A/N: Okay, I'll try not to get my tenses mixed up, and I will add more detail. I appreciate the suggestions, anything to improve my writing. Well, you guys wanted it; here's chapter 4! Thanks for all the reviews. =)
Chapter Four
"Can I get you anything to drink?" It was a waitress (on a train I don't know what they're called!) with short blonde hair and glittery green high-heels. She clutched onto the cart in front of her, cans of soda, and bottles of water were neatly lined up on it.
"I'll have water." She paid a dollar for it. Hermione always carried Muggle money with her. For instances like this when she rode a Muggle train.
The little girl across from her yawned. Hermione smiled, she was very cute, with curly brown hair and a little pink pair of overalls. She laid down, her hands under her head and slept. Hermione yawned too, she decided to do the same, and laid down across the empty seat.
Sun has fallen,
Another day gone without you.
My heart keeps calling,
And I don't know just what to do whoa.
When you're near me,
I seem to forget my lonely days.
It's more than a feeling,
It's something that can't be explained.
It seemed every time she was away from Hogwarts; this song always danced through Hermione's mind. She remembered it all summer, when she would fall asleep in her own bed, wishing to be in her dorm.
The waitress, on the train prodded her awake. It was dark; they had stopped at the train station.
Outside she looked around, to her left she saw a snack bar, and to her right was platform Nine and Three-quarters. No one was walking through it.
"Hermi, baby!" Someone called; she turned to see her mother with open arms. Hermione ran into them, and her mother held her tightly. Behind her was her father, who joined the hug.
"Oh I missed you...." Hermione whispered. They took her bags and walked out to the car. In the backseat was her little sister Madison, holding their dog Chandelle. The little Pomeranian barked with excitement as Hermione climbed into the car.
"Hermione! I'm going to Hogwarts next year. I get to buy a wand and a owl and even a DRAGON!"
Hermione laughed, "you can't buy a dragon, their dangerous!" Madi was like Hermione: smart, pretty, talked really fast, and fell in love with Harry the minute she saw her. Last year at the end of Hermione's sixth year, she showed Madi a picture of her with Harry and Ron. Madi declared that she was going to marry Harry Potter one day.
"He's seven years older than you!" Hermione would say, but of course, little stubborn Madi wouldn't listen. Only run around the house telling anyone who would listen.
Ah yes the house. The pulled the are into the driveway. It was a brick house, with hedges in the front, and vines growing up the side. The front lawn was a bright green that always reminded Hermione of Harry's eyes. Hermione felt it again, those butterflies in her stomach. The ones with REALLY big wings.
A/N: hope you liked it. Please review as always. I hope I added enough detail this time, and didn't mess up my tenses.
