Ten months has gone by since I left the wizarding world, and I miss it very much. But, I'm recovering and I am happier than I have been in a long time. I'm in a small house in a small muggle town called Basketfield. The people here are as nice as can be, and I have made friends with a lot of people. I got myself a job as a waitress in a cute coffee shop. I know it isn't grand, but I really like it here. My salary is enough for me to pay rent and live comfortably.

These past ten months has helped me move on and enjoy life more. The first couple of months here wasn't all that fun. I spent most of my days crying and locking myself in the house. But, Ginny wrote to me, and help me through her letters. And I eventually decided that I needed to do something besides crying. And that's how I landed with my job.

"You may go now Ms. Granger, your shift is over, I'll see you tomorrow." my boss gave me a smile and went back to the kitchen to clean up. Mr. Green really is one of my favorite person in this town. He's one of those old man who wears circular glasses, has white hair along with a mustache, and a bit rounded in the belly. I love to see him everyday because he was like a father to me.

"Alright Mr. Green, I'll see you tomorrow. Have a nice day!" I got my stuff and walked outside. Since my house was very close to the cafe, I like to walk to and from work on a bright sunny day.

Today was one of those days when all the birds are out chirping and and the air smells as fresh as ever. I enjoyed the light breeze and the sun shining on my tanned skin. It's one of those days when I think to myself that nothing can go wrong. Boy was I wrong when I reached my house.

"OH MY GOD! MY HOUSE!" I'm screaming at the top of my lungs. I could smell the smoke coming from it and see it burning into ashes. As I was about to call the fire department, I hear distant sirens going off, then it started to become louder and louder until it finally reached my house. I silently prayed to God that it wouldn't be too much damage. After what seemed like forever, my house was finally rid of the fire, but I knew that it was in bad condition.

"How is it officer? How did it start?" I asked him hoping for a good answer that maybe the inside was ok and that small parts of the house was damaged.

"I'm sorry Ms. Granger, but the fire was too big. It burned down the whole thing. Everything is in ashes. To answer your second question, you left your stove top on and a rag was near it. Because today was so hot, the rag caught on fire and thus it went on from there. I'm sorry Ms. Granger, you're gonna need to stay at someone else's house for a while."

"Alright, thank you officer." I didn't know what to do. I had no place to stay at. Then, I thought about asking Ginny, but that would mean I had to go back. Was it worth it though? After thinking for a while, I knew that it was my only choice, I had nowhere else to go to.

I went to a dark alley and looked into my purse. There it was, my wand. I haven't used it for awhile, I only kept it in my purse for safety. I held it in my hand and suddenly felt a wave rush through me. I have forgotten what it felt like to hold my wand, and I liked this feeling. I thought of the burrow and with a wave of my wand, I felt a twist in my stomach.

My feet landed on hard ground, and I immediately got nervous. I haven't seen the whole Weasly family in such a long time, and I didn't know what to say to them. What if they don't like me anymore because I left without telling anyone. What if they stay mad at me and won't let me stay? What would I do then?

My train of thought was interrupted when I heard my name. I turned around and there stood a girl with bright red hair looking at me.

"Hermione?"

"Ginny I..." I didn't get to finish my sentence and felt a pair of arms squeezing the breath out of me.

"Oh how I missed you Hermione, I'm so glad your back!"

"I'm glad to be back too. I've missed you so much, you and everyone else. I can't wait to see them, it feels like ages since the last time I have seen them." Standing there with Ginny did make me happy, I am glad I'm here because I have missed them.

"Alright, enough standing around, lets go into the house and see everyone. I think they're all eating dinner at the moment. Lets go."

Each step closer to the door made me more nervous about seeing everyone again. I held my breath as Ginny opened the door and we both stepped inside.

In a loud voice, Ginny of course announced my arrival, "Look who's come back"
