Dear Readers: I know it's been a really long long long (have I said long yet?) time since I've updated any of my ff, but I finally worked out a new story. Just to let you know, this will be a little less adult and a different plot so if you've liked my other ff, you may not like this one (?????) It's written in Hermione's perspective and sometimes in the other characters, but I'll tell you at the beginning of the chapter. Please don't flame me! I won't stop and you should know that! If you don't like it, don't read it! THANX AND NOW THE BEGINNING!

HERMIONE~

I re-read the letter again. It was from my friend in Siberia.

Deer Hermione,
I kno we hav ben frendz for a long time, but I think we shoud not rite to eachother animor. I am sory, but it must b hardr on you than I can imagin. Thanc you for when we wer frends.

Albereto

P.S.~ sa hello to Harry pleaz.

I sighed. I knew it was going to happen. Albereto and I had been pen pals for about 7 years, and trust me; his English has improved a lot. As much as it pains me, but I know it's for the best. Albereto and me have been distant lately. So without o much as another thought, I threw the parchment into the fire. I looked at my books on the truck at the foot of my bed. I picked up the Book of Standard Magical Spells: Grade 6. I had just gone to Diagon Alley yesterday, so all I needed to do was pack everything. I put the book down and went over to my closet. In it, un-opened, was the box with my Prefects badge. I was glad that I was chosen, but I wish Harry was one too, but Ron got the other spot. 'Well. At least I'm a prefect.' I thought.

I walked over to the mirror on my dresser. A lot had changed since the end of the year. First of all, I looked totally different. Finally, my mama let me die my hair; I now have blondish hair with black and red streaks. It's not so puffy anymore, and I look a lot better with makeup on. Right now I have on mascara and purple eyeliner with a green eye shadow and pink lips. I have grown a lot too. I now am 5' 9", almost as tall as Harry. I've also grown in other places, (curves**ahem**). When I told Harry about my new look, he wrote back, but he felt very distant. I know not to pressure him, because his only hope to get away from his damn Uncle and Aunt's house was Sirius, but now he's gone.

I'll never forget that day. I seemed like Harry's soul had left his body.
