Chapter 4 ~ Holidays Are Almost Over
Back at the Granger's house, Hermione was busily packing her trunk for yet another year at her favourite school, Hogwarts. She couldn't help but think that this year would be very different to her past 5 years at Hogwarts.
Mr and Mrs Granger came into Hermione's room when she'd almost finnished packing.
'Hermione, dear, will you be coming back for the holidays?'
'No, I think I'll stay at Hogwarts, but I'll be back for the summer holidays, so I'll see you both then.' Hermione told them, never looking up from her packing.
'Oh, alright then Hermione, I suppose it is your decision, we can't force you to come home or anything, so, alright.' Mrs Granger was close to tears. She was losing her baby.
That day, the last day of the holidays, went exceedingly quick, so fast, that Hermione was shocked that in a few hours she'd be on the Hogwarts Express with her friends, heading back to the gloomy, but beautiful castle.
Nightime fell over London, and Hermione sat at her desk looking out at the stars, wondering if they knew her secret. She finally shook herself out of her trance, and went to bed, her last night in the Granger's house for almost another year.
~***~
That morning was extremely busy at the Granger house. All three were running around, trying to get Hermione organised and to Kings Cross Station ontime. They had all overslept, and it was 10.30am before they got on the road.
Lucky Mr Granger could drive fast, or Hermione would have surely missed the Hogwarts Express. They made it to Kings Cross Station at 5 minutes to 11. Hermione dashed to Platforms 9 & 10, and, saying a rushed goodbye to the Grangers, and thanking them for a wonderfull summer, Hermione dashed through the barrier.
She looked around Platform 9 ¾. Apart from the large train, it was empty. Hermione rushed to get on the train, and made it just as it was leaving.
It took Hermione a good ten minutes to find her friends in a compartment. Ron and Harry were sitting in the end compartment looking out the window gloomily.
'Oh! Hermione! There you are! We thought you'd missed the train!' Harry said, spotting Hermione.
'Sorry guys, me and my parents had a bit of a sleep in.' Seeing the looks on the boy's faces, she added, 'By accident! We overslept by accident!' Hermione plonked down on the seat next to Ron. She felt somewhat closer to Ron now that Harry was her brother.
'Glad you could make it Hermione, it wouldn't be Hogwarts without you.' Ron said.
'Thanks Ron.'
'Anytime. Hey!' Ron called out to the witch with her food trolley. Between the three of them, they bought 20 chocolate frogs, 3 bags of Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans, 10 Pumpkin Pasties, and much more.
Another ½ an hour passed quickly, mainly due to the sweets that the three friends were eating. Time usually passed slowly for Hermione when she was around Harry, since she'd found out that she was her fraternal twin brother. Hermione wanted nothing more than to tell Harry that they were twins. But she didn't know what she would say, exactly, and the timing had to be perfect. Hermione was torn, confused. If she told Harry now, he'd be in too much shock after recent events (OotP), and if she left it too long, he'd be angry at her for not telling him as soon as possible, much like she was angry with her parents for not telling her she was adopted sooner. Hermione screamed inside her head, but smiled sweetly on the outside.
'Good hay Ron, we get to spend another year with Snape.' Harry said sarcastically.
'Well, actually Harry, if you were paying attention, you don't actually have to take Potions this year, and Snape probably won't accept you and Ron anyway. How many OWLS did you two get?' Hermione said, regaining her normal personality for show.
'I got eight.' Harry said. Hermione raised her eyebrows, maybe smarts ran in the family? (A/N - since I have no idea how many OWLS can be achieved in 5th year, I guessed 10)
'I got five.' Ron said grumpily. 'Better than Fred and George, but still lousy, mum was quite upset.' He put on a fake "Molly" voice, 'You could have gotten more than five OWLS, but no, you chose to get into mischeif and get less OWLS than you were capable of.' Ron finnished his immitation with a curtsey (Sp?). Hermione and Harry burst out laughing.
'So Harry, I heard you got Prefect?' Hermione stopped laughing.
'Yeah, I guess Dumbledore wanted me a Prefect after all.'
'That's really great Harry, I'm proud of you.' Hermione sniffled.
'Calm down Hermione, it's not that much of a big deal.' Harry said uncomfortably. Hermione buried her nose in a bag of Bertie Botts Every Flavoured Beans to keep herself from crying.
'So Harry, Hermione, do you two have to go to some prefect meeting or something like that?' Ron mumbled, mainly because he had a mouthfull of chocolate frog.
'Don't know. I assume that if we do need to be somewhere, another Prefect, or a Head will come and get us.' Harry answered, Hermione was still "looking for a bean that wouldn't taste awful".
Although Harry was now eager for there to be some union of Prefects and Heads on the Hogwarts Express, no such thing happened. By the time they'd reached the Hogwarts Castle, Harry was in a moochy mood.
'Do ya think they'd forgotten us Herm?' Harry nudged Hermione in the ribs.
'Owch! No Harry, I don't think they would have had a Prefect meeting without the two Gryffindor Prefects, do you?' Hermione hissed, as they made their way up to the Castle.
'Well guys,' Hermione said, walking between her best friends, and putting one arm around each of them, 'I don't know about you, but I'm glad to be back!' Ron and Harry looked weirded out, but Hermione just smiled. Man they'll be shocked when I tell 'em, Hermione thought to herself.
