Hermione sat down in her train compartment getting ready for her last train
ride to her beloved school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She
sat down and started to think about all that had happened over the summer.
Not all of the things that had happened had been bad. Voldemort had been
defeated for sure along with all of his followers, but something surprising
came out of that. It had been revealed to the whole wizarding world that
Draco Malfoy is not a death eater nor ever wanted to be. He actually helped
to kill Voldemort and he also killed his own father, in which after the
Daily Prophet interviewed, him it turns out that he doesn't regret it.
Hermione knew all of this because she kept her subscription to the Daily
Prophet for the last few years.
But while everyone was celebrating Hermione was being told two life- changing topics. Her parents first told her that she had been adopted and that her real parents, who had been wizards, had been killed by Voldemort and that Dumbledore specifically asked the Grangers to take care of Hermione. This was only the first part. After Hermione had talked to her 'parents' she decided that even though she had been adopted she still thought of them as her parents and nothing would change. It was then that they told her something life shattering.
They didn't want to tell her but now that she had confessed that they were the only parents she had and that she still loved them as much as ever they felt obligated to tell her this tragic information. Hermione's mom had cancer. They had been to the doctors and they told her that chemotherapy wouldn't do anything except maybe spare her life by a couple of weeks at the most but other than that she only had a few months left. Of course there was a lot of tears shed at that moment and when she left her house that morning had been the hardest part for them all.
Thinking about this brought tears to her eyes though she wouldn't let them fall in case someone was to walk in. She decided that she wanted to get here mind off of things so she picked up her Spell book and read it over for the fifth time. After a little while Hermione decided it was time to go and try to find Harry and Ron since there was about 15 minutes until the train was to leave.
" I got here way too early, but I didn't want to wait and mope around my house for the rest of the morning before leaving at the usual time that I leave on the first day" thought Hermione.
Hermione stepped out of the train and immediately spotted red hair come through the barrier. She waited until the last two came through which was Harry and Ginny. Hermione would have been there with them but she wanted to spend time with her mom. Though she told the Weaselys that she was taking some muggle classes at the local high school, so they believed that and didn't question her more on the subject. She didn't tell them because she didn't want it to get all over the school and for her to be given sympathy and be treated differently. She decided that it was time to see her friends, so she walked over to them and stood by them but they didn't acknowledge her presence.
"Ahem!" Hermione cleared her throat to make her presence known.
"Hello. What's your name? Oh and no autographs," said Harry Potter, one of her best friends.
"Umm.. thinking a bit high of yourself there Potter. You've never said that to me before."
"Yes he hasn't said that before to you because he has never seen you." said Ron with a hint of sarcasm.
"You guys seriously don't recognize me?" and with out waiting for a reply she continued, "It's Hermione."
The expressions on their faces were priceless. Ron went crimson and then had an excited look in his eyes. Harry looked mildly impressed and something else was in his eyes that Hermione couldn't place. Ginny just got really excited.
"Oh my gosh! 'Mione! You look great! How did you do it because if it is a spell I need it."
Then Hermione figured out why they didn't recognize her. She had totally changed her appearance. And now that she thought back to it she realized that she must be a knock out because muggles and wizards alike openly checked here out. She now had strait-as-a-board hair that reached her lower back. It had blue streaks in it which contrasted with her brown hair perfectly. She had started to wear make-up, even though she wears it, she doesn't apply too much or too little, it was just perfect. She had also filled out considerably. Her whole wardrobe had changed too. She now had some shirts that showed her perfectly fit stomach.
"Hey guys! It's really great to see you. Can you believe that this is our last year at Hogwarts? I can't believe it. I mean I remember our first year here. It's amazing you know, that we have come this far alive."
"ok Hermione breathe. Yeah I remember that all too." said Harry
Just then a voice came over the crowds.
"Would Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy please come to the front compartment? Thank you and for the rest of the students the train will be leaving in exactly two minutes."
"Well I guess I should be going. Hope to see you guys on the train and if not then, then I will see you at the sorting ceremony." said Hermione before she departed.
"Bye 'Mione! See you later!" they all yelled in unison.
