A/N: I know, I know. I'm breaking my rule of only writing one-shots but
this just came to me last night just as I was about to go to sleep. I
really don't know where it's going to end up but I just hope that it goes
somewhere to begin with. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Well I do own some things, actually a lot of things, but none of them relate to the story.
Chapter 1- A Brand New Day
The sun shone brightly through the window, illuminating the room in a heavenly glow. Birds sang sweet songs and the morning air smelled like dew. The room was quite, except for a soft purring. On the end of the bed, an orange cat laid curled in a ball, sleeping quietly. It was a brand new day, and it was just about to begin for Hermione Granger.
"Good morning folks! Today's going to be a great day. Clear skies and warm weather ahead. So get up, get up, get up," a voice sounded in the room.
Hermione sat up in bed, pulled the sheets back, and turned off the radio. She stood up, stretched, and scratched her head. She looked around the room and noticed something wasn't right.
"Where's Crookshanks?" she thought to herself. She pulled back the covers and sure enough, there he was. Mind you, he wasn't looking too happy.
"Don't give me that look. Today's the first day of the new term. We get to go back to Hogwarts. I get to see Ron, Harry, and Ginny and you get to run around the grounds. Didn't you miss that over the summer?" she asked her cat. But he just rolled back over and went to sleep.
Hermione shrugged and went into the bathroom. She took a quick shower and then came back out to her room and got dressed. It took her awhile to decide, but eventually she chose her favorite pair of jeans and a light blue sweater. She put on her new pair of shoes and went down to breakfast.
When she got downstairs, a heavenly smell filled her nose. Bacon and coffee. Immediately she knew that her parents were awake. She walked into the kitchen and sure enough there they were. Her mother, with her pink apron on, was by the stove cooking some breakfast and her father, reading glasses on, was sitting at the table reading the newspaper and drinking his coffee. She walked over to her dad and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Good morning, Dad," she said to him.
"'Morning, love," he replied back. "How did you sleep?"
"Ok, except it was a little cold in my room," Hermione said.
"Yes, well your mother was trying to save energy so she turned off the heat at midnight last night. I thought she was mad. Don't tell her that though."
"She doesn't need to, I heard it myself," her mother said, coming over to give her one and only daughter a hug and kiss. "Good morning. Would you like some bacon and eggs?"
"Yes, mum, and some orange juice please," Hermione said.
"Sure thing, sweetie," her mother said as she rushed back to get her daughter her food. "You need all of your strength for today, darling. I can't believe your starting your sixth year at Hogwarts. You're growing up so fast. It just seems like yesterday you were in diapers, and here you are, almost 16, leaving us again."
"It's ok, mum. I'll come back over the holidays and see you. And summer isn't that far away. Really, mum, it'll be okay. You'll see," she reassured her mother.
"Yes, I know. I'm over reacting. Anyway, have you got everything packed? Did you double check to make sure you had enough socks and underwear? Did you pack you toothbrush?" her mother questioned her as she set her food in front of her.
"Yes, I double checked and then checked again. I'm all set. I have everything," Hermione said as she started eating her food.
"You'd better hurry up dear, you only have 15 minutes before we have to leave," her father said, checking his watch.
Hermione ate her food a little quicker and then went upstairs. She brushed her teeth, her hair, checked her trunk once more, put Crookshanks in his cage, and got her jacket. On the way downstairs she put her prefects pin in her pocket.
"Mum! Dad! I'm ready," she called into the kitchen.
Her parents came out of the kitchen and helped her take her things out to the car. On the way there, Hermione stared out the window, thinking of her friends. In a few minutes time she would get to see them, face to face.
Fifteen minutes later, the car came to a stop and they got out of the car. Hermione took Crookshanks while her dad took her trunk. They walked until they came to the barrier between platforms nine and ten. Hermione stopped and turned around to face her parents.
"Well, I guess I'll see you soon. If I forgot anything, and I'm sure I didn't, I'll owl you," she told them. "Ok," her mother said while moving in for a hug. Hermione put Crookshanks' cage down and hugged her mother. After a couple moments her mom wouldn't let go.
"Mum, I have to go. I'll miss the train," she said as she pulled out of the hug. She looked at the clock and only saw that she had five minutes. "'Bye, Dad. Sorry I can't hug you or anything but I really have to go. I can't be late. I love you."
"I love you to, Hermione. Have a great year. See you at Christmas," her father said to her.
With one last look at her parent, Hermione picked up the cage and trunk and walked through the barrier to Platform 9 ¾. She was ready to start this new year, accepting every thing that came her way.
A/N: Well? Was it good? Will you review? I just want to know if I should keep going with it or not. By the way, does any one know how to do bold and italics? I might need them later in the story.
Review please!!
