Chapter One: Calm Before The Storm.

DM.

I hope this letter finds you well,

Our last summer before going public is coming to a close, everything is going to change after this isn't it?

I have everything ready for the last week, are we meeting at the same place we talked about before?

Looking forward to seeing you soon in person again.

HG.

HG.

I am as well as expected living in this house with my family. Leaving the extra week early was a great idea, the pressure is mounting to join his cause and I am running out of reasons to put it off. Everything will change, yes. We will turn a lot of heads I am sure, as well as shock everyone. I don't think anyone will be expecting this.

I will be leaving later today as planned, by the time you are reading this I will have probably left already.

I will see you soon.

DM.

Hermione looked over the last letter she received, before heading into the living room to say a final goodbye to her parents.

It was the summer before her last year at Hogwarts and she was leaving early to spend a week in Diagon Ally. She had not told any of her friends yet, although with everything she had planned they might not all stay her friends anyways.

"We will miss you hunny." Her mom said, snapping her attention back to the current moment.

"I'll miss you to Mom and Dad. This will be an interesting year."

"Remember to write us and say hi to everyone!" She added.

"I will Mom. I'll send you a letter when I get to Hogwarts in a week okay?"

"Okay Hermione, sounds good to us." Her dad replied giving her a hug and stepping back so her mom could do the same.

Hermione grabbed her bag, which had everything shrunk to fit inside and headed out into the street, turning to wave once more before her parents shut the door. Once the door was closed, she cut back towards the side of the house and after a quick glance around she disappeared with a small pop.

She reappeared just inside of the Leakey Cauldron, after a quick glance around she headed upstairs to the rooms for rent and headed to the last door on the left. She knocked softly and opened the door.

"You made it!" She was instantly surrounded by a massive hug.

She laughed, "Yes Draco I did. I didn't have any issues at all. My parents are expecting an owl in a week, and everyone else thinks I'm still with them for the last week of our holidays."

"Its to bad we wont be able to enjoy this week alone and relax, we have so much to get done."

"I know…We should figure out what order we want to do everything in. Shall we make a list?" she asked.

Draco laughed, "I already beat you to it. Here, take a look." He handed her a parchment.

Go to Gringots. Find house.

Shopping in Diagon Alley. Get second wands.

Shopping in Knockturn Alley. Talk to Professor Snape.

Shopping in muggle London. Pick up linked notebooks.

"Sounds perfect, I made the appointment at Gringots for us for tomorrow morning already." Hermione added.

"And I have a lunch date with Severus set up, he dose not know you will be there yet though. I didn't think he would show honestly, so just to make sure." Draco also explained.

"Yeah thats probably a good idea for now."

"Well…nothing can really get started until we get to Gringots."

"Your right, we can just relax for tonight then.' Hermione agreed, "We will get everything going tomorrow"

"Till tomorrow then." Draco agreed.
