The train was ready for departure, Hermione was really excited. This was the first time in a very long time that she could visit her parents in a vacation. It was the end of her fifth year at Hogwarts school for Witchcraft and Wizardry.
" Harry, Ron hurry up we need to reach the train" Hermione said as she held one of her two trunks and at the same time tried to balance her cat, Crookshanks in her arm. " thank god for magic is allowed to use now" she thought as her last trunk was levitating beside her. Normally magic was not allowed to use before you were seventeen though Hermione was allowed as she had been given her timeturner in her third year to manage her classes, Dumbledore had also given her a card which looked like a drivers license, but in the magic world was a license for doing magic even though she was 15 and soon 16.
" Hermione calm down the train is still standing on the platform" Ron said and glared slightly at the female member of the golden trio, he could not believe that she was allowed to do magic when she was a muggleborn while he as a pureblood was not allowed.
" I actually have to agree with Ron, Hermione" Harry said as he took his best friend's side.
Hermione shaked her head slightly before she hurried of and found her own compartment " let the boys be late, it's their fault if they are late because then they have to stay at the school" she thought.
After a while the train started moving and hermione had not seen any signs of Harry or Ron so she went outside the compartment to see if she could find them, though at the same time she had her bag of clothes with her so that she could change out of her wizarding clothes.
" look who is here guys, it's the mudblood" a voice sneered. Hermione did not even need to turn around to know it was Draco Malfoy.
" oh go bugger someone else Malfoy I'm not in the mood.. By the way have you seen Harry and Ron since you are so happy with watching us" Hermione spat back.
" as a matter of fact yes I have .. They are in the compartments on the start of the train together with female Weasley and Longbottom" Draco answered and he had something that looked like pity in his eyes but it disappeared quickly as he added " and you were not allowed to join them as you are a patetic mudblood"
Hermione only took a deep beath and went changing, at least now she knew where Harry and Ron were.
When they came to platform 9 3/4 she walked straight to her parents not saying a word to either of them. Once she was in her room she sat her bags down together with Crookshanks and sat down by her desk as she wanted to read a bit on next years textbooks.
A knocking sound on her window stopped Hermione's concentration. She turned her head towards the sound and saw a black owl she did not recognise and it had a letter in its beck. She went slowly off the chair that was by her desk and opened the window, the owl merely let go of the letter so it fell to her floor before it flew away.
Hermione picked it up " strange it does not stand who it's from" she muttered.
