Chapter One

Hermione Granger walked up the side of Platform 9 and ¾ turning the heads of many of her fellow students as she did. You see Hermione Granger has changed – drastically – throughout the summer before he seventh and final year at Hogwarts scholl of Witchcraft and Wizardry. All of her muggle friends back home had decided to give her complete make over; new hair, new clothes, new shoes and new make-up style. Her hair now fell in soft curls just below her shoulders and was a deep honey colour that could only have been managed with several hours out in the blazing sun. She wore a white flowing knee length skirt with a form fitting light blue strapless top that showed off all her curves in all of the right places, and upon her feet she had on silver 4-inch strappy heels that accentuated the curve of her calf just right. To complete the outfit was a light shade of blue eyeshadow upon her eyelids and a touch of eyeliner and foundation for the natural, more classy look.

She boarded the train and went to find Harry and Ron, who as always were in the far compartment right at the end of the train. As she entered she saw there was Harry, Ron, Ginny, Neville and Luna all sat in the compartment awaiting her arrival, all of them looking up at the sound of the door opening. All of their jaws dropped open as they saw the changed girl that was currently standing in front of them.

"Hi guys, I'm so glad I found you, what are you all staring at?" Hermione asked as she noticed all of the shocked faces looking up at her.

"Wow 'Mione what happened to you you've suddenly got hot!" Ron asked, not thinking there was anything wrong with what he had just said.

"Ronald!" Ginny shouted "there was no need for that announcement what so ever, and you could have put it in a more sophisticated way if you did feel the need to open that big mouth of yours and say anything. I think you look beautiful 'Mione it's a great change, I love those shoes I may need to steal them".

"Thanks Gin, I know it's a big change but I actually like it, what do you think Harry do you think I've gone a bit overboard?"

"No, no I think you look great, who knew you had a figure like that hiding under your old clothes", Harry replied

"Harry!" Ginny shouted again "seriously you two don't have a clue how to compliment a girl do you? Saying things like that can be very offensive to some girls, for Gods sake"

Harry and Ron just looked at each other confused, still not understanding why what they said was so wrong, they thought they were perfectly good compliments.

"It's alright Ginny I know they mean well" Hermione laughed "anyway I have some great news. I've been made Head Girl can you believe it?"

"Er yeah" Ron said "we all knew you'd be Head Girl, I mean come on Hermione who else would it be. Do you know who's Head Boy yet?"

"No I'm going to find out when I go to the Head compartment. I'll meet him then along with Professor McGonagall so she can tell us our duties for the year", Hermione answered

The six of them sat there for another half hour talking about the year ahead and what it may have in store for them. At exactly twelve o'clock Hermione got up to leave and go over to the Head's compartment

"Alright guys, I'm going over to the Head compartment now so I'll see you in the Great Hall for the feast, I'll probably have to stay in there for the rest of the journey"

And so she went walking back to the front of the train where the Head Boy and Professor McGonagall were waiting for her to arrive.
