A/N: I haven't written one in awhile so it might be rusty at first

Chapter 1: Nightmares At three A.M Hermione Granger woke up from a nightmare. Hermione was a medium heighted girl with bushy brown hair and brown eyes. What many people didn't know (oh, those clueless Muggles) was that Hermione Granger was a witch, and an amazing one at that. She had top marks at her Witchcraft and Wizarding School, Hogwarts, and she also loved school very much. If not too much. It was the summer before her third year and rumors were flying everywhere about an escaped Prisoner from Azkaban, Sirius Black. Mione got chills whenever she thought about him but surprisingly he was not featured in her nightmare.

Hermione shivered just thinking about it. She remembered how it felt in her dream. She was spinning, and spinning until she drop from dizzyiness and then suddenly long vines entangled her and choked her until she could scarcely breathe. When she woke up she was drenched in cold sweat and there was an eerie feeling in the air. Silently telling herself to forget about the dream she tried to fall asleep. But minutes later she put on a cotton bathrobe over her nightgown and slipped downstairs. She made herself hot cocoa to warm herself up and then she fetched her quill and parchment. She felt like writing to someone and there was probably only one of her friends who was up at this time of night.

Dear Harry,

How are you doing at the Dursley's? If it gets too bad don't do any thing stupid, Harry, like that flying car. Just write to Ron and ask him to invite you over. I hope the Muggles let you do your homework. Imagine how much trouble you would be in if you didn't. By the way Happy Birthday! Enclosed is a gift for you and I hope you like it. Please try and send letter by Hedwig if you can sneak it past the Muggles.

Love, Hermione

After rereading it she felt like ripping it up. She never knew what to say when it came to Harry and she usually ended up sounding like some bossy know-it-all. But she tucked the letter and gave it to an owl along with her package. She sighed watching the owl fly away an when she could no longer see it, she sighed and marched back up to bed.

Pov Hermione

Over the next few days things started happening. Harry had inflated his Aunt Marge and was now living in a room of the Leaky Caldron, Ron was in Egypt, and I myself finished vacationing in France and decided to go to Diagon Alley to buy my school stuff and of course stop by to visit Harry. I was a little nervous about the latter but I wondered what caused it. I have known Harry since fourth year and we have been great friends. Nothing has changed so why was I worried? Maybe I was nervous he didn't want to be friends with me anymore. At Diagon Alley I met with one of the girls in my class Lavender Brown. Just last year Lavender and I became better friends and I almost consider her part of the threesome.

"Hey Mione! Guess who I saw," Lavender chirped.

"Who?"

"Harry and Ron. Ron just got back from Egypt and Harry was here before. I think they are at Flourish and Blots. Ron is dreadfully handsome now, at least I think so. Come on let's go meet them,"

I couldn't see Ron being 'dreadfully handsome' at all. I always did think Lavender fancied him. They were at Flourish and Blots and Lavender and I greeted them.

"Hullo you two," I said smiling at both of them. I was right. Ron was still sort of lanky and all. He was already making faces at my new pet cat Crookshanks and hiding his pet rat Scabbers. "Harry did you really you know...."

"Blow up (by that he didn't mean explode) my Aunt? Yes I did," he said with a grin on his face. We continued to talk, the four of us. When we departed I couldn't get Harry out of my mind. There was something different about him and I had yet to figure it out.

Well that's it 4 now but I will right more soon. Plz r/r. I love you all!
