Rachel: Thanks:-)

Draco is the man: Cool:-) I do too-though I'm not very good

Strawberries and Blueberries: Thanks! There's like no fics with Justin

TwinkelTrina: Thanks for adding me to your favs. Hermione is in her 6th year and Justin will come later. She is still on summer vacation-that is the summer before her 6th year. I'm really glad you like this and I am sad I will be unable to finish this before I go on vacation.

"Hermione?"

"Yes Mum?"

"The Ice Skating Team called. It's going to be another month till they decide."

"But they already said it was going to be a month after the cut! It's already August"

"Well, it's taking a lot longer. You'll probably find out at Hogwarts. Oh and Kelly called." Hermione smiled, thinking of her boyfriend of the past month. They'd met at the skating auditions last month and became instant friends. A week later, he had asked her out and she accepted. She still didn't know how she was going to tell him that she was a witch. She was just going to have to wait to see how the relationship went. If it had promise, she would worry about it then.

"Oh? Anything in particular?"

"He wanted to know if you wanted to go skating at the rink this afternoon." Hermione pouted.

"I was supposed to meet Harry and Ron at Diagon Alley." Hermione sighed "I'll call him. I haven't seen Ron or Harry all summer and I do need my supplies."

Hermione's mom smiled. "He'll understand." Hermione smiled and helped her mom clean up the dishes.

"Well, here's some money. Get yourself something nice. I'll see you after work. Your dad will be home late."

"Alright." She hugged her mom and went upstairs to call Kelly.

"Hello."

"Kelly? It's me, Hermione. Mum said you called."

"Hey Mione! Yeah! I was wondering if you wanted to go skating this afternoon."

"Oh Kelly, I would love to, but I can't. I promised my friends from boarding school that we would meet. We have to get our school supplies and I haven't seen them all summer. They'll kill me if I cancel out on them." Kelly sighed in defeat.

"Alright, Mione. I do want to meet these friends of yours one day."

"I promise."

"I'm holding you to that. I'll call you tonight."

"Alrighty. Bye Kelly."

"Bye Mione."

Hermione smiled and then quickly got ready. She wondered if Harry and Ron would recognize her. She blushed, remembering the amount of times Kelly would tell her how pretty she was. Both of them had made the cut to the semis. Out of the six singles, only 2 would be chosen. She smiled, put on the necklace Kelly had given to her, and rushed downstairs. She grabbed some floo powder, shouted Diagon Alley, and leaped into the green flame. A moment later, she was dusting the soot off her clothes

"Mione!" Harry picked her up and gave a bear hug. Hermione smiled.

"Harry you look good."

"You too. You're pretty."

"Where's Ron?'

"Here." Ron embraced her. He released her a moment later and smiled down at her. "Let's go."

The three of them walked through Diagon Alley, picking up their supplies. Ron and Harry ran to Quidditch supplies. Hermione chuckled. She should have known and subconsciously felt Kelly's necklace.  She jumped when Ron and Harry ran up to her.

"Why do you keep touching your necklace?"

"Well I"

"From Kelly.Who's she?"

"It's a he."

"A he? What kind of name is Kelly for a guy?!"

"It's Welsh" Hermione muttered.

"What?"

"I said it's Welsh!"

"Ok. Calm down Mione."

"Sorry." She blushed.

Harry raised an eyebrow. "Mione-is there something you want to tell us?"

"N—no.."

Harry looked at her amused and tickled her. "No-stop Harry" She said in between laughter.

"Well, will you tell us?"

"Oh yes Mione, do tell."

"K—Kelly is –my boyfriend. I've been seeing him for a month. Met him outside of London at an event I had to go to."

Harry and Ron nodded, smiling. They were happy for Hermione. Ron had gotten over his childhood crush on Hermione and began dating Padma and Harry was finally dating Ginny. Ron wouldn't have Ginny dating anyone else.

"Mum! I'm home." Hermione walked into the living room where her mom and Kelly were talking.

"Mione!"

"Kelly!" Hermione smiled. Kelly kissed her gently and sat her down next to him.

"Hon, Kelly and I were talking. He clearly adores you. I think it's time you told him who you are."

"Mum! I..I can't not now…We've only been seeing each other a month. What if…" Hermione looked at Kelly.

"I have an idea. Your mum told me there was something different or special. Please tell me. I won't leave you because you are different. Never that. I like you too much"

Hermione took a deep breath. "I'm a witch."

Kelly stared at her.

"No really Kelly-I'm a real witch." Kelly burst into laughter.

"Nice one Mione."

Hermione sighed. "I knew you wouldn't believe me. Listen. My school is a boarding school, but that's not the complete truth. It's not a normal school. It's called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I'm starting my 6th year. We go for 7 years, starting at age 11. We get our mail via owls. I have" She pulled out her wand.

Kelly looked at her, skeptical. "Nice imagination."

"The ministry is going to have my hide for this," Hermione muttered.

She pointed her wand towards the kitchen. "Accio glass." A glass came floating in midair towards Hermione and she caught it. Kelly widened his eyes in amazement. At that moment, an owl swooped in and dropped an envelope and flew off. Hermione's mom handed her the envelope. Hermione saw the Ministry symbol.

"Great! The first time I use underage magic and the Ministry decides to send me a warning!" Hermione rolled her eyes as she read the letter. "It's probably that horrible woman: Umbridge!"

Kelly put his arm around Hermione.

"Mione! I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not believing you and now I've done and gotten you in trouble with the ministry?"

'Magic government," Hermione answered his unasked question. "You're not going to break up with me, are you?"

Kelly smiled at her gently. "Of course not sweetie. I think it's really cool too."

"I'm glad-because it's as much a part of my life as skating is."

"Speaking of skating, have you" He was interrupted by a noise in the fireplace in the next room.

They ran over. "Ron! Harry! What are you?"

"You really need to clean out your fireplace Mione." Ron complained, sputtering. Ro and Harry dusted themselves off. Kelly looked at Hermione, questioningly.

"Floo network. One way of traveling. Ron, Harry. What are you doing here?"

"Came to visit?" She narrowed her eyes."Ok. Ok. We're running from Fred and George."

"Why, may I ask?"

"They are on this binge on turning everyone's hair into glowing colors as well as hexing their victims to admit their deepest secret. Since they aren't underage anymore, the ministry won't stop them."

"And they won't come here? Have you ever thought of that? This is the first place they will look, you know?"

"Yeah, but you are in a muggle and not magical neighborhood and well, we also wanted to look at your summer homework." They looked at her sheepishly.

"Typical. Waiting the day before we have to leave for Hogwarts." Kelly put his arm around Hermione, quite amused. Hermione smiled at him. "Oh Harry, Ron. This is Kelly, my boyfriend. Kel, this is Ron and Harry-my best friends from school. Ron, why don't you bug Padma for the homework instead of me? She IS your girlfriend."

"She won't let me see it," he muttered.

"Gee, I wonder why," Hermione said sarcastically.

"Ravenclaws are TOO honest!"

"Um Ron-that's Hufflepuff."

"Whatever-she's acting like a Hufflepuff," Ron complained.

"Honestly!" Kelly burst into laughter. "Here-take it. That's the last time I'm helping you. Come on Kelly-I owe you a date."

"Mione! We can't go back now."

"No, I suppose you can't." She shrugged. "You can hide out here, but if the place gets hexed, mum will have your hide." She grinned as Kelly took her hand and led her out.
