The sun was shining brilliantly on a warm summer morning. The sun put a glow onto young, Hermoine Granger's face. She slowly opened her eyes and peered around her room. She smiled as she thought of the dream she just had. She had received the position of Head Girl in her last year at her school, Hogwarts. She lay in her bed for a moment, pondering the possibilities. What if she really did make Head Girl next year? It would be a dream come true! Eventually, she rose out of bed, showered and dressed, and headed downstairs for breakfast. "Oh, good morning dear! Would you like some breakfast? I made French toast," said Hermoine's mother cheerfully.
"Sounds good! Hey, did my letter from Hogwarts come in today?" asked Hermoine.
"Yes it did, an owl came this morning. The letter should be in the living room."
Hermoine ran into the living room with a sudden burst of energy. One thing that Hermoine was known for was her love for learning, school was her favorite place to be. She had been waiting all summer, and now she finally received her letter. She was starting her 6th year at Hogwarts, which was exciting for Hermoine. She opened it up and found a list of all her new books that she needed. She made sure to fill up her schedule as much as she could, since she had only two more years left. "Did you find it dear?" her mother called from the kitchen.
"Yeah, and there is are so many new supplies I need this year! When can we go to Diagon Alley?"
"Well, how about tomorrow? Maybe you should write a letter to those friends of yours, so you could meet them there."
"Good Idea, I'll do it after breakfast."
Hermoine sent a letter to Harry and Ron that morning, Harry happened to be staying with the Weasleys that summer. Due to the fact that Harry and his relatives did not get along very well, at all. She got a reply from them that night too. Dear Hermoine, It's so good to hear from you! Ron and I have been having a wicked time this summer. Today we got our letters too. I bet you are excited about this year starting, aren't you? Well, anyway, we happen to be going to Diagon Alley tomorrow also. How about we meet at Flourish and Blott's at 12:00? If you can't, write us a letter, but we hope to see you there! Your Friends,
Harry and Ron
Hermoine folded up the letter and smiled, it was going to be nice to see her two closest friends again. She placed the letter in her nightstand, and climbed into bed. She fell asleep with a smile on her face, thinking of the days to come.
Harry's POV
I woke up to the voice of Mrs. Weasly calling from downstairs. "If you boys want to make it to Diagon Alley by 12:00 you better get up now!" Harry sat up slowly and looked over at Ron, who had his head covered by his pillow. "Ron, Ron, RON!" Harry screamed to his friend.
"What?" said Ron wearily. "Your mom just said for us to get up, so we better." "Yeah, alright."
They climbed out of their beds and headed down stairs for breakfast. Though Harry has been in this house so many times, he still couldn't help but be excited by looking around. This was the only wizard house he had ever been in, and he loved it! They finally got downstairs and sat down at the table with the rest of the family.
"Good Morning you two! I didn't think you would wake up, now hurry up and eat your breakfast. Its getting cold, and we have to leave in 10 minutes," said Mrs. Weasly.
After they were done eating, Harry and Ron went up stairs to get ready. They grabbed their things, and headed downstairs.
"Okay, hurry up, everyone is already there!" said Mrs. Weasly eagerly. She handed them each some floo powder. "Okay Harry, why don't you go first."
Harry nervously walked up the fireplace, although he had done it before, floo powder was not his favorite way to travel. He stood in the fireplace, threw the powder, and yelled, "Diagon Alley!" Soon everything was spinning and he heard a great whizzing sound. Then he suddenly hit the stone ground.
"Wow, good job Harry, you actually made it!" said George laughing. Harry went to defend himself when Ron suddenly came. He landed on the ground, stood up, dusted himself off, and looked at Harry. "Well, its five past 12:00, we better hurry up and find Hermoine. If we're late she might cast a spell on us!" said Ron. They all laughed, and Harry and Ron set off towards Flourish and Blott's.
They arrived at Flourish and Blott's and found Hermoine standing outside waiting. The moment she saw them she smiled and ran over. "Oh, its soooo good to see you guys!" she said happily. They all hugged each other and stood back. Harry had to admit Hermoine had changed quite a bit over the summer. Her hair was no longer bushy; it was now long and straight. She had lost her girlish figure, and had slimmed down. She smiled and suddenly jumped up. "I have so many books I need to get, isn't it exciting! I bet we are going to learn so much new stuff this year!" she said with a burst of excitement. She ran into the store and Harry and Ron looked at each other and laughed, she was still good old Hermoine to them.
They were having a great time that day, they bought all their school supplies and were just walking around. Hermoine decided to go to Flourish and Blott's one more time, to make sure she had all the books she needed. Since he had no intention in going there again, he decided he would much rather go to Quality Qudditch Supplies. He and Ron headed towards the store; they couldn't get over all the neat stuff in there. They were admiring the brand new brooms on display when suddenly they heard a cold voice from behind them.
"Well, well, well, look who it is! Potter and his friend Weasel," said Draco Malfoy coldly.
Harry turned around, not surprised to see who it was. "What do you want Malfoy?" said Harry angrily.
"How about you get lost, you ugly git!" Ron added in.
"Why don't you two shut up! Oh, what are you doing Weasly? Looking at equipment you and your family will never be able to afford?"
"Beat it Malfoy, or you'll be sorry!"
"Really Potter, what are you going to do? Cast a spell on me, or do you not know one? I see that your filthy mudblood girlfriend isn't here? She won't be able to help you, will she?" said Draco with a cold sneer on his face.
"That's it Malfoy, you'll be sorry you said that!" said Ron as he reached for his wand. He began to cast a spell on Malfoy when suddenly Hermoine yelled to him from 10 feet away. "RON! DON'T DO IT!" Surprised, Ron dropped the wand before saying the rest of the spell. "Ron, what do you think you're doing?" said Hermoine walking closer, "Whatever Malfoy said, he's not worth getting in trouble over! Listen Malfoy, you better leave!"
Harry watched Malfoy waiting for his reaction to Hermoine, but for a second he saw a different look in Malfoy's eyes. It was a look of not hate and disgust, but of kindness and love. The look was gone a second later though, and slowly a cold sneer covered his face. Without saying anything he just turned around, and stormed out of the store. "What was that about?" asked Harry curiously.
"I don't know," said Ron "he's mad!" The two boys started to leave the store, but Hermoine just stood there thinking. Harry wasn't the only one who saw that look in Draco's eyes.
