Chapter One

Farewells

Hermione woke up an hour early. She looked at her alarm clock, 7:16 it read. She got out of bed, and out of habit, turned around to make it. When she finished, she walked over to her full-length mirror.

She turned her head on its side, and smiled mischievously. Hermione wasn't the same girl anymore. She changed into a young woman, and had the body to prove it. She was tall and skinny and her usual amount of big, bushy brown hair was now sleek, with long, soft curls, thanks to a muggle shampoo her mum bought her. Her toffee colored eyes were warm and inviting, and besides growing tall, she also grew in the chest area, proving she wasn't a little girl.

Today, her father was dropping her off at King's Cross, so she could start her seventh, and final year at Hogwarts.

Hermione walked over to the opposite side of her room, where she had her own private bathroom. She walked over to the shower and turned the handle on hot, quickly undressing, and stepping in. The hot water felt good on her back, since she stayed up all night reading her new Standard Book Of Spells, Grade 7. She grabbed shampoo and lathered it into her hair, thinking she couldn't wait to go back to Hogwarts to see Harry and Ron, her two best friends, and what she was going to learn there, of course.

She turned off the shower and stepped out. She grabbed two pink fluffy towels and wrapped one in her hair, and one around her petite body. Hermione quickly dried off and put on her bra. She looked in her bureau.

'Here goes nothing,' she thought while pulling out a black thong. She got a couple when she went shopping in muggle London with her mum, who encouraged her to get some because she hated seeing those disgusting lines on her beautiful daughters bum, as she so plainly put it.

She slipped it on, 'not bad,' she thought, 'except for my major wedgie!'. She decided that once she started wearing them she'd get used to it,… 'hopefully.'

Hermione took the towel out of her hair and grabbed her wand off of her dresser. She performed a quick spell to dry her hair.

She walked over to her closet and pulled out a pair of jeans and slipped into them. She looked into her closet again and pulled out two things. A white wife-beater and a teal one. She decided to layer and put the white one on first, then the teal. Hermione then walked over to her dresser and grabbed a silver necklace with diamonds cascading down and a pair of metallic, silver, gladiator sandals and slipped them on.

Grabbing her wand, she pointed it at her trunk with all of her books and clothes already packed in it, and muttered "Wingardium Leviosa."

Her trunk raised off the floor a few inches. She walked out of her room with her trunk following her downstairs.

"Bye Chicken," her dad said, using the nickname her dad gave her when she was younger.

Hermione looked around hoping no one heard her dad, when she was sure no one did, she replied by saying, "Bye dad." then hugged her father tightly.

"Love you!" she yelled at him when he was pulling his car away from the curb. She turned around and walked into King's Cross.
