(This takes place right before Harry's 6th year at Hogwarts is about to
start)
Harry had been with the Dursleys all summer. He hated it. It was so boring, but at least this year they didn't mind all the owls he had coming. Some were about how sorry people were about Sirius, others were from Ron and Hermione updating Harry on what was going on outside of Privet Dr. Ron, Hermione and Harry decided to meet at George and Fred's 3W shop, at 12, the Monday before school started.
Harry traveled to London and arrived at the twin's shop at 11:30. He decided he had a lot of time to shop around before going to the tables outside so he went in. He was amazed at all they had accomplished. The store was a fair size and the twins had created so many new items. He decided to get some ice cream that made you have hiccupping fits for 5 minutes. Seemed like the least harmful thing there to buy.
Harry looked at his watch. It was 12:05. The ice cream was melting but Harry didn't really care. He just wanted to see his friends again. Finally, he saw Hermione running down the street to the shop. Or at least, Harry thought it was Hermione. She had grown quite a bit, and looked a lot different. She had straightened her hair!
Out of breath, Hermione ran and said, "Hey Harry, I'm sorry I'm late, the floo network was a madhouse and I ended up a few streets over. I wouldn't be surprised if Ron was a little lost too."
"It's ok. No biggie... I'm just glad to see you," said Harry, (an awkward silence for a little,) "Well you certainly look a lot different! Not different in a bad way, trust me its good."
Hermione said, "Thanks, I thought I'd do a little experimenting. You're not looking too bad yourself."
"Do you want some ice cream?" said Harry.
Hermione said, "Thank you, I'm starved," and started to eat. With her mouth full, she said, "Oh, there's Ron," pointing to a person with soot all over his clothes and hair, and a rip in his shirt.
