Soon, I will get to see Harry and Ron. It's been ages, Hermione thought to herself as she got out of bed. Today she was going to meet them in Diagon Alley. She had received her Head Girl badge a week ago and she wanted to tell her best friends so bad but decided to wait and do it in person. I wonder who Head Boy is….bet it's Harry….. but I wonder why he hasn't said anything…well maybe he wants to tell me in person.

"Hermione!" called her mother from downstairs, "time for breakfast, darling."

"I'm coming, mum!", she called as she threw on some clothes and ran downstairs.

A short time later after she had finished breakfast her parents told her they would be leaving for Diagon Alley in two hours.

And exactly two hours later Hermione was on her way to the Leaky Cauldron entrance into Diagon Alley. She still couldn't believe she had spent six years at Hogwarts already and that this was going to be her last year. This is very sad…Hogwarts has been my second home it's where I met Ron and Harry and had all those adventures. Trying not to dwell on these thoughts as it would ruin what was supposed to be a good day she didn't see the person walking in front of her until they collided. "Sorry..I didn't see you," they both said at the same time. When they realized who they were talking to they both become distinctly colder toward one another. "Malfoy.."said Hermione. "Ugh..Granger, watch it! Now I'll have to go put on clean robes since your mudblood filth has contaminated them", said Malfoy as he wiped himself off and stormed past her, all the way thinking, Whoa would look at Granger,she's hott, wouldn't have known it was her until she said my name like that.Wait no..not hott..eww not Granger.Hermione hid the pain his words had caused and muttered "What a prat!" under her breath.

She walked until she got to Gringotts Wizarding Bank. She went inside and got her money. She still had time before she was supposed to meet Harry and Ron at the Quidditch supply store , where else? Hermione decided to go get her new robes. She had gotten taller over the summer and definitely needed some new ones. Not only had she gotten taller but she'd grown in the chest department also and she wasn't as pale as usual because she had actually spent time outdoors and acquired a nice looking tan.

While being measured for her new robes, she heard the bell ring announcing that someone had just walked in. "Just a minute dear while I go help the customer," said Madam Malkin. A minute later she heard the cold, drawling voice of none other than Malfoy.

"Ugh..he is such a prat and so high-handed, acting like he owns the streets even," he mumbled to herself remembering the incident from earlier. Trying not to think about the boy with the holier-than-thou attitude she looked at herself in the mirror. Wow Hermione, look at you..not bad. she thought to herself. She was getting tired of waiting and decided to go get Madam Malkin even thought that meant she would probably have to endure being near Malfoy. She stepped out of dressing room and headed towrd the front of the shop.

Malfoy had been standing there for what felt like forever waiting on the witch to get him his order. He opened his mouth to tell her to hurry up when Granger came around the corner. "We meet again Granger," he said to her and recieved a glare for his greeting. Maybe shouldn't have been so rude earlier...but look at her. What are you thinking man...it's the mudblood remember. Give it up already you know you don't really care about all that. His father Lucius had finally been captured and now Draco was free from the tyrant.

Hermione tried to ignore Draco...wait since when is he Draco...Malfoy that's it. Hermione ignored him and turned to talk to Madam Malkin all the while feeling someone eyes booring into her back.

Madam Malkin turned to Draco and said," Here is your purchase, will that be all Mr.Malfoy?"

"Yes, I suppose," Draco said his eyes never leaving Hermione.

Madam Malkin coughed to get his attention. As he realized he was still staring he grabbed his bag, gave his trademark smirk and mouthed..See you later,Granger.

Hermione did not know why he had been lookin at her like that..like he wanted to..wanted to..she wasn't sure but all she knew was that maybe she didn't mind all that much. She looked down at her watch and noticed it was nearly time for her to meet her friends. She got her robes wrapped and paid for them and took of towards the Quidditch shop.
