Chapter 1

A/N Just so you know I'm telling this from Hermione's POV, I didn't do that with the pro logue.

I spent most of the summer hanging out with Hale and her friends, well now there were my friends too but it wasn't like that to start with. I got use to sleeping late because we stayed out late. I didn't see my so called parents accept for when I went to get my things when I decided to move out. A few weeks befor the end of summer an owl arrived with a letter from Hogwarts with a list of books I'd need for the up coming year, to tell the truth I didn't really feel like going back if my friends had writen over the summer I didn't get the letters. And school didn't seem so important right now like it had once. I had told Hale about my school, and about how I wasn't sure I wanted to return to it. she said if I didn't want to go back I could stay with her. Her famly was in America but had lots of money that's how she could go out and party all night and keep her small house paid for. She didn't work most of the time and if she did it didn't last long, she'd over sleep and get fired. Today she was out shopping with her friends I sat out on the padio by the in-ground pool. When I really thought about it I didn't want to be like Hale going to parties all the time and all, so what if she had money that wasn't the way I wanted to live.
"Hermione..Herm.." Hale called from inside the house. I got up and went in "yeah". There's a letter here it was forwarded to this address from your mum and dad." I took it and opened it it was from Harry and Ron, funny they sent it by muggle post. I'd ask them about it later, they had writen to ask if I'd meet them in Diagon Alley the day after tomorrow to pick up school books and stuff. I turned the letter over to write an answer, finely I wrote sure see you there at.. 1:30. I sealed the envalope and sent it off. That Saturday I met them outside the book store Florish and Blots, I decided not to dress so wild like I had done for most of the summer maybe being wild and stuff wasn't really my thing, I had dressed in a terquoise tank top and faded blue jeans. "Hi.. why didn't you two write all summer?"
"We couldn't write we were busy with the order." Harry answered. "Oh, I understand" I said. I started to tell them I wasn't sure I wanted to go back to school but stopped myself I was sure now I was going back, I had had a summer of fun but now I had to finish school. I got all the books I needed and some extra things, quills and parchment. "Well bye I'll see you on the first of September" I said hugging them as I got ready to leave. I had really missed my best friends, maybe if I had writen to them and not went off to Hale's the summer would have been better. I had told them about my parents and Hanna. Back at Hale's I started packing my trunk I had a week to get ready but I wanted to start now. I washed all my robes and organized my books and took out old one's I didn't need anymore. I was in the middle of packing when Hale came in and flopped down on my bed "I'm so bord" she said. I simply told her to quit going out at night and to find something to do like school or something constructive. She rolled her eyes and said "you aren't so perfect Hermione Granger shall I remind you how your summer was spent?" "No I know how I spint it but I don't want to be like that now." I rolled my eyes back at her. "Whatever I'm going to get ready to go out." "Again didn't you hear anything I said?" "Yeah but I really don't care." She left slamming the door behind her, fine I wasn't trying to say I was perfect but I wasn't going to fight with her maybe she'd been living like a party girl for too long to change. I closed my trunk and started reading one of the new books for sixth year. On the first I didn't have any choice but to call my mum and ask for a ride to the train station. She wasn't happy about it. But she agreed and she picked me up without Hanna or dad. Most of the ride was quite and finely she said "Hermione I'm sorry I don't know why we acted the way we did when you came home.." I just shruged "it's ok." "No it's not I'm gonna make it right will you come home over Christmas break?" I thought about it then not wanting to give her hope after the way they had treeted me still hurt, even thought princess Hanna had had them under her little spell, non-magical spell that is. I just said "we'll see mum" I got out at the train station and pulled my trunk from the back seat, it was much lighter after being cleaned out. "Bye mum" I went in to the station and leaned casualy against the bairiar and slipped through and after storing my trunk in a compartment went to find my friends. I found them, Ginny was with them. I tried to ignore her she and I weren't the best of friends and she had found out how my summer was spent. she had some muggle friends like I did, how she'd met them I didn't know or care. She kept glairing at me and trying to get Harry and Ron not to hang around me, finely when we were on our way she said, "So Hermione how was your summer?". "You know" I said wanting her to shut up I didn't want to tell how I'd spent the summer in night clubs using fake ids and all that. Ginny smiled sweetly " I heard you went out to night clubs." Everyone got quite and looked at me. "Hermione did you really?" Ron asked, "yeah I'm not proud of it things were bad at home and I hung out with the wrong people for a while". "So you made a mistake that's ok" Lavender said she had come in to our conpartment to ask if she could barrow some ink from me she had forgotten to buy a new bottle. When she was gone Ginny followed, looking unhappy, guess her plan to make my friends hate me had not worked. When we got to school we got in the cariages and were taken up to the school, and after the sorting the start of school feast begain. After the feast professor McGonagall asked to see Harry Ron and I she also asked for Malfoy, now that was wierd what could he have to do with anything we were going to talk about. I didn't have time to think about it because we were lead in to her office. The four of us were told that we'd been picked to help out in a secret project for the Order of the Pheonex. But I still didn't get why Malfoy was here, that was cleared up seconds later.
"Mr Malfoy has shown us that he is not on the dark side as you probably assume and believe from the way he has always acted" prifessor Mc Magonagall said. Ok that was odd but whatever I wanted to know more about the project. But she told us that the plans were still being worked out and she'd see us in a week with more instructions.
A/N Hmm what could there little project be about? Reviews make me update faster so if you want to find out review.
