Disclaimer: I own nothing in the world of Harry Potter…sadly
Well everybody probably remembers this! Lol I am the biggest procrastinator is the whole entire world. First off I would like to say I'm sorry for never updating this story, secondly (I know that I shouldn't blame my mistakes on excuses but...) my computer completely shut down when I wrote the 2nd chapter of this story. Then my computer deleted my past stories. Doesn't my life suck? So I have finished the next chapter of this story and I will be putting it up sometime this week. Yell at me all you want, but maybe you could add 1 positive review? Lol. Just so you know the plot of this story has changed a tiny bit. Hope you'll still like it! nIkKi
The Beginning of the End
It was September 1st. Now most people would be surprised at this. What's so interesting about September 1st? School doesn't begin for another week, and there were no important holidays or important birthdays on this day…right? Well obviously you're a muggle if you have no idea what's so important about this day… it was the start of another year at Hogwarts! This day was known to wizards and witches all over the world for they to had gone to Hogwarts for their 7 years of magic teaching. Everyone (except the muggles of course) was excited for their own return to Hogwarts…right?
Hermione Granger was the smartest student at Hogwarts from 1st to 6th year. This year was her 7th year at Hogwarts, and one which she most noticeably would be the smartest in again. Was she excited? The answer to that is no. She hated Hogwarts! She had no friends whatsoever and was badly made fun of. Hermione hadn't really changed over the summer (or so she thought). She had big chocolate brown eyes that anyone would melt into, soft curly brown hair (which used to be bushy), and a figure to die for. But no one knew of this because she kept her body hidden under her overly large Hogwarts uniform and always had her head buried in a book so no one ever had a chance to she what she truly looked like. The only thing they noticed was old bushy hair. No one ever paid attention to her at school, except the teachers. She hoped that this year would be a lot different than her others…
"Remember to write to us almost everyday! And if we don't receive a letter from you in a week we will owl Hogwarts immediately with that emergency owl they sent us, and ask them where you are, and if they don't know…" Hermione sighed as her mother continued with her "Letters" lecture. Hermione looked over at her dad as her mom kept talking. He looked back at her and smiled in which return he received and actual smile from his daughter. He knew Hermione was old enough to understand these lectures and tapped his wife on the shoulder.
"Honey you've been telling Hermione all this since she was 11. She's almost 17…I think she understands all your…um…advice. Don't you?"
Mrs. Granger smiled slightly as she looked at Hermione proudly. "Yeah I think your right. She's old enough…I suppose."
"Well I'd better get going…I don't want to be late now do I?" Hermione quickly stated before putting on a fake smile.
"No you don't. Now here's all your stuff you know what to do if you need anything else right?"
"Yes Mum"
"Alright then I guess it's time for you to go…"
"Yup I guess so…I'll miss you" Hermione said hugging her father before picking up her stuff.
"Good luck and have another fantastic year at Hogwarts!" Hermione's mother gave her one last squeeze before letting Hermione go.
"I will!" More like I hope I will! Waving goodbye one more time she knoq turned towards platform 9 3/4. She made sure know one was looking before heading straight towards the barrier between platform 9 and 10. Within a blink of an eye Hermione was standing in front of a new train, The Hogwarts Express. She looked at her surroundings. There were parents everywhere each with there own way of saying goodbye. She saw one boy and father doing a special handshake. She then saw a mother crying her head off holding her daughters head close to her chest.
"I c-c-an't believe it's your l-l-ast year…your all g-g-rown up now…you're not my b-b-aby anymore!" the mother sobbed.
"Mum stop it! You're embarrassing me!" Hermione recognized the girl being squished by her mother. She was in her 7th year just like Hermione and her name was Lavender Brown. She, also like Hermione, was in Gryffindor. Hermione recognized her as Ron Weasley's girlfriend. Lavender had hazel eyes and just-past-her-shoulder length hair. She never really talked to Hermione though seemed quite nice. Realizing the train would be leaving soon, Hermione ushered onto the train to find a compartment. As she politely pushed past the people on the train, she heard a quiet voice behind her.
"Um…are you Hermione Granger?"
Hermione whipped her head around, to see a girl who looked to be in her 3rd year with long blonde hair.
"Yes I am." Hermione answered swiftly.
"Oh, well Professor McGonagall told me that you are to see her immediately in the Prefect compartment. She said she wants you to meet the Head Boy." The girl looked at Hermione when she was done, as if expecting an immediate action. Hermione had totally forgotten that she had been chosen as Head Girl. She remembered how proud of herself she felt.
"Okay thanks for the message. I guess I better leave now then." Hermione grabbed all her bags and stuff, and headed up the train to the prefect compartment. Before heading to the prefect's compartment she decided to change into her robes. When she finished she continued to walk up the train isle. She knew where the prefect compartment was since last year she had been prefect along with Lavender's Boyfriend, Ronald Weasley. He was weird and insufferable to patrol with because he would always ask her for help on homework and always asked questions about girls. He was truly annoying! But then again he was one of the only guys who ever talked to her without making fun of her as well
I wonder who's going to be Head boy this year…I hope it's not one of those super popular guys who DEFINATLY will make fun of me just because I'm "smarter" then everyone else. Am I stupid for not liking a boy? No of course not! I don't want a boy in my life! Yeah…you don't want someone who will treat you with respect, understand you and hold you when you feel sad or upset. No you defiantly don't want someone like that…but maybe you need one. Oh shut up and stop talking to yourself! Hermione shook her head silently. She did not need all of this right now. She was about to knock on the door when a slightly angry Professor McGonagall opened it for her.
"There you are Ms. Granger I was almost sure both you and Adriana (Hermione figured that must have been the girl who told her Professor McGonagall's message) had been kidnapped!"
"Sorry Professor, my Mom and Dad didn't want to let me go, and then I got distracted, and then…"
"That's quite alright Ms. Granger. You're right on time anyway the prefects left just a few moments ago before you came. I will leave you and the head boy to get acquainted, and then when we arrive at Hogwarts I will describe both of your duties and show you where you will be staying."
"We're going to share a dormitory?" Hermione was surprised.
"Yes Ms. Granger. Now if you will excuse me…" Professor McGonagall lightly pushed past Hermione. Alright this is it…I get to see who the Head boy is…should I be excited? Probably doesn't matter anyway…all guys are rude to me…okay here it goes…Hermione exited her thoughts quickly and pulled the compartment door open the rest of the way, to see none other then Harry Potter!
Oooo cliff-hanger dun dun dun...lol. I know this was pretty short, but it's only the first chapter. I've already finished the next chapter so I'm hoping to put it up sometime this week. Please be positive and negative!
