"When she was just a girl,

she expected the world

but it flew away from her reach

so she ran away in her sleep

and dreamed of Paradise."

Hermione Granger woke up with an empty feeling grumbling inside her stomach.

She reminded herself that everything was same.

Nothing was different. She was just going to complete her last year in Hogwarts without her best friends.

Well at least one of them was.

Ron hadn't spoken to her since she had told him about her decision to complete her last year in Hogwarts. Harry on the other hand had taken it well.

She remembered sitting beside the fire in the burrow.

"I wanted to tell you something guys. I'm rejoining Hogwarts to complete my last year" she had said.

"What? Blimey Hermione your jokes are getting better day by day." Ron said.

"Ron why would think I'm joking" she said.

"Because we both are not going back! What will you do without us?" said Ron in a furious tone.

"This is the only reason you can think of." spat Hermione.

"Well yeah! Harry say something"

"I have no problem with that. Actually I kind of expected it! You know she's Hermione after all!" said Harry

"Ron I don't know why you would have a problem with Hermione joining Hogwarts" said Ginny weasely who appeared from behind the door. She then placed a soft peck on Harry's cheek.

Mrs. weasely shouted for Ginny from the kitchen.

And then Ginny left. Harry followed her.

"What about us Hermione? What will happen to us?" said Ron looking down, he reached for her hand.

"What about us? Listen Ron I have been giving this… I mean us, a lot of thought. And I know you have too. And I and you both know that its just not working . Maybe we need to take a break." Said Hermione

"No I wasn't" said Ron in surprise.

"Don't lie Ron! Lies are not going to help us" said Hermione and then she stood up.

Ron grabbed her hand and said "and just when did you make this decision? Because the train leaves for Hogwarts in three days! Did you wait until the last moment deliberately?

Hermione began to leave.

"Hermione!" said Ron furiously "Don't"

Hermione opened her eyes as she blinked into reality.

A tear escaped.

All through the train ride she had been thinking about him

She really thought a break would help.

She still loved him.

He had been her best friend for years.

She had always loved him.

Just how different she came to know only in her 6th year.

Maybe she'll love him again.

She was hoping and praying that things didn't go bad between them.

He hadn't come to see her off in the kings cross station.

Suddenly she heard someone calling her name.

She slid from her bed and saw that the room was empty.

She went into the common room and saw Ginny weasely standing in the common room.

"Hurry up get dressed! Or you'll be late for airthmacy class" said Ginny.

"Coming" she shouted running back to her room.

After dressing up she went down.

There was a commotion in the common room.

"What happened" she asked Ginny.

"They let him in" she said furiously

"Who? Where?"

"Hogwarts of course!"

"Speak clearly Ginny"

"Draco Malfoy! They let him in Hogwarts!"
