This is my first ever story and I hope everyone likes it. Enjoy and please R&R

Fred and George handed them their new timetables.

"And by the way you three, you're all signed up for our new class. See you this afternoon." Fred and George walked of to talk to some old friends from younger years. They had been volunteers to try out there first few inventions.

The day went smoothly, the homework piled up, and none of them could believe it when the day finally finished. Ron dropped himself into the chair near the fire in the common room and started ranting.

"It's ridiculous how much homework we have. Honestly, you would think we had nothing better to do."

"Well I wouldn't worry to much Ron, its not like you ever actually do homework anyway" said Harry with a little gleam in his eye.

"Excuse me Harry, but I always do my homework." Ron sounded offended.

"Oh" said Hermione "in that case you won't need to copy off of me this year so you won't mind if I only do my homework when you're not around." Hermione gave Harry a knowing look. Harry looked at Ron waiting for a reaction.

"Really Hermione, I said I always did my homework and I mean it. I never said it wasn't someone else's first. Besides you don't want me to fail do you."

"Don't worry Ron, I wont let you fail. You do that without my help."

Ron smiled at Hermione before declaring he was to tired to sit and chat any longer and he was going to bed. Harry followed not long after. Hermione sat looking at the fire for a while thinking about everything they had learnt that day. She new it was going to be a tough year but she was ready. Leaving everyone else in the common Room she followed Harry and Ron's lead and went to bed.

Hermione walked down a long corridor looking at all of the baby pictures. Why was she here and why was that baby crying. She saw Fred walking up to her but couldn't figure out what he was talking about.

"Just try it Hermione, it won't hurt you, I promise." She walked past him confused and dazed. She saw Ron walking straight past her looking really angry and just heard him mutter "Traitor" before he disappeared.

Hermione felt something heavy drop into her arms and just as she looked down to see what it was it disappeared. So did the hallway and she could no longer hear the baby crying.

What she could see was her comfortable bed her cosy room and three other girls in their beds. It had all been a dream but what did it mean? As Hermione drifted of into sleep she remembered looking down into her arms and seeing a soft smooth face slowly vanishing before her eyes.

As Hermione got up the next morning she began to think about the dream but all of the details were slowly becoming hazy. It was common not to remember dreams but Hermione wished for once she could have remembered enough. She new it was important and it meant something but still she couldn't figure it out. That niggly feeling stayed with her all day and even managed to distract her in class.

"Hermione are you feeling alright?" Hermione looked up

"Sorry Professor McGonagall, I'm fine."

Hermione gazed over the paper and wrote a few answers in. After all it was just a revision sheet, she could do that tonight.

"Ok, class please hand in you revision sheets before you go and don't forget to do that homework on page 15 of your books."

Hermione looked panicked. Hand in the sheet? Had this been a test? Had this been an important test? What if she had failed? Why hadn't she listened? She had promised herself no distractions and she hadn't even finished the first week and already she was a failure. As she walked up to McGonagall at the front of the class she tried to think of what she would say. 'Sorry professor I was distracted' didn't quite sound right.

"Professor, I…"

"No need to worry Hermione" McGonagall cut her off "I'm sure you did just fine don't worry about a thing" she said. She was use to Hermione constantly worrying about her grades but she had also become accustomed to assuring her. With that she left the classroom taking all of the papers with her.

Hermione walked out of the classroom and ran straight into an excited looking Ron.

"Whoa Ron, slow down. What is going on?" Hermione asked concerned.

"Haven't you heard? The first Hogsmead trip has been announced, its this weekend. They have never had one this early before. Are you going to go?"

"Of course" said Hermione. The way she was feeling she was going to need a trip to take her mind off of things.
