Hello everyone, this is my very first story and I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: Nothing but the plot belongs to me, everything else is is property of JKR.
Everything started the first day of school, neither Ron or Harry had come back to finish their last year at Hogwarts because they said that they needed a time of, or they where just being the lazy asses they had been all summer. So for the first time in my 7 years of school life I didn't have my friends with me, which was really weird. Thank god I had Ginny, without her there was no way I would have done it.
School this year would be... interesting. Not just because Ron and Harry weren't here but because, well it hadn't been a year since Voldemort had been defeated and I was a friend of Harry's. People knew me, for helping "the chosen one" defeat Voldemort. It was really awkward. Everyone wanted to talk to me, they wanted me to tell them everything about last year. And that was the worst.
I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't realize I was in the dining room already. Some people stopped eating and looked at me but I decided to ignore them and walked straight to the Gryffindor table where Ginny and Neville where waiting for me.
"Hey guys" I said
"Hey Mione" they answered
"Why are you so late? Breakfast is almost over" Ginny said
"I fell asleep" I lied, the truth was that I preferred eating breakfast really fast than having all the school looking at me all morning.
I finished my breakfast and looked around. They where very few the ones that decided to come back to finish their last year. There were really few Gryffindor's including me, Lavender, Seamus and Neville, some Ravenclaw's including Luna, Terry Boot and others, almost no Hufflepuff's and the Slytherin's, they were the least of all. Between others there was Pansy, Blaise and Draco Malfoy. He looked up and caught me looking at him, I looked away immediately. I really didn't understand what was he doing here, everyone else I got it, but him? It just didn't make any sense, everybody knew he hated Hogwarts. I looked over at him once again... his head was down and he wasn't eating anything. Why wasn't he eating? Or talking? Why did I care? I didn't, but I couldn't figure this out, and I hated it.
"Hermione! I'm talking to you!"
"Oh, sorry Ginny what where you saying?"
"I said we better get going or we'll be late for potions"
"Ok, let's go."
As we walked out of the dining hall I saw Lavender far away, she saw me and smiled sadly, so ironic.
Yeah, this was definitely going to be an interesting year.
