Chapter One
BRRRRRRRRRIIIIIING!!
Hermione's phone rang loudly as she sat on her bed rereading Hogwarts:A History. Crookshank's was sprawled out at the foot of her bed and took no notice that the phone was ringing.
BRRRRRRRRIIIIIIING!!!
"All right! I'm coming!" Hermione said to no one in particular as she put her bookmark between the pages.
She rushed to the phone to keep it from ringing shrilly again. "Hello?"
"HI!" said a screaming voice. "IS HERMIONE THERE!"
Hermione pulled the phone farther away from her ear.
"I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO HER ABOUT..." the voice started to continue before Hermione cut in.
"Ron?" Hermione said drawing the phone closer to her ear. "You don't have to scream."
Hermione imagined Ron's face turning bright red as he muttered words of apology.
"Don't worry about it." Hermione said softly. "Just talk normally."
"Well," Ron began. "I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to come over before school begins. You can come anytime in the next week."
Hermione was pleased that Ron asked her. She had been bored all summer with nothing to do but homework.
"I'd love to. I have been bored stiff over here!" Hermione said, already very excited.
"Brilliant! I can Floo Travel to your house and then take you back to the Burrow. Is tomorrow at noon good for you?"
"Works for me! Well, Ron, see you tomorrow!" She cheerfully agreed.
"Hermione before you go can I ask you something?"
Hermione was surprised. Was Ron really going to ask her well, something?
"Well I guess so..." she finally said in a small voice.
"Since you have muggle parents I was wondering if you could call Harry and tell him. I don't think the Dursley's want me calling again."
"Oh, yeah. That." Hermione said a little hurt. "What happened to your owls?"
"Well you know how thickheaded Errol is. He and Pig never get along. So when Errol was delivering the morning mail he kind of ran right into Pig. They are both taking it easy for awhile.
Hermione laughed out loud.
"It's not funny! Pig landed right on my breakfast plate!"
Hermione continued to laugh. When she finally calmed down she quietly asked what the Dursley's number was.
Ron gave it to her and then said good-bye.
"Bye! See you tomorrow." Hermione replied.
Hermione hung up the phone and lay down on her bed. She silently screamed inside at how stupid to think that Ron was going to ask her out. Sure he acted like her liked her but she wasn't sure if she was getting the wrong message.
She lay there for awhile until she got up and called Harry. She was relieved that it the young wizard who picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Harry! It's Hermione. Ron wanted me to ask you if you wanted to come to the Burrow tomorrow at noon? He will pick you up by Floo Powder and everything." Hermione explained.
Hermione could sense the excitement in Harry's voice. "I have been waiting for you guys to ask me all sum- Dudley's coming. Gotta go. Bye!"
With that Hermione and Harry both hung up the phone.
Hermione was just about to open up her book again when a large brown owl flew in the window. It dropped a letter on her bed and left.
As Hermione picked up the letter she noticed the Hogwart's Crest stamped on the seal. She tore open the letter and read.
Dear Miss Hermione Granger,
Welcome to your sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We hope you are eager to come back and learn the required sixth year magic.
There have been a few additions to the extra curricular activities this year. We have added a drama program for any witch or wizard interested in expanding their minds and performing on stage in front of the whole school. This program does not conflict with Quidditch in any way.
We hope to see you at 11:00 on September the first to catch the Hogwarts Express to Hogsmeade Station. Please be on Platform Nine and Three Quarters within ten minutes before the scheduled departure time.
Thank you and the whole Hogwarts staff looks forward to having a great year of learning, magic, and adventure.
Signed
Professor Minerva Mcgonagal
Headmistress, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
PS-Enclosed is a list of the required sixth year supplies.
Hermione put down the letter in satisfaction. She had always loved being in plays so she looked forward to trying out for this one.
Hermione decided to pack her trunk for tomorrow's trip to the Burrow. She wished she could do it by magic because it would go much faster. She sighed as a sign that she really wanted to get back to the wizard world "I miss magic." She said aloud to herself.
By the time she finished packing she was tired and ready to go to bed. After her shower she fell asleep instantly when her head hit the pillow. Crookshanks purred softly at the foot of her bed.
Hermione's alarm clock rang loudly at 7:30, scaring Crookshanks off of the bed. Hermione dressed quickly and ran downstairs to breakfast.
"Good morning wonderful parents!" Hermione sang as she ran down the old oak stairs.
Her parents gave her a confused look as she skidded into the kitchen. Look at her parents faces she realized she had forgotten something.
"I forgot to ask you!" Hermione exclaimed. "Is it ok if I go to Ron's house for the rest of the summer? He said he could pick me up by Floo Powder today at noon."
Hermione's parents didn't have any objections. So, Hermione sat down and took a piece of toast.
"Your father and I have to go to the office earlier today." Mrs. Granger began. "One of our patients was complaining about all the 'pain' her root canal is giving her three days after the procedure. We keep telling her it is normal but she won't listen to us."
Mr. Granger looked at the clock and hurriedly finished his coffee. He rose from the table with Mrs., Granger. They gave their daughter kisses good- bye.
"Have a wonderful time at school!" they exclaimed as they walked out the front door.
Hermione finished her breakfast and ran back upstairs to her bedroom. She did a quick check of everything she was taking. The clock in her room only read 8:15.
"I can't wait that long." Hermione said, too anxious to get out of her own house. "I my as well bring my stuff downstairs."
Hermione lugged her very heavy trunk down the flight of stairs and into the living room. She stacked everything into a pile by the fireplace.
She looked at the clock again. It was only 8:20. With nothing else to do Hermione pulled out Hogwarts: A History and began reading.
Hermione was just about to turn the last place when Ron tumbled into the fireplace.
He did a perfect summersault and hit his head on the coffee table.
Hermione gasped. "Ron! Are you ok?"
"I'm fine." Ron said as he stood up and rubbed his head. "We were running out of Floo Powder so I was the only one who could come."
Hermione nodded and walked over to get her truck. Ron was there too and there hands landed on top of eachother.
Ron turned bright red. "I can get it."
Hermione nodded and pulled her hand away.
"Harry is already at the Burrow. Do you want to go first?"
"You can." Hermione answered.
"Ron nodded and pulled Hermione's trunk towards the fire. He gave Hermione powder before he screamed "The Burrow!" and disappeared into the fireplace.
Hermione picked up Crookshanks with her other available hand and walked over to the fireplace. She threw down her Floo Powder, stepped in, and screamed "The Burrow!" She too, disappeared into the fireplace.
I hope you like it. They story will get more interesting. I promise. Please review and tell me what you think. Thanks for reading!
