*Hermione's POV*
The morning after the sorting, Hermione woke up with a yawn. Reflecting on the past night she smiled. She just knew that she would love her house. Most other people in her house had also read their schoolbooks and were just as anxious to learn as her.
She crawled out of bed and slipped into her warm robes before heading downstairs. Downstairs a group of people were reading books about occupational nursing. *A.N. huh?* Hermione decided that it looked like tons of fun, so she went and joined the group.
They sat there studying so long they only got to eat breakfast for 5 minutes and get their schedules. It was a gross breakfast anyway.
After breakfast she headed to Transfiguration with Hannah Abbot and Justin Finch-Fletchly.
"This subject looks so intriguing, don't you think Hannah?" Hermione said.
"Simply fascinating, I can't wait to begin studying it." Hannah replied.
"Well, if you ask me, I think it's useful, but simply not my subject," Justin cut-in.
"Well, what do you prefer?" Hannah asked.
"Herbology," Justin answered her.
"Yes, Herbology, ology meaning the study of, and Herb meaning herbs. Yes, I must agree it is quite interesting," Hermione said.
"Not, quite interesting, extraordinarily interesting," Justin replied.
They entered the classroom, it was with Hufflepuff's (not really, but let's pretend). They sat down right in front and got ready to listen.
"Good Morning class," Professor McGonagall said.
"Good Morning Professor," the class replied.
"For those of you who don't know me, I am Professor McGonagall. I am the head of Gryffindor and I will be teaching you the fascinating subject of Transfiguration. Now get your quills and scrolls out." She said.
Hermione, Hannah and Justin got their things out. They took notes the whole class. Hermione was having the time of her life.
Next they had Herbology with the Slytherins. Hermione won 20 points for Ravenclaw and was very proud of that indeed. Though, the Slytherins didn't seem to happy about only winning five. Hermione shrugged it off; Ravenclaws were 'sposed to be smarter, weren't they?
"How'd you like Herbology?" Hermione asked Justin on the way to lunch.
"It was fantastic," Justin said. "It will definitely be my favorite subject.
"I agree," Hannah said, "though I think something like Charms may end up suiting me a little better."
"I personally found Transfiguration marvelous, I want to become an Animagus someday," Hermione said.
After Herbology, they headed to lunch. Hermione was talking to a 4th year about Divination. She thought it sounded stupendously wonderful. She was heading up to ask Dumbledore if she could start taking it this year instead of her 3rd year. As she was heading up, she saw Fred and George talking to. . . Harry Potter? Was it really him? The one on the train? She began running, but then got a hold of herself. 'Calm, cool and collected' she told herself and walked slowly by the Slytherin table. As she was walking she overheard two twin boys talking to Harry.
"It only gets harder," they were telling him.
'Did they mean school?' Hermione thought.
"Yes!" She shouted. She then noticed what she did. . . she completely embarrassed herself by talking out of place around Harry Potter!!
"What are you doing here?" a boy named. . . Seamus, was it? said.
Hermione 'collected' herself. "On my way to talk to Professor Dumbledore," She said.
"Then go," he said.
Hermione stomped off, Slytherins were really mean. Then she realized Harry hadn't said a word to her, maybe he wasn't like the others. Hermione crossed her fingers and went up Dumbledore.
"Excuse me professor Dumbledore sir, I. . . I was wondering, I was talking to a fellow classmate about Divination and realizing how interesting it seems, I was wondering if I might be able to start this year."
"Ah, Hermione isn't it? Yes, so many Ravenclaws have come up to me before asking the same question about similar courses. . ."
". . . there's others too?" Hermione interrupted, she quickly apologized, "sorry".
"Yes, there are many other fascinating subjects, but I am sorry, school policy says you must be a third year to begin."
"But your the headmaster, can't you change policy?" Hermione questioned.
"I'm afraid not, but if Professor Trelawny's predictions are true, a Divination club may be opening soon, for all years," Professor Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Well, though the class sounds incredibly intriguing, the club sounds absolutely marvelous, I do hope her predictions are true," Hermione stated.
"Ah, but they hardly are. . . yet I feel this one may pass the Headmaster's approval."
"Excellent," Hermione smiled.
The afternoon passed with a breeze, which is a literal meaning because the Ravenclaws began flying lessons that afternoon. *A.N. I know they don't start right away but. ...* Though it took Hermione numerous tries, she finally got on her broom and hovered a few feet before having to touch back down. She was greatly disturbed though, most of her class was able to fly by the end of the class, but not her.
As soon as she returned to the Ravenclaw common room she raced to her dorm and flopped on her bed in tears.
"Why? Why can't I fly?" she cried to herself. "Am I really that stupid that I have not the brains to fly? It's not fair! Even Neville could fly! He even caught his Remembrall when he dropped it from 40 feet high!!"
After what seemed for hours of depression (which actually was only 10 minutes), Hannah came in the room.
"Oh, Hermione, it's okay, I couldn't even get off the ground today. At least you hovered, I am stupid. But guess what?? We're reading about Respiratory Therapy now in the common room!!!!
Hermione smiled, "Yes!!! This is gonna be awesome!!!"
Hermione raced to the common room where the earlier study group had been that morning. Ariah (a 6th year) had set up a blackboard and gathered old pamphlets about Respiratory Therapy.
"Hey everyone, we're starting at 6:00!!!" she shouted.
"Wait," Hermione said, "what about dinner?"
"We've got that covered," she said. Just then some 5th year boys came in a dumped a pile of snacks on the couch.
"Where'd that come from?" Hermione asked.
"The kitchen," one boy said brushing his hands off.
"It just so happens that as being Ravenclaws, we tend to get along with all houses pretty well, even Slytherin. Fred and George Weasley told us how to get in." another boy added.
"Cool," said Hermione. She picked up a loaf of bread, broke off a piece and gave the loaf to Hannah, who in turn, did the same thing and passed it on.
As soon as everyone got some food (which was amazingly only 20, apparently either Respiratory Therapy didn't interest many people- how could it not, or people voted on dinner instead in the Great Hall), they got started.
The whole session lasted until 8:00, Hermione found the whole session, of course, very intriguing.
After the session ended, Hermione raced to her dorm, grabbed her books and raced back down to work on her homework and read ahead in the books of the classes she had the next day, even though she had already read all the books at home.
It was one in the morning when she went to bed, which was amazingly very early. About half the common room was still up, of course they were all the upper years.
As Hermione climbed in bed, she couldn't help thinking of how wonderful the day had been and had already forgotten about the flying incident. She couldn't wait until her classes the next day.
A.N. All right, I had Junior Shadowing, and I went to the Health session, though I want to be a teacher, but they didn't have that option, so. that's where I got occupational nursing, and respiratory therapy. hope you all liked this chapter, sorry it took so long to get up, I'm very busy. No hard feelings about Hermione's weird interests, just trying to make it funny Next chapter is Ron's P.O.V.- yay. Anyway, before I write more, I want 10 reviews just to make sure people are actually enjoying it. Thank you to all who reviewed in the past, I appreciate the reviews!! Also, go read my brother's Gratium Puto and its sequel, The New Me.
