Chapter Three:
Harry and Hermione, were still riding on the broom fifteen minutes later..Hermione was scared to death..She was afraid that Harry would crash into something, It also felt like a knife was being jabbed into her side..Harry on the other hand was enjoying the ride, especially when he saw The Burrow, he saw lights coming from the one small window on the side of The Burrow...For some reason, this made Harry think of one time, right before 2nd years started, when he desperately needed to get away from the Dursley household..Ron, Fred and George came to the rescue, after Harry sent a letter to the, driving, well actually flying, there Father, Arthur Weasley's car...It was a fun ride, but Arthur wasn't that happy...
In his daze, Harry didn't notice that he was coming, at full speed, very close to the side wall of the burrow..Hermione noticed this and started to scream..When Harry finally came back from his thoughts..It was too late..They crashed into the wall..When they hit, there was a loud SNAP!..Harry knew what it was too..He knew his broom had broken on impact..Other than that, Hermione and Harry both flew back when they hit, only to be saved by a tree..Which still was very painful.
The Weasleys, who were in The Burrow: Molly, Arthur, Ron and Ginny, were sitting by their small fireplace talking, when they heard the crash..Arthur and Molly, telling Ron and Ginny to stay in, went outside to see what had happened..The first thing they saw was Harry's broken broomstick, then Harry and Hermione slowly walking towards The Burrow..Molly sighed in relief, as the two made there way to them.
"Darlings! What are you doing here?" Molly exclaimed
"Oh..um..We just wanted to drop in and say 'Hello'" Hermione said
"Well, come inside..I need to check to see if you have any injuries from that crash..How did it happen anyway's?" Arthur asked
"He wasn't paying any attention to where he was going" Hermione said, pushing Harry
"No..I was in a daze..Thinking" Harry said
When they arrived in The Burrow, the first thing they saw was Ginny and Ron..Ginny's face lit up when she saw Hermione, who was one of her best friends..Hermione noticed that Ginny had gotten a lot taller in the last month, and her red hair had gotten a lot longer..Ron on the other hand, looked almost exactly the same..She welcomed both of their hugs..Harry got hugs too...After the "reunion" Molly, made Harry and Hermione go into the Den to be checked up...Harry went first, because he saw the look on Hermione's face..She did not want Molly to check her up..But, knew the time was going to come.
"Ok, Harry..You seem ok..Just some bruises and cuts..So, Hermione now I have to check you" Molly said. Hermione gulped, turning practically white.
"Dear..Are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost" Molly asked
"I'm ok..Let's just get this over with" Hermione said, sighing
"Ok..Just tell me if you hurt anywhere" Molly said
"I will" Hermione said
Molly first checked her legs, arms and back, which only had some cuts, scratches and bruises...When Molly got to Hermione's stomach..She looked on her side..When she saw it bruised, she jumped back a little.
"Honey..How did you get that?" Molly asked
"That..I don't know..Must of been the tree" Hermione said
"Ok..Does this hurt?" Molly asked, pressing her fingers where the bruise was..Hermione let out a scream, which ade Ron, Harry and Ginny run into the room.
"Damn it! Yes, It does" Hermione shrieked
"I'm afraid, you have a few broken ribs..I'll have to put something around that, so it can heal" Molly said
"Ok" Hermione said, quietly
Molly put a bandage around Hermione's stomach, while everyone watched..Wondering what had really happened, because they knew the tree outside could do that..Well, except Harry, who knew what had happened. When they were done, everyone went by the fireplace and were about to talk..When, an owl, flew in through the one open window, to Hermione..She looked to see it had brought her an letter..She slowly opened in, and was happily surprised by what she read.
Dear Ms. Hermione Granger,
I am pleased to say that you have been named: Head Girl, for this coming school year. As you already know, Head Girl had many responsibility's..Which we will not have to go over right now.

I am again congratulating you..And I am looking forward to you arrival this school year.

Hermione laughed, smiling widely...Everyone looked at her strangely for a second, before she spoke.
"I got Head Girl!" Hermione shrieked
"Are you serious?" Ginny asked
"Yeah..Read it" Hermione said, handing Ginny the letter, which she read quickly.
"She did! She's Head Girl!" Ginny said, hugging Hermione
"But, guess who's Head Boy" Hermione said
"You don't have to guess..Malfoy" Ron said, disgustedly
"You go it, right..I don't know how I'm going to deal with that arrogant, twit all year around" Hermione said, laying on the floor
"Don't worry, Mione..We'll keep your back" Ron said
"I know you guys will" Hermione said "I think I'm going to write Lavender, Parvati and Padma"
Hermione went into the Den and got out some of Arthur's stationary..She decided that she was going to write Padma and Parvati first..She grabbed a pen and started to write:
Dear Padma and Parvati,
Hey..It's been at least a month since I last wrote to you..And today a lot had happened so, I decided to write you..
Well, first and foremost, I MADE HEAD GIRL!!!!! Isn't that cool (Cool is a word muggles use)?? The only bad thing about that is, Draco Malofy is Head Boy...I guess I can handle It..It's just, I am getting sick and tired of him calling me a "mudblood"...
There is one other thing that happened today..I need to trust you with this secret..Ok, Here I go..I'm not a Granger...I'm adopted..My so-called Dad, was drunk last night and told me the truth..So, please don't tell anyone, I beg you guys...
That is all that had happened today or so far this summer vacation...I'm going to leave you guys now..So, write back..I miss you two so much!!!
Love, Hermione
Hermione sealed the letter in a envelope and sent it off with her owl..She went went back to talk with Harry and the Weasley's..She knew at least some of her day had been good.
