Well we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin' all that noise
'Cause they found new toys
Well we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag!
School's out for the summer
School's out forever!
I'm bored to pieces!
Well we got no Class!
And we got no Principals!
And we got no Intelligence!
We can't even think of a word that rhymes!
Well we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If the flag don't suit ya
That's a drag!
No more Pencils!
No more Books!
No more Teachers'!
Dirty looks!
Out for summer!
Out till fall!
We might not come
Back at all!
School's out for summer detention!
School's out Forever!
School's out with Fever!
School's out completely!
School's out for summer!
School's Out by A Teen
Chapter One
'Finally it's summer again,' Hermione Granger thought, as she looked outside her window from the Hogwarts Express. The summer holiday means no more schoolwork to do (except for the usual essays that are assigned to us during the holidays). Not having to deal with Snape or the Slytherin students (which is a good thing since they're both a pain to deal with during the school year), and it also means no more detentions, or getting points deducted (which is the consequence from having to deal with the Slytherin's most of the time). However, there was another reason entirely why Hermione was looking forward to this summer holiday, because this summer she was going to spend it with her friends from the muggle world for it's been too long since she saw them. It all started when she was accepted to Hogwarts and she began to spend more time in the wizarding world. Not to mention, she had made some new friends, Harry and Ron. Thus, she began to spend more time with them. However, it came to a point where, she realized that she was neglecting her other friends that she had, the ones that she had known before being introduced to the world of magic. Besides, another reason for why Hermione was looking forward to this particular summer. Was because she missed being in the muggle world and doing stuff that normal muggles would do, like shopping, going to parties or car races, talking on the telephone for hours at home, or on the cell phone while out and about, and other normal things that teenagers did in the muggle world. Yet in the end, Hermione knew that she couldn't be qualified as being "normal." In a way though, she may have been different because she was a muggle-born witch. However, there was an entirely different reason altogether. For in Hogwarts she was called, 'Miss-Know-It-All,' 'Bookworm,' 'Teacher's Pet,' and the foulest thing a muggle-born witch or wizard could be called, 'Mudblood.' Then again, Hermione did act completely different around Harry and Ron. With them she was the 'Know-It-All,' the smart one, the one who always did her homework, who got points for their house, and had the highest grades in all subjects (well except in flying and potions). She was also considered the responsible one when it came to certain situations; she also was the one that tried to keep both Harry and Ron from getting into trouble (which is impossible to do at times). Even though, she was good at mostly everything. She also had a very quick temper, which was also well known throughout the school. However, outside of school Hermione was quite different towards people. For instance to her parents, she was considered to be perfect in everyway. For she was extremely well mannered, good-natured, quite studious, and highly educated. She also knew many things and was extremely talented in many subjects. Not to mention, she was known to be a respectable member of one of the riches families in all of England's society. Nevertheless, to her friends though, she was a completely different girl. She would often be flirtatious with the guys that she knew, quite adventurous when trying out certain things, she was extremely lively when she was in any sort of conversation with someone, and under any given circumstances, she would be able to handle any kind of situation with good common sense and calmness. Hermione was also known to be quite gifted when it came to being artistic. For that was where most of her outrageous ideas of fashion came from. Not to mention, like at school in this lifestyle she was also very quick-tempered and that was not something to be fooled with, because with Hermione it could easily get extremely bad.
Anyway, getting back to the fact that summer was finally here. It was when Hermione had been on Christmas holiday and visiting her parents. That she ran into some old friends of hers. They got around to talking and catching up, that Hermione realized that she missed them very much and felt that she needed to renew the friendships she had with them. Therefore, she had decided that during the summer holidays she would spend it with them in muggle London. Recalling a conversation that she had with Harry and Ron, while sitting by the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room after getting back from the holidays.
"So it'll be all right? All right that I can spend sometime with my muggle friends in London," asked Hermione in a surprised tone to both Harry and Ron.
Harry who probably was the closes to understanding what Hermione was feeling at this time said with a casual voice, "Of course, Hermione. Both Ron and I understand completely. After all, they're your friends, also. To be honest I'm not surprised that you miss them. You can't forget that you were born and raised as a muggle Hermione. Even though, you are a muggle-born witch…now. There will always be apart of yourself that will long to do the normal things that you did before you had discovered that you were a witch. "With that piece of advice Hermione looked at Harry and in many ways, his words were true. She so longed to retain that part of her which was still 'normal.' With that thought lingering in her mind, Harry's voice interrupted by saying, "Besides, I'm sure both; Ron and I can fend for our own by finding a way to amuse ourselves at the Burrow." The place that Harry had mentioned was the Burrow that was where the Weasley family lived.
As Harry continued to speak, "Beside I'm curious as to what Fred and George are up to this time. You know that they always have some scheme up their sleeve to lighten things up" At the mere mention of the Weasley twins, both Harry and Ron grinned, whereas Hermione just rolled her eyes in complete exasperation. For Fred and George were Ron's older brothers and the two had a nasty knack for getting into plenty of trouble, or worse for causing it. Not to mention, in Hermione's opinion with the Weasley twins, it was already double trouble. However, you mix with the company of Harry and Ron. The situation that was previously considered bad would end up getting a lot worse with all four getting into trouble together. In the end, though she would be feeling sorry for Mrs. Weasley who was going to have to deal with all four of them during the summer (and who already felt that the twins would be the end of her one day). Not to mention, poor Ginny who was the only girl in the entire Weasley family, which said enough. For Hermione felt badly leaving Ginny completely alone without having any company of her own this summer. Therefore, Hermione promised herself that she would find a way to make it up to Ginny somehow during the next semester.
"It was also really nice of Dumbledore to let me go straight to the Burrow this year. Instead of having to go to the Dursley's first like always," said Harry excitedly, about this piece of news. Although, nobody could blame him for feeling excited though. Since they all knew, the Dursley's were quite horrible to begin with and the last thing Harry wanted to do was see them and vice-versa.
That was the last time the three of them had a conversation before getting on the train to go home for the summer holidays. Because usually on the train all Harry and Ron do is talk about quidditch and that was one conversation Hermione was happy to not have to talk about with them. Therefore when the Hogwarts Express finally pulled into the Platform of 9 ¾, everybody got out, gathered their stuff, so they could go through the barrier. As Hermione, Harry, and Ron went to collect their trunks, they said their final goodbyes and made promises to keep in touch over the summer. However, before they could part ways they happened to run into Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, and Blaise Zabini. The last three Slytherin's that Hermione, Harry, or Ron wanted to see before starting their summer vacation.
"Well, well, well…if isn't Potty, Weasel, and the Mudblood," sneered Draco as he eyed all three of them and while both Pansy and Blaise were snickering behind him.
Hermione simply rolled her eyes at the Slytherins standing before her and in a nonchalant voice she said, "What could you possibly want now Malfoy? Or did your small brain not register that school is out and none of us have to listen to a word you say." At that, comment both Harry and Ron began to snicker as they stood directly behind her. Not to mention, they were enjoying the look on Malfoy's face, which could be described as anger. In which was the complete truth, since Malfoy was angry. He was angry at the idea of letting some lowly Mudblood witch get the best of him. Not that it was a new thing, for she's insulted him plenty of times before, but it was getting to be too much. Therefore, he shrugged the insult off and looked coldly at the three Gryffindors and hissed harshly towards Hermione,
"Be careful Mudblood! Potter and Weasley won't always be there to protect you," with that last remark of Draco's, he and his little crowd took off. However, the Gryffindor trio was still watching as the trio of Slytherins took off. It wasn't surprising to Hermione, Harry, or Ron to get some sort of threat from the Slytherin's before school was out. It was to be expected, since it was apart of tradition. Just as the infamous rivalry between the houses of Gryffindor and Slytherin. As soon as the shock had worn off, the Gryffindor trio parted ways and promised again to keep in touch by owl, and to meet up at least one week before the next school semester began so they could buy their supplies, and hangout in Diagon Alley, until September 1st.
Finally, Hermione's parents arrived to pick her up at the train station. She was extremely happy to be home for the summer, but also because she was going to see her friends again. She couldn't wait to meet up with them and hangout. However, in the back of her mind Hermione felt that this summer was going to be quite unforgettable and not to mention a blast, as well.
A/N: This is officially the first chapter. Moreover, I will try to do some more writing during Spring Break. A little before, I leave to New York City, and when I get back. OKAY! So please, until then be kind and review. I will appreciate anything from good reviews to bad ones, as well. In addition, I would like to thank all of the people who reviewed the first part. Also, if anyone here knows how to do centering, bolding, italicizing, and underling when posting. Please someone e-mail me about it. I'm interested on how to do it. Again Thanks.
Thanks to: Ash, Kerbi, Sweet Sorrow, Sam, Sarah, Luving Draco, O.B.I.M. Li-chan, and Mya14. Thank you, very much for reviewing. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story that's to come.
