A/N: I will continue working on this story until it is done. Right now I have no idea how long this story will be. Again thanks for all the reviews, favorites and follows. I really appreciate it! I will definitely make sure this story is the best it can be. So sorry I couldn't post on Thursday! I was at my cousin's wedding! Yay! On with the story!

Hermione awoke with a start. She rushed into her parents bedroom. "Can we go now! Please, please, please! I'm so excited! I'm going to get a wand and a cauldron and maybe a pet! Can I please get a pet?"

"Sweetie your rambling," her mother said from the bed. "We need to eat and then we can go."

"Ok!" Hermione squealed. "I'll go make us toast right now!" and with that Hermione swept out of the room and ran downstairs faster than you could say 'Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans!'

This was the day Hermione would go to Diagon Alley. She couldn't wait. She had been looking forward to this ever since her parents told her about it, which was yesterday. She had been bouncing off the walls all afternoon. When it was finally night time she crawled in and couldn't go to sleep. She stayed up and waited for morning to come.

Hermione's parents quickly got dressed and walked downstairs to a perfectly fit breakfast consisting of toast and eggs. They ate heartily without much conversation. Her parents were a bit apprehensive about going to Diagon Alley in case they were recognized. They decided to wear hats and sunglasses.

They finished up breakfast and Hermione grabbed everyone's things and waited patiently by the door. Hermione bounded out the door and started walking down the strreet, until she realized she had no idea where she was going.

"Mum," Hermione asked, "where exactly are we going?"

"You'll just have to wait and see."

"This is bloody fantastic!" Hermione cried as she stepped through a passage way that used to be a brick wall. "I can't believe you guys kept this a secret this whole time!"

"Hermione, language! Also your mother and I kept this secret because we knew it would keep you safe. All of this was done for your safety," her father replied.

"Of course dear! We love you!" her mother added.

"Aww! I love you guys too! You are the best parents anyone could ever ask for! Now let's go get me ready for school!"

As Hermione bounded into the streets of Diagon Alley, her parents acted as completely clueless Muggles. They visited Flourish & Botts, Madam Milkins, and of course, Ollivanders Wand Shop. Hermione curiously entered the wand shop. An old man with tousled white hair was wandering aimlessly down the rows and rows of wands.

"Hello Miss! Welcome to Ollivander's Wand Shop! My name is Mr. Ollivander and I presume you are here for your first wand?"

"Yes, Sir," Hermione replied timidly.

"Well then let's get started!" Mr. Ollivander started rummaging through the many wands. Hermione had been through six wands by the time she found THE ONE! As the wand was placed in her hand, she felt a tingling noise run through her body. She looked up and realized she was surrounded in green smoke. Her focus was quickly broken and the green smoke disappeared.

"Hmm... very interesting," Mr. Ollivander mused. "This has never occurred before. You will be very powerful some day Miss. Be careful. This wand, or should I say your wand is 13 inches long, made out of holly and with a dragon heartstring core. That will be 45 galleons."

"Th-thank you Mr. Ollivander." Hermione politely replied, slightly afraid of the old man's words. She quickly bounced out the door.

"Mom, Dad, I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!" Hermione squeezed both of her parents as tight as she could. In her arms the young witch now held a small, black kitten with one bright emerald eye and one sapphire blue. "I'll name her Misty, short for Mystical." Hermione he'd the kitten tightly as Misty snuggled close to Hermione's chest. "We will be friends forever Misty! I can tell!"

Mr. and Mrs. Riddle beamed at their daughter. They were so excited to see her so happy. They both had agreed that a cat was the best pet option for their daughter. They now could see the exceptional bond that Misty and Hermione had formed. The family headed home after a long day of shopping. Only three more days until Hermione was sent off to Hogwarts.

For Hermione, the next few days passed as slowly as possible. No matter what she did to pass time, she was restless and anxious for the days to come. Soon Hermione would be away from her parents for months, at a boarding school learning witchcraft and wizardry. Hermione's nerves were all fully aware of what was to come, and she was excited!
