Discalimer: I do not own anything Harry Potter! It all belongs to J.K. Rowling!

A/N: Hey guys finally chapter 2 is up! I am going to say sorry right now for the length...i know it's short! I have been so busy with school and vacation and that is my lame excuse as to why i took so long to update!I would love to thank my wonderful reviewers and everyone who read my story! Well enough from me...on to chapter two...

Just as Hermione reached the last page of Hogwarts, A History, King's Cross Station came into view. She closed the book and as soon as the car was parked she jumped out. She couldn't wait to start her last year as Head Girl, so she loaded her things onto a trolley and said her goodbyes to her parents. As soon as they were out of waving distance she ran as fast as she could towards the barrier between platforms nine and ten!

As she appeared on the other side of the barrier Hermione immediately started to look for her best friends who see hadn't seen since the end of 6th year. She was so excited to see them again and was looking forward to seeing how much they had changed over the summer. Hermione guessed that Ron would still have his freckles and would be around 6'2 and that Harry would still not be able to control his hair. But as for Ginny she hadn't a clue, she was always the least predictable out of the group. As Hermione was still pondering this she ran into someone. (A/N: Three guesses who! If you guess right you shall get a sugar quill!)

"Oh, I am so sorry, please let me help yo- …" Hermione started but was interrupted.

"Oy Granger! Watch where you're going," said a very aggravated Slytherin!

"Sorry, Zabini I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." (A/N: I bet you all thought it was gonna be Draco! Well you're wrong and no sugar quills for you! More for me evil laughs… I mean I am so sorry you got it wrong!)

"Thanks for stating the obvious Mudblood," Zabini said laughing as he pushed Hermione back to the ground. Just when she thought things couldn't get any worse Malfoy and the rest of his cronies showed up just in time to mock her.

"Look it's the mudblood on the ground where she belongs, she is just as low as a house elf," smirked a very arrogant blonde boy.

"Shove off Malfoy," screamed a very angry Hermione as she picked herself of the ground.

"Tsk, tsk mudblood is that anyway to talk to a pureblood?"

Hermione just rolled her eyes and said with a smirk of her own, "What's the matter Malfoy, has the big bad ferret run out of creative ways to try and insult me? Don't you think 'mudblood' is getting a little old? You have only been using it since what, second year?"

Malfoy just stared at Hermione, open-mouthed, he could not believe bookworm Granger had just told him off and then smirked. That was his thing and she had used it against him. But his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her voice…

"And another thing Malfoy just because you are a "pureblood" doesn't make you better than everyone else, which is very apparent by the way you can't even come up with a simple comeback!" With that she flipped her hair over her shoulder and walked away knowing that she had won! Hermione-1 Malfoy- 0! That will show him I am not putting up with any of his crap this year! I bet his is still standing there starching his head!

Hermione had finally loaded her trunk on the train and was now looking for her friends. She had checked almost every compartment and decided if they are not in one of the next two I give up! They can come find me! As she opened the door and stepped inside she was bombarded with her friends' greetings.

"AH! OMG! I missed you so much!" Ginny screamed as she ran towards Hermione to give her a hug!

"Hey Gin! I missed you too! You look-" Wow! She certainly grew up over the summer! Ginny was now about 5'5 and had lost all her baby fat. Her trademark Weasley hair fell just below her shoulders into small curls which made her look very sophisticated. "–amazing," Hermione finished with a smile.

Ginny blushed, turning as red as her hair and managed to choke out a "thanks 'Mione" before really noticing how much her best friend had changed too. Hermione's once unruly and frizzy hair had finally calmed down; it was naturally wavy and fell half way down her back. Ginny also noticed that Hermione's robes looked a little baggy, which she took to mean that she had lost weight but didn't want to show it off. Hermione had always told her that she wanted someone to love her for what she was on the inside and not for what she was on the outside. While Ginny was silently debating on telling her how amazing she looked this year, Hermione and the guys were having their reunion.
