Being friends with Harry Potter had taught her to be prepared with extra sources of knowledge before coming back for the new school year. You never knew when you'd need to research for some clues in the mystery of the year.
"Mum, I'll put these in the kitchen." Hermione called to her mother as she headed down the stairs. Coming back up to her room to help with the trunk, she asked, "Will you please send me one a day until I have them all?"
"Of course we will, darling!" Her mother exclaimed, giving her daughter a hug.
"Thanks, Mum. You know how heavy my trunk can get!" Hermione joked. "Mum?" She asked when her mother got that far-away look.
"Sorry, sweetheart, I just can't believe you're going to be turning 18!" Mrs. Granger sobbed. "I'll miss my baby!"
"Mum, it's alright." Hermione soothed. "I'll keep in touch after Hogwarts!"
"I know, but it's not the same… But, if I don't stop being emotional and get you and your trunk in the car, you'll be late, and your father will honk the car horn to death!"
The two laughed as they hauled the trunk into the back of the car. Crookshanks meowed inside of his basket at the disturbance of his slumber.
At King's Cross, Hermione hugged her father and mother good-bye. "Oh, Hermione?" Her father said. "Make sure you don't go fall in love with someone tall, dark, and handsome before you come back during Easter break!" he joked, receiving a slap from his wife. "What?" He faked innocence.
Mrs. Granger glared, and he said, "Oh, fine. Hermione, fall in love with whoever you please, as long as he doesn't take you away from me!"
"Dad!" Hermione laughed. "You know I'm not going to do anything to mess up my education!"
"Right, love, I know." He hugged her one last time. "Keep in touch!" Mr. And Mrs. Granger said together.
"Bye Mum, dad." Hermione nodded to each, and casually leaned against the barrier between platforms 9 and 10.
Being Head Girl, Hermione was required to sit up front with the Head Boy. She got Crookshanks out of his basket, and told him he could stay out as long as he was good and stayed in the compartment. After changing into her school robes, she went back to the compartment to pin on her Head Girl badge.
There was a sound at the door, which caused Hermione to look up from petting Crookshanks. Draco Malfoy stood there with a sneer on his face. He was wearing his robes already, which had a shining Head Boy badge on them.
"Granger." He nodded. 'Was he actually being civil?' Hermione thought. "Father said that I should actually try to get along with you, as we are both Head students, and have to set examples and such." He sighed, rolling his eyes. "Honestly, does he actually believe the younger student will get along if we do?"
"Erm, I don't know, Draco." Hermione responded, trying to be nice as well. He looked up at his first name being used by the Gryffindor. "But I suppose it makes sense, and I'll bet Professor Dumbledore will tell us the same."
"True." Draco agreed. "I'll bet we'll be forced to do all the duties together as well." For a few minutes, they sat in silence, looking out the windows. Hermione was starting to think it was quite peaceful when Draco began to whine again. "Gods, this is to boring! Do we have to stay here the whole time?"
"I'm not sure." She said. "I suppose we could take turns staying here. Half an hour each shift?"
"Fine, but I'm leaving first." He stood and left, probably to find Crabbe and Goyle to make sure they weren't banging their heads against walls. Hermione snickered at the thought, and pulled out an Arithmancy text.
