "Yeah congrats Hermione, but who is head boy?" asked Harry. Just then all of her happiness had flooded right out of her. The though of Malfoy had just then corrupted her good day.
"Err Malfoy, Malfoy! I can't believe he was made head boy. He even paid me a visit before you guys came and had to shove it in my face that he was my co-head." said Hermione
" Mione did he do anything to you because if he did..." Harry was about to continue until Hermione broke in.
"No Harry he didn't don't worry about it." stated Hermione.
"But Harry's right Mione, if he doesn't anything to you just tell us and we'll beat him to a pulp." said Ron his face a little red and his hands making a fits.
"Thanks guys but I can take care of myself. If he tried anything on me, he'll be hexed to the next century before he can say mudblood." said Hermione convincing the boys she would be ok.
The three were about to continue on their conversation, when they heard a knock on their compartment door. Hermione go up to answer it. When she opened the door Hermione was speechless. The boys looked in the door way to someone they didn't know. But Hermione knew this person very well.
"Oh My Gosh..."
