i own nothing but the story line

Hermione Granger, once the prudish bookworm, had made some drastic changes over the summer, long gone was the fuzzball of a mane she had for hair, now her hair had been charmed to softly cascades down her back, straight and soft as silk and black as a midnight sky.

Her eyes that where once amber now shone a deep yet bright green with subtle tones of blue that made them glow almost turquoise, she had always been on the thin side but her newly developed curves where soft and supple though that was mainly due to her to her many years of gymnastics and martial arts that she had done even before hogwarts.

She was deep in thought as she strode onto the platform heading to the Hogwart Express, she didnt notice the large group of redheads that had spotted her. "Mione" they shouted snapping her out of her thoughts. She looked up just in time to see the majority of them running full speed at her as they tackled her. "wow mione, you look increadable"Ron spoke. "What brought all this on?" Hermione just smiled softly at her friend,"I just felt the need for a change."

She saw a head of messy black hair push through the crowd towards her "hey mione , how was your holidays?" Hermione turned away with tears sliding down her cheeks. "Not so great guys" she whispered "the death eaters came, got my parents before i had a chance to send them away." That information was met with silence and then hugs from them all. "im so sory mione, we should have moved them sooner." said Ginny,"it's ok Gin, whats done is done but i will fight twice as hard to bring them down now but i cant help but feel guilty, i couldnt save them, by the time i got my wand it was too late, i only got away because something in me snapped and i accidently blew up the house, i tried to channel it through my wand but it exploaded so i had to get a new one." Hermione replied pulling out her new wand. it was ebony with plantnum inlay in a tribal pattern with a duel core of unicorn hair and the heartsting of one of the very first dragons from before they branched out into different breeds. as she described it the Weasleys all looked on in awe as she faltered in her words when she noticed thier faces.

"Whats wrong?" she asked slightly worried about thier reaction. "Nothing is wrong hermione", mr Weasley said reasuringly."Ther are only seven wands made with that heartstring, one from each of the first seven dragons, they where born from the fires of pompeii, neither Dumbledore nor you know who where able to wield this wand, all the others where used by dark wizards and where destroyed apon their defeat, you must not tell anyone about your wand, if you know who finds out, he will do anything to try and use you for his own needs." Hermione slowly nodded her head in agrement then paused and said "I'll tell dumbledore though just to be safe." She started to walk to the train before turning back and saying "come on you lot, ive got to get to the heads compartment." And continued walking.
