Chapter 1

It's Only the Beginning

Why can't school be year round? I mean summer just began, and already I miss school. At least I have a family that cares about me. Poor Harry. Better take a shower, then I can practice some spells, I am legal. I also have an appointment for my apparition test.

Hermione got up, and walked to her large bathroom. She got in her shower, and closed the door. She got washed quickly.

When she came out she put on her robe, and dried her hair with a little spell. She walked to her closet.

She, Hermione Granger, had finally grown up. Not just her maturity. Merlin knows she was always mature. Her looks finally also blossomed. Her hair now had a slightly spring to it. She had all the things that made her 'wanted' with guys.

She picked out a nice sleeveless shirt with little warrior turtles. She then picked out a short camo skirt with a shell belt that went to her knees, and black flip-flops. She magically put green streaks in her hair, and put it up in pig tails.



She left her room to go down stairs. She walked into the kitchen, "Geoffrey?" She called.

"Yes mistress Granger?" Asked her butler. She smiled curtly at him.

"I was wondering if you could make me some breakfast. Where are mum and dad?" She asked curiously.

"Mistress and Master Grangers are unavailable currently. What would you like?" He asked her.

"Three scrambled eggs, you know what I like in them, some sausages, and a cappuccino would be great. Thanks." She said going into the breakfast room.

She suddenly wondered about her life. She was indeed a Muggleborn. Her parents were accomplished dentists. They had as much money as the Malfoys, if not more.

She looked at the time. It was almost noon. She had her test at three. Geoffrey placed her breakfast in front of her. She thanked him, and ate quickly.

Soon it was approaching three. She stepped to the fireplace. She had her house connected by floo for the order. "Department Of Magical Transportation." She said clearly.

With a whirl she felt herself becoming increasingly sick. She landed with a thump at her destination.

She walked to the front desk, and sign in. After about half an hour's wait she was called.

She walked in to a hallway like room. A man in his twenties greeted her.

"Travis Hammocks," He started sticking out his hand to her. "I will be your test administrator for today.."

"Pleased to meet you, Mr. Hammocks." She said accepting his hand.

She apperated to her house excitedly. She held her new found license in her purse. She looked at the clock. It was approaching five.

An idea then struck Hermione. Harry was also legal. The Dursleys wouldn't know what hit them. Two full grown wizards in their house.

She apperated to Harry's room. Surprisingly he was working on his homework. He spun around, his mouth hanging open.

"Hermione. You look fantastic, but what are you doing here?" He asked her a little surprised.

"Harry we're legal. The Dursleys won't know what hit them. How about a little 'magic' to spice up their lives? They know about magic so it's not against the law." She said smiling with an evil glint in her eyes.

Harry looked daunted upon his friend, and nodded. He got out his wand. They locked him inside, so he simply used an unlocking spell.

Hermione, and Harry stormed downstairs where the Dursleys appeared to be having a quiet meal.

"Trout? How about making it a little more lively? Wouldn't you think? Hermione?" He asked her holding his wand tightly.

They looked frightened. Dudley looked at Hermione, and smiled. She looked disgusted as his eyes raked her body.

"Harry, he's looking at me. We should do something about that." She said pulling out her own wand.

"Of course. So Duddykins, are you looking at Hermione? Pupilles Tralamax!" Harry said waving his wand towards Dudley.

Hermione burst into laughter when his eye balls popped out, and started a tap dance on the table. Harry also soon doubled over laughing. Harry then returned them in the rightful place.

"You bastard!" Dudley yelled at him a little less fearful.

"I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?" Harry asked innocently keeping a straight face.

"No, Harry watch. I learned this in N.E.W.T Charms. Leviollus Tranditus!" She said at Mr. Dursley. All his hair on his body disappeared, including eyebrows and such.

Harry doubled over laughing. She reversed it.

"Boy, you are still mine until you are eighteen, and you will be kicked out of that school of yours!" He said his face becoming a shade of violet.

"We're legal. Seventeen is legal in the WIZARDING WORLD!" He said screaming the last part. Hermione had winked at him to do that. She had put magical boundaries so that the entire house was soundproof.

"Shut up, boy!" Mrs. Dursley said looking around expecting to see news crews.

"Harry remember last year in N.E.W.T Transfiguration when we practiced turning one another body parts into that of animals?" She said smiling a friendly smiling at the now horrified family before her.

Harry returned the smile, "Yeah, remember what Ron did to Seamus?" He asked her smiling.

"You mean this?" She asked waving her wand at Mrs. Dursley. She suddenly became somewhat like a centaur. She started crying. Dudley seemed impressed.

"That's it. Did you remember to cast a videotaping charm on your wand? We'll have to show this to Ron." He said turning his Aunt back to normal.

She nodded. She cast a spell to pack all of his luggage, and cast another to bring it downstairs. She received a nod when she asked whether he had gotten his license. "My house then."

"Hermione!" He yelled as soon as she vanished. She popped up again a second later. "I don't know where your house is."

"Oh silly me. Here." She said grabbing on to him. Together they apperated to her own house.

"That was great, and your house is incredible, but I shouldn't stay here." He said.

Besides her protest, he left to the Leaky Cauldron. She sighed. At least she had gotten a nice video tape, and reminded Harry to get out of the hell hole.

She apperated to her room, and fell on her bed, Today was a long day, and she was tired.



What time is it? It's midnight. Damn, I'm hungry. What are mum and dad doing up?

"Hermione sweetie?" She heard her father say. She nodded to him.

"We have some news," Her mother said. "You're Pureblood."
