Chapter One The Letter

Hermione woke with a start. It was 4 weeks until she started her 7th year at Hogwarts. Looking around she tried to find the reason for why she had been abruptly awoken. The awnser came to her almost immediately. There was an Owl at the end of her bed with a letter attached to it's leg.

"That'll be from Hogwarts" she though smiling to herself as she opened the envelope. The Owl flew of and Hermione began to read.

Dear Miss Granger

I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected as Head Girl.

You will be expected to sit in a separate carriage on the Hogwarts Express along with the Head Boy and to look over the prefects.

At Hogwarts you shall have your own dormitory and a common room that you shall share with said Head Boy.

I look forward to seeing you at Hogwarts.

Yours sincerely,

Professor M. McGonagall

Hermione smiled and looked at her Head Girl badge. She placed it on her bedside table and still smiling, went back to sleep.

It was 9:00 am when Hermione awoke. She decried to get dressed and go down to breakfast.

"Good morning honey!" Her mother, Amy called. Hermione merely smiled and began to eat. "Mum" Hermione said suddenly "yes dear?", "we are going to need to go to Diagon Alley soon to get my school stuff", "sure thing sweetie, now about-", "and I became Head Girl" Hermione said cutting of her mother.

Amy beamed at her daughter. "That is wonderfully news honey, definitely deserves a treat! What do you say to that posh restaurant that just opened up down the street? I have been dying to go there for ages but haven't had and excuse to get your father to take me". "That would be great" Hermione said breathlessly.

A/N: I know its rather short, only 303 words, but it will get longer. I promise.

Also, my excuse for the utter suckyness of it, I started the story about a year ago, I'll improve as I go along!
