Hermione woke up to the sound of her alarm. It was the end of the summer and Hermione was going to London to see Harry and Ron before heading off to school. Still confused about what happened in her dream she got up slowly and tiredly made her way downstairs for breakfast. The familiar sound of spoons scraping along the breakfast bowls greeted her as she walked into the kitchen where her parents were sat finishing their breakfast.

"Morning darling" Hermione's mother greeted her as she sat down with her own bowl of cereal.

"Hey mum" replied Hermione.

"Are you going down to London to meet Harry and Ron today?" asked her father.

"Oh, erm" Hermione paused as she thought about the question. She was still thinking about the dream. 'Erm, yeah'.

"Okay, well finish your breakfast, go and get your stuff ready and we'll drive you there".

"You don't have to, I was thinking of apparating straight to the Leaky Cauldron and meeting them in Diagon Alley".

"Okay darling, well we'll see you in the Christmas holidays then" said her mother.

"Okay".

With that, Hermione got up to get ready. She had already got her trunk ready all she needed to do was make sure she had her money, and Crookshanks. She,Harry and Ron had decided to meet before going back to school. The three of them would be starting their seventh and last year at Hogwarts.

Hermione walked up to her room absent mindedly. She got dressed in a nice sky blue top and some grey skinny jeans. She washed her face, quickly brushed her teeth and made sure her hair look okay. She shouted goodbye to her parents and then apparated straight into the Leaky Cauldron. She knew she was early. She took her trunk and Crookshanks to her room then she went out for a walk. She walked out of the Leaky Cauldron into London, she needed some time to clear her head and think about last nights dream. With her head filled with thoughts she did not realise she had walked past Ron and Harry who were sat on a bench eating some chips. They both saw Hermione and wondered why she didn't say hi. The decided the would finish off there chips and follow her. They followed her for about ten minutes when Ron had decided he'd had enough and coughed rather loudly to get her attention.

Hermione turned round to see her two best friends stood behind her with massive smiles on their faces. Just the sight of them lightened up her day and all thoughts about the mysterious boy vanished. She ran up to them and gave them both massive hugs. She hadn't realised how much she had missed them until now. They walked to the nearest bench and sat down and talked. Hermione had missed them so much over the holidays. Ron had stayed at The Burrow but Fred and George's shop has become the best Joke Shop in the wizarding world, and Harry, well he had a quiet summer, Vernon and Pertunia were still angry with him about what happened two summers before. Dudley however was nice as pie to him. They both asked about Hermione's holiday, and she really didn't know what she could say. She didn't really do much in the holiday. They then started thinking of things to do. They went and visited Weasley Wizard Wheezes and then had a quiet night in and catch up with one another. Their last day of summer had been fun, Hermione had missed her best friends loads.
