Hermione's summer by Aphrodite
Hello all, thanks you for the reviews, you guys are great! Well enough talking and on with the story! Happy reading!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione had to turn her head away from the sunlight when they entered into the streets of Diagon alley. Hermione always had the impression that the sun was brighter whenever in the wizarding world, but she figured it was her overactive imagination.
Hermione, Ron, and Harry broke off from the rest of the group after Gringotts. First, on Hermione's insistence, they visited Flourish and Blots. Ron complained that they would be there at 3 to meet his parents but Hermione insisted they go ahead and get their quills and parchment paper then so not to be in a rush when they returned later. Hermione exited from there with more things then other two combined.
Next they visited the Quidditch shop where Harry got a new broom kit, the one from Hermione was getting rather old. Ron and Harry gawked at the new Cannons memorabilia. Hermione rolled her eyes and looked at the brooms they had for sell, perhaps it was time she owned one. I mean it is a major form of magical transportation. Perhaps she would get one during a hogsmead weekend.
Finally it was three o'clock and time to meet the rest of the Weasley's. The trio made their way to Flourish and blots once again. They were stopped at the door by non other than Draco Malfoy. "Well, well, well if it isn't Potter and his two groupies."
"Shove off Malfoy, we are headed some where." Harry said well trying to pass him but Malfoy pushed him back.
"I am not finished with you yet. Things are about to change around here and if I say so for the better, so you, the mudblood, and the mudblood lover better watch your backs."
Ron jumped at Malfoy but Hermione grabbed the back of his cloak and pulled him back, "Stop it Ron, he isn't worth it I assure you."
Draco turned his attention to Hermione, "Well you've been silent this whole time, what no smart remark? That's a shame really, soon you will be quiet forever."
Hermione glared at Malfoy, "Oh shut up, I will stand here and get into a battle of wits with an unarmed man. Now if you will excuse us we have business inside." With that Hermione pushed past Malfoy and inside of the store with Harry and Ron following.
They scanned the audience until they saw the rest of the Weasleys and pushed their ways to the front where everyone was waiting on them. "What took you so long, you're late and Hermiones never late for anything?" Fred asked once the trio reached them.
Ron rolled his eyes, "We were detained out side by an idiot."
"Ha so Malfoy was there, what he want?" George asked.
"How come when we said idiot you automatically thought of Malfoy?" Harry asked.
George looked at him with piercing green eyes, "Who else have you called an idiot in the past five years? Besides he entered a few moments after you three." Everyone's head turned back towards the door and sure enough there was Malfoy standing in the back of the line. As they were looking Draco's father entered into the shop and eyed them strangely. They instantly turned their heads to the front.
'Mrs. Weasley told the three to go and pick up their books and then return to the line. She already had Fred, George, and Ginny's books. The three did as they were told and soon they left Flourish and Blots, but not with out glares from the Malfoys.
Once they were outside and on their way back to The Leaky Cauldron to travel home Hermione turned to her two best friends, "You know I don't like the way he was looking at us, or anything he said today. This is going to be a tough school year it looks like."
Ron snorted, "Like any of the others haven't. We will just have to watch our backs again this year."
But harry shook his head, "No this year is different, I can tell. Besides Voldemort is back to power now and in full strength and we've never dealt with that. We are going to have to be very careful this year and not look for trouble."
"Harry its not like we have ever exactly looked for trouble, it just kind of finds us. Though I do wish fate would pick on someone else for awhile."
"What are you talking about Hermione? It is our fate to be best friends and our fate to stop Voldemort, we need not try to change fate."
"Ron your wrong, it is my fate to stop Voldemort, or die trying." Harry said with a sad face.
"That's where you wrong Harry, we are your friends and we will be there for you no matter what happens. We will help." Hermione smiled at Harry who smiled back. Then the three got in a rather odd-looking group hug, which the twins noticed and jumped in the middle hug. And Ginny never wanting to feel left out joined in as well. And there they sat right out side the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron hugging.
