It was 7:39 in the morning, and Hermione awoke to the rhythmic tapping of the owl at her window. It was 3 and a half weeks before the Hogwarts Express would take her back to Hogwarts for her seventh year. She opened the letter and let out a low gasp, "I'm .... Head Girl."

But who is Head Boy, I wonder?

Two weeks later she was packing her things to go tot the Weasley's for the remaining part of the summer holidays. There was a light knock on her bedroom door that could only be Harry. "Come in Harry." she replied to the knock. "How did you know it was me." "You're the only one who knocks like that." "Okay, so are you ready to go?" "Yeah, give me a minute though, would you."

Only ten minutes later they had flooed themselves into the Weasley kitchen, where Hermione was nearly knocked over by Ron. "I'm glad to see you Hermione, Ginny is getting tired of being surrounded by those guys, and I'm tired of hearing her complain. Why don't you go and put your things up in her room, she's out in the back flying around with George, Fred, and Bill, Charlie couldn't stay but he sends his love." "Okay, I'm glad to be here, things at my house were getting kind of boring."

Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Ginny were all getting ready to go through the barrier to platform 9 3/4, when Ginny's friend Lori called Ginny over to talk. Ginny told her companions she would see them on the train and left. Hermione, Ron, and Harry proceeded to go through the barrier, and then found an empty compartment on the train.

About ten minutes after the train left King Cross Station a voice came over the loudspeaker calling all Prefects and the Head Boy and Head Girl to the compartment at the front of the train for their duties. Hermione got up and excused herself, telling Ron he better hurry up. When she reached the Prefects compartment she settled herself down and awaited the start of the meeting. Professor Minacih was aboard the train to supervise the meeting and tell them what they were to do. She started by announcing the Head Boy and Head Girl, and then all of the Prefects, "Hermione Granger of Gryffindor is Head Girl and Draco Malfoy of Slytherin is Head Boy. The Prefects are as follows, and please stand as your name is called, Mallory Jantice and Brendan Quira of Ravenclaw, Josie Morgan and Peter Andrews of Hufflepuff, Durian Mitchie and Claudia Deltom of Slytherin, and Meghan Jassidae and Lenney Bruce of Gryffindor will be joining us as Prefects this year, welcome back to all of the other Prefects. The room arrangements are going to be a little different this year for one thing, there will be assigned rooms for all the Prefects in a house, meaning four separate Prefect rooms, the Heads will have separate rooms with a shared common room and bathroom, and all of these rooms will have password like your original houses. There will be Head meetings every Friday night at 7 p.m. and Prefect meetings every other Friday night at 7 p.m. All of these meetings are to be held in the reception hall, adjoining the Great Hall. You will be given your assignments for monitoring the halls there. Good luck for the year if you don't have me for class and if you do I will see you then. Farewell."
