AN: Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, but I do have one annoying brother!

So, this is my redo of the first story. I hope this is 100 times better.

"Hermione, you're going to be late to the Hogwarts Express! Hurry up!" My mother, Sarah yelled up the steps. She was so worried that I was going to be late. She must know by now that I'm never late.

"Yes Mum!" I yelled back and ran down the steps anyway to try to appease her.

I quickly grabbed my trunk and loaded it into our car. My dad did it the first four years that I went to Hogwarts, but last year he died in a car crash. I don't think of it anymore, because I miss him more the more I think about him.

My mother drove me to Kings Cross and let me out. "You be good Hermione! Make me and Daddy proud. He'll be watching over you every day. Now, take this letter. It will explain something that I can't say. Read it by yourself after you get to school. I love you Hermione, now go." She said with a kiss on my cheek. She was only getting weirder and weirder the older I got.

"G'bye, Mum, I love you too." I said, as I got my trunk out of the car. I was intrigued by the letter, but I quickly forgot about it in my rush to see Harry, Ginny, and Ron.

"Ginny, Ron!" I yelled as I saw the familiar wave of red hair. "How are you all?" I asked giving both of them hugs.

"Well, I'm pretty good. That bloke, Dean, broke up with Ginny over the summer, so I'm going to hex him. He didn't even do it in person, he used a damn owl! If you'll excuse me ladies." Ron said with a tip of his head. Ginny and I both looked at each other and rolled our eyes.

"Men." I scoffed as we got on the train to find a compartment.

"I know right. Anyway, Hermione, do you know why Dean broke up with me? I told him that I liked Harry more than him." Ginny said with a blush and a smile, not even bothering to give me time to answer her. As much as I loved that girl, she really got on my nerves sometimes.

"Ginny! That's great! I always knew you too would end up together! So, how was your summer?" I asked as the train pulled out of the station. After asking that question multiple times, I learned when to smile and nod to keep her talking. Sometime during her ramble I must have falling asleep, because I was rudely awoken to a kick on my shin.

"'Mione, we need to go to the Prefect meeting." Ron said after patronizing Ginny for kicking me. Ginny looked offended as she tried to aruge that it was Ron that kicked me. I waved her explanation off.

"Okay, thanks Ron," I got up and stretched. "Let's go."

On the way there, I ran into Draco Lucius Malfoy. When I say ran into, I literially mean both of us got knocked over. This is most unfortunate, because I landed on top of him. "Hey, Mudblood, get off me!" He said rather loudly as Ron yanked me off of him.

"Malfoy, shut up! Nobody cares about your pureblood crap! It's just that, crap! Leave me alone! You don't even deserve to talk to me or my friends, come on Ronald, let's go." I half yelled.

"Ugh, I hate that stupid ferret! Why can't he just mind his dang business? I mean why is it always me he has to mess with? There's plenty of other people for him to mess with." I was so caught up in my rant, that when Ron answered I jumped.

"He thinks you're dirt under his feet when you're better than him in all aspects." Ron said simply. He really doesn't pull any punches, does he?

"Thanks Ron, now let's get to the meeting." I said with what I hoped was a reassuring smile instead of the ire I was feeling..
