The Second ChanceChapter 1: A New Year
The sun was hidden behind a little mound in the earth, and a 17 year old brown eyed brown haired girl watched it make its grand entrance into dawn. You could still see a few of the millions of stars that littered the sky at night. The cressent shaped moon was barely visible. The girl couldn't sleep that night because of all her thoughts of going back to her favorite place on the entire earth: Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.
She hadn't seen her two best friends all summer break fore she was in Paris with her parents. She wondered if they had changed at all from their stickly figures and almost girl pitched voices.
She didn't think that she was any different from last year. She was still the 5'4, brown eyed, bushy haired, plain old ordinary Hermione. Nothing special.
The sun was now fully in the sky, no longer being hidden by the earth.
Hermione came back from her thoughts, stood from the ground, and began her trek back to her home where she would have to get ready to ascend the platform 9 ¾ .

As she walked in her front door she realized that the house was still quiet and her parents were still sleeping peacefully in their beds. She tip-toed up the carpeted stairs and walked down the hallway towards her room. When she walked in her room she saw her trunk laying empty on her un-made bed. She grabbed her favorite outfit and headed towards the bathroom.
She filled the bathtub to as full as she could get it without it overflowing, but not without adding her favorite bubble bath scent vanilla. She stripped herself of her clothes and gracefully desended into the tub.
She put her back on the side of the tub and closed her eyes taking in the luscious vanilla scent that filled the air. To Hermione, this was her favorite place in the world, here she could get away from everything and just think.
About and hour and a half later the water started getting a little cold and the bubbles were starting to disappear. Reluctantly Hermione stood up and began to wash her body and hair with vanilla scented hair and body wash.
When she finally emerged from the tub she grabbed a soft red towel and wrapped herself securely in it, then grabbed a second towel and wrapped her hair up in to. She looked around the countertop and realized that she had forgotten her brush in her room. She walked over to the bathroom door, opened it and stepped out. As soon as her bare feet hit the carpet she shivered. It was much colder out in the hall than it had been in the bathroom. She hurridly ran to her room grabbed her brush and dashed back into her warm bathroom.
When she was finally dry from head to toe and her unruly hair was knot free she began putting her attire on for the day which consisted of: white bikini-cut underware and a matching white bra (nothing fancy), light colored boot-cut jeans, a pink tank top, and a little white jacket to go over the pink tank because Hermione was never into showing to much skin.
Now it was time for accessories, she put on a pair of pink stud earrings to math her tank top and a silver watch. Next makeup, Hermione was more into the natural look so she just put on brown eyeshadow, to compliment her eyes, mascara, and clear lip gloss. When she was finally done she glanced down at her watch and saw that she only had 15 minutes till she had to leave to go to King's Cross Station.
Hermione ran full speed to her room grabbing everything she would need for the year. When she was done in her room she ran back to the bathroom and grabbed everything from there. Her trunk was so packed she had to sit on the top to get it to close.
When it was finally closed she snatched her wand off of her nightstand and stuffed it into her pocket and drug her suitcase down the stairs.
She now had finally reached the bottom and saw that both of her parents were waiting for her at the front door.
"Oh Hermione we're going to miss you so much!" her mother cried when she finally reached then and tackled her into a huge bear hug.
"I'm going to miss you to mum." Hermione gasped trying to pull in some hair from her mother's tight embrace.
Her dad grabbed her suitcase and soon they were on there road getting closer and closer to their destination.

They finally arrived at King's Cross Station, her dad went and got her a cart for her trunk as her mom gave her another back breaking hug.
"Oh baby I'm going to miss you so much." Mom said almost on tears," I cant believe that this year is your last year at that magic school you go to."
"Hogwarts, mum, Hogwarts." Said Hermione with a sigh. Her mom was always forgetting the name.
Her dad finally arrived back with the cart and placed Hermione's trunk on top of it. She gave both of her parents one last hug and sat off towards platform 9 ¾.
" 6, 7, 8, 9, AH HA! Here we are, 9 ¾." Hermione ran through the barrier and the first thing she saw was Hogwart's students running around talking to friends and first years hugging their parents.
She started walking towards the train car that would hold everyone's luggage. When she got their a man grabbed her luggage off her cart and placed it on the train.
"Thank-you sir"
"Your very welcome miss."
Then out of nowhere she heard, " HERMIONE!"
She turned around to see who had just shouted her name and her mouth fell open at who she saw….
