Summer Vacation

A/N: I've been reading some stories that include snippets of what Hermione's life out side of school is like, and I decided to devote a whole story to it. Oh and ' ' thoughts and " " equals speaking (duh)

Chapter 1:Home, Sweet Home

'Finally coming home. A yearlong boarding school is TOO LONG; they should at least let you see your family and friends once in a while. But school is over and I can finally see my friends.' Hermione thought as she followed her parents up the walkway to her house. She was dragging her trunk behind her and it was really heavy!

She was going to miss Harry and Ron, though They were her only friends at Hogwarts, not counting Neville who was more like a very annoying acquaintance, or Lavender and Parvarti who, although they were the only other Gryffindor girls in her year were just down right annoying.

At least she could FINALLY see her OTHER friends again. Not that Harry and Ron even knew about them. But, that was their fault they never asked and probably don't even care. At least my friends here care they know all about Harry and Ron, accept the fact that they're wizards. (A/N: which, may I point out is just a minor detail)

Hermione's foot slammed into something hard, forcing Hermione to focus on where she was going. She realized that she was standing in front of the steps to her porch, on which her parents were unlocking the door. She hastily lifted her trunk on to the porch and dragged it through the door after her parents.

As she stepped into the living room she turned on the lights.

"Surprise!" All of her friends yelled at her from different areas of the room. Some jumped out from behind couches, armchairs and various pieces of art scattered around the room, while some crawled out from under tables and footstools.

Hermione let out a small shriek of laughter and surprise and after gathering herself up started walking around the room to greet her friends.

As she reached her best friend it dawned on her. She was home at last. Home, Sweet Home.
