The group continued to study on into the afternoon. Around 3 Mrs. Weasley walked into the living room with a wonderful looking birthday cake. All of the students looked up at her and Harry was speechless. "Is this for me? I've never had a birthday party before. Thank you!" Mrs. Weasley smiled at the boy and gave him one of her bone crushing hugs after she set down the cake.
The assembly sung happy birthday to Harry. "Make a wish Harry!" Hermione said after they finished singing. Harry thought hard and then blew out the candles."
"What did you wish for?" Ron questioned. Harry looked at his best friend and smiled. "Can't tell you that, then it won't come true." Ron rolled his eyes and turned to his girlfriend. "What is he talking about?"
It was Hermiones turn to roll her eyes, "Muggles believe when you wish for something you can't tell anyone or it won't come true." "oh ok."
"Well harry dear, it is time to open your presents." Mrs. Granger said as she signaled to Mr. Weasley who disappeared and returned with a pile of presents. Harry broke out into a rather large grin.
Harry set to opening his presents, finally last he opened Hermione's present. He sat there and stared. Hermione started to get worried, 'did he not like it? Was it bad to get him?' "Harry do you like it? I'm sorry if you don't like it."
Harry turned his eyes from the present and looked at Hermione, "It's the best present I have ever gotten. Thank you so much." Then he jumped up and gave Hermione a huge hug.
"Well Harry what is it?" Angelina asked. From her spot in the living room she couldn't see the present.
Harry looked up at everyone, he wasn't sure if everyone would understand but it couldn't hurt to tell them. "It's three different things, one is a sleeping potion that entitles you to peaceful dreams, the second is a shock reliever potion, that's a little self explanatory on what it does. Third is well it is a picture of my dad, mom, and two of their best friends during their Hogwarts days." Harry then turned to Hermione and asked a question in a very low voice. "How did you find one with out you know who in it and where did you get this at?"
Hermione smiled, "The picture was hanging in one of the backrooms of one of the back rooms of The Leaky Cauldron. I was back there trying to find the bathroom when I saw it. I asked Tom about it and he said he would sell it to me. When I asked him why he had it he said that those four had stayed with him one week during their 6th year summer. They took that one of the days and gave it to him."
Harry beamed at his best friend and gave her another hug. Ron cleared his throat, "If I didn't know better, which I do, I could be getting a little jealous right now. I'm just kidding guys." He quickly added when he saw the looks that were thrown his way. The day continued to go smoothly with everyone joking and laughing.
They all finally retired for the evening around midnight and woke early the next day. Everyone but Bill and Charlie sat around the Weasley table eating breakfast when Bill and Charlie came down stairs with their bags all packed.
"Well guys we do have to be getting back. I hope you have a wonderful day and all. And please do be careful at school this year. I know for the past little bit we haven't really dealt with what had happened last year but please be on you guards. Especially you three." Charlie said pointing to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Who in returned nodded their heads.
"Yeah but still have fun, and don't eat anything the twins offer you. I saw them in their room yesterday and well to tell you the truth I don't trust the smell that was coming from their room. And that warnings going for all of you." Bill said as he picked up his stuff and walked towards the door, "Bye all, and Hermione it was nice getting to know you this summer. IF I was a couple years younger and my brothers . . . err brother wasn't so smitten with you I would have to say you would be some catch! Be good to her Ron." And with that he walked out of the door.
Hermione was as red as a tomato and Ron looked as if he didn't know whether or not to be mad at his brother. Then he realized there was no point, Bill was already gone. Charlie turned to his mother and shook his head at his brother antics. He then kissed his mom good bye and waved to everyone as he left.

The summer seemed to be flying by after that. Shortly after the oldest two Weasley children left the Hogwarts letters arrived, even the ones for Katie, Angelina, Seamus, Lavender, and Harry. Hermione was rather nervous about opening her letter. It was bigger than the others that had arrived but that could be bad bigger.
She opened it up and pulled out several sheets of paper, rather than the normal two they got. She had the usual two in the lot, her books and what not but then the third letter was what she was waiting for. She began to jump up and down, "I'm a prefect, I'm a prefect!"
Ron looked at her like she was mental, "Like there was any doubt that you would be one. Hermione you are the top of our year of course you are a prefect. You will most likely be head girl also." Hermione stopped jumping up and down and peered rather sharply at her boyfriend.
"I'll have you know I almost didn't get it because of the rule breaking you two have been making me do for the past few years." Ron and Harry laughed.
"We never made you do anything Hermione, you didn't have to come along with us you know." Harry said from his seat.
Hermione rolled her eyes, "Yeah and then you two would have gotten your selves killed I mean really. You wouldn't have survived with out me."
"Hey we survived second year with out you." Ron interjected.
"Yeah and how did you figure out what was in the chamber? I do believe it was I who gave you the information you used." She said looking rather smugly. The boys shut up because they knew it was true.
Hermione spent the next two weeks doing nothing but studying and every time anyone bothered her she would tell them, "As a prefect I have to be perfect. I can't be behind in my studies."
It was now a week before they had to catch the train to Hogwarts and the group had to go to Diagon Alley to get their school supplies. Everyone had returned home a week ago that didn't live at the burrow besides Hermione and Harry.
All of the Weasley's and their two guests lined up in front of the fireplace. Harry groaned, he hated to travel by Floo powder. One by one they went through the Weasley's fire into the Leaky Cauldrons fireplace. And then out to the streets of Diagon Alley.
