Hey all! This is my first HO fic so if it's bad at first bear with me! Emily

She woke up to the incessant beeping of her alarm clock. She groggily opened her eyes and looked at the calendar. She sat straight up as soon as she saw what day it was. 'This is it.' She thought. 'I'm finally going back.' She got up from the bed a walked around her slightly childish room, remembering how every scratch, nick, mark, or ding on the lilac paint got there. She had had a lot of great memories in this room, including some not- so-great ones. She could hardly believe that this was her last year at Hogwarts. She looked at the room once more before heading into the bathroom.

As she looked in the mirror, she couldn't help but wait to see the reactions of all her schoolmates when they saw her. She was no longer the scrawny, bushy haired, nose always in a book, know-it-all, that she was the year before. Her hair had smoothed considerably and she had curves in all the right places. Her once hazel eyes now shone with anticipation.

'You are going to make this year the best one yet.' She said to herself. 'You're going to make them remember the name Hermione Granger.'

So there is the first chapter. I know its short, but it sounded good ending it there. I'll be putting up another chapter almost immediately after this one. Please review!!
