*-*Prologue*-*

'This summer is going to rock!' thought Hermione as she boarded the plane with her parents. Two months in Australia visiting her cousins was going to be the time of her life and she knew it. With Hogwarts homework out of the way and all books for the 7th year packed in her suitcase, she was set out for some fun in the sun!! ((Of course in Hermione's terms 'fun in the sun' simply meant reading while sun bathing! Hehe)) Hermione had just finished her 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and things were looking her way!

*-* Chapter 1::The Train Ride Home*-*

"Hermione Ann Granger!! If you don't get down these steps in 1 minute you'll miss the train!!" Ms. Granger yelled from the front door. September 1st had finally arrived and it was time to head back to school!
After checking herself one last time in the mirror, Hermione finally agreed that she looked about as good as possible for her. Australia had changed her big time! The sun cast down a nice honey tan over her now very curvy body while her cousins insisted on teaching her fashion. Once she got a taste of it she was hooked and now could not live a single day with out her raspberry-vanilla lip-gloss and well-styled hair. She was now a gigantically towering 5 foot 3" ((hehe)) and her once wild, bushy hair now fell sleek and straight down to her mid-back with slight blonde highlights.
On this day she settled for a simple look, deciding on baby blue flip- flops, a cut-off denim mini skirt and a simple white tank top. She left her hair down and added medium sized hoop earrings for a little extra. 'Harry and Ron are going to flip!' she thought as she dapped on a little lip-gloss and eyeliner before running down the stairs and out the door.
After the 45-minute drive to downtown London, she bid farewell to her parents as she stepped on to Platform 9 ¾, glad to finally be home. She looked around for Harry's messy black mop hair, or maybe even Ron's bright red tresses. After searching for a moment or two, she gave up in defeat and headed off to find an empty compartment to stow away her luggage.
Just as she heaved her last parcel into place she heard a loud shriek from behind her. As Hermione turned around she had just enough time to figure out where the noise had come from, or shall I say whom before her best girlfriend Ginny stampeded her.
"Hermione! OH MY MERLIN!! I've missed you so much over the summer! You look amazing! How was your trip? Meet any hotties? Wow! I love your earrings, how are you?" Ginny squealed amazingly all in one breathe.
"Gin! Wow, you look great, too! I had." but Hermione never got to finish for in the next instant Ron had her whipped up in the biggest bear hug you could imagine! Hermione swore she heard her rib crack.
After about a minute or so of crushing, Ron placed her down and was no doubtable about to ask her how her summer was too when two arms snaked around Hermione's middle and she was lifted up from behind. This time is was Harry crushing her bones though.
After about 5 more minutes of the "Hi, long time no see, how have you been?" conversation and a lot of oogling done towards Hermione by Ron and Harry, everything was basically like it was left off at the beginning of the summer. Harry and Ron were on one side of the cabin discussing new Quidditch plays while Hermione told Ginny all about Australia and how she managed to straighten her hair. Suddenly, a loud knocking, more like a banging, pounded on the doorway. Harry, conveniently enough sitting the closest to the entryway, hesitated a moment then moved to open the door.
"You?!" Harry started to the figure in the entry.
