Remembering The Last year .

   Later that night after Ron and Ginny left and the kids were in bed Hermione sat in the living room tracing the H on her hand.

         "I miss you Harry. I really do. I miss your laugh. I miss the way you and Ron would fight over what trouble you wanted us to get into at night. I miss the way only you called me Mae. I most of all miss the way when you were around I felt safe. I wish that I could have protected you the night you saved all the Wizarding World." Hermione said to the large picture of Harry Potter on her mantle. It was 10:00 and Hermione was tired. More tired then the day after Harry had died. As her eyes drifted shut, she saw the picture of the Golden Trio taken the day they started their 7th year taken by Remus Lupin, one of Harry's parents' best friends and their DADA teacher that year. Again. She fell asleep on the couch and started to remember.

^*^

Four years ago.

Hermione Granger was running late. And she never was late to get to King's Cross to get on the Hogwarts Express. It was her last first day of school. She couldn't believe that exactly seven years ago she would be knocking on Harry and Ron's train compartment door looking for a toad.

         Has any of you seen a toad? Neville has lost one... My name is Hermione Granger… I've read all about you of course… You haven't been fighting have you? ... You've got dirt on your nose did you know right there… I'm going to bed before either of you think of another intelligent idea to get us killed or worse expelled… stop moving its Devil's Snare… you're a great wizard Harry… Hermione smiled to herself. Ah those were the days when all she could do was try to not get into trouble with her best friends.

         "Hermione Mae Granger hurry your butt up and let's go." Her father yelled up the stairs. She looked once around the round the room and waved her wand. All the extra stuff she had forgotten flew into her trunk. Running down the stair trunk behind her she flew out the door and into the car.

*~*

She ran thru the barrier at 10:30 right into the last person she thought she would see or would want to see.

         "Malfoy?" she asked stunned to see Harry's worst enemy. OH MY MERLIN! Three months of not seeing him was a blessing, but he has gotten hot. She thought to herself.

         "That's my name Granger, don't wear it out or you might have to buy me a new one… Oh wait a moment you can't afford it. Would you watch where you are going? I don't feel like getting touched by a Mudblood today. Besides I don't want to have to burn my clothes I rather like them." He replied smirking. She just walked away. Ass Wipe. She thought walking down the platform.

         "Hermione Granger! Get your cute little body over here and give me a hug." It was a tall messy black haired boy with glasses and scar in the shape of a lightning bolt.

         "Harry! Oh Merlin it's so good to see you. Where's Ron?" she said hugging her best friend.

         "Dunno haven't seen him yet. Come on Herm, let's get our compartment. I don't want it to be occupied." Harry said pulling her toward the train.

         "Harry? What in all that is magical is going on?"

         "What makes you think that whenever I pull you somewhere I am up to something? Besides Mione, Ron is on the train so hurry up… I think?"

         "Harry, I have good news and I have bad news. And maybe one more piece of bad news." Hermione said nervously.

         "Hmm what do I want first… give me the good news. Then the bad news." Harry scratched his chin smiling evilly with a hint of jesting. (Oh I love that old word Jest, my new favorite word)

         "I made Head Girl. Malfoy is head boy and I have to live with him for the year."

            Oh congrats Mione, I always knew that you would become head girl. But Malfoy? Head Boy? Merlin help us all. Gryffindors are going to have a rough year."

         "Who is going to have a rough year, Harry?" A tall lanky redheaded boy peeked his head around the corner of a compartment.

         "RONNIE! Did you grow again? My God you are taller than me by at least 2 feet." Hermione ran to her other best friend and boyfriend. Yes Ron was her boyfriend but unbeknown to her he was cheating on her with Luna Lovegood, another friend. (Yes I know I am evil but hey I told you in another story to beware of my twisted mind. So get over it! J It's all part of my story. Trust me *gets an evil look in her eye*).

         "Nah, Mione you are just short. Hi." He grinned as she swatted him in the shoulder.

         "Ron, how many times do I tell you not to tease Mione about her height, you can get seriously hurt. Besides she isn't that short. She is just shrinking… OW!" Harry said receiving a smack on his chest from Hermione. They laughed.

         "Listen guys as much as you like to tease me about my height I have to go and attend my first official Head Meeting with the Ferret Boy. Not that I will enjoy that but it is all part of being Head Girl. So I will smell you all in a while… and behave. That way Ron you just might get a little action later… I did say maybe." She smirked as she walked out of the compartment enjoying Harry and Ron's expressions as she left to attend the meeting. She could hear Harry laughing at Ron. Ah to be back with friends. She thought as she went into the changing room to get into her robes. She wasn't alone.

         "Granger do you mind… I am trying to change." Malfoy again.

         "Well excuuuuuuuusssssse me. I didn't know that Draco Malfoy owned the public changing room. Might as well get used to it Malfoy as I am Head Girl. I hate to break it to you Ferret Boy, but you will have to get used to me because we will be spending a whole lot more time together. See you in the Head Compartment for our meeting."

         "Granger don't…don't call me Ferret Boy…please?" Hermione turned around looking shocked.

         "Ho ho did The Great and Mighty Malfoy just say please? Praise Merlin it's a magical miracle."

         "Bite me Granger."

         "I would but Pansy would get jealous. Besides I don't want to taste a pureblood it would be soo nasty."

         "You are a cocky little shit aren't you?"

         "Yep and you better get use to it. Come on let's get this over with I want to get back to my friends."

         "Hey Granger…"

         "Yes?"
         "If you ever tell anyone that I said please I will have to kill you."
         "And is that a promise or a threat."

         "Both."

They went to attend the meeting.

*~*

Three hours later Hermione was walking back to the compartment when she saw a letter on the floor. She picked it up and read it.

          Darling,

          I loved that you came to see me this summer. It was so nice of you. What a surprise to see you standing at my door. That night was magical. Literally. Too bad that it had to be cut short when my father had to come home at the time he did, Meet me tonight after the feast in the Astronomy Tower. You know the one I am talking about. I know that your girlfriend will probably want to spend the time with you but try to make it.

                                                  Always yours in love,

                                                            Me

Hermione stared at the letter. So this guy was cheating on his girlfriend. That poor girl. If Ron ever did that to her she would kill him and the other girl.

         "Hello Hermione." Said a silky voice that could only be one person.

         "Luna Louise Lovegood, why is it that you have to scare me every time you see me?"

         "I don't mean too it just happens. I was on my way to see Harry and Ronald. Where did you get that letter?"

         "Oh I found it on the floor. Just now in fact. Why is it yours?"

         "Yes. Yes it is can I have it back? Please?"

          "Here take it Luna. I didn't want it. You know if that guy's girlfriend ever found out you just might be killed? Do I know this guy?"

         "Actually he's a Gryffindor. However he is a 6th year." Luna lied quickly.

         "Oh really, Hmm I don't know any sixth years except Colin and Ginny. Oh well we will be at the castle in an hour."

         "Ok let's go."

 Harry peeked his head out of the compartment.

         Coming Mione? Hi Luna. Are you ladies hungry?"

         Hermione grinned. "Harry, knowing Ron and you, you ate everything that you bought leaving me not one speck of food so I will go and get me something. Kay?" She laughed. "Be right back. Luna are you hungry?"

         "Nope I'll stay here with Harry and Ronald." Luna sat next to Ron who was sleeping. The moment Hermione left Luna poked Ron in the shoulder.

         "Wake up she went to get something to…Hi Ron."

         "Hey baby… Harry tell Mione this and I will never talk to you again. Hey baby what's up?"

         "The sky you ding bat now kiss me. Oh and here you dropped this. Hermione found it. And well she told me that if you ever cheated on her she would kill you and me. I am not scared though she will never find out." Luna kissed Ron and handed him the letter. Ron smiled but then frowned.

         "SHE found it? Luna what did you tell her?"

         "Part of the truth. That the guy was a Gryffindor but a sixth year. So she will never suspect you." She kissed him.

         "Harry will you please keep a look out for Mione? Please Harry I will be in your debt till the day I die." He kissed Luna again.

         "That might be sooner than you think Ron cause here she comes." Harry said as Luna and Ron broke apart. Ron sat next to the window and Harry sat next to Luna. Hermione bounced in and sat on Ron's lap.

         "H-hi Mione. What's shaken?

         "What the hell Ron do you mean when you say what's shaken? You sound like an American when you say that. I am jus soo excited to start my final year… I know I sound like an idiot when I say that but hey leave me alone."

         Attention All students we have arrived at Hogwarts. Please leave all pets and baggage in the train someone will take to the school for you.  Again all students the train has arrived to its final destination.

Harry, Hermione, Ron and Luna got off the train and started up to the  carriages that would take them to Hogwarts.

A/n I know I know the ending sucked but I will do better next time.
