Disclaimer: Of course I don't own Harry Potter and Company. They all belong to the wonderful and amazing J.K. Rowling. Being as you are reading this, I assume you already knew that. :P I own nothing but the plot!!
A/N: I am sorry, I know it starts out a little slow. But I can almost guarantee that it will get better soon. I am trying to keep the characters from becoming to OOC. If I fail miserably I am sure you will all let me know. I hope you enjoy!!! Please R&R.
Thanks!!!!!!:X

Chapter 1: A new look!
Hermione stepped out of her parents 2001, white Mini Cooper onto King's Cross station in London. The sun was warm as the cool autumn breeze blew across her face. This was the last time she would be coming to King's Cross as a student and she was determined to make it count. Over the summer break she had received her official letter telling her that she had become Head Girl. She was ecstatic, and knowing that one of her two best friends was sure to be Head Boy made it all the better. Over the entirety of break she hadn't talked to Ron or Harry. She had accumulated dozens of owls from both of them, but never had a chance to write back. With all that had happen to her over the summer she hoped they would understand.
"Hermione, dear, must you bring all this?" Mrs. Granger asked as she unloaded the many trunks and bags from the trunk of the car.
"Mum, I only brought that I need" Hermione laughed as she opened the passenger rear door allowing a ball of orange fur to jump into her arms. Crookshank purred loudly as she rubbed her head under Hermione's chin.
"Yes, well, it quite a bit more then you have brought any of the other years." Mrs. Granger said as she wheeled the cart containing Hermione's things over to her. "Are you sure that your new hobby is allowed at school?"
"Yes, mum"
"Well, off you go then. You have 5 minutes before your train leaves" Mrs. Granger hugged her daughter.
"Love you mum" Hermione returned her embrace, holding Crookshank under her arm
"Be sure to tell dad that I love him" she said as she pulled away.
"I will. Don't forget to owl us and tell us about your head duties."
"I will." Hermione said as she set Crookshank on her cart and began pushing it towards platform 9 3/4.
Hermione weaved in and out of people going to and from the train as she walked to the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. Once on the other side of the barrier Hermione handed her cart off to a gentleman so it could be loaded onto the Hogwarts Express. Taking Crookshank up into her arms, she sighed deeply, then boarded the train.
Hermione walked down the aisle, peering into the compartments trying to find the one that contained her best friends. It didn't take long, considering they were in the same one that they has occupied the year before. Hermione laughed to herself as she pulled open the compartment door. Crookshank immediately jumped from her arms and made herself comfortable on the seat next to Ron. Everyones gaze turned to the door.
Ginny was the first to react as she jumped up and ran towards Hermione. "Great Merlin, 'Mione, you look amazing" Ginny said as she wrapped her arms around her friend.
"As do you" Hermione laughed
"Look at your hair, its so long... and the color...." Ginny said as she ran her hand through Hermione's waist length, straight, light brown hair, which a week earlier she had put blonde highlights in.
Hermione glanced over Ginny's shoulder and at her two best friends, who's jaws hung at about the same level as the ground on which she stood. Walking around Ginny she took a seat next to Harry.
"Wow..."Mione" was about all Harry could muster as Ginny took a seat next to Ron. Hermione laughed as she hugged Harry.
After pulling apart she turned to Ron who's jaw was attempting to mouth words but no sound came out. Ginny took this opportunity to smack Ron forcefully on the back, "Are you alright?" Ginny asked
"What in blood hell did you do to yourself?" Ron demanded
"Its good to see you too, Ron!" Hermione was a little taken aback
Ginny slugged him in the arm.
"What?!" Ron asked. His ear length red hair fell into his face and he ran his hand through it sweeping it back.
"your a git, Ron. I think you look beautiful 'Mione" Ginny said.
"Thank you Ginny" Hermione gave her a warm smile. "So....." she said turning in her seat to face Harry "Which of you two made Head Boy?"
Harry turned and looked at Ron who's eyes were darting back and forth between Harry and Hermione.
"Hermione, neither of us are Head Boy." Harry stated.
"You have to be...." Hermione began digging into her purse and pulled out a small cloth containing something. She carefully unwrapped the cloth reveling her head badge. "I'm Head Girl. That means that one of you has to be Head Boy"
"'Mione, thats great!" Ginny exclaimed taking the badge out of Hermione's hand so she could examine it more closely. "But neither of them made head boy" Ginny told her.
"What?" Hermione said looking at her two friends "How could this happen after all the times that I have helped you?" Hermione wondered aloud "Do you know who is Head Boy then?"
Ron and Harry both shook their heads.
Hermione sighed and threw herself back in the seat. Things weren't going at all like she wanted.
"Why did you not return any of my owls?" Ginny asked
"Oh, I am so sorry guys. So much has happened over the summer. I intended to write but.... I was so busy. please forgive me." Hermione pleaded
"Of course we forgive you. We just missed you is all." Ginny assured her
"So what is it that you were so busy with over the summer?" Ron finally spoke in a concerned tone.
"Well, believe it or not, two of my friends from back home and I started a band." Hermione smiled sweetly
"A band?" Harry looked at Hermione with confusion
"Yes, a band." Hermione laughed
"What kind of band?" Harry asked
"Well, we haven't exactly found our sound just yet. It just a hobby" Hermione shrugged.
"What do you play?" Ginny asked attentively
"After our 3rd year I decided to learn the guitar..."
"The what?" Ron asked.
"Its an instrument with 6 strings...." Ron and Ginny both looked confused "I'll show you when we get to school." Hermione laughed "My friend Emma plays the drums and Ana plays the bass guitar and sings back up vocal. So over the summer i spend all my free time practicing. I am truly sorry for not responding to your owls."
"Its okay, 'Mione... I'm glad you are here now" Harry said
Hermione beamed at her friends. They were the greatest and she missed them so much over the summer. "Me too" Hermione said happily
The rest of the train ride was spent talking about old times and what it was the Ron, Harry and Ginny had done over the summer.

A/N: I hope you liked it. More will be up shortly. And FYI the girl Emma that is in Hermione's band, isn't meant to be Emma Watson, the actor who plays her (even though I really ADORE her) I couldn't think of anyone to be in her band so I used my cats name which is Emma!!! ( I know its lame but I just didn't want you to think that it was Emma Watson)
