Author's Note (September 23, 2010): I have started writing this story and it was published on the year of 2004 and it was my first ever Draco/Hermione fanfiction I have written. Rereading this story urges me to make many changes due to characters being totally out of character and that is my strongest pet peeve from this story. However, some may not appreciate this story, but there are some who actually could stand this story and thank you so much for those who enjoy reading this story. However, like I said, I would like to make some changes in this story and attempt to remain the characters in their places. I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Chapter 1: Heading back to Hogwarts
Oh the day that I've been waiting for has come! Thought Hermione as she woke up from the sound of her alarm clock.
She got up and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. When she finished, she looked at herself in the foggy mirror and sighed thinking how this would be the last year she will be at Hogwarts. The last year she would be riding on the Hogwarts Express. The last remaining year she would be able to attend with her friends.
"Sweetie, Hermione, quit admiring yourself in the mirror. We're going to be late," said Mrs. Granger between her giggles, leaning against the washroom door.
"Okay, Mom. Just give me a minute to get decent," said Hermione.
"All right. Be quick."
She quickly flossed, brushed, and gargled leaving her pearly white teeth clean and her dentist parents impressed. Hermione went straight to her bedroom with a towel covering her body and one over her head.
She went to her drawers and took out some jeans and shirt and ensured she looked decent enough.
Over the summer, there weren't many changes in Hermione. Although, she looks much more like a lady now, she still had that bushy hair that she manages to tame it down to curls once in awhile and it didn't hurt Hermione to think that she somehow grew a few inches and made her body look slim.
While Hermione was fixing her hair in front of the mirror, she thought over how she wanted to make the best out of her final year. Everyone in the wizarding world is still mourning for the losses from the battle between Voldemort and Harry Potter, but she told herself that she wants to live in peace now that Voldemort is gone. Peace is what everyone need, she thought to herself.
Once Hermione was done preparing herself, she took her MP3 from her desk and grabbed her jacket and her trunk and headed downstairs. However, she stood at the door looking back at her room listfully and breathed deeply for the school year ahead. She left her belonging at the foot of the stairs and rushed to the kitchen for a bite to eat.
Mrs. Granger emerged from the hallways leading to the kitchen handing a breakfast bar to her daughter.
"Ready, hunny?" asked Mrs. Granger.
"Yes, mum," she replied. She went to where she left her trunk and slowly dragged it towards the garage door.
"I think that's my job sweetie," gleamed Mr. Granger. He picked up the huge trunk without any difficulty.
"Thanks, Dad."
After securely checking the whole house, they hopped into their car and headed towards Platform 9 three quarters.
