Hermione and Ginny awoke at 7 o'clock the following morning doe to Hermione's alarm clock. They both took showers, Ginny fits as she beat Hermione to it, Yes someone actually beat Hermione to something. Next they did each others hair. Hermione did Ginny's into a tight 'S' shaped bun, leaving 2 strands of hair, which she curled, to frame her face. Ginny did Hermione's hair very easily, she straightened it then curled a strand so there was a curl, then a straight strand, then a curl, and so on, the effect was very pretty. Next they got changed, Hermione in a light-blue mini-skirt with a white blouse that flared out at the sleeves and a poncho-like top. Ginny dressed similar to Hermione but in a light-pink mini-skirt and silver blouse. Next they double checked their trunks, Ginny's had been sent while they were sleeping, and then left the room and made their way downstairs.
They were going to King's Cross in a normal muggle taxi cab, along with Blaise and Max. Hermione waved to her parents then scooted into the cab closely followed by Ginny, Blaise, Max, and Dakota. Nothing very eventful happened on their way to King's Cross unless you count Blaise yelling "Get lost" out the window at a man walking down the street because he whistled at Hermione, who was looking out the window at the time. Blaise was like a new-found big brother to her, he would do anything for her.
The cab driver was glad to get rid of "those noisy brats" and Hermione, Ginny, Blaise, Dakota and Max, were glad to get rid of, as Blaise put it, " that evil, old, something that rhymes with sucker." This caused Hermione to yell "Blaise" and hit him upside the head. They got trolleys for their trunks and pushed them toward platforms 9 and 10. When they arrived at their destination, Dakota and Max went through the barrier first, then Hermione and Ginny, closely followed by Blaise. When they arrived on platform nine and three quarters they immediately saw the big red train. The Hogwarts Express, "Were going home" said Ginny.
They said goodbye to Blaise who spotted Draco a ways away with a few other seventh year Slytherins. Max followed his brother even though he looked a little apprehensive. Ginny immediately spotted Colin Creevy and his brother Denis and rushed over to say Hello. Hermione then spotted Harry and Ron talking with their current girlfriends Katie Bell and Hannah Abbott. As Hermione approached both Katie and Hannah wrapped her in a hug and said "Oh Mione' soo great to see you". Next Harry and Ron wrapped her in an even bigger hug, as they were about 5 feet taller then her, especially Ron, "Its our little Hermione" they cried, causing her to blush deeply.
"Looks like somebody had a good summer" said Katie, admiring Hermione's now straight and highlighted hair.
"You look great Mione'" said Hannah.
Let's go find a compartment, I have a LOT to tell you" said Hermione, linking her arms with her trio.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Katie, and Hannah, soon joined by Ginny, Neville, and Luna found a compartment near the back of the train. Everyone sat down and Hermione quickly told them the story of her summer, with some details inputted by Ginny.
"You guys knew all this and you didn't tell us!" said Katie, pointing an accusing finger at her boyfriend, Harry, who smiled sheepishly. Hannah gave Ron a look of mock anger.
"Well yeah, BUT Hermione wanted to tell you guys herself." said Harry.
"Wow Mione' that's awesome' im soo happy for you!" said Hannah giving her a hug.
"Thanks Hannah" said Hermione, "Now will you guys please excuse me and Ginny here for a minute?" She grabbed Ginny by the wrist and pulled her into an empty compartment near the middle of the train, a ways away from their other friends.
"Gin, are you planning on telling the others about Blaise because I want to tell them about my new neighbors." said Hermione.
Ginny's eyes widened in shock and horror "Oh Mione' I dunno, I guess you could say I was living in the summer, I completely forgot that we would have to decide what we were gonna do when we got back to Hogwarts.
"Oh Gin, I no" said Hermione "Tell you what, lets go find Blaise, see what he says!"
"Oh Ok" said Ginny, brightening up a bit, but you do realize that probably requires dealing with the other 7th year slyther-dorks."
"Oh I don't care about them, Im Head Girl, we'll tell Blaise it prefect duties, or make up something like... his brother fell ill." said Hermione. "Oh Mione' no wonder they call you the brightest witch of your age, that's brilliant!" said Ginny, wrapping her best friend in a hug.
"Oh Ginny anybody could have thought of that. Lets go" And they left the compartment seeking a certain Blaise Zabini.
They had been searching for at least 5 minutes before they found him, at the complete opposite end of the train, seated in a compartment with exactly whom they had expected, Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, Gregory Goyle, Vincent Crabbe, and Theodore Nott, Ginny knocked on the compartment door and when they heard a cool male voice call "Enter", "that's King Malfoy" Ginny muttered", they entered the compartment, unwillingly. Hermione caught Blaise and Draco's eyes on her and Ginny, they seemed shocked that the two girls had even dared to come in.
"Zabini, Hermione spoke, Proffessor McGonagal sent us, she's in the prefect's compartment, she says your brother has fallen ill and we are to..er.. Escort you to her.
Pansy let out a shrill laugh "Escort him? What is he..five?"
"That's what McGonagal said Parkinson so shut your pug face and go back to snogging Malfoy" snarled Ginny, she sent an apologetic look Draco's way.
"Why you little.."started Pansy
"Let's go ladies" interrupted Blaise, shoving them bodily out of the compartment.
Ginny and Hermione burst out in laughter "Did you see the look on Parkinson's face when I told her to go back to snogging Malfoy, she looked like she was gonna do just that!" Ginny said through giggles. They walked quickly to catch up with Blaise, still quietly giggling.
The trio made their way back towards the middle of the train. As they passed the Prefect's compartment Blaise made to go inside but Ginny grabbed him by the shirt collar and drug him into the next compartment over.
"But what about Max?" protested Blaise.
"Max is perfectly fine as much as I know, acn't you tell a lie even when it's told to you by your own girlfriend?" asked Ginny.
"Oh no, haha" said Blaise "But why did you lie to me to get me out of the compartment?"
"Beacuse I just wasn't going to walk in their and ask if I could just talk to my boyfriend a minute in front of everyone." Ginny exclaimed.
"Why not?" asked Blaise.
"Oh because that would basically-wait- WHAT? Are you saying that you wouldn't mind going public?" asked Ginny, whirling around to face her boyfriend.
"Not unless you do Gin, I can give a crap less what this school thinks of me." said Blaise.
"Oh ok thats nice, I mean good." said Ginny, walking out of the compartment with Hermione.
"Hey Gin?"
Ginny turned back around to face her boyfriend, "Yea Blaise?"
"Can't a guy get a little love" he asked, holding out his arms with a puppy-dog look on his face.
"Of course baby" said Ginny, entering the compartment once more and sitting on Blaise's lap. Hermione, sensing a snog session coming on, quickly shut the door and made her way back to her compartment, kicked the boys out very courteously "Get your arses out, please!", and proceeded to change into her robes, next she pinned the "Head Girl" badged onto her robes, that's when it hit her, she checked her watch 11:28 a.m, Please rport to the Head Boy/Girl compartment on the Hogwarts Express at promptly 11:30am . "Oh No". She quickly grabbed quill, ink, and parchment and dashed out of the compartment. "What the-" called Ron as she quickly sped by them waiting patiently against the side of the compartment, Hermione Granger-or-Damenzla is never late for anything. She arrived at the head's carriage only a minut after 11:30. She slid into a seat, only Professor McGonagal was present, no head boy yet.
"Welcome Miss Damenzla, or are you going to continue going by Granger while you are at Hogwarts?" asked her head of house.
"Oh no, I shall be using my birth name, and thank you, its good to be back!" she responded.
"Oh and heres are head boy now"said Professor McGonagal looking at the compartment door that had just slid shut.
Hermione's head whipped around. "You?" she said her jaw dropping.
