A/N-I know this chapter is short but it is just a build up for the whole story. Chapters will be much longer, starting with the next chapter!


Hermione woke at sunrise as the sun spilled onto her face. She opened her eyes and sat up. She looked at Ginny who was still sleeping on the bed across the room. She sighed. She was happy that she had gotten to spend the last two weeks of summer break at the burrow. Hermione smiled at the fact the she would be starting her last year at Hogwarts. Not to the surprise of anyone, Hermione was chosen as Head Girl this year and when she had gotten that letter, she had practically fainted in happiness.

Hermione rubbed her eyes and clambered out of bed, she soundlessely walked into the bathroom and shut the door. She had decided that a shower would be the best way to wake herself up.

When Hermione got out of the bathroom, Ginny was awake and smiling to herself as she got dressed.

"Morning Gin," Hermione said as she walked back into the room.

"Morning 'Mione! I'm starving, lets go get some breakfast. I'm sure mum has cooked us something really good this morning"

"I'm coming, I'm coming... Just let me get dressed Gin!" Hermione laughed at Ginny's ever growing appetite.

"Well hurry up 'Mione! I don't want to wait all day for breakfast!" Ginny laughed and sat on the bed, waiting for Hermione to finish dressing.


It was no surprise that Mrs. Weasley was crying when she saw them off at Platform Nine and Three-Quarters but she cried all the same.

When Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny got on the train they waved a quick goodbye to Mrs. Weasley, who was by now, balling her eyes out, and went to find a compartment.When they had found a compartment, Hermione remembered that had to go to the Head's compartment.

"Sorry guys, I want to sit with you too. But Dumbledore insists on this whole 'house unity' thing and I have to spend the train ride getting to know the Head Boy..." Hermione was sad that she wouldn't be sitting with her friends but she was also overflowing with curiosity about who the Head boy might be.

"Head Boy... Who do you think it is Ron?" Harry asked his red haired friend.

"Dunno, probably some smart-ass from Ravenclaw..." Muttered Ron, who was not at all thrilled with the idea of Hermione spending time with a guy other than himself and Harry.

"Oh Ron, don't get upset. You know I would rather spend time with you guys then the Head Boy. Anyway, I'll cya guys later. Okay?" With that, Hermione spun around and left the compartment and made her way to the Head's compartment.

When Hermione stepped inside the Head's compartment, she gasped in awe. The compartment was furnished with cushioned seats and a table was filled with so much food that Hermione wondered how someone could think that two people might eat so much food. There were drapes on the window the compartment was a good four times larger than the regular ones. As Hermione walked towards a seat, two stong hands grabbed her and shoved her against the wall.

"Well, Well, Well... If it isn't Granger, the Mud-Blood... Should've known Dumbledore would choose you..." The sneer was so familiar that Hermione knew at once who was speaking. Malfoy.
