It was mid-August when the letter came for Hermione. As usual, she was staying at the Burrow for the summer holidays and she was in the kitchen helping Molly cook for the large family. Actually, there were three owls, one for Ron and Harry as well as Hermione. As the owls flew towards the house Hermione opened the windows for the owls and stood back as they skidded into the house. Molly saw the letters and an excited smile grew on her face. Hermione gave her a suspicious look and asked, "What do you know what you that you're not telling me?" But Molly just smiled and kept stirring the soup. Hermione ran to get the boys and when they were all sitting around the table they opened them and began to read. The letter read as follows:
Dear Miss Granger,
We wish to invite you back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to complete your final year of education.
This, of course, will be entirely voluntary and up to you.
During the war, many people were changed in many ways so we have decided to make changes inside the school.
You should be informed that if you do choose to return, all returning 7th years will be re-sorted into houses at the start of term.
We also wish to inform you that Professor Lupin will be returning to Hogwarts to teach defense against the dark arts.
Enclosed is a list of any new materials or books you shall need.
Yours sincerely,
Professor McGonagall.
Hermione finished reading her letter before the boys, but she had to read it twice so she looked up and locked eyes with the boys. "Is she bloody serious?" Ron practically shrieked. Hermione gave him a dirty look and turned back to the stove to make sure the dinner wasn't burning. Harry though looked delighted, " can you two believe it? We're going back!" Hermione ( after havering made sure dinner was alright) turned and gave Harry a look to match the one she gave Ron. "Of course we're going back! Did you really think I would let you two not finish your education? Molly and I discussed it before we left last summer." She said all this with a smile on her face.
It was early morning the day they would be heading back to school and Hermione was already awake and getting everything prepared. Her noise (which was considerable) woke up Ginny and the redhead came downstairs to find Hermione making breakfast and packed lunches for her and the boys. "Mione, why in heavens name are you up so early?" She said through a yawn.
