IMP! READ PLEASE: Okay, so I've read HBP, and I don't want to spoil it for anyone, so I'll pretend I haven't. Voldemort is dead, being killed by Harry in his 6th year, and all is happy in the wizarding world. Sirius' (although he's dead) name has been cleared and was considered to be a very respectable wizard by all. Enjoy everyone (:

The Final Year.

Hermione Granger sat happily up in her bed and turned off her buzzing alarm clock. It was September first and soon she'd been on the bright red train waiting to take her back to Hogwarts for her final year. She stretched her arms as she swung her legs over the side of the bed. She smiled as she recalled her friends reactions when she told them she was to be head girl this year.

She looked at the clock. She had about an hour and a half until the train left. Lucky for her, she had packed the night before.

Stepping lightly to the bathroom, she removed her shirt and stepped into the shower. She fooled with the knobs until she got the proper temperature and dipped her head back into the water. She squeezed a respectable amount of lemon scented shampoo into her hand and began to wash her hair. She let it sink in and then rinsed. Hermione washed the rest of her body and stepped out of the shower slowly. She turned it off as she wrapped a towel around herself.

Walking into her bedroom, she grabbed her wand and performed a quick drying spell on her body and hair. She put on her undergarments, a nice red sweater, jeans, and pulled her hair into a loose pony tail.

Hermione dragged her trunk down the stairs and set it by the door so she'd know where it was. Her mother smiled at her as she sat down and began to munch her toast.

"Morning Mum!" She said after a couple of bites.

"Morning dear." Her mother replied, pouring Hermione a glass of milk.

"Where's dad?" She asked.

"He had to go to work this morning," she said while washing a few dishes, "I'll drive you to the station."

"Thanks Mum." Hermione said.

Her mother smiled.

A little while later Hermione was climbing into the front seat of her car, Crookshanks on her lap, and her trunk sitting securely in the back seat.

Hermione smiled. This was going to be a good year.

Authors Notes:

Well, that was the first chapter. A little short, I know, but they'll get longer. I hoped you all enjoyed it. Don't forget to review! Also, I haven't decided if this is to be Hermione-Severus or Hermione-Draco. Submit your request and I'll be able to continue the story (:
