* In the Hogwarts Express*
She was walking through the halls of the train. Even though she hadn't studied at Hogwarts the whole year, Ron had suggested that she should have a last ride on the train. So there she was. She got to the compartment, the same one she had been into with her best friends since year one. Only this time it was different. This time her best friend and his girlfriend were sitting and kissing. Her best friend and boyfriend was sitting across them, making gagging noises as their one-year-old daughter was giggling on his lap. Neville and Luna were there as well: Luna was sitting next to Ginny while Neville was sitting across her. They were playing exploding snap and laughing at Ron. Hermione sighed and smiled to herself as she opened the door. Everyone looked at her.
"There you are!" Ron exclaimed, half smiling. Little Belle looked at her with the brightest smile on her face.
"MOMMY!" she shouted upping her arms to her. Hermione walked in and took her from Ron, then kissed her chubby cheek. She sat down by the window and sat the baby on her lap.
"I was starting to think your were going to stay in the prefects compartment." Ron joked. She gave him a look.
"Wanna play?" Neville asked, showing her the cards. She shook her head and backed down a little as her daughter nearly hit her with something.
"Mommy book." Belle said, showing her the big blue book she had in her hands. Hermione nodded. Belle opened it and looked at her mom expectant. She started reading it. Harry looked at her. It would have been such a normal picture to just see Hermione reading a book on the train if it hadn't been for the baby on her lap. It was incredible how time passed and how thing had changed in over a year. But some things didn't. The trolley woman arrived shortly. Ron and Harry bought nearly everything on it. Little Belle looked at everything her father had in his hand, curiously.
"You think she's ready for one?" Ron asked Hermione showing her a chocolate frog.
"We could try. The healer said she can eat some things with sugar already, but not too much." she said. Ron nodded. He opened the box eagerly and took the frog out of it. Belle followed the brown thing with her eyes, eager to know what had her father so excited.
"Look, Belle! This is a chocolate frog. Here, baby. Try it." He encouraged her. Belle took the chocolate and looked at it carefully, like analyzing it.
"Gosh! It's Hermione with red hair!" Ginny exclaimed. Hermione rolled her eyes. Belle took a bit of the frog. Everyone looked at her expectant. She looked at her parents as she chew it, frowning, and gave it back to Ron.
"She doesn't like it." Hermione said matter-of-factly. Ron looked at her, shocked.
"Nah! It's just the first bite. She has to take another one." he said, trying to make Belle take another bit. The little girl shook her head and pushed his hand away. "Come on, Belle! Try again! you'll love it!" he insisted, but Belle wouldn't have it. She shook her head again. Ron kept trying. "Come on, baby! Do it for daddy!" he said, getting the chocolate frog closer to her. At this point, Belle was pissed and Hermione knew it. She pushed her father's hand with her little hands, making the candy fall on the floor.
"NO!" she shouted, then she rolled over in her mother's arms and buried herself into her mom's stomach.
"Told you she didn't like it. Maybe when we have another one in a few years they would like it." Hermione said rubbing her daughter's back. Ron sighed and picked up the piece of chocolate from the floor. He looked at her and his girlfriend as they both looked at the window. He couldn't think of a better was to spend their last ride on the train.
