At The Granger's
Hermione was silently sleeping when an owl began to peck at her window. She had awoken by the sound. She got up and seen it was Harry's owl, Hedwig. She opened the window and went to get a bowl of water for Hedwig. When she got back, she set the bowl down and untied the letter off Hedwig's leg. The letter read:
Hermione,
When are you coming to The Burrow? The Weasley's and I are wondering. If you aren't, meet us at Diagon Alley the Friday, before we go back to school.
Love,
Harry & Ron
Hermione thought about going, but decided not to. She wanted to be with her family and her Muggle friends for the next month or so... She began to write her reply:
Harry & Ron
I'm not coming to The Burrow this year. Sorry. I just want to spend the rest of the summer with my family. Thanks anyways.
Yours Truly,
Hermione
Once she sent Hedwig off with her reply, another owl flew through the window. 'It must be from Hogwarts,' she thought and in fact, she was correct. It was addressed to her and her sister, Aya, who just turned 11 on June 28. 'So, Aya must have been accepted. That's good.' She opened the envelope and got her letter out and it said:
Dear Miss Granger,
We are glad to have your sister, Aya, coming to Hogwarts this year. This year, being your fifth year and all, you've been accepted as a prefect. Alicia Spinnet (Gryffindor) and Andrew Hudson (Ravenclaw) are Head Girl and Boy. You will share a common room with the heads and the other prefects. Your supply list is attached. Please bring a Muggle-style dress.
Yours Sincerely,
Professor M. McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress
When she finished reading the letter, she made a muffled scream (squeak or whatever), and ran to wake her sister.
"Aya, wake up!" Hermione screamed. "You've been accepted to Hogwarts!" She shook her sister.
"Leave me alone!" Aya yelled. "I want to sleep!"
"Sis, you've been accepted to Hogwarts! My school, Aya! You've wanted to go there since my first year! Wake up!"
"Okay, okay! Stop yelling! Where's my letter?"
"Here," Hermione handed Aya her letter. It said just about the same thing Hermione's said when she got her's. Aya made a muffled scream (squeak or whatever) like Hermione did.
"Oh, yes! Finally, I get to be in the same school as you, sis!" Aya yelled.
"Aya Marie Granger! Calm down," said Hermione.
"Hermione Elizabeth Granger!" her mom boomed. "You'll wake up the whole neighborhood!"
"It wasn't me, it was Aya," Hermione stated.
"Well, tell her to keep it down!"
"Okay, mom!… Aya you need to keep it down. I wasn't this excited when I got my letter, and you shouldn't be either… Once mom and dad fully wake up we'll go to Diagon Alley to get our supplies. Is that 'okay' with you?"
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. I'm going back to sleep."
"Okay... I'm going to read... Bye, sis."
"Bye." Hermione left her sister's room and went back to her own room. She picked up Standard Book of Spells (Grade 5) by Miranda Goshawk and started reading.
***Hermione read for about an hour before her parents woke up. When, she heard them talking, she bookmarked her page and ran to get them. She found her parents drinking coffee in the kitchen.
"Hello, mom and dad! We got our letters today," Hermione said happily.
"Well, that's good, hunny," her mom said.
"Yeah, and this year I'm a prefect! I knew I was gonna get it!"
"That's good, sweetheart," her dad said.
"Can you take us to Diagon Alley? We need to get our supplies."
"Sure, hun. Go get your sister up, and we'll go," said her mom.
"Thanks, mom," she exclaimed and ran up the stairs to get her sister up. "Aya, get up!" She shook her sister. "Come on! We are about to leave to get our supplies!"
"Hermone," Aya screamed. "I'll be down in a second! Okay?"
"Okay, but hurry!" Hermione ran out of her sister's room and went to her room to get a robe on. She went down to the livingroom to wait for her sister. Her parents came in, and took a sit on the couch. "She needs to hurry up," Hermione exclaimed.
"Aya! Your sister is getting impatient," her mom boomed.
"I'm coming," Aya yelled from upstairs. Aya ran down the stairs and almosted tripped on the bottom step. "Damn," she muttered to herself.
"What, hunny?" her mom asked.
"Oh, nothing," she said, saying it more to herself then anyone else.
"Okay, then. Let's Floo," said Hermione looking quite anxious.
They were about to Floo, when Aya said, "Wait, I have to get my bracelet. I'll hurry and get it." She ran up to her room and went to grab her bracelet, when she heard a tapping noise on her window. There was an eagle owl at her window. "Hmmm...," she said. "Wonder who this is from"
