A/N: Thanks again for the reviews. I'm writing fast since I'm still on vacation. I have nothing to do. I had fun reading fan fiction so I decided to write one on my own. I only have this week and next week free so I want to finish it all before classes. But we'll see if I can finish what I planned.
Title: Models
Chapter13:
A New Beginning
Fifth year started with the students heading towards Hogwarts. 6th year wasn't any different. This time Harry and Ron were eager to board the train. Harry had convinced his uncle to drop him of early so that they would be rid of him earlier. Ron has convinced Ginny to hurry what ever she was doing. He got up early and practically dragged his sister out of her bed. These two had a common goal; they wanted to see Hermione. During the vacation, she said that she had a few photo shoot. They wanted to see anything that changed.
"Hey Harry!" Ron was the first to see him.
"Hey Ron! Woke up early I see."
"Same goes for you, I guess."
"What did you do this vacation?"
"Mum was fretting about you-know-who. She said she wanted us to be safe. She brought books on protection. She wanted us, her children to know them by heart. Some spells were familiar. Mum was proud that I was able to do them without difficulty. If she knew we were practicing them without permission, I just know that she would've gone ballistic. How bout your vacation? You look like you've been hanging out too much in the sun."
"The Dursley's didn't think that their garden was good enough. They had a garden party for Uncle Vernon's promotion. I had to work on it for a month. They wouldn't let me use magic not that Dumbledore would've approved of it either."
"Why didn't they hire a professional? A month? They waited a month to have the party?"
"They were expecting the promotion. When they heard that my uncle would get promoted, that's when the gardening project started. They said they didn't need to hire a professional since I'm around. That way they could save whatever they would have to pay one. You should've seen the garden before and after."
"Looks like you're proud of you work. You know, our garden is in pretty bad shape. Maybe you could come over sometime. We promise to let you use magic." Ron teased his friend.
"Funny, but I think after what I've experienced, I wouldn't want to see another garden again. It's brutal work."
The two friends were having fun catching up with each other. Somebody else came early. The person was someone with blond hair and blue eyes. He was eyeing the two friends disgusted with their camaraderie. He believed that friends are some means to make you weak. True strength comes with being alone. That was what his father taught him. In his eyes, Potter and Weasley were nothing but pathetic weaklings that needed help all the time. He turned and headed towards the train. He had no one to wait for. Crabbe and Goyle weren't much of a company. And he definitely didn't need someone dangling at his arms like Pansy. She was okay as a Slytherin but the fact that she hangs on is too annoying. The best thing that he could do with his time now is to find a suitable seat.
People started coming in. Occasionally, there would be young witches and wizards coming towards Harry and Ron just to say hello. Harry was still famous for everything that's happened. Harry didn't like the attention too much. His privacy was something he treasured. He was all alone for 10 years with the Dursley's. All the attention was overwhelming. Ron however, treasured these moments. There were times he was envious of Harry's fame but sometimes when there was too much expectations, he was glad he wasn't wearing his shoes.
Before long, Hermione was the one coming up to the two friends. Harry and Ron were so absorbed with talking about Quidditch that they didn't noticed someone coming over. "Hey guys. It's our 6th year and I expect you guys to be serious. We only have 2 years left in Hogwarts. We have to start thinking what we'll do after Hogwarts." Hermione smiled at them as she saw their expression.
"What a way to greet us Hermione." Harry was struck at the sight that greeted him. Actually, both men couldn't believe what they saw. Hermione have changed since last year. Her hair was fixed. She got the body and all. Nobody thought anything could be improved. They were wrong. The few months away made her face older, in a sense, she looked more mature. That trait was more attractive than the fact that she was wearing leather skirt that accentuated her asset. She wore sandals that have those straps that hugged her long legs. Her top composed of a white sleeveless shirt enveloped in matching leather jacket.
Hermione saw the reaction of her friends and she didn't want to make them uneasy with her as last year. She grabbed their necks and gently bumped their head together.
"AW!" Both of them then got back their senses and acknowledge her gesture as a knock-it-off thing.
Hermione smiled at her two friends who were now massaging their head. She looked at them both and saw that they two have changed. They do not possess the childish look that they had before. Ron was a man now. He didn't look awkward at the height that he's gained. If anything, he looked graceful. His freckles were growing faint.
Harry's face had mature. He was tanned now. Not that she was complaining. She liked men that are tanned not pale as a ghost. She hugged them both and noticed that Harry had a stronger built than before. She couldn't imagine how he got the built and the tan. 'I'll have to ask him later.'
"Look Hermione, we missed you too but you didn't have to hurt us. We would've noticed you sooner." Ron was trying his best to make a conversation and it wouldn't hurt if they argued. He had fun arguing with her although he would not tell her that fact.
"I would've been more careful if you didn't noticed."
"Hey, hey! It's just our first meeting since our vacation and you two are already fighting?" Harry liked playing mediator. It was a challenge to stop their arguments without clinging on one side.
"Ok, but what I said about focusing earlier was no joke. We need to have direction."
"Hermione, classes haven't started yet. Why don't we just talk first?" Harry didn't want to start worrying about classes.
"Fine. But you have to promise me that you'll think about it."
"We promise. Can we ask you a question though?" Ron was careful not to agitate her. He never wins when it came to studies.
"What?"
"After Hogwarts, what are you planning to do? I'm pretty sure you know what you'd like to do. I was just wondering if you'd give up modeling and stay here in the wizarding world?"
"Oh that." She took a deep breath to watch them sweat for a moment and noticed that both her friends were looking at her seriously. They were holding their breaths now unable to bear the suspense. 'Do they actually think I can give up this world? I've worked hard to get where I am now, I wouldn't give it up for anything.' "I thought that I would be better off with modeling since it is much easier."
Both her friends face paled. They couldn't believe what she said. "But what about all that you've worked for?" Harry was now on a debating mood himself.
Hermione couldn't stand it anymore and laughed really hard. That was the cue the guys needed to relax their faces. "I can't believe you really thought that I'd exchange magic to walk in a walkway! You should've seen your faces. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen."
They blushed at this but were glad that they Hermione wouldn't leave them. "I didn't know you two were sweet."
"She's making fun of us Harry, let's leave her here."
Harry and Ron started walking towards the train. Hermione still giggling at what happened followed Harry to a compartment.
