Hermione's Pov:

It's funny how you think that you know someone after being friends with them after seven years. You think the world of them, but all that can change in an instant.

They all turned against me he made sure that happened. He made sure that he hadn't done anything wrong, after everything he had done to me. Ronald cheated on me with Lavender Brown then he made it out that she was only there because I cheated on him with Viktor Krum.

The only people that speak to me now from the Weasley clan are Ginny, Fred, George, and Bill. Beside the Weasley's there is Harry that has remained close to me, which shocked me to say the least because I thought that he would side with Ron. Since the other Weasley's hate my guts I am no longer welcomed at the Burrow.

Once Ginny found that out she took it upon herself to move in with Bill and Fluer as did Fred and George, apparently the three of them were sick and tired of Molly fawning over Ron saying that he is too good for me.

School is starting again in a few days. I honestly cannot wait to be walking the halls of Hogwarts once again. Walking through the halls and even going to the Library,

I am currently walking along the crowded cobbled streets of Diagon Alley. It is always busy this time of the year, with students. I looked to my left and saw a bunch of first years staring at the latest broom that was on display in the broom shop. Owls were hooting.

Me, Harry and Ginny pushed our way through the crowd and into Flourish and Bolts. I have to admit it was worse in here then it was outside. As soon as we walked in Harry and Ginny disappeared somewhere amongst the crowd. I sighed and leaned against a nearby wall, watching a bunch of girls and even guys yell and squeal in delight.

I looked through the mass of people and there at a table at the end of the line was Gilderoy Lockhart. "No wonder why they are all fangirling." I thought to myself. I have to admit I did have a crush on him in my second year. Who wouldn't? It is every Wizards dream to be just like him, and it is every witch's dream to be with never did anything he wrote in his books. He took credit for other famous Wizards and Witches success and made them his own.

I rolled my eyes at the sight of people fawning over him like he is a celebrity. To this day I cannot believe that I had a thing for that psycho. I tried to hide a smile as a bunch of squealing girls walked past me bragging that they met Gilderoy Lockhart.

I was pulled out of my daze when my favorite raven-haired boy and my favorite ginger-haired girl walked in my direction arm in arm. "Hermione are you okay?" Harry asked.

"I was just thinking," I said to them.

"About what?" Ginny asked.

"How I used to fangirl over Lockhart," I told her.

"Oh, come on Mione who didn't?" Ginny giggled. I knew that Harry hated the guy and since Ginny said that I couldn't help but laugh at the look he had on his face because I knew that he would never stay mad at her for too long.

Once we paid for the books we made our way outside, the sun was beating down, and there was a slight breeze. The street was a bit quieter now, which made a change.

We walked along the street laughing and joking. That was when I bumped into something hard making me fall, felt like a brick wall when I looked up I was shocked to see Malfoy towering over me. "I am so sorry," he said that shocked me to say the least. "It's fine," I said as Harry and Ginny helped me up to my feet.

I looked behind Malfoy, and I was shocked to see Parkinson and Zabini. "What are you gawking at?" I asked Malfoy. "Erm..." Malfoy stuttered out.

"We wished to speak to you," Parkinson said to us.

"Why?" Ginny asked them.

"Please," Zabini said to us. We all just nodded and we walked along the streets in silence.

We made it to the Leaky Cauldron it was dark and dead, hardly anyone was in there so, it was easy for us to find a table for us all to sit around.

I sat opposite Malfoy, next to me was Harry, opposite him was Parkinson and next to Harry was Ginny and opposite her was Zabini.
