**************************************************************************** **
The last week of summer break went by quickly for all of them. During that week, the four friends met Mr. Weasly, Bill, Charlie, & Percy, including Penelope, his girlfriend. Actually, they were going to get married in December. Hermione & Ron started spending more time together, & things were back to normal between Harry, Ron, & Hermione...well, almost. Hermione still couldn't shake the feeling that she liked Harry as more than a friend, & kept trying to hide it, but it became harder & harder to do. Now, it is the morning of their leaving to Hogwarts, & the four were going to find out how hectic the morning was going to be for them.
"Hermione! Virginia! Wake up! It's time to get ready to leave!" Mrs. Weasly exclaimed, waking them up so suddenly that they fell out of their beds. "Mum!" Ginny exclaimed, giving her mum an evil glare. "Don't give me that look Virginia. Now, you girls get ready quickly, & I'll let you wake Harry & Ron up, got it?" The two girls exchanged evil looks & said, "Okay. We'll be ready in ten minutes." Since they packed up the night before, all they had to do was get dressed, so Mrs. Weasly left their room to wake up Fred & George as Hermione & Ginny quickly got ready.
Ten minutes later, the two girls were finished getting ready & after bringing their trunks downstairs, ran up to Ron & Harry's room to get them up. Before opening the door, Hermione said, "You get Ron, & I'll get Harry." She nodded, smirking, & they opened the door & quietly crept to each of the beds. Hermione silently counted, "1..........2..............3!" They jumped on their beds & exclaimed, "GET UP SLEEPYHEADS!" "AHHH!" they yelled, Ron sounding like a girl, & they falling out of their beds. Hermione & Ginny fell onto their beds, laughing their hearts out. "You- you...should have see-seen......your faces!" Ginny barely got out, laughing hard enough she was now weezing, & so was Hermione. Ron & Harry looked at each other & smirked. Then, they both crept over to the two girls, Ron to Ginny & Harry to Hermione, & they picked them up. "Harry! Put me down!" Hermione squealed, starting to kick & tried to forget the idea that he was only in his boxers. He smirked & started carrying her down the stairs, or more like, running while carrying her down the stairs. "HARRY!" she exclaimed while laughing; she was enjoying this, even though she didn't want to admit it. Ron was following them down the stairs, with Ginny screaming revenge at him. When they reached the family room, Harry slammed Hermione into the couch, then sitting on her. "Get off me Harry Potter!" she squealed, laughing really hard. He turned his head to face her & smiled. "I don't think so," he smirked, but then got off of her & helped her up; he caught sight of what she was wearing & tried not to gasp. She was wearing a scarlet halter top, with gold vines weaving all over it, & black jeans with black boots. She also had on a gold choker with a ruby in the middle, the same one she wore the first day they arrived. Suddenly, he noticed he was still holding her hand & dropped it, saying, "I...um...got to go get ready." He beat it up the stairs, having everyone staring after him in shock, mostly Hermione, who couldn't pick out the obvious if it came up & bit her in the arse. Ron followed Harry up the stairs, needing to get dressed, as Hermione & Ginny made it to the table to eat breakfast. "What was that about?" Ginny whispered to Hermione. Hermione shrugged & whispered back, "I wish I knew."
After everyone ate, they got into Ministry cars (they still didn't have a car), Mr. & Mrs. Weasly, Fred, George, & their luggage in the first car & Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, & their luggage in the second one. The four were talking about how cool it would be to finally see Hogwarts. For Hermione, this was a dream come true. She always wanted to go to Hogwarts, & now she was, even if she really wasn't herself. Finally, they arrived at Kings' Cross Station. "Alright, Fred, George, you first, then Harry & Hermione, then Ron & Ginny, then me & your father. Now come on, get a move on! The train is leaving in 10 minutes." Fred & George quickly ran into the barrier & disappeared, then it was Harry & Hermione's turn. Since they never did this before, they made it into a quick jog, their carts following behind them. Suddenly, it was over & Hermione opened her eyes & looked onto a wonderful sight. There were so many kids everywhere, & there was the magnificent scarlet train. "It's beautiful," Hermione breathed, taking in everything at once. Harry looked at it too, but was amazed with Hermione's sight, her face when she saw the train, everything. "Alright Hermione, Ron & Ginny are already heading to the train; we need to find them for a compartment." Hermione nodded & followed Harry onto the train.
Soon enough, they found Ron & Ginny in a compartment, taking out a pack of Exploding Snap cards. "Hey guys," Hermione said, & took a seat next to Ginny, "Sorry if we were long. I just wanted to take a look at the train." Harry took a seat next to Ron as he asked, "You guys playing Exploding Snap?" "Yeah, wanna play?" Ron stated, starting to shuffle the deck. "Sure," Harry said. Hermione shook her head no. "Not today; I wanna finish reading my books, get a grasp at Hogwarts & do my best." Ginny shook her head while chuckling. "Looks like someone is becoming who they are." "Haha, very funny," Hermione said back, taking out their Defense Against the Dark Arts book, turning to a page, & reading. While they were playing their card game, Harry would glance over at Hermione reading. He couldn't help it, but he became fasinated with how she read, her eyes reading each word intensely, her brain absorbing all of the information like a dangerously dry sponge. (*A/N: Alright, bad proverb, but hey, that's what it's like.) Soon enough, the old witch with the snack cart came & asked them, "Is there anything I can get you, dears?" All four got up & bought little food, prepared to play around with the wizard candy again. As they were eating, someone appeared at their compartment; it was Malfoy & his two cronies, Crabbe & Goyle.
"What are you doing here, Malfoy?" Ron sneered, wanting Malfoy to leave. "To come & see the beautiful Hermione, of course," he replied, trying to touch Hermione's hair, but she slapped his hand away, now standing up. "Get out, ferret boy. We don't need to see your slimy arse here." "How about..........no." Just as he tried to kiss her, she punched his gut, sending him flying back into the wall. 'Whoa, when did I get so strong?' she thought to herself as Malfoy got up & hissed, "You'll pay you dirty, good-for-nothing bitch." As Malfoy went to grab her, Harry stood in front of Hermione, protecting her, & grabbed his wrist. "Don't-move-one-more- muscle-Malfoy," Harry demanded, his anger rising. He didn't notice his grip increasing, causing Malfoy to start wimpering. Realizing what he was doing, he quickly let go & slammed the door in his face. "Whoa Harry, you made Malfoy's wrist turn purple," Ginny gasped, not believing Harry just did that. Ron couldn't even speak, he was too shocked. Hermione did something nobody even expected her to do: she left. "Hermione, wait!" Harry called out, going to run after her, but Ginny stopped him. "Harry, stay here; I'll talk to her." With that, Ginny swiftly walked out, following the direction Hermione walked in.
Ginny soon found Hermione in a compartment not too far from theirs. She walked in to see Hermione staring out the window.......crying? "Hermione, what's wrong?" Ginny asked, sitting next to her. Hermione looked her way, eyes slightly red. "Cindy....I don't know what to do," Hermione replied, her voice trembling. Making sure the door was shut & casting a Silencing Charm, Cindy asked, "Tara, what don't you know what to do?" Looking at her again, she said quietly, "I think I'm falling for Keith."
