"Fine!" Hermione slammed the phone down. Victor Krum had been her boyfriend for two years; ever since the end of 4th year. He was older than her, and apparently found someone more to his age and liking. A tear ran down her cheek. She wasn't sad though. She was angry. He had acted so in love with her. "Oh Hermione, make up your mind!" she thought to herself. It had scared her when he had declared his love for her, and now that he had taken it back she was upset.

Her train of thought was broken when a small owl tapped furiously at her bedroom window. After letting him in she had to wear him out in order to catch him. She didn't mind having to wear the bird out when she saw that the letter was from her good friend Ron. As she thought of him she smirked. He was totally infatuated with her, or had been last time she checked. She hoped that maybe he had found someone who reciprocated his feelings over the summer. She liked him. but only as a friend; the same way she felt about Harry. After giving Pig a treat she let him out. As she was about to shut the window, she noticed that a larger owl was almost to her house. She took the letter from it and gave it a treat. After it left she flopped over on her bed and opened the letter from Ron:

Dear Hermione,
I can't believe that we are going into our last year of Hogwarts! Harry has been here since Monday. Anyway, I have this plan that my mum has approved already. Since we already agreed to meat at Diagon Ally on Saturday I thought that you could come back with us to the Burrow for the rest of the of the summer. Anyway, ask your parents and send a reply. Oh, and if lovey-dovey cuddling makes you sick, don't come. Harry and Ginny have been all over each other.
Love, Ron

She turned the second letter over to reveal the Hogwarts Crest imprinted in the melted wax that held the envelope closed. The envelope was a weird shape; lumpy and heavy. The last time she had gotten an envelope like this was four years ago when she had gotten her Prefect Badge. She had no idea what this could be. After ripping the envelope open, she read the letter inside.

Congratulations,
I am pleased to inform you that after showing six years of great skill, dedication, and responsibility, you have earned the title of Head Girl. Please stay after the sorting so that I may show you and the Head Boy to your living quarters.
Albus Dumbledoor

The other paper was her usual list of school supplies. She turned the envelope over to rid it of its remaining contents. A small velvet pouch fell out. It was smooth and black; it reminded her of her potions master, Severus Snape. "Oh gods. Why do I keep thinking of him?" There was a ring in the pouch. She took in a sharp breath when she realized how beautiful it was. It was a lustrous platinum band with two fine gold vines laced around each edge. The letters HG were engraved in-between two diamonds that were embedded in the platinum. On the inside her house and year were engraved. She slipped it on her finger. It magically shrunk to fit her snugly. She almost took it off incase any of her muggle friends saw it. Then she smiled to herself as she realized that HG was her initials.

She ran downstairs to show her mother the ring and to ask if she could stay with Ron. Her mother was overjoyed at Hermione being Head Girl, though she wasn't quite sure what it was. Hermione wasn't surprised when she said she could stay with Ron and Harry. She suspected it was because she had the reputation of a good girl.
