Chapter 4- A Train to a wizard school?
Hermione woke up the next morning, lying on top of her bed covers in the clothes she had been wearing the day before.
"Shit!" she said, getting up and looking into the mirror at her make-up- encrusted face. "Did I go out like this yesterday?" she asked her mirror. Not really expecting an answer.
"Not sure dearie!" came its reply
Hermione jumped back startled at first, it was too early to deal with talking mirrors. She picked up all the clean clothes at the end of her bed and put them into her trunk that she was taking to hogwarts on top of all her necessities that her mother had already packed for her.
She grabbed a cute pair of faded jeans and a clean pink halter-top before she ran out into the hall and into her bathroom.
After she'd showered and washed the day-old make-up off her face. She pulled on her clothes and went downstairs to have breakfast.
She walked into the kitchen to the smell of frying bacon!
"Hey mum!" she said as she kissed her mother on the cheek and helped herself to a glass of orange juice.
She sat down at the breakfast bar and her mum handed her a plate with toast, 2 fried eggs, 3 rashes of bacon and a grilled tomato on it. As she ate through the huge plate of food, her mum explained to her what they would be doing that day.
Hermione still didn't understand why she would catch a train to a wizard school, but she'd told her mother that already so she kept her mouth shut.
"Here, your father wrote you a note because he had to go into work early this morning!" said her mother as she put her newspaper down and pushed a piece of paper across the bench to her daughter.
"Thanks!" she replied as she picked up the piece of paper.
[It read:] Dearest Hermione, I'm sorry that I couldn't be there today to see you off on your first day at your new school but I was desperately needed at work. I hope everything goes smoothly and I will see you at Christmas time. Work hard and behave, I love you. Love, Dad!
She rolled her eyes and stood up to put her plate and glass into the sink.
"Thanks for breakfast Mum!" she said as she walked out of the kitchen to make sure everything was packed in her trunk.
When she got up to her room she saw that her owl, Ophelia, was sitting on her windowsill.
"Good timing girl!" she said as she stroked her snowy owl and took the letter off of its leg.
It was the same letter her mother had just given her from her father; he obviously didn't believe that she would be competent enough to give her a letter. She laughed as she folded up the letter and put it in her drawer.
She picked up the last of her things and then levitated her trunk downstairs.
They were meeting the deputy principal at the train station and portkey-ing from there to the station in Hogsmeade, as it was the day before the students usually arrive at school.
She was going to be tested and sorted and have an interview with the headmaster, and then get settled in.
**************************************************************************** **
They waited at platform 9 ¾, which was completely deserted until finally a tall lady with a stern expression on her face walked up to them.
"Hello Mrs. Granger, Miss Granger Lovely to meet you! Are we ready to go then?" she asked, taking Hermione's trunk and shrinking it down before popping it into her pocket.
Hermione kissed her teary-eyed mother goodbye before she put her hand onto the empty can her teacher was holding and felt a strange tugging behind her bellybutton.
Soon she found herself standing at a large railway station full of witches and wizards in robes of all colours.
"Is this Hogsmeade?" Hermione gasped as she looked around.
"Yes it is dear, but hurry along now because we have lots to do. We need to get up to the castle." Said the deputy headmistress.
They walked and walked, Professor McGonagall explaining along the way that they are usually taken by carriage or boat to the castle and finally Hermione got her first glimpse of Hogwarts!

That chapter was really crappy but I had to get it out of the way, now I can finally get onto the real plot! This story had a lot of leading in stuff! I hate that!
