CHAPTER 1

Hermione awoke early on Monday morning, checking her bedside clock it read 5:36 AM; just enough time to get ready before everyone else wakes up.

Just to make sure, she lifted herself up off the bed and turned her head right, checking that Lavender and Parvati were still asleep. Amazingly enough they were.

Quietly she crept out of bed to get her uniform out of her dresser before heading to the bathroom.

After taking a hot shower and applying some light make-up (including 'Waldorf's Frizz Free') she stepped out of the bathroom ready for a whole new day and a whole new year at Hogwarts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Luckily for them, she woke up Lavender and Parvati; as she was about to head downstairs to the common room.

As she was walking along the corridor a familiar face poked out of a doorway.

"Mione, how are you Ms Head Girl?" it was Ginny. Hermione's best friend.

"I'm great Gin, are you ready to go down yet?" Hermione asked, looking at her friends face.

"Hmm...obviously not" Hermione continued when she came across Ginny's hairstyle.

Ginny laughed at Hermione's expression and told her to go on down without her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione entered the common room that was now filled with enthusiastic Gryffindors.

Well.... most of them were enthusiastic, with the exception of Ron & Harry, who were looking very serious over a game of 'Exploding Snap' in the corner of the room.

"Boys, put down those cards now!" She yelled at them mockingly, in a very professor like voice.

They did not seem to get the joke and dropped their cards out of their hands in such shock and fear that it took Hermione by great surprise.

"I was just joking, geeze" she laughed at them.

Both Harry & Ron were still looking ashen-faced at Hermione.

Finally Harry spoke.

"Hermione you scared us to death, we thought you were McGonagall, we thought she'd found out about the food we nicked from the kitchens last night."

-"Yeah, we were just talking about that, trying to get our minds off the fact that she could come in here any moment and give us a detention if she found out" Ron added.

"Don't worry my little friends, I can always change Professor McGonagall's mind about things. I AM head girl after all" she announced, while moving her hands in a motioning manner pointing at herself.

Harry rolled his eyes and Ron smiled up at her, faking a tear.

"Oh, my dear 'Mione's all grown up" Ron mockingly turned away sobbing onto Harry's shoulder.

Harry carefully took Ron off himself and said, "I think I'll go...down now....". And he left with a wave back at Hermione.

She chuckled and told Ron to grow up.

He gaped at Hermione as if he was greatly offended. "You, young lady, have lost ALL your sense of humour over the holidays, now...we really don't want another Head student like Percy again now do we? Hey, when were you putting your order in for that extra thick cauldron bottom you always wanted?"

Ron laughed and ran away shouting after Harry.

Hermione was left standing in the corner shaking her head. 'When will he grow up?' she thought.
