A/N: Recently Edited 5/11/10 , Realized that when I wrote this I was new to all this and I was reading it and it just sounded so american-ish. So I'm gonna go back through all the chapter and try to make it sound English and what not. and not so OOC. Cause I know when I read fanfics that are OCC it drives me nuts and I cant keep reading any further. So bare with me I'm tryna make this better. Cause i think this is crap haha.

Thank you to all that reviewed in the past and read it.

Change of Heart Chap. 1: The good news & the bad news

Hermione sat at her desk in her bedroom tapping her fingers on the hard surface, waiting for what seemed to be forever. It was almost the end of her summer vacation and she was about to go into her 7th year. She was waiting impatiently for her letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. All of a sudden she found herself thinking back to all the things that happened last year, Ron asking her out finally and her reply being a "yes" and also how she seemed to be front page news in the daily prophet once more; seeing that Rita Skeeter had found Ron and her snogging and took the liberty to do an article on that, since there was no big news around; pathetic really. Her thoughts were put on hold due to a sudden tap of her window; it was a brown barn owl with a white line down its face. Hermione ran to her window opened it and the small owl entered. She quickly reached for the small parchment attached to the owl's feet and quickly read.

Dear, Ms. Granger

Sincerely,

Prof. Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress

Hermione stared at the letter in shock and in fascination; she couldn't believe what she just read. "I'm Head Girl..." she murmured; afterward biting her lip. "I wonder who the head boy will be"

With this Hermione ran down stairs screaming with glee. Her parents were in the living room doing a bit of cleaning. "Hermione what's wrong, are you alright darling?"

Hermione came in shrieking with excitement, causing her father to drop a large heavy box on his toe.

"Ow! Bloody Hello kitty!", Hermione's dad screamed in pain.

"Sorry dad" She apologized. Hermione was now standing in the middle of the living room.

"Mum… Dad, Guess what?" Hermione's mom was now helping her husband to the couch. "I'm Head Girl ". Her parents looked at her in confusion.

"Oh, Head girl is kinda like, well … ah... Its something huge and very hard to earn and I got it!". Her parents now looked at her in surprise and went over to hug her and congratulate her and tell her that they knew what she meant. They were just pulling her leg.

Hermione went to her room after what seemed to be an hour of her parents hugging and kissing her. She jumped on her bed and thought to herself "This is great, now maybe I can put those nasty Slytherin's in their places".

As she was thinking this, another tap at her window came. She recognized the dopey looking owl right away, it was Ron's. Hermione Ran to her window, today it seemed that she couldn't have any thinking time to herself with out being interrupted. She let the owl in and took the small parchment from him. "What does he want, has he finally remembered about me?" she grumbled looking back at all this summer. Ron had not written to her not once since summer began and she was growing inpatient; seeing that she had written to him about 5 to 6 times.

Dear Hermione

How has your summer been? … Well mine has been great except for the part where my brothers had me test out almost all they're concoctions and what not. But other than that its been fun, you know Harry is here, I expect Ron told u already since I caught him writing letter all summer and looking all lovey dovey. I still cant believe you two are an item now; it must be great.

Harry and I… well never mind, see you at school then

Yours:

Ginny

Hermione put the letter on her bed and noticed that the owl was still there. "I Expect u want a reply then". She said in a very rude tone. Hermione found herself pacing back and forth in her room while muttering to herself. "What did she mean by I already know?...Know what?, I haven't had a letter from Ronald all summer, and what did she mean when she said he was looking all lovey dovey". Hermione was looking very confused now. "Merlin's Beard!, That git had better not be cheating on me!". she roared coming to her own conclusions.

With this Hermione grabbed a red odd-looking piece of parchment and she started writing fast; This was no ordinary piece of parchment.

When she was finished she attached her "Letter" to the owl, "Take this to Ron please" she said and sent the owl on its way.

Harry, Ron & Ginny were at the burrow in the kitchen talking about their trip to Diagon Alley tomorrow.

"Really?, and how do you expect on buying that Ginny we haven't any money for that sort of dragon dung" he reminded her

"Fred and George have been paying me for testing out their new stuff at the store"

"So that's why she had green ears for a week?" Harry whispered in Ron's ear.

Ron had a bewildered look on his face "That's not fair I asked them for money and they said no" he pouted.

"Maybe because you didn't pay them back Ron; again for the millionth time, and because last time you borrowed money was to buy a box of condoms, your mom found them and you blamed it on Fred and George". Harry declared with an amused face.

Ginny spat out a huge amount of juice that she was drinking and looked disgusted.

"YOU BOUGHT WHAT!"

Just as she said this Pigwidgeon came in and landed on the table with loud thud. Ginny reached for the letter; hoping to be for her or something from one of her admirers, but when she noticed what the letter was she quickly threw it at Ron hitting him smack in the face.
